Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

After Ron knew his twin brother's sinister intentions, he didn't even want to buy the original magazine and pulled Lin Xia and others out.

What to buy?

He would rather watch it with others and give up the chance of winning than help his brothers make a penny!

However, when Hermione heard the twins say that "Hogwarts New Style" could also be bought at the grocery store, she took everyone to the grocery store for a trip.

In Hermione's opinion, there was something very wrong with this grocery store.

At this time, the grocery store reopened and was crowded with a group of little wizards who came to buy things.

The young wizards each held a copy of "Hogwarts New Style" and browsed through the new protective gadgets inside, waving the gold Galleons in their hands, and happily carried a bunch of things out.

Whether the things sold in the grocery store are effective or not is another matter, but they are definitely of good quality and low price, and the little wizards all go home satisfied.

Hermione specifically communicated with the handsome man in the grocery store frame and asked, "Didn't you feel that something unusual happened in the grocery store while you were away?"

The handsome man asked her, "What's the change?"

Hermione: "There are some unusual noises in the middle of the night, as if something is moving around."

The handsome man said, "Little witch, this is normal. After all, some of the goods I bought can move freely. They like to come out in the middle of the night."

Hermione frowned, not being easily fooled.

"What is that? I've never seen a gadget in a grocery store that can move freely. Show it to me."

The handsome man replied, "It's in the middle of the second layer of the third row of containers on the left. Do you see those beautiful little dolls? At midnight, these little dolls will move and play by themselves."

Hermione looked over, observed for a long time, and said confidently:
"I've never seen you sell these dolls before. You just brought them back this time, but before that, there were already unusual movements!"

The handsome man said in an orderly manner: “No, little witch, these dolls have been kept in my warehouse.

After I came back this time, I hired George and Fred to help me sort out the containers. I asked them to take them out from the warehouse and put them at the front desk. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask them. In addition.”

The man in the frame suddenly blinked at Hermione, "I'm just a frame. I can only walk in the frame. Even if there is any movement, I can't do anything.

But since you're convinced that the grocery store has something special, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Hermione's eyes lit up, "Thank you, if you find any clues, be sure to contact me!"

"I will, my dear little witch."

night.

Lin Xia chose one o'clock in the morning to patrol the floors.

She remembered Hermione's discovery and looked around the grocery store carefully, but found nothing unusual.

The professor who came to supervise and protect them this time was Professor Trelawney.

The young wizards couldn't help but become alert, because they felt that Professor Trelawney was not very reliable. If they really encountered any danger, they didn't know whether the professor would save them or they would save the professor.

Some outstanding students couldn't help but whispered: "There are several new professors at Hogwarts this semester, and they are all very capable. We should let the new professors join the patrol instead of letting professors who are obviously civilian staff come."

Another senior student refused without hesitation: "No, who knows if those new professors are minions sent by the devil?"

Lin Xia listened to it and was thoughtful for a while.

It turns out that new professors also have to go through a period of examination, rather than a strict examination before they can enter Hogwarts.

No wonder the teaching levels of some new professors are so uneven.

At the end of the patrol, Lin Xia went to the grocery store one last time to take a look, stayed there for a few minutes, and returned despite the strange looks from other outstanding students.

Someone asked, "Why did you stay there so long?"

Lin Xia did not hide it from them, "I have a friend who is also an excellent student. He was patrolling here late at night last week and heard a noise coming from the grocery store. At that time, the grocery store had been closed for a while."

Another outstanding student frowned and asked, "Did you report it to the professor?"

Lin Xia nodded: "Yes, the team leader at that time was Professor Snape. The professor went to check and said there was no danger."

Others said: "Professor Snape is very capable, his judgment should be very accurate."

But excellent students are excellent students and have their own judgment.

So they decided to pay more attention to patrolling the grocery store in the future.

"If you notice something again and don't want to tell the professor, you can come to us."

This outstanding student was a senior from the higher grade, and he looked at Lin Xia meaningfully.

