Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 225: Quidditch; Gris's true identity; Tom's cunning; Dobby's late-night appearance

Lin Xia was not the only one who noticed something strange about the Quaffle.

The other little wizards also discovered it, and Hermione quickly ran to Professor McGonagall and shouted:
"Professor, the Quaffle is out of control!"

However, Professor Snape said, "Ms. Granger, Harry is so far away from us, and the Quaffle is so small, how can you tell that it is out of control? Maybe Harry is about to hit the Quaffle head-on."

Hermione said seriously, "Impossible. Harry is a professional Seeker. He must have caught the Snitch first. How could he have hit the Quaffle? It's obvious that the Quaffle flew towards him on purpose!"

Snape said calmly: "Perhaps it was just an accident.

Quidditch is full of accidents, and maybe the Quaffle was on that path and hit Harry in the arm."

Hermione: "Impossible, I saw it with my own eyes, the Quaffle flew from somewhere else on purpose, and it was aimed at Harry!"

Professor McGonagall felt a little nervous when she heard the verbal confrontation between the two and immediately called a halt.

"Wait, stop talking and let me talk."

She turned to look at Hermione first, "What evidence do you have to prove that the Quaffle was out of control, rather than Harry just bumping into it?"

Hermione swore, "I saw it with my own eyes."

Mag shook her head: "No, little witch, your eyes can't do that."

Lin Xia's voice suddenly came: "Professor, because Hermione used the Sensei spell, not only her, but also Draco, Ron and I saw it."

"Extrasensory spell?" Professor Lockhart, who was watching the show on the side, asked in confusion.

Lin Xia said: "Yes, we used the super-sensory spell to enhance the five senses, especially the eyesight, so we can see the distant scenes very clearly.

If witnesses are needed, I can place this part of my memory into the Pensieve for you to watch.”

Professor McGonagall looked at Lin Xia, as if trying to determine the truthfulness of her words.

The good popularity that Lin Xia had accumulated in the past came into play at this moment.

Professor McGonagall asked seriously, "Can you vouch for it with your honors badge?"

She said word by word: "If you lie, Hogwarts will take away your status as an excellent student."

The little wizards around couldn't help but look over.

Is this punishment too severe?
That's the badge of honors!

Lin Xia said without hesitation and with great determination: "I do."

However, before Professor McGonagall could take the next step, the situation on the Quidditch field changed again.

Although one of Harry's hands was broken by the Quaffle, he still had the other hand.

With his other hand, he controlled the broom and continued to charge towards the Golden Snitch.

Gries once again started a fierce chase battle with him, and both sides showed excellent skills.

However, the place where the Golden Snitch sneaked in was too tricky!
Harry can make sudden stops and dodges with his excellent reaction ability.

But not Gross!

During the thrilling chase that lasted more than ten seconds, Gress failed to react in time and the broom in his hand suddenly fell away.

He fell straight from the sky!

Fortunately, he was not far from the ground at this time.

But the terrifying thing was that the impact of the fall was too strong. He tumbled and spun around for several weeks and a half, and finally landed on the ground with his legs open.

The other little wizards couldn't help but gasp, and some covered their eyes, unable to bear to look directly.

Is the area between your legs okay?
Gress looked extremely painful.

While Grace was writhing in pain, Harry's chase with the Golden Snitch was coming to an end.

He used a variety of difficult moves to barely avoid the last danger and finally caught the golden snitch!
At the moment he caught the Golden Snitch, he noticed that the Quaffle, which had been following him, wanted to hit him, so he deliberately tilted his posture.

Harry caught the Golden Snitch in a difficult half-reclined position and lifted it high up!

"This Quidditch match is officially over!"

"Harry caught the Golden Snitch, and Gryffindor has secured victory in this game!"

"Hail to our hero - Harry, hail Gryffindor's Seeker - Harry, we are so proud of you, Harry!"

On the Quidditch field, the audience cheered wildly.

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are also very interested in this magical sport.

