Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

I don’t know if Lin Xia’s threat was useful, the scales of fate did not keep urging Lin Xia to sacrifice his little finger bone.

Perhaps even the Scales of Fate could see that Lin Xia didn't want to use its power now, nor did she want to share any power with it.

It had a bit of a temper and took the initiative to disappear from Lin Xia's sight.

Lin Xia also temporarily put aside her caution about the Scales of Fate. At present, she has not figured out how to deal with the Scales of Fate.

She would not allow her body to hide a bomb that could control her consciousness or even manipulate her body.

Now that she has gradually started to practice the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records", the help the scales of fate are giving her is becoming less and less.

If things really come to a very serious point, Lin Xia would rather throw away the scales of fate and gain complete control over her body.

But Lin Xia also knew that this was difficult.

The subsequent exercises of "The Secret Records of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang", as well as the sacrifices made for cultivation and the absorption of energy from many objects, were all accomplished with the help of the Scales of Destiny.

To be honest, a part of the balance of fate had already been imprinted in her body. To completely extract this part of the power would be extremely painful for her.

But Lin Xia is a very open-minded person.

The reason why she has come this far is mainly due to the destiny compass in her mind, which was originally the result of her ability in her previous life.

As for cultivation, even without sacrifice, she can use the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Record" to improve her strength, but the process will become slower.

But this part of power is truly his own power, and Lin Xia can fully control it.

Lin Xia would rather give up the power that she cannot fully control.

Lin Xia went into seclusion.

She first digested the boost she had received from the battle at Hogsmeade, and when her body was no longer as active, she began to summon the Scales of Fate, absorbing the power of the Slytherin Locket that was originally stored in it.

Originally, Lin Xia didn't want to use the Scales of Destiny anymore.

But when she was practicing "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records", she found that the energy could not directly act on the newborn heart on the right side.

This means that only the power of the Slytherin locket can help her new right heart become stronger.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xia decided to use the power stored in the scales of fate.

This power originally belonged to her. If she didn't use it, it would only be continuously digested and absorbed by the scales of fate.

Instead of doing this, it is better to absorb this part of power as soon as possible to prevent the scales of fate from coveting it.

Lin Xia made up her mind that unless she understood the scale of fate and knew how to break away from it or completely control her, she would not sacrifice anything to the scale again.

While Lin Xia was practicing, Harry and Ron at St. Mungoley were also recuperating.

Only after Professor McGonagall took Linda, Hermione and Draco away did Harry dare to tell Ron some of his true feelings.

"Ron, I'm actually quite scared.

When I saw the evil god in the sky, I felt a strong sense of discomfort in my heart and body. I wanted to hide, but I found that I had nowhere to escape and had to face him.

Ron said casually, "Hey, brother, although I'm sorry that I can't see the scene where you appear, but I imagined in my mind how cool your appearance would be!
You appeared before all wizards like a savior and saved them from danger. The students whom they could not deal with were defeated by you with the sword of Gryffindor.

Your feat will definitely be engraved in the hearts of those wizards at that time, and they will never forget this scene!"

After all, Harry was young at heart, and he was quickly amused by Ron's words.

"No, this is not entirely my credit. Strictly speaking, it was the sword of Gryffindor that defeated the evil god. I just used the power of the sword to deal with the evil god. If I really had to face it alone, I wouldn't be able to do anything."

Ron shook his head: "No, not everyone can pull the sword out of the Sorting Hat.

If you asked me to draw, I would not be able to do it. The fact that you were able to draw the sword is enough to show how powerful you are. You are the one recognized by the Sword of Gryffindor.

You can use the power of the sword, that's your strength, no matter what other wizards think, but the evil god was destroyed by your sword, that's the result. "

Harry's uneasiness was gradually alleviated by Ron's exaggerated words.

He began to enjoy this victory and no longer worried about things he couldn't understand.

Until now, Harry couldn't understand why he used Apparition but didn't go to the Shrieking Shack, but instead came to an unfamiliar space.

