Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 48 Extraordinary Talent

Professor McGonagall came to the auditorium in person. You should know that professors usually do not eat in the auditorium because they are afraid that students will feel uncomfortable.

The Gryffindor students flinched, thinking that the professor was coming to criticize them for being too noisy while eating.

Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall passed directly by Gryffindor and came to Hufflepuff, "Lin Xia."

Lin Xia raised her head blankly, "Professor, what do you want from me?"

Professor McGonagall: "Come to my office after eating. I have something to tell you. Oh, by the way, Professor Sprout is also in my office."

She just said this calmly and left, but Lin Xia didn't dare to let the professor wait, so he stood up in a hurry and left with her.

As soon as Lin Xia and Professor McGonagall left, the young wizards from other colleges started discussing.

Among them, the long table of Slytherin was the loudest. Several young wizards shouted loudly: "Lin Xia must have committed something wrong, so he is always looked for by the professor!"

Someone whispered back: "But after Lin Xia was approached by Professor Snape, no points were deducted."

"After Lin Xia was approached by Professor Sprout, he seemed to have introduced her to a generous work-study job and received benefits."

The three Slytherin students became angry and their faces turned red: "This time, something will definitely happen to her!"

Draco gave the group of people a hard look, but this time he didn't point his wand at them, but at the dishes in front of them.

"Oolong comes out of the hole!"

"Ahhh, there's a snake!"

A snake suddenly appeared in the bowls of the three of them. It was a small snake, not poisonous, and it kept twisting and rolling on the dining table.

The three Slytherin students were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

Draco had already put away his wand and quickly left the scene.

Hermione frowned when she saw this.

……

In Professor McGonagall's office, Professor Sprout was also there, and the two of them looked at Lin Xia seriously.

This made Lin Xia a little confused. She didn't seem to have done anything that violated school rules.

Could it be that her desertion in the history of magic was discovered by two professors?
Professor Sprout took the lead and said: "Lin Xia, you have developed a new method of making wands, why didn't you tell me?"

Professor McGonagall nodded: "Yes, fortunately Ollivander sent a letter to remind me, otherwise I would have forgotten to apply for the outstanding student subsidy for you."

In Dumbledore's absence, she, as the vice-principal, manages the administration of Hogwarts. Students' applications to become "excellent students" need to be approved by her.

Lin Xia was confused, "Huh? Isn't there no scholarship for the first grade?"

Professor McGonagall shook her head: "It's not that there are no first-year students, it's just that the conditions for obtaining them are more stringent than those of other grades.

But at the same time, if you can apply for a first-year scholarship for outstanding students, the scholarship can be stacked with scholarships for other grades. However, professors generally won't talk about first-year scholarships because the conditions are too difficult to meet. "

Professor Sprout told Lin Xia about Hogwarts’ outstanding student system.

Starting from the second grade, the division of outstanding students has become obvious.

As the grades get higher, it becomes clear at a glance which students are gifted and those who are not.

But the first grade is different. Everyone has just come into contact with magic and is standing on the same starting line.

Even if some young wizards are excellent in every subject, their level of excellence is too superficial.

It only takes a summer or winter vacation to catch up.

Therefore, if the first grader wants to become an outstanding student and win a scholarship, the little wizard must prove that he has extraordinary talents that are different from other little wizards.

Lin Xia developed a brand new magic wand in the first grade. If she can't become an outstanding student, then who can be?

Professor McGonagall's rigid face showed a hint of smile, "Lin Xia, it's been a long time since Hogwarts has seen a young wizard with talents in the first grade. Originally, outsiders wanted to use Hogwarts to hold a press conference. After many procedures, only outstanding alumni or outstanding students can borrow it.

Wait until your thesis is published and approved, and then submit your application. The school will not hold you back in this regard. By the way, I suggest spreading this news to give other little wizards a boost. "

Less than a month into the school year, Professor McGonagall couldn't stand the little wizard's laziness.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and replied: "Let the school arrange everything."

Of course she still wants to keep a low profile, but the school has taken advantage of it, so it would be unjustifiable if she doesn't cooperate.

And she believed that the two professors would not harm her.

However, after Lin Xia left the office, she waited in the corridor for Professor Sprout to come out and told her her hidden worries.

For example, will he be too pushy and be jealous of other wizards?

Professor Sprout shook his head and affirmed: "Don't worry, Hogwarts is the safest. Nothing will happen to you in Hogwarts. As for things outside, Hogwarts will take care of everything for you." .”

She gave Lin Xia reassurance: "If you are really worried, the school can come forward and say that you studied it on campus and received guidance from some teachers."

She didn't know what she thought of, and said meaningfully: "Lin Xia, if you have any extraordinary talents, no matter how much you use them, Hogwarts will be able to protect you. Now is the best era in the wizarding world."

Lin Xia's eyes moved, "Teacher, did something happen outside?"

Professor Sprout refused to say any more and only said: "The more powerful your talents are, the more the school will value you."

In the evening, students from the four major colleges took astronomy classes together.

This is a big class. Thousands of people are on the top of the Hogwarts tower, observing the starry sky with telescopes and learning the names of stars and the movements of planets.

They had astronomy classes three times a week, and their teacher was Professor Sinistra.

A professor who likes to carry a star pendant everywhere, she makes no secret of her love for astronomy.

It is said that she often regrets that she does not have the potential for divination, so she always hangs out with teachers in divination classes, hoping to learn some prophetic magic.

"Lin Xia!"

Hermione found her in the crowd, thanks to the fact that Hufflepuff students didn't like to run around, they hugged each other too obviously.

Of course, Hermione felt that the Hufflepuffs each held a drink cup with a Q version of a badger in their hand, which was more conspicuous.

She asked worriedly: "You were called away by Professor McGonagall at noon. Did something happen? Can I help you?"

During class in the afternoon, the badgers had already taken turns asking her questions. Lin Xia took the trouble to explain, and it was the same this time.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing that the professor is looking for me. You will know in a few days." Lin Xia smiled and winked at her.

Lin Xia asked Draco about the "excellent students", but he didn't know, so she asked about the "know-it-all" lady in front of her.

"Hermione, do you know what an honor student is?"

Hermione said without thinking: "Of course I know, this is mentioned in "A School History"."

She quickly recited the names of many outstanding students, and also mentioned some of Hogwarts' criteria for selecting outstanding students, but it was not complete.

Lin Xia noticed that Hermione repeated "extraordinary talents" several times.

"So, what does extraordinary talent mean?" she asked.

Hermione was momentarily stuck.
