Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly.

Babel was telling herself that she didn't need to worry about her safety. At least at this stage, her path was different from Harry Potter's.

Lin Xia thought about it and asked cautiously, "If I grab the path that Harry should take ahead of time, making it increasingly difficult for Harry to follow, will the principal have any opinion on me?"

Babel said calmly: "Lin Xia, Harry is not a waste.

The fact that he is valued by so many people must mean that he has some abilities, but you just can't see them now.

Although I didn’t train Harry, I have to admit that their optimism is very reasonable.”

Lin Xia understood.

She hasn't fully understood Harry yet and hasn't discovered his shining points, so she thinks he is mediocre.

But in the eyes of senior wizards like Dumbledore, Harry obviously has outstanding qualities and is recognized by other senior wizards.

Professor Babel asked her to come over this time mainly to reassure her and let her not be afraid that others would deal with her.

In fact, Lin Xia was not afraid of what the professor didn't tell her.

But now that the professor has said it, Lin Xia feels more confident.

Lin Xia didn't know what she was thinking about, so she asked, "Professor, last summer, I joined the Researchers Association.

Every professor in Hogwarts has a good impression of the Researchers' Association, but I heard from another source that the association seems to have many unknown little secrets and is not very kind." She said cryptically.

She was still unclear about Professor Babel's attitude towards the Researchers Association, so she could take this opportunity to test it out.

Professor Babel looked at Lin Xia with interest.

"As the Researchers Association becomes increasingly invisible among the people, only reporting good news but not bad news, I haven't heard bad things about it for a long time. I didn't expect you to have other channels to learn about it."

She said calmly: "The Researchers Association is very extreme in research. This kind of extreme association can burst out extreme power, but on the other hand, it will also be unbalanced. This is inevitable.

Since you have joined, then work hard on research. Research and invention are the foundation of existence there. No matter what conspiracies or tricks you use, as long as it complies with the rules, no one will dare to touch you.

So, just don't give them a chance. I believe that with your caution, you will make proper arrangements."

Lin Xia asked hesitantly, "The space there seems to be very different. I once read a banned book there, but I found that the book was not disturbed by the evil god's whispers."

This information is not circulated among ordinary wizards, but among senior wizards like Professor Babel, it is a well-known secret.

"You can think of it as having different rules there. The order is more perfect and more extreme, so the power of the evil god's world has not invaded there."

"But," Babeling changed her tone and emphasized again, "Going to extremes blindly is not a good thing. Although it can gain extreme power temporarily, it will also cause a certain imbalance in order."

Lin Xia thought thoughtfully, perhaps this was pointing out that once one got used to the environment of the Researchers Association, it would be difficult to integrate into the normal environment of the wizarding world.

Whether they like it or not, it is a fact that the world is invaded by the power of the evil god.

Every wizard is trying hard to fight against this force. In such an environment, the Researchers Association is able to go against the trend. Although it is remarkable, it may also sow the seeds of disaster because it violates the laws of the environment.

Perhaps this is also the reason why most researchers in the Researchers Association choose to integrate the organs of magical creatures in order to better fight against the invasion of evil gods' whispers.

Because it is difficult to adapt to the external environment, but we cannot stay at home for a long time, we can only start from other aspects.

Lin Xia took a last look at the disordered space of Professor Babeling and left in time.

After she left, the huge all-seeing eye behind Professor Babeling was revealed. It was an eye with a huge eyeball.

The eyeballs are covered with dense blood vessels. Just by looking at them, you can feel the impact of a powerful force, making you dizzy.

Professor Babel asked, "What did you find?"

The Eye of All-Seeing swished forward with strings of data, and on many key pieces of information, the opinions given were—

[Protected by some power, unable to be spied on]

Babel was not surprised by this, and murmured to herself, "I wonder if her ability will be better than Harry Potter's talent of becoming stronger with each battle..."

But soon, Babel denied her idea.

"No, she has such a great talent for research that she won't necessarily acquire talent in combat. She should be more inclined towards research. Combat ability is only auxiliary, and the truly valuable thing is research ability."

On the other side, Lin Xia walked out of the office.

She stood in the corridor, turned her head and looked out the window, and found that the sky was no different from when she entered before.

She looked down at her magic watch. After entering that disordered space, the time recorded on her magic watch became invalid.

Now that she was out of that space, it seemed to have automatically calibrated itself. Only ten minutes had passed since she entered and left.

But ten minutes was obviously not enough for her to chat with Professor Babel.

Lin Xia murmured to himself, even time was disordered in that place.

She was lucky this time, and only ten minutes had passed since she came out.

If I go in again next time, time will pass faster. Maybe after just a few words, it will be the next morning when I come out.

Lin Xia collected all the information revealed by Babeling and came to the laboratory.

As soon as she entered, she felt a heavy atmosphere.

Looking up, except for the moody Ron, even the calm Hermione and the wise Draco had serious expressions.

The person they all looked at was Harry, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Ron stammered, "Harry, don't be discouraged. Perhaps the intelligence collected by the Malfoy family is wrong. They investigated incorrectly."

Harry smiled bitterly and said, “Others may think it’s wrong, but when it comes to me, it’s probably right nine times out of ten.

No wonder the Slytherin wizards were so hostile to me in the Great Hall and asked me if I wanted to command Sirius. "

He said with a melancholy look on his face, “It turns out that Sirius is my godfather, and everyone is worried that he will come to me and start killing again.

No wonder the Dementors moved into Hogwarts, because they knew that the only person Sirius cared about was in Hogwarts, and they would definitely come to Hogwarts, so they were prepared in advance.

No wonder some nobles look at me in such a strange way, with a look of contempt and a look of fear of offending me. "

The more Harry thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Although Sirius is my godfather, I have no impression of getting along with him. How could they be so outrageous as to think that I would let Sirius kill someone?!"