Perhaps this could also explain his failure to Apparate.

And every book placed in that mysterious space looks very unusual.

He didn't know where that place was, but he was learning magic in that space and seemed to have a feeling that everything was going well.

He left that space according to the guidance of the Sorting Hat, but why did he not appear in the place where he was originally, but instead came to a high altitude?

Harry couldn't understand any of this.

Sometimes he felt like a puppet, as if there was some mysterious force pushing him forward.

During this process, he was unable to break free or resist.

But Harry asked himself, did he hate the feeling of being arranged by others?
Thinking of this, he shook his head gently again.

He might be annoying at first, but he was able to defeat one enemy after another, and even deal with the evil god... No matter how he solved it, it was finally solved in his hands.

Harry suddenly felt that this was a good outcome and everyone was happy.

As long as fewer people can be sacrificed, he feels that no matter what, what he does is meaningful, even if he is being led by others.

Ron didn't know about Harry's complicated psychological activities. He just felt that Harry seemed a little depressed, so he tried his best to cheer Harry up.

Ron babbled on and on about his regret for fainting.

"I didn't even make it to Hogsmeade Station!

If I could have gone to the station to take a look before I passed out, I would have no regrets. "

Speaking of this, he talked about the Weasley family's attitude towards his going to Hogsmeade village.

"I wanted Professor McGonagall to help me hide the fact that I was injured, but she refused and said she had already written a letter to my family. I felt that if I wasn't still receiving treatment at St. Mungo's, my mother would definitely send a howling letter to me.

I was supposed to stay in school during the winter break to help the wizards check various learning games, but I was suddenly injured and hospitalized. Even Professor McGonagall gave me a 10-day leave, saying that it was for me to go home and resolve family conflicts.

Oh my god, I would rather she didn't give me a holiday, I don't know how I'm going to face my parents!"

Ron looked embarrassed, which made Harry unable to help but ask, "Mrs. Weasley is not such an unreasonable person."

He had a good impression of the plump and amiable lady, and could feel her enthusiasm and sincerity. He liked the atmosphere of the Weasley family, which was one of the few magical families he had ever come into contact with, and they all met his imagination of the magical world.

Harry couldn't imagine how happy he would be if he could grow up in such a magical family.

Ron shook his head and said sadly, "No, Harry, she was just rewarding you. You don't know how ruthless my mother is.

Believe it or not, if I wasn’t her son, my mother would definitely bury my body in the soil as fertilizer to feed the bunch of cute little ones she raised!”

Harry couldn't help laughing; he could imagine the scene.

But he still said: "Ron, cheer up, everything may not be as bad as you think."

Ron only spent one night with him, and the next morning, the entire Weasley family came to St. Mungo's.

Perhaps because they knew Harry was also in the hospital, the whole Weasley family came out.

Except for Bill who was working as a curse breaker in Egypt, and Charlie who worked in a dragon farm in Romania, Ginny, George, the twins Fred, and Percy who was already the student council president all came.

As soon as they entered the ward, Ms. Molly didn't even look at Ron, treating him as air, and walked towards Harry anxiously.

When Lady Molly saw him she began to sob, and, holding him in her arms, she sobbed, "Oh, Harry, why are you so pale?

You must have suffered a lot in Hogsmeade village, those hateful Death Eaters, those hateful evil gods!
I have heard about your deeds from others. You are so great. You are our savior. You saved all the wizards in Hogsmeade village!"

Harry was a little breathless in Ms. Molly's embrace.

Ms. Molly was shaking with anger, and Harry could sense her panic.

Harry couldn't help but say, "Aunt Molly, I'm actually fine..."

"No!" Molly said seriously, "You are not okay at all. You have definitely paid a huge price, but you can't see it now."

"Look at your face, so pale and bloodless. I really feel sorry for you. Harry, what are your plans for this winter vacation?"

