Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

With the excuse of being an "Eastern sorcerer," Dean Sprout and Professor Flitwick were somewhat understanding, and their expressions softened.

After all, the magical power of the East can sometimes be so mysterious and powerful, and Lin Xia's power comes from her bloodline, not from some powerful magic power infused into her by other wizards.

This power comes from blood ties, that is, from the same source as her, and Lin Xia can bear it without any side effects.

But Snape wasn't so easily persuaded.

He had been in contact with Barbling, the professor who had stayed at Hogwarts the longest, and even the headmaster didn't know how long Lin Xia had been at the school. He had deep doubts about this.

"The magical aura emanating from you is so immense that Babling couldn't possibly fail to sense it, yet she didn't interfere with you in any way."

Seeing your innocent, lamb-like face, I realize that if we didn't tell you, you would have no idea about your physical condition.

"Your bloodline unleashes such immense power, yet you are unaware of it; this does not convince me."

Snape said coldly, "Your bloodline comes from within yourself. You couldn't possibly be unaware that your body's power has become so immense, unless you yourself have been blinded by this power and can't control it!"

Lin Xia calmly said, "Professor, our attitude towards bloodline power is to let it develop naturally. This power has been modifying my body since I was born, allowing me to accommodate more magic."

When you become very accustomed to something, I think because you're so used to it, you won't be able to perceive its changes as quickly.

Lin Xia calmly emphasized, "This power is amazing to you, but to me, it's as familiar as my arm, constantly strengthening my body, so it's normal that I didn't notice it at first."

This is also partly because she is not very familiar with the magical world, especially with higher levels of power.

If she knew that every high wizard could sense each other's energy and immediately identify which one was a high wizard, and also knew how the magical world judged high wizards, this situation wouldn't have happened today.

She would cover it up early on.

But there's no use thinking about it now. If the professors hadn't taken it so seriously, Lin Xia wouldn't have known that advanced wizards were so sensitive to the magic of their "kin."

Lin Xia thought to herself that there must be some things she didn't know.

"As for why Professor Babling didn't remind me, you'll have to ask Professor Babling." Lin Xia shrugged and said, "Perhaps the professor also thought it was no big deal."

Snape scoffed, disagreeing with Lin Xia's statement, but he didn't say anything more.

Further discussion would only be a matter between professors, and has nothing to do with Lin Xia, her student, since she has already proven that the source of her power is absolutely safe.

Dean Sprout said gently, "The fluctuations of your magical power are very obvious. You may not be able to perceive how powerful this aura is, but in our eyes, this power of yours is constantly spreading outward, forming a super-large power cluster."

This not only attracts our attention, but also the attention of other wizards, and in certain situations, it might even cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

The dean asked, "Did your parents teach you any Eastern sorcery traditions, including how to conceal your power?"

"If possible, we should gather this power back as soon as possible, or at least control it, and not let it keep spreading outwards, as this could easily cause misunderstandings among many wizards."

After thinking for a moment, the dean described it in simpler terms: "To put it this way, your power is constantly spreading outwards. To other wizards, you are continuously releasing the power that belongs to a high-level wizard within you."

They will see this as a provocation, an invitation to fight.

Lin Xia asked, puzzled, "Professor, since my magic power has reached the level of a high-level wizard, does that mean I am already a high-level wizard?"

Dean Sprout smiled and said, "It's not that simple, Lin Xia. Reaching the power level of an advanced wizard is only one aspect."

On the other hand, you also need to gain the approval of the will of the wizarding world, which will then bestow upon you the relevant laws before you can become a high-level wizard.

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly; she roughly understood.

No wonder high-ranking wizards are considered a high-level force in the wizarding world; the phrase "gaining the recognition of the world's will" sounds extraordinary.

Lin Xia asked curiously, "Professor, is it difficult to gain the recognition of the world's will? How can I gain that recognition?"

The dean chuckled and said, "You're still too young. Regardless of whether you can or not, we don't recommend that you pursue the world's approval right now. Perhaps you can give it a try when you're about to graduate."

Lin Xia left the private room.

Without sensing anyone's gaze, she silently circulated her internal energy.

The so-called "bloodline power of Eastern sorcerers" is all fabricated by her.

Although her parents were indeed Eastern sorcerers and possessed bloodline power, their abilities were far less exaggerated than hers.

The parents' inner strength only reached its peak in their twenties, unlike her who was still a minor.

Moreover, according to their parents, their influence was gentle and gradual, pushing them towards maturity.

Unlike her, whose power leaps to a higher level once a breakthrough is achieved.

As the "Nine Heavens Profound Yang Secret Record" covered her entire body, Lin Xia felt a sense of security.

She thought for a moment, then went back to the professor's private room and gently knocked on the door.

Inside the private room, the three professors were having a heated discussion about Professor Barbling, with Snape advocating for a letter of inquiry to be sent to her.

He said expressionlessly, "Regardless of the reason why Babuling didn't remind Lin Xia, she should have guided Lin Xia."

Moreover, the changes in Lin Xia's internal power definitely occurred when she was with Babuling.

I saw her during the battle at Hogsmeade Village; her body didn't exhibit such a large fluctuation of power then.

Snape paused, then said solemnly, "Although Lin Xia's physique is very special, this enormous power does not seem to have any effect on her body."

But what if Barbling is using her "bloodline sorcerer" status to perform special modifications on her body? Barbling has done this before!

Snape brought up a topic that the two professors were afraid to discuss.

Throughout Horowitz's long history, it's not just students who have broken the rules; professors have also done so.

Snape had once looked through the files and learned that hundreds of years ago, Professor Barbling had participated in a wizarding human modification experiment.

She wanted to help a wizard who originally possessed magic but lost it due to an accident and became a Squib to regain his magical powers, so she began conducting human experiments.

