Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 321 The third school year begins!
Draco talked to Lin Xia about many things, and Lin Xia also told him some of her experiences in Romania.

When Draco heard that Lin Xia had been associating with many fire dragons, he was extremely envious.

That's a fire dragon!

Dragon!

Which wizard doesn't want to ride on the back of a dragon and soar into the sky?

Lin Xia can not only ride on a fire dragon, but also watch the fire dragons being trained and feed them, which is something that ordinary wizards cannot access.

Speaking of this, Draco thought of something and said, "In the middle of the summer vacation, my father asked me if I was in Romania. I said yes and asked him what was wrong.

My father said that a goblin claimed to be Gringotts's expatriate in Romania, and had hunted a beautiful dragon there, and sincerely invited my father to bid for it. "

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "Did Uncle Lucius go?"

Draco shook his head: "Our family does not do anything illegal. Hunting dragons and secretly raising dragons are both illegal, although the nobles don't mind raising a dragon.

But the purpose of raising a dragon is to show off. If you raise it secretly, what’s the difference between that and not raising it at all?
Moreover, raising a fire dragon requires a lot of resources. If these resources were used on human wizards, perhaps a high-level wizard could be trained."

Lin Xia looked at Draco in surprise and said, "I think you did very well in the heir course this time."

Draco looked over in confusion.

Lin Xia: "You never thought about these things before. You preferred to go with the flow and do whatever your parents taught you to do. But now you have a different perspective and are more thoughtful."

Draco sighed: "After all, I am my father's only son. The Malfoy family will be handed over to me in the future."

He changed the subject, his eyes sparkling: "But Lin Xia, even though I studied the heir course, I never regretted my choice."

Lin Xia looked over curiously.

Draco said in a strong voice: "I don't regret choosing Hufflepuff."

……

Early the next morning, they set out for King's Station on the magic flying car.

Aunt Narcissa has now adapted well to Muggle cars and finds them quite convenient, at least more convenient than riding a broomstick.

It's her aesthetic...

The surface of the magic car modified by Malfoy was covered with a lot of mithril, gems and gold, which made Lin Xia doubt whether these things would fall off under the influence of the hurricane.

It would not be good if it hits someone accidentally.

Fortunately, the magic car produced by the Malfoy family is of high quality and nothing has fallen off.

The shiny car landed on the Muggle ground and, after revealing its shape, attracted the attention of many Muggles around.

Narcissa frowned and was about to say that these Muggles were so ignorant and kept staring at her car.

Then I heard the Muggles talking about -

“This must be a special edition car, it’s so beautifully made!”

"The gemstones on it are sparkling. What kind of gemstones are they made of? They are so beautiful. The owner of this gemstone must have very good taste!"

"Can you take a picture of it? I also want to buy a car like this, even if it's just in my dreams."

……

These discussions greatly satisfied Aunt Narcissa's vanity.

She got out of the car with her head held high, holding her son in one hand and Lin Xia in the other, like a proud queen walking on the red carpet.

Lin Xia had a tense face, expressionless.

Draco's expression was calm. From childhood to adulthood, wizards have always been amazed by the wealth of the Malfoy family.

I just think that these Muggles are quite knowledgeable.

Finally, they made their way through the crowd...

Of course, it wasn't actually very crowded, because when the crowd saw Narcissa's expensive fur, they automatically made way for her, fearing that they would touch the delicate fur.

It is an absolute disaster when the fur owner asks for cleaning fees.

Aunt Narcissa intimidated all the villains with her unique aura.

She lowered her head, kissed Drake's forehead, and repeatedly reminded him, "Study hard, and ask Lin Xia if you don't understand anything. She can give you better advice.

If you encounter danger, return home from school immediately. We cannot allow ourselves to be in a dangerous environment.

Similar to the locked room incident last semester, you absolutely, absolutely cannot hide it from me. If I find out that something big has happened in school again and you didn't tell me...

Trust me, Draco, you don't want to see me lose my temper!"

Draco nodded solemnly.

Narcissa turned to look at Lin Xia and hugged her in her arms.

