Hogwarts starts with stealing power.
Chapter 342: Dumbledore and Babel's Conversation
Lin Xia was even more curious about Ron.
Why is it that he makes the same gestures, including chanting the same Patronus spell, but can produce different spell effects?
He is like a reflecting mirror. Any spell that comes out of his mouth will become another spell once it is fired.
She had noticed this trait of Ron during her previous trip to the Chamber of Secrets, and ultimately used Ron to cause great damage to the basilisk.
Lin Xia asked Ron to try other spells and discovered something else.
Ron didn't feel afraid of some very common and easy spells, so he could cast them accurately.
However, when it comes to some powerful and advanced spells, Ron is not sure he can cast them, so he will often cast another spell.
Take the "Armor Protection" that they have been practicing for a long time, for example. Ron has a 50% chance of using the Armor Protection, but also a 50% chance of using the "Armor Hedgehog".
The Armored Hedgehog spell is an offensive spell.
As the name suggests, it summons a hedgehog in armor and blows it towards the enemy's face. In a way, it can be considered a defense that turns from defense to offense.
Lin Xia was very curious about Ron's spell that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, so she immediately invited him:
"Ron, can you help me do some experiments in your spare time? I want to explore the logic behind the spells you cast."
Ron shrugged and said nonchalantly, "As long as it doesn't harm my personal safety, of course you can. If you can get some reward, that would be even better."
Lin Xia smiled and said, "I won't let you suffer any loss, and the experiment will be conducted in a very safe environment."
Hermione was also very interested in Ron's behavior, but she didn't want to explore it. Instead, she thought that Ron was not concentrating when casting the spell.
According to Hermione's idea, that is: "You don't understand this spell deeply enough, and you are not full of obsession, so when you cast it, it often turns into another spell.
When you put your mind to it, it will be the spell you want."
Ron retorted, "When I cast the Patronus Charm, all I could think about was happy things. How could I know I would cast another spell?"
He vowed, "Besides, even if I cast a different spell, my success rate is still higher than yours!
None of you were able to cast it, and although I didn't cast the Patronus Charm, at least I was able to cast it, which proves that my magical talent is not bad."
Ron said this, and he was almost convincing himself.
Hey, is he really some rare genius that only appears once in a century? !
He has a great talent for magic, but he just hasn't tapped it yet.
Hermione said speechlessly: "The reason why we need to wave gestures and recite the correct spells is to cast the corresponding spells.
You don't even know what kind of spell you will become. It's too dangerous. I don't know what you are so proud of!"
Ron said loudly, "You don't understand!"
Hermione really didn't understand the joy of a stupid poor student who suddenly became successful and thought he had top talent.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lin Xia quickly said, "Let's continue practicing the Patronus Charm."
While they were practicing the Patronus Charm, a special guest arrived outside Snape's office.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!" Snape's cold voice rang out.
Lupin pushed open the door and walked in. When Snape saw him, his already cold expression became even colder, and his eyes showed undisguised disgust.
"You shouldn't come to my office. You know I don't welcome you. Why bother coming to me and making yourself look bad?"
Snape spoke in a sinister tone, his eyes slightly narrowed, much like a venomous snake staring at its prey, about to attack.
Lupin said calmly, "I came here to get the potion. Headmaster Dumbledore told me that you would provide me with a batch of potions every month to stabilize my condition."
Snape placed his wand against his chest in disgust, swinging it from time to time, as if he was going to attack Lupin at any second.
"Yes... Damn it, I remember this... I haven't configured it yet, I'll send it to you when it's done...
I don't need you to remind me that I really don't know why Dumbledore chose you to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. You are not qualified for this position at all. Don't you think that the dark creatures flow in your dirty blood...
It's really funny, letting dark creatures teach wizards how to deal with dark creatures... Who would tell others their true weaknesses? This is definitely the most wrong decision Dumbledore has made this year...
Okay, you can get out now. I can smell your stinky breath from more than ten meters away..."
Lu Ping walked out without changing his expression.
To be honest, these verbal attacks were of no use to him because he had been cursed more viciously than Snape.
When he listened to those people cursing, he couldn't help but think that these people only knew how to curse those few words over and over again, and he could remember them by heart.
Can't you use some new words so that he can be more interested in listening?
Lupin returned to his office.
Inside the room, Hagrid sat anxiously. His mountain-like body made the already narrow office seem crowded.
Coupled with the fact that he kept shaking his legs, fiddling with his hair, and then fiddling with the objects on the table, Lupin felt that the office would soon fall apart under the tossing of this giant.
Seeing Lupin coming back, Hagrid's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking, "How's it going? Did you get the potion that can stabilize your body?"
Lupin shook his head. "Snape said he remembered it, but the potion was not prepared."
Hagrid frowned: "Headmaster Dumbledore clearly asked him to give you the potion a week before the full moon.
There are only 5 days left until the full moon, and he hasn't configured it yet. Could he be lying to you? Does he want to wait until the last day to deliver it to you? "
I have to say that Hagrid's guess makes sense.
Snape looked like someone who could do such a thing.
Lupin said calmly: "Maybe, but it's not me who is nervous, but Hogwarts. After the transformation, I can't control my emotions, and I don't know what will happen.
Because of this issue, I refused Headmaster Dumbledore many times, but the Headmaster used Harry to get back at me.
After comprehensive consideration, I decided to come to Hogwarts to teach. As long as Harry is fine, I can leave at any time. "
Lupin didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he said, "Hagrid, how's your armor training going?"
Although he missed the life in Hogwarts, there were many cute little wizards here, they were so pure, and there was so much food here...
He didn't have to starve like his fellow tribesmen outside.
But the temptation here is also very great.
