112 The end of summer vacation
On August 8, one day passed since the Quidditch World Cup.
Schelling put down the "Daily Prophet" in his hand.
The cover of the Daily Prophet featured a frightening black and white photograph of the Dark Mark hanging from the treetops, with the headline: "Horror at the Quidditch World Cup".
This article was written by Rita Skeeter, and the words are very sensational, and some unproven and terrible conjectures such as "it is rumored to say..." "It is rumored to..." have been added in key places.
"Dark Mark reappeared... Ministry of Magic panicked... Criminals not caught... Law and order lax... Dark wizards at large... Disgrace to the country...Wizards waiting outside the woods panicked, hoping for Ministry comfort. Sadly, they were disappointed. Shortly after the Dark Mark appeared, a Ministry official showed up and declared that no one had been harmed, but declined to say more. Would his words be enough to quell rumors that several bodies had been brought out of the woods an hour later , remains to be observed.”
The second article mentioned the rumors about the Dark Mark and the elves of the Crouch family.It has to be said that Rita Skeeter is really capable. Only a few officials of the Ministry of Magic knew about the incident in the woods, so she wrote it out of nowhere, but it was almost the same as the real situation.
"It is rumored that the Dark Mark was issued by a house elf... The Ministry of Magic's list of Death Eaters does not contain any elves... Coincidentally, the house elves of the Crouch family were given clothes and dismissed on the same day... As we all know, the son of old Barty Crouch was a Death Eater and committed heinous crimes..."
The third article was a short article, which mentioned the disappearance of Meredith Shafik, the first daughter of the Shafik family. Although "Shadow of the Dragon" was not mentioned, it also criticized the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic, which caused the last bloodline of an ancient family to suffer.
The fourth article is much more interesting. It mentions the presence of werewolves at this World Cup, which are suspected to be related to this Death Eater riot.As we all know, werewolves were under the command of You-Know-Who during the First Wizarding War.However, what is strange is that this time the werewolves attacked the camp of the Lestrange family, and brutally killed more than a dozen clansmen who came to watch the World Cup. The only survivor, Gallup Lestrange, who was still studying at Hogwarts, was bitten and turned into a werewolf.
When Xie Lin read this, he sneered, these are of course Xie Lin's handwriting, and he has not forgotten the incident of being attacked by Gemma back then.
He strictly followed Lucius' orders and did not do anything to those pure-blood families, but even if he couldn't do it himself, it didn't mean he couldn't do anything.
This attack was carefully planned. First, Batori and Anis personally took action to capture some lone werewolves in Knockturn Alley. As the mortal enemy of werewolves, Batori could easily distinguish werewolves even if they were still in an ordinary state.
Then, Anis controlled the group of werewolves to attack Lestrange's camp by using the mind-control magic unique to hags. Among the werewolves who attacked at night were many elite blood-sucking royals and hags.
The werewolf family has a close relationship with the Rolle family in the pure-blood family, which is just right to sow discord and create suspicion between the Rolle family and the Lestrange family.
And the werewolf family will also arouse the disgust of the general public because of the atrocities exposed in the news reports this time, and suppress the arrogance of the Luoer family by the way.
Counting revenge, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
Schelling snapped his fingers and summoned Dobby. He knew that Dobby and Winky knew each other, and he wanted Dobby to bring Winky to him.Dobby has been working with Schelling for a long time, and his handling of things has become more and more agile. Within a few hours, he brought Winky over.
Because of being dismissed, Shining drank to drink away his worries every day. At this moment, his eyes were still full of drunkenness, and he sat on the ground with his whole body slumped, still murmuring to himself in a low voice.
"Winky, look into my eyes!" Schelling ordered sternly.
Twinkle, who was already half drunk, unconsciously met Xie Lin's gaze for a moment. Xie Lin's pupils were as deep as a bottomless black hole, and Shining felt that his whole mind was being sucked into the black hole uncontrollably.
"Xinxi, look into my eyes, you have to answer my question honestly."
"Look into the eyes... answer the questions..."
"You were originally a house-elf of the Crouch family?"
"Yes... I am the elf of the Crouch family, and I have served the Crouch master for three generations..."
"You defied the will of Barty Crouch! You are a vile elf who betrayed his master!"
"No...I'm not...I'm not..." Shining cried out in pain, and her whole body began to tremble.
"Tell me—is Barty Crouch Jr. still alive! Was he the one who released the Dark Mark that night!"
"Ah—" Shining let out a heart-piercing scream. She grabbed her neck and kept hitting the floor with her head.But the floor had already been cast with a softening spell, and she was completely unharmed.
"Don't resist my will! You bad elf! It was you—you persuaded old Barty to take his son to the World Cup! It was you who failed to take good care of little Barty and let him escape! You picked up the wand indiscriminately! You made Crouch subject to investigation by the Ministry of Magic! You shamed the Crouch family!"
"Ah—I'm not—I didn't...I swear...I..."
"Don't resist! Think of Mrs. Crouch before she died! Remember her expectation! Remember her expression!"
Shining's expression suddenly changed to fear and panic, and she trembled even more violently.
"If you feel scared and ashamed, you are a sinful person. No one will need such a vicious little elf like you...Only me, I can help you, free from this guilt, as long as you become my slave!"
"Yes... Winky is a sinner... Winky is a slave..."
"Remember your new master's name, I'm Sherin Malfoy!"
