Hogwarts starts with stealing power

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Xiaxian sent a message to Draco using a carrier pigeon.

If Draco came back to the dorm, a carrier pigeon would wake her.

After just a few minutes of waiting, the carrier pigeon returned to Lin Xia with the letter in its beak. Its pair of small black bean-like eyes seemed to emit wisdom, and it shook its head at her.

Lin Xia gently stroked the pigeon's feathers, fed it magic grains, and then untied the letter box on its leg.

"I understand. Go and have some rest."

Lin Xia walked out of the warm common room and headed for the laboratory. The air was filled with the sweet smell of biscuits. She turned her head and looked out the window. Not far away, some students had already built many snowmen.

In such cold temperatures, the snowman will not melt.

Among so many snowmen, she immediately recognized the masterpiece of the Weasley twins.

As expected of someone who likes to play pranks, even the snowman he built is so funny and looks like——

Well, like Professor Snape.

I don't know how they found the item to act as greasy hair. That thing looks a bit like black kelp or some kind of black seaweed?

Lin Xia shook her head and thought: If Professor Snape saw this snowman, he would definitely take the opportunity to deduct points from Gryffindor again.

She came to the laboratory and checked the situation of Draco's private laboratory. The door was closed and the central console detected that someone was still using the laboratory.

Lin Xia was a little worried about Draco's safety.

After all, those black bugs are connected to the power of the evil god's world. If Draco doesn't handle it well, he will most likely be invaded by the power of the evil god's world.

It would be bad if I got infected by then.

Although low-level and mid-level infections can be controlled, control does not mean expulsion, and the black bugs will still remain in the body.

If possible, wizards would try not to have any bugs at all.

Lin Xia pondered for a while, operated the console, and finally waved his wand to activate the command: "Turn on the surveillance of Draco's exclusive laboratory."

A light blue light appeared in front of her, accompanied by a "clicking" sound, as if something was being adjusted.

The screen suddenly lit up, and Lin Xia saw Draco's back. He was holding the reagent in his hands and waving his hands, as if he was dancing.

Although Draco's expression could not be seen, judging from his exaggerated body movements, this should be a special refining ritual of strange medicine.

She couldn't help but remain silent.

No wonder Draco only asked them to collect various strange materials, but rarely told them about the configuration process, nor did he let them watch.

It turns out that strange medicine not only requires strange materials, but also the configuration is like this...

Is it abstract?

No wonder after Draco acquired the Art of Weird Medicine, he privately consulted Professor Snape, but the professor thought he was talking nonsense and told him not to try to take shortcuts and defile the sacred potion.

After Draco came back, he complained to them in a depressed tone, saying that Professor Snape had misunderstood him, and that the professor was not knowledgeable enough and did not understand the diversity of potion making...

Lin Xia looked at the blue light screen and saw Draco dancing with his back to her for a while, then taking a short break, switching from leg movements to hand movements and continuing to make the potion.

But just a few minutes later, he started dancing again.

emmm……

It's no surprise that Professor Snape doesn't understand this method of refining medicine. It's really...

Suddenly, the blue light screen seemed to be disturbed by something, the picture became blurred and stuck, and soon turned dark.

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows, waved her wand again, and cast a spell: "Appear indoors!"

The wand in front of me didn't respond at all, and the spell failed!

Lin Xia looked up in the direction of Draco's laboratory, a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes. It seemed that Draco's research had made some progress, and the peeping spell was interfered with in some way, causing it to stop working.

-

After making sure that Draco was okay, Lin Xia went outside the castle for a run.

She ran three laps and saw Wood leading a group of Gryffindor team members to come for training.

Just one day after the school announced the punishment of Ronan Lynch and the Ravenclaw team, the Quidditch final team was replaced.

Ravenclaw lost to Gryffindor, and was originally going to play Slytherin, while Gryffindor played Hufflepuff.

It wasn't because Hufflepuff won the last game, but because Hufflepuff hadn't played against Gryffindor this term, so it was the turn of these two teams.