Lin Xia understood what was going on and immediately said, "Harry, calm down. If the school really suspected you had a problem, they wouldn't let you continue studying."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Harry's head, instantly sobering him up.

Harry lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, I..."

Lin Xia said: "Harry, your godfather was chosen by your parents, not by you.

Dementors are always stationed at Hogwarts. If Sirius comes looking for you, he will definitely be found by the Dementors. You don't have to worry about the safety of others.

In a sense, the school did the right thing. With the protection of the Dementors, Hogwarts was not afraid of Sirius coming over.

Instead of worrying about the safety of others, Harry, you should think about yourself and what you would do if you really met Sirius. "

Harry hesitated and said, "I will be hostile to him and fight him..." Hermione immediately said, "Don't be stupid, how can you beat Sirius?"

Harry: "Then I'll stay away from him, I'll stay as far away as possible!"

Ron muttered quietly: "But what if Sirius is determined to find you? Why is he so obsessed with you? There are so many Dementors here, and he is going to find you."

Draco originally thought that Sirius came to Harry to do something bad.

According to normal logic, a murderer cannot be a good person.

But suddenly, he thought of his family history.

If Professor Babel hadn't mentioned it to him, he wouldn't have known that the families of that generation were killing each other not for power, but just for a mere woman?
The more you use normal logic, the further away you are from the truth of the matter.

What if we use anti-logical thinking?
Sirius Black, even at the risk of being discovered by the Dementors, insisted on coming to Hogwarts to find Harry. Was it because...

He had something important to tell Harry?

As for Sirius Black, perhaps everyone misunderstood him. Maybe he was not a murderer, but was framed?

This thought made Draco feel a little terrified, but also excited.

He immediately expressed his guess.

Ron, Hermione and Lin Xia were all surprised by his guess, but on the other hand, this interpretation was not wrong.

Lin Xia: "If Sirius hadn't been labeled a murderer beforehand, it would be normal for him to come and see Harry as Harry's godfather."

Ron shrugged. "Okay, your idea makes sense, but it's incredible... How could I be wrongly accused? This is the result of an investigation by the Ministry of Magic!"

Hermione looked at Ron and said, "I think the Ministry of Magic is sometimes unreliable. They like to shirk responsibility.

We all know that the You-Know-Who has been resurrected, but the wizards in the Ministry of Magic firmly believe that it is our illusion, the professor's illusion, and they were picky when they searched the Chamber of Secrets last school year. "

Lin Xia looked at Harry again, "Harry, you should think about what to do when you see Black."

Harry didn't know what to do.

He just felt his head was in a mess.

Sirius Black is actually his godfather?

Maybe he came to see me for some other reason?

Maybe the murderer is fake and was framed?
All this was contrary to the outside world's speculation, and made Harry's mind very confused.

That night, he had a dream.

In his dream, he met Sirius and cried about his grievances, saying that he was framed and that he was his godfather and would not ignore him...

Harry woke up from his sleep in shock, sweating profusely.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't dare tell anyone about his dream.

Can we look forward to it?

In his dictionary, not having expectations means you won't get hurt.

……

On the other hand, the Weasley twins decided to start with Professor Trelawney based on Lin Xia's advice.

Professor McGonagall was extremely disappointed with them and would never let them go on patrol missions. She was too principled.

Professor Snape would not help them either, and it's good enough that he didn't try to trip them up in secret. How many rumors about Snape have they fabricated over the years?

Professor Sprout of the Herbology class had no grudges against them.

But because of this, I won’t say good things about them because I have no impression of them.

What's more, since Lin Xia is here, they decided not to look for the professor, lest something really happens and Lin Xia would have to bear the responsibility.

Originally the twins wanted to find Hagrid or the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Lupin.

Both professors have a good relationship with them.

But precisely because he was newly hired, he had the least power in Hogwarts and could not even attend the weekly professors' meetings, let alone interfere in the night patrols.

George put down the Bible in his hand and said, "Fred, Lin Xia is right. In the end, we can only choose Professor Trelawney."

Fred took out a cross and gestured to his chest.

"May God bless us to succeed in our attack. I am not sure about the professor's charlatan."

George: "Maybe I should take a book on astronomy. Does it seem like I'll have a strong desire to learn about divination?"

Fred: "But we heard that Professor Trelawney never uses astrology. Wouldn't this be counterproductive?"

George: "Well, it seems we can only leave it all to fate."

Fred made the sign of the cross again, "May fate bring us good luck, Amen."

……

Trelawney's office is as weird as her divination classroom, both are built above the ceiling, and it's unclear what the aesthetic is.

Perhaps the mezzanine in the ceiling could give Trelawney a greater sense of security.

Her office was like a divination classroom, filled with many old containers. When the twins entered, they could see that a batch of containers were covered with spider webs.

Some students came to visit in the evening, and Trelawney looked at the two students unexpectedly.

George and Fred stood in front of the professor. Their size was in stark contrast to the other young wizards passing by. They were obviously senior wizards.

Trelawney had no impression of the two men because they had not attended her Divination classes.

After knowing that they were senior students, Trelawney handed them a form and said calmly:

"You want to come here to study, right? Unfortunately, I have no more places for my official lectures. If you want to study, you can only attend as auditors.

But I won’t lower the standards for auditing, you must do your homework like other little wizards…”

George and Fred looked at each other and spoke in perfect tacit understanding.

"No, Professor, I came here following the guidance of fate."

"Fate tells me that you will be our mentor and guide us."

"Professor, I need your help."

"This is destiny's instruction."

Trelawney paused and looked at them suspiciously. "Guidance of fate?"

Why does this sound so familiar? (End of this chapter)
