Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

"Professor." Harry spoke up, interrupting Ron's embarrassment in time.

Professor Lupin seemed relieved to see him and said very quickly:
"Harry, you're here just in time. You and Ron can exchange experiences on the Patronus Charm. I have something to do and need to leave."

He stood up and walked out hurriedly.

As if thinking of something, he turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, if you don't have a place to communicate, I don't mind lending you my office, and you can chat as much as you want."

He specifically said, “You can stay here until curfew.”

Ron stared blankly at the professor's back as he left, then turned to Harry and said, "Did I do something wrong? Why do I feel like the professor is avoiding me?"

It's not a feeling, Harry thought to himself, it's clearly this.

But he didn't want to make his friend too sad, so he said, "I think you have something important to do, Ron, do you want to exchange ideas here?"

Ron shook his head: "Forget it, I just wanted to say something because I saw Professor Lupin, but now he's gone, let's go.

This is the professor's office, and I always feel like it's weird for the two of us to stay here."

Harry and Ron went for a walk outside, but there was nowhere to go, so Ron had to return to the laboratory.

As for Harry, after seeing Captain Wood training silently, he felt overwhelmed with guilt and finally decided to go to the Quidditch field for special training.

Just now he seemed to see George and Fred there too, so he could borrow the survival map from them.
-
Ron returned to the laboratory and found that Hermione and Draco were still practicing the Patronus Charm. The light emitted by their Patronus Charm was so dazzling that it could catch up with his!

Originally Ron wanted to be lazy and used the excuse of going to the laboratory to do experiments, but in fact he just wanted to relax and rest.

But after seeing the two people's great progress, Ron was silent for a while, and finally couldn't resist the nervousness in his heart, and silently joined the practice queue.

He just met Professor Lupin, who gave him some advice.

Ron asked at the time: "Professor, how can I make the Patronus Charm more powerful?"

Professor Lupin replied: "At your age, you can't expect the magic power in your body to increase and drive the power of the spell to increase, so you can only practice makes perfect.

You can practice more, or if you really can't do it, you can practice more. It's always better than daydreaming. Actual practice is the best teacher.

There are many young wizards who can cast very standard spells in class, but when faced with danger, they often fail to cast them. That's because they have too little practical experience. I suggest you find a few Dementors to practice with yourself."

At that time, Ron thought: He would be crazy to go looking for Dementors, not Draco and Hermione, those two crazy people!

but now--

The oppressive feeling of being overtaken urged him to think, forget it, he should find some time to fight the Dementors!

It would be fine if he didn't know how to use the Patronus Charm before, but he learned it earlier than his two friends, but he was overtaken later...

Even Ron, who has the least ambition, doesn't want to fall behind.

On the other side, the other side of Hogwarts.

Two hours had passed, but under the watchful eyes of the guardian, Lin Xia still stood motionless in front of the store manager's prison.

This puzzled the Guardian.

After all, Lin Xia had finished asking questions an hour ago, and there had been no movement since then.

Perhaps this is some special way of observation by the researcher...

The guardian did not think much about it and silently kept the strange object [Prison Cage] open. He would keep it open as long as Lin Xia wanted to stay.

Originally, the guardian would have thought that his energy consumption would increase. After all, if someone was imprisoned in this strange object, these people would temporarily become part of the strange object and would not consume his power.

But visitors like Lin Xia cannot be assimilated into part of the strange object, and at the same time they have to maintain their safety and prevent them from being disturbed by the evil god's whispering, so a lot of magic power and mental energy are often consumed.

Two hours is the maximum time set by the guardian for outsiders, and it is also for safety reasons.

For more than two hours, every minute and every second thereafter was a test of their physical strength and willpower.

But this time it was unexpected, the guardian felt that he had not consumed much energy.

Especially on Lin Xia's side, he didn't need to use magic power to maintain it at all. The concentration of the evil god's whispers around her was very low, almost cleared out.

