Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 325 The business-minded twins
After Dumbledore announced the joining of the two teachers, there was nothing more to say and the students continued to eat.

Only Hagrid on the stage was nervous and didn't dare to look at the students below.

If Harry and the others had not helped him clear the charges against him in the Chamber of Secrets last semester, he would not have been able to enter Hogwarts so openly, let alone become a professor.

There was a glimmer in his eyes, and he was extremely grateful for his current life.

If someone dared to destroy his happiness at this moment, Hagrid thought, he would definitely take out his wand and bravely resist!
Everyone enjoyed the dinner very much. The younger wizards stayed in the banquet hall, while the older wizards left quickly after finishing their meal.

Lin Xia also left quickly.

But before leaving, she went to Hagrid to congratulate him.

Lin Xia temporarily used the art of transfiguration to transform a knife and fork into a bunch of fiery red flowers.

The bouquet of flowers is very large, and the color of the flowers is as dazzling as rubies. Right in front of the flowers, there is a mimic lion, roaring from time to time, and every hair is extremely delicate and vivid.

"Congratulations, Hagrid, you're going to be a great magical creatures teacher."

Hagrid could no longer hold back his tears.

The giant only looks tall, but he is actually very emotional. He is sensitive to everything around him and he values ​​his friends very much.

He took the flowers, his eyes sparkling: "Thank you, Lin Xia, this is the best gift I have ever received. I don't have much confidence that I can teach you well."

Lin Xia glanced at the professor sitting next to her.

Only Professor Lupin was still eating the food in big mouthfuls, like a starving ghost. The other professors had already left.

Lin Xia said, "Hagrid, you have to trust Dumbledore's judgment. You are the professor he selected. If he thinks you are qualified for this position, then you can do it.

Dumbledore always sees the bigger picture than everyone else, doesn't he?"

Hagrid nodded quickly and said proudly, "Yes, Dumbledore is the greatest wizard!"

Shortly after Lin Xia left, Harry, Ron and Hermione also came over and congratulated Hagrid.

Not only them, but all the people in Gryffindor had a very good impression of Hagrid and came over to congratulate him.

Hagrid was so excited that he couldn't speak, and he shed some more tears.

It was getting late and they had to return to the common room.

Percy took the magic elevator with the little wizards of different grades. He suddenly recalled the days when there were no elevators and couldn't help but sigh:

"Life is much more comfortable now. Before, we couldn't take the elevator and had to walk up the marble stairs, through corridors and up stairs.

If you are unlucky, the stairs may suddenly turn or break, but if you are lucky enough to meet a good frame, they will tell you how to get there.

Percy paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "But usually you don't get such good things. You can only see Peeves doing nothing!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

This may be another Peeves victim.

Finally, they came to the hidden entrance to Gryffindor Tower.

The Fat Lady changed her clothes and restyled her hair, looking dignified and elegant in the frame.

"Password." She said in an elegant tone.

Percy shouted, "The password is Lucky Star!"

Neville picked up a memory ball and repeated it over and over again to write down the password. He could never remember the password and he suspected there was something wrong with his memory.

Mikel on the side said: "It's okay, if you can't remember, just ask me."

Neville looked at him gratefully, then said, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to find you when I go in."

Mikel fell silent when he thought of Neville's unfortunate and miserable physique and the bug that he always forgot things at critical moments.

He reminded: "I think there is still a possibility that the memory ball will be lost. Why don't you buy a magic recorder that can be hung around your neck? It would be best if you buy a waterproof one so that you can take it with you when you take a shower."

Neville's eyes lit up: "What a good idea! Why didn't I think of this before!"

Harry listened to the conversation as he walked through the portrait hole and into the common room. The boys and girls went up different staircases.

After walking up rows of spiral staircases, they finally arrived at their familiar bedroom.

Looking at the circular dormitory with five four-poster beds, Harry looked around and suddenly felt a sense of security in his heart.

He finally got home.
-
Lin Xia also returned to the golden wooden house after a long absence.

