Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Compared to Harry and Ron's poor performance, Hermione and Draco's performance was very good.

Hermione was able to conjure up a complete cat, and upon closer inspection, the cat looked very similar to her pet cat.

Draco turned into a lifelike snake. Actually, he wanted to turn into a badger, but the overall structure of a badger is more difficult than that of a snake.

He was able to conjure up a badger, but he couldn't make the badger move flexibly, so he had to resort to conjuring a snake.

Both of these little wizards were so outstanding that Professor McGonagall happily added house points for them, 5 points each.

If Draco and Hermione belong to the first tier, then Lin Xia's Transfiguration is at the top of the big devil level.

Before a more complicated transformation occurred, the little wizard's pitiful and limited judgment was that Lin Xia was on par with Professor McGonagall.

With Lin Xia's current attainments in transfiguration, when it comes to transforming simple living creatures, there seems to be no difference between the two.

Living creatures with complex deformations seem to make no difference.

If you want to judge which of these two people's Transfiguration is better, you have to see how powerful the Transfiguration is that they display.

However, these data can only be obtained in battle, so the little wizards have no way of knowing them. In their minds, Lin Xia is equivalent to Professor McGonagall.

When they saw the badger running around the classroom, jumping and skipping from the beginning of the get out of class until the end of the class, the little wizards looked at Lin Xia with more respect and admiration.

Some wizards in Hufflepuff were not very good at Transfiguration. After class, they came to Lin Xia and carefully asked her if she could teach them how to use Transfiguration better at the tea party during evening self-study.

Lin Xia readily agreed: "I am also a member of Hufflepuff, I am happy to help you."

She smiled in an approachable manner and said: "If I don't have time, I will find a good 'little professor' for you.

However, Transfiguration is easy to learn but difficult to master. In the third year of study, the difficulty of Transfiguration has been increased again. Don't be discouraged if you continue to make no progress.

As long as you work hard and practice seriously, your Transfiguration skills will actually improve every day, but it won’t show up quickly.”

The little wizards from Hufflepuff nodded hurriedly, and the little wizards from other houses who had not yet left couldn't help but feel envious and jealous when they saw this.

Why don’t they have such good classmates?
The students of Slytherin and Ravenclaw could not stand seeing Hufflepuff being treated like this.

You have to know that before Hufflepuff rose to prominence, these two houses were more intelligent and often received extra points in class.

Especially Ravenclaw, they are the embodiment of wisdom!
When the Sorting Hat was judging which house they would enter, it repeatedly said that these students were smarter and more suitable for Ravenclaw.

——Extraordinary wisdom is the most precious wealth of mankind!
The little Ravenclaw wizard hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind and walked over.

It is really hard to catch up with an outstanding student of Lin Xia's level. Instead of thinking about surpassing her, it is better to learn from her experience.

So they also walked over and asked Lin Xia if she could share her learning experience in their common room.

Lin Xia had no objection, but reminded: "Hogwarts generally does not support young wizards to go to other places across colleges. If you really want me to go, you must greet the dean in advance and get approval.

At the same time, I have a suggestion for you. You can set up multiple study groups. Don’t study alone, but study and progress together with friends.

There are many excellent seniors in Ravenclaw. You are staying in the same common room, so you can also muster up the courage to ask them. I believe that the eagles will not be stingy in giving guidance to the young eagles. "

The Slytherin student next to him heard it, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

Even Ravenclaw, who cares most about face and thinks he is the embodiment of wisdom, can bow to Lin Xia. What do Slytherins have to be proud of?

It’s decided. I will give some advice to the class leader tonight. He must come up with a method that can help them learn and improve together!

Otherwise, if this continues, Hufflepuff will definitely become the best student in this year's Hogwarts!
In the past, when people mentioned Hufflepuff, they would say, "Oh, the most mediocre house!"

They don't want to give the title of "mediocre" to Slytherin, which is what the proud snakes would never allow.