Because the guardian himself does not have a physique that is completely resistant to the evil god's whispers. To be honest, this physique is a legendary physique. Since the test disk was produced, no one has been able to reach this level of "complete resistance".

Therefore, the guardian is not sure whether the special situation around Lin Xia is the effect of her special physique.

If so……

The guardian secretly clicked his tongue, Lin Xia is simply a powerful weapon against the world of evil gods!

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, the third hour passed.

Professor McGonagall saw that Lin Xia had not returned yet, so she couldn't help but ask the guardian: "Is my student safe in there?"

The guardian said with a very strange expression: "Professor, it is safer than I thought. There is almost no evil god whispering around her. I don't need to expend any energy to protect her."

Professor McGonagall was also startled when she heard this.

The guardian asked: "Have you conducted any other tests on her? Is this the effect of completely resisting the evil god's whispering physique?"

Mag said uncertainly, "That should be the case. The school has not conducted strict tests on her. She is still a student after all. We will not assign her any dangerous tasks."

She thought for a moment and then said, “And Lin Xia’s physique is very special. She is also an oriental sorcerer and possesses the legendary dragon bloodline.

It is said that the dragons of the East are omnipotent and are different from our dragons."

"Eastern Dragon?"

The guardian muttered to himself, and suddenly he understood.

“No wonder… I have met oriental sorcerers when I was traveling. They don’t use magic wands, but prefer to use spells and mahogany swords. They have many magical abilities.

Their belief is the dragon, saying that it is the source of all their power. If the dragon is still in the world, there will be no place for the so-called evil spirits and monsters. "

The guardian said seriously, "By the way, the polluters who invaded the evil god's world are called Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang. I asked them how to write them. It's very difficult to write, but it's pretty cool."

Out of respect for the magical oriental world, the guardian believes that these are Lin Xia's unique talents.

Time passed quickly again and the fourth hour arrived.

The Guardian and Professor McGonagall were already tired of standing, so they transformed a set of tea sets, tables, and chairs, sat down, and drank their tea leisurely.

Professor McGonagall also took out some cookies from the kitchen from her Retractable Ring and ate them slowly with the Guardian.

The guardian sighed: "The food at Hogwarts is still so good. I want to go in and have a meal."

Professor McGonagall said calmly: "It wasn't that good before. Many of the novel snack ideas were thought up by Lin Xia, who said they were all passed down from her hometown.

By the way, would you like some milk tea? It’s a novel drink, no worse than the one brewed by the wizard himself.”

The guard immediately became interested: "Give me a try!"

The fifth hour passed... the sixth hour passed...

As the seventh hour was about to pass, Lin Xia finally moved and slowly came out holding a kerosene lamp high.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stay, but during her practice, she found that the kerosene lamp was about to burn out.

This kerosene lamp is very special. It has the effect of dispelling black fog and protecting itself. Lin Xia doesn't want to move forward in the dark.

Although she carried a glow candle with her, she was not sure whether it would work in the special environment of a prison.

Even if it works, can it replace kerosene lamps?

So when it was about to burn out, Lin Xia still chose to come out.

She felt very refreshed during this practice.

And it was not known whether she had sucked away all the evil god's whispers near the store manager, and the manager with a dull look in his eyes had a brief moment of clarity.

He knew that he didn't have much time left, so he was not surprised to see Lin Xia. Instead, he calmly asked her if she had brought any video recording equipment or something, as he wanted to record his last words.

Lin Xia said yes.

She originally thought that the store manager would say something very sentimental to his relatives, but she didn't expect that the recording was about the distribution of Honeydukes' property!
The store manager made it clear that he wanted to leave the store to his only daughter and that no one was allowed to encroach on his store.

At the same time, he swore that he was currently in a very sober state and was not talking nonsense.

After helping the store manager record the property distribution, he soon fell into a daze again. Seeing this, Lin Xia left as the kerosene lamp was running low.

The view on the way out is better than when you came in.

She didn't hear any wailing, and Lin Xia didn't turn around to look at the road she had walked.

