Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Draco nodded and whispered: "My father is a member of the board of directors. Because of the recent incident with Sirius, there are many dementors surrounding the castle, which makes the parents very worried."

Although the Ministry of Magic claims to be able to control Dementors, these vicious things floating around outside are always a scourge.

No one knows when the dementors will get out of control.

Even if Dumbledore is stationed in this castle, that won't work.

After all, Dumbledore is also the Minister of Magic. He cannot stay in school all the time. He has a lot of things to be busy with!

Lin Xia nodded: "I understand, so what does the board of directors want to do?"

Draco remembered the letter his father had written to him, looked around, took out his wand and waved a spell to isolate sound and sight.

"Blocking out the sky and the sun!"

This is just a low-level magic, but after Lin Xia's improvements, both the magic power and effects used have reached the category of intermediate magic.

In this magic, the little wizard can see their mouths moving, but can't hear any sound, including the mouth shapes of the lips they see are wrong.

At the same time, the spell caster can also adjust the magic intensity, so that the little wizard can not even see their silhouette.

But now that they were running outside Hogwarts Castle, they didn't need to use all their defenses to arouse suspicion.

After casting the isolation spell, Draco said:

"According to my father, the board of directors is inclined to ask the Ministry of Magic to send a team of Aurors or relevant officials to deal with this matter."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows and said with certainty: "The board of directors does not trust Dumbledore."

Draco smiled bitterly: "I don't understand this. Apart from Dumbledore, who else can do so much for the little wizard, and he is also one of the most powerful wizards in the world."

Lin Xia: "It is precisely because he is too powerful that people doubt whether he, a great man, can focus his limited attention on the little wizard."

Seeing that Draco was still confused, she explained in more detail.

"It is unusual for Dumbledore to agree to allow Dementors to enter Hogwarts. You must know that this is not an order from the Ministry of Magic, but Dumbledore's decision to open it up.

Some parents may think that Dumbledore is fishing, using Hogwarts as bait. "

Draco's eyes flashed slightly, and he vaguely understood something.

After finishing their run, the two returned to the auditorium.

The house elves enthusiastically provided them with hot milk tea, ginger tea soup and other cold-repelling drinks, as well as daily tonic potions.

The house elves do not favor one against the other. They not only prepare it for the little wizards of Hufflepuff, but also for other little wizards who also go out for a run.

Lin Xia noticed Percy not far away.

He stood at the door, communicating excitedly with several other student union officers, which attracted a lot of attention. Under this attention, Percy straightened up even more.

Lin Xia shrugged, well, she didn't think this was something worth watching.

But for some wizards, this may be a matter of pride.

The first big class in the morning is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Yesterday, they took the Defense Against the Dark Arts class taught by Snape. Although it was not as rigid as the Potions class, it was completely different from Professor Lupin's teaching style.

Snape's teaching style did not rely on interaction, but on forcing young wizards to memorize things by rote.

Either he doesn't move, and he acts vigorously and resolutely when he moves.

For example, today, Snape asked the young wizards to form two teams and begin to cast spells to fight.

Ron couldn't help but frown: "How is this different from the fighting club held by Lockhart?"

As that club was always prone to accidents, the school canceled it long ago.

Hermione said: "There are still differences. In Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, you can only use the spells learned in these classes."

"Quiet!" Snape's voice came, and the little wizard immediately fell silent.

He glanced at everyone coldly and said slowly: "I believe that yesterday, you already understood the difference between werewolves and real wolves, but I must emphasize once again that werewolves are not creatures worthy of pity.

On a full moon night, they will uncontrollably transform into wolves. The wolf transformations are obviously different from ordinary wolves and can walk upright.

The habits of werewolves will only attack humans. Without the help of wolfsbane potion, they will completely forget their identity when they transform, attack the people around them, and even look for opportunities to kill their best friends. ! "

Snape said in a cold tone, as if the snake king took the initiative to open its big mouth and issue a death warning to the young and pitiful creature.

"Don't have mercy on werewolves, and don't imagine that when they are in danger, they can take wolfsbane potion to regain consciousness, because most werewolves are very poor and cannot afford the cost of wolfsbane potion."

