Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Lin Xia walked along this remote street and suddenly stopped somewhere.

She found a perfect ambush location.

This is also a villa, but it is obviously an abandoned house. The door is covered with spider webs, indicating that no one has visited for a long time.

The iron lock on the door had already rusted. Lin Xia reached out and twisted it gently, and the iron lock broke into two pieces.

She still managed to control her strength.

If she really used a little force, the entire lock would be crushed into powder in her palm.

As Lin Xia walked along, she found that there were many abandoned houses on this street in Hogsmeade village.

But from a geographical point of view, this street is actually not remote in the village.

Logically speaking, it could be planned to be included in the central area, but I don’t know why it is so remote in reality.

She didn't go into the house, but went to the backyard.

There is a tall wall in the backyard and a dirty and smelly pond.

There were clumps of mud near the edge of the pond, with a few bunches of withered magic plants scattered on them.

This place should have been planned by the owner to be a magic plant garden, but no one has taken care of it for a long time, so it has become withered and dilapidated.

But this place was obviously very friendly to Lin Xia, because it was messy and smelly enough to make it easy to destroy the body.

Suddenly, Lin Xia's ears twitched slightly, and she heard a barely perceptible sound of footsteps.

Someone was gradually approaching her.

Lin Xia suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from. There was a pond there, empty and withered, with only a few withered lotus leaves standing there.

It was obvious that the wizard who came here used an invisibility spell to hide his figure.

Afterwards, she didn't hear any movement, so she turned her head to look to the other side, but in fact her mind was always listening to the direction where the sound came from.

the other side.

The wizard hiding in the dark was shocked when he suddenly saw Lin Xia turning her head!
Did Lin Xia discover him?

But how is this possible?

No matter how powerful Lin Xia is, she is just a little witch!

Then Lin Xia turned her head and looked to another place. Her eyes were also calm and deep, as if wrapped in a kind of magic.

The wizard couldn't help but feel relieved. He was indeed a scholar who did research. He had such a sharp eye for everything.

He approached Lin Xia gently and waved his wand.

According to his idea, he still wanted to tie Lin Xia up.

Lin Xia is a research wizard, and in addition to being a Death Eater, he is also a researcher in the wizarding world.

He was very envious of Lin Xia's research ideas, and was very curious about how she came up with those research results that sounded so fantastic.

He wanted Lin Xia to survive, partly for public reasons and partly for personal reasons.

The reason is that even if the wizarding world is controlled by Voldemort, the development of magical technology will continue.

If they could get Lin Xia to surrender to Voldemort, they would have an extra powerful member in their team.

He believed that a research genius like Lin Xia would definitely be able to achieve some results if she wanted to change her research direction to making people degenerate into weirdness.

His selfish motive was that if Lin Xia refused to become a Death Eater, he would extract all of Lin Xia's research and obtain the exclusive formula secret.

By then, the "Cold Pill", "Sound Guardian", "Natural Wand" and "Magnetic Wand" that are popular in the wizarding world will become exclusive items that only he can make!

He can earn a lot of gold galleons from this!
As long as you have enough money, why not escape from the UK and go to another country?
Voldemort can't control the Ministry of Magic of other countries!

The wizard thought so in his mind and couldn't help but complain about his companions who were connected through remote communication.

"They are all a bunch of fools without foresight. No wonder they were sent here to carry out the mission. They are a bunch of cannon fodder who can only charge forward, have no brains, and die the fastest!"

The wizard quietly approached Lin Xia, and when he was at a safe distance, he quickly waved his wand -

"Cage of Thorns!"

A ferocious look flashed across the wizard's face. This place was perfect for him to ambush Lin Xia.

However, the next second, the expression on the wizard's face froze.

When he was halfway through swinging his arm, it was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the spell he thought he had just recited was also grabbed by the throat, so he couldn't utter it.

The wizard's eyes widened as an indescribable pain came over him. He seemed to hear the sound of his body joints cracking!
Where does this sound come from?

Oh, it seems to come from him!

As soon as this thought flashed through the wizard's mind, Lin Xia had already twisted his head off, and his arms were also in a twisted state.

