Chapter 196 The irritable Whomping Willow and the well-planned Lin Xia

Under a violent shaking, it was difficult for everyone to think, and it was good enough to maintain self-protection.

"Bang!!!"

A twisted thick branch smashed a big hole in the car door, and countless small branches as thick as finger joints launched a fierce attack like hail.

The fine and dense branches hit down, shaking the windshield.

The Whomping Willow seemed to be stimulated.

It changed from a calm and peaceful tree to an offensive mode, a bit like the war giant tree that Lin Xia saw in the magic book, showing its cruelty.

Suddenly, a branch as thick as a battering ram was hitting the roof of the car crazily, making a very rhythmic "bang, bang, bang" sound.

The people in the car also began to shake, and even their bodies floated up from time to time.

Bang, bang, bang!

"No, we have to get out, otherwise we will be hit to death by the Disturbance Willow, and the car can't bear it!" Ron shouted.

In a panic, Lin Xia cast an armor spell at the car.

The Armor Charm is a spell of medium difficulty, but it is not easy to use it in such an uneasy situation.

A faint light flashed by.

One attack of the Whomping Willow was blocked.

But it can only be blocked once, not the second time.

Lin Xia followed up with another Armor Charm to resist the Whomping Willow's attack again.

"Hurry up and find a way. I can't always block its attack. The Whomping Willow is too powerful. My magic power will be exhausted soon!"

Ron wanted to open the car door.

But the car door seemed to be welded shut. Not only could it not be opened, but a thick branch smashed the glass window and hit his face.

"Armor Charm!"

This time it was Draco who saved Ron, saving Ron from a vicious uppercut from the Whomping Willow.

"We're done!"

Ron was the first to break down emotionally. Looking at the collapsed roof, he moaned weakly.

However, perhaps Lin Xia's continuous armor spells saved the car from damage, and the car barely recovered some power.

Its engine started again!

The car quickly rolled down from the branches of the Whomping Willow and fled the scene in no time.

The Whomping Willow wanted to chase them, desperately stretching its branches to whip the fleeing car.

But the car was very fast, and it narrowly escaped the maximum attack range of the Whomping Willow at the last second.

"Good job, the car!"

Ron collapsed in the chair, panting, and said in shock.

Harry took a few deep breaths, "It was really too close just now!"

But before they could react, the car that had recovered its power seemed to have reached its limit.

It made two "bangs", the car door opened automatically, and everyone was ejected.

The next second, the little wizard's luggage was also thrown out, and even the trunk was opened, and things were thrown out desperately.

Harry's Hedwig was also thrown out, but fortunately, its cage was opened, so it flew out by itself.

After the flying car threw everything out, it rumbled into the darkness with big holes all over its body and billowing steam, its taillights still flashing angrily.

"Come back!" Ron waved his wand and shouted, "Dad will kill me!"

But the car just sprayed the last breath of exhaust gas and disappeared into the endless night.

The next second, Ron's wand also broke.

It didn't break completely, and there was still a little bit hanging on it, like Nick's ghost who almost lost his head.

Ron widened his eyes, wrinkled his face, and said very sadly: "My wand..."

Lin Xia: "Well, the focus of our concern now is not here. Have you thought about how to deal with the professor?"

Just in front, Filch and Mrs. Norris looked down at them with a proud face.

Behind Filch, the deans of the four major colleges also walked slowly, looking at them and the Whomping Willow behind them in shock.

Professor McGonagall walked quickly, with an extremely serious face: "Little wizards, you should give us an explanation after the welcome party is over.

Now, immediately, return to your seats in the college, especially the two of you - Draco and Lin Xia. As outstanding first-year students, you two need to go on stage to give speeches.

Hogwarts has sent you a letter in advance. Are you ready?"

Lin Xia and Draco immediately straightened their attitudes, straightened their backs and said seriously: "Ready, professor."

The group entered Hogwarts.

Today's welcome party is as lively as imagined.

