Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Professor McGonagall was not without doubts about Mikel's sudden surge in Transfiguration talent, but she chose not to let Mikel demonstrate it in public.

This hurts the students' self-esteem a bit.

After all, Mikel looks so confident.

After the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall called Mikel and said, "Mickel, come to my office with me. I have something to tell you."

Ron looked back, then continued to follow the crowd out, lowering his voice and saying:

"I guarantee that Professor McGonagall must have asked Mickle to demonstrate Transfiguration in front of her.

We just had a Transfiguration class a few days ago, and we know Mikkel's basics, so how come his talent has increased so much after just one trip to Hogsmeade? There must be something fishy going on here!"

"Hogsmeade?" Harry asked suddenly.

He has been a little sensitive to this word recently.

"Is there any magical item in Hogsmeade that can change a wizard's Transfiguration talent?"

Hermione said speechlessly: "It's not our turn to have such a good thing, but it's his turn?"

Ron scratched his head and said, "Harry, Hogsmeade is a place where people sell things. The streets inside are all commercial streets, nothing special.

You can think of it as Diagon Alley, only not as narrow."

Harry looked at Lin Xia and Draco and asked, "Is there really nothing that can change a wizard's qualifications?"

Draco frowned, "There should be. The wizarding world is so big. Just because we don't know about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Lin Xia answered with certainty: "Yes!"

She looked at Harry, "And you've experienced it, too."

Harry looked confused.

Lin Xia reminded him: "Have you forgotten? The phoenix Fawkes that Headmaster Dumbledore raised once brought you strength. With Fawkes' blessing, your physical fitness has improved a lot."

Having said that, Lin Xia looked at Ron again.

"You have also tasted the fiery red potion I gave you. Although it is spicy, it is very refreshing. That potion can also slightly change the wizard's qualifications and strengthen the body.

The first time you took it, the effect should have been obvious."

Ron's mouth twitched slightly, thinking of the nightmare he had taken at that time.

His whole body was red for days, and he felt as if a ball of fire was stuffed into his mouth, and even his chest seemed to be burning.

When I feel uncomfortable, I really want to cut open my body and take out the fire inside!
Ron said, "Harry, you mean the Transfiguration gift, is there anything that can change that?"

Lin Xia pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "In theory, the talent for transfiguration is also a kind of magical talent.

I haven't heard of any item that can change a certain talent, but if it is aimed at improving magical aptitude, there are some potions and magical plants that can do that.

But those are extremely precious and far beyond the reach of little wizards like us. I’m afraid only a great wizard like Dumbledore can easily find them.”

Neville walked up to them at some point, heard their discussion, and interrupted:
"Maybe it's just that he suddenly got it, just like me.

In my first and second years, I found it very difficult to learn spells, but in my third year, I suddenly found that learning spells was very simple. "

The other young wizards looked over.

Lin Xia said: "Neville, your situation is that your magical talent is gradually being developed, and Mikel is of course also in this situation.

But his Transfiguration skill increased too fast. Even for you, learning spells is very simple now, but it is a gradual change. But it is not the case for Mikel. He soared into the sky. "

Ron suddenly started to think conspiratorially, muttering, "Neville, you have to be careful of Mikel. I always feel that his skyrocketing talent for Transfiguration is not normal."

Neville frowned and said angrily: "I don't allow you to say that about my friend!"
-
[Neville's favorability towards you is slowly increasing]

Mikel walked into Professor McGonagall's office, and suddenly a system reminder popped up in front of him.

He was a little surprised.

I used to be with Neville every day, but I didn't see any change in my favorability towards him.

Now that we're separated, the favorability level has increased. Why is that?
"Mikel, use the Transfiguration you just performed in class in front of me. I want to see the changes myself."

Mikel thought to himself: The real test is coming!

He said, "Of course, Professor."

Mikkel lowered his head and saw a book called "Elementary Transfiguration" on his desk.

He waved his wand, and magic power poured out from the wand and fell onto the textbook very smoothly.

