Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Madam Pomfrey insisted that Harry stay in the Hospital Wing over the weekend.

Harry had no objection, as he felt he had nowhere to go anyway.

When he saw the scene in the crystal ball before, he did not expect that he would be attacked by Dementors, he only saw the big black dog.

But unfortunately, the black dog did appear, but was not caught by the friends.

Among them, there was one person whose figure was very suspicious.

"What did you say? Mikel also attacked the black dog with you. Did you ask him for help?"

Lin Xia was not there when the big black dog appeared, so she didn't know what happened at the scene, and she was very curious when she heard this.

Ron and Hermione immediately shook their heads: "No, the big black dog suddenly appeared in the first row of stands. It was your prediction. Who would believe such a thing? We didn't tell anyone."

Draco frowned slightly, "That's strange, why does Mikkel have such deep hostility towards Black Dog?
I remember that when he attacked the black dog at the end, he was probably trying to cast the spell of "shattered to pieces."

Draco was very familiar with the spell of "shattered to pieces".

This spell is a mid-to-high-level spell with strong offensive power, but it is not classified as black magic. It is very practical whether used for offense or defense.

It’s just that Mikel didn’t tell the whole story of the spell, and Draco guessed what happened next.

After all, in his impression, Mikel is very good at this spell.

Lin Xia had an interesting guess: "Could it be that Mikel also has the ability to predict the future? He predicted in advance that the black dog would appear in the first row of the stands.

The black dog might bring him disaster, so he wanted to eliminate it in advance. "

Ron said in disbelief, "That's impossible. It's ridiculous enough that Harry can see the future through the crystal ball, and now there's Mikel?"

Lin Xia kindly reminded him: "With Mikel's current strength, why can't he see the prophecy?"

The others fell silent.

Lin Xia was right about this.

In the past month, Mikel's performance has been excellent. He has been able to catch up with Hermione, an excellent student, and even seems to be better than Hermione.

After all, the magic he normally uses is of high difficulty, and he can use it right away.

But Hermione was obviously not as good as Mikel in Transfiguration.

Lin Xiayuan didn't just guess this. She continued, "If he didn't want to kill the big black dog for his own safety, then there is only one possibility. He can get some benefit or something he wants by killing the black dog."

Harry felt uncomfortable, as if something he cherished was taken away by someone else.

"I don't think he has any reason to touch a black dog. When he took the divination class before, the professor didn't tell him that he would encounter such an ominous sign as a black dog."

Harry swore, "Maybe it was just an accident."

Lin Xia simply asked: "If you are so curious, why don't you just ask him?"

"Harry, if you want to understand a problem, you must face it yourself before you have a chance to solve it."
-
The young wizard left the school infirmary, leaving Harry alone to rest.

Harry took a break, but the little wizard's questioning did not end.

The moment when Harry was surrounded by Dementors and in danger.

Ron, Hermione, Draco, Mikel and Neville suddenly broke into the Quidditch field, and this incident was eventually remembered by a caring professor.

So when they left the school infirmary, a little wizard immediately told them:
"Professor Snape is looking for you. Go over there quickly. I can see that he looks very unhappy."

After the little wizard who tipped off left, Lin Xia turned around and asked them, "Were you observed by Snape?"

Draco shook his head. "I don't know. I was so busy chasing the big black dog that I didn't pay attention to the reactions in the stands. I just remember that the little wizards were all panicked, afraid that Harry would fall."

Lin Xia understood: "The young wizard can't detect your movements, but the professors may not be able to detect your movements. Since Snape has discovered your movements, I believe McGonagall, Dumbledore and the others must also know about it."

Ron asked anxiously, "What should we say then?"

Lin Xia thought for a while and soon came up with a solution: "Let's say that Professor Trelawney once predicted that Harry would encounter a black dog. You saw the black dog and thought it was going to harm Harry, so you attacked it."

Hermione raised an eyebrow: "Will Professor Snape believe it?"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "If he doesn't believe it, he can go to Professor Trelawney."

"By the way," she added, "remember to distance yourself from Mikel. You are Harry's friends and would go through fire and water for your friends, but Mikel is not."

The little wizards looked at each other, a cunning light flashing in their eyes.

After Lin Xia separated from them, she went to the laboratory. She had an idea about a binding wand that might be able to be used there.

But apparently even she couldn't escape questioning.

However, it was not the professor who asked her where she had been during the time she left the stands, but Magg who stopped her and asked her to teach her the steps to make the "Glow Candle".

"Glowing candle?" Lin Xia was very surprised.

How did Professor McGonagall know about the Glowing Candles? Could it be that the suitable person Professor Babel found was a professor at Hogwarts?

After arriving at Mag's office, Lin Xia's brows relaxed after hearing the professor's explanation.

Sure enough, all the professors in the school received tasks assigned by Headmaster Dumbledore, requiring each professor to make glow candles and open up some basic magic knowledge to them.

Mag said calmly, "What we lack is not the knowledge of basic magic runes, but the ability to make them by hand.

Wonder crafting may seem very similar to potions, but there are significant differences. Potions is a discipline that turns decay into magic, while wonder crafting is related to alchemy.

Every item in alchemy is not simple. Basically, no ordinary object can be made into a magical object. Every detail requires corresponding magical materials. "

Lin Xia nodded: "According to the normal alchemical artifact production process, it is indeed the case. Every detail is something that only extraordinary objects can participate in. But——"

She changed the subject: "Although the Glow Candle is a strange object, it does not follow the path of alchemy, but magic runes.

As long as you understand and master the basic magic runes, and use a few magic rune arrays, you can turn ordinary candles into brilliant candles."

Mag looked at Lin Xia inquiringly: "Well, I came to you about the magic array.

