Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 257: Re-entering the Restricted Area, Hermione's Fantastic Ideas

After Lin Xia finished communicating with Tom, she closed the diary.

There are some things that he needs to figure out on his own.

She didn't know how many Horcruxes Voldemort had, but Lin Xia thought that young Tom was the easiest to turn against.

During this period, he was full of vitality, had great ideals and ambitions, and had a pure love for exploring the dark arts.

He doesn't necessarily have to use these powers to do anything, maybe he just wants to make use of his talents and not let them go to waste.

Moreover, he was still a student, and Dumbledore was watching him. Even if he had evil intentions, at most he would only cause the death of a girl and cause an innocent student to drop out of school.

During this period, he still attached great importance to Hogwarts and did not commit the crime of massacring thousands of wizards in the future.

In addition, she believed that Voldemort was an ambitious man.

Whether he was old or young, he had great ideals and ambitions.

Such an ambitious person, if he encounters the opportunity, will definitely not be willing to be confined by a small spirit body.

So Lin Xia was not worried at all that Tom would reject her proposal.

Its struggle at this moment is simply because it has not figured things out yet and does not trust itself.

Once it makes up its mind to break away from the diary, that's when it's time for its second rebirth.

It was a spirit that was born from Voldemort, but was completely free from Voldemort's control and was even a transcendent being that could guess his future actions.

Lin Xia returned to the golden wooden house and opened her outstanding student key plate.

Since the upgrade of permissions, her research identity has changed from [Knowledge Seeker] to [Knower], and her permissions have also reached 3.0 permissions.

With this authority, she can enjoy more discounts when purchasing many experimental materials.

But the most important thing is knowledge, which is priceless.

Lin Xia turned her attention to the number of banned books that could be read. Her top priority at the moment was to read a large number of banned books.

[You can receive a physical banned book within a limited range every two months. Currently, you can receive 0/2 books.]
Lin Xia immediately clicked on the banned book interface and applied to read it.

One could only apply for the banned book reading permit once, and not long after submitting it, her banned book reading permit was approved.

After passing it, she didn't waste any time and immediately claimed another benefit of reading banned books online.

[You can get a banned book within a limited range every month, read online 0/4]
Lin Xia immediately redeemed the online reading rights, and the secret key panel opened a mysterious reading area to her.

Her mind sank as she browsed through the online reading versions of countless banned books.

After a while, she found the books that interested her.

How to use external objects to improve magic control

Isn't the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records: The Furnace Method" that she practiced also a kind of external object?
Lin Xia spent most of the night reading.

The next morning, she ran around the contract and went to the auditorium for breakfast.

Hermione was already there, chatting and laughing with Ron and Harry, and offering Draco some weird potion advice.

As soon as they saw her coming, their eyes lit up and they asked Lin Xia for advice.

Draco said helplessly: "Hermione believes that everything in Weird Medicine is based on metaphysics, so she told me not to be so nervous about configuring it.

Maybe when I am in a relaxed state, I can easily prepare the rescue potion, but now I don’t even know how to achieve the first step prerequisite. "

Hermione said confidently: "Since all the premises of Weird Medicine are based on metaphysics, then where does metaphysics come from?

Isn’t it from your own fortune? And where does your own fortune come from?
I have read a divination book which said that fortune is often the power of the mind.

The stronger your mind is and the more intense your faith is, the more you can make anything you want come true.”

Lin Xia understood.

Draco believed that the strange medicine could not be controlled when it was activated.

But Hermione believed that as long as Draco remained strong, he would be able to control some of the outrageous conditions of the Weird Pharmacology to a certain extent.

Lin Xia thought for a while and sided with Hermione. "I think Hermione is right."

Draco didn't believe it: "Aren't you the one among us who likes metaphysics the most and believes in it the most? Do you think metaphysics can be manipulated?"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Draco, metaphysics is like luck, and luck is something that is indeed uncontrollable.

Even if you take the Felix potion, it will only make your senses more acute and make you better at dealing with people."

"But," she changed the subject, "the more powerful a person is, the better their luck is. Isn't this a disguised form of control?
So I think that since strange medicine is related to your thoughts and fortune, you can influence it to a certain extent.

Only when you have complete control over the skill can you use it. If you cannot control it, you will only become its slave. "

Lin Xia paused and said meaningfully: "This is actually a very dangerous thing."

Draco felt that what Lin Xia said was not what he thought.

She seemed to be hinting at something.

Lin Xia's voice continued: "But because you have just learned this skill and have not experienced actual combat, you cannot grasp the degree of it.

I agree with Hermione's idea. When you are very skilled in using strange medicine, you should be able to control the conditions given by strange medicine."

Lin Xia didn't think Draco couldn't do it.

His talent for potions was actually very good, on par with hers.

She looked more powerful, but they were just good at handling potions in different ways.

She was good at innovation, while Draco was good at controlling details.

