Chapter 203: Cornwall elves, exploring the spiritual life

Lin Xia asked about the foggy insects.

Ever since she tried her first magical creature transformation, she had been in the dark about the fog bug's form and abilities.

She asked: "I feel like something has changed in the fog bug, but I can't understand this potential change, and I don't know how to let it continue to evolve."

She noticed this change after her trip to Sky City.

The fog bug and the fog dragon obviously had some communication that she didn't know about.

But to be honest, she didn't know the difference between the transformed fog bugs and the real fog bugs.

Sometimes, she felt that the thing squatting on her shoulders was a real fog bug.

She seemed to be able to feel its breathing and heartbeat. It was growing stronger little by little, and it might be able to grow even faster.

Lin Xia seemed to feel its anxious state, so she decided to ask Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "In the field of transforming magical creatures, everyone is in the exploratory stage.

My first transformed magical creature was a flaming lion. I didn't know how to cultivate it, but I just summoned it every day and talked to it. Then after several years, the Flame Lion suddenly grew.

Lin Xia, your physique should be somewhat sensitive, and you can potentially feel the changes in the deformed object. It may be urging you to make some kind of change. "

She lowered her head, took out a piece of white paper, and quickly wrote a line of application form with a quill pen.

"When it comes to the transformation of magical creatures, you and I are taking different paths. Your path is more along the lines of Professor Oti Havertz. I'll give you a note. You can ask her then."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Professor McGonagall, what is your path to transfiguration?"

Professor McGonagall smiled: "Compared to agile life, I prefer to take the path of fixed change. This path will be much less risky, but the main reason is that I like to take a greater amount of transformation.

Professor Oti's path, which focuses on studying life, seems to be more suitable for you at the moment. "

She pointedly said: "You don't have to worry, Professor Oti is more trustworthy than you think."

Lin Xia silently kept Professor McGonagall's words in mind.

She did not go to Professor Oti immediately.

She planned to feel the fog bug carefully for a few more days to deepen the connection, and then go to Professor Oti to clarify her doubts.

In the Secret Key to Excellent Students, students can only accept night patrol tasks once a week, so Lin Xia returned to the golden wooden house very early.

Time flew by.

Another Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.

Before taking this class, there was a little incident.

Lin Xia, Draco and Hermione often get together because of laboratory matters, and Hermione has a better relationship with Ron and Harry. In addition, these two people have to be assistants at press conferences, so this The group spent a lot of time together for several days.

They all had the same Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so they went to class together.

"Hello, Harry? My—my name is Colin Creevey."

A thin little boy with gray hair suddenly jumped out, holding a camera that looked very much like the Muggle world, and was staring at Harry with a blushing face.

Harry had an impression of the little boy.

He was also sorted into Gryffindor and was a first-year student. When he was sorted into the house, he kept staring at him with very hot eyes.

Of course, the reason why Harry recognized him was because the camera in his hand was very conspicuous.

Colleen took a step forward timidly, "I'm in Gryffindor too, do you think - can - I take a picture of you?" He raised the camera expectantly.

"Taking photos?" Harry was a little confused.

Colin talked a lot to Harry excitedly. Colin seemed to be a child from a Muggle family.

Lin Xia and others were watching from the sidelines.

It was clear that Colin was a huge fan of Harry's, completely ignoring everyone else and focusing only on Harry.

Seeing that time was getting tighter, Harry said: "Colin, I have to go to class first. Otherwise, before get out of class is over-"

"What's going on?" Lockhart strode towards them, his turquoise robe fluttering behind him, "Who wants to take a photo, do you want an autograph?"

When Harry was about to explain, Lockhart hooked his arm around his shoulder and laughed happily: "Hello, Harry, we meet again!"

Everyone else silently moved away from Lockhart.

"Come, first year wizard—" Lockhart read the name on his wizarding robe: "Mr. Creevey."