She did her daily practice as usual, took out the blue pet egg from the traceless retractable ring and placed it in its previous position.

The white fairy and her little brother, the black cat, appeared and stretched to each other. The black and white cats did the same movement, which was somewhat funny.

Lin Xia didn’t have a black cat. Black cats have always been raised by Fairy Bai.

You have to deal with your own little brother yourself.

The white fairy jumped around in the room, sniffing here and there, patrolling every corner of the house like a king.

If it weren't for the fact that it was still a cat with only a sense of morality, it would have probably urinated on it to mark its territory.

Lin Xia took out the black life essence mixture and planned to apply it to the pet egg.

Suddenly, Fairy Bai shook the bell and jumped over with a "ding-ling, ding-ling" sound. She raised her head and stared straight at the mixture in Lin Xia's hand.

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows: "You seem to be very interested in these things, but I have to warn you, even just a little bit, your current body will not be able to bear it."

Fairy White turned around and looked at the pet egg.

Lin Xia: "You want to apply it?"

The White Fairy nodded, making a crisp "ding-ling, ding-ling" sound.

Lin Xia thought for a while and felt that Bai Xianzi was a mature cat and should help her owner share some of the chores.

So she passed the mixture over.

"This bottle is right there with you. Keep it safe. Observe the absorption effect of the pet egg every day. When all the mixture is absorbed, reapply it. Come back for more when you're done."

The white fairy wagged its tail slowly and meowed.

Lin Xia sat on the bed and looked at the time. She had cleaned up early today and had finished before twelve o'clock.

She used to work until one or two in the morning.

Because of her training, she has more energy than an ordinary little wizard.

Others need seven or eight hours of sleep, but Lin Xia only needs one or two hours.

Lin Xia is a hard-working person and likes to do research.

With such rest time, even a wizard with ordinary qualifications can become an elite, not to mention that Lin Xia’s qualifications are so outstanding.

Every genius has extraordinary talent, but Lin Xia believes that her current achievements are inseparable from her day and night efforts.

So she has never been proud or complacent.

The wizarding world is much more vast than one might imagine, and Lin Xia feels that she is still far away from achieving this.

Just before going to bed, she remembered something.

I forgot to chat with Tom!
Lin Xia turned over and continued to sleep leisurely.

Anyway, Tom has been locked up for so long, so he doesn't care about one or two days. ...

Early the next morning, Lin Xia ran around the castle.

I found that many more students ran on the first day, at least half more than at the end of last semester.

Everyone must have gone to bed very late last night, with light dark circles under their eyes, but they still woke up very energetic the next day.

This is the freshness brought by just starting school.

The students in her class have become accustomed to Lin Xia getting up and running every day, while some of the new students look at Lin Xia with admiration.

"Are all seniors so diligent and hardworking?"

The third-year wizard was very secretive and said, "Yes, from the first year to now, I have been jogging every morning, without missing a single day."

The freshman's eyes sparkled: "If we are like our senior, can we also become extremely powerful?"

The third-year wizard said simply: "Half and half."

The freshman thought about it and felt that the probability of half was very high, so he spontaneously went running to follow the footsteps of Lin Xia, the talented senior!

They didn't use their brains to think about the fact that the probability of becoming a genius or an ordinary person is 50-50.

The probability of becoming an ordinary person or a poor student is 50-50.

The probability of becoming a poor student or being kept after school is equally 50-50.

The so-called half and half is itself the biggest misleading statement.

The wizards who had already started their third year of study looked at the young wizard with a youthful face and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's great to be young!"

Just like they were back then.

I thought that if I could emulate Lin Xia in everything, I could catch up with her.

However, in fact, the gap between people is even greater than that between people and dogs.

After running, Lin Xia came to the auditorium.

A house-elf in a suit came to greet her, pushed a cart to her, poured her a cup of delicious milk tea, and then told her the menu for today.

“Cantonese dim sum: xiao long bao, steamed pork ribs, braised chicken feet, crystal shrimp dumplings…

Soup noodles: barbecued pork soup noodles, cured meat soup noodles, egg and ham soup noodles...

