Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 254 Hermione's request, Lin Xia's return to Hogwarts, the magical prerequisites of Weird Medicine

Ron's words broke Hermione's defense again.

Hermione really couldn't stand her cat ears, cat tail, and the furry cat hair on her arms!

So she couldn't help but take off all the cat hair on her body.

She originally thought that doing so would make her feel better, but it turned out to be counterproductive.

By the second day, just one night had passed.

The cat hair that had been shaved off grew back at an amazing speed and was thicker than before!

When Hermione saw this scene, she couldn't help but cover her face and screamed.

Madam Pomfrey had been treating her the whole time. When she saw this scene the next day, she couldn't bear to watch it and kept telling Hermione not to be impulsive.

Although she had never treated a case of someone accidentally taking Polyjuice Potion and becoming an animal during her career.

But she believed that she could definitely cure Hermione.

If that doesn't work, transfer her to St. Gomans.

In fact, she has recently reconnected with her former intern colleagues at St. Gomans, hoping to get treatment from them.

Ron and Harry comforted Hermione for a long time before Hermione was willing to stick her head out from under the quilt.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her cat ears looked a little bigger than before against the fluffy hair.

Hermione sobbed sadly: "I must find a solution as soon as possible. The day to go back to school is not far away, and I can't miss school classes."

Ron's mouth twitched.

Even in this state, she is still thinking about going to school.

Should I say it or not? Is this the attitude of a top student?
Put learning above life and death!
Harry said worriedly, "Hermione, your most urgent task now is to heal your body. As for the solution, Ron and I will go to the library to help you find it."

Hermione asked: "Last time I heard you say that Draco wrote to the elders of the family, seeking a way to cure me. Is there any result now?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, a little hesitant.

They also don't know whether obtaining the formula materials can be considered a result.

Harry spoke truthfully, and Ron expressed his concern.

"After all, we don't know how powerful Weird Medicine is, and Draco has never used Weird Medicine to make a potion before. I don't think we can put our hopes on it."

Harry nodded in agreement.

Hermione said in a tearful voice: "I have to go to the library, but how can I go in my current state?"

They are not the only holdovers at Hogwarts.

There are students from different grades staying.

The library is open throughout the holiday, and many students go there to study.

There is absolutely no way to hide her appearance!
She didn't want others to know that she had transformed into a cat-eared girl. She would definitely be laughed at by other little wizards, absolutely!

After visiting Hermione, Harry and Ron ran to the library.

While they were looking for a solution, they were also thinking about how to let Hermione sneak into the library without being discovered by other young wizards.

Especially in the past few days, they also saw a disgusting existence in the library - Gries.

They had never seen him in the library before, but these past few days, Grace had taken the initiative to appear in front of them and tried his best to talk to them.

Although every conversation ended in a bad mood.

Greg took the initiative to provoke Harry every time, belittling him for having the Parseltongue of a Slytherin but associating with the corrupt Gryffindor and becoming friends with the poor youngest son of Weasley, saying that he had no taste at all.

Harry just felt that this person was like a mosquito, buzzing around his ears.

He sometimes thought he had too good a temper.

If he could shout back loudly and see the incredulous face of Grace, perhaps he would feel a little relieved.

In the library.

Ron pushed the book away irritably and put his hand to his forehead in distress.

"Harry, I think we're using the wrong method. Finding information from books has never been our strong point.

The efficiency of the two of us may not be as good as Hermione's one-hour search. We should find a way to help her get to the library."

Harry suggested an idea, "How about using an invisibility spell so no one can see her?"

Ron thought about it and felt uneasy.

"Too many people know the counter-spell to the Invisibility Spell. And if you look around, all of them are senior wizards. I think Hermione will be easily spotted."

Harry wondered, besides the Invisibility Charm, what other spells could achieve the effect of invisibility?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Yes, there is also an invisibility cloak!

But he had previously lent the Invisibility Cloak to the Weasley twins.

Harry ran out of the library immediately. He wanted to write to George and Fred to ask about the whereabouts of the Invisibility Cloak.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Forbidden Forest.