This made Lupin always worry that his sharp claws would tear apart all this beauty.
Everything in Hogwarts is too unreal!
He had experienced this unreal, psychedelic and intoxicating feeling decades ago, but the damage it brought was also huge. If he could, he didn't want to experience it again.
Hagrid's stammering voice came to my ear: "I have changed my wand, and I think I have a better grasp of the armor.
Just yesterday, I was able to use two armor shields in a row, which is a huge improvement..."

In a mysterious space inside Hogwarts, a guest suddenly arrived.
Professor Babel looked up from a pile of documents, revealing a beautiful face.
She has taught at Hogwarts for hundreds of years, but her face seems to be sealed by time. There is no wrinkle at all, and she doesn't look haggard at all.
She adjusted the silver-white frame of her glasses and looked at the person who came with an inquiring expression.
"Dumbledore, you are a rare visitor. You never came to me on your own initiative before, but you have come to see me twice this year. Could it be that this time it is related to my student again?"
Dumbledore said: "Babeling, I am sorry to disturb your research, I am indeed here for Lin Xia.
McGonagall recommended her to me for the Wizengamot Young Outstanding Medal, which is the third-level medal in the parliament. Once she is nominated, she will be equivalent to joining the Wizarding Parliament. "
Babel's pointed ears moved slightly, and she said in a calm tone: "The Outstanding Youth Medal awarded by the Wizengamot... From this point of view, Lin Xia has indeed met the requirements a long time ago.
I think it's too late to give her this medal when she's in the third grade. She should have been given this medal in her second grade."
Dumbledore looked at her inquiringly. "She has joined the Researchers' Association, so she is considered a member of your faction. Would you like her to join the Wizengamot?"
Babel raised her eyebrows and smiled gently: "Why not?
What's more, I was not the one who invited her to join the Researchers Association, and I was not her recommender.
Because she was very smart and met the association's invitation standards, the association extended an invitation to her according to the procedures.
How was this any different than her joining the Wizengamot?
Her intelligence and talent have been fully utilized and recognized by the outside world. As her teacher, I am very happy for her. Why should I prevent her from getting her rights? "
Dumbledore's blue eyes sank slightly, and he whispered, "She is too smart. She was born into a noble family and received an aristocratic education."
Professor Barbie: "But she is different from Riddle. Her heart is bright and full of love."
Dumbledore remained noncommittal: "I am just worried that after seeing so much power and desire, whether she can still maintain her original purity."
Babel smiled and said, "Dumbledore, I have to remind you that this is your prejudice against Lin Xia. In fact, the person you chose should not have lived such a miserable life.
You are training him in the way you understand, and I am training Lin Xia in the way I understand."
She said calmly: "Only after seeing power and reaching the top can one understand what one really wants. My disciple, I will give her what she can get."
Dumbledore did not want to discuss the matter with her.
This matter had been concluded long ago.
He was undoubtedly the ultimate winner, so Harry had always followed his training.
It was obvious that Harry was favored by everyone, and everyone had different ideas about him, but in the end, everything was carried out according to his will, and this was his victory.
Dumbledore looked at her with deep eyes: "I only hope that you can discipline your students more, so that she won't go astray. I will let her join the Wizengamot. This is what she deserves."
Babel replied calmly: "Dumbledore, I am different from you, and we teach our students in different ways.
In my opinion, neither simply standing by and observing calmly nor excessively interfering in other people's lives are good choices.
The reason why Riddle has become what he is now is because of your neglect."
Dumbledore was silent for a while, then said deeply: "I still think that the original decision was correct."
Babeling did not comment: "Lin Xia is my student, I will naturally keep a good eye on her, but you should not interfere too much in my student's affairs."
Dumbledore: "It is enough for me to have your promise."
After a while, Dumbledore transformed into a fiery red phoenix and left this mysterious space.
Professor Babel continued to work on the documents with her head down.
I don’t know how long it was, or it seemed like only a moment had passed. She suddenly raised her head from the empty office, put down her pen, and began to think deeply.
"She was just an idle pawn. I didn't expect she would get to this point. Even Dumbledore is paying attention to her."
Professor Babel suddenly smiled and said, "Ha, I have a very good eye."
She changed the subject, "But too much attention is not a good thing. We should put a few more layers of protection on her so that Dumbledore won't find out."
Professor Babel uttered a few spells casually, and a dense array of magic runes appeared in the air.
At the same time, Lin Xia, who was in Hogwarts, felt as if there was something extra on her body.
She looked around but saw nothing.
Neither the scales of fate nor the compass of destiny in his mind showed any movement.
But Lin Xia just had a feeling that she had become more "safe".
Lin Xia kept this feeling in her heart and followed the group to the auditorium.
In the hall, the little wizards were laughing and playing, and some of them even sang the nursery rhymes that Peeves had spread.
"There are four people in Hogwarts
A Gryffindor whose bravery was called recklessness
A Slytherin whose ambitions were called mediocre
......"
Draco was listening to the nursery rhyme, and suddenly asked: "Does the originator of this nursery rhyme like Hufflepuff? Mediocrity corresponds to greatness, what an excellent analogy."
Ron: "The other founders also had words of praise, but the order of Hufflepuff was just reversed. This doesn't mean that they like it."
He hummed this nursery rhyme, and I have to say, it felt better and better the longer it sang, it was quite magical.
Hermione said: "I also heard this nursery rhyme in the common room. Some little wizards also sing it when doing homework. I don't know why."
Ron laughed: "I know, they must hope that the four founders will bless them to get full marks for their homework!"
Hermione glared at him speechlessly, but others thought Ron's statement made sense.
For students, this is the most accurate reason. (End of this chapter)
