Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Harry's lips moved slightly, looking very flustered, "I, I..."

The other friends looked at him nervously, and Ron couldn't help but say, "What, Harry, how did you find out? Tell me quickly!"

Harry: "I, I..." He closed his eyes and said with courage: "I heard someone calling me!"

Once you have said it, it will be easier to speak next.

"I know it sounds weird, but this is what happened to me," Harry said with relief.

When I came out of the aisle by the counter, I wondered where you would be in Hogsmeade and I wanted to find you.

But suddenly I heard a voice, someone kept calling me - Harry! Harry!

The voice was muffled and hoarse, and I couldn't tell whose voice it was, so I went over to see, and that's when I saw those beautiful candies!"

Harry finally told the whole story and quickly explained, “I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you would worry.

Besides, this matter was too bizarre. How could candy make a sound, and why was it calling me?
But there is one thing I didn’t know, I didn’t know there was something wrong with these candies, if I had known I wouldn’t have brought you over here!”

Ron nodded: "I believe this."

Hermione glared at him, "You don't understand the point at all. The point now is not the candy, but why Harry can hear that sound!"

Lin Xia looked thoughtful for a moment and said, "I remember you had this phenomenon before. You suddenly heard a certain sound. That sound was the snake monster we have been trying to find."

Draco was puzzled: "Harry can communicate with the basilisk because he knows Parseltongue, so he can understand what the basilisk says.

But what about the candy? Is that candy some kind of magical creature in disguise? This is impossible!

Lin Xia shook her head: "No, I mean that candy is the source of danger.

Harry heard it calling him, perhaps as a warning.

This is not necessarily a message that the candy wants to convey, but Harry instinctively senses that something is wrong with the candy, so his body has this strange illusion of calling."

They unknowingly came to a remote place. In the snow, everyone stopped and thought about Lin Xia's guess.

Ron said with a strange expression, "You mean, Harry might have some kind of danger detection ability?"

Hermione guessed, "Danger signal source receiver?"

Draco: "This should be some kind of danger intuition!"

Harry felt a little helpless and speechless.

He always felt that the things he was worried about were insignificant in Lin Xia's mouth, and she even regarded it as a good thing!
Harry said: "Don't you think this is weird? I don't feel happy at all. I just think I'm weird. If possible, I don't want this ability at all!"

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, Lin Xia..."

Harry heard a voice calling them from somewhere far away and said at once:
"Look, I hear something calling me again. Don't say it's my so-called danger intuition taking effect again."

Lin Xia smiled and said, "No, Harry, we heard that sound too."

"Linxia, ​​Harry, Hermione, Draco..."

The voice drifted away and the person who called them was walking aimlessly.

Lin Xia and the others followed the sound and soon recognized who was calling them. It was Neville!
Everyone couldn't help but look at Ron.

Hermione said: "I remember that Neville was with you, how come you got lost with him?"

Ron said awkwardly, "I forgot about him when I was chatting with you guys. Neville was very slow in answering questions, so I always ignored him."

Harry quickly put on his invisibility cloak, leaving only a few firm footprints in the snow beside him.

They soon found Neville.

Neville was calling out to them from the front, his face full of anxiety. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder, and he jumped forward in fright, almost falling.

Neville turned around and saw Lin Xia and the others. He asked in confusion, "Where have you been? Didn't you say you were going to buy some candy from Honeydukes as a gift for Harry?"

Ron said, "It suddenly occurred to me that Harry said he didn't want candy as a present, so I was going to buy him something else.

I was called out just now and forgot about you, sorry Neville."

Neville shook his head: "It's okay, I'm often alone anyway."

Ron couldn't help but feel even more guilty after hearing this.

It just so happened that Lin Xia and the others also wanted to take the invisible Harry for a walk, so Lin Xia suggested: "Let's walk and stroll, and stop when we see something interesting."

Every time Hermione passed a place, she would stop to introduce it. It seemed like she was showing off her extensive knowledge, and she even mentioned tourist attractions.

Everyone else knew why Hermione did this, except Neville, but he was very happy that Hermione explained it in detail.

