Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 212: The information revealed by the frame, Filch’s loyalty, and that cold voice
This is the second time Lin Xia has seen the materials that rejuvenate pet eggs.

The first time I saw it was in the secret key, and I saw part of it directly from the redemption list.

But some materials are not displayed.

Originally, she was thinking about unlocking the permissions and maybe being able to get it, but now it seems that as long as she breaks through a world-class wizard problem, there may be hope for the resurrection of the pet egg.

Lin Xiafu lowered his head again and glanced at the difficult question raised by Mr. Ollivander.

He picked the first one——

"How to solve the problem of incompatibility between the wand and magic power in the secret realm"!
It's night again.

Even on weekends, Lin Xia was recruited to serve as a strong man, patrolling Hogwarts at night.

On the bright side.

The crisis in Hogwarts has been resolved, and the little wizard believes that there will be no more problems in Hogwarts.

But in fact.

As an outstanding student, Lin Xia was deeply touched by the fact that the professor was moving him around like bricks.

Hogwarts is loose on the outside but tight on the inside!

Although Lin Xia was temporarily summoned to watch the night this time, Lin Xia was still issued protective items such as leaves of clarity to prevent her from losing consciousness when faced with gibbering.

However, with Lin Xia's physique, which is completely resistant to mumbling, giving out these things is equivalent to giving out welfare.

Before the night patrol, Professor McGonagall said seriously: "This time we will not only catch the little wizards wandering at night and urge them to return to the common room as soon as possible, but we will also collect abnormal phenomena and make a report and submit it."

"Abnormal phenomenon?" Lin Xia asked involuntarily.

Professor Snape's condescending voice came: "Why, our famous outstanding student Lin Xia doesn't know what abnormal phenomena are. Do you still need a professor to help you popularize science?"

Lin Xia ignored Snape's sudden harsh words and asked calmly: "I don't know what abnormal phenomena are. Everything in Hogwarts is extremely magical to me. Maybe the abnormalities in my eyes are not the same in Hogwarts." Tsiri is just normal.”

Professor McGonagall thought for a while: "It's my fault, I forgot to tell you what an abnormality is."

She waved her magic wand, and five automatic quills floated up together with five pieces of white paper. The automatic quills leaped across the white paper like dancing.

After a while, I wrote down lines of precautions.

Then she waved her magic wand again and handed out four blank papers to the students. As for the professor, she ignored them.

Even outside professors' understanding of "abnormal phenomena" is not comparable to that of ordinary students.

This time, a new professor was added to the night watch, namely Professor Lockhart.

He was standing next to Lin Xia.

When Lin Xia lowered his head to read the instructions on the paper, he also poked his head and read along.

After Lin Xia finished reading, he looked up and saw that Lockhart immediately turned his head and waved his arm as if nothing happened.

"The weather is so nice today! No, the night sky is so bright tonight!"

Lin Xia looked around and saw that this abandoned classroom had no windows.

Professor McGonagall said: "Okay, the time has come. We have to go on patrol as soon as possible."

As soon as Lin Xia walked out of the door, Professor Lockhart's voice came: "Lin Xia, wait for me!"

Lin Xia asked with eyes open.

Professor Lockhart said: "Is this your first time on night patrol? I'm on night patrol with you." He waved his wand specifically, revealing his strong-looking arm muscles. "If you encounter danger, I can still protect you." you."

Lin Xia shook his head: "Professor, I have already patrolled the night once. I can complete the task alone. How about you go find the students who need more protection?"

Lockhart was a little surprised, "Who else?"

Lin Xia smiled slightly: "Draco, as an excellent student, is participating in the night watch for the first time. You can stay with him and tutor him."

Sell ​​your teammates decisively!
Professor Lockhart said: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look now!"

When Lockhart turned around, Lin Xia quickly dodged to another corridor and disappeared in a few seconds.

At this moment, Lockhart, who was halfway there, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked: "Lin Xia, I didn't see which direction Draco was going, you..."

Lockhart looked around, "Hey, where are the people?"

At this time, Lin Xia had already arrived at the Gryffindor lounge through a certain route.

She stood at the door of the lounge, with the fat lady in the frame, elegantly raising her glass and chatting with her.

"Little witch, don't you have a glass of red wine?"

