Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 198 Mikel’s goal, shouting letter and press conference assistant!

Lin Xia suddenly turned to look at Draco: "Do you have your protective ring with you?"

Draco nodded: "Yes."

He stretched out his palm, and a ring carved like a dragon was placed on his thumb.

This ring was an amulet made by Uncle Lucius who collected many precious materials and asked Lin Xia's father to create it. It can not only resist physical attacks and spell attacks, but also resist mental attacks.

At least Lin Xia knew that this ring had withstood Dumbledore's Legilimency and was very effective.

Lin Xia said in a deep voice: "From now on, your protective ring must be turned on 24 hours a day, even when sleeping."

This protective ring is equivalent to an excellent alchemical artifact, and it consumes magic power every time it is used.

If there is no dedicated supply of magic stones, the user's magic power must be extracted.

Magic stones are considered a precious resource in the wizarding world.

Lin Xia didn't know if there were magic stones in Hogwarts. There might be, but she couldn't access them yet, but she told the Malfoy family that it would be no problem to get a few magic stones.

Therefore, the inside of Draco's protective ring is always inlaid with a small dark red bead, which is a high-grade magic stone.

Once the ring is opened, the magic power in the magic stone will be consumed.

As a daily consumption, a high-level magic stone can be used for half a year.

But if it is used as a power source to function as a strange object, it depends on the degree of use.

A thrilling battle is enough to quickly consume more than half of the high-level magic stones.

So Lin Xia warned again: "Write a letter to your father tonight and ask him to get you a few more magic stones in case you need them."

Draco didn't take it seriously at first.

But seeing Lin Xia explain so solemnly and repeatedly, he couldn't help but become solemn.

"Lin Xia, do you have a premonition of what will happen to me next?"

Draco had no doubt that Lin Xia's keen intuition came from the magical Eastern Warlock.

She would always glimpse something and say something incomprehensible from time to time.

It may seem like nothing now, but months or even years from now.

When he accidentally recalled it, he would find that Lin Xia's prediction at that time was extremely correct. This was the experience he had accumulated since he was a child.

Lin Xia slowly shook his head.

Her tone was deep and calm.

"Is it possible that Hogwarts is no longer so safe?"

……

after an hour.

The two went from the laboratory to the auditorium.

At this time, the expressions of the two of them were normal.

Lin Xia was not shocked to begin with, but as for Draco, after the shock, there was only silence.

He questioned Lin Xia's prediction, but he also believed in Lin Xia.

No matter what, there is nothing wrong with getting a few more high-level magic stones from the family.

Harry and Ron had already sat down at the Gryffindor table. Next to them was Hermione. A copy of "Traveling with Vampires" was spread out on the milk jug.

This book is written by Professor Lockhart.

After just one day of class, the elegant, handsome and charming Professor Lockhart took the entire school by storm.

The witches admired him very much, but the wizards didn't feel much.

Hermione ignored the two of them. She still believed that it was very dangerous for the two of them to come to school in a magical speed car.

Lin Xia and Draco took the initiative to sit next to Hermione and talked to her about completing the experimental data.

Ron and Harry were also sitting nearby, feeling a little embarrassed.

Because they don’t understand a word!

Lin Xia looked around and didn't see any student, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where is Mikel Bain? He is not with you?"

In the last school year, although Mikel was no longer active towards Harry, he still wanted to integrate in the past.

Ron said: "Oh, he is probably busy asking Professor Lockhart for advice, right?"

Lin Xia asked curiously: "He likes Professor Lockhart?"

Harry recalled: "It must be that he was very excited in the dormitory last night and kept chanting the Forgetting Charm, saying that he wanted to ask the professor to teach him this spell.

I remember that the Oblivion Curse is an advanced spell, right? Can he learn advanced spells now? "

Ron thought for a while: "I remember that he also received teachings from Professor Quirrell. Professor Quirrell praised his talent for magic spells."

Hermione couldn't help but interjected: "Good at Charms? Not necessarily, then why did Professor Flitwick use so bad spells in his Charms class?"

