Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Because they were in a very remote location, Lin Xia called several times but failed to call the clerk.

She had to walk out and wave to attract the attention of one of the clerks who was moving containers.

The clerk put down the cabinet and walked towards Lin Xia: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Xia nodded and said, "Yes, can you give me a flash firework explosion bomb?"

"Flash Fireworks Exploding Candy?" The clerk repeated the name of the candy, a hint of confusion flashing across his eyes, "It seems that our store does not stock this kind of candy."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows, and Harry and Ron, who came later, were a little surprised.

Ron said loudly: "Impossible, the flash firework exploding candy is in the container behind us!"

The clerk also shouted back, "Impossible, I'm in charge of purchasing and receiving goods these days, and I've never heard of this kind of candy!"

At this point, the clerk looked at them suspiciously, with a bad look on his face: "You didn't just randomly name a candy that we don't have and come here to cause trouble, did you?"

Ron was very angry and took a few steps forward, wanting to confront the clerk.

Lin Xia intervened in their conversation at the right time: "Excuse me, sir, we want a piece of candy, but it says 'Flash Fireworks Explosion Bomb' on it, and we can't take it out. Can you help us take it out and have a look?"

The clerk agreed and followed them, muttering, "The name [Flash Fireworks Exploding Candy] sounds cool. If the store manager really bought it, I would definitely know about it..."

Then the clerk walked into the deepest cabinet, looked at the candy sparkling with silver-white light, and was instantly attracted and couldn't take his eyes away.

He walked over step by step, almost putting his face against the transparent window, and murmured in admiration: "This candy is so beautiful, I have never seen such beautiful candy..."

The little wizards followed the clerk and were shocked when they saw this kind of candy again.

No matter how many times I see these candies, every time I want to sigh that there are such beautiful things in this world.

Lin Xia suddenly stretched out her magic spell and cast a "flash spell"!
A blindingly bright white light flashed before their eyes, like a meteor at an extremely fast speed. The little wizard's mind was instantly attracted by the blinding white and he regained consciousness.

Lin Xia said quickly: "Don't look at these candies. They will attract your attention and make you lose your mind. These candies are dangerous!"

She turned to look at Harry: "Harry, how did you find these candies?"

Lin Xia noticed that while Ron, Hermione and Draco were all attracted by these candies, Harry was barely able to stay conscious and did not need her to use the Flash Charm to wake him up.

This should be the reason why he was not fascinated by these candies before and was able to leave.

Harry has a certain resistance to these candies!
Harry said, "There's a secret passage in the cellar of Honeydukes, and I came here from Hogwarts through this secret passage.

After I came out of the cellar, I saw the counter. Because I was lost, I just walked around and saw these candies.

But the road here was blocked, so I left and went somewhere else, and soon I saw you. "

Ron didn't dare turn his head towards the candy. His self-control was very low. Once he saw the candy, he would not hear or remember anything.

Because he didn't see the candy, he didn't know what the clerk's current situation was, so he quickly asked: "Has the clerk taken out the 'Flash Fireworks Exploding Candy'?"

Lin Xia glanced at it and shook her head: "No, the clerk was completely mesmerized and wanted to lie on the transparent window."

Hermione lowered her head and said calmly and rationally, "Something's wrong.

Before the clerk came, he claimed that he had never seen this candy before. After he came, he also acted like he had never seen this candy before, and he was even more unable to resist the temptation than us.

If Honeydukes really stocked this kind of candy, it is impossible that they were unaware of its temptation, and the staff could not have never heard of it. Could it be that these candies were not purchased by Honeydukes, but were deliberately placed there by someone?"

Draco looked at Lin Xia with a serious expression: "If it is the latter, what is their purpose?"

A vague thought flashed through Harry's mind, but he didn't catch it.

The next second, Lin Xia's calm voice sounded: "There is a festival coming up soon, and it is the peak season for selling candy."

The little wizards looked at each other and said in unison: "Christmas!"