Gradually, the textbook changed shape rapidly, and soon the general outline of a squirrel was formed.

Seeing this step, Professor McGonagall nodded secretly.

Based on this book alone, she was able to analyze that this young wizard had a smooth transmission of magical power and a profound foundation in Transfiguration.

If nothing goes wrong later, the transformation will be successful.

Professor McGonagall looked up at Mickle again.

Therefore, this student's talent for Transfiguration did suddenly increase a lot.

Although no one knew how he did it, it was the student's own secret and McGonagall had no intention of exploring it.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Mikkel finally transformed into the squirrel in the classroom. When he was about to transform into the wheel, Mag said:

“Okay, Mikkel, I’ve confirmed that your Transfiguration talent has improved, congratulations!

Your current talent for Transfiguration is comparable to that of a graduate. If you want to do some research in the field of Transfiguration, you can come to me every Wednesday night and I will give you some advice. "

Mikel said excitedly: "Thank you, Professor!"

Wasn't it just for this moment that he chose to display his talents in front of so many young wizards and attract the professor's attention?

Let the professor teach him everything he knows!

Before Mikel left, he suddenly thought of something, hesitated, and turned to look at Professor McGonagall.

"Professor, can I ask you a question?"

Professor McGonagall had put on her glasses and was correcting papers with her automatic quill rustling around her body.

After just a short absence, she was surrounded by a dozen different documents.

This excellent ability to control distraction made Mikel very envious. When would he be able to reach this level?
Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "What's the problem?"

Mikkel: "I want to know if my current Transfiguration is very different from Lin Xia's?"

Professor McGonagall: "I suggest you not seek the answer to this question."

"Professor McGonagall, I want to know," Mickle said firmly.

Professor McGonagall sighed.

Forget it, competing with each other in knowledge and talent is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Not even close." She said politely.

Mikel: "...Can I catch up with her in this year? If I study as hard as I can."

Professor McGonagall: "I'm afraid not."

Mikel asked unwillingly, "Then it should be okay in the seventh year, right?"

Professor McGonagall sighed again: "Mickle, the difference between you and Lin Xia is not a matter of hard work, but a matter of talent.

Each of us is born with a magic talent. Although it can be changed through certain resources, the difference in innate talent is far from being matched by later development. Hogwarts may not be able to produce someone with Lin Xia's talent in fifty years. Why bother to compare with such a person?"

As if to make Mikel give up, Professor McGonagall revealed another piece of information.

"Do you know why we describe Lin Xia as a little wizard that appears once every 50 years?

Because at this level of a hundred years, there is a mysterious person blocking it, and I believe you have all heard of the mysterious person's talent."

Another demon king!
This was the only thought in Mikel's mind.

This devil does not refer to Voldemort, but Lin Xia.

In the eyes of the professors, is Lin Xia's magical talent second only to Voldemort?
After Mikel walked out of the office, his brows suddenly frowned, with confusion in his eyes.

But that’s not right. I haven’t heard that Lin Xia is very talented in magic.

She just always learned spells faster than the little wizard, and excelled in her research field.

Thinking of this, Mikel felt that the gap between him and Lin Xia might not be endless.

He doesn't need to do research, as long as he can defeat the opponent in battle.

Mikel regained his confidence.
-
During lunch break at noon.

Lin Xia and others ran to the laboratory.

They don't take a lunch break and use the extra time to do experiments.

After Draco's instruction last night, Harry and Ron were able to enter the laboratory and help Draco collect data.

This freed up Hermione's productivity.

So Hermione got together with Lin Xia again to discuss more about the magical candy that would punish lying.

They are already discussing what kind of magic plant to use to make it. You can refer to the ingredient list of the truth serum for this.

Speaking of which, the wizarding world has strict control over advanced potions, but not so strict over the recipes of potions.

At least in Hogwarts, it is very easy to know the recipes of advanced potions such as Veritaserum and Felixir.

Even their Potions classes do not teach students how to make these potions.