"Child, you have always had your own ideas. I won't make any demands on you. I just need you to be careful and protect yourself.

If you encounter any difficulties in the experiment, the Malfoy family will always open their doors to you."

What this means is that the Malfoy family also wants to assist her with some of her experiments and get a piece of the pie.

In fact, this sentence should have been said in the first grade, after Lin Xia invented the magnetic wand.

After all, the Malfoy family and her family are allies, so it is only natural for her to give the development rights of her inventions to the Malfoy family.

But it is more convenient for Lin Xia to develop together with Hogwarts, and she can also get some protection from it.

The Malfoy family is very powerful and has a strong influence in the wizarding world, but ultimately it cannot replace Hogwarts.

Lin Xia said tactfully: "Aunt Narcissa, I am a student. My main job is to teach in school. Invention is just a side job. I usually leave it to the school to handle."

She made a promise.

Even if she didn't cooperate with the Malfoy family, she wouldn't cooperate with other wizarding families, but would give it directly to Hogwarts.

Narcissa winked at her and smiled: "I don't understand business matters, these are all words that Draco's father asked me to say, the choice is yours.

My child, no matter what your choice is, it will not affect the friendship between your family and my family."

Lin Xia also smiled.

The train was still some time away from leaving, but Aunt Narcissa didn't want to wait any longer, so she let them get on first.

She dressed beautifully today and was rushing to attend the party.

Today is the first day of school. What can these little sisters talk about when they get together? They can only talk about their children.

She was worried that she had no place to tell others how "mediocre" Draco was.

After getting on the train, Lin Xia and Draco quickly found an empty compartment and sat down.

Lin Xia turned her head and looked out the window. There was no trace of Aunt Narcissa. She said, "Aunt looks in a good mood today."

Draco shrugged, "As much as I hate to say it, she was probably trying to show off my 'mediocre' performance at Hogwarts."

Lin Xia's eyes flashed with interest: "Would nobles do the same?"

Draco smiled and said, "Lin Xia, a noble is just an ordinary wizard."

"Knock, knock!" The salesperson knocked on the door of their box. "Little wizard, do you need some snacks?"

Lin Xia waved her wand and opened the door of the box. The salesperson came in with a cart and introduced the products incessantly:

“Recently, we launched a new batch of snacks, the Magic Chocolate Frog with Glittering Gold, which has edible gold powder added to it, and the cards also have gold cards added to them.

Seriously remind you, the gold card is made entirely of gold Galleons, it is a special edition, one card can be exchanged for 10 gold Galleons at the official website!"

Draco asked curiously, "So how do you sell it?"

The salesman said quickly, "One gold Galleon for one shiny gold chocolate frog. No bargaining!"

Drake said without hesitation: "Give me ten!"

Lin Xia was not interested in chocolate frogs or strange-flavored chocolate beans, but she did find that there were many new products on the cart this time.

There are also chocolate magic books that automatically flip, screaming lollipops that automatically rotate and scream when you take a bite, and pumpkin lantern candies that glow and light up when you eat them...

I have to say, the little wizard's hobbies are grasped very well.

Even Chinese snacks have a lot of new products. The best-selling Lao Gan Ma has launched several new products, including spicy shredded pork, spicy shredded pork, spicy shredded pork with black bean sauce, and spicy shredded beef with black bean sauce...

Lin Xia actually discovered Mapo Tofu!

But after her careful observation, she realized that this was not spicy tofu, but fermented tofu, which tastes best with white porridge. If she got it confused, she would get a bad review!

Of course, Lin Xia’s favorite are those spicy strips, various small spicy strips made from noodles, and fish spicy strips…

Lin Xia thought that the letter of advice she had written to the train was still useful. They really had collected a lot of delicious food from China.

So Lin Xia also showed a strong enthusiasm for buying.

By the time the salesperson pushed the cart out, the space specially reserved for displaying Chinese snacks had become empty.

Some little wizards shouted to the salesperson to stop because they wanted to buy something, but the salesperson didn't stop because she was eager to get some snacks first!

“Is there any room left?”

