Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 297 The Mysterious Skeleton Passenger

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and she greeted Annie with a smile.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Anniel, it's nice to see you here."

Without waiting for Lin Xia to ask.

Anil took the initiative to explain: "The magic bus uses some alchemical techniques, and can freely shuttle back and forth between cities. I like this feeling very much, so I came up to experience it. I feel that I can use it in "Today's Transfiguration"."

Lin Xia said politely, "I see. I won't disturb you from observing. I'll go up first."

Anier was slightly stunned, "What, go up?"

Lin Xia: "Yes, because I will be staying in the bus for a long time, so I bought a room ticket."

Anil couldn't help but ask, "How long do you plan to stay in the bus?"

Lin Xia said uncertainly: "It could be five days, or ten days, or maybe even a month."

The conductor came over at this time and heard what Lin Xia said, and hurriedly said: "Lin Xia is a VIP customer of the Magic Bus!"

The corners of Annie's mouth twitched slightly, her expression remained calm, but she looked a little stiff.

He seemed to have never expected that Lin Xia would stay on the magic bus for so long.

Normal people would not expect the magic bus to cross borders when riding it, but that's what Lin Xia did.

When Lin Xia left.

Annie also got some information from the ticket seller.

When he heard Lin Xia's final destination, his face looked a little gloomy.

He didn't plan to spend a long time out this time.

but.

He glanced at the driver and the conductor on the magic bus. With his abilities, he could easily deal with these two people.

But the magic bus is operated in cooperation with the Ministry of Magic. It can locate the location of each bus and has door keys that can be moved at any time.

As long as the Ministry of Magic cannot contact the magic bus, or the conductor and the driver do some special actions, they will inform the Ministry of Magic that the bus is in danger.

The Ministry of Magic would be here via Portkey in less than a minute.

Considering Lin Xia's family background, Anier was not sure that he could deal with Lin Xia within a minute.

He wouldn't be so unconfident in the past.

But the longer he secretly observed Lin Xia, the more he could feel that her temperament was very different from that of the little wizard.

Lin Xia is not simple!
Soon, day gave way to night.

In the terrifying night, the emergency lights in the bus were turned on early, and when I was sitting on the first floor, my body felt warm.

Lin Xia felt that the light inside was much brighter than the light from the car lights outside.

In fact.

Viewed from the outside.

At this moment, the magic bus was like a little sun emitting dazzling light, as if it was about to pierce through the darkness and bring forth a ray of dawn with its bravery.

Brake hard! Turn hard! Change speed fast!

At the same time, it can also shrink the shape of the car and squeeze into the gap between two Muggle cars.

Drill from the middle, drill from the bottom, drill from the empty lawn!
When it encountered the Muggle grandpa and grandma, the magic car was like an arrow that had been shot from a bow and was rewound, stopping suddenly in a way that was completely inexplicable by physics, and it stopped without any inertia.

When it stops, the magic car can even take a few steps backwards, which is counterintuitive.

Lin Xia went down to the first floor on purpose at night, sat in the empty seats, and experienced the same feeling as a roller coaster.

During this time, Anier stood still like a mountain, not as curious as Lin Xia at all.

This is not surprising.

In the distant past, he would ride his magic car to school every day.

Anier explained to Lin Xia: "Later, flying brooms appeared, and Quidditch became popular among all the young wizards. The young wizards tried to use flying brooms to go to school by themselves, and fewer people took magic cars."

The conductor was also listening.

There was nothing he could do. There were very few passengers in the car, no one wanted to chat with him, and he was too bored.

The conductor said in confusion, "That was many years ago. How come I have never heard that the magic bus would pass by Hogwarts when getting off at the stop?"

Anier said vaguely: "It seems to be several decades ago, or even hundreds of years ago. I also saw it in my grandfather's notes."

I mentioned earlier that I have personally experienced the Magic Bus many times.

This time he said he saw it in his notes.

Lin Xia couldn't help but look at Anier a few more times. Could it be that he was deliberately trying to attract her attention by speaking incoherently?

"Dudu!"

The magic car stopped again.

