Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 146 Research Progress

After two classes, the little wizard was a little tired.

Lin Xia and Draco used to wait for the Harry trio to come out of the classroom opposite. After waiting for a while, they found that Harry and the others came out with Professor Quirrell.

Mikel pestered Professor Quirrell to ask questions, but Professor Quirrell was more interested in Harry, and he reluctantly and enthusiastically invited Harry to his office for a chat.

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly. Voldemort behind Quirrell had noticed that Harry had some power about him hidden in him?

She saw this news through Mikel's diary.

Although she didn't know what a "Horcrux" was, Voldemort was really crazy to be able to treat a living person as a Horcrux.

"professor."

Lin Xia and Draco walked forward and greeted each other.

Behind Quirrell, Voldemort became confused.

At this moment, Lin Xia continued: "Professor Quirrell, that's it. How about you try the school's dry cleaners?"

Lin Xia: "A place that specializes in washing clothes for people. Although it also uses magic to dry clean the clothes, it is different from the wizard washing it himself. The dry cleaning shop will provide many supporting services.

Quirrell was so aroused that his confused mind regained some clarity.

"Qiluo, find an opportunity and catch them all. I can give you more powerful power, including the eternal life you want!"

Ron immediately shook his head: "I can't bear it, and I can't understand it. It's just washing clothes, why does it take so long?"

Quirrell seemed to be bewitched, staring at Lin Xia and others and said, "Why don't you all come to my office?"

"Another one is coming. I feel the power. The power in them is very tempting. Catch them all!" A hoarse voice sounded from Quirrell's mind.

If the wizard uses magic to wash it himself, not to mention that the tools cost some gold Galleons to buy, just for this length of time, can you bear to wash clothes for half an hour? "

Quirrell's cheek twitched a few times, barely keeping his head.

If the dry cleaner loses your clothes, they will compensate you with a new one for free. I have been compensated and the quality is pretty good. "

Quirrell returned to his office.

Lin Xia explained: "So the dry cleaning shop was created to save wizards time. I only recently learned that the school has such a dry cleaning shop, which is opened next to the grocery store."

They have prepared special tools for dry cleaning, wet cleaning, air washing, fluffy washing, etc. After washing, they will also apply perfume to maintain the color of the clothes and iron the wrinkles on the clothes. The whole process takes at least half an hour.

"Dry cleaner?"

"Master, they are all Hogwarts students, we can't do this."

Before Quirrell could say anything, Ron asked curiously, "What is this?"

He shook his head quickly: "No, just do your research. I have other things to do."

Lin Xia refused without hesitation: "Professor, I have to do experiments later and look at a lot of data, but if the professor is willing to bring some help to my experiments, I will be happy to invite the professor to my laboratory to watch "

She looked at the professor and said kindly: "I heard that Professor Quirrell was pranked by the little wizard recently and lost several pieces of clothes. Why not take the returned dirty clothes to the dry cleaners.

Professor Quirrell stumbled and said, "I, I will consider it."

She spoke a bunch of complicated and obscure terms.

When he opened the door, he was stunned and saw his extremely messy box, and his face turned ugly.

Recently, Filch kept coming to check his box without saying hello, which made him very passive and he didn't dare to hide many things in the box.

No, to be precise, there is no room for hiding anything in his office. Suddenly, Qiluo thought of Lin Xia's suggestion.

He looked down at himself and felt that his clothes were a little dirty. After thinking for a while, Quirrell was going to go to the dry cleaners next to the grocery store.

On the other side, Lin Xia said goodbye to everyone and went to the bathroom.

She took out a strange object from her small purse - a hypnotic pocket watch.

Just when she was talking to Quirrell, she activated the hypnotic pocket watch, and the magic power in her body was quickly consumed. She only gave Quirrell a hint in the conversation that "the dry cleaning shop is very good, you can try it when you have time."

When the hypnotic pocket watch was activated, he did not appear in front of Quirrell, so the hypnotic effect was very weak.

But there is Voldemort in Quirrell. If the stimulation is too strong, Lin Xia is also worried that it will stimulate Voldemort.

This kind of spiritual suggestion, bit by bit every day, will not be noticed by others.

This is the first time Lin Xia has used the power of strange objects seriously, and it feels pretty good.

Lin Xia stared at the golden eye on the pocket watch, and that eye was also staring at her.

Suddenly, golden eyes blinked at Lin Xia.

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at the pocket watch again, and saw the appearance of a clock appearing around the golden eyes. There was no minute hand, only hands.

At this moment, the pointer is pointing between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock, stopping at half the mark.

There was a faint message in her mind, which was obtained from the hypnotic pocket watch.

[The golden pocket watch is successfully activated once]
Lin Xia thought for a moment and revealed the news to the little white cat in the sea of ​​soul consciousness.

Soon, she walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

Arriving at the auditorium on the second floor, before the little wizard started eating, the owl postman had already delivered the letter.

Lin Xia discovered that the owl had a newspaper on its talons today.

Two newspapers were also thrown by owls on her desk, namely The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler.

The headlines of these two newspapers all wrote one thing -

[Gringotts Fire Dragon Escape! 】

[On Easter Day, the new fire dragon that had just been shipped from Gringotts became restless and suddenly rushed out of Gringotts. According to Gringotts' official reply, the newly shipped fire dragon was called Gemstone Dragon. It was highly resistant to drugs and had special skin. , it is not easy to inject drugs.

The gem dragon broke through the shackles, thanks to its special gem skin. Now the Gringotts goblins have issued a reward to the Ministry of Magic, hoping that someone who stops the escaped gem dragon will be greatly rewarded.

As for any losses caused by the escape of the fire dragon, Gringotts has fully compensated them. There is no need to worry. Gringotts is still the safest bank in the British wizarding world. ]
In the center of the newspaper, the goblin representative launched by Gringotts was delivering a speech.

"There is no loss of gold coins. They have all been recovered. Don't worry, everyone. Gringotts will find a more suitable new fire dragon to protect everyone's property!"

There were little wizards around who saw this news and couldn't help but discuss it curiously.

"Actually, I don't understand why Gringotts must use fire dragons to guard it. Can't they use other magical creatures?"

"Don't fire dragons love gold coins very much? Only the habits of the fire dragon can keep it in one place!"

"But the gold coins can be taken out at any time. Does the Fire Dragon want his treasure to be taken away easily? Doesn't Gringotts use medicine to control the Fire Dragon?"

"I think it's a bit pitiful that the fire dragon is imprisoned there by the goblins. Can't Gringotts come up with other ways to prevent theft?"