I asked my superiors to send someone to teach and explain some of the magic runes. Even if we understood the magic runes, we didn't understand why they were constructed that way.

As a result, Dumbledore ordered me to come to you. He said that you are a leader in the study of magic arrays. I was surprised when I saw your name. I didn't know you had such a skill. "

She paused and asked softly, "Lin Xia, you are the inventor of the Brilliant Candle, right?"

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly.

This passage reveals several useful bits of information.

First, Professor McGonagall didn't know who invented the glow candle, and even they were guessing.

Second, Dumbledore must have intended to reveal to the professor her more important role in the Brilliant Candles mission. To be honest, she was not the only one in Hogwarts who had studied runes.

The most authoritative among them is Professor Barbling, who is also the only professor of the Ancient Demon Language course in the school.

Over the past few decades, there have been many outstanding students taught by Babel.

Even if they are not in Hogwarts, they can enter Hogwarts for a period of time and be responsible for teaching the professors to understand that there is no need to use her as a student.

She has studies to attend to and projects to research, so she doesn't have much time.

Just from Mag's answer, Lin Xia keenly felt that there were two forces pulling at this matter.

One group wanted to hide her identity, while the other wanted to push her a little more to the forefront.

Lin Xia said calmly, "No, but I also received the task of making the Brilliant Candles, and I have studied the magic runes on the candles, so I know it so clearly."

Professor McGonagall seemed to accept this explanation.

"Without further delay, are you free now? Please teach me."

Lin Xia readily agreed, "Of course, I'm glad to be able to help Professor."

Lin Xia easily got through McGonagall's test, but it wasn't so easy to fool Snape.

McGonagall had no intention of delving into the matter further, but Snape was different. Once he became interested in something, he would get to the bottom of it.

Especially when it came to Harry, he seemed even more sensitive, like a snake king in a period of rage.

"So you just thought that the black dog appeared out of nowhere, so you attacked it and even rushed into the Quidditch field where the game was being played."

Snape's voice was calm, revealing a sense of indifference and a strong sense of arrogance.

He used his expression to tell the little wizard that he didn't believe this reason at all!

Hermione mustered up the courage to say, “We are too worried about Harry. After all, the black dog is his bad luck and may very well bring him death.

Professor Trelawney has already made this clear in Divination class. He made this prediction to Harry in our first Divination class, and all the students heard it.

"Trelawney's prophecy?" Snape said sarcastically, "How could I not know that Miss Granger, who always thinks she is smart and confident, would actually believe the prophecy of a liar."

"It seems that I overestimated you, Granger. You are nothing more than this."

Hermione's face flushed red. She was not afraid of Snape's verbal contempt, but she hated being insulted by others.

Snape's words were like a slap in the face. Her face was burning with pain. This was mental damage.

This is far more profound than the physical pain.

Especially what she said was definitely not her usual style.

In the silent silence, Snape suddenly turned around and stared at Mikkel coldly: "What about you, why did you attack the black dog again?"

Mikel already had a ready-made excuse, and he opened his mouth to repeat Hermione's reason.

But Snape seemed to have guessed his thoughts in advance, and interrupted without thinking: "Don't fool me with perfunctory reasons, you and Harry don't have such a deep friendship at all!"

Snape said calmly: "I can barely understand that they would do stupid things for Harry. After all, Gryffindors are a bunch of brainless reckless people.

But Mikel, you are not that kind of person, you have the potential to be an excellent student. "

He paused and said meaningfully, "The latest round of selection for outstanding students is about to begin. If you are really so stupid, I have to carefully evaluate whether you can become an outstanding student.

At least an excellent student can make correct judgments, seek benefits and avoid harm, and will not attack people or things for no reason. "

Mikel tried to act calm, but his heart was actually beating faster.

He was a little nervous and subconsciously called the system frantically in his mind.

But the system started to fail again!

It seemed that every time he faced a powerful and famous figure in Hogwarts, the system would not easily communicate with him in his mind.

——Is it possible that these professors are aware of the existence of the system?
This thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it and could only deal with Snape first.

"Professor," he said calmly, "I sensed danger from that black dog. I call this ability 'Danger Warning'.

If I don't destroy it, I will most likely be hurt by it in the future, my intuition tells me so."

"Danger warning?"

Snape spoke word by word, his tone slowing down as if he was thinking about something.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about. He didn't go into details but looked at Mikel meaningfully.

"I hope your ability is really useful and not suddenly malfunctioning. I think I should know how to arrange your tasks for the assessment of outstanding students."

Everyone walked out of Snape's office and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The atmosphere just now was really suffocating.

When communicating with Snape face to face, I can feel more of the pressure he brings.

Ron reached out and wiped his forehead, which was already covered with sweat. He said to Hermione and Draco with lingering fear:

"I think this is the first time I've been so close to him. In the past, during Potions classes, he only stood behind me, and I wasn't under this much pressure."

Draco said calmly: "Ron, as long as you don't feel so guilty, Professor Snape is not scary. We are just stating a fact."

When he said this, he looked at Mikel and asked with interest:

"As for you, when did you awaken the trait of 'Danger Warning'? This is definitely a very good ability."

Mikel: "I don't know, I just had a feeling when I saw the big black dog."

Hermione: "That big black dog looks very smart and seems to be able to do magic."

Draco discussed with Hermione: "No, it's more likely that it has a defensive magic item on it."

Mikel approached Ron calmly. He thought it was strange that these people suddenly attacked the black dog.

This scene never appears in either the movie or the original novel.

"Ron, how did you find that big black dog?" He asked in a more obscure way.

As far as he could remember, Harry was the only one who noticed the presence of the big black dog; no one else saw it at all.

That's why the black dog was able to escape so smoothly. He was sure that no one would notice him, so he went to look at Harry. (End of this chapter)
