Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

The three points are arranged like an equilateral triangle. Although this kind of mark is rare, it is not unrecorded.

Hermione turned to the page of explanation, ran her fingers across the rough paper, and read out word by word:

“One dot corresponds to one major event in life, three dots correspond to three major events, and the importance is divided according to the length between the dots and the size of the dots.

If all three dots are exactly the same size and length, it means that these three things are equally important to you.”

Hearing this, Ron couldn't help but ask, "What if there are four points? If the four points can form a square of the same size, does that mean four equally important things will happen?"

Hermione shook her head and said thoughtfully, "No, the meaning of 4 dots is completely different from that of 3 dots. It just so happens that this book also explains the meaning of a square formed by 4 identical dots."

She flipped through the book quickly, with a very clear purpose, as if she had memorized the entire book.

"I found... 4 identical points. If they are connected to form a square, it means 4 unlucky things will happen, one after another, and each one will be worse than the last."

Ron, Harry and Draco looked at each other and felt that it was outrageous!
Why are the meanings of three dots and four dots so different?

Draco asked: "What if there are only two dots, or just one dot?"

Hermione hummed, flipping through the book quickly, "One dot and two dots have different meanings.

Here, record it here... A dot represents that something big will happen to you in the near future that may affect your life, and you have to make a careful choice.

Two dots represent that a disaster will happen recently, but this disaster will not happen to you, but to your relatives and friends. "

Ron was curious. "Can't there be only one or two major events happening to me? If three points appear, there must be three major events. If it doesn't meet these conditions, then there is nothing."

Hermione: “According to the book, divination is a very mysterious thing, and it will only appear when it is supposed to appear.

If you can't find any signs of divination on your body, it means it's not the right time yet."

Harry felt as if he was listening to a fairy tale. "This is too much of a coincidence!"

Hermione nodded quickly: "So I always think that divination is unreliable, and the results obtained from divination are not necessarily correct."

Trelawney's voice suddenly came from everyone's ears, "Don't be so absolute, child."

She came to the side of the few people at some point and looked down at the three dots of the same size in Lin Xia's palm.

Trelawney's eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned forward and said in a soft voice:

"This sign is really rare. I haven't seen this kind of prediction for a long time. I remember it only appeared once 50 years ago.

And that person became a great man, although no one knew him... Child, the fact that such a prophecy could appear shows that you are not ordinary. "

Trelawney stared at her deeply: “You must cherish the opportunity Merlin gives you. Three major things will happen to you in the near future.

These three things are very helpful to you, but they may not be helpful to others. By the way, I have a piece of advice for you: stay away from darkness and be careful when you are alone. "

She suddenly turned to look at Hermione: "As for you, little witch, I have told you once that the light circle around you is very dim, and you cannot understand the true meaning of the prophecy."

Before, Hermione had always gone against the professor in Divination class, often questioning him and even talking back to him.

But this time, Hermione seemed to have come to her senses. She did not refute what Trelawney said, but said:

"Professor, but prophecy doesn't exclude anyone's arms, does it?"

Trelawney looked at Hermione deeply and said, "You are an interesting little witch. You are right. The goddess of prophecy will not give up the embrace of anyone. It's just that she will only reveal her true appearance to certain people."

After Trelawney left their area, the mysterious sense of oppression she brought, as if even time and space had stopped, disappeared, and Lin Xia noticed her makeup.

Professor Trelawney changed his style again.

The transparent shawl covered with various beads and gems seemed to have become newer.

And her eyeshadow was also deliberately painted with large areas of purple, so deep that it looked a bit like the purple-blue night.

Thinking back to the two previous classes, Professor Trelawney's makeup always matched the classroom, and Lin Xia couldn't help but think:

Is this also a ritual to ensure that divination predictions will be successful?
Otherwise it would be hard to guess why Professor Trelawney's style is so varied.

"Ding Dong——" the melodious bell for the end of get out of class rang.

The young wizards finished a divination class in a daze and walked towards the auditorium to have lunch.

