Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 94 Gathering magic power, ancient magic spell array

As long as it is runes, whether it is language or numbers, it has mysterious abilities, represents the oldest magic, and has the power to point directly to the origin of magic.

There are many legends about Hogwarts, including countless legends about the four founders.

One of the legends tells that the four founders came out of a mysterious place and continued to study magic. What they studied was ancient runes.

Compared with other magic schools, Hogwarts has an unparalleled advantage, that is, it has magic writing classes.

The school has never stopped studying runes, and the establishment of magic texts classes has continuously trained many outstanding alchemists in the British wizarding world.

This is the information that Lin Xia found out when he was investigating alchemy some time ago.

When I saw this introduction, the book also showed a rune number, which was a peculiar "1", representing the horn of a unicorn.

And this strange "1" appeared on the magic text array on the brick wall, and Lin Xia recognized it as runes.

She turned around and said, "Draco, have you finished writing your paper? We need to send it out as soon as possible. There is another important thing waiting for us."

……

Draco and Lin Xia went to the Great Hall. They hurriedly finished their dinner and summoned the owl to send the paper to "Invention and Research of Potion".

The paper is equipped with an anti-peeping spell. This spell is built into the paper and does not require a wizard to set it manually.

These paper papers are produced by major journals, and each journal has a corresponding curse.

If Lin Xia and Draco get their papers back in the future, they can know which journal has opened their papers through the papers.

In the wizarding world, ordinary wizards cannot read the paper. If it accidentally falls into their hands, the paper will be automatically destroyed.

And those journals that open the paper cannot keep it as their own based on their own reputation.

The wizarding world generally relies on this method to ensure the safety of papers.

Although Lin Xia feels that there is a lot of room for manipulation in this process, and it is easy to change papers, it would be better if there is a way that can be viewed online and published as soon as it is issued.

But since they all do it, just do as the Romans do.

Coming out of the auditorium, Lin Xia and Draco split into two groups.

One informed Professor Snape that the paper had been sent, and the other informed Dean Sprout of the findings in the laboratory.

Draco headed to Professor Snape's office and met Harry around the corner.

He was a little surprised: "Harry, why are you here?"

Harry's body tensed up, his expression a little nervous, and he said, "I want to find Professor Snape and get my jam bottle back."

Draco: "That's it. I'm sorry, I thought you were a little afraid of Professor Snape."

"I was quite afraid before, but Lin Xia said there was no need to be afraid. I went back and thought about it, and I felt that there was no need to be afraid of Professor Snape. I didn't do anything wrong."

He and Draco walked to the door and knocked, but no one answered.

Draco was about to continue knocking on the door, but when his hand tightened, the door was pushed open.

A terrible scene appeared in front of me——

There were only two people in the room, Snape and Filch. Snape had lifted his robes above his knees, and one of his legs was bloody and bloody.

Filch was handing him the bandage.

"Damn thing," Snee began, "How could you possibly be targeting three heads at once?"

Harry was excited and subconsciously wanted to close the door. Draco was also startled, but he grabbed Harry's hand, stopped his movement, and quickly said: "Professor!"

Snape quickly put down his robe to cover his injured leg. He looked very angry and his face was distorted with anger.

"What are you doing here!"

Harry said, "I wonder if I can get my jam jar back."

Draco said: "Professor, Lin Xia and I have finished writing our papers and sent them out. I came here specifically to tell you."

Snape first looked at Harry and said expressionlessly: "I have already taken care of that jam jar. Are you a three-year-old child or so poor that you can't even afford an empty jar? If you can't afford it, hurry up and go." Apply for subsidies for poor students.”

Then he looked at Draco and said mockingly: "Are you a child too? You're not even three years old? You just sent the paper and came to me. Do I have to wait for you to eat and drink milk?"

"You two, get out of here, get out!"

Draco and Harry quickly left the office and ran upstairs without waiting for him to shout out points.

When the crisis was over, Draco and Harry looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"Harry, if you need anything from Professor Snape in the future, you can call me."

"Aren't you worried about making a bad impression with the professor?"

"Don't worry, I'm almost done with Potions class anyway, and I know everything he taught me."

Harry was truly envious. Is this the confidence coming from a top student?
On the other side, Lin Xia found Dean Sprout. It was already eight o'clock in the evening when she went to the greenhouse.

Dean Sprout is taking care of the last few herbs and is preparing to leave soon.

When Lin Xia arrived, she happened to see her transplanting mandrakes.