"Is there anyone inside?"

“Is there any room left?”

Suddenly, a clear voice was heard. Lin Xia recognized it as Hermione's voice. Draco, who was sitting opposite her, immediately sat up straight and straightened his sleeves.

Lin Xia watched this scene with amusement and couldn't help but smile.

"Knock, knock!" The knock on the door finally reached their box. "Are there any seats available?"

Lin Xia waved her wand and said, "Yes."

Hermione looked at Lin Xia in surprise and immediately ran in and hugged her, "Nice to meet you, Lin Xia, I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time, I missed you so much!"

Lin Xia asked: "Do you only think about me and not Draco, Harry and Ron?"

Hermione turned to look at Draco, and suddenly thought of something. She took out the suitcase from the traceless retractable ring, rummaged around, and handed Draco a black box.

"This is something I found in France. It's a colorful stone. It's perfect for pressing things or making a bookmark. I wish you a happy holiday."

Draco was very surprised and took it in a panic.

"me……"

He didn't prepare a gift for Hermione, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Lin Xia said:

"Draco, you bought so many shiny gold chocolate frogs, aren't you going to share them with your friends?"

Draco came back to his senses and nodded desperately: "Yes, yes, I bought some shiny gold chocolate frogs. It is said that there are gold cards inside. If you win, you can exchange them for 10 gold galleons!"

Hermione took it curiously. The chocolate frog was quite golden.

While they were chatting, little wizards passed by one after another outside, and some of them were discussing recent news.

"Why can't Azkaban keep anyone?"

"I also heard that Sirius Black escaped. I am very worried about this. What if he comes to school to kill people? We little wizards will definitely not be able to resist him."

"There's still the professor. It won't be that bad."

"Who knows what this murderer who killed 13 people was thinking? Maybe he wanted to take revenge on the wizarding world and specifically targeted the weak?"

The destiny compass in Lin Xia's mind suddenly started to turn at this moment, triggering the "Fuqi" column, and fragments of pictures flashed by.

He was a thin man with a very haggard face. His eyes were bloodshot and his eye sockets were dark blue, as if he had not slept for a long time.

A skinny dog ​​was lying outside the door of Hogwarts, staring at every little wizard passing by.

The dog gradually turned into a haggard-looking man.

The dog was chasing a mouse madly.

The scene flashed by, and in just a moment, Lin Xia came back to his senses.

She kept recalling those images in her mind, but her focus was on the last one, the mouse.

This mouse looks so familiar!

Hermione, who was standing beside them, also heard the discussion of the wizards outside. She immediately opened her suitcase and rummaged through it, pulling out a copy of the Daily Prophet.

She said seriously, "Sirius Black is that person."

Lin Xia looked down and saw that the person in the black and white photo was exactly the same man who had flashed through her mind.

He was a very haggard man with long, messy hair. Lin Xia felt vaguely that he looked familiar, a bit like...

"Aunt Narcissa?" Lin Xia exclaimed softly. The two of them looked a bit similar.

Draco looked a little serious, as if he had thought of something.

Hermione couldn't help asking, "Have you seen this person?"

Lin Xia shook her head. Draco was silent for a while and said, "My mother and Sirius Black are cousins. They lived together in Black Manor when they were young."

Hermione said "Oh", and her good etiquette prevented her from making any unwarranted speculations.

But if Ron were here, it might be hard to say.

Lin Xia looked at the newspaper.

Blake is still at large

Sirius Black, arguably the most evil prisoner ever held in Azkaban prison, remains at large, the Ministry of Magic has confirmed today.

……

Minister of Magic Dumbledore said: "Black will be arrested as soon as possible!"

……

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment, but fortunately, not long after, they heard the Weasley family's voices in the box.

"Percy, you've polished your chairman's badge so many times, could you please stop looking at it? You almost stepped on my foot several times!"

George said so.

Fred immediately followed up: "Percy is eager to exercise his power as chairman, but the prefects of each house will be more effective in maintaining order."

Ron yelled, "Let's find an empty box first. I can hardly carry my luggage!"
