Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 223: The dispute between Mikel and Neville; returning to being a stranger; the legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets

the next day.

The little wizard is still talking about the evil attack that happened last night.

Although nothing happened last night, many young wizards felt alarmed, and some students had noticed that Hogwarts was no longer so safe.

This also resulted in Lin Xia's team receiving a large order for "Guardian Buttons".

At the same time, the guardian charms sold in the school grocery store were also sold out.

Lin Xia also saw the related task of "Guardian Talisman Making" in the secret key of the Alchemist Association, and frequently refreshed the screen in the task square.

Lin Xia only knew about the large number of guardian talisman production tasks issued by private organizations through the alchemy secret key.

I'm afraid that the ghost riot last night was not just a problem in Hogwarts, but also happened in other places.

Because guardian talismans are needed in too many places, this has also led to a rapid increase in knowledge points gained from making "guardian talismans".

A group of people came to the auditorium to have dinner.

Most likely, it's cold.

Nick shrugged and said helplessly: "Today, many wizards immediately avoided me when they saw me. How unjust I am, because I wanted to save you last night."

In the classroom, Mikel and Neville were already there, and they were discussing something.

It's better to pretend that you don't know, at least you won't be sad.

The fat monk floated beside her and suddenly said softly: "I feel some kind of power from them, and that kind of power will occasionally appear next to you."

Those rotten and moldy foods didn't taste as bad as they did. I thought I was a corpse that had been soaked in the sewer for a long time. "

I don’t know how many months it will take for the first-tier journals to finish reviewing and approve this paper. At that time, I don’t know whether the God Amulet will still be as popular as it is now. "

Lin Xia asked: "No matter what, I still want to congratulate you on Happy Halloween. By the way, did you feel anything unusual about the evil spirit last night?"

Because the wizarding world has been collecting guardian talismans for a long time, it is a hard currency, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it after collecting it.

Not to mention having a Halloween atmosphere, even the real Halloween seems to have been forgotten by everyone, including the ghosts born and raised in Hogwarts.

Hermione watched the owl that delivered the letter leave from the edge of the window, and asked curiously: "What confidence do you have about this journal?"

Lin Xia recalled the scene she saw yesterday.

"Little wizard, you seem to be in a good mood. I'm really glad that the evil spirit attack last night did not cause a huge psychological shadow on you."

Lin Xia asked calmly: "What kind of power is it?"

Maybe they can also add "Guardian Buttons" to the Alchemist's Key, so that other wizards can not only make Guardian Talismans, but also Guardian Buttons.

The fat monk shook his head and floated away: "I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't become a ghost!"

Compared with ordinary ghosts, the ghosts of the four major colleges are more powerful in combat.

If you missed it, then let it go.

Unfortunately, we were outnumbered, so they only held on for a while, and were quickly submerged in the crowd.

And Nick, who was almost headless, was still describing the smell of evil spirits endlessly, without any idea that he had missed several Halloween gifts.

They are more powerful than individual evil spirits. One ghost can deal with two or three evil spirits.

Lin Xia and others looked at each other. They all had a tacit understanding and did not disturb Nick's thoughts.

In the laboratory.

If you listen carefully, it seems to be about potions.

Lin Xia said: “It’s possible, but the review and waiting process for first-tier journals is too long, and now is the time when guardian charms are in great demand.

But then again.

After dinner, Lin Xia and others went to the Potions classroom together.

Lin Xia and others quickly compiled the paper on "Guardian Button" and sent it to the journal "The Ancient Alchemist" at the speed of light, hoping that the paper would be approved as soon as possible.

Ron said with some regret: "Can't Guardian Button sprint into first-tier journals?"

If it passes later, it won't actually have a big impact.

Draco said: "This is a second-tier journal, not a first-tier journal. The selection criteria are not so strict. I think it is very likely that it will pass. It may be sooner or later."

Nick, who was almost headless, said: "I bit into the evil spirits fiercely and tasted their taste, and it turned out to be more unpleasant than I imagined!

Today is the real Halloween, but the halls of Hogwarts have all been transformed into normal decorations.