Winky knelt down on the ground, crawled to Xie Lin's feet, and said in a trembling voice: "Sherin Malfoy... my master... please accept Winky... please accept your humble servant... Winky is willing to follow you, willing to die for you, willing to do anything for you!"
"Really?" Xie Lin's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Even if you kill Crouch?"
Winky trembled even more, but she still replied, "Yes, my only master, even if I kill Crouch..." After saying this, the guilt and fear in Winky's heart disappeared, and her heart was suddenly filled with joy, as if she had regained a new life. She looked at Schelling with fanaticism, wishing to capture the old Barty's family in front of her master and kill her immediately, so as to express her loyalty.
"Very well, from today onwards, you are my third servant!"
["Servant" wins! 】
Since Meredith disappeared, Xie Lin found that his magic power had skyrocketed, and his attainments in soul magic had grown overnight.It can be seen from the fact that he can brainwash two house elves into his servants without any effort.
Xie Lin looked at his hands, the turbulent and tumbling magic power was mixed with the looming black energy.
Is this because my evil thoughts are growing?Are you going to go down the dark road after all?
If it were Schelling in the past, he would be more inclined to be kind to the elves in order to win their loyalty.Now that he believed in the power of magic even more, he became more like Voldemort in a way.
I just hope I never get to that step...
Schelling sighed, and the faces of Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, Daphne, Meredith, and Astoria flashed in his mind one by one, and the final picture was frozen on the last page of "Abatere Volume [-]: Soul Chapter", on which it was written crookedly in distorted fonts——
If you want to increase the power of your soul, the fastest and most effective way is to kill the love in your heart with your own hands...
So, is this the source of Dumbledore's strength...
Xie Lin wrote a letter to his family, and he would not go back to the Green Manor during the remaining summer holidays before school started.
He asked Dobby to run errands to Diagon Alley for himself, and bought all the textbooks and potion ingredients needed for the start of school. By the way, he also ordered a set of dresses and robes for the ball for Schelling—yes, Schelling decided to participate in the Goblet of Fire competition.Using the Goblet of Fire competition as a pretense, in addition to allowing him to avoid the final exam, he could justifiably ask the professors for various advanced magic, so that he can also study high-level magic openly from now on.
Harry in the original book, after the baptism of the Goblet of Fire, the use of various spells and actual combat ability have improved by leaps and bounds.And if he can win the Goblet of Fire in the end, his reputation can be improved again, and it is an international reputation.
Schelling also used Gallon, who had won in the World Cup, to make good use of it.
Xie Lin, who lived in the Muggle world in his previous life, is well aware of the hidden profits behind the beauty market, and he had the idea of getting involved in the field of beauty potions very early on.
The market for beauty potions in the UK is currently dominated by Ms. Pripinall of Diagon Alley, best known for her wart remedies, and the Tugwood family for her pimple remedies.
The author of "The Book of Potions", Zygmunt Bach, also invented a potion called "Beautification Potion".This potion is not a beauty potion in the strict sense, it cannot change the appearance, it can only make the user's appearance full of charm, and the effect is also temporary, once you stop taking it, it will be revealed.
Almost all of the beauty potions in the hands of the Tugwood family were handed down more than 30 years ago by Chocolate Frog celebrity Sacrisa Tugwood.Her descendants obviously did not inherit her potion talent, and they have not made any improvements to the formula for so many years, so the patent right of the formula was terminated more than ten years ago.
Schelling hooked up with the Tugwood family through Gareth's contacts, and bought all the research notes on beauty potions in their family's collection for 2000 Galleons. The Tugwood family was overjoyed that these waste papers that fell in the corner and ate dust could be sold for a good price, and did not realize the value behind this knowledge at all.
Schelling is well aware of the importance of appearance to women, and the biggest natural enemy of women is not sarcoma or pimples, but aging.What Xie Lin wanted to develop was a potion that would make people look ageless. If this was successful, he believed it would be an unprecedented business venture.

During this period of time, Schelling also practiced actual combat with Daphne and Astoria.
Since Meredith was taken away, the two girls knew that if they wanted to share the burden for their boyfriend, they needed stronger strength. Therefore, the two sisters have also practiced extremely hard these days. Whether it is in the knowledge of magic theory or the skills of using spells, they have made significant and considerable progress.
In addition, Schelling also told the two sisters about his plans for this semester.
He intends to formally form a student organization to follow him.
He has already thought of the name of the organization, and it is called "Mianlong Club", which means that the sleeping dragon does not disturb, and those who disturb it will be angry.
The two sisters can take advantage of the appeal of the Greengrass family to absorb low-grade students to join the organization, and select the best to train them to create their own forces.
In order to avoid attracting Dumbledore's attention, Schelling planned to make Daphne the leader on the bright side, while Schelling retreated behind the scenes and acted in secret.The two sisters have already devoted their hearts and souls to Xie Lin, and they will be willing to cooperate unconditionally no matter what plan Xie Lin has.
The three of them often discussed the plan together during the vacation, perfecting and supplementing various details until the whole plan was completed.
(1) In the original book, Rita didn't find out about Shining.This has nothing to do with the main character.Readers can understand the butterfly effect brought about by the protagonist's series of actions, and more and more things that do not follow the original plot will happen one by one.
(2) It doesn't matter whether Dumbledore killed his sister Ariana, what is important is that he "may" be the one who killed her sister, and what led to the enhancement of the soul agitation was actually the extreme emotion.
(3) Dumbledore made up his mind to let go of his feelings for Grindelwald, and chose to stand up and beat him to ruin. This is another example of soul stirring