He said with a bright smile: "Double photo, it couldn't be more cost-effective. The two of us will sign it for you."

Colin clumsily picked up the camera and took pictures of the two of them, while Lin Xia and others took advantage of this to leave the place and hurried to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Hermione took a few steps slower, looking back.

Ron complained as he walked: "Actually, I don't quite understand. Professor Lockhart can't see it at all. Colin just wants to take pictures of Harry. Why is he coming up to him?"

Draco said thoughtfully: "Before, at Flourish and Blotts, he wanted to get Harry to hype up."

Hermione suddenly turned her head and said loudly: "I just admire Harry, so he is not as bad as you say!"

She lost her temper for no reason and walked quickly into the classroom.

Ron and Draco looked at each other in confusion.

"What's up with her?"

"have no idea."

Lin Xia thought of something. She just saw Hermione drawing a heart on Lockhart's class title on Hermione's class schedule.

After a while, Lockhart entered the classroom with Harry.

Harry was full of embarrassment because when Lockhart entered the classroom, they were still discussing the issue of signed photos.

But one thing is that Lockhart's class is really popular, and many students from other grades will come to see him even if they don't have his class.

Not only were the classrooms full of people, but the corridors were also full of people.

"Ding dong——"

The melodious class bell rang, and class finally started.

Lockhart cleared his throat, quieted the young wizards, and introduced himself again:

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin 3rd Class, Honorary Member of the Defense League against the Dark Arts, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award - but I don't talk about that, I'm not Use your smile to drive away Wan Lun’s female ghosts!”

Draco sat with Ron, Lin Xia sat next to Draco, and Hermione and Harry sat next to Ron.

While Lockhart was talking, Draco was quietly stirring things up underneath.

He mainly talked to Ron.

"After hearing his introduction last time, I wrote to my father about the honor of the third-level Order of Merlin. However, my father scorned this and said that as long as I have connections, I can buy this medal with money!"

Ron's eyes widened: "Really?"

Draco: "Of course, my father wouldn't lie to me."

Lockhart introduced himself, handed out a test paper to everyone, and asked them to complete it in thirty minutes.

Lin Xia took a look at the test paper.

1.What is Professor Lockhart’s favorite color?

2. What is Professor Lockhart’s secret ambition?

3. What do you think is Professor Lockhart’s greatest achievement to date?

There were three pages of questions like this, and she turned to the last question:

54. When is Professor Lockhart’s birthday, and what is his ideal birthday gift?

Lin Xia watched with interest and filled it in casually.

Half an hour later, Lockhart was correcting the test papers again in public and showed the outstanding ones to the little wizard.

Among them, Hermione's test paper was rated as an excellent test paper.

"Very good, great. Miss Hermione Granger answered several questions correctly. She is the little wizard with the most correct answers. 10 points for Gryffindor! Now, let's move on to something more serious..."

Lockhart bent down, took out a large cage covered with a cloth from behind the podium, and placed it on the table.

"My mission is to teach you to defend yourself against the most evil things known to the wizarding world! So next, you will see the most terrifying things in this classroom.

But remember, as long as I'm here, no harm will come to you, all I ask is that you stay calm. "

He deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Don't scream, it will anger them, look!"

He lifted the cover around the cage and said with a smile: "Just caught the Cornish elf."

Some students couldn't help laughing.

The Cornish elf is electric blue, 8 inches tall, very naughty, likes all kinds of pranks, and has a very shrill voice, as if there are many budgies quarreling.

But there is still a big gap between this kind of elf and the extremely evil thing in imagination.

As soon as the cover was removed, the elves stared fiercely at the little wizards.

Professor Lockhart said: "Don't underestimate these elves, they can also burst out with huge energy, especially when a group of them surrounds you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the elf's cage!

Suddenly, all the elves flew out.

They soon caused a huge commotion and dragged some little wizards up. Although they looked short and not very strong, they were able to drag up the little wizards.