Lin Xia swam continuously through the underground river. Whenever she encountered a place with a lot of gravel, she would use a shovel to clear a path, as long as it allowed her to pass through.

Thanks to her strong physique, she swam with a shovel while holding her breath...

After an unknown amount of time, she finally saw a glimmer of light somewhere on the river.

Lin Xia immediately swam upstream towards the bright light.

While swimming, she also saw the diversity of underwater life.

Among them, there are many fish that are more ferocious than those seen in the lake before.

Lin Xia was already holding her breath to prevent her breath from leaking out, and she carefully covered her body with seaweed.

Her size is completely negligible to those big fish.

Plus, she didn't show any malicious intent, so she was able to swim out safely.

While Lin Xia was swimming quickly towards the light.

Suddenly at some point, she felt a terrifying breath.

This aura is like a weak creature trembling uncontrollably when facing a powerful creature.

Lin Xia's heart tensed up, and a thought flashed wildly in her mind -

Escape, you must escape quickly!
Her whole body was tense, and she swam upwards like a swift fish, several points faster than before!

Where on earth had she come to and why was this lake so terrifying?
And Lin Xia could feel that terrifying aura getting closer and closer to her...

At this moment, she suddenly realized that being too sensitive also has its disadvantages.

That is, when there is great danger, her thinking will be more easily affected.

Being calm can hardly suppress the feeling of fear!

Finally, Lin Xia jumped out of the lake and immediately felt the abundant magical power outside.

She didn't even have time to observe where she was. She took out her wand and waved it forward: "Fly fast!"

With a whoosh, her body leaped forward again!

When the sense of crisis in her mind was no longer so strong, Lin Xia had time to glance at the surrounding environment and subconsciously looked back at the lake she jumped out of.

She suddenly realized that she had come out of the Forbidden Forest and arrived at the Black Lake near Hogwarts.

And now she was fleeing towards the lawn. Lin Xia used the supersensory spell, so that even if she was far away, she could still see the black lake in the distance.

She discovered that there was a darker shadow in the Black Lake, which made the already dark surface of the lake even darker.

Many tiny bubbles began to appear on the surface of the lake, and the water seemed to be boiling.

Then, tentacles stretched out from the lake, only slightly exposed, not too much to the air.

This behavior is very much like some giant creature coming out for a long time to breathe, bask in the rare sunshine, and relax.

Such a huge black shadow...

Lin Xia frowned. When did such a terrifying existence appear in Hogwarts?
Was it my previous self whose perception had not yet reached the point where I could discover it?

Lin Xia suddenly thought of her first year at Hogwarts.

A student asked Hagrid why they didn't follow tradition by boat into the school, and the Black Lake in the school disappeared.

She still remembered that the student who asked the question was Mikel.

Hagrid said at the time that this method of admission to the school was reformed a few years ago, and the Black Lake was moved to the rear of the school.

Later, when her relationship with Hagrid became better, Hagrid casually mentioned that there were many magical marine creatures in the Black Lake, and they existed even older than the school.

The largest of these creatures is the giant octopus, which has existed for no one knows how many years.

Hagrid suspected that the Black Lake was moved behind the school by the giant octopus.

So the dark shadow lurking beneath the lake is the giant octopus that Hagrid mentioned?
Lin Xia's eyes narrowed slightly. As expected, the longer a creature exists, the more unfathomable its combat power becomes.

Never underestimate any magical creature with a long lifespan!
No one knows how deep its background is or how thick its health bar is.

Lin Xia used rapid flight and rushed all the way to the gate of Hogwarts before stopping.

She quickly walked into the school and returned to the golden wooden house instead of going to the laboratory.

Her body has undergone many changes.

She needs to check it carefully, inside and out.

At the same time, Lin Xia also felt that "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records: The Crucible" had also undergone significant changes.

same moment.

Draco was in the laboratory, observing the potion materials given by Aunt Bella.

