Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Hermione was stunned for a moment, "Do you think Harry is mentally ill?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "Schizophrenia does not necessarily lead to mental illness, it just has some similar symptoms.

It's like Harry can always see another picture in his mind, which seems to be suddenly added, but in fact it is still seen by his body, but from a different perspective. "

Hermione pondered, "According to your explanation, you think that the images he suddenly saw and the sounds he heard were actually a kind of ability of his.

He can hear and see, but he didn’t have this ability before, so it feels strange, but in fact, this is an ability he already has.”

Lin Xia nodded: "Yes, I still tend to believe that the unknown images and sounds that Harry can hear and see now are all due to his special abilities.

It takes a process for abilities to awaken, and maybe he will see and hear more images and sounds later."

Hermione said calmly, "You make sense. We also speculated in this direction at first, but we were contaminated and confused by the evil god's whispers, which also led us in the same direction.

If Harry's recent behavior hadn't been getting weirder, I wouldn't have guessed the second way. Lin Xia, I hope Harry can be healthy more than you do. He is one of my best friends in Hogwarts. "

Precisely because Harry was so important to her, she would rather be extremely cautious and take the most pessimistic attitude towards this matter, make the worst-case scenario plan, and intervene in advance by all means she could think of.

After Hermione left, Draco looked at Lin Xia with concern and whispered:

"I don't know why, but my hunch tells me that something is wrong with Harry. Even if it is not related to the evil god's whispers, it is still a relatively important matter that can affect Harry's fate."

Lin Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she took Draco's premonition very seriously.

Let’s not talk about the mysterious connection between wizards for now.

No matter whether it is a wizard or a cultivator, as long as they have cultivated to a high level, the strong ones can often sense things related to themselves in advance.

It could be a good thing or a bad thing.

But even though we can sense something, we cannot know specifically what it is, so we cannot effectively take countermeasures in advance.

But their wizard level is still very low, especially Draco, whose overall ability is several levels lower than his.

He suddenly had a premonition related to Harry, which must be a sudden impulse brought about by practicing the "Purple Gold Mysterious Records".

Lin Xia has experienced the feeling of being inspired on a whim several times, and from childhood to adulthood, all of them have proven that her ideas are correct.

Although the premonition was not about herself, but about Harry... she thought that Draco had been in close contact with Harry recently, so it was normal for him to trigger the induction of close people.

Lin Xia tapped her forehead gently with her fingers, occasionally brushing her temples.

Unfortunately, her Eye of Destiny was not triggered during this period, so she could not see Harry's condition, and the Compass of Destiny did not make any predictions related to Harry.

If she could get some fragments of prophecy from Harry and see his future destiny, she would know what to do.

Lin Xia groaned and said, "You have been working with Harry recently. I think Hermione's attitude is a bit extreme, which will cause resistance from Harry.

If you want to get to know someone quickly, you don’t have to fight him, but rather get into his heart and take the initiative to share your world with him.”

She paused, "I'm a little worried that Hermione might do something drastic."
-
By the time the friends finished their experiments, it was already evening, and everyone went to the auditorium to have dinner together.

They are going to participate in the patrol mission on the third floor tonight. Originally, Lin Xia wanted to take over the fourth floor, but for some reason, the fourth floor was completely taken over by the professor.

Even an outstanding student like Lin Xia cannot take on the patrol mission on the fourth floor. According to other outstanding students, the patrol on the fourth floor is now composed of professors.

The school has specially organized a team of professors who will appear in every corner.

Hermione said, "I always thought there was something wrong with the grocery store on the fourth floor. Unfortunately, it was Professor Snape who was stationed on the fourth floor before. He would not let the little wizard explore the fourth floor alone. Every time he found any unusual movement, he would let others leave first."

The Weasley twins also came over and just heard what Hermione said, their eyes moved slightly.

George: "Maybe we can explore the fourth floor in another way."

Fred: "A more secretive one, without anyone finding out."

George: “But this requires the help of one person.”

George and Fred looked at Harry together: "What do you think?"

Harry: "Huh?"