Lin Xia said at this time: "Maybe it's the same as when he taught Harry defensive spells before. Maybe Mikel has more special talents in the field of special spells, such as attack spells.

Do you still remember the breakthrough at the end of last semester? Mikel used several shots in succession, and the effects were very powerful.

The power of his attack spells far exceeds the power of ordinary spells. "

Harry asked curiously: "So Mikel's talent is also biased towards attack spells?"

Lin Xia smiled: "Not necessarily."

She said slowly: "The magic spells that can play an offensive role are not necessarily the only attack spells."

She didn't continue, but Draco silently completed her sentence in his mind.

—and black magic.

Draco looked at Hermione, who looked thoughtful, and then at Harry and Ron, who were still confused, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Since he had been in contact with Harry for a long time, his desire to make friends with Harry had become much less intense.

Without the aura of "savior", Harry is just an ordinary little wizard.

The two of them still have a long way to go if they want to keep up with Hermione.

I thought this dinner would go by so smoothly, but apparently the excitement was yet to come.

After most of the little wizards had finished eating, there was suddenly a roaring sound above their heads, and hundreds of owls flew in and circled above the auditorium.

With their precise and sharp eyes, they dropped letters and packages on the heads of their conversing owners.

Lin Xia saw a big bulging package fall on Neville's head, and then a big gray thing fell into Hermione's milk jug, and milk and gray feathers splashed all over them.

The reason why I use "them" is because the only ones who were splashed were Ron and Harry.

When Lin Xia noticed something was wrong, she immediately used "Armor Protection". Hermione also reacted quickly and immediately used a "Rebound Curse".

As for Draco, he didn't need to move anything. The protective ring on his finger had been protecting him and blocked these things.

The gray owl flew out of the jug filled with milk, holding a red envelope in its mouth.

Ron's eyes widened, he covered his head with his hands, and said in horror: "Oh no!" Hermione said: "It's not dead yet, Ron."

Harry also thought that Ron was worried about the owl, but Neville seemed to have remembered something and also looked at the letter with horror.

Ron said in despair: "No, my mother sent me a howling letter!"

Neville whispered: "Ron, you'd better open it. My grandma once sent one, but I ignored it, and the result..."

He seemed to recall something super scary, "That was even scarier."

Harry and Hermione asked in confusion: "What is a roaring letter?"

Just as Lin Xia was about to explain, he found that the four corners of the envelope had begun to smoke.

Neville urged again: "Hurry up, Ron!"

His voice was trembling, "If you wait for it to explode, it will be even more terrifying. Open it quickly!"

Ron opened the letter in despair.

Harry and Hermione immediately knew what a roaring letter was. At first, he thought it was an explosion. The huge sound filled the entire auditorium and seemed to shake the dust off the ceiling.

"...I won't be surprised if they fire you for stealing a speed car. Let's see how I deal with you then! You probably haven't even thought about how your father and I felt when we found out that the car was gone... "

Harry recognized Mrs. Weasley's voice.

It was hundreds of times louder than usual, making the plates and spoons on the table rattle.

The echoes from the surrounding stone walls were deafening.

Everyone in the auditorium turned around to see who had received the shouting letter.

Ron huddled in his chair and buried his head in his arms. Everyone could only see the round back of his head and his extremely red ears.

"I received Dumbledore's letter last night. Your father was so ashamed that he almost died! We worked hard to raise you, but we didn't expect you to do such a thing. You and Harry almost lost their lives... …”

Harry kept waiting for when his name would pop up, trying his best to pretend he didn't hear the sound hitting his eardrums.

"...It's so irritating. Your father will be scrutinized at work. It's all your fault. If you don't behave yourself, we'll take you back right away!"

I thought the rant letter would end here.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Weasley's voice became gentler as she changed her words.

But that tenderness is only relative.

Under the power of the roaring letter, no matter how gentle the words are, they become lethal.

"And you, Lin Xia, I didn't expect that you would follow Ron around and ride on the magic speeder together. But I learned from Dumbledore that when Ron was in danger, you used magic to save them. .

