Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Lin Xia and others, whom Harry was thinking about, had already arrived at Hogsmeade Village and were exclaiming in amazement.

The little wizards all felt that the sky here seemed bluer than that at Hogwarts.

But in fact, Hogwarts Village is not far from Hogwarts. The reason why the scenery seems more beautiful is entirely due to my mood.

Professor McGonagall was maintaining order at the front. She divided the little wizards into several lines and stood at the front to give them instructions.

"You can only play for four hours, and you must gather here at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Students who fail to arrive on time will not be allowed to enter Hogsmeade next time. Remember to arrive on time!"

“Don’t touch the horror facilities here, such as the Screaming Shack. If you faint, no one will immediately treat you.

The locals will just laugh at you and take pictures of you fainting, and then sell you at a high price when you wake up, if you don’t want to leave a black history.”

Professor McGonagall gave a lot of precautions, and finally, seeing that the little wizard was getting a little impatient, she put her wand to his throat and used the magic "Sound like a Bell" -

"Stay safe, and welcome to Hogsmeade! Come in, little wizard!"

"Oh yeah!!!"

The young wizards cheered and swarmed into the village.

The village, which was originally very spacious, suddenly seemed a bit crowded after this wave of little wizards entered.

Professor McGonagall stood outside and took a look, but did not go in.

She had been to Hogsmeade many times, and the shops inside had no appeal to her.

Sprout said something to the other headmasters and walked into Hogsmeade.

A new batch of materials she had ordered had arrived in the village, waiting to be sent to Hogwarts by owl.

Given the efficiency of the owl postman, Sprout decided to pick it up in person.

Outside the village, Professor Flitwick thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to go in and buy a few books. I'll be gone for about an hour."

Professor McGonagall nodded: "Don't worry, we will guard the door."

After Professor Flitwick left, McGonagall looked at Snape. She remembered that every time he came to Hogsmeade, Snape would go in to purchase a large number of potions.

It was said that these potions were needed by the school for the young wizards to use in class, and that Huo could get a cheaper price by purchasing them in bulk in Gmode Village.

Mag asked, "You're not going in?"

Snape did not answer, but asked: "Why did you let Harry and the others go to Lupin to learn the Patronus Charm?"

Professor McGonagall's expression was serious, "Nothing, I just think they should study.

Whether we accept it or not, we cannot deny that Hogwarts is becoming increasingly dangerous, and I hope they will be able to protect themselves as soon as possible."

Snape snorted.

"The way to protect themselves is not to let young wizards learn difficult advanced spells, but to hone their physiques and train their combat skills. It is best to let them form their own combat system."

He said bluntly: "Even many high-level wizards may not be able to learn the advanced spell like the Patronus Charm. You are harming Harry and the others by asking them to learn it!"

In Snape's eyes, instead of spending so much time learning the Patronus Charm, it would be better to spend the time on other things and achieve better results.

Mag was silent.

After a while, she said, "Snape, you can't deny that some geniuses exist.

I am well aware of the difficulty of the Patronus Charm, so I think they can learn it. They are the most talented young wizards I have ever seen.

I think with their talent, they can easily overcome other difficulties.”

Snape's face was as gloomy as water.

"It's up to you. If it delays their studies and they can't learn the Patronus Charm in a year, I will report it to Dumbledore and ask them to learn other spells!"

He said this and walked away quickly with big strides.

Use this action to express your dissatisfaction.

Mag looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh.

She knew she was anxious, and she also knew what Snape really wanted to say.

Snape didn't think Harry and the others could learn the Patronus Charm within a year, so he wanted to teach them other combat skills so that they could grow faster.

But Professor McGonagall also has her own ideas.

She thought that it was just an ordinary crisis and Harry and his friends could handle it with their quick response.

Only when we encounter a more serious crisis can we not solve it on our own.

And if we really encounter a major crisis, they may not be able to help much.

In this case, it is better to learn the Patronus spell, at least to protect yourself.

Snape wanted them to be better prepared for changes, but Professor McGonagall was focusing on higher crises and wanted them to prepare as soon as possible.
-
"Wow! What a huge piece of honey sizzle! How did he manage to hang such a big candy on the sign?"