Snape had no way of knowing the outcome of that human experiment, but judging from the results of reviewing the files, Barbling received a major demerit and almost lost her professorship.

It was only because the principal at the time strongly protected her that she was not forced to resign.

Flitwick's expression was serious: "No, Snape, it would be an offense to a professor to send a letter of inquiry without investigating the matter thoroughly. Let's try to find out the whole story first."

Snape scoffed, "Who knows if she did it on purpose? Maybe she wanted to get inspiration for other human experiments through Lin Xia."

Lin Xia's magic was overflowing and so obvious that I don't believe Babuling couldn't sense it.

"Besides, she seems even more capable than us. She's been at Hogwarts for so long; she must have some serious skills. The conditions at Hogwarts are excellent enough." Sprout said, "Perhaps Babling knew Lin Xia's physique well enough to not warn her."

When Lin Xia knocked on the door, she overheard several professors discussing something.

It wasn't intentional eavesdropping; the professor hadn't set up any soundproofing magic, and the soundproofing in the private room was inadequate.

"Come in!"

Lin Xia pushed open the door and asked directly, "Professor, I just remembered that my parents once told me a trick to try to contain the overflowing magic power in my body, but I don't know if it will work. Do you see that the magic power in my body is still overflowing?"

Upon hearing this, the professor began to carefully consider the sensations.

After a while, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of all three of them.

Dean Sprout asked in bewilderment, "What's the secret? It's so amazing!"

I can no longer sense any magic emanating from you, nor do I sense any special aura about you; you're just an ordinary student.

Flitwick asked curiously, "Can we learn your trick?"

Lin Xia said embarrassedly, "Only Eastern sorcerers can unleash this power. I don't know how to describe it to you. Wizards probably can't learn it. It's a different kind of power system that comes from bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Professor Flitwick put aside his curiosity.

Snape looked coldly at Lin Xia and said sarcastically, "If you had known about this trick earlier, you should have used it sooner, so as not to cause us any misunderstanding."

Lin Xia was already used to Snape's barbed tone, and said calmly, "I have no sense of the overflowing magic in my body. I'm too used to this power."

She was silent for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Professor, Professor Babling took me to a magical forest with abundant magical power to study."

The power there was abundant and mixed, which may be why she didn't notice the magic emanating from me.

Besides, she's probably seen too many wizards like me, so she wasn't surprised.

Lin Xia simply reminded him that if Snape still insisted on sending a letter of inquiry to Barbling, then everything would be investigated through proper procedures.

But she had a feeling that no matter what Snape's reasons were for targeting Babling, he would not get what he wanted.

Given Barbling's status as an equal to Dumbledore, Snape had no right to investigate whether Barbling had broken any rules.

Lin Xia couldn't help but wonder if Snape and Barbling had a bad personal relationship.

Or did Babling offend Snape in some way?
Having resolved her physical issues, Lin Xia left the private room and returned to the room where Harry and the others were.

Harry and the others didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Xia's body. Knowing that the professor was just asking her some questions, they didn't pay much attention and enthusiastically discussed their plans for the winter break.

Ron was particularly talkative, feeling that he had grown a lot during the winter break.

Although he may not be as good as his other partners, it is already very good for him.

As Lin Xia listened to their conversation, she reflected on how she had become somewhat lax and less vigilant than before.

As her power increased, she was able to explore more and more of the wizarding world's secrets, and she was no longer afraid of certain things, unlike the weak woman she once was.

This led to a change in her mindset.

But today, the professor discovered something unusual about her body, which was a huge blow to her.

She could use the power of her Eastern sorcerer's bloodline to cover it up this time, but that doesn't mean she can use the same excuse next time.

No matter how miraculous the power of bloodline is, it has its limits and cannot allow a wizard to grow indefinitely.

Either her bloodline is redeveloped and awakened a second time, letting everyone know that she has outstanding talent, or she should keep a low profile and not attract attention.

In the current magical world, keeping a low profile actually reduces her access to many resources.

Lin Xia felt that starting this semester, she needed to gradually change her approach. Perhaps she should be more aggressive and let the professor know that she not only had talent in research, but also talent in combat.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia couldn't help but look up at Harry, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

Harry has already drawn the Gryffindor sword from the Sorting Hat; no one can stand out more than him, for that is, after all, the power of the great Gryffindor.

Under Harry's radiance, it should be allowed for other students to gradually realize their potential.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

"Beep beep!!!"

After a two-hour journey, the magic train arrived at King's Cross Station.

The train arrived at the station quickly because there were few people on board, so there was no need to worry too much, and it sped along the way.

However, picking up the young wizard from the station and returning them to Hogwarts would be much slower, taking into account the young wizard's endurance.

As soon as the magic train came to a stop, Ron excitedly opened the window and jumped out.

Hehe, he's wanted to do this for a long time, but he doesn't have the guts.

Today we finally found him an opportunity.

Compared to Ron's excitement, Harry and the others slowly got up and went to the junction of each carriage, waiting for the doors to open.

The car door slowly opened, and they got out.

There was no one outside the platform; it wasn't yet the time when Hogwarts had notified the students that the magical train would be open.

Lin Xia looked down at the magic clock on her wrist and said, "It will probably be another half hour before the opening time, and the students will start to arrive one after another."

Ron quickly asked, "So this half hour is our free time?"

Lin Xia turned her head and glanced at the magic train; the professor hadn't gotten off.

"Yes, but there's nothing at King's Cross Station, where can we go for fun?"

Draco: "Could we guide the students outside to prevent them from getting lost?"

Harry thought for a moment and said, "I think this is a good idea; it's convenient for students who come alone."

When I came here alone before, I was always worried that I would find the wrong place to enter. (End of Chapter)
