Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Dean Sprout was very unhappy that two outstanding students came to her in the evening.

She had stressed to the two of them many times that Hogwarts was very dangerous at night.

Until Lin Xia said: "Professor, we came to you for something important. You don't have to worry about our safety. Draco and I have already accepted the late-night patrol mission issued by the school.

If we encounter danger during a period when there is no patrol, we should be more proactive in resolving it.

Fortunately, we encountered it. If it were an ordinary student, his life would be in danger. "

Dean Sprout said reluctantly, "In any case, people should actively avoid danger, not actively seek it out."

She had no intention of continuing the discussion with the two young wizards, and instead asked, "What's the matter that brought you to see me in such a hurry?"

Lin Xia took out the two letters sent by owl and handed them to the dean.

Sprout looked down, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression became happier and happier.

After a while, she read the two letters carefully, and could not help but proofread them twice, until she was sure that they were correct, she said:
"This has never happened since Hogwarts was founded. I have heard about these two studies during the summer. I heard that one of them may be selected as this year's [Best Invention]. It's incredible!"

Suddenly, Dean Sprout looked at Lin Xia with burning eyes: "Lin Xia, have you joined the Researchers Association?"

Lin Xia nodded. "When I wrote to you during the summer, I had already received an invitation from the Researchers Association. After comprehensive consideration, I decided to join this association."

She said with certainty: “I have joined the Researchers’ Association, and one of my inventions was developed in the association.

The association gave me a lot of help. If I hadn’t been given a lot of relevant knowledge, the research would probably have been delayed for another year or so.”

"good, very good, excellent!"

Dean Sprout used several good words repeatedly.

It is a very good thing that a talented student suddenly appears when one is increasingly oppressed by another world.

Everyone saw hope in Lin Xia.

Moreover, Lin Xia’s genius does not come from robbing everyone else of their intelligence. It is because other people are mediocre that she becomes so smart.

Half of Lin Xia's intelligence is due to her hard work.

Under her influence, a large number of students who succeeded through self-study and hard work emerged in Hogwarts, greatly improving the school's student source.

It's okay for a person to be smart.

She also led many students to grow with her, and every professor in the school was happy to see this trend.

So Lin Xia herself may not be aware of how much favor she is received by the professors, but every professor definitely looks at Lin Xia differently.

Dean Sprout murmured, “The atmosphere in the school has been very solemn recently because of the Dementors. There hasn’t been a happy event in a long time.

You are going to rent the school auditorium for a press conference this weekend. This is a big deal, and I don’t have enough authority. I have to go find Mag and ask her to provide more resources…”

Thinking of this, the dean suddenly said, "Come on, I'll take you back to Hogwarts and talk to McGonagall about something.

Both of your inventions are very unusual, but the specifications of an ordinary press conference are not enough. Hogwarts also urgently needs to spread some news to announce its strength to everyone and shock the outside world."

Dean Sprout's office is next to the greenhouse, so Lin Xia and Draco have to leave Hogwarts to find her.

This is also the reason why Sprout was a little angry when he saw the two of them appear.

The inside of the school may not be very safe, but the outside of the school is definitely more dangerous than inside the school.

After all, there are many soul-related monsters watching outside the school.

Who knows if these two little wizards will be targeted by Dementors when they come out?
When everyone walked out of the greenhouse, Dean Sprout took the initiative to stand in front of the two of them, waving his wand with a serious expression.

A ray of shapeless silver light emanated from the tip of the wand, flickering like the moonlight pouring down from the moon in the sky.

Lin Xia felt a touch of warmth from this ray of light, as if it condensed the happiest things in the world.

This kind of power...

There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and somehow she suddenly thought of the Dementors.

This power is completely opposite to the power of the Dementors, like two extremes.

But when they returned to Hogwarts, they were not as lucky as when they came.

When Lin Xia and Draco came here, they did not encounter any danger. However, when they were returning, the Dementors floating in the air suddenly targeted them.

Three or four of them came over, and from time to time they used their pale and blurry faces to approach the two little wizards.

