Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Harry hurriedly finished his paper for the Ancient Magical Script class in the warm common room.

He thought he didn't know many of them, but after he put pen to paper, a few basic runes echoed in his mind. He had already understood these runes very well in Lin Xia's laboratory.

In a state of absent-mindedness, trance and slight nervousness, he suddenly had a burst of inspiration and wrote a bunch of words in a very fluent manner.

Maybe it was his careless attitude that prevented him from struggling too much. He concluded the first thing he wrote without any revisions, and he completed the work faster than Ron.

Ron was flipping through the ancient magic textbook, trying to look up some information. It took him a while to find the page.

His eyes lit up as he saw an interesting interpretation, and he immediately looked up at Harry, wanting to share it with him.

But what happened was that Harry just put down his quill and waved his wand gracefully. The parchment on the table rolled up automatically and bounced into Harry's palm.

Harry tucked the parchment into his wide sleeve and stood up to leave.

Ron quickly grabbed him and said in astonishment, "Harry, you've finished writing now?"

Harry said quickly, "Well, I've finished it. I was very inspired tonight. A lot of ideas came to my mind as soon as I put pen to paper. When I came to my senses, the number of words had exceeded the minimum number of words for the paper."

"Ron, I have to go back to the dormitory first, so I won't be with you guys."

After saying this, he hurriedly left the common room. Because he was in such a hurry, he accidentally bumped into a little witch.

"what!"

The little witch uttered a cry of surprise, the cup in her hand spilling the water on her clothes.

Harry was a little flustered and quickly found some tissues to wipe the water stains on her clothes.

"Are you okay? Are you ok? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that," Harry said.

The little witch raised her head and said, "It's okay, my clothes are just a little wet. I'll just go back and change into a wizard robe."

The two looked at each other, both somewhat surprised.

"Ginny?"

"Harry!"

While they were talking, Hermione quickly packed up her books, staring at Harry not far away, and prepared to get up and leave.

Ron quickly pulled her back and asked, "Hermione, have you seen the ancient magic language paper Harry just wrote? How come he is so fast?"

Hermione pulled his hand away and said hastily, "I was watching him write. His paper was written very smoothly and his ideas were all correct. Ron, you have to speed up!"

After saying this, she also left in a hurry.

Ron looked at their backs and shrugged: "Is there any special event tonight? Why are they leaving in such a hurry?"

He lowered his head and continued to write his paper.

From his angle, he could only see the little witch's back, so he didn't recognize that it was his sister Ginny.

Hermione quickly came over to Harry and interrupted their awkward conversation.

"Do you need help?" she asked.

Hermione also saw Ginny at this time, and was a little surprised. She stretched out her hand and shook hands with her.

"Ginny, long time no see. Are you doing well in Hogwarts? If you need help with your studies, feel free to come to me."

Hermione thought that her attitude was kind, but in Ginny's eyes, it seemed a bit arrogant, with a kind of charity from a smart person.

Ginny said quickly, "Thank you, Sister Hermione, Hogwarts is fun and I am keeping up with my classes."

She left quickly.

Harry was about to leave, but Hermione stopped him, "Harry, I want to talk to you alone."

He looked at her with some confusion.

Hermione lowered her head uncomfortably and said, "Harry, I talked to Lin Xia before, and she said that my attitude towards you was not good.

When facing a friend, you shouldn't make strong accusations right away and pessimistically assume that something bad will happen to him, so I'm sorry for my unwarranted suspicion of you before. I want to say sorry to you. "

Harry fell silent, his expression flickering, and he said nothing.

Hermione: "I don't know if you are free now. I want to find a time to talk to you alone about the changes in you."

Harry frowned slightly. He thought Hermione would not mention this matter again after apologizing to him, but she wanted to talk to him again...

Does she still believe that he has been bewitched by the evil god's whisperings and will do something detrimental to the witch world?
Harry's expression turned cold, and he said stiffly, "I haven't had time recently. Lin Xia arranged a very challenging experimental topic for me, and I want to complete it alone.

Hermione, let's talk after I finish my homework. I have to go back to the dormitory to rest first."

Harry felt his heart pounding as he reached the end and almost trotted out of the common room.

No one knew that his left hand, hidden in his sleeve, had always been tightly holding something. Even when he was writing a paper, he never took his left hand out for fear that it would be discovered by Hermione and Ron.

