Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Wherever Dumbledore is, there seems to be a calming power.

Many people couldn't figure out what happened at the press conference, and why the scene seemed to be about to collapse...

But as long as Dumbledore was there, they seemed to have found their backbone.

Many wizards had countless doubts in their hearts, but with Dumbledore present, they barely suppressed their uneasiness and listened attentively to Lin Xia standing on the podium and explaining the creative ideas of "Cold Pill" and "Sound Guardian".

Lin Xia stood calmly on the podium, chatting and laughing with the scholars.

Although the venue was somewhat damaged, it did not affect the use of spells such as projection.

Ever since Dumbledore appeared in this space, the venue seemed to be pulled back to reality from the alien space, and magic power naturally flowed in and was no longer difficult to absorb as before.

And while she was explaining, she discovered something.

The press conference site was not cordoned off by closing the door; people from outside could still come in continuously.

After she had been explaining for 20 minutes, other scholars hurriedly pushed the door open and Lin Xia even saw some goblins among them.

There was a house-elf who was very eye-catching, and his appearance attracted many wizards' attention.

This house-elf was dressed meticulously, wearing an exquisite suit, but the style of the clothes was already from the last century, giving him a feeling of being fussy and caring too much about face.

Just like those impoverished nobles.

Although all his wealth has been squandered, he would rather sell his property to maintain his previous exquisite life.

Soon, the paper launch conference ended successfully.

With Dumbledore around, nothing went wrong afterwards, and the dozens of corpses of Death Eaters who would never recover seemed as if they had never appeared.

After the press conference.

Lin Xia greeted the scholars who came one by one and exchanged business cards with each other. Everyone expressed their willingness to communicate with her and hoped that she could write to them.

Lin Xia agreed to all of them for the sake of appearance and said that she would write when she had time.

Finally, the house-elf came over and handed her a business card.

This business card left a deep impression on Lin Xia, because it was the business card of the Black family, but the house-elf used the name of a man called "Regulus Black".

The house elf's name was Kreacher. He said respectfully, "The Black family has always been fond of supporting talented scholars. I hope Witch Linxia can consider the Black family."

Lin Xia glanced at the business card and suddenly said, "Excuse me, I remember that the current heir of the Black family is Sirius Black."

Kreacher's expression turned pale instantly, and his body began to tremble. After a while, he said, "Yes."

Lin Xia narrowed her eyes slightly. "So, in whose name are you coming to see me? Can you represent the Black family? Funding is such a serious matter, so let your master tell me in person."

"Lin Xia!"

Harry and Ron came over and asked her when she would be leaving.

Lin Xia said: "After talking to the last guest, I can leave."

At this time, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts did not leave. They all stayed in the Ministry of Magic. There were always some things that needed to be taken care of.

Harry asked in confusion: "Guests? There's no one in front of you."

Lin Xia turned around and found that Kreacher had disappeared at some point.

Lin Xia said: "It's gone. Didn't you see it just now? It claimed to be the house-elf of the Black family."

Harry's eyes widened slightly, and he said excitedly: "Did I think of that Black? Its owner is——"

"No." Lin Xia interrupted, "Its owner is not Sirius."

The regret on Harry's face was palpable.

……

After the paper release conference.

The professor quickly resolved the matter, walked out of another room, and properly arranged for all the young wizards to take the express train back to Hogwarts.

It was not until they boarded this train that many little wizards came to their senses and felt that they were attending a fake press conference.

"How much did you understand when Lin Xia spoke on stage?"

"Thank you, I know every word she said, but the combination makes no sense."

"What a coincidence, me too, you're not alone."

George and Fred came to find Lin Xia specifically to interview her so that they could write about it in the "Hogwarts New Style" magazine they founded.

George: "What always inspires you to do research?"

Lin Xia: "I have endless curiosity about everything."

Fred commented as he wrote: "Good student standard public answer."

George: "Has the next item been determined? Can you tell us what it is?"

Lin Xia: "A new type of magic wand."

This made the twins very curious.

Both "Cold Pill" and "Voice Guardian" were too far beyond the knowledge that young wizards could access, but they still understood magic wands.

George asked excitedly, "Are you going to improve the wand to make it more compatible with wizard attributes?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "I can't tell you for now. I can only answer you that it's not what you think."

Fred commented: "If this news gets out, it will definitely cause some newspapers to go crazy. They will send many reporters to interview you."

Lin Xia smiled and said, "So I'm only giving you exclusive information. I believe you will protect this source of information, right?"

The twins' eyes flickered slightly, and they looked at each other, seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

What they like to do most is exclusive business!

There is no competition and you can set your own prices!
Finally, the Weasley twins left, and the box where Lin Xia was finally quiet.

Ron looked at the others. He had been distracted since the press conference.
But the conditions of the other friends were not necessarily better than his. They were all a little dazed.

Ron hesitated for a few seconds and asked in a low voice: "Do you remember what happened before the press conference?"

All of a sudden, the other little wizards turned to look at Ron, and he was startled by the enthusiastic looks they saw.

Hermione noticed the movement on the field, and her heart was relieved, as if she had been holding it in for a long time, and she said quickly:

“So you all knew about this, I thought I was the only one who still had memories from before the press conference!
Are those Death Eaters really dead or are they faking their death? And why did the wizard who had fallen to the ground come back to life?
And, that Death Eater with one wing, did she escape in the end? I noticed that Dumbledore didn't look very happy when he checked the ashes."

Harry also breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I was the only one who retained my memories, but it turns out you all did."

Draco said thoughtfully: "But my parents don't seem to know what happened before. I tried to test them, and they thought I was asleep and dreaming."

Ron: "Yes, yes, a lot of people don't know, aren't there Mikel and Neville around us?