Draco asked, "Hermione, why have you become so aggressive towards Trelawney today?"

Others also looked over, and even Lin Xia was a little curious.

Hermione smiled and said, "No, I have never agreed with Professor Trelawney's views, but I found that it is better to break her down from another perspective rather than to criticize her in person and let her try to get away with it."

Lin Xia asked: "On the other hand?"

Hermione raised the parchment in her hand. "I wrote down everything Professor Trelawney said, and I'm waiting for the day when she wants to explain something. I'll answer her with what she said."

She vowed confidently, "Just wait and see. I will expose Professor Trelawney as a liar. She has been deceiving Hogwarts students with unfounded prophecies and letting the school continue to provide her with funding!"

Good guy, you’re going to give him a taste of your own medicine?

Ron immediately stepped back a few steps, pulling Harry back with him, and whispered:

"Harry, don't offend Hermione in the future, especially don't say bad things about her in front of her, otherwise she will really hold a grudge."

Lin Xia's eyes flashed thoughtfully.

Others just thought Hermione was vindictive, but she saw something different in it.

If Hermione really thought that Trelawney's Divination lessons were useless, she wouldn't have recorded what Trelawney said.

No one will spend time on something they completely disagree with. Why force something that they cannot understand?

Others might force it, but Hermione is not the kind of person who would waste time.

Lin Xia also believes that Hermione should want to understand Trelawney's logic of interpreting the divination allegory in this way.

Then she would find a set of rules from it and use them to defeat Trelawney, whom she thought was a half-baked person.

But if Hermione really thought so, Lin Xia thought it would not be of much use.

It is very difficult to deduce the correct prophetic logic from a half-baked person.

Because you don’t know what is right and what is wrong.

What's more, Trelawney has been able to teach in Hogwarts for so many years, and she must have her own way of survival.

Lin Xia felt that apart from the prophecy that seemed unreliable, there must be something about Trelawney that was worthy of Hogwarts worshipping her.

Maybe it's blood, or maybe it's family.

There is always something different about the professors at Hogwarts.

...After lunch, there were no classes in the afternoon, so Lin Xia and others stayed in the laboratory and continued to work on their experiments.

Hermione learned magic patterns from Ron and Harry.

She didn't have much talent in runes, and was at the same level as Harry and Ron.

But because she is diligent enough, she has gradually caught up with these two people.

Ron and Harry were influenced by Hermione's inward movement, and they, who were originally leisurely, became anxious and often took the initiative to go to the laboratory to learn the remaining runes.

Not long after Lin Xia and Draco entered the private laboratory, Hermione knocked on the door.

"Lin Xia, an owl brought two letters to us. The letters looked very important and were wrapped in gorgeous packaging."

Lin Xia just put on her goggles and turned to Draco and said, "You do the experiment first, I'll go take a look."

Drake took the instrument and said, "Okay."

It’s not that he didn’t want to go out and watch the fun, but the experiment had already begun, and every time it was opened, a sum of gold galleons would be spent.

Even if you do nothing, the money has to be spent because the materials will be consumed every time they are used.

In order not to waste this opening, Draco took the equipment and observed it.

When Lin Xia walked out of the exclusive laboratory, she found the other three sitting on the sofa in the living room, curiously surrounding the two letters.

Lin Xia walked over and found that the two letters were indeed very different.

One of the letters was black, with the words "British Ministry of Magic" written on it on the postmark. It was very concise and clear, and carried a sense of solemnity.

Receiving this letter often makes people wonder if they have done something illegal, which is why they are receiving inquiries from the Ministry of Magic.

The other letter was very gorgeous, made of gold-plated material, and had two postmarks, one was a steel rose covered with thorns, and the other was a sharp sword.

It says: [Wizengamot]

Ron asked, "Lin Xia, why did the Ministry of Magic send you a letter? Did you do something and get caught?"

Although this was Ron's question, Lin Xia tilted her head and glanced at Harry.