Come to noon.

Lin Xia believed that with the frequency of making guardian talismans, a large number of guardian talismans should be used somewhere.

If you pass the paper early, Guardian Button can also reap a wave of dividends.

"Hello, little wizard." The fat monk floated over kindly, took off his hat and greeted Lin Xia and others.

Hearing what it said, the little wizards were so frightened that they trembled and ran away immediately.

The almost headless knight Nick also floated over.

There were several little wizards, holding gifts in their hands, trying to get close to the almost headless Nick.

Ron couldn't help but say: "Have you ever felt that after Neville stayed with Mikel, he seemed to have become more daring to express his own opinions, and he was more lively and bold than before."

Harry said "Yeah", "I feel the same way."

Hermione occupied the front row seat as always. Her partner in Potions class was a Ravenclaw student, and she worked very well with her.

Coincidentally, both of them like to sit in the front row, thinking that they can record the essence of the class.

Hermione said: "This is a good thing. Neville should make more friends and become more cheerful."

While talking, Mikel and Neville seemed to have some kind of argument, and the volume became louder.

Mikel suddenly turned around and walked over, coming to Lin Xia amidst the puzzled eyes of everyone.

He said: "Lin Xia, can I change partners with you in Potions class? I want to be paired with Neville."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "The reason."

Mikel: "I have a potion problem, and I have been discussing it with Neville for a long time, but I have always been able to decide who is right.

I want to take advantage of this Potions class to test my thinking and see who is right and who is wrong. "

Lin Xia accepted his reason, but there were also new problems.

"Since you want to team up with Neville, and Neville is my teammate, Neville should be the one to tell me, not you.

As long as he says he wants to end his relationship with my Potions partner, I won't stop him. "

Neville, who was not far away, heard what Lin Xia said, and his originally uneasy expression suddenly became determined.

He walked over quickly and said loudly: "No, I won't let you go. If I become your partner, I can learn more!"

Mikel frowned and said, "Neville, I thought I had reached a consensus with you on this matter."

Neville retorted: "You just told me that we could form a team as a research partner. I agreed, but you didn't say that you wanted me to turn down my partner in Potions class." Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little tense, Lin Xia suddenly interjected. : "It seems that you still have many unresolved questions, but they can be discussed after class. Now hurry up and get back to your seats and prepare for class. Professor Snape is coming!"

The potion made this time.

Still making the "Forgetting Potion" from last time.

The difficulty of "Forgetting Potion" is not high, but it is not low either. What Snape said last time was to scare the little wizard after all.

It is too difficult to complete the making of the Forgetting Potion in two lessons.

When many little wizards were busy making work, Professor Snape said like a charity:

"We will continue making forgetting potions in the next class. You are the worst class I have ever taught. None of the previous classes were as stupid as you."

Ron whispered to Harry quietly: "Both of my brothers have said this to me.

It is said that Professor Snape always likes to use 'the worst' and 'the most rubbish' as ​​his catchphrases. "

Professor Snape's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them, with a unique arrogant and indifferent tone.

"I didn't expect that the Weasley family paid so much attention to me. Should I still feel honored and lucky that Madam didn't send me a roaring letter?"

Snape then said: "Gryffindor is not paying attention in class, one point will be deducted!"

Ron slapped his mouth. If he had known this, he shouldn't have mentioned this!
Until the end of the Potions class, Ron was still muttering about Professor Snape's pettiness.

He turned around and found that Lin Xia was not there, only Draco.

"Hey, where is Lin Xia?" he asked.

Draco replied: "Professor Snape asked Lin Xia to stay alone. There should be other things to talk about."

Lin Xia and Snape were having a serious conversation in the dark, gloomy Potions classroom with many animal carcasses placed there.

Snape asked: "I remember you came to me before and said that you suspected that you had found the entrance to the secret room. How did you find it? Where is the entrance?"

At this time, Lin Xia already knew how difficult it was to reverse fate.

I didn’t know it clearly before, so I wanted to seek outside help.

Now that it was clear, Lin Xia changed her mind.