Before Harry could answer, Molly invited him: "Why don't you come to the Weasleys for the holiday? Our whole family likes you very much."

Before he could even open his mouth, Ron couldn't help but say, "Mom, Harry has applied to stay at school. When he is well and discharged from the hospital, he will return to Hogwarts."

Molly's face darkened, and she turned and stared at Ron: "Shut up!"

Ron immediately shut his mouth.

Molly looked at Harry again and said with a pleasant face, "Harry, you are always welcome to the Burrow. It doesn't matter if you can't come this time. We can make an appointment next time. Remember to come and play."

While Molly was talking to Harry, Ginny came to Ron and asked in a low voice: "Brother, how did you get hurt this time? Is Harry seriously injured? Where did you run to?"

Ron said subconsciously: "We went to Hogsmeade... No, no, we didn't go anywhere. We just accidentally fell and got hurt. Not only me, but Harry will be discharged from the hospital soon. You don't have to worry."

George and Fred said in unison:
"Our youngest brother, he learned to deceive his youngest sister."

"My poor sister, she will never know the truth. How cruel it is."

Ginny looked at them eagerly, "Then my lovely twin brothers, can you tell me the truth?"

George and Fred smiled and said in unison, "No."

Ginny instantly became furious.

Percy criticized Ron: "Ron, your behavior is really too risky and a serious violation of school rules. When I heard this news, I couldn't believe that you could do this!
In such a dangerous place, with your strength, you can easily be used as cannon fodder. If you don’t take responsibility for yourself, you should also think about your parents and us. If you die in the battlefield, we will definitely be very sad..."

Ron's mouth twitched slightly, he was injured, he was in hospital, he wasn't there to greet his loved ones to listen to Percy's head.

Ron interrupted him: "Percy, you don't have to scold me in the same tone as you scold your subordinates. I am your brother, not one of your prefects."

He was stimulated by Percy and his brain suddenly jumped, and he blurted out everything.

"I went to Hogsmeade for my own reasons. I needed to do something that only I could do—"

Before Ron could finish his words, Ginny screamed.

"Ron, you went to Hogsmeade, you actually went to such a dangerous place!

I read the Daily Prophet today. According to incomplete preliminary statistics, 200 wizards were killed or injured in Hogsmeade village on Christmas Eve. The Death Eaters launched a terrorist attack in Hogsmeade village.

Not only did they attack the wizards who appeared there, they also wanted to attack the train that was taking the Hogwarts students home. Fortunately, the Aurors stopped their plot. In such a dangerous place, you actually...”

Ginny was having trouble breathing, her chest heaving violently.

Suddenly, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Ginny! Ginny!"

Congratulations to the Weasley family for having a new injured person...
-
The place where Ginny fainted was at St. Mungo's. There was no shortage of medical staff here, and they quickly examined Ginny.

The doctor said that she fainted due to emotional fluctuations and it was nothing serious. After giving her a bottle of magic potion, she woke up quickly.

Shortly after Ginny woke up, the Weasleys also said goodbye to Harry. Harry wanted to go to St. Mungo's to see them off, but was persuaded by the Weasleys.

Aunt Molly said, "Harry, don't bother. We will use Apparition to leave as soon as we get to the door. It's just a matter of walking a few steps."

She suddenly patted her head and said, "Oh, yes, I forgot. I have prepared some gifts for you. Although it is a little late to send you the blessing, I still wish you a Merry Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas."

Aunt Molly winked at Harry and took out a large box from her retractable ring.

"Remember to open it after we leave, and don't be shocked no matter what you see."

Harry agreed immediately.

After they left, he got out of bed, stood at the window and stared at it without blinking.

After a while, the Weasley family was seen at the door in front of St. Mungo's.

Ron seemed to see Harry and waved at him, which prompted the rest of the Weasley family to wave at Harry as well.

Harry laughed happily and waved at Ron.

It wasn't long before the Weasleys disappeared from his sight.

Harry suddenly felt a little lonely. (End of this chapter)