Suddenly, his tone changed and he stared at Harry.

"Harry Potter, tell us about the werewolf transformation conditions, how they transform humans into werewolves."

Harry had to stand up and accept the attention of everyone.

This made him feel like he was naked and forced to show it to everyone, which was very embarrassing.

Snape had just taught this part of knowledge yesterday, and asked them to write a several-page paper. The little wizard had to write the limited knowledge over and over again.

Harry also wrote a lot of it over and over again, to the point where he could recite it.

“On a full moon night, it must be a full moon night when the werewolf is in wolf form.

The second is that the werewolf's saliva must come into contact with the victim's blood. If it is just scratched by a werewolf, it will not be transformed, but it will leave scars that will never heal.

In addition, if you are bitten on a non-full moon night, even if the blood comes into contact with the werewolf's saliva, it will not be transformed, but some werewolf characteristics will appear, such as a preference for eating raw meat with blood. "

Snape said in a arrogant tone: "Very well, Harry, you remember the characteristics of werewolves better than I thought. So let's tell you, how should we kill werewolves?"

Hermione immediately flipped through the books, trying to find out the answer for Harry.

But only halfway through, she suddenly thought of something, frowned, and stopped.

The atmosphere was silent. Ron kept winking at Hermione and couldn't help but whisper:

"Hurry up and look for it. Harry doesn't know this question. He was embarrassed by Snape!"

Hermione also answered him in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to look for it, it's just that Zhu Li didn't give an answer at all. Werewolves are difficult to kill. We can only fight head-on. There is no specific solution!"

Harry on the other side spoke after thinking for a few seconds.

He put himself in his shoes and thought about what he would do if he encountered a werewolf.

"First of all, we must keep a distance from the werewolf to avoid being attacked by the werewolf at close range. We can also use obstacles to avoid it. Never let the werewolf touch us, and use magic to protect ourselves."

Snape raised his eyebrows, suddenly turned around and said to the other young wizards: "Why don't you record the method he said? This is the best way for you mediocre and stupid people to face werewolves!"

The little wizard immediately lowered his head and acted. No one expected that he would actually recognize Harry.

Snape said calmly: "Don't fight the werewolves head-on, your spells can't withstand a werewolf's claws.

Werewolves have super high magic resistance, and ordinary attack magic has no effect on them. Generally, only mid-level wizards can deal with them, and low-level wizards can only escape. "

Before the little wizard could finish writing, Snape said again: "Now attack the people who are in your team. Think of the other party as a werewolf. How to use magic in a desperate situation to create a glimmer of hope!"

Seeing that the little wizard was stunned, Snape said sternly: "Hurry up!"

The little wizard immediately took action, wielding various attack magic.

Lin Xia and Draco were in a group. The two often did battle training. They had a tacit understanding of the battle and were more capable than other little wizards.

However, Draco thought it was the usual magic battle, but Lin Xia had changed his strategy and turned it into a magic spell more suitable for fighting against werewolves.

"Collapse!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Scorching Ray!"

Three spells were hit in succession, and Draco could only defend passively. He shouted "armor protection" three times in a row. When he got there, he was tired of dealing with it and was a little embarrassed.

Lin Xia then stopped attacking and said loudly: "Draco, not every attacking magic must be protected by armor.

Armor protection has a relatively advanced defense and is suitable for more dangerous attack spells and ordinary spells. You can use air shields or move your body to avoid them. "

Draco stopped and asked, "Lin Xia, why did you choose these three attack spells? They are all quite common and not very harmful."

Lin Xia: “But they can all create effective obstacles for werewolves.

I keep in mind what Professor Snape said, the little wizard is too weak when facing werewolves. It is best not to face the werewolf, but to escape. These three magic spells can better help us escape. "

After hearing this, the other little wizards were thoughtful and immediately imitated his example.

The order of the entire church gradually improved and it seemed to be on the right track.

With great difficulty, I finally finished a Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Snape quickly left the classroom. Seeing this, the little wizard stayed in the classroom to rest.