However, now, after the school's rearrangement, the Gryffindor team will play the Slytherin team in the final, and the Quidditch championship will be decided by these two colleges.

Lin Xia heard some gossip from Ron. It was said that when the professor was discussing, the teams from the other four major colleges were also there. They were all arguing for their own teams, including Hufflepuff.

The Hufflepuff team is not without good players. For example, Cedric performed very well on the court. Unfortunately, his teammates were not very strong, which resulted in Hufflepuff not reaching the finals for two years.

This was a rare opportunity, and the Hufflepuff team, which had always been lying down, finally stood up and wanted to play a match with Gryffindor.

After comprehensive consideration and extensive discussion, the professor finally chose a more fair method:

The final teams will be determined based on the team points of this season.

Gryffindor and Slytherin were chosen.

"The Hufflepuff captain had nothing to say in the face of this decision.

Points are awarded for wins and draws, while points are deducted for losses.

Regardless of how many points the other two teams have scored this semester, at least they have positive scores.

Unlike Hufflepuff, whose points have reached negative numbers...

"Good morning, Senior Wood!"

Lin Xia passed by Wood and greeted him.

Wood chased after him, puffing out white mist from his mouth: "Good morning, Lin Xia, nice to see you. Every time I come to train early in the morning, I feel happy to see someone here."

Lin Xia glanced at the gravity wristband on Wood's hand.

When it comes to training, no one can compare to the captain of Gryffindor. He is a ruthless man.

The Gryffindor team has been able to achieve good results in the Quidditch field for several consecutive years, which is inseparable from having a good captain.

Lin Xia said, "Wood, you brought your team here for special training again. What method did you come up with to deal with Slytherin this time?"

Wood chuckled, "Although I don't want to admit it, the Slytherin team is not only very well-equipped, but also has remarkable playing awareness. They have also developed some peculiar formations that are very tricky to use in Quidditch games.

But this time I have invited a powerful foreign player, who can design some new formations for our Gryffindor to deal with the impact of Slytherin!"

Wood didn't say anything else, but Lin Xia looked at the expression on his face and suddenly guessed something, and asked:

"You got in touch with Ronan Lynch, you forgave him, and then he came to give you advice?"

The smile on Wood's face froze. How could Lin Xia be so sensitive?

He said stubbornly, "No, no!"

Lin Xia smiled softly: "Wood, it would be great if you really find Ronan Lynch. Although he cheated, the victory still belongs to Gryffindor. As a winner, you still have this elegance and composure.

Moreover, Ronan is the captain and think tank of Ravenclaw. The Ravenclaw team can achieve its current success without the captain's strategy. "

After listening to her analysis, Wood couldn't help but nod, unconsciously revealing the news.

"I think so too. I have played so many games against the Ravenclaw team. I know their strength. Even if Ronan didn't cheat, the Ravenclaw team is still a strong opponent.

What's more, Ronan is not familiar with the tracking spell. This is just the method he just tried. If this method is really powerful, we would not win.

Any grudges become trivial in front of winning the championship. As long as we can win the championship, I am willing to put aside my grudges and accept the training plan proposed by Ronan. "

Lin Xia observed him and saw that he had a wry smile on his face. She said, "But some people in the team disagree. Cheating is cheating. No matter what the reason is, cheating is shameful."

Wood took a deep breath and said firmly: "I am also for the ultimate victory."

Lin Xia expressed her thoughts: "You can find Ronan as an external aid. Ravenclaw is very good at arranging formations. Let him come up with a formation for you to deal with Slytherin.

But you have to understand that he must have a deep understanding of the personality and playing style of each Gryffindor player in order to create a formation that suits your style. For Gryffindor, this is equivalent to exposing the data of all the players.

The Ravenclaw team is not easy to deal with, and Ronan, as the captain, is even more difficult to deal with. Don't lose the long-term interests for a temporary victory. Otherwise, even if you beat Slytherin, you will lose to Ravenclaw. "

Wood nodded cautiously, and his restless emotions seemed to be cooled down instantly.