I mentioned it to Neville, and he had a blank look in his eyes and asked me what those things were.
How do I know what it is? I just asked him if he remembered it, and he said he had no impression at all! "Lin Xia concluded: "So we are special, and Headmaster Dumbledore has preserved our memories."

Harry: "Why don't we ask the professor?"

Draco rejected it immediately: "What if the professor doesn't have this part of his memory? He sees that we ask strange questions and keeps asking us what to do? Have you found a way to deal with it?"

Harry...Harry had no idea what to do.

Lin Xia said: "No need to guess, Dumbledore will probably come to us again later."

But this time even Lin Xia guessed wrong. Dumbledore did not look for them, and neither did the professor.

Everyone was silent.

If the friends around them hadn't retained that memory, they would even suspect that the memory was just a dream and that they had a nightmare.

Seeing that there was no movement in Hogwarts and everything was calm after the press conference, Lin Xia hurriedly urged them to practice the Patronus Charm.

She herself also put a lot of effort into this spell.

The Patronus Charm belongs to the realm of geniuses, and only a small number of wizards with top magical talent can learn this spell.

It is very picky about the wizard's qualifications.

Even the learning process is nowhere to be found.

They were clearly reciting according to the standard movements and words in the book, but they just couldn't use them. They had already thought about happy things countless times in their minds.

So everyone studied together.

Ron's idea was simple.

"Since there is nothing wrong with the actions and words, it means that my mind is not strong enough, and the thoughts in my head are not happy enough, so I cannot attract and cast the Patronus Charm."

Hermione retorted, "I don't think so. The books say that we only need to think about happy things. Everyone has a different definition of happiness. I can't help but smile when I think of those things. The emotion is enough."

Harry and Draco both sided with Hermione.

In the end, their discussion yielded no results and they looked at Lin Xia again.

Logically speaking, even black magic could not defeat Lin Xia. No matter how powerful the Patronus Spell was, Lin Xia should be able to cast it.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "I think our approach is not right. We should seek external help."

But which professor has so much free time to tutor them?

Wizards are not willing to work overtime for free!
Besides, they are so young, even if they find a professor, the professor may not be willing to teach them.

Draco gave his reason: "The Patronus Charm is an advanced spell and should not be learned by students. We need to find a professor who will not question our inability to learn it."

There was no way Professor Snape would do that. It was good enough that he didn't mock them.

Professor Sprout is better at planting, and even if he encounters danger, he will use his position to overcome the difficulties. There is no way he will help them.

Professor Flitwick is on the list of candidates and can be contacted.

Professor McGonagall is too serious and very particular about rules. It is difficult to get her to help with anything other than Transfiguration, so she is listed as the second choice.

After the discussion, the young wizard went to contact Professor Flitwick first.

Lin Xia and others speculated that the professors’ memories before the press conference had not been cleared.

So after returning from the press conference, even Professor Flitwick, who had been teaching according to the progress, began to jump to offensive magic, wanting the young wizard to learn several common offensive magics to have them to use when encountering danger.

But the effect is not ideal.

Some offensive spells are not as harmful as the evil spells that the little wizard is accustomed to using.

But evil curses can only strike unexpectedly; the only thing that can really cause harm to people is offensive magic.

This lesson teaches "obstacles galore" followed by "shattered into pieces".

Obstacles is more defensive and a bit difficult to learn. As for Shattered to pieces, it is an intermediate spell and even more difficult to learn.

They had already had two classes in a row, but many of the young wizards were making no progress.

After class, Lin Xia and others went to Professor Flitwick's office.

Professor Flitwick was very kind and friendly, and he didn't put on airs with the young wizards. When they arrived, they were already surrounded by young wizards from several academies.

Most of them are from Ravenclaw and Eagle House, and a few are from Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Ravenclaw students like to discuss problems with Professor Flitwick, especially those academic problems that get back to the essence.

Lin Xia listened for a while and felt that if she had not been a variable, Ravenclaw should have been the place with the most research talents.

The Sorting of Hogwarts is not done randomly.

The Sorting Hat brings together little wizards with the same characteristics. Because of their similar personalities, these little wizards can easily get together and become friends.

A good atmosphere will gradually be formed.

Influenced by the atmosphere of the academy, the young wizard will unconsciously become motivated and show the characteristics of his academy.

Ron was getting a little impatient and kicked his legs, making some noise.

After being glared at by Hermione, he immediately became obedient.

After a lot of effort, when the other little wizards had finished asking questions, Lin Xia and the others gathered around.

Professor Flitwick was a little surprised to see them, and said happily:

"It's rare to see you come to see me. Have you encountered any research problems and need my help?"

Lin Xia said, "Professor, we do need your help, but it's not about research, but about a spell."

Professor Flitwick listened patiently.

Lin Xia said: "Do you know the Patronus Charm? We want to learn it."

Professor Flitwick was stunned. "Patronus Charm?"

He shook his head: "This is not an advanced spell that you little wizards can learn. This spell places great emphasis on talent, and the talent of little wizards is most perfect when they grow up. I suggest that you start learning when you grow up."

Lin Xia insisted: "Professor, we just want to learn in advance."

Flitwick looked serious and said, "You may become very dangerous. The backlash from forcing yourself to learn advanced spells is very serious."

It's like asking a weak person to pick up an axe weighing hundreds of kilograms. He won't be able to do it.

Even if you try to pick it up with all your strength, it will only hurt your body.

And I could only pick it up and couldn't use it at all.

Flitwick briefly described the dangers to the young wizards and refused to teach them, saying:

"I hope you can think about it carefully again. If you still want to study, you can come to me at the end of the semester." (End of this chapter)