Hermione said quickly, "This candy is so confusing that we can't even walk when we see it. We don't know what the impact will be if we release it. We need to report it to the professor."

Ron frowned: "This is not Hogwarts, will the professor take care of these things?"

Draco nodded. "Yes, because most of the candy in Honeydukes is sold to Hogwarts students."

Harry was wearing an invisibility hood and was a little nervous, not wanting the professor to know he was there.

He asked, "Do we need to report this to the professor just because it's confusing? Maybe this candy is just too pretty, so people can't take their eyes off it. Maybe it's harmless?"

Hermione said seriously, "No, Harry, being too confusing is dangerous!"

She didn't know what she was thinking of, so she waved her wand and summoned a water mirror.

Through the principle of refraction, she adjusted the water mirror left and right, and finally, through the side mirror, she was able to let everyone see the clerk's current situation.

It's strange that they would lose consciousness when looking directly at the candy, but they would be fine when they saw the candy through other objects.

In the water mirror, the clerk was still lying in front of the window, staring at it without blinking, muttering to himself, all words of praise.

"He's been like this for at least five minutes," said Hermione.

Ron swallowed and suddenly thought of himself. Could it be that he was also like the clerk when he was confused just now?

That's too ugly!
Draco stared at the clerk in the water mirror, thought of a possibility, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think if I attack the clerk now, will he be unable to react?"

The others suddenly realized.

No wonder they felt that this state of losing consciousness was not good, it turned out that they were completely unable to save themselves when they encountered danger!

Harry asked: "Lin Xia, what should we do now?"

Lin Xia thought about it and took out a crystal ball from the seamless telescopic ring.

"We recorded what happened here and gave it to the store manager, asking him where the goods came from. If he didn't get any, then who put them here on purpose? The store manager should want to know more than we do."

She paused and said uncertainly, "I feel the power of the evil god's whispers from these candies. It is very likely that this is why you are confused. However, I cannot verify it because of the transparent window."

"By the way, I brought the Leaf of Awakening."

Lin Xia took out the leaves and distributed them to the other friends. "Just in case, if you accidentally see the candies, you should take the leaves. The power of these candies is no less than that of the real forbidden books."

Everyone took the leaves of clarity immediately.

Even so, no one dared to take the risk and look at the candy again to test whether the Leaf of Awakening could resist the effect of confusion.

The only thing that could be felt was that after taking the Clear-Minded Leaves, they all felt their minds were clear and refreshed.

Lin Xia and the others left the counter and quickly found the store manager and handed him the crystal ball. After seeing the picture, the store manager looked very serious and asked, "How did you find it?"

Lin Xia said: "We walked in by chance and saw this when we entered, we saw this clerk in this position.

We accidentally saw the candy and almost walked over, but luckily we heard a sharp sound that woke us up."

Harry hid his body in the invisibility cloak and glanced at Lin Xia deliberately.

Her statement embellished many realities.

The store manager asked in confusion, "A shrill sound, but we didn't hear anything before."

Lin Xia said calmly: "To be precise, I heard a sharp sound, and I was the first to come to my senses, and then woke up the other friends who were walking towards the candy."

The store manager looked at Lin Xia for a few times, his eyes fixed on the excellent student badge she wore on her chest. He seemed to understand something and quickly said:

"The information you provided is very important. Please wait a moment. I need to contact Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. You may have discovered something dropped from the evil world."

He explained: "Recently, the Ministry of Magic seized a batch of items contaminated by evil god whispers. These items have effects similar to those of candies, mainly to confuse people's minds.

It doesn't seem to be harmful, but if a fallen wizard attacks from the side while a person is bewitched, it is basically impossible to fight back.

In addition, prolonged exposure to these items may lead to the corruption and mental instability of wizards. "

The store manager also learned this information from the Daily Prophet.

Although he had not actually seen it, the clerk's reaction was very similar to the phenomenon reported in the newspaper.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "We are still students and can only come to Hogsmeade on weekends. Why don't I leave you my contact information? Contact me when you need us. We will definitely come forward to testify for you."