Gryffindor students are the most carefree and naturally optimistic, and they are completely unaware of the turbulent atmosphere within the school.
-
Professor McGonagall's office was right next to the Transfiguration classroom. After class, she returned to the office.

Hermione and Ron accompanied Harry to the professor's office.

Professor McGonagall asked in a businesslike manner: "Are you three here to register? You should be able to get the admission tickets given by Lin Xia, right? I suggest that you do not register and give the places to students who need them more."

Harry said nervously and quickly, "No, Professor, we... No, I came here to ask something else."

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised, but her expression didn't change at all, and she still looked very serious in Harry's eyes.

As Harry stuttered out his request, Professor McGonagall's expression changed slightly, from serious to sympathetic, and then back to expressionless.

"Harry, I'm sorry that this happened to you... but you must get your parents' signature to go to Hogsmeade. You can't go without it.

I need to abide by the school's rules, and I can't promise to sign for you privately. What if something dangerous happens..."

Harry left with a frustrated look on his face, and Ron's mood also became very bad.

As they returned to the common room, he muttered to himself that Professor McGonagall was too unkind, but Harry didn't mean it.

Hermione couldn't help but defend Professor McGonagall, "It was fair for the professor to do so. He really didn't have that right."

Ron: "She is the deputy headmaster, how can she not have power? To put it bluntly, she still doesn't want to take Harry with her. It's just Hogsmeade, what can happen..."

"Forget it, Ron," said Harry sadly.

He shrugged and pretended to be indifferent. "Although I can't go over, you will definitely bring me some small gifts from Hogsmeade, right? I'm still waiting for the candies that will make a sizzling sound in Honeydukes."

Ron agreed immediately, "I will buy you a lot."

Hermione had finished her homework. After thinking it over, she decided to go to the laboratory. Ron and Harry were still finishing their homework and did not go with her.

In the laboratory.

Hermione told Linxia and Draco, and they went to Professor McGonagall to ask for leniency, but Professor McGonagall sternly rejected them.

Draco said, "Professor McGonagall has always been fair and just. She doesn't favor her own house when giving extra points. Maybe she really is doing this for Harry's own good."

Seeing Hermione's eyes flickering, Lin Xia asked her, "Have you thought of other aspects?"

Seeing that her thoughts were guessed, Hermione did not hide it.

"I suspect that Professor McGonagall already knew that Sirius was Harry's adoptive father, otherwise the school wouldn't have allowed Dementors to roam around and monitor.

So from the professor's perspective, she probably doesn't want Harry to leave school, this is to protect Harry."

Lin Xia nodded and said, "This idea is correct. Considering Harry's safety, since he has not obtained the signed consent of his guardian, it would be safer for him to stay in school. However--"

Lin Xia paused, and looked at Hermione. They seemed to have guessed each other's thoughts at this moment, and said in unison:
"Why not find an opportunity for Harry to meet Sirius!" "Huh?" Drat couldn't keep up with the two's thoughts.

"Why allow the two of them to meet if Sirius could be a danger to Harry?"

Hermione said without hesitation: "Because Harry can't hide away forever, and Sirius might have other hidden secrets.

His persistence in finding Harry was known to many people in the wizarding world, and Hogwarts also responded early on.

Even so, he still broke through the blockades and came in. Don’t you think he wanted to convey something?

Whether he will bring good news or bad news, only by meeting him can we know what he really wants to do.

Lin Xia also said: "It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be a thief for a thousand days.

It is better to take the initiative than to be nervous. This is also a good thing for Harry. You can see that he is always out of shape because of Sirius's affairs. "

Hermione looked at Lin Xia with sparkling eyes. She felt that Lin Xia was her soulmate.

She is so amazing, I can always keep up with her thoughts.

"So I decided to quietly help Harry go to Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade is scheduled for next weekend, and we still have time to prepare."

Lin Xia shook her head and said calmly, "No, Hermione, Harry will definitely be watched when he goes to Hogsmeade for the first time, so we can't help him the first time. We can help him the second time."