Lin Xia said politely: "Madam, I am not yet a minor!"

The fat lady covered her mouth and snickered: "It's my fault. I almost forgot that you are not yet an adult, but in many ways, you are more sane and stable than an adult wizard."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "For example?"

The fat lady took a sip of red wine and complained: "For example, your new professor, I have never seen such a narcissistic person!
Not only did he torture his own portrait frame, he also wanted to torture me. He clearly didn’t know the Gryffindor password, but he kept asking me to chat and asked me if he was handsome, but no one cares whether he is handsome or not. Woolen cloth! "

Lin Xia covered her mouth and snickered.

Even though she was handsome, it was impossible for the Fat Lady to escape from the portrait frame and date Professor Lockhart.

Lin Xia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Madam, have you noticed anything unusual recently?"

The fat lady asked, "Something abnormal?"

She said regretfully: "Yes, there are fewer and fewer young couples dating in school. Hogwarts seems to be very relaxed recently, but in fact it has been under martial law, and young couples from different houses cannot go out. .

The day before yesterday, I saw Mag catch a man on a tryst. It was really a fight between two lovers. I shed tears for the young couple when I saw it. What should I do if my relationship becomes unstable in the future..."

Lin Xia patiently listened to the fat lady's chatter.

After about a few minutes, she finally said what she wanted to hear.

"Strangers have been coming over lately, asking me to open the door to the Gryffindor common room, but they don't know the password."

Lin Xia asked keenly: "Strangers? Are they not Gryffindor students?"

Fat Lady: "Students? No, no, no, I think they don't even look like students in their outfits."

She wrinkled her nose in disgust, "It smells bad. It's not as pure as a student. It smells like a dark wizard."

Lin Xia recorded the news.

"Have you talked to other frames about this problem? Have they encountered it too?"

The fat lady seemed to be awakened, and said excitedly: "We haven't communicated before, I'm going to ask now, come and visit, don't miss me too much, little witch~
While you're thinking about me, I'm sunbathing in a luxurious pool with delicious wine by the side.

Oh, maybe I can invite my friends to come over for a party. We haven't communicated together for a while. It's all because Hogwarts has been a little unusual recently, so we have to stay at our respective jobs... "

After a while, the fat lady disappeared from the frame.

Shortly after it left, the door to the Gryffindor common room opened from the inside. Lin Xia looked over, but there was no one there.

She cast the spell silently and without a wand, cast the counter-spell of the invisibility spell, and broke the invisibility spell.

Looking over again, George and Fred were waving to her.

"Can she not see us?" "But she should be able to hear us."

"But wouldn't it be a little weird to talk to a ball of air?"

Lin Xia said at this time: "I can see you, take me to the place where you found the abnormality before."

George and Fred said in unison: "Yes, guest!"

George and Fred will participate in tonight's night patrol, mainly because Lin Xia wants to know where they found the anomaly.

If they take it with you, you won't find the wrong way and it will be more convenient.

Lin Xia discovered that while the twins were leading the way, they were also holding a piece of parchment in their hands and looking down from time to time.

She glanced at it and saw that what was drawn on the parchment should be a map. The route was very complicated.

But the reason why it is complicated is because there are too many densely packed words on it.

Sometimes text that pops up suddenly blocks the original route on the map.

Wait, text?
Lin Xia couldn't help but be startled, why did she see her name on the parchment just now!
Take a closer look, aren't the names of each little wizard recorded on this parchment?

Even the names of major professors are recorded on it.

Lin Xia frowned: "Senior Weasley, you parchment——"

"Shh!" Before she could finish her words, George booed her.

Fred pointed at a small corner in front of him.

In the shadow of that corner, there was a subtle yellow light swaying gently.

If you don't pay attention, you will be ignored.

Lin Xia discovered that it was Filch!

Filch deliberately squatted in the corner to see if any little wizard would throw himself into the trap!
Next to him, Mrs. Lorris was also waiting quietly, her calm eyes suddenly becoming sharper when she saw the student.

Mrs. Lorris's chance of catching a student is higher than the professor's chance of catching a student.

Lin Xia walked over and took the initiative to say hello: "Administrator Filch, Mrs. Loris."

