Chapter 177 The Witches of Beauxbatons

the next day.

Lin Xia went to Professor McGonagall to give a report.

Lin Xia can make a perfect report without the need for the professor to specify the format.

Professor McGonagall looked at Lin Xia's paper, and a smile appeared on his serious face.

"You seem to have gained a lot from reading the forbidden books. I thought you would be unsettled because of the various strange phenomena that occurred when you read the forbidden books."

Lin Xia smiled and thought of the scene when she was reading before. The banned books always made all kinds of pranks to scare her, and said in agreement: "That was indeed a wonderful experience."

If Professor McGonagall knew that Lin Xia only thought those visions were "pranks", he probably wouldn't be so reassured about Lin Xia.

Maybe they'll ask her to take a psychological test.

Professor McGonagall put down the paper: "I see that your paper is all about magic and the origin process of magic, and thoughts on certain special phenomena. So, do you have different thoughts on transfiguration?"

Lin Xia said without hesitation: "Yes!"

She took out her wand and waved it at one of the boulders.

After a while, a lifelike tiger appeared in front of Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall observed it for a long time, and became more and more satisfied with it.

She felt that Lin Xia's previous attainments in transformation were already the limit that the little wizard could reach.

But now the transformation technique used by Lin Xia can actually go further!

This is incredible!

In the eyes of Professor McGonagall, Lin Xia definitely has the talent for transfiguration that Dumbledore had when he was young.

Especially after seeing Lin Xia transform into this tiger, she even had other ideas.

Perhaps Lin Xia's talent is higher than Dumbledore's?

As soon as this idea appeared, she was horrified.

Professor McGonagall calmed down and said: "I will give you the process of the Transfiguration Competition over the years later, so you can prepare in advance. But for you, there is actually no need to prepare anything, you just need to perform normally. "

If she wanted to leave it to Cedric, she would be nervous and give him a surprise training.

But when it came to Lin Xia, Mag didn't worry about anything.

She was only a little worried.

Will the transfiguration judges over there think that Lin Xia's talent for transfiguration is too good and that she has resorted to some abnormal means?

For this reason, Mag decided to make some necessary safety preparations.

Another four or five days of rest.

Lin Xia followed Professor McGonagall and Dean Sprout on a trip to France.

Paris is a very romantic city.

When Lin Xia and others arrived, they happened to encounter a large store holding an event, and sweet and delicious biscuits were distributed throughout the street.

But Lin Xia smelled the biscuits and felt that they were full of perfume.

And the smell is a bit familiar.

Mag and Sprout sang along without any surprise.

"What flavor will it be changed to this time?"

"Hmm, it sounds like the scent of a new shampoo."

"Haha, it's even more inaccessible."

"Why do they always have to try this weird thing? Can't they just make biscuits taste like normal?"

"No, Mag, you don't understand. It's important to try." The dean winked at the two of them and took a bite of the biscuit without changing his expression.

Lin Xia hesitated for a few seconds and finally decided to give up.

I can't eat it.

Suddenly many colorful balloons floated in the sky.

When the two professors saw the balloons, they quietly used magic to hold three of them in their hands.

In the eyes of Muggles, these three balloons suddenly fell and were picked up by three people.

Lin Xia held a red balloon in her hand, which was specially chosen for her by the dean, while the two professors held blue balloons.

Walking through the Champs-Élysées, on the corner, there was a place with a trash can.

This trash can is very clean and there is no garbage in it. It is more like a landmark.

But as soon as he stepped into a certain area, Lin Xia noticed some kind of invisible barrier.

She said thoughtfully: "Professor, can't Muggles see this trash can?"

McGonagall nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the Muggle avoidance spell is set on the trash can, and they will automatically avoid this place."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Since Muggles will automatically avoid this place, why do you want to set the entrance to look like a trash can?"

Is this trash can a custom in the wizarding world?

She remembered several passages leading to the wizarding world, none of them fancy, just ordinary.

