Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Everyone looked at Lin Xia's palm in shock, even Professor Lupin was no exception!
He had taught many people the Patronus Charm, some successfully and some not.

But no wizard was like Lin Xia. Once he learned the Patronus Charm, he began to transform.

Yes, the light in her palm continued to compress inwards and gradually changed into another shape... In Lupin's eyes, this had already caused the Patronus Charm to undergo a transformation.

Once the transformation is complete, Lin Xia will have a creature in the form of his own Patronus spell.

The light continued to compress inwards and lasted for several minutes.

Eventually, the light stopped changing, and its size became as small as a tiny creature in the gap between fingerprints in Lin Xia's palm.

It is thinner than a hair and cannot be seen with the naked eye. You can only find its shape with a magnifying glass.

The reason why Harry and others believed that there was something in Lin Xia's hand was because there was a small white dot on her hand, like a tiny pearlescent powder.

The light spot is very faint, but can still be seen with the naked eye.

"What kind of magical creature is this?"

Professor Lupin was knowledgeable and immediately recognized that the little thing in Lin Xia's palm was extraordinary. This was an effect that no ordinary creature could achieve.

Ron said whimsically: "Could it be some kind of bacteria? But bacteria can glow, it's a bit incredible!"

Hermione also made a judgment: "It must be a magical creature, so it can get smaller and smaller."

Instead, Draco narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he vaguely recognized something.

"Lin Xia, is that a mirage worm in your palm? Isn't it the original creature that you used Transfiguration to create a magical creature for the first time?"

Ron was shocked: "Wait, can Transfiguration also create magical creatures?"

Hermione's mind raced: "Although Professor McGonagall never said it, according to the information I have researched, Transfiguration can indeed create magical creatures.

Because the principle of Transfiguration is to transform into creatures that exist or have existed in this world.

The more obvious the traces left by that creature, the clearer the power of transformation will be. So according to this theory, we can even transform prehistoric creatures!

As long as we have this information and the fossils of prehistoric creatures, we can have a basis for theory and imagination. "

"But," Hermione paused and emphasized quickly, "The professor does not advocate that we use Transfiguration to transform magical creatures. This is not mentioned at all in the course.

It is said that when using Transfiguration to create magical creatures, the power is uncontrollable and will produce complex changes and reactions, which may very likely backfire on the wizard performing the Transfiguration.

Even the most fragile and tiny magical creatures would consume a lot of magic power of the wizard if they were transformed through Transfiguration.

Ordinary wizards simply do not have the ability or qualifications to transform into magical creatures. Only wizards with extraordinary talents in transfiguration can attempt this field. "

Hermione was like an encyclopedia, rattling off the information she had read.

“However, there is a more important point. The powers involving magical creatures are often extremely mysterious. Although they are extremely dangerous, they can also bring huge benefits.

I once read a banned book that said: [Whenever a wizard creates his first magical creature through Transfiguration, that creature will accompany the wizard throughout his life and grow with him.]”

Harry asked in confusion, "What does this mean? Will the creature become more powerful as time goes by?"

"Yes!" Hermione said confidently: "As long as wizards use Transfiguration more skillfully, the first magical creature will grow and become more powerful.

They need to draw strength from the wizard in the beginning, and when they grow up, they can give the wizard more powerful strength in return. "

Professor Lupin frowned and said, "What kind of banned book are you reading? The knowledge in it is too profound for you. You shouldn't touch it."

Hermione turned to look at Lupin and said clearly, "Professor, when I went to the real restricted section, it was not me who chose the banned books, but the banned books that chose me. They wanted to show me."

"So Lin Xia." Hermione turned to look at her again and asked with interest: "Can you tell me about this cute little creature?"

Lin Xia smiled slightly: "This is a creature without attributes, called [Mirage Worm], also known as Cloud Worm, I found it in the Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures that Hagrid gave me.

It once appeared in the Forbidden Forest and was recorded by the administrators at the time, but now there is no trace of it.

Records say that mirages like to float on the clouds and mist, and they can hide their bodies by changing into various patterns through the clouds and mist.

