Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Lupin discovered that every little wizard who saw him looked a little excited.

Not only did they greet him enthusiastically, some of the little wizards even had moist eyes and slightly red eye sockets.

This made Lupin feel a little strange. He had only been away for a few days, not even a week. These little wizards shouldn't miss him so much.

It was not until he communicated with these young wizards that he realized that when he was away, his classes were taught by Professor Snape.

Lupin knew Snape very well: he was sharp-tongued, arrogant, and unkind.

From this, it can be seen that his teaching method is probably not liked by the little wizard.

Because he didn't know what Snape taught them, Lupin asked the little wizard after class: "What knowledge have you learned these days?"

Hermione actively raised her hand to answer.

"I know Professor. Professor Snape taught us how to tell the difference between a werewolf and a real wolf, how to escape from a werewolf, the habits of a werewolf, and how to kill a werewolf."

Professor Lupin's face was a little pale and a little stiff.

"This content is very advanced knowledge. I didn't expect him to teach you so quickly. What about you? Have you learned anything?"

This time it was Hermione who answered first.

“Yes, we can already clearly distinguish werewolves from real wolves. They are different. On full-moon nights, werewolves become very lethal, and at the same time, they are left with only animal instincts and do not recognize any of their friends.

When facing werewolves, we should not think about resisting them. Their lethality is far beyond what the little wizard can deal with.

When we encounter a werewolf, we just need to run away immediately, not fight it."

Professor Lupin nodded: "Very good, Miss Granger, your answer is the standard answer.

I hope every little wizard can remember that when encountering werewolves, never fight them, because their lethality is far beyond the ability of ordinary wizards to deal with.

Even high-ranking wizards can have headaches on occasions."

Professor Lupin undoubtedly explained too much about the werewolves, and immediately asked the little wizard to open the page about hinkypunk.

According to his teaching progress, the little wizard should learn the contents of this page.

Professor Lupin's teaching method is not only to let the young wizards learn about dangerous creatures from books, but also to bring less harmful dangerous creatures into the classroom for the young wizards to practice dealing with them.

This time, he also brought Hinky Punk into the classroom.

When the black cloth outside the cage was lifted, a very strange creature appeared in front of the little wizard.

This is a magical creature with one leg and two arms, and its appearance is a mixture of blue and gray.

Professor Lupin said: "In addition to this color, there are some white ones, which are usually very small and look like ethereal smoke.

It looks fragile and harmless, but don't be deceived by its appearance. If you encounter it, be careful not to be led into the depths of the swamp by it, otherwise it will be troublesome."

The little wizard felt both relaxed and intoxicated in this class.

Sure enough, Professor Lupin’s class is the best. Not only is it not stressful, but it also allows every little wizard to participate.

He is nothing like Professor Snape, who has a gloomy face all day long, as if everyone owes him millions of gold Galleons.

After class, Lin Xia suddenly called Ron and asked him to bring the mouse Banban to the laboratory at noon.

Ron asked, "Why take it to the lab? I plan to take it to the infirmary for a checkup at the weekend."

Lin Xia replied, “I think your mouse is quite intelligent. If it knew you were going to take it to the infirmary for examination, it would probably run away.

So I wanted to cast a tracking spell on it in advance so that I can find it when the time comes."

Ron thought about it and agreed.

Lin Xia: "By the way, remember to blindfold it when you bring it here. I don't want it to know how to enter the lab."

Ron was a little surprised: "Do we have to be so cautious?"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Ron, I'm just in case. You know, I always want to be prepared for everything."

Harry said, "If Scabbers is really smart, this is what he would do. What if he could remember the password to open the laboratory?"

Ron shrugged and said speechlessly, "Come on, if my mouse is smart, why is it always chased away by Hermione's Crookshanks?"

When Lin Xia heard this, a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes.

She asked, "Does Crookshanks chase Scabbers away often?"

She had an impression of Crookshanks.

It was a large ginger cat with a flat face, as if it had once bumped into a wall and its face was compressed.