Countless candles stopped in the air, illuminating the four long tables full of people, and shining on the golden plates and goblets.

The ceiling was full of stars, and was cast with a special magic.

Just like their welcome party last year, it was grand and solemn.

Such a beautiful view, you will never get tired of it even if you see it every day.

When Lin Xia and the others entered, they happened to see Ginny testing the Sorting Hat.

The shabby, patched, dirty hat shouted loudly: "Gryffindor!" as soon as it touched Ginny's Weasley hair.

Ron had not yet returned to the Gryffindor table. Hearing this, he cheered and applauded, and said happily to his friends around him:

"I knew Ginny would be sorted into Gryffindor. Our whole family has Gryffindor blood, brave and fearless."

Draco complained: "Just a little brainless."

Ron: "Then you Slytherins are definitely not there--"

He stopped talking mid-sentence, almost forgetting that Draco was not sorted into Slytherin, but Hufflepuff.

It's really strange that he, a pure-blood family, was not sorted into Hufflepuff!

Lin Xia added with a smile: "What is certain is that you are probably not as good at eating as Hufflepuff."

Not long after Lin Xia and Draco sat down, the professor called them to the stage to give a speech.

Receiving the honor badge in the first grade is a very special honor. Although it is not "unprecedented" and it may not be "unprecedented", it is indeed a big event.

They are accustomed to writing essays, and writing some Mandarin is easy for them.

After the two men finished their speeches.

Dumbledore suddenly appeared, knocked on the glass as usual, and announced that the banquet had officially begun.

Happy time always passes quickly.

After the banquet, the freshmen, led by their prefects, returned to the dormitories of their respective colleges.

Lin Xia, Draco, Ron, and Harry had to silently go to Professor McGonagall's office to explain why they drove over in a car and even pestered the Whomping Willow.

Opening the door, the deans of the four major colleges gathered together, and Professor Snape even said:

"The whomping willow tree in front of the school is extremely precious. The bits of skin scraped off from it are high-grade materials and are the neutralizing agent for many high-grade magic potions.

Do you deserve the damage you caused to the Whomping Willow? "

Professor McGonagall said with a long face: "Snape, let's first listen to why they came to school on a magic speeder."

Snape snorted coldly, "What's so good about this? It's nothing more than the famous Harry Potter. He and his friends didn't think the train was exciting enough. In order to attract attention and have fun, they took the magic speeding car. come over."

Lin Xia's voice was calm and steady, "Professor Snape, I can explain this to you. We didn't come here on purpose without taking the train."

She took out a magic photo recorder from her wizard's robe.

It recorded that she, Harry and others planned to pass the King's Platform, but in the end they were blocked by a solid wall.

This scene surprised everyone else.

Even Draco didn't know when Lin Xia recorded it.

Professor Snape frowned, and Dean Sprout asked: "Lin Xia, do you know who cast magic on this wall?"

Harry looked at Lin Xia nervously.

For some reason, he didn't want Lin Xia to mention the house elf named "Dobby".

Lin Xia shook his head: "I don't know. There are a lot of Muggles over there, and we can't use magic. We can't find out at all. Maybe there are some potential enemies targeting us."

Professor McGonagall's face became solemn, "You have arrived at Hogwarts, don't worry, this is the safest place in the wizarding world."

With the help of the magic photo machine, Lin Xia successfully explained that they had no choice but to take the magic speed car.

And Ron was also trying his best to explain how old the magic speed car was, and it always broke down when driving.

"There is an invisible boost button inside. We pressed it while driving, but the speeding car reappeared several times. At that time, we didn't know what to do. We could only press it repeatedly until it appeared again. Invisible.”

Snape's intuition was always so sharp and he asked to the point:

"Did you drive in Muggle territory, and then the speed of the car was seen by Muggles?"

Ron and Harry looked at each other, and Ron plucked up the courage and said, "Professor, we are at the King's Platform, which is originally Muggle territory. The speed car fails, and sometimes we have nothing to do."