It is also the first magical creature I have summoned using Transfiguration. I have not yet felt the power I have gained from it. But since I summoned it, I can feel that I have become more proficient in Transfiguration. "

Lin Xia looked at the little guy in her palm calmly with a gentle expression.

"I didn't expect that I could actually transform it when using the Patronus Charm... Little guy, can you show me your ability?"

As soon as the words fell, a strong and bright light burst out from Lin Xia's palm.

The light grew bigger and stronger, as if it was going to illuminate the entire office!
Suddenly, a soft cry came from the light.

Then, all the light suddenly retracted inward, and a magical creature that looked like a phoenix appeared, circling around everyone's head.

Harry couldn't help but said, "Fawkes? This is Headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix!"

The phoenix flew to Lupin and landed on his shoulder.

It is called a phoenix, but it is not a real phoenix. The light emitted by the phoenix is ​​the halo brought by the patronus spell.

Lupin couldn't help but reach out and touch the Phoenix, but he only touched a piece of air and a beam of light.

But the phoenix on his shoulder was vivid and alive. It rubbed his fingertips with its head, then made a light hoof sound and hovered above Lin Xia's head.

At this moment, Lin Xia felt that his magic power was being rapidly consumed, and his face changed.

This magical creature summoned by the Patronus spell consumes too much magic power!

In just a few seconds, most of her magic power was drained away.

Lin Xia's mind moved, and the phoenix suddenly disappeared, leaving only spots of light in the sky.

"This is amazing!" Ron exclaimed again.

"Lin Xia, how did you conjure up the phoenix? Is he your patronus?" Harry asked excitedly.

Lin Xia shook her head: "No, my real patron saint is the mirage insect. The phoenix you just saw was transformed from the mirage insect."

Hermione said thoughtfully, "Because the nature of the mirage worm is to hide in the mist and change into various shapes... I didn't expect that after leaving the mist, it can also change into the shape of various animals, even magical creatures."

Lin Xia added: "But maybe only my mirage worms can do this. Every magical creature that a wizard creates for the first time using Transfiguration has different characteristics, and the rewards it brings to the wizard are also different."

She paused, "To be honest, I was quite surprised. The mirage worms summoned by the Patronus Charm seem to be more powerful than the mirage worms I transformed by Transfiguration.

They are just transformed creatures, and they are only similar in appearance. At present, they do not have any inherited powers from magical creatures.

Just now I wanted the phoenix that the mirage worm transformed into to be reborn from the ashes like Fox did, but not only did it fail to do so, it immediately drained all my magic power and finally disappeared. "

Professor Lupin came back to his senses and said seriously: "Don't tell anyone about this, and you -"

He glanced at the others and said solemnly, "Don't tell anyone. The Patronus Charm may be Lin Xia's trump card. It can work wonders at a critical moment."

The other young wizards immediately nodded in agreement. Except for Ron, none of them were good at talking.

Only Ron had a bitter look on his face, afraid that he would not be able to help but tell others.

So Professor Lupin cast a spell on him that would cause him to burp continuously whenever he mentioned related news.

By burping, he is unable to finish his words so as to avoid revealing the secret.

The other young wizards left, but Lin Xia was stopped by Lupin and had a private conversation with him.

"Lin Xia, you can use the Patronus Charm to summon magical creatures, which shows that you have an excellent talent. In Hogwarts, there are not many wizards who can materialize the Patronus Charm.

McGonagall once told me that she thought your talent in Transfiguration was on par with Dumbledore's. I thought she was joking at the time, but now it seems that she was right. "

Lin Xia's amber eyes stared at Lupin, looking a little smart and naughty.

"Professor, are you optimistic about the prospects of mirage worms?"

Lupin said without hesitation: "Of course, it has great prospects... It has just transformed into a phoenix. According to your introduction, it can not only transform into a phoenix, but also into other magical creatures.

The fact that it can transform into many kinds of magical creatures is enough to make it extremely special.

