Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

As soon as Ron and Harry started to leave, Neville couldn't help but stand up and said, "I want to go, too."

Ron said hurriedly, "No, Neville, stay here first and go when we come back."

Neville's eyes were a little confused, but Ron didn't explain and quickly pulled Harry away.

Hermione looked at Neville with a puzzled look on her face, "Do you boys like to go to the bathroom in groups?"

Neville thought for a long time before shaking his head and said, "Probably not. I usually wouldn't think of asking anyone to go with me, but the situation is different now..."

As he spoke, he twisted his body as if on pins and needles, eager to escape from the place without Colin.

Hermione thought for a while, then suddenly realized what was happening, stood up, and quickly packed up her books.

"Neville, I'm going to be out for a while, you can review on your own first."

"Hey, Hermione, Hermione!"

Seeing that Hermione had also left, Colin, who was hiding in the next box and observing secretly, poked his head out and asked, "Senior Neville, where did Senior Harry and Senior Hermione go?"

Neville shook his head in confusion: "Don't ask me, I don't know either."

Colin shrugged. "Okay."

After a while, he left the empty box carrying the camera.

Neville realized belatedly that although he did not leave his seat, Colin did. This was the situation he wanted.

only……

He looked around and wondered why everyone else had left.
On the other side, Harry and Ron quickly ran to the men's bathroom.

Harry really wanted to leave and go to the bathroom.

But Ron really wanted to escape from the surveillance environment with Harry. Both Colin and Hermione made him feel restrained.

After Ron scooped up a handful of water to wash his face and felt the biting chill of the icy water, his mind became completely clear.

He suddenly turned to Harry and said, "Harry, let's go to Professor Babel's office now. Isn't this the best opportunity to leave?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

They took out the Marauder's Map in the bathroom, determined where Professor Barbling's office was, and took the opportunity to put on their invisibility cloaks, intending to leave quietly.

But what they didn't expect was that Hermione was blocking the door of the men's restroom!

She spread her arms and legs, her whole body in a "big" shape, staring at the door with a menacing and murderous look.

Ron and Harry: ...

They stopped immediately, touching each other, not knowing what to do.

Ron whispered, "Harry, how about we go through her arms?"

Harry shook his head quickly, "No, Ron, we are too big, she will definitely notice us and catch us. Are you ready to bear her wrath?"

Ron immediately became timid when he thought of Hermione's angry scene. "What should we do now?"

Harry thought for a while, and finally said: "Let's confess to Hermione and invite Hermione to join the adventure."

Ron whispered, "Will she agree?"

Harry said in a deep voice: "Whether she agrees or not, we should have done this a long time ago. We shouldn't lie to our best friends."

There was a rustling sound, and Harry took off his Invisibility Cloak, revealing the two of them.

They looked at Hermione nervously, with somewhat awkward expressions.

Hermione glared at them. Just as she expected, the two men took the opportunity to run away and wanted to do something bad!
Hermione raised her eyebrows and was about to say something, but she suddenly recalled what Lin Xia had said to her before, and she swallowed her anger.

Hermione took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, repeating to herself: "Communicate well, stay calm, communicate well..."

After a long while, Hermione suddenly said with a smile: "Harry, it looks like you guys are going to do something fun, why don't you call me?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

What happened? How did Hermione suddenly become a different person?
-
In the laboratory.

Lin Xia called Draco into her own private laboratory and took out the advanced equipment she had found from the other world from her traceless retractable ring.

Draco's eyes lit up as he looked at these brand new instruments. He carefully stroked the instruments, feeling the delicate touch under his palms.

He lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Lin Xia, where did this come from? I have never seen it before. This is definitely not in Hogwarts!"

Lin Xia said, "I found this in the other world. Professor McGonagall, Dean Sprout, and I went to the other world for an emergency.

I have consulted the dean about this news, so I don't need to hide it from you. This time I am going to the other world mainly to observe the pollution situation of the manager of Honeydukes store."

She couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and whispered: "The store manager has passed away."

Draco was silent for a while before he said, "I hope he has a good journey."

Lin Xia nodded: "Although everyone says that high-level polluters will completely lose their human rationality in serious cases.

In my opinion, this is not entirely true. They feel pain precisely because they still have human thoughts.

But I could feel that although the store manager was in pain when he left, he was relieved in his heart, because before he left, he could no longer maintain his human form and completely turned into a pool of black liquid.

This pool of liquid is made up of countless tiny bugs, which are the black bugs I mentioned to you before, which can connect to the evil god world and provide wizards with a source of power. "

Draco's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of horror flashed across his eyes: "Is this the final form of the Advanced Polluter?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "Everyone's appearance is different. It is possible to turn into black magma, black liquid, or even black animals...

But no matter what, these forms are composed of countless tiny black bugs. I have a guess that these black bugs are gnawing at the energy in the wizard's body while giving him power.

They will consume all the blood and flesh of the wizard and transform him into their own kind, and what they ultimately want to destroy is the remaining spirit of the wizard.

It is precisely because the spirit is difficult to eliminate that it often stimulates wizards to riot. They cannot accept themselves as they are, and are often confused about whether they are human or another kind of creature, and finally choose to self-destruct. "Draco has never come into contact with high-level polluters, nor has he come into contact with the world of evil gods. At present, he only knows that when reading banned books, he will be disturbed by the evil god's whispers.

Lin Xia looked very knowledgeable, but this was her first time to come into contact with a high-level polluter, and Hogwarts did not reveal much information to her in this regard.

Therefore, she could only use her limited perspective to judge this matter that wizards had been unable to understand for thousands of years.