It was already late at night, and Lin Xia was about to go to the room on the third floor to rest. At this time, a new passenger got on the bus. She looked down and was stunned.

Because the person who got on the bus this time was not a human, but a skeleton!
But the conductor and the driver were very familiar with the skeleton and greeted him.

The ticket seller smiled and asked, "Are you going to sing in the band again?"

The skull's teeth opened and closed, making a "clicking" sound, and a hoarse voice came, unexpectedly magnetic.

"Yes, sir. The King's Band invited me to France this weekend to participate in a street tour. They said that the wizarding world also needs to open up to new trends and let the free artistic atmosphere spread to the whole world!"

The conductor shrugged. “Oh, man, that sounds like a scam.”

The skull chuckled. "A little bit."

It suddenly turned its head to look at Lin Xia, and said in a magnetic and charming voice: "Little witch, you have been staring at me for a long time. Don't you know that I can be shy too?"

Lin Xia came back to her senses and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, um, I——"

She paused, a moment of thought flashed across her eyes, as if she was trying to describe it.

"This is the first time, no, that's not right, this is the second time I've seen the Skeleton Band. The last time I saw it was at Halloween at school."

This skeleton only has a head and no body, which makes people wonder how it can play a musical instrument.

But it has a nice voice, maybe it's the lead singer of the band.

The skeleton smiled, and a burst of blue flame appeared above its head.

"I roughly know which school you are in. Hogwarts, right? I once had a friend who was invited by the headmaster to hold a Halloween concert there."

He is very talkative.

Lin Xia decided to stay and chat with him.

The two of them sat on the first floor, and the skeleton shared what it had seen and heard with Lin Xia.

Among them, Annie tried to interrupt the topic several times.

But because Lin Xia didn't know the band he liked, Skull said that it was all old-fashioned music and ignored Annie and continued chatting with Lin Xia.

Anier was ignored and went to the third floor with a frown.

Ever since knowing that Lin Xia opened a house on the magic bus, Annie followed suit and opened one too.

Wait for him to leave.

The skull immediately changed the subject and said in a voice full of magnetic charm: "Little witch, I like you very much. You look at me with only surprise, not contempt.

I can feel that you are very interested in me, but unfortunately, I only plan to have a skeleton girlfriend. "

Lin Xia quickly said: "No, no, I'm just interested in your body structure."

The blue flame on the skull's head shot higher. "Haha, when a skull says to another skull, 'I'm interested in your body,' it will be considered a courtship!" He changed the subject and said regretfully, "But unfortunately, I know you don't mean that. I'm not interested in humans either. Maybe we can be friends."

The skull floated up from his seat and said, “You can read the books written by the Skeleton Master, “The Secrets I Have to Tell the Skeleton”, “The Similarities Between the Skeleton and the Human Body”, and “Although I am a Skeleton, I Have a Human Soul and Mind”.

There is a lot of useful information about skeletons written here. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the author is called Skeleton Master, and he was originally a handsome wizard.

But because he was too obsessed with studying skeletons, he transformed his body into a skeleton.

He wrote down his own thoughts, which is his further understanding of the skull, in the book. "

The flames in the skull's eyes flashed, and he said humorously: "There is no doubt that he is a man of action."

Lin Xia's eyes dimmed slightly, and she said thoughtfully: "This sounds a bit like a research maniac!"

The flames in the skull's eye sockets suddenly turned orange. "Research madman? Yes, this title is very good. He is a research madman."

Lin Xia couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me the name of that Skeleton Master?"

The skull smiled and said, "Okay, he rarely tells others his real name because he is afraid of trouble, but I happen to know his name - Pun Skoggar."

"Dudu!"

The magic bus slowly slowed down and the driver honked the horn a few times.

The skull flew around Lin Xia, as if observing and confirming something.

“Little witch, you have an aura that I like and am familiar with. I have never felt such a complex aura from someone.

You are surrounded by death, with shadows, and, well... a little hope that represents new life. Ha, I have never seen such a complex atmosphere.

You seem to have come from a very ancient era, destined to create something new here.

I like the smell of you. I once had this charm, but when I became a skeleton, I gave up everything.

I can feel that the man sitting in front of you before is very interested in you. I am familiar with that look because you look at me the same way.

