Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

After listening to Ali's report, there was silence.

Originally, the professor thought that the danger level of "Flash Fireworks Exploding Candy" was C-level, so he let Lin Xia clean it up and get the greatest benefit.

But now that the level is set at B, some professors can't help but hesitate.

Is it a bit too much to ask a student to clean up Class B pollutants?

Snape and Eli sensed an unusual atmosphere. Snape did not speak, but Eli asked:
"Why, are you having trouble cleaning up the pollutants?"

He had a cold and hard attitude, with the iron-blooded and ruthless attitude of an Auror, and said decisively: "If Hogwarts is not convenient to take action, the Ministry of Magic is willing to serve you."

McGonagall immediately said, "There is no need for the Ministry of Magic to help. Hogwarts can handle this matter. We will start cleaning up the pollutants later, and you can witness it from the side."

After finishing speaking, McGonagall looked at the other professors and said calmly, "Let's proceed according to our previous discussion. Lin Xia has a special physique. Neither C-level nor B-level will have any effect on her. It's most appropriate for her to do the cleaning."

Logically speaking, Lin Xia belongs to Hufflepuff, and it is most common for the head of Hufflepuff, Sprout, to fight for her interests.

But as it happened, Split went to the Magic Forest to collect raw materials over the weekend, so he was not there.

But Lin Xia was also an excellent student of Magg, and had received individual tutoring in Transfiguration from Magg for a period of time.

Even now, Lin Xia would ask Mag questions from time to time.

The relationship between the two is no longer something that can be explained by ordinary teachers and students, but rather a much closer relationship.

It is similar to what China calls master and apprentice, but different from master and apprentice.

Seeing McGonagall's attitude, the other professors nodded in agreement.

Even Class B pollutants can only bring limited benefits to them.

All they needed was a professor to come forward and guarantee that there would be no problems with Lin Xia's cleanup.

If something goes wrong, the guarantor will be fully responsible.

Since McGucken vouched for Lin Xia, there would be no problem with other professors.

Hallwarts's group sprang into action, while the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic watched from the sidelines.

This is an internal matter of Hogwarts and they will not interfere.

However, Ali saw it and raised his opinion of Lin Xia by one level.

It seems that she is not only very talented in research, but also has a good talent in combat.

Otherwise, those savvy professors would never let a student take charge of such an important task as cleaning up Class B pollutants.

Ali glanced at Snape and decided to wait until this matter was over before quietly asking him about Lin Xia's level in Hogwarts.
-
While the Hogwarts group was preparing to clean up the contamination, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville had already arrived at the Shrieking Shack.

This is a very dilapidated house. It looks old and rotten from the outside. There is dense moss under the house, covering the house.

It looks okay during the day, but it is very eerie and strange at night.

The Shrieking Shack is called the "Screaming Shack" because nearby residents can always hear screams coming from the house from time to time.

Over time, the reputation of the "Screaming Shack" spread.

Harry had heard many wizards mention the Shrieking Shack, a rare house of horrors in Hogsmeade and a major adventure site for many wizards.

It was the first time he saw the house and he was very curious about it. He walked around the house and then tried to sneak into the house.

Neville was also very curious. He fumbled around outside the house and asked nervously, "Why doesn't it scream? Isn't it said that there are screams here all year round?"

Ron shrugged. "I've been to Hogsmeade a few times, and I've come to the Shrieking Shack every time, but I haven't heard any screams. Maybe it only happens at night?
By the way, Neville, this is not your first time in Hogsmeade, why are you as curious as Harry?"

Harry bent down and stroked the moss outside the house, and Neville followed suit.

Looking at the postures of the two of them, it seems that they even want to collect the moss and take it back for observation.

Neville whispered, "Every time I come to Hogsmeade, I'm always in a hurry to follow Mick to find a book. He leaves immediately after he finishes looking for it, and I have to follow him. That's why I haven't been to the Shrieking Shack yet."

Ron imagined the scene and couldn't help but feel sad for him.

"It's unfortunate that you met such a partner. Fortunately, Mikkel is not like Hermione. Hermione is at least more humane."