The store manager thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

The most important thing is to have a crystal ball to record the scene. With the images in the crystal ball, many problems can be discovered.

The reason why the little wizard stayed was just in case.

The store manager patted his chest and swore that he had never been involved in any conspiracy with the evil world, and he had never known what "flashing fireworks exploding candy" was!
Where did this sugar come from?
When Lin Xia and the others left, she also reminded the store manager: "You are short of staff recently, and you have to import a lot of goods every day. Maybe someone just saw the chaos in your store and secretly put pollutants from the evil world into your store.

If you want to minimize the danger, you still have to manage the store well, such as guarding dangerous places so that they are not discovered."

The store manager immediately said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will do it now!"

After Lin Xia and others left, they walked towards another street.

But she had been secretly using the clairvoyance spell to amplify her hearing.

She seemed to walk to the other side, but her mind was always on the manager of Honeydukes.

The store manager said, "It's strange. How did they find that place? I pass by there every day, so how come I didn't notice anything wrong with it?"
When were these candies placed here? Were they there yesterday, or today... If they were not excellent students at Hogwarts, I would suspect that they had placed them here on purpose..."

After the store manager finished muttering, he called a few more employees over and asked them to hang red lines on the three rows of shelves closest to the back to prohibit entry.

After the clerks finished, the store manager asked them specifically: "You walked into the deepest shelf, didn't you find anything?"

The clerk was confused and said, "Is there anything there? There's nothing!"

Another clerk said, "Yeah, manager, we didn't find anything."

"Manager, why did you seal off that place? There's nothing there!"

The store manager was also confused, "Didn't you see there was another person at the back? And there was silver candy!"

"No, we didn't see anything."

The store manager said, "But the crystal ball clearly...wait, come over here and see if you have found these scenes."

The clerk was silent for a while, then said, "The environment shown in the crystal ball is indeed the environment in the deepest container."

"I also saw a few candies that I saw when I first sealed them, but I didn't find any Ren and Silver candies at all."

"Could it be that the place has deliberately set up many obstacles to prevent us from getting close?"

Lin Xia suddenly had an idea, paused, and turned to look at the invisible Harry.

She finally figured out where the uneasy feeling in her heart came from!
If the silver candies were really secretly placed there by people sent by the evil god world, just to set off the disaster brought about by the "flash fireworks exploding candies" at Christmas, then they would definitely be concealed in the early stages so as not to be discovered.

So the place where they put the candy definitely cast a lot of spells that kept people away.

For example, "obstacles galore", "avoidance spell (wizard version)", "cover up the truth", "make the fake look real"...

Lin Xia said seriously, "Harry, tell me the truth, did you really walk in by accident?"

The weather is very cold today and small snowflakes are floating in the sky.

Harry was silent for a while, as if someone had seen through his secret.

Hermione and the others were confused. They looked at Lin Xia with a serious expression and subconsciously did not speak.

They were all waiting for an answer from Harry.

Hermione thought about it, her hand still holding Harry's, and she felt the silk-like fabric and lifted it forward -

Harry appeared in front of everyone.

He looked a little panicked, wearing very little, his nose was red from the cold, and his eyes also looked red.

"I didn't mean to take you there. I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Lin Xia comforted him: "Harry, I'm not saying that you want to harm us, but I want to ask how you know that place. Did you really walk in accidentally? Can you tell me the truth?"

To prove herself, Lin Xia said, "I have been using the ESP spell to listen to the conversation between the manager and the staff of Honeydukes.

They couldn't even find that place, and if our crystal ball hadn't recorded it, they would have thought we were lying."

Draco looked serious: "You mean, they can't get in?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "No, I can't find it at all."

She looked at Harry and said word by word, "That place, if you don't look for it on purpose, you can only find it when you reach a certain critical point, otherwise it will be overlooked.

So, Harry, did you really walk in there by accident? You can't find that place by accident." (End of this chapter)
