Chapter 238: Countless fan letters, Rita's madness, Snape's frustration

The weather has been cold again recently.

The little wizards all took out their sweaters and put them on, and a warm fireplace was raised in the room, with bright flames burning.

Lin Xia received many letters while having lunch in the auditorium.

Most of these letters are sent from other places, and some are letters across oceans and countries.

The protective buttons launched by Lin Xia somehow gained a group of enthusiastic fans.

And these fans basically all know that she goes to school at Hogwarts.

So I sent the letter directly to the school, specifically indicating that it was received by Lin Xia.

After testing and determining that there was no danger, the administrator of Hogwarts directly forwarded these readers' letters sent across the ocean to Lin Xia.

Ron watched with envy as Lin Xia was covered by a sea of ​​letters.

He turned to discuss with Harry and Hermione: "Do you think Lin Xia has received more letters than Professor Lockhart?"

Hermione straightened her chest and said calmly: "That's natural, Professor Lockhart's fame has not spread to other countries yet.

The protective buttons are said to have been sold in many countries with wizards. They are widely promoted and known to more people. "

Ron said curiously: "I thought you would support Professor Lockhart even more."

Hermione said: "No, I am just stating the facts and respecting the facts. Lin Xia is my friend and she deserves this treatment."

Lin Xia read a few letters from readers.

These letters came and went praising her for how wonderful the guardian buttons she made were and what a wonderful idea she had.

She handed these letters to Draco and simply acted as the shopkeeper.

"You can help me read it when you are free, or you can take all these letters to the laboratory. I am tired of doing experiments, and I can also see how the fans praise me."

Draco didn't know what he thought of and couldn't help but smile.

"Not only do I watch, but I also want other people to watch and see how the fans are blowing you so hard. Maybe this can be a rare moment of leisure in our busy experiment."

Draco took the letters and stuffed them all into the storage ring.

There was a letter that was different and was made in pink, so he kept it and opened it to take a look.

Before opening the letter.

He wondered if this letter was a confession of admiration for Lin Xia.

But once he opened it, he discovered it.

It turned out to be a disguised letter, a howler letter disguised as an ordinary letter!

"Oh, Lin Xia, my dear Lin Xia!"

A deafening scream rang out, attracting the attention of all the little wizards in the auditorium.

You can tell that the person who created the shouting letter is a woman, but the emotion shown on the envelope is not anger, but joy.

Lin Xia couldn't react for a moment.

As for Draco, he was in a state of confusion because he was too close to the source of the sound.

The letter automatically shredded into pieces and turned into the shape of a pink mouth.

“I’m so happy that you were able to make such a whimsical thing like a guardian button.

It must be difficult for you to understand how much the Guardian Button has helped me. I think the significance of its production is no less than being awarded a Merlin Medal!

It's awesome! !

I can’t wait to tell the world how awesome Button Guard is…”

Lin Xia lowered her head, feeling that her toes were so embarrassed that she could dig out a castle.

During this period, she took out the milk tea and drank it pretending to be calm.

This snarling letter had been going on for 20 minutes before I knew it.

And in these 20 minutes.

For 10 minutes, I expressed my admiration for her.

There are still 10 minutes left to express how effective the guardian buttons are.

Thank God!

When the roaring letter spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes and dispersed.

Lin Xia, no, including the entire Hufflepuff table students, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

The Hufflepuff students looked at each other in confusion with the students at the other tables.

After the auditorium was quiet for a while, they communicated with each other.

"That's an interesting letter, isn't it?"

"Yes, I think so too. It turns out that Lin Xia is so popular outside!"

"But she is also very popular in Hogwarts, and there are many young wizards who are her admirers."

The little wizard was talking and quietly looking at Lin Xia.

After entering the second grade, there were more outstanding students, but Lin Xia was still the most outstanding one.

When she was in first grade, Lin Xia published a paper.

This is too far away from the little wizard!

At that time, the little wizard only knew that Lin Xia's invention was very powerful, but he focused more on little wizards like Harry Potter, who had stronger external expressions.

As everyone enters the second grade, their knowledge has been broadened a lot, and their understanding of the entire wizarding world has become clearer.