"No, stop it, stop them!" Some little wizards screamed.

Lin Xia looked over and frowned slightly. Neville was entangled by these elves!

Could it be that elves also bully the weak and fear the strong?

She took out her wand and shouted to a group of elves: "Petrify them all!"

Some elves stopped instantly and were turned into stones, but there were still some elves surrounding Neville, constantly lifting him up.

Gradually, Neville was hung on the candlestick on the ceiling.

Not only Neville, but other little wizards were also entangled by the elf, and were about to rise into the air again.

"Professor, where is the professor?"

"Didn't Professor Lockhart say he would protect us?"

"Oh my God, it actually bites. My finger was bitten!"

The little wizards are getting more and more chaotic, while the Cornish elves are flying everywhere. They fly very fast, and their shaking looks like streaks of blue lightning.

Lockhart quietly hid on the podium when the situation got out of hand.

Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, he lowered his body and left the podium and walked out of the classroom.

He shouted outside the classroom: "I believe you can solve everything. You can definitely do it. I'm waiting for your victory. This is just the first step to fight against dark evil creatures!"

When Lin Xia used "Petrify All" to deal with the elves, Draco, Hermione, and other little wizards who could also use magic spells cast spells on the elves.

Draco used a levitating spell to slow down the elves, making them unable to control their bodies. They could only slowly float down in the air, land on the ground and float up again. Everything slowed down. Several times the action.

"Neville's clothes are hung on the candlestick, will he fall off?"

Some little wizards shouted, finding that the Cornish elf was still pestering Neville, trying to get him off.

If Neville falls from a height, he will suffer fractures even if he does not die!

Hermione was inspired and without thinking, she immediately cast a spell: "Full Body Binding Charm!"

She shouted loudly, and the elves surrounding Neville pressed the pause button and could not move at all.

Lin Xia also increased the attack range of the petrification spell. While dealing with the elves, he said: "Hurry up and put them in the cage, quick!"

After a busy day, everyone worked together to catch all the elves into the cages, and at this time, the get out of class was about to end.

"Pah, pah, pah!" A burst of applause rang out.

Professor Lockhart appeared out of nowhere and said with admiration: "I knew you could do it, you are great!"

But at this time, no little wizard was willing to pay attention to him.

They saw Lockhart's performance just now and did not approve of the professor's behavior of running away from the battlefield.

Of course, Lockhart's fans still think that the professor is very handsome. This is to test themselves and enhance their practical experience.

Time passed by and came to night.

Lin Xia took the note approved by Professor McGonagall and went to see Professor Oti.

Professor Oti's office is on the fourth floor, very close to Professor Lockhart's office. They teach the same classes, and it seems that the offices are all arranged together.

"Dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" came a clear female voice.

Professor Oti was not surprised to see it was Lin Xia. Professor McGonagall should have mentioned it to her in advance.

She took Lin Xia's note, glanced at it casually, put it aside, and said, "Transform your magical creature and see."

Lin Xia changed immediately.

Professor Oti did not touch the fog bugs directly, but looked closer and even took out a magnifying glass.

"Well, it's a very cute little life. It's the smallest magical creature I've ever seen. It's amazing that such a strange life actually exists. What are its characteristics?"

Lin Xia said: "It has no special attributes and is suitable for everyone. Its characteristic should be transformation."

Professor Oti shook his head and said: "No, my intuition tells me that not every wizard can become its master, and the characteristic of transformation is very unusual."

The professor glanced at Lin Xia with deep eyes: "It should have come to you on its own initiative."

She sat down again.

"McGonagall told me about your situation. Obviously, you noticed the potential thoughts of the shape-shifting creature, so you wanted to further cultivate it, and it subconsciously urged you to do so.

My method here is very simple - it needs more agile feedback. Well, to put it simply, you can let it observe some agile life, and it should evolve faster. "

Professor Oti added: "This refers to living life."

Lin Xia was thoughtful.