I feel that the man has some similar temperament to me. Maybe he is the research maniac you mentioned? I really hope you will not be contaminated by him. "

The skull nodded politely to her, "Good luck, little witch. I wish you a safe journey."

The magic bus opened its door at this time.

Lin Xia watched him gradually leave, and suddenly something came to her mind. She quickly chased him to the door and asked:

"Can you tell me your name? I'll send you a letter later!"

The skull did not look back, and its lonely figure looked extremely elegant on the deserted road.

He said loudly and clearly, "88 Sadako Street, King's Road. This is my address. You already know my name, little witch."

"Dudu!"

The bus closed its doors and continued to move forward.

Lin Xia frowned slightly and went over the conversation between her and the skull.

Already know his name...

Suddenly, the magic bus braked suddenly, Lin Xia staggered, and the fog in her mind was cleared.

"Pun Skogar..."

Lin Xia's eyes lit up, "He is the Skeleton Master!"

Lin Xia couldn't wait to ask the conductor, "Is that passenger just now Pun Skoggar? Does he take the magic bus every day?"

But the strange thing is.

Neither the conductor nor the driver responded to Lin Xia's words.

It was as if she hadn't asked at all.

Lin Xia felt something was wrong and kept changing the way she asked the questions. It was not until she stopped saying the name of Skeleton Master that she could communicate normally with the two people.

The conductor thought for a moment and said, "You don't ride this often, maybe once a week."

He looked at Lin Xia mischievously, "Little wizard, do you like this skeleton passenger?"

Lin Xia: “No.”

The ticket seller kept talking, "It's normal to like someone. When I first heard him speak, I almost thought I was in love with him! It's a pity that he is a skeleton. If he was a normal man, I wouldn't mind. Yes, I wouldn't mind at all..."

Lin Xia blinked.

He took a few steps back and looked at the conductor carefully.

Soon, she shook her head.

I thought, maybe the master was just fed up with it and decided to transform himself into a skeleton in order to reduce that damn charm.

Time passed quickly and soon it was the next day.

Anier continued to chat with Lin Xia.

But Lin Xia did the opposite and kept talking to him about issues related to transfiguration.

His family is the founding family of Transfiguration Today and has a deep understanding of Transfiguration as well as many unknown Transfiguration techniques.

These are passed down through the family, from generation to generation, and are difficult for outsiders to know.

But for some reason, Annie spoke out generously this time.

After just one day of discussion, Lin Xia felt that he had gained a lot, and his brain felt as if it was bursting with knowledge.

She used to discuss it with Professor McGonagall.

Anil's style is completely different from Mag's.

McGonagall prefers to guide students to think independently, but Anil just crams information into their heads, regardless of whether the students understand it or not.

Fortunately, Lin Xia digested and absorbed it all.

Little did Anil know that this scene was very shocking.

How could she keep up?
How could she understand so quickly?
How did her understanding of transfiguration reach such a high level?
Her transformation talent is absolutely top-notch!
Anier's gaze towards Lin Xia became more eager.

prior to.

He just wanted to imprison Lin Xia and give her a truth serum to explain what happened in the Sky City at that time.

Until now, he still feels upset about it.

The transfiguration in the Castle in the Sky is different from the transfiguration today. It can really turn stone into gold, turn the dead into the living, and the living into the dead!
As long as he can unearth the mystery of the sky city.

His Transfiguration skills will see a leap forward, and it is not impossible that he will become a greater wizard than Dumbledore!

but now.

Anil suddenly changed her mind.

Imprisoning Lin Xia is such a waste of her talent.

He should replace Lin Xia's soul, use her body, and make her talent for transfiguration his own.

——Replace it!
The more Annie thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to tell Lin Xia everything she knew.

The more outstanding Lin Xia is, the better it will be for him.

Immersed in excitement, Anil did not notice that Lin Xia's gaze towards him became increasingly colder, and in the end, there was even a hint of pity.

"Dudu!"

As night fell, the magic bus stopped temporarily and rested for an hour at the bus transfer station.

Lin Xia stood up and suddenly walked out.

Anil followed closely behind.