When he was in Hogwarts, he always heard Lin Xia's name.

Many outstanding students want to gain Lin Xia’s friendship, and it would be best if they could team up with her when going on missions.

But Lin Xia is too much of a homebody, and a technology geek at that. She has never been to any of the exchange meetings for outstanding students, and it is impossible to find her privately.

As for blocking people at their door?

A noble and excellent student would never do such an ungraceful thing.

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly and she nodded at them.

Professor Trelawney walked out of her office, yawning loudly and looking a little drowsy, with some suspicious water stains at the corners of her mouth.

She said, "My dear, you can go back now. I have to stay for a while. Let me go to the bathroom to wash my face. Remember to tell the person who will take over next to you to organize the patrol discipline on your own."

All the outstanding students responded yes.

Lin Xia followed Professor Trelawney into the bathroom. The professor was washing his hands. He glanced at her in the mirror and asked calmly:

"Honey, what do you want from me? You don't look very good, as if there is some big trouble that needs me to solve."

Lin Xia shook her head: "Professor, I just want to report something to you, about——"

Before she could finish her words, Trelawney interrupted her, "Any evidence?"

Lin Xia was silent for a moment, then shook her head. “This was discovered by a friend of mine, and she has submitted the evidence to the patrol professor.”

Trelawney said calmly, "Now that the evidence has been submitted, the patrol professor will check it out. If you want to tell me something, you must have evidence."

Lin Xia looked into Trelawney's charming and deep eyes in the mirror and heard her murmur, "My dear, sometimes it's smarter to ignore it.

Time will tell us the real answer, and the minions hidden in the dark will gradually be exposed. If we discover them in advance, we will not be able to see the real crisis. "

Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat. "Professor, what do you mean--"

Professor Trelawney turned around and looked at Lin Xia face to face, and asked in surprise: "Why haven't you left yet? Isn't the patrol over?"

Lin Xia asked hesitantly: "Professor, what you said to me just now..." Trelawney: "What did I say to you? I didn't say anything."

She shook her hands and left the bathroom in a hurry.
-
The next day, almost all the young wizards knew about the "Hogwarts New Fashion" launched by the twins, and they were very supportive of it and showed a strong desire to buy it.

Moreover, these little wizards tacitly concealed what they were watching from the professor.

The magazine that was opened without a secret command was just an ordinary book.

But there have been too many new facts discovered at Hogwarts recently.

In the morning, "Hogwarts New Trends" dominated the conversation among the young wizards, but at noon, after Lin Xia received the medal sent by the Wizengamot, this topic completely covered the previous one.

Lin Xia received a notice from the Wizengamot in advance that the medal was being produced and would arrive later.

Now, the medal has officially arrived, and Lin Xia, in response to the enthusiasm of several friends, hung the medal on the wizard robe.

This medal is silver-green, with thorny roses and swords surrounding each other, giving people a solemn yet romantic feeling.

Rumor has it that there was originally only a sword, but because witches accounted for half of the Wizengamot Council, thorn roses were deliberately added when the emblem was designed.

With Ron's unremitting publicity, the news that "Lin Xia won the Outstanding Youth Medal awarded by the Wizengamot" spread throughout the auditorium.

The little wizards were all excited.

Such an honor is much more exciting than "Hogwarts New Style".

That's the Wizengamot!

This name I had only heard of in books and newspapers was very powerful in the wizarding world. I never thought that Lin Xia could win a third-level medal at such a young age!

Originally, Lin Xia was a top student in school with excellent grades in all subjects, and the little wizard was already used to it.

Now that the Wizengamot Level 3 Badge has appeared, the little wizard's impression of Lin Xia has risen several levels.

I thought they were just frying fish in the fish pond, but it turns out that if they put them into the sea, they will also become a giant crocodile!
The little wizards clapped their hands happily and exclaimed in surprise. Some even came close to Lin Xia and said something incoherent.

"Senior Lin Xia, how can I become as good as you?"

"Senior Lin Xia, can you share your learning experience with me? My younger brother at home who hasn't started school yet really admires you."

