Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 196: The irritable Whomping Willow, Lin Xia who has no plans left
Under the violent shaking, it was difficult for everyone to think. It was good to maintain self-protection.

"boom!!!"

A twisted thick branch made a big hole in the car door, and countless small branches as thick as finger joints launched a hail-like attack.

Thin branches knocked down, making the windshield tremble.

The Whomping Willow seemed to be stimulated.

The transformation from a calm and peaceful tree to an offensive mode was a bit like the giant war tree that Lin Xia had seen in magic books, showing its ruthless ferocity.

Suddenly, a branch as thick as a battering ram was beating wildly on the roof of the car, making a very rhythmic "bang, bang, bang" sound.

Everyone in the car also began to vibrate, and even their bodies began to float.

Boom, boom, boom!

"No, we have to go out, otherwise we will be disturbed and knocked to death, and the car will not be able to bear it!" Ron shouted.

Ron's eyes widened, his face wrinkled, and he said sadly: "My wand..."

Lin Xia and Draco immediately corrected their attitudes, straightened their backs and said seriously: "Ready, Professor."

Hogwarts has sent you a letter in advance. Are you ready? "

"We're fucked!"

Today's welcome party was as lively as expected.

In a panic, Lin Xia fired an armor spell at the car.

A faint light flashed past.

But before they could react, the speeding car that had regained its power seemed to have reached its limit of endurance.

"Come back!" Ron yelled, waving his wand, "Dad will kill me!"

The next second, Ron's wand also broke.

Ron said, slumped in his chair, breathless and in shock.

The armor spell is a medium-difficulty spell, but it is not easy to use it in such an unstable situation.

The group enters Hogwarts.

Behind Filch, the deans of the four major colleges also walked slowly, looking at them and the Whomping Willow behind them with shocked expressions.

"Think of a way quickly. I can't always block its attack. The Whomping Willow is too powerful. My magic power will be exhausted soon!"

It made two "bang bang" sounds, the door opened automatically, and everyone was ejected.

Countless candles stopped in mid-air, illuminating four long tables filled with people and shining on the golden plates and goblets.

Lin Xia: "Well, our focus is not here now. Have you figured out how to deal with the professor?"

The next second, the little wizard's luggage was thrown out, and even the trunk was opened, trying to throw things out.

The Whomping Willow still wanted to chase them, stretching out its branches to hit the escaping car.

Right in front, Filch and Mrs. Lorris stared at them condescendingly and haughtily.

"Armor Charm!"

Its engine restarted!
The speeding car quickly rolled down from the branches of the Whomping Willow and fled the scene in three strokes.

But it can only be blocked once, not the second time.

Now, immediately, return to your seat in the academy, especially you two - Draco and Lin Xia. As outstanding first-year students, you two need to go on stage to give a speech.

Ron tried to open the car door.

However, perhaps it was Lin Xia who fired several armor spells in succession, saving the speeding car from damage, and the speeding car barely recovered some of its power source.

But the speed of the car was very fast, and it narrowly missed the Whomping Willow's maximum attack range at the last second.

It wasn't completely broken, but there was still a bit hanging on it, like the ghost of Nick who was almost headless.

"What a speedster!"

Harry's Hedwig was also thrown out, but luckily her cage was opened, so she flew out on her own.

But the car just puffed out its last breath of exhaust and disappeared into the endless night.

One of the Whomping Willow's attacks was blocked.

But the car door seemed to be welded shut. Not only could it not be opened, but a thick branch broke the glass window and hit him in the face.

This time it was Draco who saved Ron from a vicious uppercut from the Whomping Willow.

Harry took a few deep breaths and said, "It was really suspenseful just now!"

Lin Xia followed closely and cast another armor spell to resist the Whomping Willow's attack again.

After throwing everything away, the speeding car rumbled into the darkness with big craters covered in scars and billowing steam, its taillights still flashing angrily.

Professor McGonagall walked over quickly with an extremely serious face: "Little wizards, when the welcome party is over, you should give us an explanation.

