Hogwarts starts with stealing power

The professors hurried over and looked at this scene with equally shocked faces.

"What happened here, what happened?"

A gloomy and hoarse voice came, and Filch stumbled into the crowd. He was attracted by Grace's shout.

When he saw Mrs. Lorris hanging on the wall, he grabbed his face with his hands in horror.

"My cat! My cat! What's wrong with Mrs. Norris?" he screamed.

"Who killed my cat? It was you people, right? It was you who killed my cat!" Filch screamed.

"Argus!"

Dumbledore suddenly appeared and maintained order.

He said seriously: "Other little wizards, get out of here quickly."

Dumbledore took the two cats away and looked at Harry and the others: "Follow me."

Professor Lockhart said flatteringly: "Headmaster, my office is nearby. You can use it."

Dumbledore said, "Thank you, Gilderoy."

The group of them hurried into Professor Lockhart's office.

The portraits of Lockhart hanging on the wall all ran away with panic on their faces when they saw Dumbledore.

Dumbledore just snapped his fingers, and an enhanced version of "luminescent flash" appeared in front of everyone.

Under the bright light, the professors all observed seriously.

"It must have been a spell that killed them - probably the Transformation Torture Charm. I've seen this spell used many times. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time. I happened to know the unspelling method and could have saved them. …”

Lockhart's words were interrupted by Filch's tearless sadness.

Filch slumped in his chair, covering his eyes with his hands, not daring to look at Mrs. Lorris.

Although Harry, Ron and Hermione didn't like Filch, they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him at this moment.

Lin Xia said calmly at this time: "Professor Lockhart, please stop making baseless speculations. These two cats have not encountered this kind of black magic. They were just petrified."

At this time, Dumbledore muttered some strange words in a low voice and tapped Mrs. Norris with his wand, but there was no response.

Mrs. Norris was still lying there stiffly, like a newly prepared specimen.

The same goes for White Fairy.

Lockhart remained firm in his opinion.

"No, Lin Xia, this is not groundless conjecture. I remember a very similar thing happened in Ouagadougou."

Lockhart said: "A series of attacks were recorded in detail in my autobiography. At that time, I provided various talismans to the people, and the problem was solved immediately."

When he said this, the portraits of Lockhart hanging on the wall all nodded in agreement, and one of them even forgot to take off his hairnet.

"He's not dead, Filch."

Dumbledore said softly, straightening up.

He looked at Lin Xia, "Smart little witch, your guess is correct, they were just petrified. But I don't know exactly how they were petrified."

"Ask him!" screamed Filch, turning his mottled, tear-stained face towards Harry.

Before Lin Xia could speak, Dumbledore was the first to deny it.

"It is impossible for a second year student to do this," Dumbledore said firmly. "It requires the highest degree of Dark Arts."

Lin Xia also echoed: "Filch, if you don't believe Harry, you can believe me. I was with Harry when he discovered the crime scene.

When we went to that area, the line of blood on the wall was already there, and my cat was petrified. "

Just as Lin Xia was about to comfort Filch, Professor Snape's voice suddenly sounded.

"Principal, please allow me to say a word."

Snape said in the shadows: "Maybe Potter and his friends just weren't supposed to be in that place at that time."

His lips twisted in a sneer, as if he doubted it.

"But we did encounter a series of questions: Why on earth did they go to the corridor above? Why didn't they go to dinner?"

Harry's lips moved slightly, trying to say what he could hear.

He followed that voice!

However, he had a hunch that Snape would never approve of such a lame excuse——

The reason why he was led there by a voice that only he could hear was completely untenable.

Lin Xia replied at this time: "Professor, my cat was petrified. I had a strong premonition and was very flustered.

So I ran, and they just ran with me. If I had to explain it, it was my sixth sense. "

Filch was still very agitated.

He didn't trust Harry, but he trusted Lin Xia.

There was no need for Lin Xia to lie to him, not to mention that Lin Xia's cat was petrified in this incident!

If Harry is the real murderer, Lin Xia will definitely break up with him!

"But, but..."

Filch tugged at his hair impatiently, desperate for an explanation.

Lin Xia said calmly at this time: "Actually, the real culprit in this case is already very clear. It was either caused by a wizard who is extremely proficient in black magic, or by a magical creature that can quickly cast petrification."

She said calmly: "Rather than placing the suspect on the little wizard, it is better to quickly search for information.

Perhaps the professor knows better than us what is hidden in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

I have heard some information about the Chamber of Secrets. Slytherin students always clamor that the Chamber of Secrets will be opened one day, and Salazar's true heir will clean up the entire Hogwarts.

So what is hidden in the Chamber of Secrets that can clean up Hogwarts? "

Snape stared at Lin Xia closely. He thought of what Lin Xia said to him when she came to him before.

But that matter was too absurd for him, and he didn't believe it.

Filch cried out in a wail: "My cat... my cat..."

