Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 274 The truth back then was that he was afraid of me!

The professors of Hogwarts launched a fierce chase against the escaping dark wizards.

These battles involve the constant use of spells and the breaking of spells, and are an art of exquisite collision and resolution.

Whoever uses the spell more skillfully, whoever has more mature skills in wielding the spell, and whoever can use more efficient spells in the same amount of time will win.

For high-level wizards like them, the number of spells is no longer a factor that determines the success of a battle.

No matter how many there are, if the spells used are of little power or have no effect, it will be useless.

Instead of wasting time on ineffective spells, it is better to spend more time on capturing high schools.

Of course, this is a battle against high-level wizards.

For low- and mid-level wizards, once the number of spells increases, they can also have a great effect. After all, if there are many ants, they can kill an elephant.

Low-level and mid-level wizards are limited by their combat experience and may not be able to solve every spell perfectly.

Once you get flustered and the rhythm of the battle is wrong, you will only be defeated.

I originally thought that the professors of Hogwarts would have the upper hand, but I didn’t expect that this group of dark wizards were very experienced, as if they had gone through many battles.

Their strength is no worse than that of the professor, and the power of the spells they master is more powerful than ordinary spells.

This forced the professor to constantly fight back with Defense Against the Dark Arts.

In this chase, Professor Snape showed great strength. He chased two dark wizards by himself and held them back.

Suddenly, a dark wizard who was fed up with his pestering took off his hood and turned to look at Snape.

Her scarlet lips grinned, her eyes were full of mockery, her lips moved, and she uttered a few words silently.

——Don’t forget your identity, the mole.

The broom controlled by Snape suddenly stopped.

His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. That man was clearly still imprisoned in Azkaban, so how did he get out early?
Before he could think about it, other professors flew over one after another and gathered in this area.

Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "I originally hunted down a dark wizard, but suddenly a few dark wizards came from other places. They worked together inside and outside to rescue the dark wizard."

Other professors said: "They used a lot of dark magic, and I could only defend myself but not fight back."

At this time, a professor flew over, covering his arm with a look of pain on his face:

"Who brought the recovery potion? My hand was accidentally broken!"

The professors looked over and found that this professor was doing clerical work in the school and was not responsible for teaching.

If the school was short of manpower for this operation, he would not have been called over.

When McGonagall was taking action, what she was most worried about was this professor, but she didn't expect that something really happened.

Snape came to his senses, took out a bottle of recovery potion from the Traceless Retractable Ring and threw it to the professor with the broken arm.

"I brought it, just take it directly."

The other professors quickly helped to fix his arm. After the professor drank the recovery potion, his face instantly became extremely ugly.

He was originally sweating profusely and his face was flushed, but suddenly it turned pale and a little blue.

He opened his lips slightly, wanting to roar: This potion is so unpalatable!

But when he met Snape's cold and mocking eyes, he had to swallow his words back.

Although it tastes bad, the effect is really good.

After a while, the broken arm was reconnected and everything returned to normal.

Professor McGonagall was about to return to Hogwarts when suddenly her ears moved slightly and she looked up at the sky.

Receiving some kind of call from the depths of the sky, Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and a curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of these professors.

I saw a line of words written on the screen.

【Come to the forest quickly——Dumbledore】

When the other professors saw this, they all felt a little terrified.

Dumbledore rarely used this method to call them over.

But once it is used, it means the situation is very urgent.

The professors looked at each other with serious expressions. Perhaps Dumbledore had discovered the Dark Lord's trace.

Without thinking, Snape took out several bottles of red potion from his Retractable Ring and threw them to the other professors one by one.

“This is a berserk potion. After taking it, your strength can explode to twice the normal level and last for half an hour.

After half an hour, your body will be extremely weak, and even an ordinary creature can kill you."

He paused, and instead of reminding people to take it with caution, he sneered, "I don't want to end up in the forest looking for your bodies."

The destructive power of this sentence is more powerful than ordinary words of exhortation.

the other side.

Here, Harry, they were communicating well with Aragog.

Aragog was angry when he learned that Hagrid was taken to Azkaban:
"Hagrid is the kindest person I have ever met. He can't even bear to step on a mouse to death. If he does, he will hold a funeral for the mouse. He shouldn't be imprisoned in Azkaban!"

Harry took a deep breath and said, "I don't believe Hagrid would do this, but the people from the Ministry of Magic took Hagrid away, saying that he had released a creature decades ago and that the creature killed a person."

Aragog waved his claws angrily.

This action was responded to by a large group of spiders in the depression, and they also waved their claws and made a clicking sound.

It sounded like applause.

Harry and the others were a little nervous. Being surrounded by so many spiders, even though there didn't seem to be any danger, they were still scared.

Especially these spiders started to riot.

"But that was many years ago," Aragog said irritably, "many, many years ago, and I remember it very well, and they forced him to leave school because of it.

They thought I was the monster that lived in what they called the Chamber of Secrets, and they thought Hagrid had opened it and let me out."

A cold sweat broke out on Harry's forehead. "So you... you didn't come out of the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Me!" said Aragog, his claws clicking angrily.

"Of course not. I wasn't born in a castle. I came from a faraway country, but a traveler gave me to Hagrid before I was hatched from an egg.

Hagrid was only a child at the time, but he took care of me, hiding me in a cupboard in the castle and feeding me crumbs from the dinner table.

Hagrid is my good friend, he is a good man.

He protected me when people were putting the blame on me and holding me responsible for a girl's death.