It also has a fat, raised tail that looks like a bottle brush.

I heard that it has some cat bloodline and is very smart. It can understand human language and read text.

Although Crookshanks didn't often appear in front of her, Lin Xia often heard its stories from Hermione.

For example, Crookshanks was able to identify the note with Gryffindor's password on Neville's bedside table, and he also knew that pressing the knot on the Whomping Willow would make the tree quiet.

It sounds like it has the same keen insight and strong sense of justice as its owner Hermione.

As Crookshanks's owner, Hermione never felt that her cat did anything wrong.

Hermione said, "Scabbers must have done something bad, so Crookshanks expelled him. I know my pet well, he is very smart and never does anything bad."

Ron said angrily, "You don't know how bad your cat is. It often comes to my dormitory to drive Scabbers away. I can't even keep Scabbers in the dormitory."

Lin Xia asked: "Could it be that cats and mice are naturally incompatible? After all, one is a cat and the other is a mouse, so it is normal for them to dislike each other."

Hermione shook her head and swore, "It must be his rat Scabbers who did something bad. I keep Crookshanks at home and he has caught rats in the house before.

But those mice were all stealing food from humans, so they were captured by Crookshanks. If the mice didn't do anything bad, even if they walked in front of Crookshanks openly, it wouldn't bother to care about them!"

Lin Xia asked with interest: "Hermione, I wonder if you can bring your Crookshanks to the lab as well. I want to do an experiment on it.

Don't worry, it won't be a difficult experiment to complete, and it won't pose any danger to Crookshanks."

As soon as Ron wrote down that he couldn't, Hermione immediately agreed, "Sure!"

Ron said: "If Crookshanks is to come, he must be blindfolded so that he can't see how we open the laboratory.

Her cat is very smart and will definitely remember it. Since everyone has to bring their pets here anyway, let’s be fair.”

Hermione retorted, "No problem, my cat wouldn't resort to such tricks!"

As the little wizard was making a lot of noise on his way to the auditorium.

Babbling also went to the Ministry of Magic and met with Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was a little surprised when Babling came to his house.

He recalled: "How long have you not come out? It seems like you have been in seclusion for 100 years?
But in the past few years, you have come out several times, all of which are related to Lin Xia. Is she your most promising disciple? Let me guess, Babel, you appeared in the Ministry of Magic this time, could it be that what you want to say is also related to Lin Xia?"

Babel couldn't help but smile: "Dumbledore, I think you have a talent as a prophet in some aspects. Don't you really want to try to learn divination from Trelawney?
Maybe you will be the next person chosen by the goddess of fate, and you will be lucky enough to come into contact with the tricks of fate in the long river of time."

Dumbledore laughed and said, "I asked Trelawney. She said that I had no halo behind me and was not suitable for Divination. She also said that I was stupid. I didn't rush to be scolded by her."

He changed the subject and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"

Dumbledore seemed relaxed and at ease, but in fact, after Babel came, all his official duties stopped.

He did not pick up the quill and communicate with people while handling things.

Babeling's arrival was worth him putting down what he was doing and treating it seriously.

Babel raised her eyebrows and sat in front of Dumbledore: "The reason I came to see you this time is really related to Lin Xia."

"Dumbledore, even though you don't think highly of this child, I can assure you that her appearance will definitely not affect Harry's growth.

On the contrary, her appearance in the academic world is a bright light.

Look, since she appeared, so many wonderful ideas have been pouring into the wizarding world every day, and many new ideas are being born all the time.

And because of her inventions, we have achieved certain results in resisting the evil world.

Although the results were very weak, there had been no progress for at least hundreds of years. But after Lin Xia appeared, it promoted the exploration of the evil god's world.

Don't you think this is an exciting thing?

As long as she keeps growing, who knows where she will go. Research can change the world."

Dumbledore took off his half-moon glasses and said seriously, "Do you think she is the next Nico?"

Babel shook her head: “No, I think her existence is more important than Nico.

Her way of looking at things is different from those of us in the upper class. She is more inclined towards the general public, so the things she invents are also very down-to-earth.

