Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 278 Large-scale magic array detection, anomalies found
Draco didn't feel awkward for too long, as Ron took the initiative to step forward and answer for him.

“What business is it of yours which college he wants to go to?

You are not his parents, so why do you care which college he goes to?
And he was chosen by the Sorting Hat. You should ask the Sorting Hat. It's like someone asking you why you chose Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. That's weird."

Grace raised his eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly: "Then I will answer that I prefer the atmosphere of Slytherin - survival of the fittest.

Only the strong can survive in the wizarding world, and the weak are only fit to carry the shoes of the strong."

Greg didn't care about Ron's provocation at all.

So he was not angry at all, but answered calmly.

But that expression was as if he was looking at an ant. Being able to answer your question was already a charity given to you.

Delis looked at Draco again and said in an extremely indifferent manner:
"So, you look like a Slytherin, but your actual talent is mediocre. I feel so sad for your father, Lucius.

The Malfoy family has been aristocrats in the wizarding world for generations, and they are pure-blood aristocrats.

Unexpectedly, after being passed down to this day, the heir of the Malfoy family has fallen to the level of Hufflepuff.

If your ancestors knew you were such a jerk, they would probably jump out of their coffins and die with their eyes wide open. "

After Gries finished speaking, he turned and left, looking quite arrogant.

Ron was confused by his arrival.

He looked at the other friends and said in confusion, “So he came over to talk to me just to show off that he was chosen by Slytherin?
It's not like he's proud of being a Slytherin on the first day, why is he saying this in front of us? He must have taken the wrong medicine!"

Lin Xia's eyes flickered, and she seemed to understand Voldemort's current mentality.

She was not sure whether Voldemort had inherited Gris's original memories, but judging from the situation, he probably had not.

It seems that there are many limitations to transforming a living person into a Horcrux and replacing it.

Voldemort was only reborn in this body, which did not mean that he could obtain Greg's life experience over the past decade and his experience in exploring magic.

If you think this way, then the one who appeared before them was the real Voldemort, not Voldemort who had merged with Gris's memory.

The two returned to the Hufflepuff team, and Lin Xia was thinking about which period the Voldemort in Grace's body was from.

For some unknown reason, Lin Xia suddenly thought of Tom.

Voldemort controlled Grace's body, pretended to be polite, and spoke more elegantly, a bit like Tom when he was a student.

——On the surface, he appears to be a decent and elegant student union president, but secretly he is deep-minded, twisted and dark.

This is a ruthless person who decided to split his soul into Horcruxes when he was a student!

Based on this alone, Lin Xia had no idea how twisted his mind must be.

Soon, the professor called the Hufflepuff team over.

They came to a small door on the side of the auditorium.

In addition to the empty dining area, there are many doors in the corners of the auditorium.

If you don't open the door, you'll never know what's inside.

It could be a storage room for sundries, or a spacious classroom, or a small auditorium.

Some little wizards have said that they have encountered a situation where after opening the door, they found a dignified and majestic church.

The two went into the church and played around for a while, and saw Jesus nailed to the cross.

Because I was worried about being late for class, I just played for a while and then ran out.

The next day, they went looking for the door according to their previous memories, and when it opened again, it was no longer a church, but something else.

After this rumor spread, Lin Xia thought that the doors in the auditorium should be movable and able to change at any time.

But no one knows the law of this change.

Maybe even the professor who has lived in the castle for many years can't figure it out.

Maybe even Dumbledore couldn't figure it out.

This headmaster, who is respected by all wizards and professors, once said that Hogwarts has many secrets, and even he cannot know all of them.

Lin Xia sometimes wondered why Voldemort tried to sneak into Hogwarts again and again.

Does he also want to explore the secret?

"Lin Xia, come over here."

Came Professor McGonagall's voice.

Lin Xia gathered her thoughts and walked towards the professor.

There are several other college professors with Professor McGonagall, all of whom are familiar faces.

There were also some professors with unfamiliar faces, but they did not meet the little wizards face to face. Instead, they stood solemnly at the four corners with stern expressions.