He picked up some magic plants with his hands unconsciously, muttering to himself: "Snail tentacles, daffodil juice, a ray of morning sunshine..."

This was Draco's first time using Trickery, and he was a little nervous.

This strange alchemy is actually very different from traditional alchemy.

Draco could understand it, to some extent.

Why is it that although weird medicine has such magical effects, it has been abandoned in the long history of potion development?

First, the requirements for inheritance are too high.

The other is the conditions for brewing potions, which are a bit too weird, worthy of the name of weird pharmacy.

Take the "first ray of sunlight in the morning" for example, how do we collect it?
It's impossible for him to wait until early morning to start preparing the potion.

This "first ray of sunshine in the morning" was not the recipe provided by Aunt Bella, but a prerequisite for the success of his strange pharmacy.

Rather than being a discipline, pharmacy is more of a skill in preparing potions.

It melts magically into every recipe!
And each time you use the art of alchemy to prepare a potion, the required prerequisites are different.

As for which prerequisite to use, it depends on his fortune on that day and the telepathy connected to the strange medicine, and then the prerequisite will naturally emerge in his heart.

In other words, the prerequisites for strange pharmacy cannot be fixed!
Even if you want to prepare a potion, if your condition is not right, or your luck is not right, and the prerequisites have not emerged in your mind, then you will not be able to use the preparation skills of strange medicine.

This is such a metaphysical inheritance.

Draco was surprised to find that he could learn it.

After thinking about it, it was all thanks to that banned book.

If it weren't for that banned book as an introduction, he probably wouldn't have been able to learn the art of strange medicine.

In addition to the fact that the prerequisites of strange medicine are very mysterious and change all the time, other conditions will suddenly emerge during the configuration process.

But there is one good thing about weird pharmacy.

It can skip many steps of potion preparation and simplify things!

It can even skip the necessary materials for configuration and disrupt the configuration method.

For Draco, who only has the potion formula, weird pharmacy is the best hope to prepare a rescue potion.

Draco stared at the ingredients on the recipe.

He decided not to use the prerequisite of "the first ray of sunshine in the morning", but to skip this step and practice with the method of weird pharmacy.

Without the necessary preparations, this potion configuration is doomed to fail, but it will increase proficiency.

"Cook the snails, remove the tentacles, and add 50ml of herbal juice."

These steps came to his mind naturally after he saw the recipe.

As one creative idea after another pops up, the science of strange medicine has already begun.

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

She used various instruments, as well as the black iron stone that she usually used to test her strength, to test various data of her body one by one.

The conclusions drawn are extremely shocking!
This time the enhancement is an all-round enhancement, which is more than three times stronger than the previous physical data.

At the same time, Lin Xia activated the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records: The Crucible" and found that she was only one step away from the Black Iron Realm.

And at this step, it was not that her body could not keep up, but her martial arts skills could not keep up.

During the days she was buried underground, she figured out that if she wanted to advance to the next level, she had to first develop the following techniques.

If the skills of the Xuan Dian realm were not deduced, her advancement would be hindered, and she was afraid that the consequences of failure would be unbearable.

Lin Xia fell into deep thought.

She had a hunch that the opportunity for a breakthrough lay in the banned book!
So next, she will devote all her energy to reading banned books.

In addition to improving his physical fitness, Lin Xia also found that his understanding of magic runes had made a leap forward.

Runes are complex.

The wizarding world has counted 108 basic runes alone.

It is said that there are still many basic magic runes that have not been discovered, waiting for wizards to dig them out.

The magic rune array is a complex combination of magic runes that are constantly arranged, combined, twisted and deformed based on these basic magic runes.

Therefore, the magic rune array itself is a secondary use of magic runes.

She had only memorized ten basic runes before.

It's not that she is lazy, but even though the basic magic runes are simple, they are also very complicated.

Her brain couldn't handle so many memories, so she could only process them bit by bit.

Just these ten have already made Professor Babel praise her for her good talent.

Judging from Professor Babel's speaking style, her talent is probably really good, which is difficult for ordinary people to possess.
