Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

A certain thought in my mind was about to come out, as if it was about to unveil the mysterious veil, but every time it always fell just short of the mark, and this time was no exception.

Lin Xia thought about it over and over again and felt that this idea was good, but there were still some things missing before it could be completed.

Because this flash of inspiration was only a flash and she didn't catch it in time, nor did she trigger the destiny compass to help her deduce, so this inspiration ended in vain.

But Lin Xia has kept this inspiration in mind and would think about it from time to time. Maybe he will be able to come up with a solution next time.

Following the detailed instructions on the Destiny Compass, Lin Xia first created a devil vine with only 80% restoration effectiveness.

The production was completed quickly. Looking at the brand new binding wand, Lin Xia pondered for a moment and decided not to proceed.

What was publicly announced was the magic wand with 80% binding effect.

As for the 100% binding effect that follows, she will circulate it in the form of fine and hardcover editions, but the number of such editions will definitely not be large and will not pose any threat to her.

On the contrary, magic wands with 150% or 200% binding bonus effects must never be circulated.

Once the news gets out, I'm afraid she will really be captured by some special agency.

But it is okay for personal use.

She planned to find some time to make a batch for herself, only for herself and those close to her.

Lin Xia spent the entire afternoon in the laboratory and finally left to go to the auditorium for lunch.

She didn't know that Mikel had been waiting in the auditorium for an entire afternoon.

"Lin Xia!" As soon as he saw her appear, Mikel called her and walked over quickly.

Lin Xia nodded at him. "Mikel, what do you want to talk to me about? Why do you look so anxious? Is the professor calling me?"

Mickel was originally very anxious and depressed, with an anger accumulating in his chest that he couldn't even explain.

The root of this anger comes from extreme panic.

If he is not the most special person in this world, and if a second time traveler appears in this world, will he form an alliance with Lin Xia, or get rid of her to ensure his unique advantage?
But when Lin Xia's clear voice suddenly called out like this, Mikel seemed to come back to his senses from the illusion, and his wandering thoughts came down to earth, and he stopped thinking about it.

Mikkel shook his head and said, "It's not the professor who's looking for you, it's me who's looking for you for something."

He looked at Lin Xia inquiringly, "Are you a time traveler? Have you ever heard of the concept of time travel or traveling through a book?"

Lin Xia frowned slightly. In fact, she was also very confused.

Based on the clips she had seen in the Destiny Compass before, she knew that Mikel had the ability to predict the future.

She thought this was a demonstration of Mikel's predictive ability, and his way of predicting was to write the story into a book.

Everything that will happen to the protagonists in the future is recorded in the book.

She read several of his diaries, compared them with reality, and found that his predictions were very accurate.

If there is no change in the character's personality, it is very likely that he will go in the direction of the prophecy.

And now, Mikkel actually asked her whether she traveled through time or through a book...

She had heard these two statements in her previous life, but only in casual conversation.

It is said that before the world went into destruction, people's lives were abundant and many people liked to read novels.

At that time, time travel and traveling through books were very popular, and almost every protagonist started out by traveling through time or through a book, or by being reborn.

But Lin Xia knew that this concept did not exist in the wizarding world.

Lin Xia asked: "Mikel, what is time travel or book travel?"

It was as if the hammer in his chest had finally fallen to the ground, and Mikel let out a long breath. He didn't know whether he was expecting something to happen or was glad that nothing happened.

Mikel explained the concepts of time travel and book traveling while observing Lin Xia's reaction.

He could more or less guess what people were thinking through their expressions, especially the little wizards, and could visualize all the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on their faces.

All he observed from Lin Xia was confusion.

Lin Xia really didn’t know these two words.

Mikel then explained, and after he finished, Lin Xia asked in return: "Why do you think I am a time traveler or a book traveler?"

She paused, and said with a half-smile, "You don't think I came back from some point in the future, and deliberately showed my power in the present world, and came up with many inventions that seem to be from the future, in order to save the world that is about to be destroyed in the future, right?"

Mikel choked and quickly shook his head.

"That's not my idea. I saw these two words in a novel and thought they were very similar to yours, so I came here to ask you."