Noodles: braised beef noodles, sauerkraut pork intestine noodles, tomato beef brisket noodles..."

Lin Xia listened patiently as it read out the menu and said, "Bring me all the dim sum. We're having dim sum today."

The house elf nodded, "As you wish, Witch Linxia."

The new little wizard stared at the scene in amazement.

How come Lin Xia...

How come Senior Sister Lin Xia is so awesome!

The Weasley twins suddenly appeared among the first years, with friendly and sunny smiles on their faces.

George: "Want to know Lin Xia's life at Hogwarts?"

Fred: "I don't want a hundred gold Galleons, nor fifty gold Galleons. I only want ten gold Galleons!"

George: "You will get a booklet about Lin Xia, which contains all the inventions Lin Xia published at Hogwarts, newspaper news, interviews with Lin Xia, her grades in each subject, and her daily information at Hogwarts..."

The little wizard's eyes lit up and his blood boiled!
"Give me one!"

Ron looked over and saw that it was Slytherin's new student this year.

The freshman was very proud and took out 10 gold galleons and got a copy of Lin Xia's information.

As he returned to the Slytherin table, he said:
"My family is aristocratic, and I have always received aristocratic elite education at home. It was because of Lin Xia that I came to Hogwarts to study.

My father said that Lin Xia is very outstanding, and even the nobles cannot cultivate her. He asked me to study hard with Lin Xia in Hogwarts!

If Slytherin didn't have more pure-blood nobles and was not the first choice for nobles, I would definitely choose Hufflepuff!"

Ron whispered to Harry in surprise, "This is too much, are they all here for Lin Xia?"

Harry: "I think this was to be expected yesterday when the little wizards refused to use the Sorting Hat and were determined to choose Hufflepuff."

The reason why Ron was so surprised was that except for the Slytherin students, the freshmen from other colleges were willing to spend ten gold Galleons to buy Lin Xia's information!
This made Ron feel that this world was too crazy. That was 10 gold Galleons!
Ron couldn't help but go to Lin Xia and asked, "Have you authorized my brother?"

Lin Xia shook her head.

She hadn't expected the Weasley twins to do this, but she had to admit that they were quite financially savvy.

Hermione said, "Don't worry. Brother George and Brother Fred know their limits. They may send Lin Xia a sum of gold Galleons soon. They are trying to do business with Lin Xia and sell her information."

Hermione guessed correctly.

Before the first class started, the twins came over and gave her a hundred gold Galleons.

George said excitedly: "The new students are extremely curious about you, your information will still be sold for a while!"

Fred: "Lin Xia, you are definitely the most popular wizard in Hogwarts. Even the professor is not as famous as you!"

George looked at her with burning eyes: "If you are willing to cooperate with us and hold a few lectures."

Fred added: “This is definitely the lecture that freshmen want to attend the most, even if they have to pay!”

George: “The price—”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Xia.

"George, Fred, I'm glad you recognize my influence, but I have several projects to deal with this semester and don't have much time for small talk."

She changed the subject and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a paper about me this month. No, it should be two papers. Then I may have to hold a press conference in Hogwarts again."

George and Fred's eyes flashed slightly.

Although Lin Xia did not cooperate with them, she also revealed an important piece of news.

If it works well, you can make some money!

George and Fred said in unison: "Lin Xia, I wish you good luck with your research!"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "I wish you good luck with your studies, and don't get caught by the professor for night outings again."

After the twins left, Ron spoke first: "Lin Xia, this is unfair to you. I saw that they sold at least several hundred copies."

Hermione glared at him. "It's great to be able to give so much. It's better than nothing."

Ron: "But...but..."

Hermione: "No buts, you are still in Lin Xia's laboratory, you know Lin Xia better, it's just some basic information, you can also organize it and sell it to freshmen, but why didn't you think of it?"

Ron blushed at what Hermione said.

Hermione: "There are some things that not everyone can do."
