Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

302 Peering from the Dark
Dumbledore listened carefully to their reports.

Both Aurors stood straight with their backs erect, looking honorable but a little panicked.

Dumbledore said: "So, you originally only discovered that Harry was lying, and wanted to focus on tracking him down.

But at Mag's reminder, you decided to ask Gress, and learned that Gress could find the whereabouts of the basilisk as soon as it came out. "

The male Auror said, "Yes, the polygraph said he did not lie."

The female Auror also spoke up: "Our original plan was to enter Hogwarts and do everything we could to build a good relationship with Gress and obtain first-hand information from him."

But at that time no one thought that another petrified person would appear in Hogwarts so soon, and they decided to close the school urgently.

What they didn't expect was that after just one night, while they were sleeping, the basilisk was found and killed.

Dumbledore said calmly, "Being able to speak Parseltongue, being able to communicate with the basilisk, and being able to detect it the moment it came out, each of these alone doesn't mean much, but when all of these things come together, it's not simple."

The male and female Aurors looked at each other, but they didn't hear any deep meaning from it.

Dumbledore continued to ask: "What is your impression of Gris?"

He added: "There is a piece of news that has not been announced to the public. Gress died in the secret room (the sacrifice reported to the public). I want to know more about this student."

Upon hearing this, both the male and female Aurors were silent for a while.

Sacrifice, what a heavy word.

The female Auror said, "At first, he didn't leave a good impression on me. He was very arrogant and didn't respect Professor McGonagall at all. Later, he even suggested that he talk to him alone next time and let Professor Snape come."

The male Auror also said: "I sympathize with his experience, but from a student's perspective, he is not a good student. He has no respect for the professor. I even think he was a little provocative to Professor McGonagall at the time."

Dumbledore whispered, "He never liked McGonagall..."

"By the way, there's also Lin Xia. You guys went to find Lin Xia first. Did she lie?"

"I'm not lying. Lin Xia obviously doesn't have any other abilities. Harry and Grace's perceptions are both better than hers."...

In the manor.

When Lin Xia was practicing the "Slytherin Soul Tempering Method", he found that visualizing the flying giant python did not affect the practice of "The Secret Record of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang: The Crucible".

It may be because of the two systems, so they do not affect each other.

Lin Xia simply practiced both methods together.

Practicing archery during the day and cultivating at night, Lin Xia's daily life in the manor became extremely regular again.

When she spent the third day in such peace, during the day, the compass of fate in her mind suddenly started to turn and stopped at the "Fuqi" column.

"Fuqi" is the category that Lin Xia draws most often, and she can often get a lot of information from it.

Many scenes suddenly appeared in her mind.

Lin Xia frowned slightly, "These clips..."

It was nothing else but clips of himself practicing archery in the manor during the day!

Why does the destiny compass give such a hint?
It was not until the last fragment of the picture flashed out that Lin Xia understood the reminder of the destiny compass.

——Annie was hiding around the manor, secretly watching her!
In the last clip, Anil was leaning against a tree, staring ahead.

Lin Xia had taken care of this tree when she returned to the manor on the first day of the holiday!
Lin Xia frowned, Annie's obsession with "Castle in the Sky" was too deep.

Perhaps considering that Malfoy Manor was not far from her home, Annie just observed quietly and did not take action immediately.