Rather than taking the initiative to intervene now, it is better to be a silent spectator on the sidelines.

The audience just needs to show up at the right time.

Lin Xia said: "Professor, I said that casually. Then I went to the bathroom and found nothing. I must have seen it wrong."

Professor Snape didn't believe her.

In his eyes, Lin Xia must have a certain degree of confidence before she chose to speak out.

He said seriously: "Lin Xia, the clues you have may be the source of all the recent abnormal events in Hogwarts. Rather than hiding them, it is better to tell them all."

Lin Xia also looked calm and said calmly: "Professor, if I find anything, I will tell you.

But I can't just say that I have discovered something instead of not discovering it, and make your trip go in vain.

Besides, you checked that bathroom yourself. Instead of asking me, why not check the bathroom again to see if you missed something before and overlooked some clues. "

Professor Snape said righteously: "That is Slytherin's secret room. How could it be placed in a place like the bathroom? I don't even think it's possible!"

Lin Xia shrugged and emphasized again: "I don't know anything, professor."

People are always confused by appearances and ignore the essence.

Who says secret rooms have to be hidden in the bathroom?

Couldn't it be that there is a passage from the bathroom to the secret room?
Lin Xia was afraid that if she revealed too much, it would cause many "world line changes" as mentioned in Mikel's diary, and she didn't know how many tragedies would happen by then.

So she still insists on not knowing.

Saying goodbye to Professor Snape, she hurried off to her next Transfiguration class.

Professor McGonagall has turned into a cat and is waiting on the classroom podium.

As soon as Lin Xia walked in, the class bell rang.

Professor McGonagall said: "Today, we are going to turn a small creature into a goblet. Come on, follow me and recite the spell and watch my movements..."

This kind of transformation spell is no problem for Lin Xia, Hermione and Draco.

Lin Xia can transform even large beasts, while Hermione and Draco's transformation spells are comparable to those of fourth grade students.

After Ron studied magic texts and alchemy knowledge in the laboratory, he felt that he had developed a lot. This time he transformed, he was extremely confident.

He spoke the incantation, and a flash of magic shot from his wand.

The next second, a mouse was transformed into an exquisite goblet!
When the other little wizards saw this scene, they couldn't help but scream in surprise.

It wouldn't be surprising if Lin Xia and others couldn't do it, but this is Ron!

Ron had fallen far behind on his Transfiguration course last term.

This semester has progressed by leaps and bounds in a way that no one could have imagined.

Ron said excitedly: "Harry, come and try, come on!"

Harry also plucked up the courage to try Transfiguration, and the next second, the white mouse also turned into a goblet!

Harry said happily: "Ron, have our transfiguration talents been improved?"

He had never been able to transform so smoothly before!
Ron: "It should be. Sure enough, it is absolutely right to go to Lin Xia's laboratory to help!"

If you can be a good student, who wants to be a poor student?

Professor McGonagall looked on and nodded with satisfaction: "Gryffindor +10 points, Ron and Harry, if you work hard, you may be able to go further in Transfiguration."

At this moment, Hermione asked a question in front of everyone.

"Professor McGonagall, I have checked countless information, including books introducing Hogwarts like A History of the School.

But no matter how I investigate, I can't find [Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets]. What's in the Chamber of Secrets? "

Lin Xia looked up at Mag's professor's reaction.

Unexpectedly, the professor was extremely calm and showed no signs of panic.

Professor McGonagall thought for a while and said: "Even if you don't mention it, I plan to tell you that the so-called [Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets] is related to the founder Salazar Slytherin...

He eventually left Hogwarts due to disagreements with his ideas, and his Chamber of Secrets was sealed away. "

Hermione asked: "So, even you don't know what is trapped in the Chamber of Secrets. Is there anything scary?"

Professor McGonagall said: "Perhaps the principal will know, but even the principal cannot know all the secrets of Hogwarts.

This castle has existed for more than a thousand years, and many unexplainable phenomena occur every day. "

"Ding-dong-"

The melodious bell rang, and the get out of class on Transfiguration was over.
