Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 238: Countless fan letters, Rita's madness, Snape's frustration
The weather has turned cold again recently.

The little wizards all took out their sweaters and put them on. A warm fireplace was lit up in the room, with a bright flame burning.

Lin Xia received a lot of letters while having lunch in the auditorium at noon.

Most of these letters were sent from other places, and some were sent across oceans and countries.

The guardian buttons launched by Lin Xia somehow have a group of fanatical fans.

And almost all of these fans know that she goes to school at Hogwarts.

So I sent a letter directly to the school, specifically stating that it was from Lin Xiashou.

After testing, the administrator of Hogwarts determined that there was no danger and directly handed over the letters from readers that had been sent across the ocean to Lin Xia.

Ron looked on with envy as Lin Xia was covered by a sea of ​​letters.

He turned to discuss with Harry and Hermione: "Do you think that Lin Xia received more letters than Professor Lockhart?"

Hermione straightened her chest and said calmly, "Of course, Professor Lockhart's fame has not spread to other countries yet.

The protective button is said to have been sold in many countries with wizards, and it has been promoted more widely and known by more people. "

Ron said curiously, "I thought you would be more supportive of Professor Lockhart."

Hermione said: "No, I am just stating the facts and respecting the facts. Lin Xia is my friend and she deserves this treatment."

Lin Xia read several letters from readers.

These letters, coming and going, were all praising how wonderful and creative the guardian buttons she made were.

She handed the letters over to Draco and simply left them alone.

"Please help me take a look when you are free, or take all these letters to the lab. I am tired from doing experiments, and I can also read how my fans praise me."

Draco didn't know what he was thinking about, but he couldn't help but smile.

"Not only me, but I also want others to watch and see how the fans are praising you. Maybe this can be a rare moment of relaxation in our busy experiment."

Draco took the letters and stuffed them all into his storage ring.

There was one letter that was different from the others, it was made pink, so he kept it and opened it to take a look.

Before opening the letter.

He wondered if this letter might be a confession of admiration for Lin Xia.

But when he opened it, he discovered.

It turns out that this is a disguised letter, disguising the howler letter as an ordinary letter!
"Oh, Lin Xia, my dear Lin Xia!"

A deafening scream rang out, attracting the attention of all the young wizards in the auditorium.

It can be heard that the person who made the roaring letter is a woman, but the emotion revealed by the envelope is not anger, but joy.

Lin Xia was unable to react for a moment.

As for Draco, he was already in a daze because he was too close to the source of the sound.

The letter was automatically cut into pieces, turning into the shape of a pink mouth.

“I am very pleased that you were able to create something as imaginative as the Guardian Button.

You may not understand how much the Guardian Button has helped me. I think the significance of making it is no less than being awarded the Order of Merlin!
It's awesome!!
I can't wait to tell the world how great Button Guard is..."

Lin Xia lowered her head, feeling so embarrassed that she could dig a castle out of her toes.

During this time, she took out the milk tea and drank it pretending to be calm.

This roaring letter has been going on for 20 minutes without me noticing.

And in these 20 minutes.

Have 10 minutes to express your admiration for her.

There are still 10 minutes left to express how effective the Guardian Button is.

Thank goodness!

When the roaring letter spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes.

Lin Xia, no, all the students at the Hufflepuff table couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Hufflepuff students and students from other tables looked at each other in confusion.

After a long period of silence in the auditorium, people finally started to communicate with each other.

"That's an interesting letter, isn't it?"

"Yes, I think so too. It turns out that Lin Xia is so popular outside!"

"But she is also very popular in Hogwarts, and there are many young wizards who are her admirers."

The little wizard was talking while secretly glancing at Lin Xia.

After entering the second grade, there were more outstanding students, but Lin Xia was still the best one.

Lin Xia published a paper in her first year.

This is too far away from the little wizard!

At that time, the little wizard only knew that Lin Xia's invention was amazing, but he paid more attention to little wizards like Harry Potter who had stronger external expressiveness.

As everyone entered the second grade, their knowledge was broadened a lot, and their understanding of the entire wizarding world became clearer.

The little wizard also began to admire and respect Lin Xia.