Hermione said happily: "You still have a way!"

Draco couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait, the premise of you two letting Harry meet Sirius is that Sirius won't hurt Harry. What if he is really a murderer and wants to kill Harry?"

Lin Xia said affirmatively: "So we have to make some preparations. It seems that Sirius is in the dark and we are in the open, very passive, but in fact we are the ones who control the right to speak."

Hermione and Lin Xia looked at each other and said in unison, "Magic Rune!"

……

Professor Trelawney has been in a lot of trouble lately.

Her two new disciples brought her new troubles!
She didn't care and only charged 10 gold Galleons for teaching the two people.

The cost of materials for one class alone would cost about 3 to 5 gold Galleons, so she really didn't make much money!

If it weren't for the fact that these two students were good at talking and looked pitiful, and she was an honest fortune teller, Trelawney would have wanted to quit.

Thinking of this, Traurin burped, as if he had a three-day hangover.

George and Fred kept saying nice things about her, saying how pitiful she was, so she wanted to get a job to subsidize her life.

Trelawney was very upset. The price of 10 gold Galleons was already very low and it couldn't go any lower. If it went any lower, she wouldn't even be able to afford a bottle of wine. She also said so.

George and Fred looked at each other and forced a pitiful smile on their faces.

Trelawney thought that this smile was so similar to that of the dwarf profiteer who always sold her things.

George: "Professor, we have inquired about some things."

Fred: "I heard that every night, every corridor of Hogwarts is patrolled. Students who participate in the patrol can receive generous rewards and can also buy materials from the school at a cheap price."

George: "So, mentor, can you be our referral agent? We really want to make money."

Before Fred could even finish his words, Trelawney immediately shook his head frantically.

"No!" She burped again. The twins seemed to be able to smell what she had eaten yesterday. Oh, it seemed to be the smell of leeks. Did she eat Chinese leek dumplings?

Trelawney said: "That patrol mission is only open to outstanding students. You are not outstanding students and have not been rated by the school. I can't let you participate in such a dangerous mission, hiccup!"

George: "Isn't our performance in class enough to prove our ability?"

Fred: "Teacher, you once praised us for being better than the top students. Some of the top students are just useless."

Trelawney frowned, and even though her head was dizzy, she didn't want to refute what she had said before.

"No, the situation there is different from the normal spell practice." The professor tried to refute.

George: "But we are also very strong. If you don't believe me, you can test us. If the instructor can recommend us, we are willing to pay 10 gold galleons as an introduction fee."

Trelawney's dizzy mind seemed to be injected with a cool breath. His heavy head quickly began to calculate, and his slightly closed eyes concealed the brilliance of his constant calculations.

But she still said, "10, no no no, that won't work, no..."

“The price is too low,” she muttered.

George and Fred looked at each other and quickly suppressed the excitement in their eyes.

There is a play!

George looked embarrassed. "Teacher, we can only afford 10 gold galleons. This is our savings over the years. After giving it to you, we may not even be able to pay for the next class."

Fred: "Teacher, my poor brother is still wearing old clothes. My poor parents have to raise us brothers. They haven't gone shopping for a long time. She even lost her favorite activity of playing cards..."

Trelawney felt sorry for them and wanted to agree immediately, but this familiar scene made her a little cautious and she did not agree immediately.

She shook her head: "No, only 10, no..."

George said with great pain, "How about this, Professor? I will sell everything I have and borrow 10 gold Galleons from my classmates. I will give you 20 gold Galleons as a referral fee. No more. If you don't agree, I will go find another professor."

Trelawney said quickly, "I promise."

twin:……

Even though I had expected this, I didn't expect Trelawney to agree so quickly.

As if she was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, Trelawney cut the Gordian knot and said, "I will take you there tonight. You should prepare yourself and show your best strength."

After the twins left the office, Traurin whistled happily. She thought about what she could buy with these 20 gold galleons...

Maybe, she could buy a few bottles of delicious wine to collect.
