Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Lin Xia didn't think Mikel would encounter any danger.

After all, Mikel is not an ordinary little wizard. He has a system that she cannot see.

Every step he took at Hogwarts had a purpose.

Lin Xia suspected that when Mikel went after Kreacher, he might be able to benefit from the house elf through the guidance of the system.

Looking deeper, maybe the encounter between Mikel and Kreacher was also conducted under the guidance of the system.

Compared to Lin Xia's calmness, Neville looked a little frightened, and his legs were shaking as he walked.

He followed Lin Xia a few steps forward, then suddenly reacted and grabbed Lin Xia tightly.

"No, we can't go find him. We have to tell the professor about this. Something must have happened to Mikel!"

Lin Xia asked calmly: "Neville, what evidence do you have?"

She thought that since Mikel decided to go after Kreacher, he must be fully prepared, and she happened to also want to know what medicine Mikel sold in his gourd.

If Neville told the professor, everything that happened next might be stopped, and she wouldn't be able to see the good show.

Lin Xia selfishly did not want professors to be involved.

If it's only circulated within the scope of young wizards, that's fine.

But Neville was much bolder this semester. When Lin Xia asked him this question, his eyes flickered, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Memory crystal ball! My memory ball records the appearance of the house elf. After reporting it to the professor, the professor will find out!"

Lin Xia glanced at Neville.

This was the first time Neville had made his request so clear in front of her.

She thought for a while and felt that it was more important to encourage Neville to become more courageous and own himself than to explore what Mikel wanted to do.

So Lin Xia said: "Okay, I will take you to find Professor McGonagall."

The search for Professor McGonagall went smoothly.

When the two came to the entrance of the village, they saw Professor McGonagall standing there upright.

She did not look inside the village, but turned around and looked outside the village in the distance.

Lin Xia followed her gaze and saw only a large range of mountains with verdant peaks. The combination of these mountains made the surrounding area appear extremely vast.

After watching it for a long time, my whole mind becomes broader and my thoughts become peaceful.

"Professor!" Neville walked up behind her and spoke proactively.

Professor McGonagall turned around, glanced at Neville first, and then glanced at Lin Xia questioningly.

Lin Xia nodded slightly towards her with a solemn expression.

Mag's expression quickly turned serious.

She knew that Lin Xia would not come to her if she had not encountered unsolvable difficulties.

She is very confident in the abilities of the students she teaches.

Not to mention other magic spells, Lin Xia has already surpassed many senior wizards by a long way with his accomplishments in transformation.

The transformation spell is widely used in many aspects and can basically solve most problems.

"Neville, don't worry, sort out what you want to say one by one. This is Hogsmeade. Hogwarts has taken many defensive measures, so nothing big will happen."

Lin Xia was always several steps behind Neville, obviously wanting Neville to answer.

McGonagall set her sights on Neville and said softly.

Neville took a few deep breaths, as if inspired, and quickly told the cause and course of the incident, as well as the news they discovered.

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall's expression did not change much, but said:

"I will go searching with you, and I will pass this news to other professors, and they will search together.

You don't have to worry, as long as they are still in Hogsmeade, they will never escape and nothing dangerous will happen. "

Professor McGonagall's affirmative tone made Neville feel less panicked.

As he walked, he told Professor McGonagall what he had discovered.

Lin Xia silently fell behind as they walked quickly. Without Neville noticing, she turned around and walked to another place.

Mag was aware of it, and turned his head slightly to glance at Lin Xia's whereabouts, then turned back and ignored it.

She believed in Lin Xia's strength and could solve most problems by exploring alone.

When looking for someone, of course the more people spread out to search, the greater the chance of finding them.

-

"Mikel, Mikel... where are you?"

"Mikel, Gryffindor, please answer my voice if you hear it!"

"Have you seen Mikel, his roommate in the same dormitory as Harry?"

On the other side, Ron and Hermione were actively looking for Mikel.

Hogsmeade, which was not a big village in their eyes, suddenly became complicated.