Lin Xia said: "Mikel, I am not from the future. I can swear to you - if I were from the future, I would have made no achievements in the field of magic, and there would be no new inventions!"

Mikel's expression seemed embarrassed, but he was actually observing Lin Xia.

Seeing that she even swore, my body and mind felt a little relieved.

Lin Xia continued, "As for what you said about traveling through a book, that is even more impossible. The world we live in is a complete world, and the world described in the book is far from the real world.

If we think of our world as a book, then what is bound to happen in the book would be an insult to all of us wizards.

How can we become puppets of books and act according to what the books want us to do?
We are human beings, living beings with self-awareness. No one can make decisions for us, not even that magical book."

All the doubts in Mikel's heart disappeared at this moment. Only a true wizard would think so.

If one were a time traveler or a book reader, they would only secretly congratulate themselves for their foresight and the unpredictability of things that are destined to happen.

Mikkel apologized: “I’m sorry Lin Xia, I shouldn’t have doubted you, you are the smartest wizard I have ever met.

You have a great talent for research and have invented many powerful wands and other alchemical items. I admire you very much, so I hope you come from the future and become the savior of the wizarding world."

Lin Xia shook her head gently and whispered, "Mikel, I am not a savior. The real savior has appeared, and that is Harry Potter."

Mikkel frowned. "You think so too. You think he was born with a great talent for magic and even killed Voldemort?"

"if not?"

Lin Xia asked back: "Voldemort was indeed killed by Harry. Everyone thinks so. Although I did not find the power in him that could kill Voldemort, I think he hid this power."

Mikkel was puzzled: "Why hide it? Harry's magical talent is obviously mediocre. Maybe the truth back then was not what we thought."

Lin Xia said as a matter of course: "Of course he needs to hide. If he doesn't hide, then what is there for us ordinary wizards to do?
He can beat all of us by himself, no matter in terms of fighting skills or spell mastery...If you hide your weaknesses a little, hide among the crowd, and treat yourself as an ordinary person, you will feel more involved in studying this way, don't you think?"

Mikel nodded subconsciously, but soon realized that he was fooled by Lin Xia, and quickly denied it: "No, it's not like that..."

Lin Xia said meaningfully: "Mikel, if you doubt the truth of that year, then try to find evidence.

Words are not enough. I can still say that I am Professor McGonagall's illegitimate daughter, but will others believe it? We need to find evidence before we can believe it!" She was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and turned around and said:
"Oh, by the way, the concepts you just proposed about 'time travel', 'travel through a book', and 'rebirth' are quite interesting. What novel did you read? Please recommend it to me later."

Mikel pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "I saw that several years ago, and I suddenly dreamed about it last night. I have forgotten what it was called. I will look for it later and tell you when I find it."

Lin Xia nodded and said deliberately: "You must tell me!"

Mikel waved at her and left without looking back. His back looked like he was running away.

The conversation between the two in the auditorium was also seen by other wizards.

The little wizards gathered together and whispered.

"Isn't there a rumor that Mikel looks down on Lin Xia, never greets Lin Xia, and always interrupts the questions that Lin Xia wants to answer in class? How come they can still communicate face to face calmly without fighting?"

Some young wizards were surprised: "How can there be such a rumor?

That's not right. Lin Xia has always had a good relationship with Mikel. Mikel lives in the same dormitory as Harry and Ron. Lin Xia always greets him whenever she sees him. "

Another young wizard said, "I remember Mikel once said in public that he wanted to surpass Lin Xia."

"That's nothing. I even said in public that I would surpass the professor and promote Transfiguration. But now my Transfiguration skill ranks last."

The most heated discussion took place among the little wizards of Gryffindor.

For some reason, the reckless and impulsive little lion finally used his beast-like instinct this time and sensed a hint of unusual atmosphere from Mikel.

I think Mikel wants to challenge Lin Xia and go against Lin Xia.

"Ron, when did Lin Xia and Mikel become so close?"

Harry also looked towards the door of the Great Hall. The position where the two of them were standing was very conspicuous, right at the entrance, and the little wizards coming and going could see them.

Ron looked confused: "I don't know, you've been very busy these days, I've been with Lin Xia, I didn't see Mikel take the initiative to talk to her.