The stars on the ceiling were shining brightly and were cast with special magic.

Ron was the first to break down emotionally. He looked at the collapsed car roof and groaned feebly.

Just like their welcome party last year, it was grand and grand.

Such beautiful scenery, you will never get tired of seeing it every day.

When Lin Xia and the others entered, they happened to see Ginny conducting a test on the Sorting Hat.

The shabby, patched and dirty hat, as soon as it touched Ginny's unique Weasley hair, shouted: "Gryffindor!"

Before Ron returned to the Gryffindor table, he cheered and clapped when he heard this, and said happily to his friends around him:
"I knew Ginny would be sorted into Gryffindor. Our whole family has Gryffindor blood, and we are brave and fearless."

Draco complained: "It's just a bit brainless."

Ron: "Then there would definitely be no Slytherins like you -"

He stopped talking mid-sentence, almost forgetting that Draco was not sorted into Slytherin, but Hufflepuff.

It's really strange that he, a pure-blood family, was not sorted into Hufflepuff!

Lin Xia added with a smile: "What is certain is that you are probably not as good at eating as Hufflepuff."

Not long after Lin Xia and Draco sat down, the professor called them to the stage to give a speech.

Receiving the honor badge in the first grade is a very special honor. Although it is not "unprecedented" and it may not be "unprecedented", it is indeed a big event.

They are accustomed to writing essays, and writing some Mandarin is easy for them.

After the two men finished their speeches.

Dumbledore suddenly appeared, knocked on the glass as usual, and announced that the banquet had officially begun.

Happy time always passes quickly.

After the banquet, the freshmen, led by their prefects, returned to the dormitories of their respective colleges. Lin Xia, Draco, Ron, and Harry had to silently go to Professor McGonagall's office to explain why they drove over in a car and even pestered the Whomping Willow.

Opening the door, the deans of the four major colleges gathered together, and Professor Snape even said:
"The whomping willow tree in front of the school is extremely precious. The bits of skin scraped off from it are high-grade materials, which are neutralizers for many high-grade magic potions.

Do you deserve the damage you caused to the Whomping Willow? "

Professor McGonagall said with a long face: "Snape, let's first listen to why they came to school on a magic speeder."

Snape snorted coldly, "What's so good about this? It's nothing more than the famous Harry Potter. He and his friends didn't think the train was exciting enough. In order to attract attention and have fun, they took the magic speeding car. come over."

Lin Xia's voice was calm and steady, "Professor Snape, I can explain this to you. We didn't come here on purpose without taking the train."

She took out a magic photo recorder from her wizard's robes.

It recorded that she, Harry and others planned to pass the King's Platform, but in the end they were blocked by a solid wall.

This scene surprised everyone else.

Even Draco didn't know when Lin Xia recorded it.

Professor Snape frowned, and Dean Sprout even asked: "Lin Xia, do you know who cast magic on this wall?"

Harry looked at Lin Xia nervously.

For some reason, he didn't want Lin Xia to mention the house elf named "Dobby".

Lin Xia shook his head: "I don't know. There are a lot of Muggles over there, and we can't use magic. We can't find out at all. Maybe there are some potential enemies targeting us."

Professor McGonagall's face became solemn, "You have arrived at Hogwarts, don't worry, this is the safest place in the wizarding world."

With the help of the magic photo machine, Lin Xia successfully explained that they had no choice but to take the magic speed car.

And Ron was also trying his best to explain how old the magic speed car was, and it always broke down when driving.

"There is an invisible boost button inside. We pressed it while driving, but the speeding car reappeared several times. At that time, we didn't know what to do. We could only press it repeatedly until it appeared again. Invisible.”

Snape's intuition was always so sharp and he asked sharply:

"Did you drive in Muggle territory, and then the speed of the car was seen by Muggles?"

Ron and Harry looked at each other, and Ron plucked up the courage and said, "Professor, we are at the King's Platform, which is originally Muggle territory. The speed car fails, and sometimes we have nothing to do."