As the Dementors approached, Lin Xia could feel her body getting colder and colder, but she was in good physical condition, so this coldness did not pose any danger to her.

Soon, the feeling of cold disappeared and she had fully recovered.

Lin Xia turned and looked at Draco.

Although they had practiced the same technique, Draco was more fragile than her. His lips were frozen purple and his face was a little pale.

But it is much better than complete freezing or frostbite.

huh-huh-

As they approached, even the air began to whistle with cold winds, the sound of which was hollow and choking, like the howling of hell.

Dean Sprout waved his wand forward and said angrily, "Get out of here, you disgusting people!"

The silver-white light suddenly expanded outward, forming a silver-white net, approaching the Dementors.

Before they even touched the surface of the net, the Dementors hurried away in fear. They were afraid of this power!
But the emotions of Lin Xia and Draco were like flickering candle flames in the wind, very bright.

The Dementors were reluctant to leave completely and kept hovering around them. Due to the pressure of the silver-white light, they did not dare to get too close.

Dean Sprout cursed and said, "Dementors are like persistent hyenas. Once they are interested in a person, they can't be shaken off. It's a pity that my Patronus can't form a living creature, otherwise I can actively attack them."

It was only a short distance from the greenhouse to the main entrance of Hogwarts, but with the Dementors watching closely, Lin Xia felt that the distance was a bit far.

It took only a few minutes to go there, but nearly 20 minutes to come back.

Even Dean Sprout felt something was wrong.

After entering Hogwarts, she kept looking back and forth between the two of them, and said thoughtfully:

"You two are very popular with Dementors. It may be because your emotions are too strong, especially because you have too many beautiful and positive emotions, which attracts them."

She said seriously, “For your own safety, I suggest you learn the Patronus Charm as soon as possible.

Although this thing doesn't seem to appear during the day and only appears at night, no one knows whether it will suddenly appear.

You have already encountered their attacks when you were riding on the train during the day!"

Lin Xia reminded: "Dean, it will be almost evening by then." "Lin Xia, in my eyes, evening is daytime."

Lin Xia shrugged, "Dean, is the Patronus Charm difficult to learn?"

Dean Sprout said without hesitation: "It is very difficult to learn. This is a field that belongs to geniuses. Only a small number of wizards can learn the Patronus Charm.

Among them, most cannot be fully released. Only a small number of wizards with top qualifications can fully release the Patronus Charm.

The creature formed by the Patronus Charm may be an ordinary creature or a magical creature.

It is said that ordinary creatures under the Patronus spell have many wonderful uses, and the magical creatures formed are even more extraordinary. I don't know the difference."

After entering Hogwarts, Dean Sprout was obviously more relaxed and joked:
"Once you two have cultivated magical creatures, perhaps you can tell me the difference."

Lin Xia and Draco are both excellent students with amazing wizarding talents, especially Lin Xia.

No one would doubt that they couldn't practice the Patronus Charm.

Soon, they arrived at Professor McGonagall's office. Lin Xia and Draco were waiting outside, and Dean Sprout went in first.

Before the door was closed, they could still faintly hear Sprout's cheerful voice -

"McGreg, I have something good to share with you. You will be happy to hear it. Lin Xia's two inventions have been published in journals and will be released tomorrow. We need..."

Soon, Lin Xia and Draco were also called in. Professor McGonagall had a smile on her serious expression.

"Lin Xia, welcome to join the Researchers Association. I have heard from Sprout that one of your research projects was invented in the association."

Lin Xia nodded: "The association has given me a lot of help."

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and said, "Whether it is the cold pill or the voice guardian, it has a very positive meaning for the wizarding world. It is the most practical of the many inventions in recent years. I don't think we can follow the conventional procedures.

Although Hogwarts is great, it is full of students, so it doesn't have enough influence, and the academic atmosphere is not strong. Moreover, only a limited number of people can enter here, and we will not let in some powerful people.

If they don't think right, they could cause serious harm to Hogwarts."