In the field of potions, innovation is important, but meticulous operation is equally important; both are indispensable.

Draco was convinced: "I will try my best, but first I have to complete the prerequisites."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "What are the prerequisites for you to use Weird Pharmacy today?"

Draco said helplessly: "It has to let a parrot stare at me while I do the experiment, and every 10 minutes it has to say to me: You are the most talented potion master!"

Lin Xia:......

Does weird pharmacy have a bad taste?

It is not difficult for a parrot to imitate human speech, but it is a bit difficult to make a parrot say this sentence every 10 minutes!

Time passed quickly and it was noon.

Lin Xia had an appointment with the professor to read the banned book in the afternoon, so she went to the auditorium for lunch as usual.

Harry received a letter from the Weasley twins.

As soon as I opened it, I heard Ron's loud voice of regret.

Harry turned around and saw Ron also reading the letter, patting the table with his hands, looking very angry.

Harry quickly scanned the contents of the envelope and asked as he read, "What's wrong?"

Ron said angrily, "My parents took my brother and Ginny on a trip, and I was left behind!"

Harry: "Well, it's tragic."

After reading the contents of the letter, Harry couldn't help but look up at Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was also looking at the envelope, and there were some things sent in the envelope.

Harry couldn't help asking, "Lin Xia, Senior George and Senior Fred told me that I have something with you, is that right?"

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly, and she instantly understood what Harry was referring to.

She nodded and said, "Yes, the Weasley twins once used your things to sneak out for a night stroll during curfew, and I caught them, so I confiscated the magical item.

Do you want to take it back? I'll give it to you tonight."

Harry wanted to say no, he wanted the invisibility cloak because he wanted to help Hermione.

But now, thanks to the camouflage spell, Hermione was already walking in public, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly changed his words.

"Yeah, yes, I'm going to use it."

Harry actually didn't know what he was going to use it for, but he just had this intuition -

He might need this thing soon.

Ron beside him opened the second letter and suddenly let out another scream.

The scream was so terrible that all the students who stayed on campus could hear it.

Ron covered his head in disbelief: "How could they do this? They treated me so cruelly!"

Draco asked curiously, "Did you receive a threatening letter?"

Ron looked like he was about to cry: "This is more terrifying than receiving a threatening letter. My parents said that because of this sudden trip, they used up all the liquid assets in the family.

They asked me to find a way to solve the living expenses problem for the second half of the semester. I really don’t know what to say... There are only ten days left before the end of the vacation. Where can I get gold galleons? "

Suddenly, everyone thought of one person and said in unison:
"You can ask Hagrid for help. He needs help cleaning up there!"

Ron's face turned even uglier. Hagrid... did need someone.

But all the work is picking up manure!
In the afternoon, Lin Xia came to the banned books section of the library.

Professor McGonagall and Dean Sprout were already waiting there.

Lin Xia greeted the two professors.

Professor McGonagall reiterated solemnly: "Lin Xia, you have read a physical banned book once. You know the dangers of the banned book area better than us.

If you are faced with a situation that cannot be resisted, quickly shake the kerosene lamp in your hand, take the leaves of clarity, and call my name or Sprout's name.

Once we sense it, we will come to rescue you immediately. But if you don't have time to call, it doesn't matter, we will always keep an eye on your condition in secret."

Lin Xia nodded: "Professor, I understand."

She took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and entered a very different vision.

This time, the experience of entering the forbidden book was different from the last time.

But one thing that is certain is that the real restricted area is located in the other world, which is where McGonagall taught her the first Transfiguration.

Lin Xia could feel a sense of familiarity in her body. This place had the same atmosphere as the other world.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia couldn't help but wave his magic wand and use transfiguration to create his own mirage.

The first time she came, she did not summon the mirage.

This time, Lin Xia thought about it and transformed the mirage worm.

Although the transformation process was somewhat difficult and far from as easy as in the outside world, it still happened in the end.

With the mirage by her side, Lin Xia felt that there was a faint voice in the forbidden book area calling her, as if leading her to read.

On the other side, the outside world.

McGonagall and Sprout sat aside, took out the crystal ball, and observed Lin Xia in the restricted area.

Sprout said, "McGonagall, you've returned to England for vacation. You don't have to come. I can keep an eye on it by myself."

McGonagall shook her head and said, "Forget it. Originally, young wizards were required to be accompanied by two professors when reading banned books.

Everyone else was busy, but I had nothing to do, so I decided to go back to Hogwarts early, and there were only 10 days left before the end of the holiday. "

Sprout looked at Lin Xia in the crystal ball and asked doubtfully, "I feel like she's attracted to something. What do you think?"

Mag looked at the crystal ball and observed it for a while. She nodded.

"Yes, she seemed to have a clear goal this time. She didn't even look at the creatures around her, but just moved forward firmly in one direction."

However, as they watched, a thick mist suddenly appeared in the crystal ball.