The four deans all touched their foreheads with some headaches. Professor McGonagall said solemnly: "The Ministry of Magic has strict supervision on this part. You may have been filmed."

She turned around and looked at Professor Filius Flitwick, the Head of Ravenclaw.

"Is there any way you can get in touch with the newspaper and intercept this news?"

Professor Flitwick has long been a contributor to major newspapers.

However, his manuscript is not interesting, but has a strong popularization of magic science. By the way, he also talks about some less popular but very practical magic spells.

Professor Flitwick said solemnly: "I will contact you now, but given the nature of the newspaper, they probably won't miss such a publicity opportunity."

Professor McGonagall said decisively: "Then you can let them publish it, but not on the headlines, only in some remote corners."

Professor Flitwick's solemn look faded a bit, "This should be no problem."

Professor McGonagall looked at the little wizard again, her eyes especially wandering over Harry and Ron.

"You two..."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Let's stay in confinement for a few days. We don't have to go to the Forbidden Forest, and we can just clean the prize display room!"

Ron grimaced: "Professor, we cleaned the prize display room for several days last year. I almost wrote down the names of all the people who won awards there. Can you change the place?"

Professor McGonagall said with a cold face: "Then memorize the spell for me and memorize thirty pages of how to use the transfiguration spell. I will randomly check one page of yours every day!"

Harry and Ron's expressions became even more ugly.

They consider themselves to be poor academics and have little interest in learning.

The only good thing is that Draco and Lin Xia received the same punishment as them, and the professor did not favor anyone.

But after leaving the office.

Ron and Harry found that Draco and Lin Xia could memorize the thirty pages of content only by reviewing it a few times, which was a little sad.

The two of them weren't Hermione, but they struck the same blow as Hermione.

After the little wizard left, a person suddenly appeared in Professor McGonagall's office. That person was Principal Dumbledore!
He had been using an invisibility spell and watching everything from his office.

His sudden appearance gave the four professors a surprise.

Professor Snape said coldly: "Headmaster, it seems that the Ministry of Magic's schedule is not so busy. You haven't left Hogwarts yet."

Dumbledore's blue eyes were hidden under his half-moon glasses. He smiled and said:
"Snape, I still have one night to stay at Hogwarts. I originally wanted to save the little wizards when they were in trouble, but unexpectedly, they did a good job unexpectedly."

He changed his words and looked at Professor Flitwick: "I will take care of the newspaper matter. You don't need to contact the newspaper."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout both nodded in thanks.

Dumbledore said again: "The little wizards are really full of energy. Seeing them always reminds me of my youth. I believe that with the right guidance, the little wizards will go in the right direction. We need to give them a little more patience." ”

On the other side, Lin Xia returned to the golden wooden house.

She lowered her head and stared at her wrist, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

When she entered the professor's office, her wrists felt slightly hot.

But it didn't feel like something was attracting me, it felt more like a kind of resistance caused by encountering some powerful existence.

She kept this matter in her heart, took out the secret key, and connected to the top student channel at Hogwarts.

It was difficult to gather the materials for the resurrection pet egg. There were many materials that Lin Xia had never heard of.

Fortunately, she searched with the secret key and found that some materials appeared directly on the exchange list.

Some can be exchanged directly with gold galleons, but others require completing tasks to obtain contribution points and redeeming them with contribution points.

Lin Xia suspected that Hogwarts had some of the materials that had not been searched.

It's just because she doesn't have enough authority that it's not open to her.

Early the next morning.

Hufflepuff had no classes, but Lin Xia appeared in Professor McGonagall's office.

At this time, the scale of fate on her wrist did not feel hot.

After waiting for a while, Professor McGonagall opened the door and walked in.

It wasn't class time yet, but she was not surprised by Lin Xia's arrival.

Lin Xia had already sent a message to her via bird in advance, explaining it in advance.

Professor McGonagall sat down and said calmly: "Let me tell you first, why do you know how to expel aliens on the Sky City?"