The mandrake was uprooted and let out a fierce and harsh scream. Lin Xia felt her ears roaring, and she felt as if her soul was about to leave her body.

She frowned, covered her head with her hands, and cast a "listen with earplugs" spell on herself.

There was a fine buzzing in his ears, and thankfully, the piercing scream was finally not that annoying.

After Dean Sprout transplanted the mandrake, he turned around and was a little surprised to find Lin Xia coming to the office.

"Lin Xia, why are you here? It's very late now. It's not safe for you to leave Hogwarts."

Lin Xia: "Professor, there is a small problem in my laboratory. I need you to go take a look."

Dean Sprout readily agreed: "Okay, I'm going to check now. By the way, are your ears okay? That was the cry of mandrake just now. It will make a piercing scream when it is pulled out. Only those with weaker bodies will be harmed.”

Lin Xia shook his head: "It's okay."

The dean was still a little worried, so he picked off a mandrake leaf and handed it to her.

"Hold it in your mouth for a while, it can have a calming effect and eliminate the negative effects of screaming. You are still young and have low immunity. By the next school year, there will be no problem when you hear the cry of mandrake. .”

Although the greenhouse is very close to Hogwarts, it is still some distance outside the castle.

The dean looked at the Forbidden Forest in the distance, and he didn't know what he thought of. He said, "If you come to me in the evening for something, ask the lark to deliver a message to me. Don't come here in person."

She stressed: "Young wizards should not leave Hogwarts at night, it is not safe."

Lin Xia was a little strange. It was quiet outside Hogwarts at night, far away from the Forbidden Forest, and there were bright torches burning. What was unsafe about this?
She said: "Okay, Professor, I won't come to you personally next time."

The dean smiled with satisfaction.

She liked Lin Xia very much. She was smart and well-behaved, so she didn't need to waste much time talking.

It's not that she doesn't want to say some things, but it's useless to say them. It's better not to say them, at least the little wizard won't cause trouble for herself.

Arriving at the laboratory on the second floor, Draco was already standing outside waiting.

The dean walked in. This was her first time in Lin Xia's laboratory.

From site selection to decoration to formal establishment, she never came once.

This is also the style of many professors at Hogwarts. Unless they are really worried, they generally will not interfere in students' decisions.

As a senior level wizard, Dean Sprout immediately felt that there was more magic in the laboratory than in other classrooms, and praised:
"You chose this laboratory well. Not only is it large, but the layout is also reasonable and professional. If you tidy it up a little more and plant some magic plants in it, I'm afraid it will be no worse than my greenhouse."

Lin Xia smiled slyly: "Dean, even if we want to plant some, there is no place to buy them. How about you sponsor some for us?"

Draco nodded quickly and looked at the Dean eagerly.

Dean Sprout was unmoved. She had heard the same words many times from many potions masters.

However, she still gives preferential treatment to her students.

"What kind of magic plant do you want? Just tell me and I'll give it to you at the cost price."

"Long live the professor!" Lin Xia cheered happily.

Draco also cheered and clapped. He learned a lot from Lin Xia, and he also learned a lesson today.

It turns out that when facing your own dean, you can always get some benefits by acting coquettishly and cutely when you should.

It's great if you can buy it at cost price. If the professor says it's free, they won't dare to take it.

Dean Sprout patrolled around, and finally walked to the place where Lin Xia had done experiments before, and said firmly: "You came to me because of this thing."

The laboratory is well built, the only incongruity is the location.

Draco and Lin Xia did not reinstall the ceiling. There was such a large piece of ceiling missing in this area that you could see it at a glance.

"I suspect that the brick wall on the back of the wooden bow depicts a magic array that can gather magic power. I dare not move the wooden bow."

Dean Sprout's eyes flashed with thought, "The magic text array that gathers magic power, um, ancient magic text runes..."

She mused: "I haven't studied ancient magic texts deeply, so I regret that I can't give you more help, but the school has a special magic text professor—Professor Bathcida Babuling. I believe she can give you some help." A satisfactory answer.”

"In this case, I will ask Professor Babling to come over tomorrow. If this is really a magical array that gathers magic power, it will be a very important help to Hogwarts. Then I will help you apply for extra points for your level of treatment."

With Dean Sprout here, Lin Xia believes that he will be given what is due to him.

She wanted to know two other things more than this.

"Professor, can I get this wooden bow? Also, in exchange for discovering the magic text array, can I let the school get a magic text array for my laboratory to confine magic?"