Every time they went to a place, they had to ask the little wizards wandering around, but the little wizards all shook their heads in unison, saying that they had not seen Mikel.

The only good thing is that when the little wizards heard that Mikel was missing, they all said they would tell him and join the search together.

After searching around a lot, Ron sat down on a row of chairs a little tired and took a short rest.

Hermione sat next to him, silent, thinking of a way.

Ron raised his head and glanced around. The street they were on was a central street with many shops on both sides.

The shop was very crowded, with many little wizards coming in and out.

Because the place is not big, it seems crowded with people.

Not to mention recognizing Mikel among so many little wizards, just staring at the faces of some little wizards felt like he was suffering from prosopagnosia.

Ron said irritably: "No, we have to find a way. If we continue like this, we won't be able to find it."

Hermione: "But even Neville doesn't know where Mikel went. Do you have any place in mind?"

After saying this, Hermione suddenly had a flash of inspiration and screamed loudly:

"Yes! Why didn't I think of this before? We can search from places where Mikel or the house elves are interested. The probability of discovery is greater from these places!"

Ron:…

He just asked a random question, but why did Hermione seem to have already found the answer?

Is the brain circuit of a genius so different from that of an ordinary person?

Hermione quickly picked up Ron and ran in a certain direction.

At the same time, Lin Xia also made some progress.

She didn't know where Mikel liked to go, what hobbies and habits the house elves had, and she didn't even see Mikel.

But as the class representative of the magic text class, she is responsible for collecting the magic text homework of all the third-grade little wizards.

Some young wizards have given her their magic writing homework in advance, one of which is Mikel's homework.

She found his homework from the traceless retractable ring and cast a "tracking spell" on it. Ordinary tracking spells need to be worn by the little wizard to be effective.

But after Lin Xia improved this curse, as long as the object has brief contact with the cursed person, the breath can be extracted for tracking.

After a while, the homework floated up and suddenly pointed somewhere.

Lin Xia cast a floating spell on it again, letting the homework book follow her movements and leave.

With clear guidance from the homework book, Lin Xia quickly arrived at a place.

This place is the backstreet of Hogsmeade village. Little wizards rarely come here. Only the surrounding local residents can come here.

Because it is shady, it is used for tasks that do not allow frequent exposure to sunlight.

For example, cultivating shade-loving plants, forging alchemical artifacts that cannot see the sun, and making some food that cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time...

Lin Xia followed the guidance of the homework book and stopped in front of a wooden villa.

There are many vines growing in this villa, and the dense vines have covered the original appearance of the villa, like a cabin in the forest where elves like to live.

The lack of exposure to the sun gave the villa a hint of gloom.

Lin Xia controlled her footsteps, quietly opened the door and walked in.

This villa was actually a shop. As soon as Lin Xia walked into the door, she was stared at by a waiter inside.

This waiter is a house elf!

It is obvious that this villa is a gathering place for house elves, or it specializes in selling things that house elves need.

Lin Xia smelled a strong smell of medicine. Many potions for treating injuries were also sold here.

But what made her a little confused was that the potions that exuded a strong medicinal smell were all low-level potions, and the therapeutic effect was not obvious.

Such as water of life, energy recovery potion, whitening treatment potion...

These are all intermediate potions. They have been refined by different potion masters and have different tastes, but they do not emit such a strong medicinal smell in terms of smell.

Even the potions made by Snape would not have such a strong smell.

Of course, the bruise plaster he used on his body was made using an oriental method of Chinese herbal medicine.

When attached to the body, the medicinal effect can be continuously exerted. The medicinal materials used are relatively good, so it is also an intermediate-level magic potion.

However, it has a strong medicinal smell, which is unavoidable in bruise plasters.

Just by relying on the smell of the medicine, Lin Xia knew that the potions sold here were made from some not-so-powerful herbs.

The house elf waiter took the initiative and said: "Here comes another wizard. Do you want to buy something? I don't think human wizards need to use the potion we made.