Hermione immediately shouted, "Ron, I'm still here, don't say bad things about me in front of me!"

Ron immediately retorted: "I didn't say anything bad about you, on the contrary I praised you as being better than Mikel."

Hermione sneered: "Oh, should I thank you? Don't compare me with Mikkel, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Ron stopped talking immediately. He turned to look at Draco and winked at him, as if asking: How did I offend her again?
Draco smiled gracefully and said nothing.

After separating from Lin Xia, Hermione was originally going to go to the bookstore, but Draco invited her to come and play with Harry.

Hermione thought about it and felt that it was more important to accompany her friends, as she could read books anytime.

And after they finished playing, she wanted them to go to the bookstore with her to find books, as it was too inefficient for them to look for books alone.

If you buy too much, you have to ask them to move it back together.

At that time, Hermione had completely forgotten about the Invisible Retractable Ring.

She was used to having her schoolbags carried by her friends, so she didn't carry many books herself. Harry and Ron helped her carry them.

The door to the Shrieking Shack was locked with a padlock. Harry shouted at the lock, "Open it!"

This is a standard unlocking spell that can basically unlock ordinary locks.

But it had no effect at all against this lock.

Harry said, "This lock must be magically enhanced. Ordinary unlocking spells won't work on it."

Ron added: "Hermione, Draco, Lin Xia and I have all cast unlocking spells on this lock, but to no avail.

Harry, let's not go in and waste our time."

Harry also wanted to leave, but just when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard a voice calling him again.

Harry suddenly raised his head and stared at the interior of the Shrieking Shack with a confused look on his face.

He stood there motionless. The other friends had already walked a few steps away. Turning their heads, they saw Harry suddenly stop and couldn't help but say, "Harry, hurry up!"

Harry shook his head, "No, wait! I think I found something!"

The other friends also stopped and walked to Harry and looked around.

Soon, Harry seemed to have confirmed something and began to walk around the Shrieking Shack.

Finally, he stopped at a place.

Looking up, he arrived at the back door of the Shrieking Shack.

It is more like the back of the main door than a back door. Behind it is a smooth wall with no door lock. There is only a door and lock at the main door.

But there was a small window above the second floor of the back door.

The window was opaque and looked as if it were covered with a green shadow, whether during the day or at night.

But Harry was absolutely sure that the voice calling him came from this window.

When he walked here, the sound he heard was the loudest and clearest.

"Come here, come here quickly and give me everything you have... You are the best substitute I have found..." Harry suddenly felt a pain in his head. He covered his forehead with a Z-shaped scar with his hand, and his face turned pale.

"Harry, Harry, what happened to you?" He staggered and fell down, and was immediately supported by Ron and Hermione.

Harry felt the world begin to spin, there was a long echo in his mind, and his perspective changed. What he saw was not the real scene, but another strange place.

He seemed to transform into some kind of object, and then heard several people arguing out of his field of vision.

"Did you do it?"

"No! I swear on my life, I didn't leak it! It wasn't me! It was definitely not me!"

The roar was sharp and broken, full of pain.

hiss--

Harry held his forehead and gasped.

The sharp roar almost made his head explode!

"Harry, Harry!"

The voices of Hermione and Ron calling out to him kept ringing in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, the voice gradually became clearer and Harry suddenly opened his eyes.

He finally walked out of the blurry and distorted scene, straightened his body again, and touched his hair.

In a short time, he was sweating all over and his back was wet.

"Harry, are you okay?" Ron looked at him worriedly.

Harry shook his head, and his mind gradually became clear. Perhaps it was because the scene changes happened more and more frequently, and he had already gotten used to it.

Harry stared at the window and said confidently, "I heard another call. The voice came from that window."

Hermione frowned slightly, "You mean to say that there is something in the Shrieking Shack calling you?"

Harry looked confused. "I'm not sure if it's calling me. The conversation is blurry. It seems like someone else is talking. It seems like they are talking to me... Anyway, I can hear the sound from it."

He looked at the others, "Didn't you hear anything just now?"