The little wizard also began to worship and admire Lin Xia.

After Lin Xia came out of the auditorium and walked on the road, she felt that more people were looking at her.

same moment.

Also somewhere in the Kingdom of Great Britain.

In a place that is very hidden to Muggles but not secret to the wizarding world - the Ministry of Magic.

A certain office suddenly received a letter.

That was a letter dedicated to Rita Skeeter.

Rita took off her glasses, eyes sparkling with excitement, and eagerly opened the letter.

Often when a letter is sent to her, it means that a wizard has revealed the truth.

However, what surprised her was that the letter was signed by Lin Xia.

Rita had a bad feeling in her heart.

After reading the letter, Rita confirmed this feeling.

"She is crazy, she must be crazy!"

There was a rare trace of anxiety in Rita's emotionless eyes.

"She actually wants to study the method of detecting Animagus. She thinks she can do something that the entire wizarding world has not been able to do for hundreds of years...

Yes, she can't do it. I don't need to give her useful advice. I just need to give her some crooked advice!"

Rita regained her composure, thought for a while, and immediately picked up the pen to reply.

She still wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Lin Xia.

So she would not not reply. On the contrary, she would say some dry goods about Transfiguration to improve Lin Xia's favorability.

On the other side, Lin Xia walked into the laboratory.

After isolating herself from the eyes of the little wizards around her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was not afraid of being stared at, it was not a good feeling to be stared at all the time.

She was a little confused: "Is the power of the Howling Letter so strong?"

Draco shook his head: "Not only the Howling Letter, but the Guardian Button has indeed made many young wizards recognize you again."

The magic war inventions that Lin Xia had made before were too far away from the young wizards.

The young wizards who can go to Hogwarts, even if they are from poor families, can receive special subsidies to customize a wand that belongs to them.

So they can't understand how excellent the magnetic wand and the natural wand are. Only adult wizards can deeply feel it.

But the Guardian Button is different.

The Guardian Button can actually allow young wizards to buy it and experience its use.

So Lin Xia's reputation spread quickly.

Draco dumped all the letters into a big box. He decided that when he felt tired from doing experiments in the future, he would come to see these letters.

Suddenly, Lin Xia saw a letter shining with a certain luster among a pile of letters.

She was a little nervous. Would it be another Howling Letter?

After carefully opening it, Lin Xia's frown relaxed after a while.

It turned out to be a letter from Romania.

Will told her about the situation of the gem dragon and urged her implicitly whether she could continue to update the last story.

The dragons were all tired of the previous stories and couldn't wait to hear new ones.

Lin Xia thought of what happened to her recently and waved her wand.

The feather pen automatically flew up, found a piece of white paper, and wrote a large piece of writing.

"Since the last battle against the dwarves, after the victory, the Dragon Lord has been praised by the people.

Many people wrote books and songs for it, and the Dragon Lord was deeply loved by the people for a while...

At first, the Dragon Lord was very vain and liked this honor very much, but as time went by, it felt a heavy pressure.

Can it lead the people well, can it set an example, can it see through the enemy's tricks every time..."

Lin Xia suddenly burst into inspiration and wrote a bunch of words.

After a while, the 10,000-word manuscript was written.

She went back to read the story again, and finally carefully named this chapter -

"Glory makes dragons progress, but also makes them difficult to move forward"

At the same time.

Professor McGonagall, she stopped Professor Snape in the corridor.

Professor Snape still had greasy hair, and his eyes were dark and cold. When he looked at people, he seemed as cold as a snake.

Whether facing a little wizard or a professor of the same level, his eyes never changed.

Professor Snape said arrogantly: "Professor McGonagall, you called me for something.

If you want to talk to me about Gryffindor students, I'm sorry I can't discuss it with you. I don't have any interest in those irritable little lions."

Professor McGonagall said seriously: "No, I want to talk to you about something else."

She took out a piece of paper.

This piece of paper was the application form that Lin Xia handed to her this morning.

She had seen that Lin Xia had applied to the school to find the horns of a two-horned beast and the skin of an African tree snake through the school's channels.

Professor Snape scanned the application at a glance, his expression slightly changed.

"These two materials are not ordinary, they are both rare materials with restricted trading. What does Lin Xia want these two materials for?"