The four deans all touched their foreheads with some headaches. Professor McGonagall said solemnly: "The Ministry of Magic has strict supervision on this part. You may have been filmed."

She turned around and looked at Professor Filius Flitwick, the Head of Ravenclaw.

"Is there any way you can get in touch with the newspaper and intercept this news?"

Professor Flitwick has long been a contributor to major newspapers.

However, his manuscript is not interesting, but has a strong popularization of magic science. By the way, he also talks about some less popular but very practical magic spells.

Professor Flitwick said solemnly: "I will contact you now, but given the nature of the newspaper, they probably won't miss such a publicity opportunity."

Professor McGonagall said decisively: "Then you can let them publish it, but not on the headlines, only in some remote corners."

Professor Flitwick's solemn look faded a bit, "This should be no problem."

Professor McGonagall looked at the little wizard again, her eyes especially wandering over Harry and Ron.

"You two..."

She paused for a moment, and then said, "Let's stay in confinement for a few days. We don't have to go to the Forbidden Forest, and we can just clean the prize display room!"

Ron grimaced: "Professor, last year we cleaned the prize display room for several days. I almost wrote down the names of all the people who won awards there. Can you change the place?"

Professor McGonagall said with a cold face: "Then memorize the spell for me and memorize thirty pages of how to use the transfiguration spell. I will randomly check one page of yours every day!"

Harry and Ron's expressions became even more ugly.

They consider themselves to be poor academics and have little interest in learning.

The only good thing is that Draco and Lin Xia received the same punishment as them, and the professor did not favor anyone.

But after leaving the office.

Ron and Harry found that Draco and Lin Xia could memorize the thirty pages of content only by reviewing it a few times, which was a little sad.

They were not Hermione, but they were just as shocked as Hermione.

After the little wizard left, a man suddenly appeared in Professor McGonagall's office. That man was the headmaster Dumbledore!

He had been using the invisibility spell and watching everything in the office.

His sudden appearance gave the four professors a surprise.

Professor Snape said coldly: "Headmaster, it seems that the schedule of the Ministry of Magic is not so busy. You haven't left Hogwarts yet."

Dumbledore's blue eyes were hidden under the half-moon glasses. He smiled and said:

"Snape, I still have one night in Hogwarts. I wanted to save the little wizards when they were in trouble, but I didn't expect that they did a good job unexpectedly."

He turned around and looked at Professor Flitwick: "I will solve the newspaper issue. You don't need to contact the newspaper."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout both nodded in thanks.

Dumbledore said again: "The little wizards are so full of energy. Seeing them always reminds me of my youth. I believe that under the right guidance, the little wizards will go in the right direction. We need to be more patient with them."

On the other side, Lin Xia returned to the golden wooden house.

She lowered her head and stared at her wrist, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

When she entered the professor's office, her wrist was slightly hot.

But it didn't feel like something was attracting her, but more like a resistance caused by encountering some powerful existence.

She put this matter in her heart, took out the secret key, and connected to the excellent student channel of Hogwarts.

It is difficult to gather the materials for the resurrection pet egg. There are many materials that Lin Xia has never heard of.

Fortunately, she searched with the secret key and found that some materials appeared directly on the exchange list.

Some can be directly exchanged with gold galleons, but others need to complete tasks to obtain contribution points and exchange them with contribution points.

Lin Xia suspected that those materials that were not searched were available in Hogwarts.

It was only because she did not have enough authority that they were not open to her.

Early the next morning.

Hufflepuff had no classes, but Lin Xia showed up in Professor McGonagall's office.

At this time, the scales of fate on her wrist did not feel hot.

After waiting for a while, Professor McGonagall pushed the door open and walked in.

It was not yet time for class, but she was not surprised by Lin Xia's arrival.

Lin Xia had already sent a message to her in advance using a bird.

Professor McGonagall sat down and said calmly: "Tell me first, why do you know how to expel aliens in the sky city?"