Filch moved his hand slowly, changed the position of the coal lamp, and said hoarsely: "I just seemed to hear someone you were talking to."

Lin Xia: "I sometimes talk to myself. I am not talking to anyone, but talking to myself, affirming or denying some of my thoughts."

Filch fell silent.

His huge pupils stared at Lin Xia, and then slowly looked away.

Although he felt that Lin Xia was lying, he did not want to expose it. Compared with those students who only make trouble, Lin Xia is obviously different.

Lin Xia glanced at Mrs. Luo Lisi.

There are a lot of amulets hanging from its thin cat neck.

Filch seems to have stepped up his protection of it recently.

Lin Xia was sure that even if the outside wizard had to deal with the little wizard, it would be easier to deal with Mrs. Loris.

With the density of this guardian talisman, it is really impossible for a wizard to break it for a while, unless he encounters a high-level powerhouse and directly crushes it.

But often once such a strong person appears in Hogwarts, other strong people will naturally sense it and come forward to fight against it.

So in Hogwarts, Mrs. Norris can completely walk sideways at this time.

Just as Lin Xia was about to say goodbye to Administrator Filch, she suddenly thought of something and turned around and said: "Administrator Filch, Mr. Ollivander sent me a letter today, which is related to the wizarding world's joint intelligence competition. .

You asked me before if you could come up with a topic to solve the problem of "Squibs can sense magic power but cannot use magic power".

I reported this topic to Mr. Ollivander, and he helped me push it up. The organizing committee agreed that this topic is of great significance for research and solution.

But because other topics have higher priority, this topic is placed as the third priority. "

Lin Xia paused and said, "It may take several years, or even more than ten years, to solve this problem."

But Filch was not disappointed!

On the contrary, he felt very excited!

Every word Lin Xia said was like a piece of surprising gold falling on him.

Filch's rickety body straightened up a bit. If he didn't have to maintain a rigid, serious and solemn posture, he now wished he could lift Mrs. Lorris and dance on the spot!

Researching "how to make Squibs use magic power" was actually listed as the third priority!
what does this mean?
There are so many problems waiting to be solved in the wizarding world. In comparison, Squibs are not taken seriously by people.

But this time, it was actually listed as the third priority, which proves that many wizards have not forgotten the plight of the Squib!

Just like many squibs have not given up on themselves, many wizards have also not given up on squibs!
Filch looked at Lin Xia deeply and bowed to her.

Lin Xia took a few steps back, refusing to accept his courtesy, and said, "It's too heavy, you don't have to do this."

Filch's voice was hoarse.

It seemed as if it was mixed with moist wind, and passed through the dry throat. By the time the sound came out, it had turned into a strange tone, half-laughing, half-crying, half-crying.

"But before that, there weren't many wizards thinking about us, and it's nice that you're willing to help us," he stammered.

In his cold life, he had never spoken so softly, and he had never been so grateful to someone.

Lin Xia smiled and said: "I'm really serious. Let's do this. If you feel very sorry and want to thank me, you can tell me about some anomalies that have happened in Hogwarts recently. I am investigating this matter."

Filch whispered: "If I find anything, I will report it to you."

Mrs. Lorris noticed Filch's joy, rubbed her body against Filch's leg, and called out softly.

Before Lin Xia left, he specifically said: "You should go back and rest first. Don't stay outside for too long to avoid any interference."

Shallow vague murmurs are of no use to wizards, but Lin Xia is not sure about squibs either.

As George walked with Fred, he mentioned Filch.

George: "I have never seen him show such respect to anyone else. Except for Dumbledore, he never bowed his head to anyone, even when facing the professor."

Fred: "Who told you not to solve the problem of squibs? If you were a research scholar, like Lin Xia, you would be respected by Filch."

George: "No, I don't want Filch to think about me and stare at me all day long."

Filch is an administrator who specializes in catching disobedient students.

With the twins' temperament, they had fought with Filch countless times, so it was normal for them to have no feelings for Filch.

Suddenly, George stopped and said, "This is right here. Outside that classroom, I saw the pages of the book suddenly turning."

Lin Xia pushed open the classroom door.

The books placed on the table were not turned over, but she suddenly stopped and heard some kind of cold, damp, and extremely evil sound.

"Tear...kill...purify..."