Ron's complaints could be heard in the distance, and he didn't understand what Snape was having.

Ron: "Fighting werewolves is obviously a course for the next semester. Why do we have to learn it so quickly? The progress is too high and we can't keep up!"

To put it bluntly, when will Professor Lu Ping come back? !

The little wizards couldn't help but howl.

Harry was a little out of sorts, so he asked Hermione: "Hermione, Snape doesn't seem to have deducted any points from me today."

Hermione recalled it and said with some surprise: "Yes, he didn't deduct points from you. In the past, when you answered correctly, he would deduct points because you answered too slowly."

Ron screamed from the side: "It's impossible to find out because of conscience!"

Mikel suddenly raised his glasses and said calmly: "It probably has something to do with my feedback."

As soon as these words came out, even Lin Xia and Draco came over with interest and listened carefully.

Mikel said: "I finally raised Gryffindor's score. Now that Professor Snape is temporarily taking over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I'm worried that he will deduct points from Gryffindor."

He paused and said: "So I wrote a letter to the Education Office in advance, hoping that the Education Office can cancel Snape's temporary position as Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After all, it’s not like we don’t have other Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. Why do we have to ask Snape to take over temporarily? Can’t we just share it with other professors?

I question whether Snape can teach Gryffindor students fairly and impartially. "

Ron couldn't help but grab Mikel's shoulders and said excitedly: "Good job, brother!"

Even Hermione rarely said: "Well done!"

Neville couldn't wait to ask: "What's the follow-up, how did the teaching department respond?"

Mickle said: "The teaching department replied to me that Snape will definitely take over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in a fair and just manner. If there is any unfairness, you can give them feedback.

So I kept staring at Professor Snape in class, but unfortunately, from yesterday to now, he has not deducted any Gryffindor students' points, even Ron who contradicted him."

He deliberately glanced at Ron.

"Snape only punished him with detention, but didn't deduct any points."

Ron suddenly realized: "Yeah, I said something seemed to be missing in class yesterday. It turns out that my points were not deducted. No wonder I felt something was wrong."

Lin Xia thought of something, glanced at Mikel from the corner of her eye, and asked him in person: "By the way, Ron, your mouse--"

Ron immediately raised his hand and said: "I swear, I will never bring a mouse out for patrol next time!

I don't know why Scabbers hid in my pocket. I think it might be because the dormitory is too stuffy, so it wants to run out for some fresh air."

"Scabbers? Mouse?" Mikel suddenly looked at Ron sharply, and said nervously: "What happened?"

Lin Xia's eyes flashed with interest. Mikel really knew something.

She knew that Mikel had a system and relied on the system to catch up with the top students.

But in some ways, Mikel behaved very strangely.

He always said surprising things in a different direction from everyone else's thinking, and his thinking was different from everyone else's.

But later on, it is often proven that what he said was right.

Ron: "Nothing happened. When I went out on a mission, Banban went with me. I really didn't notice it before, and I only found it when I was patrolling later."

Mikel was obviously relieved.

Lin Xia said, "I've seen that mouse. It seems to be very old."

Mikel also said casually, "I remember that mice as pets usually only live for 2 to 3 years. Even some excellent species can only live for 5 years at most.

Ron, how many years has your mouse lived?"

Ron recalled, "It was my brother Percy's pet at first, and then it became my pet. It was already there when I was very young. It seems to have been more than ten years."

Lin Xia suddenly laughed and said, "It's a miracle that your mouse is alive."

Mikel followed closely and said, "Take it for a check-up. It can live so long. Maybe it's not a mouse?

If it is really a mouse, maybe it's a new species of mouse. Maybe you can discover a new magical creature.

You will name its species, and you can also get a huge gold Galleon subsidy."

The Ministry of Magic subsidizes the discovery of new species and new magical creatures, encouraging people to discover more species. The first person to discover can receive at least 1,000 gold Galleons.

In addition, the first wizard to discover it has the right to name it.

Some wizards are not interested in gold galleons, but are very interested in the naming rights. (End of this chapter)