After Lin Xia came out of the auditorium and walked on the road, she felt that there seemed to be more people around her looking at her.

same moment.

Also somewhere in the Kingdom of Great Britain.

In a place that is very hidden from Muggles but not a secret to the wizarding world - the Ministry of Magic.

A certain office suddenly received a letter.

It was a letter specifically for Rita Skeeter.

Rita took off her glasses, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and she couldn't wait to open the letter.

Often when a letter was sent to her, it meant that a wizard had revealed something.

However, what surprised her was that the letter was signed by Lin Xia.

Rita had a bad feeling in her heart.

After reading the letter, Rita confirmed this hunch.

"She's crazy, she must be crazy!"

There was a rare hint of anxiety in Rita's emotionless eyes.

"She actually wanted to research a method to detect Animagus. She thinks she can do something that the entire wizarding world has not been able to do for hundreds of years...

Yes, she can't do it, I don't need to give her useful advice, I just need to give her some crooked advice!"

Rita regained her composure, thought for a while, and immediately picked up her pen to reply.

She also wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Lin Xia.

So she would not fail to reply. On the contrary, she would give some useful information about transfiguration to improve Lin Xia's favorability.

On the other side, Lin Xia walked into the laboratory.

After isolating herself from the gazes of the little wizards around her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was not afraid of being stared at, she still felt uncomfortable being stared at all the time.

She was a little confused: "Is the roaring letter so powerful?"

Draco shook his head: "Not only the Howler Letter, but also the Guardian Button has indeed made many young wizards recognize you again."

Lin Xia’s previous magic warfare inventions were too far away from the little wizard.

Young wizards who can go to school at Hogwarts, even if they come from poor families, can receive special subsidies to customize a wand of their own.

So they cannot realize how great magnetic wands and natural wands are. Only adult wizards can deeply appreciate this.

But the Guardian Button is different.

The Guardian Button can actually allow little wizards to buy it and experience its usefulness.

As a result, Lin Xia's reputation spread quickly.

Draco dumped all the letters into a large box. He decided to read the letters when he felt tired from doing experiments in the future.

Suddenly, Lin Xia saw a letter that was shining with some kind of luster among a pile of letters.

She was a little nervous, wondering if it was another yelling letter.
She opened it carefully and soon her brows relaxed.

It turned out to be a letter from Romania. Will told her about the situation of the gem dragon and urged her to update the last story.

All the dragons were tired of the previous stories and couldn't wait to hear new ones.

Lin Xia thought about what had happened to her recently and waved her wand.

The feather pen automatically flew up, found a piece of white paper, and wrote a large piece of writing quickly.

"Since the victory in the last battle against the dwarves, the Dragon Lord has been praised by his subjects.

Many people wrote books and composed songs for him, and the Dragon Lord was deeply loved by the people...

At first, the Dragon Lord was very vain and liked this honor very much, but as time went by, he felt a heavy pressure.

Can it lead its people well, can it set an example, can it see through the enemy's tricks every time..."

Lin Xia suddenly had a burst of inspiration and wrote a bunch of words in a very fluent manner.

In a short while, the 1-word manuscript was written.

She read the story again, and finally carefully named this chapter:

"Glory makes the dragon progress, but also makes it difficult for the dragon to move forward"

same moment.

Professor McGonagall is here. She's in the corridor and called out to Professor Snape.

Professor Snape still had greasy hair, and his eyes were dark and cold. When he looked at people, they were as cold as a snake.

Whether he was facing a young wizard or a professor of the same level, his eyes never changed.

Professor Snape said arrogantly: "Professor McGonagall, you called me for something.

If you want to talk to me about Gryffindor students, I'm sorry I can't discuss it with you. I have no interest in those grumpy little lions."

Professor McGonagall said seriously, "No, I want to tell you about something else."

She pulled out a piece of paper.

This piece of paper is the application form that Lin Xia handed her this morning.

She had already seen it. Lin Xia applied to the school and used the school's channels to find the horns of a bicorn and the skin of a boomslang.

Professor Snape scanned the application at a glance, his expression slightly changed.

"These two materials are not ordinary. They are both rare materials with restricted trading. What does Lin Xia want these two materials for?"