"Lin Xiaxue, can I touch your medal?"

The screaming and noise in the auditorium attracted other professors.

The four deans thought something had happened and quickly walked into the auditorium, "Quiet! Silence! Keep silent!"

Professor McGonagall asked sternly, "What happened? Why are you all making such a fuss?"

A young wizard said excitedly: "Professor, Lin Xia won the third-level medal of the Wizengamot!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the four deans lit up, and even Snape, who usually had a blank expression, couldn't help but look at Lin Xia with admiration.

Sprout hurried to the Hufflepuff table and soon saw the medal hanging on Lin Xia's wizard robe, and couldn't help but smile happily.

"Okay, great!"

Professor McGonagall came over, and a smile appeared on her serious face. "Now that the medal has arrived, it's time to inform you of some things."

Professor Flitwick looked at the medal for a few seconds and said with emotion: "I once received a medal like this, but something happened later and I had to leave the parliament and return the medal.

Lin Xia, you must take good care of this medal and never lose it. This medal is more important than you think."

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly. Professor Flitwick's words were quite meaningful.

Snape said coldly: "Professor Flitwick, you think too highly of her. She just got this medal by luck and doesn't even know the true function of the medal."

Oh wow, this once again emphasizes that this medal is more important than you think.

Snape, who rarely looks so cold, also shows so much importance to the medal.

Professor McGonagall said, "Okay, Lin Xia, come with me to my office. I want to tell you about the arrangements of the Ministry of Magic."

She turned around, deliberately placed the wand at her throat, and used a voice as loud as a bell so that the entire auditorium could hear her.

"Everyone, Lin Xia will hold two important reports at the Ministry of Magic in the near future. If you are interested, you can let your parents go to watch, but you must report to the Ministry of Magic in advance."

A little wizard asked: "Professor, isn't Lin Xia giving a report at Hogwarts?"

Professor McGonagall shook her head. "The knowledge in these two reports is very profound. You can't understand them. Maybe your parents will understand a little bit."

At the Hufflepuff table below, a student from the same house quietly asked Draco.

"Professor McGonagall said we couldn't understand it, but can you understand it?"

Draco shook his head cautiously: "I don't understand either. Those two studies were completed independently by Lin Xia. I only know that they are related to magic runes and alchemy."

"Hiss—it's actually magic runes!"

"Those tadpole-like magic words are like reading a heavenly book to me. Lin Xia can not only understand them, but also make use of them!"

Professor McGonagall announced this and took Lin Xia away without waiting for the students to react.

In the afternoon.

Lin Xia arrived late when the class was halfway through.

This class is Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. They have finished the Red Hat class and started learning to defend against a brand new creature - Kaaba.

This is a reptile that lives in the water. It looks like a scaly monkey with webbed hands. It lurks in the water and is ready to strangle any unsuspecting person wading through its pond.

Professor Lupin took this opportunity to finally teach them an underwater defense spell and an underwater attack spell.

"Water God Cage" and "Water Ice Arrow Attack".

"Report!" Lin Xia arrived at the classroom in the middle of class.

Professor Lupin looked at Lin Xia with his melancholy eyes and said calmly:
"Our outstanding student, winner of the Wizengamot Third Class Medal, and the first little hero to hold a paper conference at the Ministry of Magic is here!"

The little wizard clapped his hands happily. Lin Xia walked in calmly and said, "Professor, you are so kind."

Lupin shook his head: "The Wizengamot medal is not easy to obtain, even if it is only the lowest level three."

He didn't want to talk about it too much, so he said, "In this class we will learn how to eliminate Kaba. Lin Xia, you should know how to resist this creature?"

Lin Xia nodded. "I have reviewed the relevant books for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course in advance and have seen how to deal with this kind of creature."

Lupin: "Then show us the real strength of the outstanding students."

Hermione raised her hand high. She was an excellent student and she also wanted to show her strength, but Professor Lupin did not call on her to demonstrate. (End of this chapter)