The others all looked confused, looked at each other and shook their heads.

Just now, only Harry had a strange expression and almost fainted. Apart from this, they didn't hear anything else.

This was the first time Draco saw such a thing happen to Harry. He thought that it was no wonder that Harry looked so ordinary and was not as good as Hermione. However, Lin Xia attached great importance to him, much more than Hermione.

Lin Xia often asks Harry about his intuition.

Now it seems that Harry is very mysterious, as if something unexpected always happens around him.

Ron asked, "So what do we do now?"

"I'm going in," Harry said.

He looked determined, "It's calling me, I must go in and take a look.

This is not a common call. I heard the call from the flash fireworks and exploding candy before, so I discovered the pollutant.

I have a feeling there's something like glitter fireworks and exploding candy in the Shrieking Shack."

Draco said quickly: "Then we should not have gone in. Lin Xia was there at the time. She was completely resistant to the evil god's whispers, so she was the first to react and wake up.

But now without her, we may not be able to resist the evil god's whispers if we rely on ourselves. If we are all trapped, who will save us?"

Ron said, "How about we leave a message for Lin Xia in advance so that she can rescue us when she comes looking for us?"

Hermione: "Your idea is even more dangerous. If we go in, it will be dangerous. Why don't we wait until it is safer before going in?"

Draco agreed and echoed: "Yes, if we really encounter pollutants, our current strength is too weak, and we can only rely on magical objects to resist.

But this kind of rare item is not available to young wizards, and even adult wizards find it difficult to obtain it."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads in unison to look at Draco.

Draco had a bad feeling in his heart and took a small step back.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Harry smiled and said, "Draco, you are the heir of the Malfoy family. You must have something magical that can resist contaminants."

Ron also said: "You have such a clear knowledge in this area, you must have some response."

Hermione said: "You reminded me of something. Isn't the glow candle that Lin Xia taught us to make able to resist the evil god's whispers?

I made a few and wanted to give them to Lin Xia, but I haven't given them to her yet. They can be used now."

Draco's eyelids twitched.

Good man, the idea has been set on him!
Does he have any magical item that can resist pollutants?
Of course there is, because no one can be missing but the heir of the Malfoy family!
His parents attached great importance to his comfort and gave him no fewer than 10 rare items.

It’s just that Hogwarts is usually very safe, and except for the ring on his hand, all other rare items were kept in the traceless retractable ring.

Neville looked terrified, he felt they were discussing something very crazy and he couldn't understand a word they were saying.

Instinct made him retreat, but reality did not allow him to retreat.

Neville stammered, "If...if the Shrieking Shack is in danger, we should tell the professor immediately instead of dealing with him ourselves. I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by Hermione's knife.

Harry and Ron looked at her and their mouths twitched slightly. They felt that Hermione was becoming more and more violent.

Hermione cast an armor protection charm on Neville, and the group dragged him to the wide lawn.

She turned to look at Ron and Harry, and took out six glow candles from the ring, two for each, not counting Draco's.

They all looked at Draco, who shrugged helplessly and took out an item from his ring.

It was a palm-sized box with exquisite patterns, and looked a bit like a music box.

“This box has the function of automatically resisting the evil god’s whispers. When I encounter danger, it will automatically turn on and play music to protect me from the interference of the evil god’s whispers. It can be regarded as a range-type wonder.

You all must stay close to me, and together we can resist the evil god's whispers. Remember, you must stay close to me!
If you are too far away from me, the radiation range of this strange object will not be able to protect you, and you will be affected. You don't want to fall, right?"

The others nodded immediately, saying that they would definitely follow Draco closely.

But Draco still felt that they were being too frivolous and should wait for Lin Xia to come and make full preparations before going on the adventure.

The "Flash Fireworks Exploding Candy" they discovered earlier was so dangerous, they were all tricked!

If Lin Xia hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have come to his senses until now.

There was only one Hufflepuff and three Gryffindors... he couldn't do anything to help her. Even if he was asked to withdraw calmly and rationally, Draco couldn't do it.

Alas, I have no choice but to board this pirate ship of the trio!