——The daughter of the illusory snail!

Lin Xia had a private chat with him before, and not only asked him to carefully study the emotional power of "confidence", believing that it would be very useful to him, but also later stuffed a snail into his hand.

Lin Xia blinked at Harry, her amber eyes seemed to contain stars.

"Harry, I trust you will take care of this item, won't you?"

The surprise came so suddenly that Harry didn't know how he answered, nor how he ended up in the Gryffindor public message room in a daze.

At this moment, he held the conch tightly and just wanted to return to the dormitory to think carefully about how to use it.

He couldn't miss the opportunity Lin Xia gave him.

In his eyes, this is not only a rare thing, but also a manifestation of Lin Xia's trust in him.

Harry's heart was beating fast and he felt a warmth in his chest.

He had never been so sure at this moment that Lin Xia was his friend. It was really great!

After Lin Xia and Draco arrived at the Hufflepuff common room, they answered some of the little wizards' questions and found a spot on the grass to sit down.

In public, they did not discuss Harry and what happened in the laboratory, but talked about tomorrow's Ancient Magical Script class.

There are very few courses at Hogwarts that have class representatives. Professors prefer to interact with each wizard and observe their performance in class. Their regular scores will also be included in the final total score.

But there are always some exceptions, such as the ancient magic text class.

This course is very difficult.

If 10 wizards listen, maybe only one will understand, and even if he does, he may be confused.

If the professor wanted to teach every wizard basic magic runes, it would be an impossible task, which would be equivalent to retraining every young wizard.

Therefore, there is a class representative for the Ancient Demonic Literature class.

The role of the class representative is to collect the essays written by the wizards, and also to answer some ordinary questions that have no real value.

It can be said that since Lin Xia became the class representative of the Ancient Magic Language class, she would be responsible for the group of little wizards who could not understand anything at all.

It may seem like a lot to do, but it is not.

The Ancient Demonic Script class is very special. If you understand, you understand. If you don’t understand, you don’t understand. If you are forced to understand even if you don’t understand, you will only become more confused. So it was very easy for Lin Xia to be the class representative.

However, when she thought about the fact that the ancient magic runes had a certain resistance to the invasion of the evil god's world, and that the magic runes, alchemical items, and strange objects made with the ancient magic runes could all fight against the evil god's whispers, she had an idea.

“Can we help more young wizards understand the meaning of basic runes? We don’t require them to strengthen or deepen their knowledge, but only need them to understand the simplest meaning.

Then it will play a certain role in exploring the evil god's world or resisting the invasion of the evil god's whispers in the future."

Lin Xia said so and gave an example: "For example, if you find a strange object that can resist the evil god's whispers, even if you don't know what the strange object does, you only need to understand one of the basic magic words on the strange object to half guess the function of the strange object.

Not only rare items, but also alchemical items and magic runes can be identified through the basic magic runes above."

Draco nodded. "Your idea is very good. I think this is similar to a kind of literacy campaign against ancient magic words."

He changed the subject: "Although I haven't learned all the basic magic words, I know it is very difficult to recognize all the basic magic words.

One magic word has more than a dozen meanings, and it has different meanings in different situations and with different words. "

Draco said sharply: "You want all the young wizards to understand the basic runes, which is impossible. Even Professor Babel can't do it.

Moreover, even if you only memorize one or two definitions, the combination of ancient magic words is very complex. Just knowing the basic definitions may not necessarily mean you can understand the true meaning.

Many of the meanings in the basic magic runes are very similar, some represent 'conduction', some represent 'transmission', and some represent 'introduction'... They all look very similar, but the effects they create when put into strange objects are very different."

He pointed out a risk: "When young wizards do not fully understand the basic magic runes, asking them to guess the magic runes on the magic runes or strange objects may harm them instead."

Although the risk is great, Lin Xia has other ideas.

The reason why she thought it was possible to let the young wizard memorize certain basic magic runes was because she had seen many magic rune arrays and strange objects, and found that the meanings of some basic magic runes were fixed in the arrays and strange objects.

So much so that she had guessed what a certain formation was used for just by looking at the magic words in it.

Once you get a rare item, you will know how to use it to maximize its power.

After hearing Lin Xia's thoughts, Draco also became a little uncertain.