When she came to Professor McGonagall, Lin Xia realized what was different about this position.

The main difference is the ceiling.

Looking up, she saw a complex magic circle as bright as stars appearing before her.

How complicated is this magic circle?
Lin Xia had seen many alchemical magic arrays from Professor Babel, and had even seen some magic arrays that could create magical objects.

But none of them can compare to the magic circle in front of us!
First of all, there are many lines, either straight or curved, which are constantly distorted and deformed to form twisted geometric figures, which are intertwined with patterns of stars, moons, suns and other special meanings.

It's like a ball of thread that can't be untangled no matter how hard you try. The more you look at it, the more annoyed you become, and the more depressed you feel.

When several professors saw Lin Xia look up and stare at the magic circle, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

Even they didn't dare to look at this magic circle for too long because they would be affected.

Why does Lin Xia look so relaxed?
Dean Sprout couldn't help but ask: "Lin Xia, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Lin Xia pondered: "I feel very irritable and depressed. Is this normal?"

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but say, "This is normal. Even if we look directly at this magic circle, we will feel irritated and depressed, which affects our mentality, but you seem to be very relaxed."

Lin Xia brought up Professor Babeling without changing her expression.

"Professor Babel once told me that I am very talented in magic runes. Maybe this magic circle uses a lot of magic runes, so the impact is not that great."

Snape didn't want to continue the conversation and interrupted coldly: "Start the test!"

What Lin Xia didn't know was that this magic circle that could detect abnormalities in students' bodies was a large magic circle.

Each activation can detect 10 wizards.

They would only conduct individual tests when facing wizards they felt were extremely dangerous.

After the magic circle was activated, the lines became more complex, as if they were alive, twisting and rotating continuously, a bit like an oversized Möbius strip.

The extremely strong and bright light shone on Lin Xia, making her look glowing, as if she had transformed into the Son of Light or the Sun God.

Despite this situation, Lin Xia looked at the magic circle for a few seconds.

Feeling her eyes were very sore, she immediately lowered her head and closed her eyes.

This is because her eyes have become the eyes of knowing destiny, so she can observe for so long.

If it were her previous body.

After the magic circle was activated, she wouldn't be able to survive even a second with such complex changes.

After more than ten seconds, the magic circle stopped working.

The professors stared at Lin Xia closely, all raising their wands.

If anything unexpected happens, they will be the first to attack.

The biggest function of this magic circle is to stimulate the aliens in the wizard's body, allowing them to develop rapidly.

In other words, under this kind of stimulation, the alien will take over and control the wizard's body.

The wizard will lose control very quickly, and the duration of this loss of control will never exceed one minute.

Within a maximum of one minute, if there is really something different, there will definitely be a reaction.

Lin Xia felt the professor's nervousness.

She didn't say anything and waited silently.

They waited for three minutes.

Lin Xia felt her legs were a little stiff. This was not a physical reaction, but a psychological effect.

When she couldn't help asking, Professor McGonagall said first, "There's nothing unusual."

Other professors also spoke up: "No."

"No."

"No."

Even Snape said the word "no" with an extremely unhappy expression.

Before leaving, Lin Xia took another look at the super-large magic circle.

If you don’t see it, you won’t see it.

In the next one or two years, she probably won't come into contact with such a large magic circle, so it would be great if she could memorize it.

It will definitely help her study magic runes better.

Unfortunately, magic circles are like alchemy circles. You can’t memorize them just by wanting to.

Lin Xia had a hunch.

If she used her spiritual sense at this time, she should be able to remember something. But in front of so many old professors, she didn't dare to act rashly.

After leaving the testing room, Lin Xia waited outside and did not return to the auditorium to chat with other little wizards.

Her next one was Draco.

After waiting for a few minutes, Draco finally came out of the small door.

His test time was not much shorter than hers.

Draco was about to ask Lin Xia what he was doing here, but Lin Xia said, "Wait a minute."

About a minute passed.