He was thinking about something else, and when he heard the two people's questions, it took him a while to realize that they were talking about the invisibility cloak.

Harry hesitated a little: "This is not a good idea. There must be danger on the 4th floor, so they have to implement full professor patrols."

Ron's adventurous spirit was ready to act: "What if we don't go near the grocery store? We can just take a look at the edge of the fourth floor and know what the professor is doing."

Hermione was about to say something when Lin Xia and Draco's voices were heard.

Lin Xia: "I advise you not to do this."

Draco: "I just received a message from Professor McGonagall. I had an appointment with her tonight to ask her about Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall told me to change the date and asked me to pick a time to see her later. She also has to participate in the patrol on the fourth floor."

Lin Xia and Draco said together: "We have received a reminder from Professor McGonagall that you must not go to the 4th floor during this period. They will set up relevant defense and detection magic runes on the 4th floor to find all the contaminants hidden on the 4th floor."

Hermione thought of something and immediately took out the secret key to open the excellent student interface.

Originally, Harry and Ron couldn't see this interface, but since they participated in the patrol mission, the school had opened up some permissions, so they could also see the blue light screen displayed in front of Hermione.

Hermione's mailbox was blinking.

When she clicked on it, she saw that Professor McGonagall had also sent her a message, also talking about the full installation of detection defenses and detection magic rune arrays on the 4th floor.

The Weasley twins wanted to say something, but Lin Xia calmly interrupted them, saying, "Seniors, if you are curious, you can go by yourselves, but don't bring Harry with you."

Draco also said: "Harry still has a lot of research to do, he wants to be my assistant."

Ron: "I want Harry to do his homework with me."

Hermione glared at the twins: "Don't lead Harry astray."

George and Fred shrugged together and said nothing more, just giving Harry a "you are so pitiful" look.

After the two left, Lin Xia was worried that Harry and his group might sneak away, so she reminded them:

“There may not be any contaminants on the 4th floor, but if they are discovered, the professor will probably call on outstanding students like us to remove the contaminants.

After all, with the professors’ abilities, removing low-level pollutants is no longer effective for them, but it is very effective for us students, and the professors are willing to give us the opportunity to benefit.”

It means take your time and don't rush.

Instead of going to check secretly, it is better to wait for dispatch openly.

In the first and second grades, they had no power and insufficient authority, so if they wanted to know something, they could only do it secretly.

But in the third year, everyone has unlocked the corresponding permissions and has obtained more and more resources in Hogwarts.

At this time, we should change our strategy and stop doing sneaky things. Lin Xia wanted her friends to gradually change their mindset. If they still held on to their past attitudes, they would not only suffer losses, but also be easily discovered.

In the first and second grades, they could still use the excuse of being young and ignorant to get the professor to excuse them, but in the third year, these excuses no longer worked.

After dinner, they all decided to return to their respective common rooms.

Tonight Ron and Harry both have to work on the paper that Professor Babel assigned after the last class, and tomorrow they have Ancient Runes class and have to hand in their homework.

"Harry." Lin Xia suddenly called Harry, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Harry turned to look at Hermione, Ron and Draco, confused.

But he found that these friends were even more confused than he was.

Ron kicked his feet and said a little dissatisfiedly: "Lin Xia wants to tell Harry something, and she has to tell Harry alone. Can't we listen?"

Compared to him, Hermione and Draco seemed very calm.

Ron continued to chatter, his words somewhat sarcastic: "She's not going to give Harry some special treatment, is she?"

Hermione looked at him speechlessly: "Didn't you notice that the two of them have one thing in common?"

Ron: "What's going on?"

Draco said, "Lin Xia and Harry have both learned the Patronus Charm. I remember Professor Lupin asked them to practice separately from us. The professor will give them further guidance. Lin Xia called Harry to talk about this, I think."

Hermione didn't say anything. Ron tried to hold it in, but still couldn't help muttering, "It's just the Patronus Charm. It's not like we can't accept it. Do we need to talk to us alone..."

Hermione frowned slightly. She shared the same opinion as Ron on this point.

But Lin Xia's name is Harry, and it really is related to the Patronus Charm.

First, she informed Harry that Professor Lupin had changed the teaching time. She had met Professor Lupin before, and the professor told her about it and asked her to tell Harry at the same time.

Another point is also related to the Patronus Charm, but the main one is the power of emotions.

Lin Xia asked: "Harry, have you ever firmly thought that you can accomplish something?"

Harry was slightly startled by the question.

Lin Xia: "You can think carefully and firmly believe that you can accomplish something. This is the power of self-confidence."

She said meaningfully: "Confidence can not only bring great power to magic, but also infect oneself and make one's mental outlook better.

I think that your recent confusion may be solved by using the power of emotions to make a fundamental change and fight against the unknown that you cannot see. "

Harry's eyelids twitched, and he asked with some difficulty: "Lin Xia, do you know something?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "I actually don't know anything, I just have some hunches, but these hunches are very vague and not necessarily accurate."

She thought about it and expressed Draco's premonition.

"There is some kind of problem with you. This problem may determine your future fate. I don't know what your problem is, but maybe you know it yourself."

Harry's face turned a little anxious, "No, I don't, I don't think there's anything wrong with me!

Lin Xia, are you like Hermione, thinking that I have been affected by the evil god's whispers? But I really haven't. I don't think there is anything wrong with my body!"

Lin Xia smiled at him reassuringly, her eyes firm and warm.

Harry's excitement slowly calmed down.

Lin Xia said slowly: "Perhaps you are the only one who knows the answer to this question, or even you may not understand it, but the only thing that is certain is that the question exists.

I don’t know how to help you solve this problem. It’s better to rely on yourself than on others. In the end, you still have to solve it yourself. After thinking about it, I’m afraid that the only thing that can help you at this stage is your emotions.”

She said carefully: "Harry, we cast the Patronus Charm with a happy mood, and you know the power of the Patronus Charm.

If you replace happiness with another positive emotion, maybe you can fundamentally change yourself... I don't know if you have discovered that you have always been very inferior. "

Harry trembled all over as if something had hit home.

He tried to force himself to calm down, but he couldn't.

I can't pretend to smile and say no, and I can't deny my inferiority complex from the bottom of my heart.

Whenever he was awakened from his dreams in the middle of the night, he would always think of what happened when he lived in the Dursleys' house.

The attic was so narrow that I had to bend my legs to sleep, the cold and hard bread, the socks with exposed toes, the strange looks, the endless complaints...

"Harry, you should be grateful for everything we have given you. If we hadn't taken you in out of pity, you would probably have become a homeless child under a bridge!"

"My poor Dudley, he should have gone to a better primary school, but it's because of you! In order to provide you with tuition, Dudley has to go to the same primary school as you!"

"Harry, why don't you disappear from this world with your parents? Then we won't have to take you in out of moral obligation!"

"Harry, you've always been very self-deprecating."

——Lin Xia’s words and her previous life at the Dursleys’ house echoed in Harry’s mind.

"Harry, Harry, Harry!!"

Suddenly, Ron's voice exploded in Harry's ears like a thunder.

Harry came back to his senses and saw Ron's worried look.

"Harry, are you okay?

Ever since you returned to the common room after chatting with Lin Xia, you have been in a distracted state. What are you thinking about?
You look pale, are you feeling unwell again? Or did Lin Xia tell you something scary? You look like you haven't slept for three days and three nights."

Hermione also looked at him worriedly.

Harry looked around and saw that he was sitting next to a roaring fireplace.

The fireplace was warm, but his body did not feel hot. Instead, he broke out in cold sweat.

Harry took a few deep breaths and shook his head, "I'm in good health, nothing's wrong with me. I was just...thinking about what Lin Xia told me."

He took the initiative to explain: "Lin Xia said that she made a prophecy related to me and decided to tell me."

Ron let out a long "Oh" and whispered, "So that's it. I wanted to tell you alone. I thought you had a secret with her and were going to abandon us."

Harry: "Ron, Lin Xia is not that kind of person."

Hermione was obviously relieved. (End of this chapter)
