Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 269 Are you the heir to the secret room?
I have to say that the twins are very clear about right and wrong.

They know very well what can make money and what cannot.

Thanks to the twins' promotion, in just one afternoon, the whole Hogwarts knew that Lin Xia's laboratory had invented a pair of magical glasses that could be worn to avoid eye contact with the basilisk at the first opportunity.

The lower grade students were the first to know about it and buy it. Then the higher grade students heard about it and immediately ran to the grocery store.

Yes, Lin Xia directly gave the production method of this prop to the school grocery store and asked the school to find someone to produce it. She only charged a symbolic patent fee.

If these strange glasses are related to magic, they may not be easy to crack.

After all, magic runes are very powerful things. Without someone to teach you, it is difficult to figure out all the magic runes on alchemical items.

But not the Magic Glasses.

It is just a simple Muggle product without any magical content. As long as you understand the principle, anyone can make it easily.

If Lin Xia sells it too expensively, believe it or not, counterfeits will appear the next day for everyone to see.

So instead of going through the trouble of producing it ourselves, it is better to cooperate directly with the school.

The school's grocery store happened to be very interested in Lin Xia's magical glasses and gave her a very generous patent fee.

This is considered as buying out the right to use the wonderful glasses. The subsequent pricing and sales profit sharing will have nothing to do with Lin Xia.

However, after Lin Xia learned that the grocery store only sold the magical glasses for 3 copper nits, she stopped paying attention to it.

This selling price is almost the cost price of the Qimiao glasses, and they don’t make any money from students.

In the evening, Lin Xia came to the auditorium and found that almost everyone was wearing strange glasses.

In order to distinguish the glasses from those that look the same, the little wizard also made some decorations on them.

Some people specially glued a few feathers on it, some wrote their own names on it, and some even glued some special shells on it.

The most exaggerated one is Luna, she can't let go of these wonderful glasses, and no one knows how she deals with it.

She actually stuck the butterbeer to her glasses!
When Lin Xia saw her dressed like this, she couldn't help but mourn for her nose for a few minutes, wondering if her nose would collapse under such a heavy burden.

With the magic glasses, the little wizard was obviously much more relaxed.

They didn’t have enough fun on Valentine’s Day, so they planned to hold some parties in the evening to make up for the regret.

In addition to the magical glasses, guardian amulets and guardian buttons have also ushered in a wave of hot sales.

The young wizard still values ​​his life very much, especially when everyone is in danger, he buys all kinds of life-saving props for free.

Unfortunately, people often cannot see the route clearly after wearing the magic glasses and bump into others while walking.

When Lin Xia was in class during the day, she saw several collisions between little wizards.

Ron asked curiously: "Lin Xia, can we improve the magic glasses so that the little wizard can see the road more clearly?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "It can't be changed, optical refraction is like this, I have already adjusted the angle very low.

If the angle is raised, perhaps the image that appears in the glasses will not be the little wizard's hair, but the ceiling."

Ron suggested, "How about lowering it a bit?"

Lin Xia still shook her head.

Hermione said impatiently, "Can you use your brain to think about it? If you lower the light a little, do you need to make magic glasses? Just a pair of plain glasses will do the trick, and you can look the basilisk in the eye the first time."

Ron was scolded, shrugged and said nothing more.

He just wanted to see if he could improve it.

Another day passed, and the little wizard had already adapted to life wearing the magic glasses.

Dumbledore showed up at Hogwarts, observed this interesting phenomenon, and took the initiative to ask McGonagall: "What are they wearing?"

Mag said with some pride: "Lin Xia's invention can help us avoid eye contact with a basilisk if we encounter one."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a shrill scream from downstairs, followed by a crazy crowing of chickens.

How loud is the sound?

It's similar to the sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival.

Dumbledore and McGonagall immediately appeared downstairs. They saw a little wizard lying in the corridor in shock, and opposite him was a girls' bathroom.