Even the Slytherins, who had always disliked Gryffindor, couldn't help but applaud and gave their applause to Harry.

Thank him for such a wonderful game!

As soon as the game was over, the professor ran down from the stands.

They had already discovered that there was something wrong with Harry's arm.

Among them, Lockhart ran the fastest.

Before the host announced Gryffindor's victory, Professor Lockhart had already run over.

Lin Xia and others hurriedly followed the professor to the Quidditch field.

Lockhart had already raised Harry's broken arm and said cordially:

"This fracture repair is a piece of cake. I've done many repair surgeries. It only takes a simple little magic to make the arm as good as new."

He said, raising his wand.

Harry quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, Professor, you don't need to help, I can go to the infirmary by myself."

His green eyes were slightly frightened.

Lockhart held Harry's shoulder and said, "No need to run to the infirmary. Don't worry, it's just a simple little magic."

Lin Xia said at this time: "Professor, let Harry——"

Before she had finished speaking, a ray of magical light gathered at the tip of Lockhart's wand.

"Forearm repair!"

The next second, the light hit Harry's arm.

Immediate results!

Lockhart waved Harry's arm with a smile, "Look, it's become more flexible now, and can even bend and move up and down."

Harry:…

other people:……

Ron said, "Professor, you've made Harry's bones disappear!"

Lin Xia's eyelids twitched.

Wow, he turned into a rubber man.

Harry was rushed to the infirmary.

Professor Lockhart was extremely sorry; his original intention was indeed to make Harry a better person.

Lin Xia and others followed them to the infirmary.

I found that there was a group of people surrounding Grace, all of whom were concerned about him.

Lin Xia took a glance and turned to look at Harry who was lying on the other bed.

Madam Pomfrey came over hurriedly: "Oh, child, what happened to you? Are you upset too?"

Harry: "No ma'am, there's something wrong with my arm."

Madam Pomfrey carefully examined Harry's arm, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's no big deal, just use some bone-strengthening agent. You need to stay in the hospital for two days." In order to prevent other young wizards from disturbing the wounded's rest, Madam Pomfrey kicked the other young wizards out.

After leaving the infirmary.

Lin Xiacai asked: "Have you noticed that Grace seems to be very popular? I just saw a large group of people surrounding him."

Hermione said, "I've noticed it a long time ago. Ever since he said the mudblood's words on the playground, he seems to have been appreciated by some pure-blood students. They always gather around Greg."

She suddenly stopped and had an idea.

"I think we can lurk around Gress. I always feel like they are gathering together as if they are plotting something."

Ron agreed and said, "When he was on the second floor, after seeing the bloody words, he suddenly shouted 'enemy of the heir'. At that time, I felt that he had a problem.

I feel like he is responsible for cleaning up the unqualified students. He has a fanatical feeling. Maybe he knows something about the secret room."

Lin Xia and Draco looked at each other.

Lin Xia asked: "What do you think?"

Draco frowned: "I only know that Gris is not a pure-blood noble, so I can't understand what those people want to do by surrounding him."

Hermione and Ron are not nobles.

So I didn't know that the wizarding nobles had deep prejudices against family background.

They look down on almost all wizards!
Even if you are a pure-blood wizard, but you are not a noble, the nobles may not necessarily pay attention to you.

Therefore, in this situation, it is very unreasonable that there are so many nobles surrounding Gries.

Lin Xia pondered, "Have you investigated Gress's information? An in-depth investigation. Maybe he has hidden himself very well."

She paused and said meaningfully, "Or maybe, Gress is actually a noble as well."

Ron frowned: "Is it really that important whether he is a noble or not?
I'm not saying you can't investigate, I just think we should focus on other things."

Hermione only thought about it for a moment before she understood.

She said solemnly, word by word: "This matter is very important. Listen, Ron, if Grace is a noble, it means -

He is most likely the heir of Slytherin!"

night.

Lin Xia finished his night patrol, reported the unusual phenomenon, and returned to the golden wooden house.

She first practiced.

Daily practice is an essential task.