Lin Xia suddenly thought that the wizarding world was probably very strict in obtaining the raw materials for the formula, so they were able to control the circulation of high-level potions on the market.

Hermione asked, "Linxia, ​​we should come up with a name for this new type of candy."

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "Why not call it 'Lie Punishment Candy'? It's simple, crude and direct."

Hermione frowned slightly, not looking very satisfied, "Too ordinary."

Lin Xia: "What do you want to be called?"

Hermione thought about it for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She said, "How about calling it 'Ghost Candy'?"

"Nonsense?" Lin Xia repeated it, feeling it was a bit interesting.

He talks a lot of nonsense and nonsense.

"It's suitable for those who like to lie. Let's see how they can lie."

The more lies you tell, the more we will sanction you.

In the laboratory.

Ron was still talking about Mikel's sudden increase in Transfiguration talent.

Draco finally realized that Ron's muttering was not because of gossip, but because of jealousy!

Draco asked, "If there really was a magic potion that could enhance your talent, what would you do?"

Ron: "I will definitely take it. Who doesn't want to be a genius? No little wizard wants to be mediocre."

Draco shrugged: "But being a genius is not necessarily a good thing, because you will find that there are always people in this world who are more talented than you.

When you think you are a genius, you are actually just a little smarter than a fool.

When you think you’ve reached the top, you’re actually just wandering in the valley somewhere.”

He patted Ron on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Ron, the wizarding world is big, but also small. Different powers do different things. It's not good for you to know too much.

Similarly, if you have not been a genius since childhood, and suddenly become a genius one day, other people may not accept it, and you may not be able to accept the life of a genius. "

Ron said in a daze, "Why can't you accept the life of a genius?"

Draco: "Because a true genius would have shown his talent at a very young age and knew what he wanted to do.

Only a genius in disguise, even if he is lucky enough to set foot in a certain field, will eventually be defeated by a true genius. "

Ron thought Draco was being roundabout.

It was not until they finished the experiment and went to Potions class together that Ron had the opportunity to quietly tell Harry what Draco had said at noon.

Ron asked, "Do you feel anything strange?"

Harry thought for a moment, "No, I don't understand."

Ron: "It's easy, just put yourself in Mikel's shoes.

The fake genius he mentioned was Mikel, and he also said that Mikel could not adapt to the life of a genius and would be defeated by the real genius, that is, Lin Xia. "

Ron analyzed, "Wait, why do I feel that Draco dislikes Mikel? Why does he think Mikel is a fake genius?

Besides, Mick didn’t find any fault with Lin Xia, so why was he defeated by Lin Xia?
Does Draco think that one day in the future, the two of them will come into conflict?"

Harry thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Ron, are you doing well in your Divination class recently?"

Ron: "Divination? I don't know the results, but in the last few days of classes, I can understand what Professor Trelawney is saying."

Harry: "Well, no wonder your words sound like divination."

Ron was speechless. "I was clearly analyzing it very seriously."

Harry also figured it out.

Ron was very upset about Mikel's sudden increase in talent. He couldn't understand how Mikel did it.

Harry couldn't figure it out either.

But he chose not to think about it if he couldn't figure it out. At least in this matter, Harry felt that it had nothing to do with him.

Instead of having this time to analyze and think, he would rather use it to figure out how to win the Quidditch game.

When I arrived at the Potions classroom, Professor Snape was already there.

He stood on the podium, staring coldly at every little wizard who came in, like a gloomy and cold snake king.

The little wizard was chatting and laughing in the corridor, but as soon as he entered the classroom, he immediately shrank back and became silent.

Even after three years of being taught Potions by Professor Snape, many young wizards still cannot adapt to the cold gaze of the Snake King.

Fortunately, Harry and Ron did not cross the line to enter the classroom, so Snape did not have the opportunity to attack.

But they don't cross the line, but some people do.

Not only did he step on the line, but he also waited until the bell rang before entering the classroom.

That person is Mikel. (End of this chapter)