Lin Xia didn't turn her head to look at him the whole time. She just casually stretched out a hand, first breaking his arm and then strangling his throat.

Only after the adult wizard fell silent did Lin Xia turn around.

If the wizard was still alive, he would be shocked again, because Lin Xia didn't even open his eyes!

Fearing interference from other senses, Lin Xia closed her eyes and blocked the perception of other senses, leaving only the sense of hearing.

With her enhanced hearing sense using the "supersensory spell", she could not only detect footsteps, but even hear the wizard's breathing.

Just by the sound, she accurately determined the enemy's position.

Lin Xia shook off the wizard's corpse and moved his wrists, making a few crisp clicking sounds.

With the wizard dead, the invisibility spell wore off, and an adult wizard appeared before her.

Lin Xia frowned slightly, a little confused. Why is this person so weak?
Once again refreshed her impression of the "Crispy Wizard".

Maybe it was because she walked to the other side, the spell used by the wizard was not the same as what Fuqi saw.

The magic spell seen in Fuqi is a fatal move. If you use it, you will basically not survive.

But she was prepared in advance.

If the wizard still intends to use that kind of spell, she will directly use the [Damage Transfer] magic ring given to her by Professor Babeling to transfer the spell to the caster.

What was originally a fatal move for other wizards finally came back to haunt him.

Lin Xia thought that if she used that kind of spell, it would save a lot of trouble.

At least she didn't have to deal with the body herself, unlike now, where she had to find a way to destroy the body.

She thought she was going to have a fierce battle, but she didn't expect the wizard to approach her and try to capture her.

She broke it with just a casual move.

This prevented Lin Xia from implementing all the methods that she had carefully prepared.

It's a little regrettable.

Lin Xia looked at the corpse for a few seconds and snapped his fingers: "Flames are blazing!"

Red-orange flames suddenly appeared on the body, then gradually turned into dark blue, and finally into a bright green.

She did not expand the power of "Flame Rage". This spell only emitted normal high-temperature flames.

The reason why the color of the flame changed was simply because it touched something on the wizard's body.

The last glimmer of green flame had obviously come into contact with something poisonous.

Lin Xia nodded involuntarily. Death Eaters are worthy of being Death Eaters. If left alone, this corpse might become the source of poison gas.

Casting the spell silently and without a wand, a transparent tornado suddenly rose from the flames, burning the green embers even more vigorously.

In the end, not even a trace of dust was left on the corpse, and it completely disappeared from the wizarding world.

At this time, the voices of Ron and Hermione also came from afar.

"Lin Xia, where are you? Please answer if you hear me!"

"Lin Xia! Lin Xia!"

Ron said helplessly: "Originally only Mikel was lost, how come Lin Xia is also missing now?"

Hermione said calmly: "Lin Xia is different from Mikel, Mikel may do stupid things, but Lin Xia will never do that.

Moreover, Lin Xia is so strong that even if she encounters a crisis, she will be able to solve it herself."

Ron glanced at Hermione and said, "I thought you wouldn't admit that Lin Xia is excellent and that you must be better than her in everything."

Hermione looked at her strangely: "Why compare yourself to someone who is incomparable?

Lin Xia's talent in magic is much better than mine. If we have to compare, we should compare it with people who are similar to me, such as Draco.

Besides, admitting that Lin Xia is excellent doesn’t mean that I am not excellent.”

She puffed out her chest slightly and said proudly, "I am now an excellent student, too. Not many wizards can achieve this in their third year!"

Lin Xia thought for a moment, performed a "phantom shift", and came from the villa to the corner of the street ahead.

She walked a few steps forward and came to another street. She turned around and saw Hermione and Ron.

"Lin Xia!"

Hermione's eyes lit up, and she rushed over and asked, "What happened to you? I can't see you all of a sudden."

Lin Xia shook her head: "Nothing, I was standing outside and saw a little wizard flash past me. The figure looked a bit like Mikel, so I chased after him."

Ron: "Did you catch him?"

Lin Xia shook her head again: "No, not only did I fail to catch up with him, I also lost him."