Since then, I have been living in this forest. Hagrid often comes to see me. He even found me a wife, Mosag. You can see how prosperous our family is. It is all thanks to Hagrid. "It may be that Aragog thinks Hagrid is a good person and admits that Hagrid is his good friend, which makes Harry muster up a little courage to ask:

"So y-you've never attacked anyone?"

"No," Aragog said bitterly, "I have that instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt anyone.

The girl's body was found in a bathroom, and I never went anywhere in the castle except into my big cupboard. We spiders like darkness and silence."

Hermione couldn't help asking, "Do you know what killed that girl? Why do people put the blame on you?"

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound, countless long legs were moving, and huge black shadows were swaying around the four people.

"That creature that lives in the castle is one of the ancient creatures that we spiders fear the most," said Aragog. "I remember well begging Hagrid to let me go when I sensed the beast moving about the school."

Draco couldn't help but ask: "What is that?"

"We won't tell!" Aragog said angrily. "I didn't even tell Hagrid, even though he asked me many times!"

Ron said speechlessly: "It was because you didn't dare to speak that Hagrid was expelled from school.

Hagrid treated you as a friend, but you harmed Hagrid. If you are willing to tell him, you can clear Hagrid's name!"

Harry stopped Ron and told him to stop talking.

He felt something was wrong around him, and the spiders began to slowly move towards them, inch by inch.

And Aragog was also slowly retreating, back into his hemispherical spider web.

"We're leaving now," Harry said.

Aragog said slowly at this time: "My children obeyed my orders and did not hurt Hagrid, but fresh human flesh came to their door automatically, and I could not stop them from enjoying it. Farewell, Hagrid's friend..."

The situation took a sudden turn!

A few steps away, not far away, the spiders formed a vertical and towering iron wall.

The claws made a clattering sound, and many pairs of eyes sparkled on that ugly black head...

Harry's heart was pounding and he clutched his wand tightly.

What kind of magic does he have to use to survive these spiders?
Why did he come here so impulsively, dragging several friends into the water? He should be calm, even calmer...

Just as the spiders seemed to be about to rush over, two words suddenly uttered from Hermione's mouth: "Bassilisk!"

These two words seemed to contain an invisible and powerful magic, which frightened the spiders so much that they dared not move and their bodies became stiff!
Even Hermione didn't expect that the effect of the "Basilisk" would be so good.

Right.

Aragog would rather Hagrid be expelled from school than reveal this creature, which shows how much they fear the basilisk.

Hermione grabbed their hands and said, "Run!"

The group quickly got out of the depression and ran in the direction where the magic car was stuck in the thorns.

A high-pitched and long voice suddenly rang out around, and several dazzling rays of light illuminated the entire depression.

It's the magic car!
The flying cars got rid of the thorns and stopped in front of them. They only got on one flying car and put the other one away.

Draco couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after he drove the flying car into the sky.

Harry couldn't help but turn his head to look at the depression and was shocked.

The group of spiders did not chase after them, they still maintained their stiff posture.

Harry had a feeling that if they encountered a creature that could eat spiders at this time, this group of spiders would be finished.

Ron also saw this scene and couldn't help asking, "Is the basilisk so scary? Those spiders were so scared that they were frozen and they haven't recovered yet!"

Among the group, only Hermione had the most say because she had fought a basilisk before, even with her eyes closed.

Hermione said seriously, "It's very scary. It has unparalleled strength. Before it even got close to me, I felt a strong pressure. I couldn't breathe in front of it.

I can tell you with certainty that if Lin Xia hadn’t been there, I would have turned into a stone statue like Madam Pince. I wouldn’t even have been able to react!”

Harry: "That sounds terrible."

"But I'm not exaggerating," said Hermione.

While they were returning to school, there was also new progress on Lin Xia's side.

As he finished reading one banned book after another, Lin Xia felt that his database was filled with a lot of knowledge related to the origin of wizards.

This knowledge can be combined with her practice system from her previous life to create a practice path that is a bit like the wizarding world, but different.

She read books like crazy because she knew this opportunity was rare.

If I want to read so much next time, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the place of chaos and disorder that Professor McGonagall mentioned.

The danger level of such a place must be more terrifying than it is now.

Just as Lin Xia was immersed in the book, the compass of fate in her mind suddenly started to turn and stopped at the "Fuqi" column.

The hint given is just a line of text.

[The professor is about to return to Hogwarts]
This line of text was like a bucket of cold water that poured into Lin Xia's consciousness, instantly making her sober and breaking away from her frenetic reading state.

She raised her head and glanced around, realizing that the darkness nearby was very close to him.

Before reading the banned book, her surroundings were bright and the view outside the window was also beautiful.

When I looked out the window, I didn't know when it had become blurry and distorted.

Fresh blood and old blood were mixed together, and there were broken limbs and arms. It was a chaotic, indescribable weirdness.

Just looking at it for a while makes me feel uncomfortable.

Lin Xia looked at the banned book with some reluctance, but decisively closed it the next second.

Can't delay any longer!

Greed and desire are the source of destruction.

Lin Xia turned around and was about to leave this space, but when she was about to leave, she thought of something and turned to look at the darkness nearby.

"Get out of here!" she suddenly leaned into the darkness and said angrily.

The darkness retreated a few steps in a very humane manner.

This darkness is essentially black mist. After it dissipates a little, light comes again.

Lin Xia suddenly smiled brightly.

"So you are afraid of me!"
