Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 100: Draco’s transformation talent is on the rise
Lin Xia glanced at Cedric, "I thought you wouldn't be so surprised."

Cedric: "...I also want to stay calm."

But since Lin Xia has such fighting power, Cedric feels relieved about what he is going to say next.

"The association asked me to ask you if you would like to attend the next party."

Cedric told them about the exchange meetings initiated by outstanding students. They usually exchange information about the tasks they have taken on, as well as some doubts about their studies.

He said: "The main communication is the former, and the latter is basically not talked about unless you take the initiative to ask."

As an outstanding student at Hogwarts, his development is actually very balanced. Nowadays, there are very few partial subjects, and he can get an A in every subject.

Excellent students have their own pride. They do not think that their learning methods are worse than others, so they basically do not communicate about learning problems.

"Mission?" This was the first time Lin Xia heard this word.

"I saw the [Mission Area] in the secret key, but the dean reminded me not to touch it first, so I didn't open it. Are these tasks difficult to complete and do we need to communicate with each other?"

Cedric said seriously: "There are many types of tasks. Unless you go out of your way to find the same task to do, otherwise, if you assign it randomly, it may not be the same for a month.

As a student, the tasks you can take on are limited, so you can listen to other people’s task experiences and check for gaps. "

He changed his words and said, "But you are not doing the task. In fact, it would be better for you not to communicate. You won't hear too much noise."

"Noise?" Draco said.

"Yeah, noise." Cedric nodded solemnly.

"Each wizard has a different practice philosophy. Some people believe that we should focus on spiritual practice, some people believe that we should focus on spiritual or physical practice, and some people think that we need to rely on external forces to make up for ourselves, etc."

"Every mission we take on is a transformation of our practice philosophy. As we take on more and more missions, each wizard will gradually figure out the path he wants to take.

But for a little wizard like you who is not yet capable of accepting missions, hearing discussions about ideas too early is not good and will hinder your growth. "

Draco understood that when different ideas collide, if one's own ideas are not clear and firm enough, it is easy to be influenced by others and be distorted.

"In that case, why did you ask Lin Xia if she was going?" Draco was very puzzled.

Cedric smiled bitterly and said: "I was also entrusted by others. The outstanding students in the senior class asked me to ask. They were very curious about Lin Xia. I tried my best to avoid it, but I still couldn't avoid it completely."

Lin Xia thought for a while and made a decision.

"Senior, I also have instructions from the dean. She said she would help me make arrangements, so I won't attend any gatherings at the moment. If there is a chance in the future, I will go."

Cedric just wanted an answer. To be honest, he didn't want Lin Xia to go to the exchange meeting.

Those outstanding students are usually gentle and polite, but when it comes to disputes over ideas, they will become crazy.

When you get excited, they don't care if you are in first grade or seventh grade.

If you have anything to do, let’s have a fight first.

After explaining the business, Cedric did not leave immediately, but stayed in the common room to teach the other little badgers magic.

Among them, there was a young wizard who asked him about transfiguration and how to turn flowers, plants and trees into tables and chairs.

Cedric said: "If you want to transform into a long table like this, it is impossible. Even if you can transform, your magic power is insufficient and the transformation will fail in the end.

Therefore, my suggestion is to deform in a small and refined direction. You don't have to make a big table or chair, even if it's just a table and chair the size of your thumb, make it more elaborate and complex, and you can practice your transformation skills. "

He said, waving his wand.

"Like this, like that."

After a while, a dozen small and exquisite tables and chairs appeared in front of the little wizard. These tables and chairs were all only about the size of a palm, but they were very delicate.

If you look at them enlarged, they are no different from ordinary tables and chairs.

Cedric's aesthetic style is a very green forest style, and the tables and chairs he transformed also fit his fantasy of this style.

The little wizard tried to imitate everything, but he could only barely transform into a shabby little table or chair, or he could only transform into a simple one with missing arms and legs.

But the situation was enough to surprise Cedric.

He found that the first-year wizards of this class were much better than his class. Is it true that each generation in the wizarding world is getting stronger than the previous generation?

That's not true, he was stronger in that session than in the next.

Cedric glanced around and saw that every young wizard was studying seriously. Even those who were not interested in transfiguration were discussing other magical issues.

His eyes flashed slightly, as if he understood something.

Next to him, Draco put down the idiom book, took out his wand and pointed it at a small daisy on the ground.

Chinese books are obscure and difficult to understand, especially those in classical Chinese. Traditional Chinese characters and vertical layout are more complex than simplified Chinese, which further exacerbates reading comprehension difficulties.

Draco could only read one page a night at first, but now his efficiency has improved and he can read three or four pages a night.

But every time I watch it, I feel dizzy.

He had just completed today's study task, so he casually used the Transformation Technique as a way to change his mood.

At this point, the little daisy immediately transformed into an ivory white chair, which was of normal size.