Ten little wizards came out of the small door in a group.

Seeing the two of them standing at the door, they were a little surprised and asked, "Lin Xia, Draco, did the professor ask us to wait here?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "No, I just discussed the topic with Draco, and we are leaving now."

The two did not return to the auditorium, but came to the lawn outside the castle, enjoying the sunshine while exchanging the information they had obtained.

Draco: "I have seen that magic circle in the Ministry of Magic. It is a magic circle specially used to interrogate aliens. It is of very high standards and is used to deal with high-level wizards."

Lin Xia was not surprised. "This magic circle looks very advanced. If it weren't for special circumstances, it shouldn't be used to test young wizards."

This is a waste of talent.

Lin Xia added: “The testing standards for ordinary wizards and outstanding students are different.

Ordinary wizards can detect more at a time and the results are faster, but professors are very wary of us outstanding students. They must have discovered something.

Perhaps the accident in the restricted section of the library is not as simple as we thought."

Draco looked at Lin Xia, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Lin Xia did not go to the Forbidden Forest with them yesterday, and something like this happened in the library. It was hard for him not to associate it with Lin Xia.

Lin Xia pretended to see nothing about it.

Seeing this, Draco stopped asking questions.

If Lin Xia doesn't want to say something, she won't say it no matter how you ask her.

But as long as she wants to say it, she can tell you even if you don't want to listen.

It took the professor a whole morning to test everyone.

It might be a lucky coincidence.

Lin Xia, Mikel and Grace, the professor didn't catch any of them.

On the contrary, there are quite a few outliers mixed in among the senior wizards.

Under the stimulation of the magic circle, the wizards quickly lost control, one of them was an outstanding student in the sixth grade.

Under the control of the alien, the wizard fought back and forth with the professor, but he was outnumbered and was quickly captured.

In a situation like this, there is only one consequence for being caught:
That means being imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic!
-
"Maybe he'll go to Azkaban if the people at the Ministry of Magic can't find out anything." Ron said excitedly.

They were in Potions class.

At this time, three days had passed since the test, but the trend brought about by this test had not stopped.

The little wizards were all happy to talk about these things, making themselves look like little adults, imitating their parents and criticizing current social ills in various places.

Hermione said speechlessly: "If they can't find out anything through questioning, shouldn't it be that they don't know about it either? Why do they have to be put in jail?"

Ron imitated his father's way of speaking.

"Because many employees in the Ministry of Magic are good-for-nothings, especially those who are descendants of nobility.

They are often eager to achieve success and make achievements, and they have resorted to many lynchings, and even threatened to throw someone into Azkaban to force others to admit to crimes that they did not commit at all.

Hermione: "...Ron, don't forget, your father is also a member of the Ministry of Magic."

Ron shrugged and said helplessly: "Although it is, it can also be said that it is not.

The Muggle Research Department where he works is too unpopular, he is not valued and is often ignored, like a small worker. "

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in his ears, as if a cold snake was crawling from his calf to his chest.

"So, the youngest son of the Weasley family who is not valued by the Ministry of Magic, please stand up and answer me a question. What is the second step of the scabies potion?"

Ron's expression first turned sad, then happy.

Scabies potion!

He remembered this potion; they had learned it in first grade.

He practiced it many times, but at the critical moment, his mind went blank and he couldn't remember anything.

Harry sat next to him.

Knowing the steps for making this potion, whisper the answer to him.

Snape said coldly: "Potter, I am asking Ron Weasley now, not you, please shut up."

Ron couldn't answer and had to stand during class.

His legs were sore from standing.

Lin Xia was sitting behind him and felt that Ron was a man with a sharp tongue and spoke without thinking, but he was actually quite honest.

If it were her, she would definitely use soothing magic to soothe her tired legs.

But then she thought, oh, maybe Ron didn't even know how to cast the soothing magic.

This is such a sad thing.

As soon as the get out of class was over, before the students had time to rush out, Snape's voice rang out again -

"Lin Xia, come to my office."