Ron's mouth opened in shock.

He leaned over curiously and gently touched the huge, lifelike candy with his hand.

Unexpectedly, the feeling under his palm was just like eating candy, which made Ron stunned.

"Could it be real candy?" This thought popped into his mind.

Ron put his palm to his mouth and licked it gently, and he really tasted a hint of candy sweetness from it.

Ron exclaimed even more exaggeratedly, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Hermione rolled her eyes several times and whispered, "Ron, pay attention to your image. You look like you haven't had candy since you were a child."

Ron pointed at other young wizards in the distance and said, "Their reactions are even more exaggerated than mine. If you want to lecture them, go talk to them!"

Ron was the first to enter the candy store.

Hermione stamped her feet and went in as well.

Lin Xia and Draco looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, and followed each other in.

Lin Xia asked: "Is it my illusion? Ron and Hermione have been arguing with each other recently."

Draco hummed, "Ron thinks Hermione is hiding something from him, and she's always elusive in class.

But when he asked Hermione in private, she said nothing and only said that she was right next to them, but he didn't see her.

That's why Ron has been angry with Hermione recently and is always arguing with her."

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "Besides this incident, before that, Ron and Hermione also liked to argue with each other."

She couldn't help laughing and said, "Maybe this is the way they get along."

Draco suddenly sighed softly at this moment.

Lin Xia looked over, thought of something, and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Draco shook his head: "No."

There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and even he himself couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Draco said, "Forget it, let's go shopping." Honeydukes' candy store was indeed as famous as it was said to be. There were all kinds of candies here, far more than what was sold in the school grocery store, and they were also beyond the reach of the carts on the train.

This shop is very popular among little wizards, so the things sold here also tend to cater to the little wizards' aesthetic tastes.

They saw candies shaped like the Golden Snitch.

This candy was locked in a transparent window, flying from one end to the other from time to time, and occasionally becoming invisible, just like the real Golden Snitch.

Several little wizards leaned over to look, their faces almost pressed against the glass.

"This is definitely not candy, the store manager put a real golden snitch in it!"

"I agree!"

"I also think so!"

There was a waiter standing next to the window, who asked with a smile if he wanted to open the window to confirm, but it would cost one silver Sickle to open it each time.

The waiter said, "We have special candies with the Golden Snitch in the store, but we also have real Golden Snitch. We decide which one to display based on our mood. Do you think this is the real Golden Snitch?"

If you guess correctly, you will be rewarded with a random candy, and if you guess wrong, you will pay a silver Sickle. "

The other young wizards were about to nod when Ron's voice suddenly interrupted.

"Don't lift it, it's a fake snitch, there's real candy inside!"

Several wizards turned to look, and even the waiter set his eyes on Ron.

Ron was a little anxious. It was the first time he had gained other people's attention on his own, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

Ron said: "You have never come into contact with a real golden snitch. Its wings are not as big as the ones here. They are very slender and transparent.

The display in the window is obviously filled with candy, the wings are a bit too big, and if you look closely, the patterns are simple, without too complicated details, but the craftsmanship of the Golden Snitch is not that simple. "

The waiter smiled and said: "Congratulations, you got it right!"

The waiter gave Ron a prize because he mentioned all the key points.

Ron couldn't wait to open it and found a lifelike golden snitch candy inside!
Lin Xia had good eyesight and saw the price of the Golden Snitch candy in the distance. She said, "Ron, you're really lucky. The Golden Snitch candy is sold for 1 gold Galleon!"

Ron looked a little excited, and his breathing became rapid again.

He wants to eat the candy now!
But he didn't know what he was thinking of, so he carefully put the candy away and said, "I'll take it back and eat it with Harry."

Lin Xia felt that Ron was very nice to Harry and was much more considerate than they thought.

In addition to the Golden Snitch displayed in the window at the entrance of the store, there are also rainbow candies, caterpillar candies, popping candies that make crackling sounds in the mouth when taken, and chocolate eggs of various shapes.

