Chapter 152 Filch's Request

Lin Xia passed on another set of boxing to Draco.

In theory, boxing is generally more lethal, but this set of boxing is mainly for health preservation, which is the Tai Chi that Lin Xia often practices.

Balance and coordination are the way of boxing; tightness and looseness are the method of boxing; hardness and softness are the use of boxing; yin and yang are the merit of Tai Chi.

Draco has been restless recently, and practicing Tai Chi helps him to balance yin and yang, suppress the dryness in his body, and balance his overly strong liver fire.

Breaking through the realm requires a breath, but this breath is not dryness, but a kind of upward fighting in the heart.

Even if there is no suitable stage recently, Lin Xia does not recommend Draco to break through in this state.

Although according to the characteristics of "Purple Gold Mysterious Gang Secret Record", Draco has a high probability of success in breaking through in this state, but it will also damage the origin of the body.

If the foundation is damaged when it is most needed, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to make up for it later.

Although Lin Xia had not experienced this, she had seen too many such cases in her family in her previous life.

After teaching Draco, Hermione came late.

Lin Xia looked at the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock in the evening. She said, "You don't have to come to the laboratory so late in the future. It's too rushed."

Hermione smiled and said, "No, I enjoy it. I like this sense of fulfillment."

Lin Xia saw that she didn't look reluctant, so she didn't persuade her anymore. Some people looked busy, but they were happy.

And some people were playing badly, but they felt very guilty.

After a while, the door bell rang, and Lin Xia and others packed up the experimental equipment and prepared to leave the laboratory.

These days, [Natural Wand] has made some progress. Everyone came to the laboratory to do research in their free time, hoping to get results as soon as possible, so they always left when the door was closed.

And among them, I also met Filch.

At the beginning, everyone was embarrassed when they met for the first time. They didn't know what to say, but Filch actually ignored them and passed by them.

This made Lin Xia and others' favorable impression of Filch soar, and they felt that Filch was not as bad as they imagined.

Until one time, Draco saw Filch privately punishing those little wizards who were caught for night wandering and intimidating them. Hogwarts used to have whipping, and he still thinks that this punishment should not be abolished.

Draco overturned his original idea and said to Lin Xia and Hermione: "Filch is just special to us, but he is still very bad."

Hermione analyzed: "I also think he has a bad character. It is impossible for a person to be good to another person for no reason. I wonder if he has something to ask of us, or has he gained any benefits from us?"

For a moment, Lin Xia and Draco thought of one thing.

Draco: "Um... I gave him dozens of gold Galleons and asked him to help with the decoration of the laboratory. Does this count as a benefit?"

Hermione said uncertainly: "It should be counted."

Lin Xia had another guess, "Filch has been in Hogwarts for so many years, his salary should not be less.

If he went for the gold Galleons, then why would he, a Squib, need so many gold Galleons? He is not a wizard, so he doesn't need to buy many magic tools."

Hermione blinked and said jokingly: "We have a laboratory and are serious researchers. He shouldn't have anything for us to study, so he treats us specially, right?"

Hit the nail on the head!

No one thought that Hermione would hit the nail on the head for the joke she made during the previous chat.

Just today, after they left the laboratory, they met Filch and Mrs. Norris on the second floor again.

At the same time, Filch was followed by Professor Quirrell and...

"Mickle!"

Hermione asked in surprise: "Why are you still outside? Are you out at night?"

Mickle coughed, "Hermione, before you ask this question, why don't you think about yourself first? Why are you out at night?"

Hermione said frankly: "I didn't go out at night. I stayed in the laboratory all the time and left the laboratory when I heard the door bell ring. Recently, the laboratory has reached a critical place, so I can only spend more time to do the data. What about you?"

Mickle: "I was discussing a magic problem with Professor Quirrell. I accidentally forgot the time. I was about to go back and met Administrator Filch."

Lin Xia didn't talk to Draco, but just looked at Filch silently.

Filch spoke slowly: "Go back quickly, this won't happen again, I'll put you in detention if I see you again. And you, Professor Quirrell--"

He looked at Quirrell with a pale face, his eyes gloomy: "You are a professor, you should know the rules of Hogwarts better than the students, after half past nine, students are not allowed to go out."

Quirrel stuttered back: "I, I know, I, I'm just going to send Mikkel back."

Everyone said goodbye to each other in front of the magic elevator on the second floor. Lin Xia and Draco didn't need to take the elevator, but went directly to the wooden barrel near the kitchen.

When choosing the laboratory, Lin Xia considered choosing one that was close to the dormitory and classroom.

Now it seems that it is really convenient.

But the two didn't expect that Filch didn't patrol other floors, but echoed on the second floor and followed them.

When the curfew time came, Hogwarts became quiet.

The corridor was empty, and no little wizard appeared, which made the "creaking, creaking" sound of the oil lamp shaking behind the two people particularly obvious.

Arriving in front of the barrel, Lin Xia turned around, looked at Filch, and nodded: "Administrator Filch, thank you for your escort. Hogwarts is safe. You don't have to do this next time."

Draco suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that Fei Er was strange today, but Lin Xia explained it like this, and it made sense.

Filch was following them, actually escorting them?

But both of them are wizards, and Filch is just a squib. Do they still need Filch to escort them?

Draco couldn't help but glance at Lin Xia.

Having already received the heir course, he understands many truths. Perhaps, is this what his father said - the art of speaking?

Filch's gloomy eyes looked at Lin Xia, and for a while, his gloomy and hoarse voice sounded.

"Witch Lin Xia, how is your research going?"

Lin Xia nodded: "It's okay, Administrator Filch. If you have anything to say, you can just say it. You don't have to play charades with me."

Filch was silent for a while, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xia.

"If you have time, I hope you can study this, I-I-"

He paused, his voice hoarse: "I will work hard to reward you."

Lin Xia looked down and saw that the piece of paper said:
