Hogwarts starts with stealing power

As long as it is a rune, whether it is a language or a number, it has mysterious powers, represents the oldest magic, and has the power to point directly to the origin of magic.

There are many legends about Hogwarts, among which there are countless legends about the four founders.

One of the legends says that the four founders came out from a mysterious place and continued to study magic. They studied ancient runes.

Compared with other magic schools, Hogwarts has an incomparable advantage, that is, it has a magic class.

The school has never stopped studying runes. The establishment of magic classes has continuously cultivated many excellent alchemists for the British wizarding world.

This is the information that Lin Xia found when investigating alchemy some time ago.

When seeing this introduction, the book also showed a rune number, which was a strange "1", representing the horn of a unicorn.

And this strange "1" appeared on the magic array on the brick wall, and Lin Xia recognized it as a rune.

She turned around and said, "Draco, have you finished your paper? We need to send it out as soon as possible. There is another important thing waiting for us."

…

Draco and Lin Xia went to the Great Hall. They hurriedly finished dinner and called an owl to send the paper to "Magic Potions and Research".

The paper has an anti-peek spell. This spell comes with the paper and does not need to be set by wizards.

And these paper papers are made by major journals, and each journal has a corresponding anti-spell.

If Lin Xia and Draco get their papers back in the future, they can know which journal has opened their papers through the paper paper.

In the wizarding world, ordinary wizards cannot understand the paper. If it accidentally falls into their hands, the paper will be automatically destroyed.

And those journals opened the paper, based on their own reputation, they could not take it for themselves.

The wizarding world generally relies on this method to ensure the safety of the paper.

Although Lin Xia feels that there is a lot of room for operation in this process, it is easy to change the paper. It would be better if there is a way to check it online and publish it once it is sent.

But since they all do this, then follow the local customs.

After leaving the Great Hall, Lin Xia and Draco split up.

One informed Professor Snape that the paper had been sent out, and the other informed Dean Sprout of his discovery in the laboratory.

Draco went to Professor Snape's office and met Harry at the corner.

He was a little surprised: "Harry, why are you here?"

Harry's body was tense, his expression was a little nervous, and he said: "I want to find Professor Snape and get my jam jar back."

Draco: "So that's the case, sorry, I thought you would be a little afraid of Professor Snape."

"I was quite afraid before, but Lin Xia said there was no need to be afraid. I went back and thought about it, and I didn't think there was any need to be afraid of Professor Snape. I didn't do anything wrong."

He and Draco walked to the door and knocked on the door, but no one answered from inside.

Draco was about to continue knocking on the door, but as soon as he exerted force with his hand, the door was pushed open.

A horrible scene appeared before his eyes--

There were only Snape and Filch in the room. Snape had lifted his robes above his knees, and one of his legs was bloody and mangled.

Filch was handing him a bandage.

"Damn it," Snape said, "How can you keep an eye on three heads at the same time?"

Harry shuddered and subconsciously tried to close the door. Draco was also stunned, but he grabbed Harry's hand to stop him and quickly said, "Professor!"

Snape quickly put down his robes to cover his injured leg. He looked very angry, and his face was crooked.

"What are you doing here!"

Harry said, "I want to know if I can get my jam jar back."

Draco said, "Professor, Lin Xia and I have already written and mailed our papers, so I came here to tell you."

Snape looked at Harry first and said expressionlessly, "I have already dealt with the jam jar. Are you a three-year-old child, or are you so poor that you can't even afford an empty jar? If you can't afford it, go and apply for a subsidy for poor students."

Then he looked at Draco and said sarcastically, "Are you also a child? Not even three years old? You just mailed the paper and came to me. Do I have to serve you food and milk?"

"Get out of here, both of you, get out!"

Draco and Harry left the office without waiting for him to call out the deduction, and ran upstairs.

When the crisis was resolved, Draco and Harry looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Harry, if you need to find Professor Snape in the future, you can call me."

"Aren't you worried about leaving a bad impression on the professor?"

"No worries, I've almost finished my Potions class anyway, I know everything he teaches."

Harry was really envious, is this the confidence from a top student?

On the other side, Lin Xia found Dean Sprout.

When she went to the greenhouse, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Dean Sprout was taking care of the last few herbs and was about to leave.

When Lin Xia came, she happened to see her transplanting mandrakes.

The mandrakes were pulled up by the roots, making a sharp and piercing scream. Lin Xia felt her ears roaring, and she felt a kind of pain that her soul was about to leave her body.

She frowned, covered her head with her hands, and cast a "blocking ears and blocking hearing" spell on herself.

There was a fine buzzing in his ears, and thankfully, the piercing scream was finally not that annoying.

After Dean Sprout transplanted the mandrake, he turned around and was a little surprised to find Lin Xia coming to the office.

"Lin Xia, why are you here? It's very late now. It's not safe for you to leave Hogwarts."

Lin Xia: "Professor, there is a small problem in my laboratory. I need you to go take a look."

Dean Sprout readily agreed: "Okay, I'm going to check now. By the way, are your ears okay? That was the cry of mandrake just now. It will make a piercing scream when it is pulled out. Only the weaker ones will be harmed.”

Lin Xia shook his head: "It's okay."

The dean was still a little worried, so he picked off a mandrake leaf and handed it to her.

"Hold it in your mouth for a while, it can have a calming effect and eliminate the negative effects of screaming. You are still young and have low immunity. By the next school year, there will be no problem when you hear the cry of mandrake. "

Although the greenhouse is very close to Hogwarts, it is still some distance outside the castle.

The dean looked at the Forbidden Forest in the distance, and he didn't know what he thought of. He said, "If you come to me at night if you have something to do, ask the lark to deliver a message to me. Don't come here in person."

She emphasized: "Young wizards should not leave Hogwarts at night, it is not safe."

Lin Xia was a little strange. It was quiet outside Hogwarts at night, far away from the Forbidden Forest, and there were bright torches burning. What was unsafe about it?

She said: "Okay, Professor, I won't come to you personally next time."

The dean smiled with satisfaction.

She liked Lin Xia very much. She was smart and well-behaved, so she didn't need to waste much time talking.

It's not that she doesn't want to say some things, but it's useless to say them. It's better not to say them, at least the little wizard won't cause trouble.

Arriving at the laboratory on the second floor, Draco was already waiting outside.

The dean walked in. This was her first time in Lin Xia's laboratory.

From site selection to decoration to formal establishment, she never came once.

This is also the style of many professors at Hogwarts. Unless they are really worried, they generally will not interfere in students' decisions.

As a senior level wizard, Dean Sprout immediately felt that there was more magic in the laboratory than in other classrooms, and praised:

"You chose this laboratory well. Not only is it large, but the layout is also reasonable and professional. If you tidy it up a little more and plant some magic plants in it, I'm afraid it will be no worse than my greenhouse."

Lin Xia smiled slyly: "Dean, even if we want to plant some, there is no place to buy them. Why don't you sponsor some for us?"

Draco nodded quickly and looked at the Dean eagerly.

Dean Sprout was unmoved. She had heard the same words many times from many potions masters.

However, she still gives preferential treatment to her students.

"What kind of magic plant do you want? Just tell me and I'll give it to you at the cost price."

"Long live Professor!" Lin Xia cheered happily.

Draco also cheered and clapped. He learned a lot from Lin Xia, and he also learned a lesson today.

It turns out that when facing the dean of his family, if he should be coquettish or cute, he would always get some benefits.

It’s great if you can buy it at cost price. If the professor says it’s free, they won’t dare to take it.

Dean Sprout patrolled around, and finally walked to the place where Lin Xia had done experiments before, and said firmly: "You came to me because of this thing."

The laboratory is well built, the only incongruity is the location.

Draco and Lin Xia did not reinstall the ceiling. There was such a large piece of ceiling missing in this area that you could see it at a glance.

"I suspect that the brick wall on the back of the wooden bow depicts a magic array that can gather magic power. I dare not move the wooden bow."

Dean Sprout's eyes flashed with thought, "The magic text array that gathers magic power, um, ancient magic text runes..."

She mused: "I haven't studied ancient magic texts deeply, so I regret that I can't give you more help, but the school has a special magic text professor—Professor Bathcida Babuling. I believe she can give you some help." A satisfactory answer.”

"In this case, I will ask Professor Babling to come over tomorrow. If this is really a magical array that gathers magic power, it will be a very important help to Hogwarts. Then I will help you apply for extra points for level treatment."

With Dean Sprout here, Lin Xia believes that he will be given what is due to him.

She wanted to know two other things more than this.

"Professor, can I get this wooden bow? Also, in exchange for discovering the magic text array, can I let the school get a magic text array for my laboratory to confine magic?"