This bathroom used to have a ghost named Myrtle. It was an abandoned bathroom that had not been used for a long time.

When the young wizard saw the professor, he said in panic: "I saw a snake, a thick and strong snake, it wants to attack me! It is so big..."

The young wizard gestured in panic. The waist circumference of this snake was as big as that of three or four adults. He was scared silly when he saw it.

Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed with a thoughtful light as he looked at the little wizard gently.

"Don't be nervous, you are safe now."

His voice was gentle, like a stream of warm water, making the trembling little wizard less afraid.

When Dumbledore was waiting for him to calm down and wanted to take him to the office for questioning, another professor arrived.

It's Professor Snape.

Snape also heard the little wizard's scream and hurried over from somewhere else, but he arrived a little late.

He saw Dumbledore and McGonagall, and the solemn expression on his face relaxed slightly and he looked at the little wizard.

"Why are you screaming?"

The little wizard said timidly: "I saw a snake, a very big snake."

Snape frowned. "Are you talking about the basilisk? If it really was a basilisk, you would be petrified now."

The young wizard raised his magical glasses and said, "Because I wore the glasses, I didn't come into contact with the basilisk right away. I also brought the Screaming Chicken."

The young wizard reached out to the doll hanging on the edge of his wizard robe and patted its head. The Screaming Chicken immediately let out a loud and powerful cry -

"Kick-kick! Kick-kick!"

The sound of the screaming chicken immediately attracted other little wizards.

"Campos, why are you so embarrassed?"

"What are you doing here, Professor?"

"Hey, why is there so much water in this bathroom?"

Campos hurriedly said: “I just saw a basilisk!

I was passing by the bathroom and noticed that there was a lot of water leaking onto the floor, so I wanted to go in and turn off the faucet.

But before I went in, I saw a thick basilisk coming out of the bathroom. Fortunately, I had on my magic glasses and screaming chicken, and the basilisk was scared away by me!"

The young wizard exclaimed, "Wow, the magic glasses and the screaming chicken are so useful!"

"The things produced by Lin Xia's laboratory are still amazing!"

"Mom, I'm not afraid of basilisks anymore!"

Snape frowned and told all the little wizards to disperse. He took Campos to his office for further questioning.

After asking questions, Campos left, leaving only a few professors to carefully study the strange glasses and screaming chickens they had just bought from the grocery store.

Snape put on the magical glasses and found no magic in them.

He said: "This is not an alchemical product. It should be discovered through observing the laws of light in nature."

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly: "Lin Xia told me that these are glasses she made using the knowledge she learned from the Muggle world."

Professor Flitwick exclaimed: "The knowledge that Muggles have mastered is so great! I thought they knew nothing."

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched and he wanted to say something. He despised the Muggle world in his heart and always believed that it was an ignorant and backward place.

But the invention of magic glasses and screaming chicken made him shut up.

He could hardly believe that the difficult problem that had troubled him for half a semester at Hogwarts could be solved so easily by a pair of Muggle glasses.

Although this screaming chicken is an alchemical product, the production principle is not complicated and he can make it easily.

But he never thought of using knowledge to create such a thing.

Lin Xia was able to think of this, she indeed possesses an unparalleled mind.

Professor Sprout smiled and said, "Principal, Lin Xia performed so well, can Hogwarts give her some rewards?"

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just give Lin Xia an extra 0.5 points on the Excellent Student Badge."

Sprout was silent for a moment. This was not the reward she wanted.

Lin Xia's Eastern sorcerer bloodline gradually boiled and awakened, and he urgently needed the power of the forbidden book.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Why did she happen to encounter spatial instability?
After the other professors left, Dumbledore picked up the magic glasses and looked at them. He even tried to put them on himself and pressed the Screaming Chicken.

Dumbledore turned to look at Fawkes. Through the reflection of the mirror, he could only see the few tufts of hair on Fawkes' head.

He couldn't help laughing. "What an interesting invention, isn't it, Fox?"

