Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 30 The Gringotts theft incident
Professor Sproul's medicine garden work was not heavy, so Lin Xia was forced to listen to a whole morning's lectures, which were all about advanced knowledge of handling herbal medicines.

Lin Xia already knew the basics of common herbalism at Malfoy Manor. After the professor knew the progress she and Draco had made, he taught her more advanced knowledge.

There is no other way. If they don't learn more, they just come here as mascots and can only stare at them.

Only a small part of Professor Spraw's medicine garden contains intermediate magic plants, and most of them are high-level magic plants. There are no low-level magic plants.

As for Draco, since he couldn't leave school on weekends, he had plenty of time since he didn't need to take the heir course for the time being, so he came to work with Lin Xia.

Draco is also very experienced. When he was a child, he couldn't compete with Lin Xia, so he worked hard to learn, hoping to get slapped in the face later.

After the result... I only got more slapped in the face and never surpassed it.

So Draco changed his approach and followed Lin Xia's pace. Although he still couldn't compare, he could barely keep up with Lin Xia's strength.

After they finish learning the advanced knowledge and pass Professor Spraw's assessment, they can officially take up their posts and deal with the magic plants for her.

Professor Spraw is worthy of being their dean. He treats his family well. Even if they didn't do any work today, he still asked them to bring some intermediate herbs back.

Lin Xia took a look. Although it was not a herbal medicine that could strengthen the body, it was better than nothing, so he took a big handful.

At noon, they first went to the castle for dinner.

Suddenly, a large number of owls flew in through the high window and dropped envelopes and newspapers on the dining table.

Lin Xia subscribes to the Daily Prophet every day to learn about current events.

"Gringotts has been stolen!" Suddenly there was an exclamation from the students.

"Isn't Gringotts the safest bank in the world? Why was it stolen?"

Lin Xia looked down and saw the goblin's news appeared in the newspaper.

The goblin claimed that nothing was lost in the stolen secret vault, and decided to replace the old fire dragon in Gringotts, and would send people to the Muggle world to learn their security system.

Draco also saw this news and kept cursing: "We are wizards, is it useful to learn the security system of the Muggle world? No matter how powerful the password is, a decryption spell can crack it!"

These goblins are so mean, I doubt if my property can be well taken care of in Gringotts! "

The wizarding world generally looks down on the Muggle world because magic is too convenient and many things can be done with magic.

Even if Lin Xia learns knowledge about the Muggle world, he is only exercising his logical thinking.

Lin Xia thought of the woman in the dream, how easily she could break through Gringotts' verification system, and couldn't help but ask:

"Draco, why is it that there is only one bank in the British wizarding world, and it is run by goblins? Doesn't any wizard want to run it?"

Draco said without thinking: "Goblins are good at keeping money. They love money and are considered a neutral third party. I would rather keep it for goblins than wizards."

Lin Xia shook his head: "You also said that they love money, so how can you guarantee that goblins will not covet your property?"

Draco hesitated, speechless for a moment.

From birth to adulthood, he had been instilled with the idea that the Goblin Bank was very safe, and he never thought that it would be robbed one day.

In Lin Xia's view, the magic world does not have a complete currency system, and the new additions and sales of gold galleons every year do not know how to solve it.

If it weren't for the fact that the magical world around the world is interconnected but independent of each other, there is no intention to engage in currency wars.

Otherwise, the monetary system of the British wizarding world would be easily defeated.

Lin Xia said: "Draco, there is an old saying in the East, which is: people who are not from my race must have different minds. The values ​​​​of right and wrong of goblins may be very different from those of us humans.

I think we should first understand the core of the goblin, and then decide whether it is better to put the property in a bank. "

Like her little treasury, she always wears it.

The bank didn't increase the interest rate for her, so why should she lend it to the bank?
Next, Lin Xia ran to the library to check information, and Draco decided to stay in the common room to practice transfiguration. The only known library in Hogwarts is on the fifth floor. There may be other libraries around, but Lin Xia doesn't know.

She thought of the adult wizards coming in and out of the gates of Hogwarts on the first day of school, and a flash of thought flashed in her eyes.

I always feel that Hogwarts hides many secrets, and as a student, what you can learn is just the tip of the iceberg.

The magic elevator is not open on weekends, and many little wizards are curious to experience the movable stairs.

Lin Xia had just walked up a flight of stairs, but the next second the stairs changed into a corridor and connected to another place.

Lin Xia was speechless. She didn't really want to go there.

She had just reached the fourth floor. If she followed the movable staircase, she would return to the second floor.

She waited there for half an hour, but there was no sign of any movement on the stairs. The little wizards who chose to go down gradually came to the fourth floor, facing Lin Xia two meters away.

Lin Xia smiled bitterly at them. They were from Gryffindor.

"Lin Xia, why don't you stay down? We've already come up." The petite girl suggested.

Lin Xia was about to say something when suddenly the stairs she was stepping on shook wildly and broke apart from the stairs in front of her.

The little wizard exclaimed, and Lin Xia was caught off guard and could only grab the handrail of the stairs with all her strength.

As a result, the next second, the steps of the stairs also moved and ran away to other places.

Lin Xia's body was hanging on the handrail of the stairs, and her feet were dangling in the air!
"Oh my God, Lin Xia, are you okay?"

"What spell should we use to save you now?"

The little witches were in a hurry, calling for help in a panic.

Lin Xia exercises regularly and has good physical fitness. It's okay to be hung up for a long time, not to mention being hung up for a while.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I have a solution."

Lin Xia planned to give herself a "Wingardium Leviosa", and at worst it would float down slowly.

However, the next second, the movable staircase changed again. The staircase above connected with her floor. The steps under her feet ran back again, and Lin Xia stood on the stairs again.

As soon as she stood firm, she sped up and ran. After waiting for so long, she finally arrived at the movable staircase on the fifth floor.

The final destination of this staircase was the fifth floor, which led to an unfamiliar classroom. Lin Xia opened the door and walked in.

Suddenly, she paused and discovered that it was an abandoned classroom.

Many tables and chairs were placed against the wall. Under the sunlight, you could see that they were covered with dust.

There was an upside-down wastebasket not far away, facing the door where she was. At the same time, Lin Xia also noticed something that didn't seem to belong here.

This is a very stylish mirror!

The height reaches directly to the ceiling. The gorgeous golden mirror frame is supported by two claw-shaped feet. On the top of the mirror, there is a line of words engraved on it:

Eris stela oheru ayiteubi kafulu ayiteon voorhees.

Lin Xia waved the wand in his hand, and a line of light golden fonts similar to the text at the top floated in the air.

She observed it for a while, then suddenly waved her magic wand, turning the line of words upside down, and the words were rearranged:

[What I show is not your face, but the desire in your heart]