"I'll find a way to fix this."

-

"Lin Xia!"

She had just finished running and was about to return to the castle for breakfast when the Weasley twins called her over and pulled Harry over with them.

Lin Xia greeted them and asked, "Is your training over? Do you want to go to the auditorium with me for breakfast?"

The Weasley twins shook their heads in unison.

George quickly complained, "No, Wood has gone crazy. There are still 10 days until Christmas and 8 days until the Quidditch final. He requires us to come to training from morning to night. Even in class, we have to wear various weight-increasing bracelets and anklets."

Fred looked horrified: "I think Wood thinks we are supermen. Oh, my God, we are just little wizards! Why use physical strength to solve something that can be solved with magic?"

George and Fred said in unison, "What's even more terrifying to us is that he actually invited Ronan Lynch, that despicable cheater, to give us special training! We will never accept any arrangement proposed by this person!"

The twins nudged Harry with their elbows, asking him to say something as well.

Harry was a little embarrassed. He was very angry at Ronan for cheating, but in the final chase of the game, even though Ronan didn't have the tracking spell, he showed great willpower.

This made him feel complicated about Ronan, and he didn't know what to say.

Lin Xia looked at Harry and said, "Putting aside this person's behavior, do you think it's not a good idea for Ronan to be Gryffindor's foreign aid?"

Harry said hesitantly, "If you don't look at his cheating, Ronan is an experienced Quidditch player and very smart. It is said that he designed the Ravenclaw formation all by himself."

The Weasley twins sneered. They only had bad feelings towards cheaters, not good feelings.

If Ronan was not a Ravenclaw student but a Gryffindor student, they would have played a prank on him in the house long ago.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "In fact, Wood has discussed this with me before. If Gryffindor really wants to win, it has to combine the advantages of Ravenclaw to fight back. You may not have counted it, but I have.

When the Ravenclaw team plays against the Slytherin team, Ravenclaw has a winning rate of 65%. This extra winning rate is enough to prove that Ravenclaw's playing style is better than Slytherin's.

"But," she changed the subject, "if you are worried that Ronan will do something else, then why not make him swear that he will never reveal the core data of your players, even if the Ravenclaw team asks."

Harry's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"

George: "That's not good at all. There are so many ways to circumvent the oath. If you want to reveal it, there is always a way to reveal it."

Fred agreed, "Yes, we are very familiar with this. Not long ago, we swore to Professor Trelawney that we would never write about the prophecy method in the magazine, but we use the properties of the forgetfulness grass-"

George quickly covered Frey's mouth and stopped him from saying anything more.

Lin Xia shrugged and said helplessly: "Since you don't believe in the binding force of the oath, why don't you learn from Ronan and learn his way of arranging formations, and then design a special formation for Gryffindor?"

Harry hadn't really thought of this method yet, so he turned to look at the twins.

The twins looked at each other and then made a "die heroically" expression.

George said seriously: "For the future of Gryffindor, I am willing to endure the humiliation and go undercover beside Ronan to learn from him."

Fred wiped his eyes with his hand: "Goodbye, my brother, I will miss you!"

Lin Xia: …

There's no need to make it seem like a life-and-death farewell.

"Harry!"

Harry was called by Wood to do training again.

George said: "Poor Harry baby, since being targeted by Wood, he has been training almost all the time except sleeping. Even when eating, he has to discuss tactics with the captain."

Fred: "Oh, let's have three minutes of silence for this poor kid."

The two men lowered their heads, made gestures in unison, and shouted together, "Merlin!"

Lin Xia looked at them: "You just mentioned Professor Trelawney. I want to ask you something. Is there anything unusual about Professor Trelawney recently?"

"Strange?" The twins were stunned. George said, "Isn't she strange every day?"

Fred: "I'm not sure what you mean by strange."

Lin Xia's amber eyes flashed with a meaningful look, "You are very smart and understand what I mean." (End of this chapter)