"Harry, I make wands. If I want to use magic in the Muggle world, I will definitely use a wand without brown filaments. I don't have to worry about being arrested for abusing magic in the Muggle world."

Harry shrugged and touched his nose embarrassedly, "Well, I... I'm just a little worried..."

Hermione asked curiously, "Linxia, ​​what is the Wizengamot? Its letters are very gorgeous. I really want to open them and study them to see if the surface of the letter is really made of gold."

Lin Xia shook the letter and shook her head: "No, Hermione, this letter is very light, feel it if you don't believe me."

Hermione actually touched it.

I placed both letters in my palms and compared them, and found that the letter from the Ministry of Magic was heavier!
When Lin Xia opened the letter, the little wizards consciously left the living room and stepped back.

While she was reading the letter, everyone was guessing what the Ministry of Magic wanted Lin Xia to do.

Hermione: "If Lin Xia has not violated any rules, then it is definitely a good thing for the Ministry of Magic to send a letter to inquire."

An idea suddenly occurred to her mind. "I heard that Lin Xia's family is rich in rare items. Is their family going to reach some cooperation with the Ministry of Magic on rare items?"

Ron also became excited: "This sounds so cool! If I ask my dad to buy the Linxia family's rare items, can I get the inside price?"

Harry said honestly, "I don't think Uncle Weasley will need the Linshaw family's treasures."

"Uh, well…normally only Aurors use magical objects, and they are often in danger."

At this point, the topic gradually went off topic.

They didn't know the Wizengamot, so they didn't say a word about it.

Ron said excitedly: "Just a week before school started, Dad came back from the Ministry of Magic with a serious look on his face and told my mom that the Aurors Department had started recruiting again.

The Auror Department has not expanded its recruitment for two years. The outstanding elites who graduate from various magic academies every year are enough to fill the Auror Department.

Therefore, the Auror Department is basically fully staffed, and it is rare to see an expansion of recruitment before the enrollment season begins."

"You want to be an Auror?" Hermione asked.

Ron said with great excitement: "Of course, don't you think this is a great thing?
Those who can become Aurors are the elite among the elites. They have strong combat capabilities and can defeat ten evil dark wizards at a time.

Once the Auror Department is short of manpower, they will have to recruit more people. If the market cannot supply so many Aurors... it means that their external recruitment standards will be lowered even more!"

Harry was also a little moved when he heard this.

Who doesn't want to be an Auror?
In their eyes, Aurors represent omnipotence.

Harry suddenly said, "If I can enter the Auror Department, I can also work with Dumbledore. Headmaster Dumbledore is in the Ministry of Magic."

Hermione wasn't too optimistic about this.

"You only think of lowered standards, but the Aurors Department is short of so many people, which means that many of them have died elsewhere.

And once the standards are lowered, what if the recruited Aurors are not competent enough and cannot deal with danger? Wouldn't that mean they will die even faster? "

Poisonous but right!

Hermione's concerns were not unfounded.

Ron said in distress: "But...but..."

That's the Aurors!
At the same time, Lin Xia also opened the letter.

She first opened the letter from the Wizengamot, which stated that Lin Xia fully met the criteria for membership and, after comprehensive selection, was awarded the Youth Outstanding Medal.

Only three young wizards received this medal this year, and only one of them was in the UK.

The Wizengamot welcomes Lin Xia to visit Parliament during the holidays, and perhaps she will have to participate in a vote next year.

If Lin Xia does not come to the Wizengamot during the vote, it will be regarded as her abstention.

Lin Xia opened the letter from the Ministry of Magic again.

The letter from the Ministry of Magic is linked to the letter from the Wizengamot.

She had just received the letter from the Wizengamot, and the Ministry of Magic had already learned in advance through some secret channels that she had won the Outstanding Youth Medal.

Professor McGonagall went through some process and quickly submitted her application for renting the venue.

What Lin Xia received was a reply letter confirming the approval of the rental of the venue. (End of this chapter)