As long as she turned her head, she would find it.

The shadow of her back was completely integrated into the darkness, which clung to her body, and her body became the boundary between light and darkness.

There is darkness behind me and bright light in front of me.

The darkness stretched out a sharp shadow like a parasite, trying to touch Lin Xia's body.

But the next moment, it seemed to be severely burned and quickly twisted back into the shadow.

But Lin Xia was unaware of this.

After she went out, she only saw Professor McGonagall and asked, "Professor, how long have I been in here?"

"Nearly seven hours," Mag said.

Lin Xia secretly compared the passage of time in the two places in her mind. She felt that she had stayed in prison for much more than seven hours.

After all, she also checked the manager's previous videos. Even though she had adjusted the speed of the videos very quickly, she still watched them all in those days, which took at least seven hours.

The subsequent tests, questioning of other store clerks, and even longer training...she stayed in there for at least one day.

Sure enough, the speed of time flowing in the two places is very different.

McGonagall suddenly said, "Lin Xia, you should also thank the caretaker here. Hogwarts originally only prepared two hours for you, but the caretaker liked your invention very much, so he took the initiative to extend the time for you."

Lin Xia understood and only set a time limit. Firstly, this place was indeed somewhat dangerous. Secondly, this place might not be opened casually and a price would be required.

This makes the overtime very valuable, and she doesn't have to pay any price, otherwise Professor McGonagall wouldn't have reminded her specifically.

Lin Xia immediately said: "Thank you, Guardian. Can I meet him? I want to give him some small gifts."

Mag said meaningfully, "It's not convenient for him to meet you. You can leave the gift here. If you don't have it with you, I can bring it in for you next time."

Lin Xia smiled and said, "No need for next time. I brought it with me."

Since she likes her inventions so much, she might as well give her a hardcover edition of all her inventions!

It is packed in a gift box, the packaging and materials are very careful, and the research items in the hardcover edition are made of the best materials. The ordinary version cannot compare with it.

She is just a student. How much money can a student have?

Lin Xia met more and more big shots, and sometimes she worried about what to give them to express her gratitude. Finally, she came up with the idea of ​​inventing something herself.

The gift may be small but the thought is great, just express your feelings.

What's even better is if you give someone a hardcover copy of your invention as a gift, maybe they can use it, which is even better.

Lin Xia placed the gift box on the table and was about to leave with Professor McGonagall, but the next second, the gift box disappeared in front of her.

She was startled for a moment, then smiled.

Although it was inconvenient for the guard to see her, he used this method to greet her.

Lin Xia nodded slowly in the direction where the gift box disappeared and expressed her gratitude again.

After coming out of the inner world, it was already night.

Lin Xia did not go to the laboratory, but went directly to the dormitory to rest.

This time she did not continue to practice, but took a day off to sleep.

Only by combining work and rest can you go further.

the other side.

Draco received a letter from a bird in the dormitory. Knowing that Lin Xia had returned, he walked out of the dormitory, left the Hufflepuff common room, and came to the corridor on the second floor.

He did not go to find Lin Xia, but went to find Professor McGonagall.

Since Lin Xia has returned, Professor McGonagall must be in the office as well. Draco walked in a hurry and he didn't know if he could stop the professor.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door and a voice said "Come in".

Draco breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.

Professor McGonagall looked at him with a serious face, "Draco, what do you want from me?"

Draco didn't waste any words and said concisely: "Professor, I would like to apply to read the banned book."

Mag frowned slightly, "The forbidden book space has been turbulent recently. I don't recommend the young wizard to go there. The risk is greater than usual. The evil god's whispers in the forbidden book are more active than before."

After Lin Xia invented the knowledge-based game, Mag no longer wanted the young wizard to gain power by reading banned books.

Since there is a safer method, why let students choose the more dangerous path?

Even if that path can be accomplished quickly.

Della said firmly: "Professor, I think I am very resistant to the evil god's whispers. How about we test it again? Maybe my physique has changed." (End of this chapter)