Draco felt that Lin Xia's current inference made sense. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "What if I solve my confusion? Wouldn't the high-level polluters go crazy?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "I don't know if there are any high-level polluters in the world who can remain sober and rational. When they reach that level of pollution, the world they see should be far from a normal world.

I think at that point, they are more likely to be completely infected by the evil god's whispers, think they are a member of the evil god's world, and completely turn to the evil god's world. Such wizards will be more dangerous. "

Draco's pupils shrank slightly, and he whispered three words: "Dark Lord."

The compass of fate in Lin Xia's mind moved slightly, and even the scales of destiny changed, but under her suppression, it returned to calm again.

She didn't react on the surface, but she was deep in thought.

She had a feeling that she was deeply connected to the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord is most likely the key to her advancement to the next stage, or perhaps... her entanglement with him is even deeper.

Lin Xia calmly changed the subject: "I brought this up with you this time because I brought back some black bugs. Haven't you been collecting a lot of strange materials recently? Maybe they can help with your strange medicine."

She not only prepared one for Draco, but also for Hermione, Harry and Ron.

Each person only prepared a small portion, not much, and the bulk of it was still with her.

Although Harry and Ron are not that talented in research, perhaps they can find another new discovery from the black bugs.

Lin Xia will find another time later to gather them all together to discuss this matter.

The abnormality in Honeydukes shop was first discovered by Harry. The other friends were also involved, so they have the right to know the follow-up.

Lin Xia took out a small black insect wrapped in the wax of a bright candle from the ring and handed it to Draco.

Draco took it cautiously.

It is impossible not to be cautious. As long as you know that these insects are the source of power that connects the evil world to the wizard world, once they come into contact with humans, they will drill into the human skin and transform the human into an evil creature. Any rational wizard will be cautious.

When Draco first heard about the black bugs, his weirdo medicine didn't react at all.

But only when he really touched the reagent bottle containing the black bugs, the trickery of medicine in his mind suddenly started to work -

Countless sparks of inspiration flashed, and a string of strange and novel materials passed by, as if he had encountered the favor of the magic goddess. At this moment, his mind was surging and his thoughts were flying.

The black bugs actually resonated with the strange pharmacy and activated the inherited memory!
Draco discovered that he could actually choose what kind of potion to make with the black bugs!
At this moment, a potion popped into my mind, and its effects and preparation methods flashed through my mind one by one.

Draco opened his eyes slightly and stopped hesitating. Fearing that the spark of inspiration would slip away, he chose the potion without thinking!
This dilemma seemed to take a long time, but in real life, it only took a few tenths of a second.

Draco raised his head again and said excitedly: "Lin Xia, my strange medicine has figured out how to deal with these black bugs!
I can guarantee that this is definitely a great invention. It may not cause any harm to the evil god world, but it will definitely make those polluters who have already turned to the evil god world feel pain! "

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows. After receiving the inheritance of strange medicine from Draco, she felt from his description that this inheritance had great potential.

What's more, Draco has undergone a second baptism and obtained a part of the strange medicine inheritance. It is very likely that he will have a burst of inspiration and make a good potion.

But from the second baptism to now, he has not yet developed a new type of medicine, which is very telling.

Either the timing has not come yet, or all the luck accumulated over the past few days has exploded at this moment!
Draco was so excited that Lin Xia could already imagine that this potion combined with strange pharmacy would definitely give people a surprise.

Lin Xia said decisively: "Go ahead and do the experiment. If the amount is not enough, come to me. If I can't provide it, we will apply for assistance from the school and ask the school to provide the black bugs!"

However, they would not be able to maximize the benefits of the new medicines introduced with the help of the school.

But this is not important. After all, the black bugs are obtained from polluters and are difficult to collect.

It is too difficult for junior wizards to collect, but it may be better for senior wizards.
-
On the other side, Hermione already knew what Harry and Ron were planning.

Hermione hid under the Invisibility Cloak with them, dodging the little wizards passing by, and said:

"You guys should take me with you when you go to explore Professor Babel's office. I'm also curious about her office.

You don't know, I once asked Professor Babbling if I could go to her office, but she turned me down without giving a reason.

This is the first time I have ever met a professor who rejected me, and even Professor Trelawney was not as rude as her. "

Ron complained: "That's Professor Babel, she taught us the ancient magic runes, how dare you say that about her?"

Hermione: "I don't mind telling my professors if I don't like them."

Ron: "You only dare to say it behind my back, not to my face."

Hermione: "Of course I won't say it to the professor's face. I'm not that stupid. Why would I go against the professor in person?"

Ron: "But you've often been against Professor Trelawney this semester."

Hermione: "That's because she's a liar. She used plausible prophecies to deceive us, but it turns out that her predictions are not true at all!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Harry quickly intervened and said, "Stop it, there's another one coming!"

The three of them quickly pressed themselves against the wall and hid in a secret room on the fourth floor. If such a location had not been marked on the live map, the three of them would not have known that there was such a small space.

Filch came over with a kerosene lamp in his hand, staggering a little.

It was said that he had fallen last week and injured his leg, so the school originally exempted him from patrolling, but Filch refused and continued to walk around with a kerosene lamp.

Mrs. Norris, who used to like running around, did not run away when her master was injured, but instead followed Filch closely.

Wherever he goes, there it goes.

"Meow~" Just as Filch was about to pass by them, Mrs. Norris suddenly stopped and called out.

It looked up in the direction of Harry and the others.

Harry and the other two were worried. Could it be that the invisibility cloak could conceal the professor, but it couldn't conceal the wild instincts of animals? (End of this chapter)