Unlike Nick, although his inventions are powerful, they all require a lot of resources to accumulate and are difficult to promote.”

Dumbledore asked: "So, Lin Xia has invented something new?"

Babeling didn't waste any words. She waved her hand and took out a dozen glowing candles from the alien space.

After being adjusted by Babel, these candles have become different from their original plain appearance.

These candles look very gorgeous, with beautiful patterns outlined with gold and silver powder.

These designs are all dreamed of by various great wizards.

Dumbledore picked up a glow candle and examined it.

He also knew how to perform detection magic, and he cast it silently, finding out that this small candle was not simple.

Beneath its small appearance, there are three miniature magic arrays.

However, he could not detect the specific effects of these magic arrays. He only knew that they probably tended towards the attribute of shining light.

The light of the candle should be able to dispel some of the whispers in the evil world.

Babeling: "This is the glow candle invented by Lin Xia. The original version was not like this. I made some modifications to make the magic words on it more perfect and the appearance more gorgeous and exquisite.

The Glow Candle is very suitable for promotion, especially for high-level wizards who are exploring the world of evil gods. This can be used as an auxiliary item, and perhaps it can allow us to explore the world of evil gods at night."

Dumbledore said, "I will personally verify the specific effects, and will also submit them to the Sage's Eye of the Research Association for analysis."

Babel is the person behind the Researchers Association. She can totally let the Sage's Eye do a test there.

But because this gadget had been modified by her, it would be more accurate if it was handed over to Dumbledore for testing and he could see the results himself.

So Babel did not act on her own in this matter.

After working together for so many years, they have developed a certain tacit understanding and will not infringe on other people's areas.

Babel does not interfere with Dumbledore's training of Harry, but she will not give Harry more resources because of this.

Similarly, Dumbledore would not interfere with Babel's training of Lin Xia, but Lin Xia would not receive any more special treatment from him.

Of course, when faced with the urgent need for research talents, everyone is in the same direction, so outstanding students at Hogwarts will receive some subsidies in this regard.

Especially the subsidies for research directions will be very heavy.

So Lin Xia actually enjoyed a lot of conveniences given to her by Dumbledore in Hogwarts.

But that's limited to school.

Once out of school, Dumbledore wouldn't bother with anything.

Dumbledore stared at the glowing candle and suddenly asked, "This candle is not easy to make, otherwise you wouldn't appear in front of me. Just let your Researchers Association promote it."

Babeling nodded: "Well, it is a bit difficult to make. It definitely requires magic talent to make it."

Dumbledore: "Runes?"

He shook his head slightly: "This is not knowledge that everyone can obtain."

Babble-ling: "That's why I need your help, Dumbledore."

Dumbledore's expression was serious. "Tell me your thoughts first, Babel. The wizarding world is gradually facing the most critical period. We cannot try anything that is too dangerous."

Babeling smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t vigorously promote magic runes.

We have hidden such core knowledge in the evil god world, it is impossible for us to let the evil god world discover it.

I would like to open ten basic magic runes to those who are willing to make brilliant candles, so that they can learn how to make brilliant candles. "

Dumbledore: "Even if the access channels are restricted, you know, the more the news spreads, the less secret it becomes. These 10 basic runes will definitely fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives."

Babel looked directly at Dumbledore: "I thought that with so many abnormal students appearing in Hogwarts, the knowledge about magic runes would have been spread out long ago.

The knowledge I teach in school is not just as simple as basic magic runes."

Neither of them gave in to the other.

Finally, Dumbledore put on his glasses again and said, "Send me your ten basic runes, and I will try to promote them.

Babel, I don't reject the circulation of knowledge, but magic words are very important to us. If there is a safer method, I will promote it without hesitation."

Babel shrugged and said, "Dumbledore, you think the runes are too important and too simple.

This knowledge is not something that everyone can learn, and it is impossible to deduce more advanced knowledge from a few basic magic runes.

Not everyone is Tom Dumbledore." (End of chapter)
