Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 46 Entering another memory crystal

Hogwarts was quiet at night.

According to school regulations, students are not allowed to go out at night, but as long as they return to the dormitory before nine o'clock, it is not considered a night out.

When Lin Xia and Draco left the castle gate, they met the administrator Filch.

Filch was a thin man with a slightly stooped body. He stood silently at the gate, like a statue.

It was not yet dark, and he already held an oil lamp in his hand.

He glanced sharply at every little wizard who came and went in and out of the castle. The little wizards passing by subconsciously tensed up their bodies.

Draco and Lin Xia were two different people. They were far more relaxed than the other little wizards who passed by.

Filch quickly noticed the two little wizards with pleasant expressions, and planned to ask them to stop and check whether they were carrying any prohibited items, so as to establish his authority.

Suddenly, he made a move and saw the little white cat in Lin Xia's hand.

Oh, the color of that cat is very similar to Mrs. Norris, but Mrs. Norris is far more luxurious than that cat.

Out of some love for cats, Filch didn't intend to cause any trouble to these two students.

After Draco left the castle, he threw down an "anti-eavesdropping spell" and then communicated with Lin Xia in a low voice.

"Why do I feel that something was wrong with the way Filch looked at us just now?"

Lin Xia was noncommittal, "It seems so, but he didn't come to trouble us, right?"

Draco thought about it and felt that with so many school employees at Hogwarts, they couldn't love everyone.

As he walked, he found that something was not right about the road.

"Lin Xia, this road we are going to is not the infirmary, right?" Draco said uncertainly.

"Yes, I have to go to the garbage dump near the infirmary first to look for something. You can take a look for me." Lin Xia said calmly.

Draco suddenly said, "No wonder you suddenly came over to visit your classmates. In my impression, you are not someone who cares about your classmates so much."

Lin Xia also smiled. She had never thought of hiding Draco. She came out this time because she wanted him to cover for her.

It is better to act with two people than with one person.

Soon, the two came to the smelly garbage dump.

Before entering, Draco and Lin Xia couldn't stand the smell, so they cast a "Head Soaking Curse" on themselves, and their heads were wrapped in a fish tank.

This spell allows people to breathe underwater and can also block out unpleasant smells from the outside world.

Fairy Bai showed a very humane expression of disgust, but she still jumped out of Lin Xia's arms and nimbly jumped over the garbage.

Its sense of taste is more developed than humans, and odor affects it more.

If it hadn't been for three times of feedback from the Balance of Destiny, which had improved its physical condition, it probably wouldn't have been able to walk around in the garbage as freely as it is now.

The White Fairy quickly recognized the smell of Quirrell's scarf. The smell was very bad, but it had a strange attraction to it.

Fortunately, Snape didn't throw the scarf too far, just on the edge of the dump.

Lin Xia and Draco hadn't walked in long before Fairy Bai stopped and came out with a scarf in her mouth.

Lin Xia took the scarf and put it into a small leather bag.

Draco frowned and asked, "Isn't this Professor Quirrell's scarf?"

Lin Xia did not hide anything from him: "The scarves he used are useful to me. I will get a few more while he is still teaching."

Draco said without thinking, "Okay, if you need my help, just ask."

After walking out of the garbage dump, Fairy Bai huddled beside Lin Xia with some dejection.

Lin Xia used several rounds on it to "clean it up," and then used it on herself a few more times. Finally, she sprayed some grape-flavored perfume on it, and then she felt that the smell on her body had dissipated a bit.

Draco sprayed himself with some lemon mint scented perfume. As an elegant young gentleman, spraying some men's fragrance is a sign of respect for his guests.

The two followed the map and found the infirmary. Before they entered, they heard the four Gryffindors arguing inside.

Hermione said loudly: "You shouldn't have gone to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. You didn't even read the book Hagrid gave you!"

Ron shouted: "We have picked a lot of mushrooms. If we hadn't suddenly encountered the devil's ivy... who knows there would be such a thing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest!" Harry nodded in agreement.

Hermione said angrily: "You two are not allowed to talk if you have broken bones!"

She looked at Mikel Bain and said angrily: "You should persuade them a little and pull them out as soon as something goes wrong."

Mikel choked: "Hermione, I also stepped into the devil's ivy trap, how can I pull them out?"

"Can you use fluorescent light, or do you remind me that's devil's ivy!"

Mikel was speechless, she really thought everyone had her precise casting performance.

Is fluorescent flashing something he can cast whenever he wants? You must know that he has never used this spell once, only heard it.

"Knock, knock, knock." The door was knocked three times.

When Lin Xia and Draco heard the reply, they opened the door and walked in.

When Hermione saw Lin Xia, her tense expression relaxed. She opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed her mouth in frustration.

Lin Xia handed them a bouquet of flowers, "I heard that you are hospitalized. Draco and I came over to see if you are okay?"

Ron lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Xia, and Hermione didn't say anything. The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Harry had to say: "Thank you, Madam Pomfrey said we are fine and we can just rest for a night."

Lin Xia looked at Hermione gently, "Can you tell us about your lunch adventure?"

Hermione nodded quickly, starting from the moment she discovered that the three of them were missing after finishing lunch.

"I went to Hagrid, and Hagrid said they had been walking for a while. I caught up with them from behind and happened to see them trapped in a place.

If Mikel hadn't reminded me that it was devil's ivy, I might have been trapped there. The more we struggled, the tighter the devil's ivy became. "

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Devil's ivy, if I remember correctly, this plant can only grow in a semi-shady environment. It is best not to be exposed to direct sunlight in summer. How come it appears on the edge of the Forbidden Forest?"

Devil's ivy is more likely to appear in swampy environments.

Hermione shook her head: "I don't know, maybe we can ask the professor."

Mikel immediately said: "No, we can't let the professor know that we discovered devil's ivy!"

Everyone else couldn't help but look over.

Mikel was a little nervous and his forehead was sweating, but he was determined not to tell the professor.

Although his reasons are very lame, they are also persuasive:
"If we pick devil's ivy and sell it to the professor, we can make a lot of gold galleons. It's a good magical plant."

When Ron heard this reason, he immediately turned against him, and Harry followed Ron indifferently.

As for Lin Xia and Draco, they did not express any opinions. They did not discover the devil's vine.

Lin Xia returned to the golden wooden house, summoned the Scale of Destiny, and made a sacrifice.

In order to successfully obtain the troll, she had to arm herself as much as possible.

The little white cat stood calmly on the right end of the scale of fate. After several sacrifices, it has become calm and orderly.

The scarf on the left end of the scale quickly rose, and the right end represented by the little white cat immediately fell. The judgment was quickly over and the sacrifice began.

The scarf collapsed and disintegrated inch by inch under some indescribable effect, and Lin Xia felt the power of the balance of fate feeding back to her.

It’s almost the same as the feedback from the last sacrifice, with two or three days more training effect.

After all, Quirrell wore the scarf for too short a time, and it was not tainted with Voldemort's aura.

The White Fairy jumped down from the scale and licked her hair slowly.

It didn't change at all during this sacrifice, but Lin Xia felt that its eyes were brighter.

The scales trembled for a while, trembling violently for a while, and finally spit out traces of black mist.

The fog quickly dissipated, leaving a black memory crystal on the scale.
