Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Saturday soon came.

At six o'clock in the morning, Harry and Ron were sent several letters by an excited Hermione, urging them to get up.

Since six o'clock, the "doo-doo" sound of birds tapping on their windows has not stopped.

This caused not only Harry and Ron to get up, but Mikel and Neville who were in the same dormitory were also forced to get up together.

Harry and Ron were deeply sorry.

Neville grabbed his hair and said, "No, we have to tidy it up as soon as possible. Mikel and I have both been selected to attend the press conference of the Ministry of Magic."

Ron's eyes widened: "I thought the selection of professors would be stricter, but I didn't expect you to be invited to participate... I'm sorry, Neville, I'm not calling you stupid."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Neville's mouth, "Ron, you might as well not say anything."

Mikel said: "The professor scared us, saying that there is a quota limit, but in fact there is not. Anyone who is interested can sign up, and basically everyone will pass."

There was another little bird holding a letter in its mouth and tapping on the window.

Harry immediately opened the window, and all the birds waiting outside swarmed in and threw all the envelopes on top of Harry and Ron's heads.

The two of them were still a little sleepy at first, but they were attacked one after another by envelopes, which knocked them awake.

Harry opened one of the letters and said, "Ron, we need to move quickly, Hermione said she is already waiting for us in the common room."

Ron rushed into the bathroom, "Okay, I'm doing a hair style. Hey, Harry, where is my No. 3 shampoo?"

Neville: "You mean that little black bottle? I put it in the second storage cabinet."

Ron quickly opened the storage cabinet, saw only a hint of black, and picked it up to use.

He didn't notice that he was taking the bottle from the first storage cabinet.

Hermione waited in the common room.

She sat and waited, a flash of anger flashing across her face, her feet tapping from time to time, already a little impatient.

Hermione lowered her head and looked at her watch, "It's been half an hour, why haven't you come yet? If you keep going like this, you won't be able to catch the magic train!"

She originally planned to go with Lin Xia and Draco, but Draco, as Lin Xia's assistant, had to arrive at the Ministry of Magic one day in advance.

So they left last night.

Hermione didn't have the right to sleep out, and she also took over the task of patrolling outstanding students, so she could only go with the crowd the next day.

"Hermione!"

Suddenly, Harry's voice came from behind.

Hermione turned around and was shocked!

"Ron, why is your hair like this? Do you want to scare Lin Xia?"

Ron was ashamed and covered his face with his hands. He obviously just wanted to make his hair softer.

I also specially bought shampoo and conditioner produced by the Porter family!

Unexpectedly, because he took the wrong bottle, he got the curling agent that Mikel specially used for perming.

As a result, Ron now wears an... afro that's comparable to Hermione's.

The little wizard passing by looked at him several times. Even if he just passed by, he would turn around to look at him. The rate of turning back was very high.

In comparison, Hermione was also dressed up carefully today.

She had to sit in the front row and would probably stand up to ask questions. Lin Xia gave her a bottle of hair smoothing conditioner.

So her hair today is long and straight, like smooth satin, and her front teeth are retracted, making her look very young and beautiful.

Nothing like the Hermione she used to be.

And Harry was worried about what dangers he would encounter when he went out this time, such as Sirius Black?

So he decided to wear a strange protective gadget to increase his confidence.

The three of them walked on the road together, and the rate of turning heads was even higher.

Some little wizards looked at them and walked forward, bumping into others with a bang.

What's more, while waiting outside the gate of Hogwarts, he ran over to them and asked:

"Ron, have you been soul-swapped by Hermione? How come you two have different hairstyles?"

Hermione frowned and said seriously: "Ron just has the same hairstyle as I usually have, but my current hairstyle doesn't look like Ron at all. I'm much straighter than him!"

The little wizard immediately ran back and said loudly to his companion:

"No, they didn't exchange souls. I'm pretty sure that Hermione is still Hermione, as strict as ever!"

The little wizards all wore Hogwarts' exclusive wizard robes, and many of them were selected from the lower grades to the upper grades.

There are still some people who didn't go. That's because they didn't sign up and wanted to stay in school, or they had something to do and couldn't go.