Ron: "Then let's look for it together. Don't separate to avoid any accidents."

He was not originally worried about any safety issues in Hogsmeade village, but when he thought of the house-elf named "Kreacher", he was an elf from the Black family!
Sirius Black is a legendary murderer who is responsible for the lives of more than 40 wizards.

Ron felt a chill at the thought of this.

"Ron, Hermione, Lin Xia!"

Just as they walked out of this remote street, they heard Neville's voice. They turned around and saw Neville running towards them.

After a while, two people ran up to them, panting.

Neville said: "No, no need to look for him, Mikel, Mikel is back!
Mikkel took the initiative to find Professor McGonagall and said that he had not caught up with the house-elf, so he ran away to play. "

Neville took a breath and continued, "He heard his classmates say we were looking for him, so he hurried over."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay."

They slowly returned to the village gate. It was getting close to the gathering time. They saw Mick chatting with other little wizards and explaining something.

"Neville is really making a fuss out of nothing. I don't know the house elf. I just wanted to help him."

“I think he was mistaken, that’s not the Black family’s elf at all!

We have only seen Sirius's appearance in the newspaper, but we don't know what the family's house-elf looks like!"

"I was just leaving for a while, who knew something like this would happen? You guys didn't even have time to go shopping, and now you all come to find me!"

With these words, Mikel pushed all the problems onto Neville.

Neville had a dull expression, his lips slightly parted, and he didn't know how to explain.

Lin Xia spoke up at this time: “Mickle, the one who said that the house-elf was from the Black family was not Neville but me.

I have seen this elf before at the paper conference a few days ago. It personally handed me a business card that said "Butler of Black Manor."

Mikel didn't expect that it was Lin Xia who recognized him. He even said what was wrong with Neville!
He hesitated for a few seconds and explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that house elf was so dangerous. If I had known, I would definitely not have chased after him."

Lin Xia said calmly: "You don't have to apologize to me. I'm not the one you should apologize to."

Mikkel looked at Neville, who lowered his head, avoiding his gaze.

Mikel frowned, wondering if his favorability would drop again?

But he didn't hear the system's prompt.

"Alright, little wizards."

Professor McGonagall clapped her hands, interrupting the sudden silence.

"Come closer to me, everyone gather together, it's time for us to go back!" she said.

Several other deans also appeared and began to gather students from their respective colleges.

They returned to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade smoothly.

It was already evening when we got back, just in time for dinner in the auditorium.

Harry was already sitting at the Gryffindor table, eating nonchalantly, trying to act like a normal person.

"Harry!"

"Harry!"

Ron and Hermione trotted over, chattering non-stop.

"I brought back a ton of Honeydukes candy!"

"I also bought you some books!"

Even Lin Xia and Draco prepared gifts for Harry.

Lin Xia gave Harry a small and sharp iron sword.

This is an interesting alchemical item. Once the iron sword is infused with magic power, it will become the size of a real sword.

Lin Xia said: "I heard that Gryffindor is a master of swordsmanship, but I hope you will never need this sword. After all, you will only use it when your wand is lost."

Harry touched the small iron sword and smiled happily: "Thank you, I like this gift very much."

Draco prepared a new Nimbus broom for Harry.

He is a Quidditch enthusiast and hopes that Harry can lead Gryffindor to win a championship this year.

Harry was very surprised and a little overwhelmed when he received this gift.

He never seemed to have given Draco any gifts, except for some holiday greetings.

Ron looked at the broom with envy. It was said that the latest model of broom from the Nimbus Company cost more than 1000 gold Galleons.

A true luxury in the wizarding world!
But he was not jealous. With Harry's strength, he could definitely make the best use of the broom.

Ron suddenly thought of something and took out a "Golden Snitch"!
"Come on, Harry, eat this golden snitch candy. It costs one gold galleon. Come and taste it and see what it tastes like!"

Harry was shocked, this was the first time he had seen candy in this shape.

He broke the Golden Snitch candy and shared it with his friends, "Let's eat it together!" (End of this chapter)