Because the last few times he came with Mikel, Mikel didn't like to wander around. He had a very clear purpose: to buy something and then leave.

It would be fine if she just walked alone, but she always wanted to pull him along.

Neville wanted to say "You go back first" several times, but when he met Mikel's gaze, he was a little afraid to speak.

Maybe it was because he was always under the control of Mikel, and he always felt that Mikel's serious expression was somewhat similar to that of his grandmother.

This time Hermione explained in such detail that Neville listened with great interest. It made up for the regret of having a hasty tour of Hogsmeade.

Before they knew it, they came to a remote alley.

Ron seemed to have discovered something, and pointed to the innermost villa and said, "Hermione, do you remember that we came to this shop last time? It was run by a house-elf!"

Hermione nodded and said to Lin Xia, "It's a pity that you were kicked out after coming in for a while last time, so you didn't see the medicine inside. I think it borrowed from your oriental ointments. How about going in and taking a look this time?"

Lin Xia nodded. She also wanted to know how the house-elf was doing now.

However, what they didn't expect was that this pharmacy, which used the villa as a store, actually went bankrupt!
When I walked in, I found a sign hanging there that said house for rent.

Everyone was surprised.

Ron said, "I thought there were a lot of house elves buying its products. When I came, the utensils were polished and the facilities were not outdated."

Neville asked curiously, "Is the ointment effective?"

Hermione shook her head. "The effect is poor, but it is quite unique, including the packaging used, which contains the civilization of house elves."

She said regretfully, "It's a pity that it went out of business, otherwise I would really like to talk to the manager about the history of house-elves."

Ron complained in his heart: Hermione must be thinking about freeing the house-elves again. She is always so imaginative!

Lin Xia took a deep look at the villa, moved his ears slightly, and used the supersensory spell to amplify some of the subtle sound.

Right in the villa, she heard a sound that was shallower than an ordinary person's breathing.

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows. She often heard this sound in the kitchen on the second floor of Hogwarts. It was the breathing of the house-elves.

It was obvious that there was someone in this villa, and it was most likely the store manager.

Every shop in Hogwarts has a defensive magic rune array, so theft is unlikely to happen. If it does happen, the thief can be quickly found through the surveillance provided by the defensive magic rune array.

Stealing in Hogsmeade is not worth it.

Lin Xia looked at the shop rental sign again.

The surface of the sign looks very new, as if it had just been hung up, without a trace of dust.

Lin Xia specifically said: "Since the store has closed down, let's go somewhere else to play!"

The other friends had no objection and followed Lin Xia out of the street.

But Lin Xia, who walked out of the street, quickly said to others: "Use the invisibility spell. There are house elves in that villa. I suspect the manager is deliberately hiding from us."

After she finished speaking, Lin Xia picked up the wand and waved it at herself: "Invisibility spell!"

Draco reacted quickly and immediately pointed his wand at himself: "Invisibility spell!"

Hermione also took out her wand and quickly completed the invisibility spell. The three of them were hidden in the snow, leaving only footprints on the ground.

Ron was not so quick to react. He asked first, "How can we be sure that it is the store manager who is hiding from us, and not the employees? Maybe there is a thief!"

But when he finished asking, only Neville looked him in the eye.

Ron:…

Neville:? ? ?
Ron muttered, "You guys are so fast!"

After he finished speaking, he also raised his wand and pointed it at himself, preparing to recite, but Neville quickly grabbed him and said nervously, "What are you doing?"

Ron: "Didn't you see? We need to be invisible!"

Neville: "No, the manager has a grudge against you. He is hiding from you, so you must find out the truth."

Ron tilted his head, patted his shoulder and said, "That's a good question. We have no grudges against each other, but if it really is hiding from us, then there is definitely a problem. After all, why would it hide from us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ron also cast an invisibility spell on himself.

The "Invisibility Spell" is a necessary spell for robbery. Even though it is very difficult, all members of the team use it skillfully, and Ron, who is the most lagging behind, is no exception.

He didn't know how to do that before.

But after he found out that he couldn't do it, he could never keep up with Hermione and Harry, and couldn't go on adventures, so Ron became reluctant.