Harry glanced around and felt that the school had arranged for at least two to three thousand students to come there, and he didn't know if the Ministry of Magic could accommodate them.

"Dudu!"

The magic train blew out a plume of white smoke and appeared in front of the school. A track continued to extend as the train moved forward, opening its own path.

The little wizard, led by the professor, walked into the train in an orderly manner.

——Departure for the Ministry of Magic!

On the other side, Lin Xia was also making final preparations.

At seven o'clock, a large number of wizards had already arrived.

The venue was very empty at first, with few chairs arranged, and it seemed that it could only accommodate a few hundred spectators.

This made Lin Xia a little doubtful. Can Hogwarts really bring students in to listen to lectures? There are not enough seats for those research scholars, right?

Until she noticed that as the wizard approached, the number of chairs continued to increase, and then began to move, and the field seemed to extend outwards, getting bigger and bigger.

Lin Xia just realized that this magical venue will continue to increase seats as visitors arrive, and can also adjust seats for each wizard.

Even if some wizards deliberately sit in the first row of chairs, they will be automatically taken to the position they should go.

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows and watched this scene with interest. It was quite artificial intelligence.

Draco stood on the podium, handed Lin Xia some information, and whispered: "What else do you want?"

Lin Xia thought for a while and said: "A loudspeaker, I'm not sure if the people sitting in the back row can hear me."

"Don't worry about this. This venue has solidified the magic of "sound like a bell" at the podium, and everyone can hear it."

A wizard walked over vigorously. Lin Xia looked up and saw that the person who said this was Rufus Eli, the second in command of the Auror Department of the Ministry of Magic.

I heard that last weekend, the Auror Department discovered that there was a high-level weird breath staying in a village, and all the old people who stayed in the village died, so the director is leading a team to track down the high-level weird.

Otherwise, the paper conference would be guarded by the director of the Auror Department, and it would not be Ali's turn.

After all, many of the participants in the conference are well-known scholars from all over the world. They have many important research projects on hand, and each one they say can set off a wave of reforms.

Protecting the safety of well-known scholars is also the job of the Auror Department.

"Hello, Captain Ali." Lin Xia greeted him.

Ali said in a deep voice: "Hello, scholar Lin Xia, there is still half an hour before the conference. Is there anything you need?"

Lin Xia wanted to say no, but she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "I will use projection when I explain.

But I am still just a little wizard. I am afraid that the magic supply will be insufficient at that time. What if I interrupt halfway through the speech?"

Ali was stunned. He had never thought about this problem.

It was also because Lin Xia's "cold pills" and "voice protection" had such a great influence that people subconsciously ignored her age.

Yes, she is still just a teenager and still needs to be under the protection of the school.

Ali thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you three high-purity magic stones.

Holding the magic stone tightly can quickly draw out the magic power inside. You should know how to use it. Magic stones are also used in some advanced experiments."

Lin Xia nodded: "I know, but I rarely use it. I'm just a little wizard, and the conversion effect is not as high as that of an adult wizard. Six magic stones are needed."

Aili's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Lin Xia deeply: "Six won't work, it's beyond my authority to withdraw.

Magic stones are hard currency, and the entire wizarding world is in short supply. They are rare resources."

Lin Xia immediately changed his words: "Then five, and any less may not be enough to support the press conference."

Aili wanted to say something, but suddenly his eyes flickered, and he said to his mouth: "Forget it, I'll apply to the higher-ups to see if I can give you ten high-level magic stones."

"Ten?" Lin Xia's eyes showed a hint of interest.

Ali emphasized: "It's all for you to give a better speech!"

After the wizard left, Draco, who had been listening silently, suddenly walked to Lin Xia and silently cast an anti-eavesdropping spell.

He turned his back to the wizard in front of him, lowered his head to cover his mouth that kept talking.

"I feel that there is something wrong with that wizard. He didn't want to give six at first, but later changed his mind. Is he thinking of something else?"

Lin Xia looked around casually, but her mouth didn't move. Instead, she cast a spell silently and used a sound transmission spell to transmit what she wanted to say into Draco's mind.

"You are too cautious. Spread the eavesdropping spell. There are wizards watching us in secret."

Draco did it immediately.

Lin Xia pointed to the distance and said, "Help me move a table over here."