In the absence of external force to speed up, cultivation is the biggest external force.

After the training, Lin Xia opened her diary and talked to Tom.

Last time, Tom was very active in giving her advice and provided her with many ways to deal with the basilisk.

Lin Xia felt that although she had not yet encountered a basilisk, she had already become a snake killer.

Tom: [Dear friend, what happened recently?]
Lin Xia: [I’m glad you’ve taken the initiative to care about things happening outside. A lot of things have happened recently and I don’t know where to start.

I thought about it and decided to start with the horror on Halloween. That was the first time I encountered so many evil spirits. They surrounded Hogwarts...]
The automatic quill pen turned rapidly.

Lin Xia not only talked about the evil spirit invasion, but also mentioned the bloody words in the secret room afterwards.

Tom heard what was said before and would give suggestions from time to time.

But when he heard what happened next, he fell silent.

Tom was actually a little panicked inside.

Why do those lines of bloody words in the secret room look so much like his style?

If he finds someone now, controls him, and releases the basilisk to clean up Hogwarts, he will also give a warning in advance.

Could it be that this was another Horcrux of Voldemort, sending him a signal?
With this doubt in mind, Tom made a request to Lin Xia.

[Can you let me out? No, you just need to take me with you and let me see where the line of blood is]
Lin Xia thought for a while and replied:

[I really want to agree to you, but I can't guarantee what you will do during this period.

Besides, Tom, I cannot believe your loyalty. You have the power to bewitch people and make them believe in you and do things for you unconsciously.]
Tom didn't expect Lin Xia to say it so bluntly, and he quickly explained:

[I just know more, you worry too much, my friend]
A glimmer flashed across Lin Xia's eyes.

She manipulated the quill and quickly wrote a line of jargon.

[I'm sorry, my friend. I admit that I worry a lot about these things. We Eastern sorcerers have always been cautious. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of one.

If you really think you have no problem, could you come with me to meet Professor Babeling?

She is the greatest wizard I have ever seen besides Dumbledore, specializing in the study of ancient magic runes.

If you really want to leave, come with me to see her.

My background is very shallow, and my knowledge is not enough to tell whether you are lying or telling the truth.]
After Lin Xia wrote this sentence.

Tom was silent for a long time.

[In my time, Professor Barbling was already in office. She was indeed very mysterious, but I didn't want to see her.

When I was studying, I didn’t have a friendly relationship with her, and I don’t think she could judge me correctly.]
Lin Xia smiled silently.

She knew that Tom would never let Babel find the diary.

Likewise, he certainly didn't want Dumbledore to find out.

The conversation was fruitless.

At the same time, it was late at night in the infirmary.

Harry was sleeping soundly when he heard another noise.

"Tear you apart...I'm so hungry...Kill you..."

Harry opened his eyes immediately and looked up at the ceiling.

However, the sound only lasted for a while and then stopped.

Either disappeared or ran away.

Just when he didn't know what to do, suddenly, an ugly house-elf appeared in front of him.

That's Dobby!

As soon as Dobby saw Harry Potter, his face was filled with admiration.

"Harry Potter is the best Seeker in the world. He has a kind heart. He defeated the Dark Lord. Dobby decided to let him leave Hogwarts to prevent him from getting hurt..."

It muttered to itself for a long time, stared at Harry and said, "You should leave Hogwarts. This place is not safe!"

Harry said helplessly: "You are wrong. Hogwarts is the safest place. It is impossible for me to go back to my uncle."

Dobby paced back and forth anxiously: “It’s different now, Hogwarts is dangerous, Harry Potter must leave.

I sealed off the King's Platform and dabbled with the Quaffle, but I couldn't stop Harry Potter."

It opened its big, shining eyes and asked heartbrokenly, "What will it take for you to leave Hogwarts?"

Harry solemnly reiterated: "I said, I'm not leaving!"

Dobby spread his fingers and showed Harry his punishment.

"Harry Potter was a good man and I wanted him to leave, but I also caused him harm, so I chose to burn my hand with the iron."