Human wizards often look down upon such cheap potions. "

The house elf said, making a mocking expression.

He does not have any restraint accessories on his body, and the clothes he wears are brand new. He is a free house elf.

It is also because it is free that it can rent a shop in Hogsmeade Village.

Lin Xia said: "I came here to find someone. I wonder if you saw a young male wizard walking in. He is a little shorter than me, about this tall."

Lin Xia gestured to the position of her chest.

The waiter stared at her steadily for several seconds, then suddenly smiled gloomily and said: "I know where the wizard went, he also came in looking for someone, and he was looking for my companion.

The wizard used something in exchange for me. What about you, what can you give me? "

The house elf's eyes became sinister and cunning, reminding Lin Xia of the group of goblins in Gringotts.

Whenever they look at the wizards coming and going, they will look like this from time to time.

It's very liberating.

Lin Xia asked: "What do you want?"

She had a hunch that the house elf would charge a very high price.

When it didn't speak, Lin Xia quickly glanced at the goods on the shelf. Sure enough, they were all low-level healing potions and plasters.

The production techniques are very rough and the quality of the potions is not good. The people who make these goods should not have studied systematically.

It was just a copycat recipe, but the effect was mediocre, and it was just one step away from becoming a poison.

So Lin Xia said, "How about I give you a set of oriental bruise ointment recipes, which will be more effective than the medicines sold in your shop."

However, this suggestion made the house elf's face change drastically, and he said angrily in his shrill voice:

"Get out! You stinky, contemptuous little wizard!

I don't need your guidance, nor do I need you to give me a recipe, get out of here quickly, get out!!!"

The house elf picked up a broom and drove her out.

Lin Xia kept backing away and came back to the front of the villa, not understanding why the elf was so angry.

When she went out, she happened to meet Ron and Hermione.

They exchanged information.

Hermione said: "I have heard of this house-elf. Its master died, and no wizard was willing to accept it, so it became a free elf.

The reason for not accepting it was that this elf had secretly made potions without the master's knowledge, and was discovered by the master, so it was imprisoned.

Those people were worried that after accepting it, it would continue to learn secretly.

Finally, it ran to Hogsmeade Village and opened a potion shop. Because it learned secretly, the medicines it made were not very effective, so it was only open to house-elves.

Human wizards entered If you go there and don't give it a satisfactory price, you will be kicked out. Even if you give it, you will most likely be kicked out. "

Lin Xia glanced at the homework book floating beside her and pondered: "The tracking spell tells me that Mikkel is here, so what should we do now?"

Hermione vowed: "You wait outside, I am sure I can get the information. I have dealt with the house elves in Hogwarts a lot and I am friends with them!"

Hermione and Ron walked in. Lin Xia stood outside and suddenly felt something and looked up at the third floor of the villa.

What she saw was a dark window.

Lin Xia just looked up and lowered her head again.

But even if it was just a glance, it made the people in the dark quietly alert.

An adult wizard wrapped himself in shadows and took out a small mirror.

He waved his wand and chanted some unknown spell.

After a while, the scene in the mirror changed, and three Death Eaters wearing black robes appeared in the mirror.

The wizard said: "Using Kreacher as bait really works. I saw Lin Xia."

One of the wizards in the mirror asked: "Are you sure you can catch her?"

The wizard shook his head: "No, I think she is very sharp and I am afraid she can find me soon."

The wizard in the mirror said coldly: "Then kill her! The first thing Bellatrix said when she woke up was to tell her that she would become one of the biggest obstacles for the master!"

The wizard outside the mirror frowned: "Do you really want to do this? She has an excellent research talent...

Bellatrix obviously failed to do the task herself and took her anger out on the little wizard. Who doesn't know that it was Dumbledore-"

"Okay, kill me if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't you want to kill her?"

"No." The wizard immediately denied, "I just think that if I can subdue her, she can bring greater benefits to the master." (End of this chapter)