Maybe it has something to do with the assessment for outstanding research students. Didn't he follow Lin Xia's example and apply for a joint assessment for both? "

Hermione looked up and suddenly said something in Chinese: "The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he has no good intentions."

Ron asked, "Hermione, what did you just say?"

Hermione lowered her head to read the book, turned a page and said, "Nothing, I just think that Mikkel has bad intentions in looking for Lin Xia."

It is true that he had bad intentions, but it is also true that there has never been any conflict between the two of them.

Lin Xia is not a reckless and impulsive person who likes to make enemies with others.

With her calm temperament, even if someone wants to find fault with her, she usually can't lose her temper. If someone does, it is definitely because they are deliberately trying to cause trouble.

"By the way, Harry, where are you going tonight? Are you going to Quidditch training?" Ron asked.

Harry was a little distracted. He nodded first and then shook his head: "I plan to go to Professor McGonagall's office first. I have some questions about Transfiguration that I would like to ask her if she is here."

Asking for advice was just an excuse. Harry wanted to touch the screw and get the records of the past few days.

It is not known whether Hogwarts has found any trace of Sirius.

If he finds it, what will he do?
Harry didn't think about this question. He would wait until he found it. He would definitely figure out the answer then.

Seeing this, Ron said, "I'll go with you. By the way, I'll ask Lin Xia if she wants to go. What about you, Hermione?"

Hermione closed the book, stood up and said seriously, "No, you guys go ahead. I still have to go back to the lab for training. I don't have such good time to waste like you guys."

After saying this, she left quickly, leaving behind a proud back.

Ron:…

He pointed at himself, looking confused and helpless: "What's wrong with me? Why did she scold me again?"

Harry shrugged. "Ever since Professor McGonagall refused to let Hermione read the banned book, Hermione has been in a bad mood. Let's not talk about her, Ron."

Ron muttered, "She's the one who's always making fun of me."

If he didn't know that this was Hermione's nature, that she always wanted the best for them and wanted to improve their grades... he would have thought that Hermione was sent by his enemy to afflict him.

Ron originally wanted to take Lin Xia to Professor McGonagall's office, but when they finished eating and walked to the Hufflepuff table, they found that Lin Xia was gone.

When I asked other little wizards, they all said they didn't know where she had gone.

Harry felt relieved. He didn't want Lin Xia to follow him at all, thinking that Lin Xia would discover something.

Harry said, "Ron, why don't you go look for Lin Xia? I'll go to Professor McGonagall's office first. I'm afraid she'll leave soon."

Ron nodded: "Okay, go ahead and I'll look for it."

They didn't know that Lin Xia had already arrived at Professor McGonagall's office, mainly to visit Draco.

Draco didn't attend class today and was still observing.

Professor McGonagall said, "Observe for one more day. If nothing happens, he can leave tomorrow night."

After McGonagall finished speaking, she left for a short while, leaving the space to the little wizard.

Draco excitedly told Lin Xia about his gains this time: "I have obtained the inheritance of strange medicine. I think my understanding of this inheritance has deepened. I can consciously control the days suitable for refining, and I can also slightly change the materials!"

Lin Xia was surprised, this was really good news.

The old strange medicine was very good, but the time for refining the potion was uncertain each time. It was often late at night that the inheritor would feel that this was the best time to refine the potion.

But at that time, Draco had already fallen asleep. Even if he was awakened by this inexplicable call, it was just...

Turn over and go back to sleep.

Now that I can control the time for refining, I can choose a time when I am free, and I can also sense whether that day is suitable for refining.

This induction is very important. What is suitable for refining is not only time, but also materials.

Sometimes the timing is right, but the materials given are outrageous, such as boy's urine, unicorn blood, a horse's tail...

The materials are generally not difficult to find, but there are two or three that are extremely rare and not often seen in the wizarding world.

The more advanced the potion, the more outrageous the things required, and there will definitely be some rare medicinal materials in it. This is unavoidable.

The fact that the materials can be slightly changed is even more practical.

If the rare materials needed cannot be found temporarily, they can be changed into common materials, which makes the production of advanced potions much easier. (End of this chapter)