This allowed them to only vaguely see Lin Xia, but not see what specifically she was looking for.

Sprout frowned, "What's going on? Do we need to go in immediately?"

In addition to the crystal ball, they have other means to sense Lin Xia in the forbidden area.

The last time they didn’t bring the crystal ball, it was with this kind of sensing that they rescued Lin Xia before the space completely collapsed.

This time, the crystal ball was covered with mist. It wasn't that you couldn't see anything at all, but it made Lin Xia's figure vaguely visible.

Coupled with the sense in the two professors' hearts, they could clearly know that Lin Xia was safe now.

Mag hesitated for a moment and refused to go in right away.

"Let's wait a little longer. This might be a special phenomenon. Lin Xia is safe now. Let's observe for a while. After all, it's rare to be able to read physical books."

After the evil god invaded the world, he stole the authority of "knowledge" from the wizarding world.

As a result, every profound book will be deeply disturbed by the evil god's whispering while being read, and the wizard will fall into darkness.

The dark wizards in the past were self-degrading.

But half of the dark wizards nowadays have been led to corruption after being disturbed by the evil god's whispering.

Whenever Mag thought of this, she felt heartbroken.

Some of her students were extremely talented, but in pursuit of greater power, they ended up making deals with the devil.

On the other side, Lin Xia is in the restricted area.

She was embarking on an adventure.

This adventure was brought about by mirage worms.

Ever since she transformed the mirage worm, she felt a calling. This feeling was very familiar, so she followed this calling without hesitation.

But halfway through the journey, she discovered that the various animals and plants transformed by the banned books along the way suddenly went crazy!

All the banned books are attacking her!

Lin Xia was very surprised. Before she read the banned book, she thought it shouldn't be so offensive.

She waved her wand, dodging and counterattacking.

But the attacks of these forbidden books were continuous, as if they would never stop, and the magic power supplied to them was also endless.

Wait, magic?
Lin Xia activated the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records: The Crucible" and immediately realized the difference in the properties of the magic around him.

The magical attributes around her are all dream attributes, representing endless changes!
So this also means that she was actually under an illusion!

Lin Xia, who realized this, regained consciousness instantly and stared blankly at the lush tree not far from her.

This tree looks very different in the restricted books area.

She is very huge and full of vitality. She is not just a giant tree transformed from a banned book.

Every root on the tree and every leaf on every branch is actually a banned book.

If this tree could transform again, Lin Xia felt that it could transform into a huge bookcase with many banned books on it.

Unfortunately.

She didn't know what category this bookcase belonged to, she just had a hunch that all the banned books in the bookcase were related to each other.

After she saw through the illusion, the feeling of summoning also disappeared. Lin Xia thought that she might have reached the source.

After a moment's hesitation, she approached the tree and placed her hand on the rough trunk.

The next moment, she was pulled into a small wooden house, where a banned book was placed on the table.

Lin Xia had experience, so she didn't look around curiously, but quickly sat down on the chair.

She placed the kerosene lamp beside the book, secretly holding the Leaf of Sobriety in her hand, and began her second journey of reading banned books.

When Lin Xia was reading a book.

Mag and Sprout outside also sensed it at the same time.

Sprout was a little surprised: "She has only been in the restricted area for a few minutes, how could she find the banned book she wanted to read so quickly?"

Mag was also surprised, but when he thought about Lin Xia's reaction after she entered, he didn't find it strange anymore.

She said, "Lin Xia must have been called by a certain book. I think she has found that book."

Speaking of calling, Sprout thought of Draco who also came to read the banned book more than ten days ago.

Sprout asked: "Is it possible that the forbidden book that called Lin Xia can have a high degree of compatibility with Lin Xia?"

Professor McGonagall looked a little more serious.

She had read the entire report Draco had submitted and realized the impact the Society of Weird Alchemy had on current Alchemy studies.

So she immediately presented the report to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore instructed that all this should be kept secret, and at the same time, he gave Draco some help with medicine after the new semester started.

Just a high degree of fit allowed Draco to inherit the science of potions.

If Lin Xia can also achieve a high fit this time, what kind of inheritance will he get?
Mag was also secretly excited.

But she said calmly: "This situation is likely to result in high fit, but it is also possible that nothing will happen. We need to observe carefully."

On the other side, when Lin Xia was reading the banned book.

Hermione also made some novel gadgets in her own laboratory.

Maybe she was in cat-eared girl form at that time, so inspiration came to her.

She actually bypassed the huge limitation of the potion and by wearing certain items, she was able to trigger the camouflage effect attached to the items, thereby achieving camouflage in beast form!
With inspiration coming to her, she tinkered with it and a little gadget came out.

Hermione stared at the tie clip on the table and said excitedly:

"There's only one step left. As long as someone can verify the effect of the item and make careful adjustments, this item can be sold!

Who should I find? Who can do this experiment? It only takes a few minutes of his time. No, no, maybe one minute will be enough. "