Just in case, I mean just in case, if it develops to the end, the magical creatures you create can have some characteristics of the original creatures, then you will definitely become one of the most powerful people in the wizarding world!"

Lin Xia looked at his enthusiastic expression and calmly poured cold water on him:
"Professor, if I could really achieve what you imagined, I would have already become one of the most powerful people in the wizard world.

The development of the mirage worm is very slow, and I am also very weak, so maybe I will stop here, who knows."

Lupin suddenly smiled, and his melancholy eyes seemed to have some deep meaning at this moment.

"Lin Xia, you are very special. I have a feeling that you will bring many surprises to the entire wizarding world."

Lin Xia also smiled: "Professor, you are not the first person to say this to me. Although I don't understand why you are all so optimistic about me, I am just an ordinary person."

Lupin looked away and did not continue the conversation on this topic.

He has a special channel to obtain information, but there is no need to explain this to Lin Xia in detail.

After all, she was just a little wizard studying at school, and Lupin didn't want to put her under too much pressure.

The bones of these people are not so old that they can't walk, so they can hold on for as long as they can.

"If you have any questions about the Patronus Charm in the future, feel free to ask me."

Lin Xia said frankly: "Professor, I won't be polite with you."
-
Harry and Lin Xia both used the Patronus Charm, which gave the other friends an incentive.

After leaving Professor Lupin's office, even though there was no Boggart turning into the thing they feared the most, they still wanted to continue practicing the Patronus Charm after arriving at the laboratory.

Although these people all had research tasks, Lin Xia was not an unreasonable person, and instead set a rule:
Whoever finishes his research task first can use the laboratory to practice the Patronus Charm.

In order to support and encourage their learning spirit, Lin Xia also promised:
"I can give you individual guidance. Although it is not as comprehensive as Professor Lupin's, my method of using emotions may be more suitable for you."

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Lin Xia added, "By the way, don't underestimate the magic power gathering effect in the laboratory.

I believe you have observed that the concentration of magic here is not worse than that in the professor's office. It is a good place to practice magic."

She smiled and said, "So finish your research as soon as possible!"

Draco immediately walked into his own laboratory, but when he was about to enter, he was suddenly grabbed by Ron.

Ron asked in a low voice: "Draco, tell me quickly, does Lin Xia mean that this place is no worse than the professor's office?
I practiced spells in the professor's office and felt more focused than I could have ever felt in the library or the common room."

Draco nodded: "Of course, don't forget, this is our laboratory, after several renovations, it cost tens of thousands of gold galleons.

This money was not only spent on special materials for rebuilding the laboratory, but also on constructing special magic runes. In fact, the floor under our feet is painted with magic runes.

The magic rune array can make people more focused, quick-thinking, and replenish physical energy, all for better research."

He smiled and said, "But if you use it to practice spells, the effect will definitely be very good."

Harry and Hermione also heard what he said.

There was a thoughtful look in everyone's eyes.

When I was doing research in the laboratory in the past, I just felt that my mind was highly concentrated. I thought it was because I came to the sacred place of the laboratory, which made people feel awe and dared not be lazy.

But now hearing what Draco said, it turns out that there is a related magic array at work.

Hermione murmured to herself: "I see, I guess I have to change my strategy. Reading in the library is not as efficient as in the laboratory."

Harry:…

He had no idea yet, but he had already anticipated that Hermione might want to change her location.

After Draco and the others entered the laboratory, Lin Xia also came to her own exclusive laboratory to study "Ghost Talk Candy".

Lin Xia has already handed over all the ideas for the binding wand related to the devil vine, and has also broken through the most critical core.

All that remains is for researchers to work hard on comparisons and find the best ratio.

So she can devote some attention to her favorite "nonsense candy".

Halfway through her research, Lin Xia thought again of what Professor Lupin had said to her privately.

Although she didn't know where Professor Lupin got the news about her, Lin Xia felt that the relationship between the professors at Hogwarts might be closer than she imagined.

Like Professor Lupin this semester, Hogwarts has opened many secrets to him.

Compared to Quirrell and Lockhart, there is a world of difference. (End of this chapter)