Dumbledore said soothingly: "We can cure it, Filch, Professor Sprout recently got some mandrakes.

Once they grow up and mature, they can make a potion to remove petrification and bring Mrs. Norris back to life. "

"I will prepare it." Lockhart interrupted, "I must have prepared it a hundred times. I can prepare the mandrake resurrection potion while dreaming. "

Snape said coldly: "Please forgive me, I think I am the professor of potions in this school! "

The group dispersed.

Lin Xia did not put the White Fairy in the infirmary, but took her back to the golden wooden house.

She did not have time to wait for the batch of Mandrake in the greenhouse to mature!

That night, she wrote a letter to her parents, seeking their help.

The White Fairy was petrified. Lin Xia suppressed her anger, opened her diary, and continued to talk to Tom.

Through this incident, she suddenly discovered.

Some established destinies are difficult to reverse.

Once you want to reverse it, it will cause changes in the surrounding things.

Her White Fairy is the victim who tried to reverse her fate!

The original clue given by the fate compass was that all tragedies would happen on Halloween Eve.

However, this time, the petrification incident was brought forward!

Lin Xia's eyes were deep, so does this mean that the ghost will be on Halloween Eve? The riot still exists.

Tom: [Lin Xia, you are a little absent-minded today and you are slow to reply to me. Do you have some unspeakable distress?]

Lin Xia: [This is exactly what I want to tell you. In addition to the last time the ghost was petrified, two pets in Hogwarts were also petrified, and a line of blood words were left, indicating that the chamber of secrets has been opened.]

A line of words quickly appeared in the diary.

[What did the blood words say? Didn’t you say you wanted to enter the chamber of secrets? Have you seen the basilisk in the chamber of secrets?]

Lin Xia wrote calmly——

[No, I didn’t enter the chamber of secrets. No professor believed what I said.

The blood words read: The chamber of secrets has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware!

Some Slytherin students said that the great wizard Salazar would release his captive pets. Things, clean up the mudbloods that don't fit the style of Hogwarts]

Lines of scribbled cursive words quickly emerged.

[Where is Dumbledore, isn't he the headmaster of Hogwarts? Such a big problem has arisen, why doesn't he come forward to solve it?

Also, who is Salazar's successor? ? ?]

Tom used three question marks in a row to express his deep doubts.

Lin Xia didn't know his background, didn't he know it himself?

It was obviously the orthodox descendant of Salazar and the successor of the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts!

But in a place it couldn't imagine, someone actually opened the Chamber of Secrets and released the basilisk, causing panic in Hogwarts!

Tom just felt it was ridiculous.

For a moment, he came up with many explanations.

Did the other Horcruxes of the main body move? Did the Horcruxes release the secrets? Basilisk in the room?

But this shouldn't be the case.

If it was the original body who did it, he couldn't have been unaware of the consequences of doing so for Hogwarts.

The Tom in the diary is Voldemort in his youth.

And Voldemort at this time has great ideals and ambitions, is young and healthy, and is obsessed with the ocean of knowledge.

Tom is handsome and charming.

His outstanding magical talent always makes him think he can do anything.

But Dumbledore broke his pride as a descendant of Salazar with his own hands.

Tom has been regretting since he released the basilisk.

It almost caused Hogwarts to be closed because of this mistake!

In its eyes, Hogwarts is a warm place like home.

When he was confused and at a loss, it was Hogwarts that took it in, gave it support, and accompanied it to grow up.

In the heart of young Tom, the status of Hogwarts is extraordinary.

So even now, judging from the memories it still retains, he attaches more importance to Hogwarts than anything else!

Lin Xia looked at the words emerging in the diary.

It was a bit confusing for a moment. Tom clearly represented Voldemort's thoughts, but Voldemort wanted to cause chaos in Hogwarts at this moment.

But at this time, young Tom wanted to protect Hogwarts?

Lin Xia: [Dumbledore has already come forward, but I feel very worried.

The petrification of ghosts and pets alone has made the whole Hogwarts nervous. If a little wizard is petrified next time, I am worried that the school will be closed.]

Tom: [So we must stop the tragedy as soon as possible.]

At this time, Tom seemed more anxious than Lin Xia.

Tom: [I have other ways. Maybe we can find another way from these methods...]

The next day.

Lin Xia started selling "guardian buttons" to little wizards.

Although there was a pet petrification incident last night, no little wizard was harmed in the incident, so class must continue.

The entire Hogwarts is still functioning normally.

But as the investigation result of this matter was classified as "unknown cause", the little wizard began to become nervous again.

Suddenly, the school's "guardian charm" became a hot seller again.

At this time, the "Guardian Button" developed by Lin Xia's team spread among the young wizards.

They are second-year wizards, and the first people they sell to are naturally their second-year classmates.

When Lin Xia told them that he had a more powerful protective power than the guardian talisman, the little witches from other colleges generously donated their money and expressed their willingness to buy it.