Draco looked at it carefully and felt it was too plain, so he pointed his wand at the back of the chair again.

Gradually, some exquisite and complex golden patterns appear on the back of the chair, slowly twisting into various floral patterns.

The shape of the chair is also constantly changing, allowing one to see the shaping process.

After about ten minutes, Draco put down his wand with satisfaction.

A brand new luxurious chair full of aristocratic taste appeared in front of everyone. Cedric glanced at it and was about to look away when he suddenly froze.

"Did you transform this?" He grabbed Draco.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Draco asked.

Cedric said in disbelief: "Have you not noticed that your transformation skills are much better than before?"

"Ah?" Draco seemed to wake up from his sleep. He stared at the ivory white chair for a long time and asked in a daze: "Senior, is this really my transformation?"

"...Do you want me to slap you?"

"Oh, that's not necessary."

Draco quickly changed the subject and rambled on about how I could transform such a beautiful, luxurious and realistic chair.

You must know that last month, he practiced transfiguration for a long time before he managed to turn a moving beetle into a fruit.

Maybe it turned into grapes, bananas, oranges, mangosteens... Anyway, the seniors knew about it and asked him to change it.

Among them, it often takes him several days to completely transform the beetle so that the fruit will not still have a carapace on it.

However, just today, without any practice, he just relied on the fantasy in his mind to adjust the details of the transformation technique on the spot, and he actually succeeded!
This is incredible!
Cedric wanted to ask something, but seeing Draco's appearance, he couldn't ask.

The person involved was even more confused than he was. Can this be said?

Cedric thought to himself: Can doing research really increase magical talent?

Draco just concentrated on retreating, created a paper, improved a potion, and his talent for transfiguration actually increased dramatically!
Perhaps, he can also try to do research and write a paper?
……

Lin Xia and Draco were not very busy during the week preparing for academic lectures, and were more leisurely than when they were doing experiments.

The reason is that Professor Snape asked them to prepare speeches, answer questions, explain principles and other simulations in advance before their papers were published.

So when it was time to give the report, Lin Xia and Draco found that these procedures had been rehearsed and were extremely familiar.

Parents Lin Rui and Xia Li sent a letter saying that they were chasing the legendary dragon in the Amazon forest and could not go there in person.

But they believed that Lin Xia would do a good job and asked Lucius to come with their gifts.

September 12th, Saturday.

Lucius arrived at Hogwarts early, wearing a smart suit.

Three days ago, Draco had been awarded the Top Student Badge by Hogwarts.

There are only three research talents in Hogwarts, and among the wizards who are graduating in seventh grade, only one has published a paper.

Against such a backdrop, first-year students who are already able to independently publish papers are eligible for an exception.

Lucius was overjoyed to see Draco and hugged him.

"I'm proud of you, Draco." His voice was still so elegant and arrogant, full of literary accent, but full of excitement.

Draco looked at his father helplessly, his eyes a little red, and he hesitated to speak.

The father and son understood each other's thoughts with just one glance.

Lucius said: "Prepare your speech first, enjoy this report, and tell me anything you want in Hogsmeade in the evening."

Draco nodded.

Compared to the nervous Draco, Lin Xia, who had already held a paper conference, seemed very calm.

Not every publisher of a paper needs to hold a presentation conference.

Some of the magic papers involve theoretical foundations and simple magic. For example, if you create a brand new magic, you only need to prove its principle so that everyone can use it.

But Lin Xia and Draco wrote a thesis and research, and also created something by the way, so they had to hold a press conference, which involved commercial copyright issues.

She walked up to Lucius, nodded and said, "Uncle Lucius, long time no see."

Lucius smiled and said, "It's only been two months since we last met. With the speed at which you published your paper, I guess we will be able to meet again at Hogwarts soon."

He hugged Lin Xia and quietly threw a ring into her pocket.

"It's a pity that your parents can't attend your press conference. They asked me to record the whole process for them to see. I specially brought a video camera here."

"I am very optimistic about your youth facial soap. I wonder if the Malfoy family is honored to be an agent for this product. I will give you a satisfactory price."

Lin Xia said without thinking: "Of course, I trust the Malfoy family, but before that, I had already agreed to the director of a beauty salon, who was the test helper that Professor Sprout found for me."

Lucius tapped the cane with the silver faucet in his hand calmly, "It's just a beauty salon and it won't affect much market share. The Malfoy family is willing to share the benefits with her."

Lin Xia smiled: "Then it's settled."

The press conference started smoothly.

Draco came on stage first and spent twenty minutes explaining his theory and another twenty minutes answering questions.

Professor Snape was sitting in the audience and asked Draco a few questions.

Not only that, the potions professors in the school asked questions.

The professor had asked Draco these questions in advance, and he had been prepared for them.

Forty minutes later, Draco's report on the "New Version of Improved Scabies Potion" was completed.

After a short break of ten minutes, Lin Xia then went on stage to give a report on the principles and production of the youth facial soap invented.