McGonagall paused and said seriously, "What do you think of holding this press conference at the Ministry of Magic?
It will be placed in the British Ministry of Magic. We welcome scholars and professors from other countries to come and discuss it together."

"Ministry of Magic?"

Lin Xia was a little surprised: "I don't have any connections in the Ministry of Magic."

Professor McGonagall's serious face once again showed a hint of smile: "It really doesn't matter now, but based on the inventions you have made in the past, you are worthy of being awarded the Outstanding Youth Medal by the Wizengamot."

"Wizengamot?" Draco couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, looking at Lin Xia in shock.

Having been brought up as an heir to the nobility, he understood the importance of the Wizengamot.

This is the Wizarding Council!
An authority that existed earlier than the Ministry of Magic of any country!

There are many laws in the wizarding world, which are decided by the Wizengamot Council.

The Outstanding Youth Medal awarded by the Wizengamot is enough to be rated as a third-level medal, which is also the lowest level in the Wizengamot.

But that's okay.

The bottom level is not the point; being recognized by the Wizengamot is the point.

With the third-level medal awarded by the Wizengamot, one already has the right to vote and speak.

At the Wizard Council, which is held every seven years, you can vote for the decisions you want and speak for them.

The second-level medal has the right to propose, which means that it can be discussed in the meeting, and decide whether to enter the voting pool based on the opinions of all members.

As for the first-class medal.

Any ideas put forward by the members of parliament do not need to be discussed, but will be announced directly at the meeting and then put to a final vote.

Professor McGonagall was very pleased that there was a little wizard who knew how powerful the Wizengamot was, which saved her a lot of explanation.

She looked at Lin Xia: "Principal Dumbledore is the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. With him as your recommender, it will not be difficult for you to obtain the third-level medal.

I will get your third-level medal as soon as possible, and then obtain permission from the British Ministry of Magic to hold a press conference...

However, no matter how hard we try, I'm afraid it won't be completed within this weekend.

We need more time to spread the news further and further, and to attract more and more wizards to come..."

Professor McGonagall asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Xia said tactfully, "It's up to the professor."

She also needed help from Hogwarts. She liked the laboratories here very much, and there were still many secrets in the school that she had not discovered.

And Mag obviously wanted to make some noise through her press conference.

Although she didn't know what they were trying to do, she just had to cooperate.

After all, she is just a little wizard, what can she decide?
Professor McGonagall said: "Your two inventions, the cold pill, cannot be popularized, at least not in Hogwarts. The wizard group that needs the cold pill is too special."

She changed the subject, "But your sound protection is very special. Maybe we can lay it around Hogwarts first."

Suddenly, Mag's eyes lit up, and she murmured in a low voice, "No, it should be laid out in the British wizarding world first. When those wizards who come here see it, it will be more eye-catching."

There was nothing more to do with Lin Xia after that.

She and Draco both returned to the common room.

When it was time for a break, Draco said excitedly, "Lin Xia, that's the Wizengamot, the highest council in the wizarding world!
It is very difficult to join. Even the nobles in the British wizarding world are not 100% sure to join. You are amazing!"

To put it simply, it is the center of power in the entire wizarding world; even the Ministries of Magic of various countries have to step back.

Lin Xia said: "I am just a student. It is not good to enter the center of power too early. I still want to study hard in Hogwarts."

Draco: "That's true. If others knew you had joined the Wizengamot, they would definitely come to try to establish a relationship with you. Enemies who want to deal with you will have to think carefully."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Why?"

Draco said: "The honor of the Wizengamot will defend every senator.

You have been awarded the third-class medal, which is equivalent to becoming a member of parliament. No matter how you joined, you have entered the center of power.

If even you, a member of parliament, can be harmed or even killed at will, it is a provocation to the Wizengamot, and other members of parliament will help you vent your anger.

According to my dad, the Wizengamot is very protective of its people."

Lin Xia asked again: "Didn't Uncle Lucius join the Wizengamot?"

Draco shook his head: "He really wants to join, but he doesn't have enough ability or achievements. It's not a place where you can enter by donating money. Wizards who can join the parliament are not short of money at all." (End of this chapter)