He said arrogantly: "Don't tell me that her research this time is related to the Polyjuice Potion.

If I remember correctly, these two materials are important materials in the Polyjuice Potion."

Professor McGonagall said lightly: "But these two materials are not only widely used in other potions in potions."

She emphasized this point deliberately.

These two materials are not only used in Polyjuice Potion.

"They are also widely used in alchemy research. I read her application report, which is well-reasoned and reasonable. She is studying a new method of making wands."

Snape did not see the specific application report.

Of course, if he wants to see it, he can see it.

But when he heard what Professor McGonagall said, he couldn't help but sneered.

"I remember the last meeting we had, Hogwarts was mainly leaning towards Lin Xia in terms of providing resources for the Guardian experiment.

She wants to study wands, and she can't get support from the school."

Professor McGonagall added after she finished talking to him.

"Lin Xia said that she would use these two materials not only to study wands, but also to study experiments related to guardianship. She believed that these two materials could have some positive effects."

Professor Snape snorted arrogantly, "This is a lie!"

Professor McGonagall said calmly, "I don't care whether she is lying or not. What I want is for her to produce experimental results.

Snape, if you refuse to help, maybe you can research another guardian product that is the same as the guardian button?"

McGonagall's question made Snape speechless.

He said coldly, "At six o'clock tonight, let Lin Xia come to my office to get the materials!"

In the afternoon, Lin Xia had no classes.

She did not stay in the laboratory, but returned to the golden wooden house.

The concentration of magic power condensed in the golden wooden house is generally higher than that in the laboratory, so it is more appropriate to practice in the golden wooden house.

Lin Xia took the practice that she started in the evening and did it in the afternoon.

This time, she felt that the practice was particularly smooth.

I don't know if it was because of the afternoon practice or other reasons.

When people reach the foundation-building stage, they will gradually awaken a certain "spiritual perception".

This spiritual perception is a sense of oneself, which is manifested in recent fortunes, whether the things being done are going smoothly, whether there is a crisis approaching, etc.

The more you practice, the higher your spiritual perception will be.

So the legend that those who practice to a high level can predict their own death is correct.

After the practice, a pigeon knocked on her wooden door and dropped a letter.

Lin Xia heard the sound, opened the door, and picked up the letter.

It was a letter from Professor Snape.

The letter asked her to come to the office at 6 o'clock in the evening to get the materials.

Lin Xia couldn't help but whistled happily.

She thought, she knew why her practice was so smooth in the afternoon.

Lin Xia opened the secret key, looked at the task board, and took on the night patrol task tonight again.

As a regular task, the night patrol task must be completed ten times to add 0.1 points.

Lin Xia was not doing it for the score.

From the intermediate authority of 3.0 to the advanced authority of the next level, there is a big gap of 7 points.

This is not a score that can be obtained by school tasks.

She accepted the night watch just to learn more about the evil god's whispers.

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and there was Professor Ollie O'er who only appeared in the night watch mission.

She has been looking for this professor for a long time.

But she has never found this professor in the Hogwarts class schedule.

Maybe she can talk to this professor about what subject he teaches at Hogwarts?

At night.

Lin Xia did not go to Snape's office alone.

She must want to bear the anger of the old venomous snake alone.

She called all the other friends.

Sure enough, as soon as Professor Snape saw Harry, he focused his fire on him.

"I heard that you became an official assistant in Lin Xia's laboratory. I suddenly felt pessimistic about Lin Xia's experiment. Why would she choose such a stupid person like you as her assistant?

Is she greedy for your good looks, or greedy for you to get in the way during the experiment?

If you make a mistake by mistake, the experiment will be invalidated.

Oh, maybe there is another reason. As long as you make enough mistakes, you can apply for more reimbursement, right?"

Lin Xia couldn't help but cough lightly: "Professor, I'm still here, we definitely don't have this idea."

She really didn't have this idea before.

But what Professor Snape said opened up a new idea for her.

Why didn't she think of it before?

She is really too naive!

Facing Snape's poisonous tongue, Harry looked normal.

It should be said that he had long been accustomed to Snape's particularly harsh attitude towards him.