Lin Xia, you are Ron's friend. Please discipline Ron when you are free and don't let him act recklessly. "

That ends the rant letter.

It floats in the air and burns automatically, then turns into a pile of ash.

Several people stared blankly at the shouting letter, Mrs. Weasley's voice seemed to be echoing in their ears.

She was so angry!

After a while, the auditorium returned to calm, and some people were talking and laughing.

Harry always felt that many people were looking at him, and he and Ron couldn't help but lower their heads.

Lin Xia thought of something and turned to look at Draco.

Draco also opened the letter sent by the owl, looking a little unhappy.

Since Dumbledore told everything to the Weasleys, he would definitely not forget to mention that Draco was also on the magic speeder, but Mrs. Weasley did not mention Draco.

Draco noticed Lin Xia's gaze and a wry smile crossed his lips: "This is a letter from my mother. She said that my father is under review by the Ministry of Magic."

Lin Xia asked: "What reason was used?"

Draco's mouth twitched: "Privately collecting items from the Muggle world."

Lin Xia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, when I went to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies, your father had already sold all the Muggle items in the house to Knockturn Alley. The Ministry of Magic should have everything. Can’t find out.”

Draco nodded, "That's true. Even my mother didn't know that all the Muggle belongings in the house were sold by my father.

She severely condemned the matter in her letter. On the one hand, she was glad that it was handled in time, but on the other hand, she complained that we did not discuss it with her in advance. "

He paused for a moment, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, what I'm most worried about is not this, but that this is the first time that my father has been censored by the Ministry of Magic for this reason, and the content of the censorship is related to the Weasley family.

My father hated the Weasley family so much that it was an insult to him to be scrutinized with the Weasleys. "

Draco's guess was correct.

At the same time, the Ministry of Magic.

Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy were locked in the same examination room, and both of them were to be questioned by the Ministry of Magic tonight.

When they saw each other, both sides were stunned.

One is the head of the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles at the Ministry of Magic, and the other is a member of the Department of Discipline of the Ministry of Magic.

The former needs to strictly guard Muggle items, while the latter has no real power in the Ministry of Magic, and often does not appear in the Ministry of Magic's external recruitment job lists. It is just a gilded leisure position for wealthy people.

The directors of these two most unrelated departments were both censored by the Ministry of Magic for the same matter.

Arthur and Lucius looked at each other with disgust. The only thing they had in common was——

Everyone has an unfair son!
In the evening, Hermione followed Lin Xia and Draco to the laboratory, and Ron and Harry also followed.

Although the two of them didn't know what the use was, when Lin Xia asked them if they wanted to go, Ron and Harry immediately agreed.

The laboratory is still very sacred to them.

Even if it's just helping with chores, they find it meaningful.

Of course, they definitely didn't decide to follow because Lin Xia said there was a way for them to memorize the Transfiguration textbook.

When I went to the laboratory, I thought I was doing odd jobs, but that was not necessarily the case.

Lin Xia immediately arranged a lot of books for them to read. Ron frowned and asked with a grimace, "What are these?"

Draco glanced at it and said, "These are the materials we looked through when studying the natural wand. They are just relatively common materials. There are also some materials that need to be found in the restricted book area. We have no right to borrow them."

Harry was also confused: "Then what are we looking at?"

Lin Xia: "Next weekend we will use the school's auditorium to hold a press conference on the natural wand, and we will also defend the published paper.

The natural magic wand involves a lot of theoretical knowledge, so we will need on-site assistants at that time. We only need to speak, and you will open the corresponding information on the stage and let the audience see it through the magic screen so that the audience can understand. "

Ron and Harry looked at each other.

They are happy to help their friends.

But if they want to do things like flipping through information, they may not necessarily have the strength!

Lin Xia seemed to have guessed what they were thinking and smiled: "Don't worry, it's quite simple. After you finish reading this pile of information, the assistant will be qualified. Then I will teach you shorthand methods so that you can deal with Professor McGonagall." ”