The dean said with a smile: "Although the avoidance spell is set up, it is not effective for all Muggles. Some Muggles can see the squibs in the trash can. If the entrance is designed too well, it is very likely that there will be squibs." Breaking in by mistake.”

Lin Xia nodded, "So that's it."

As soon as I got close to the trash can, I felt a suction force.

The next second, Lin Xia's body seemed to be stuffed into a washing machine and rolled around. Even with her strong physique, it was a bit unbearable.

Lin Xia thought that if there was a chance in the future, she would invent a magic spell that could pass smoothly and reduce the pain of moving.

My eyes suddenly opened up, laughter and laughter came, and the smell in the air was sweet.

Lin Xia saw many girls wearing blue silk skirts. They all wore white lace hats and were laughing and playing in the hot summer.

Suddenly, Lin Xia noticed that one of the girls had a wand in her hand.

She had never seen this wand before, it was a different style from the British one.

There are three stars on the top of the wand, and the clothes they wear have two golden crossed wands on the chest.

"Hello, Mag, long time no see!"

A short-haired white-haired grandma wearing a gorgeous dark blue dress appeared in front of the two of them.

She also wore small pendants and accessories, and her hair was specially styled to make her look elegant and fashionable.

On her chest, she also has the same logo as the other girls.

"Oh, this is..."

The old lady looked at the dean with doubts in her eyes.

Sprout introduced his name, and then said: "I am the professor of Herbology at Hogwarts and the dean of Hufflepuff House. The students from my house who came to participate in the competition this time - —Lin Xia.”

Lin Xia stood up and nodded politely: "Hello."

The old lady gave her a hug warmly.

"Good boy, you look really shy. Don't be so shy. Just treat this place as your home. Let me introduce you..."

The old lady called over some girls, and through some introductions, Lin Xia found out that they were students from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The old lady asked: "Where's Furong? Wasn't she still here just now?"

One girl curled her lips and said, "Let's go play with boys again. Furong doesn't even like playing with us!"

The old woman frowned, and the other girls touched the girl who was talking.

The old lady said calmly: "Get Furong here for me and tell her that a guest has arrived."

"Furong" was away, and Lin Xia was playing with the other witches in Beauxbatons.

She seemed to be very popular with the witches.

Lin Xia was still young and looked delicate, like a Barbie doll, which immediately aroused the desire to dress up in these little witches.

Because of their bloodline, even witches of the same age as Lin Xia look two or three years older than Lin Xia.

Some witches even asked Lin Xia: "Does Hogwarts start enrolling students at the age of six? Why do you look so similar to my six-year-old sister?"

Lin Xia explained dumbfounded: "I am almost 12 years old, I just look young."

After waiting and waiting, I finally got the "hibiscus" that the old lady called me.

After Lin Xia saw Furong, she realized why the old woman insisted on letting Furong receive the guests. She was so beautiful.

Even if they are both women, she can't help but stare at her.

Furong has waist-length golden hair and green eyes that sparkle with silver light. When she looks at people, she will have a very affectionate feeling.

The appearance has reached the level of perfection, and even the spirit may be bewitched. Lin Xia immediately realized that Furong might have the blood of some kind of magical creature.

Fleur looked her up and down, the hostility in her eyes gradually dissipating.

Although Lin Xia is good-looking, she is still just a child.

She held her head high and said proudly: "Let me take you for a stroll. We have a lot of fun things here, which are no worse than your UK!"

The other little witches glanced at Fleur and turned away, not paying much attention to her.

Lin Xia was dragged away by Furong, but the little witches didn't respond at all. It seemed that reception was something that Furong did exclusively.

The two little witches walked to a remote place. The smile on Fleur's face disappeared instantly and she said coldly:

"Grandma asked me to reveal some rules of the competition venue to you, but I am not happy at all. We finally won the championship. If we hold the competition here and have the home field advantage, why should we help you?"

She added: "I heard from others that your British team won the championship before, but if you went to compete in the UK, you never revealed the problem to us, so this time-"

Lin Xia interrupted her: "You can follow your heart and say whatever you want. Even if you don't want to say it, I won't say another word."