The little witches said one after another:

"Great, I'm worried that there aren't enough guardian talismans!"

"I have worn four of the guardian charms in school, but I still feel they are not safe enough!"

"You developed the Guardian Button, there must be nothing wrong with it!"

Not only was the sales going smoothly on Lin Xia's side, but also on Hermione, Draco, Ron and Harry's side.

They just mentioned the beginning: "Hey, brothers/sisters, do you know the guardian button? It is a new type of guardian talisman just developed by our research team. It has a stronger effect than the guardian talisman. If you are willing to buy it, just by……"

Before they could finish speaking, the little wizard rushed to say, "Buy, buy, buy!"

However, the amount of guardian talismans they prepared was only so large.

There was one little wizard each, and they were all sold out in a short time.

So some little wizards wanted to make a reservation.

The level of panic in those little wizards' hearts was that they would just shove Yinxico into their arms, hoping that they could conjure it up directly!

After a while, Ron's arms were filled with many silver coins.

Occasionally, among a pile of silvery things, there are still a few golden lights shining.

Ron said in disbelief: "How come so many orders were placed at once? What's worse, someone else gave me Seguin Galleons, and I didn't even have any change to give them! I don't even remember who ordered it..."

Hermione said calmly from the side: "It doesn't matter, I have already registered all the customers' names. Those who stuffed you with gold galleons, that's because they reserved a particularly large amount."

There was a quill floating beside her, and the quill was still jumping diligently, writing countless lists.

Ron looked at Harry, who also had a pile of Silver Sickles in his arms.

Such a scene did not happen to Lin Xia.

Although Lin Xia was approachable, her various auras deepened, so the little wizard did not dare to trouble her too much, and would rather go to Hermione to register.

Today is Halloween.

In addition to having classes in the morning, Lin Xia and others have rest time in the afternoon.

The other little wizards have already enjoyed the Halloween party in advance, but Lin Xia and others still have to work hard to make guardian buttons.

There are about 100 guardian buttons in the first batch, and they have already sold them all.

Lin Xia didn't know what role these 100 guardian buttons could play. At least, she had exhausted all her means in the fight against this fate.

But limited to her own strength, the resistance she can do is really limited.

Lin Xia looked down at her arm, thinking about the letter she had sent to Amazon but had not yet received a reply, and sighed softly.

I hope I can get a response from my parents.

In one afternoon, they urgently produced a batch of guardian buttons.

Hermione and Draco wanted to stay in the laboratory and continue making it, but Ron and Harry were a little bit restless.

Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the auditorium for dinner. Today is a rare Halloween, so we must go and enjoy the party."

On the other hand, she also wanted to know.

What was the scene like when the "ghost riot" that Zhiming Luopan informed about in advance actually happened?

As the group walked into the auditorium on the second floor, they clearly felt that the ghosts were extremely active.

They passed a corner and saw Nick, who was almost frowning, standing in a doorway with a black velvet curtain hanging on his body.

It looked extremely sad: "My dear friends, because many unusual things happened at Hogwarts this time, the school decided to cancel our Halloween party."

Nick changed his words, "But it doesn't matter, we can also commandeer the auditorium and let the ghosts enjoy it together."

Look ahead again.

The sight before me was truly astonishing.

——The auditorium was crowded with hundreds of milky white translucent figures, most of them wandering around on the overcrowded small stage, waltzing with the terrifying and trembling sounds of the 30 musical saws. .

The band playing the saw was sitting on the stage covered with black cloth.

In a chandelier overhead, 1,000 black candles were lit, releasing pumpkins at midnight.

As the little wizards walked among the ghosts, their breath formed clouds of mist, making it feel as if they had walked into a refrigerator.

Ron said with half excitement and half fear: "I didn't expect that Dumbledore really got up and the Skeleton Band was playing on the stage!"

However, the music... is really unflattering.

Hermione couldn't help but said: "These ghosts are simply crazy!"

The ghosts floating in the auditorium are not only ghosts from Hogwarts, but also ghosts from other places.

To them, Halloween is like Christmas.

Even if the professors repeatedly stopped them, the ghosts of Hogwarts would not give up unless they could directly change the holiday of Halloween.

Lin Xia and others walked slowly around the edge of the stage, passing a group of sullen repairmen, a ragged man with chains, and oh, and a fat monk.

The fat monk was a Hufflepuff ghost, lively, and was chatting with a knight with an arrow stuck in his forehead.

It saw Lin Xia and Draco, took off the hat on its head, and greeted them politely:

"Good evening, little wizards, I wish you a happy Halloween."

Lin Xia and Draco responded: "Hello, Fat Monk, I wish you a happy Halloween too."

Just as they found their respective seats at the college dining table and sat down.

Suddenly, the black candles suspended in the starry sky above their heads, which originally emitted orange-yellow candlelight, suddenly turned into a ghostly blue like a ghost fire!

"Oh my God, what is this!" a little wizard shouted in horror.