"I don't have as much knowledge as you do. You might as well go and discuss this with Professor Babeling. If you really want to promote the interpretation of some basic magic runes, you will definitely need the professor's help."

He didn't know what he was thinking of, so he asked again: "By the way, since you have this idea, have you also thought about how to promote basic magic runes?"

Draco felt that Lin Xia was playing a big game.

She is not one to make a fuss over a small matter.

If she really wanted to promote basic magic runes, she would probably not only promote it to the young wizards who had chosen to take the ancient magic rune class, but also to expand the audience group.

Lin Xia smiled and said, "I do have some immature ideas, so I wanted to ask for your opinions in advance."

She thought for a moment and said cryptically, "I just thought that if the ancient magic words can really play a big role in fighting against the evil god's whispers, then it is inevitable that this knowledge will be promoted.

In the past, if we wanted to gain more powerful strength, we could only read banned books, but the more we read banned books, the more we would face the intrusion of evil gods’ whispers.

The more you desire the power of knowledge, the more susceptible you will be to the temptation of evil gods. This is a vicious cycle. The greater the risk, the greater the power you gain.

But you also saw that the subject of Ancient Demonic Script is also extremely powerful. It can not only fight against the evil gods, but also bring many changes to the wizarding world and improve the lives of wizards..."

When Draco was learning ancient magic runes, he was also fascinated by this ancient magic language system.

If the requirements for learning this knowledge were not so high and talent was not highly valued, such an excellent magic power system should have been fully promoted long ago!

only……

"I believe that not only Hogwarts, but also many wizards in the outside world have noticed that the ancient magic runes are very useful, especially in fighting against the evil god's whispers. But why didn't they promote it, and instead let us little wizards work hard to find a solution?"

Draco asked, confused.

In response, Lin Xia shrugged her shoulders. She couldn't understand it either.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Xia first checked the offspring of the Illusionary Snail.

Just by looking at Ziluo for a few seconds, her mind was drawn into the scene recorded by Ziluo.

It was naturally impossible for her to restore the time 1:1 and stay honestly in the scene recorded by Ziluo.

After figuring out how to use the Illusion Snail, Lin Xia immediately chose to fast forward.

In just half an hour, she finished reading all the records for the day.

Among them, the diary and picture frame imprisoned in the forbidden magic box did not make any movement today.

Seeing this, Lin Xia exited the record of the Illusionary Snail and opened a diary.

At the top it says -

"Observation Records of Experiments with Voldemort's Soul Fragments"

Lin Xia picked up the feather pen and wrote a line of words elegantly:

On the first day, after the recording items were introduced, nothing unusual was found.
-
The next morning.

There was a thick layer of frost outside the windows in the public lounge, and the conservative temperature outside was between minus 5 and 10 degrees Celsius.

Even though the little wizard was in a warm lounge, he couldn't help but shudder when he saw this scene, as if he had already experienced the severe cold outside.

Suddenly, a little wizard pointed at a small dot outside the window in surprise: "Isn't that Senior Sister Lin Xia? It's so cold, is she still running?"

After Harry and the others came out of the dormitory, they saw the little wizards huddled in the narrow tower window, peeking out and looking at something.

Harry, Ron and Hermione walked over and heard the cheers of the little wizards.

"Come on, Senior Sister Lin Xia! No matter how strong the wind and snow are, they can't stop her from moving forward!"

"She's surpassed another person. Others are still running one lap, but she's already run three laps. Senior Sister Lin Xia's physical fitness is really strong!"

"I found that those who still insisted on running were basically Hufflepuff students. Their yellow scarves were particularly eye-catching."

Some of the little wizards were suddenly stimulated, their blood was ignited, and they said excitedly:

"No, we are brave Gryffindors, we must also be brave enough to take on challenges. Who will go down and run with me?!"

"I!"

"I'm coming too!"

The group of little wizards ran out of the tower in groups, humming unknown nursery rhymes.

"There are four people in Hogwarts
A Gryffindor whose bravery was called recklessness

A Slytherin whose ambitions were called mediocre

……

They all have one thing in common, that is, they like Hogwarts~
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, their favorite home~"

Harry looked at their thin clothes and couldn't help but remind them: "Can't you put on more clothes?"

A little wizard proudly replied: "If Senior Sister Lin Xia doesn't wear it, then neither will we!"

Harry could only smile. (End of chapter)