Oh, and they also saw the honey candy that Hagrid mentioned, which was made from the slime of Billywig worms.

It is said that the slime of Billywig worms is addictive, and candy manufacturers add this slime just to make little wizards eat it every day.

Lin Xia bought a few and ate one. She didn't feel anything, just a slight sweetness. But the juice inside was quite delicious.

What she is most interested in is the "emotional experience candy". The candy is in the shape of a cube. When taken, it melts in the mouth instantly, and then one can feel the four flavors of "sour, sweet, bitter and spicy".

As the taste changed, her emotions were also aroused a little.

However, this kind of incitement is not worth mentioning in the face of Lin Xia's physique.

Lin Xia threw the emotional experience candy upwards and thought this direction was quite interesting, using taste to stimulate emotions.

She suddenly had an idea: could she make a candy that was as effective as truth serum?

People don't need to take the drug to tell the truth, but some kind of punishment can be imposed on those who tell lies.

For example, once you lie, you will laugh non-stop, or your body will become itchy and painful, etc.

Lin Xia smiled gently. This research was interesting just by thinking about it.

After leaving Honeydukes candy store, they came to Hermione's favorite bookstore.

The bookstore here is also very magical. There are many books that are very similar to monster books. These books have their own temperaments and must be opened in specific ways.

While Hermione was looking for a book, Lin Xia went to chat with the clerk and gave him some honey candy.

The clerk smiled very happily and said attentively: "Little wizard, I haven't eaten candy for a long time. The candy you gave me is very delicious. If you have any books you want to read, I will help you find them."

Lin Xia shook her head: "Don't bother, I'll find it myself. Has anything interesting or strange happened in the store recently?"

Her mind was slightly moved and she asked casually.

The clerk thought she liked listening to stories and told several of them.

"Last month, the store manager received a batch of invisibility books. Those books recorded a lot of magic that was very useful in battle, including both offensive and defensive magic. For the sake of confidentiality, they were sealed with an invisible cover.

I advised the store manager that Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley had received a batch of goods earlier, thinking they would sell well. However, when they went to move the goods downstairs, they couldn't even find the books!
If the shipment hadn’t been confirmed, Flourish and Blotts would have thought the publisher was playing a trick on them, so I told the store manager not to go in.”

Lin Xia continued to ask: "Did you get in in the end?"

The clerk shrugged: "Not only did he get it in, he also lost it! If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten it in. Invisible books aren't that easy to sell!"

The clerk suddenly thought of something and said, "There were ghost howling sounds in the Shrieking Shack yesterday. It seemed like there were real wolves in there. You'd better not go there."

Lin Xia wrote it down.

She walked to one of the rows of bookshelves and across from her was Hermione.

Hermione had already picked out a book that was thicker than her head and was flipping through it carefully.

Lin Xia didn't want to buy a book, but seeing that even the most unreliable Ron picked up a copy of "Collection of Jokes", she also reached out and casually pulled a book from the bookshelf.

She opened the cover of the book carelessly, looked down, and suddenly her pupils shrank slightly -

Soul Remodeling

Lin Xia's heart was pounding and she felt something was not real.

Just by seeing the title of the book, a burst of dense information came into her mind, all about the content of "Soul Reshaping Method".

Lin Xia confirmed that she had encountered a magical book!
Normally, this kind of book would only appear in the restricted books section.

But some books are special or lucky enough not to be disturbed by the evil god's whispering, and can freely enter and exit the restricted book area or library.

Yes, free access.

There are no human constraints on where these books want to go.

It can appear in front of someone who doesn't want it at all, prompting a wizard to embark on this path, or it can appear in front of someone who desires it...

Get a better understanding of the mysteries of the soul!

At the beginning, Lin Xia asked Professor McGonagall whether the state of the soul could be changed from one form to another after it was cut out.

Professor McGonagall said that her idea was very dangerous and did not recommend her to do related experiments now, as she would not be able to control it.

She gave some research directions, one of which was to find books of this type and get methods directly from the books.

Lin Xia still remembers what Professor McGonagall said. This kind of book will appear in front of the wizard when he wants it to appear.