Dumbledore wore his glasses and said to himself, "As expected of Babel, he is the one chosen by her. He has such an outstanding talent for invention and manufacturing.

Do we still need to arrange the Chamber of Secrets... Well, let's arrange it. How can we grow strong and healthy without going through hardships? Grow up as soon as possible, Harry."

……

It was only one night.

The news that Campos had seen the basilisk and survived it spread throughout Hogwarts.

Some senior students were a little hesitant about buying the wonderful glasses and screaming chickens, thinking that these things were flashy and just a gimmick to gain attention.

But when someone was really rescued by these two things, all of a sudden, every student in Hogwarts had one.

Lin Xia was the one who felt the most deeply about this.

Because she found that now whenever she walked in the corridor, many little wizards would come to greet her.

That would be fine, but the little wizards always smiled at her and wanted to do everything for her, including but not limited to:
Her desk and chair were wiped clean during class, and her desk was piled with flowers every morning, noon and evening. All the little wizards praised her beauty and intelligence.

Even the parents of her students sent her letters frantically, expressing their desire to sponsor her research free of charge, and they stuffed the envelopes with gold Galleons.

Lin Xia:......

It’s a bit exaggerated!
In the laboratory, Ron said jokingly: "Lin Xia, you are the hero of all the little wizards after Harry. Everywhere I went today, there were little wizards talking about you."

Lin Xia asked curiously, "Is Harry also this crazy when he first started school?"

Ron shook his head: "Although the little wizard admires him, he is still very reserved, and the students' parents are not so exaggerated."

He thought for a moment and said, "Harry has a high reputation in the wizarding world, but it's too high, and it doesn't seem real, and it's hard to approach him.

But you are different, you are very real, and can be touched by young wizards, so your reputation in the wizarding world is not as good as Harry's, but your appeal in Hogwarts should be unmatched by anyone."

Lin Xia looked down at some letters sent by parents. They were all very excited and said that they were always worried about the safety of their children going to school at Hogwarts and were grateful to her for solving these problems.

Lin Xia shook her head and said calmly, "This enthusiasm is only temporary. We still need to work harder and come up with more research."

She looked at the others. "Do you have any ideas for the next study?"

……

The curfew was soon approaching, and Lin Xia and others came out of the laboratory and went their separate ways.

Lin Xia and Draco walked towards the Hufflepuff common room on the second floor, and suddenly met Professor Snape on the way.

Snape held an oil lamp and stood outside the window like a sculpture, staring into the darkness outside.

Lin Xia and Draco looked at each other and stopped walking, not wanting to disturb him.

But the next second, Snape's voice rang out.

"Lin Xia, I have something to ask you."

Soon, Lin Xia and Draco came to the abandoned bathroom again.

Lin Xia was brought here by Snape, and Draco followed shamelessly.

Lin Xia stood at the door and asked in confusion: "Professor Snape, why did you bring me here?"

Snape looked directly at her with his cold and deep eyes, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Is there something wrong with this bathroom?"

Affirmative.

Lin Xia frowned: "Professor, I don't quite understand what you are saying."

Snape said: "Filch told me many times before that there was something wrong with this bathroom, but I checked it a lot, from the floor to the ceiling, and to every corner, and found something wrong.

I went to Filch in the afternoon and asked him why he felt something was wrong. He said that Mrs. Norris always barked at this bathroom before, and then you reminded him and asked him to give feedback. "

His tone was calm and when he looked at her, his eyes were dark and deep, full of oppression.

"Did you realize at that time that there was something wrong with this bathroom?"

Lin Xia shook her head calmly: "No, but I don't think Mrs. Luo Lisi would bark for no reason. It may have sensed something."

Snape stared at her. "But just yesterday, Campos said he saw a basilisk coming out of the bathroom.

Lin Xia, if you knew there was something wrong with this bathroom but didn't say anything...it's hard for me not to doubt - are you the heir to the secret room?"