The Invisibility Spell is a neutral spell that can be used for both defense and offense.

Ron's ability to cast another spell when he pronounced it did not work on this spell.

Neville threw himself forward, but hit nothing but empty air.

"Hey!" He lowered his voice and said, "Don't leave me behind. I want to follow you too. I don't know the invisibility spell, hey!"

Neville was jumping up and down on the spot, but he could no longer find Lin Xia and the others.

He knew where Lin Xia and the others would go, but was afraid of disturbing their arrangements, so he could only pace back and forth anxiously.

In a villa in a remote corner.

The store manager, O'Connor, didn't notice any little wizard outside through the defensive magic rune array and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It muttered to itself, "They are a bunch of disaster stars. It's better to leave quickly. More and more dirty dark wizards have come to Hogsmeade these days. I can smell the scent of those Death Eaters from a distance. My previous master was killed by those Death Eaters!"

Everyone thought that O'Connor was kicked out by his master because he had secretly learned his master's knowledge of pharmacy.

But only O'Connor knew that his master entrusted it with an important task because he wanted it to take good care of something.

O'Connor whispered, "I have to hide that thing somewhere far away where no one can find it, otherwise it will bring disaster..."

Thinking of this, O'Connor's eyes dimmed slightly: "Kreacher, I hope your choice is right. We are just humble house-elves. How can we go against wizards, even if they are a group of evil dark wizards!"

As it spoke the last part, it gritted its teeth, and a hatred flashed in its eyes that it itself was not even aware of.

Suddenly, the defensive magic rune array was triggered, and O'Connor looked out the window vigilantly.

But he found nothing.

O'Connor was relieved and muttered to himself, "It's time to change the defensive magic rune array. This old guy is no longer useful. Oh, gold galleons, gold galleons, those scum sold the technology too expensively..."

Outside the villa, Lin Xia and others immediately held their breath, fearing that O'Connor would come out to check and find out something.

I waited for a few minutes, but there was no movement.

Lin Xia continued to dismantle the defensive magic array, and this time Ron no longer dared to move around out of curiosity.

It was his movement just now that caused the magic array to behave strangely.

After about ten minutes, the magic array was solved, and Lin Xia and the others came to the door of the villa and quietly opened it.

The wind and snow poured into the door through the gaps, but the gaps were quickly filled up, bringing only a slight dampness.

The store manager was not on the first floor, so the little wizard held hands and quietly went up to the second floor.

O'Connor stayed in his study, with the door open, writing in his diary.

House-elves always seem to be too lonely, and their lifespan is very long. Especially when there is no owner to take care of them, they will more or less pick up some "bad habits".

For example, O'Connor likes to mutter.

Even now, when he writes in his diary, he likes to read while he writes.

[I am carrying out a great revenge plan. As long as it can be carried out successfully, I can avenge those who killed my master.

I have to find a way to lure all the dark wizards to my villa, and then detonate all the explosives buried under the villa, and die together...

It was Kreacher's choice to place the real Horcrux in Hogwarts. I do not approve of this behavior, but I respect it. Although the little wizard is innocent, I don't know which poor little wizard will be seduced into corruption by the Horcrux.

Some house-elves are very afraid of dark wizards, but they also hate them immensely. Before the rise of those dark wizards, the lives of the elves had not deteriorated so much...】

O'Connor looked at the cursive words in the diary with satisfaction.

It prefers the feel of handwriting to using an automatic quill to write for it.

It was a stylish little elf, O'Connor thought.

"Oh, by the way, I have to add my name. It's a pity that I can't use my master's surname. Oh, my poor master, he died tragically. I will avenge you, master..."

Lin Xia approached O'Connor quietly.

With her current physical condition, even someone as strong as McGonagall or Professor Snape wouldn't be able to discover her if she wanted to.

Taking advantage of O'Connor's low spirits, Lin Xia pressed the magic wand against his neck and shouted, "Don't move, or I won't be able to carry out your revenge plan!"

O'Connor wanted to struggle, but when he heard this, he immediately stood still. (End of this chapter)