Draco: "Okay."

After he left, he heard Lin Xia's voice in his mind again: "There is something wrong with Ali. He obviously wants to use my hand to swallow these magic stones, otherwise he wouldn't give them so readily, and give more."

Draco was confused. This is the Ministry of Magic!

How can he swallow them?

It's impossible to plan an attack inside the Ministry of Magic!

When this idea came out, even Draco himself was stunned. It was too crazy!

Lin Xia's voice rang out in his mind again: "Stay alert and wait and see. Don't go on stage later. Stay with your parents.

By the way, when you see Hermione, tell her not to sit in the first row, and sit with the professor at the back.

You'd better stick to Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, and Snape. They are all senior wizards and can protect you if something really happens."

Draco nodded silently.

He didn't ask Lin Xia what to do.

She is the protagonist of this conference. With so many wizards staring at her, she will not be in danger.

Draco stood at the door and just happened to meet a group of Hogwarts students.

The students looked around excitedly and chattered.

"The Ministry of Magic is smaller than expected, not majestic at all."

"The telephone booth is so interesting, I want to make another call!"

"Can I go to the Auror's office? I want to see my idol up close. I want to be an excellent Auror in the future!"

Professor McGonagall's serious expression rarely showed a smile. She did not ask the little wizard to stay calm, nor did she stop them from talking.

Because every scholar who came was talking to each other happily.

Draco walked over and led them to the door. When passing Hermione, he whispered: "Don't sit down yet, I have something to tell you."

Hermione looked confused, "Huh?"

Draco said: "Hermione, you are going to the bathroom, right? I'll show you the way."

A few minutes later, Hermione and Draco reappeared, and their expressions were calm.

Hermione sat next to Harry, and Professor McGonagall was on her right.

As soon as she sat down, the chair did not move. Lin Xia had already helped Hermione adjust the seating order.

Ron was on Harry's left hand side. He caught a glimpse of Hermione from the corner of his eye and said in surprise: "Hermione, didn't you say you wanted to sit in the first row?"

Hermione said: "I suddenly don't want to sit in the first row. Haven't you noticed that the people sitting in the first row are all older, and I don't fit in with them."

Ron and Harry immediately accepted this reason.

"Indeed, it's very stressful to sit with these people."

"If you follow the professor and don't understand something, you can always ask the professor."

After the students of Hogwarts arrived, the number of guests gradually decreased.

Lin Xia stood on the stage and could feel everyone's complicated gazes on her, with curiosity, jealousy, envy, and malice...

She looked up at the magic clock suspended on the ceiling. In five minutes, the press conference would begin.

It was at this time that some old-looking wizards entered the stage, which made some nobles under the stage change their faces instantly.

"Why is the great inventor of Italy here? He is already 89 years old!"

"And the pioneer inventor of Britain, why is he here too? He is already 80 years old!"

"Those inventors from France, Norway, Egypt, and Africa are here. They have all made brilliant research in the wizarding world!"

There was a wizard sitting in the dark. Seeing this scene, his eyes were red and his hands were shaking with excitement.

In order to cover it up, she could only put her hands in her sleeves.

But not long after, she began to tremble all over. The wizard next to her saw it and patted her on the shoulder, asking with concern:

"Are you okay? You are shaking badly."

"Don't touch me!"

The witch quickly knocked the wizard's hand away, and her face flushed with excitement.

"I'm just too excited, I'm not sick!"

The wizard who was beaten said embarrassedly: "Okay, sorry, I understand your feelings, I'm also excited.

The two inventions of cold pills and sound protection can help many out-of-control wizards and reduce strange invasions. I will soon know their principles."

The wizard subconsciously stayed away from the witch.

He always felt that the witch's face was a little abnormal.

When the time was up, Lin Xia said: "Hello, welcome to--"

Before she finished speaking, the door that had just been closed was kicked from the outside, and the door was immediately kicked away and smashed into the venue, and the wizard next to her was injured.

The wizard turned his head and his pupils shrank. These people are...

A young wizard screamed: "Werewolves! How could dark creatures come in? They are werewolves. Where are the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic?!"

The order at the scene suddenly became chaotic due to this scream. (End of this chapter)