He said arrogantly, “Don’t tell me that the research she did this time is related to Polyjuice Potion.

If I remember correctly, these two ingredients are important ingredients in Polyjuice Potion."

Professor McGonagall said calmly: "But these two materials are not only widely used in potions, but also in other potions."

She made a point of emphasizing this.

Polyjuice decoction is not the only medicine that uses these two ingredients.

"It is also widely used in alchemy research. I read her application report. It is well-reasoned and reasonable. She is currently researching a new method for making magic wands."

Snape did not see the specific application report.

Of course, if he wants to watch it, he can.

But when he heard what Professor McGonagall said, he couldn't help but sneer.

“I remember that during the last meeting, Hogwarts mainly favored Lin Xia in terms of providing resources for the guarding experiment.

She wants to study wands, but she can’t get support from the school.”

Professor McGonagall finished speaking to him before adding another sentence.

"Lin Xia said that she would use these two materials not only to study magic wands, but also to study experiments related to protection. She believed that these two materials could have some positive effects."

Professor Snape snorted with great arrogance, "That's a lie!"

Professor McGonagall said calmly: "I don't care whether she lies or not, I just want her to produce the experimental results.

Snape, if you refuse to help, perhaps you could research and develop another guardian product on your own that is the same as the guardian button?"

McGonagall's question left Snape speechless.

He said coldly: "At six o'clock tonight, ask Lin Xia to come to my office to get the materials!"

Lin Xia has no classes in the afternoon.

She didn't stay in the lab either, but returned to the golden cabin.

The concentration of magic power condensed in the golden wooden house is generally higher than that in the laboratory, so it is more suitable to practice in the golden wooden house.

Lin Xia would do the practice that she had started in the evening in the afternoon.

She felt that this time the practice went exceptionally smoothly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the practice in the afternoon or for some other reason.

When it comes to the foundation-building stage, people will gradually awaken a certain kind of "spiritual perception".

This kind of spiritual perception is a sense of oneself, which is reflected in recent fortune, whether things are going smoothly, whether there is a crisis approaching, etc.

The more you practice, the higher your spiritual perception will become.

Therefore, the legend that those who have cultivated to a high level and are powerful enough to predict the date of their own death is correct.

After the practice, a pigeon knocked on her wooden door and dropped a letter.

Lin Xia heard the sound, opened the door and picked up the letter.

It was a letter from Professor Snape.

The letter stated that she should come to the office at six o'clock in the evening to get the materials.

Lin Xia couldn't help but whistle happily.

She thought she knew why her practice in the afternoon went so smoothly.

Lin Xia opened the secret key, looked at the task board, and took on the night patrol mission again.

As a regular task, the night patrol mission needs to be completed ten times to add 0.1 points.

Lin Xia wasn't doing it for the points.

There is a huge gap of 3.0 points between the intermediate authority of 7 and the advanced authority of the next level.

This is not a score that can be obtained through school assignments.

She accepted the night watch just to learn more about the evil god's whispers.

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and there was Professor Oliwe Ole who only appeared during night patrol missions.

She has been looking for this professor for a long time.

But I never found this professor in the Hogwarts class schedule.

Perhaps, she could talk to this professor and find out what subject he taught at Hogwarts?
At night.

Lin Xia did not go to Snape's office alone.

She must want to bear the old viper's wrath alone.

She called all the other friends over.

Sure enough, as soon as Professor Snape saw Harry, he focused his fire on it.

"I heard that you became an official assistant in Lin Xia's laboratory. I suddenly felt pessimistic about Lin Xia's experiment. Why would she choose such a stupid person like you as her assistant?

Is she after you because you're pretty, or is she after you because you're a hindrance in her experiment?

If you make a mistake accidentally, the experiment will be invalidated.

Oh, maybe there's another reason, if you make enough mistakes, you can apply for more reimbursements, right?"

Lin Xia couldn't help but cough lightly: "Professor, I'm still here, we definitely don't have such an idea."

She really didn't have this idea before.

But what Professor Snape said gave her a new idea.

Why hadn't she thought of it before?

She is really too naive!

Harry remained calm in the face of Snape's sharp tongue.

It should be said that he had long been accustomed to Snape's particularly harsh attitude towards him.