Fleur looked at her suspiciously, "Really?"

Lin Xia smiled slightly, "Do you still want me to swear?"

Furong lowered her head and thought for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and reluctantly told her:

"I'm not afraid of you. I don't want to disappoint grandma. As hosts, we need to be like hosts. That's why we specifically revealed the topic to you and stand on the same starting line as you."

She paused and said quickly: "This transformation competition is related to the birds in the sky!"

After saying that, she left immediately, walking as fast as a rabbit.

Lin Xia stood there, looking at her back thoughtfully.

Fleur left and she returned to the group of little witches.

The little witches had clear grudges. Although they hated Furong, they did not hate Lin Xia and they still played with her happily.

Professor McGonagall and Dean Sprout exchanged silent glances with each other while chatting with the Beauxbatons people.

At night, they stayed in an exquisite hotel.

After the old lady and her group left, Professor McGonagall cast a confusion spell in the room and looked at Lin Xia.

"Tell me, you've been asking for information for a day. What useful information did you get?"

Lin Xia smiled. It was normal for her little thoughts to be hidden from the professor.

In Hogwarts, she did research all day long and had no interest in playing with Barbie toys or dolls.

I came to France for no reason, and suddenly I felt like a different person.

The reason why Lin Xia cooperated to infiltrate the inside was to get information.

This was something she had discussed with the two professors before coming here.

She recalled what she saw and heard today and said: "Fu Rong seems difficult to get along with, but she is actually very easy to figure out."

"She is arrogant and disdains to tell lies. The inside information she told me should be true. If it is false, then the news that Furong heard is also false, but she thought it was true."

Lin Xia changed the subject, "It is the other little witches who came to play with me who have been asking me for information. Some asked about the secret passages and layouts of Hogwarts, and some asked about Harry.

They also asked me about me. I revealed some information appropriately, and they stopped asking me."

The dean asked curiously: "What did you reveal? After all, you are a little inventor with two papers, so it should be worth asking."

Lin Xia said: "My research process is boring. I just talked to them for a while, and they didn't want to listen."

If there were little witches from Beauxbatons here, they would definitely say with grievance: "This is not a discussion at all. This is clearly dragging them to do research!"

When Lin Xia talked about research, she had a set of ideas.

It sounded interesting at first, but as I listened, I had to answer Lin Xia's questions for no reason.

It would be fine if the questions were simple, but they were more difficult than the other.

Even the top students of Beauxbatons need to think for a long time to figure it out.

After several difficult questions, the little witch really had no interest in listening to the laboratory.

Lin Xia said slowly: "I told them that my first transformation into a magical creature was without attributes, and they immediately lost interest in me."

Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "I heard that Beauxbatons has a set of methods to test the attributes of wizards, so it can always accurately select the attributes of magical creatures suitable for wizards.

In the past, Hogwarts would do some exchanges with Beauxbatons, allowing outstanding students to come here to test their attributes.

But later we found that this kind of attribute test could not be 100% correct. After wizards became adults, they gradually had magical conflicts and cut off communication with Beauxbatons."

Lin Xia understood something, "But if you want to exert the power of Transfiguration in the early stage, finding a magical creature with attributes is the easiest way to produce qualitative changes."

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering.

No wonder the students of Beauxbatons see Transfiguration as a piece of cake. If every wizard participating in the competition chooses a magical creature with attributes, the bonus will be huge.

The dean said, "The news is similar to what we expected. Furong's words can be trusted.

We will be wary of each other in small ways, but we exchange information in big ways. In the past, when Britain won the championship, Hogwarts would send someone to leak the test questions to them."

Lin Xia thought of what Furong said.

I don't know how she misunderstood, but it's a pity that her brain... seems to be all about appearance.

A few days passed.

Lin Xia stayed in the hotel all the time, staying at home and not going out.

The students of Beauxbatons asked her out several times, but she refused to come out, so they didn't bother her anymore.

Soon, the "Today's Transfiguration" competition finally started!
