Chapter 295 Holiday, journey begins (5K)

The truth is revealed!

When Lin Xia saw the page of the Daily Prophet, she knew that Hogwarts was making an effort.

She flipped through other newspapers and found that all the pages of the newspapers were scenes of Lockhart going to prison.

Draco, who was standing by, saw something and asked Lin Xia to read it.

"He is a fool!

When he was taken to Azkaban, he actually attacked the Aurors and took the Aurors' wands to attack them, but the wands of the guardians bounced back the Oblivion Spell and made him lose his memory!"

Lin Xia looked at it and shrugged: "This is quite Lockhart's style."

Hermione came over and was also talking about this.

"I heard that Azkaban is the most terrifying prison in the wizarding world. Once imprisoned, wizards cannot experience any positive emotions such as happiness, and live numbly every day.

Professor Lockhart has lost his memory, and I feel that he is getting a bargain!"

Hermione said aggressively.

Draco glanced at her, leaned close to Lin Xia's ear and whispered: "Why did Hermione suddenly get so angry? Didn't she like Professor Lockhart very much before?"

Lin Xia glanced at him: "So Draco, you must never anger women in the future."

Draco: "What?"

Lin Xia said meaningfully: "How much they loved you, they can hate you as much as they did. Don't offend women no matter who you offend."

Draco said cautiously: "That... does it include you?"

Lin Xia smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"

Draco closed his mouth and dared not speak.

The Lockhart incident was originally limited to a small number of wizards.

Now that it has been made public by the newspaper, all the young wizards know that he was a liar who deceived the world and stole his reputation.

As we walked along the road, we could hear the little wizards talking about it——

"When this professor taught his first class, I felt something was wrong. He just kept talking about his own books and telling us how great he was."

"My mother likes him very much. She always buys his books every time he publishes them. My father dares not say no!"

"I feel his readers will protest!"

"No, no, no, you guessed wrong." Some little wizards said loudly, holding a latest newspaper in their hands and reading it out:

"I used to be a fan of Lockhart. After the news that Lockhart was a liar came out, fans gathered at the Ministry of Magic and thought that it was too easy for him to be imprisoned in Azkaban. His magic should be locked up and he should work with magic for the rest of his life!"

Lin Xia glanced at the newspaper waved by the little wizard.

Principal Dumbledore appeared and comforted the female wizards who wanted to cut Lockhart into pieces, saying that Lockhart would definitely get the punishment he deserved in Azkaban.

When the little wizard was taking the Transfiguration class.

Even the serious Professor McGonagall mentioned the "Lockhart" incident and said:

"When we learned the truth of the matter, we immediately interrogated Lockhart with truth serum and obtained a list of victims.

All of Lockhart's property will be donated to the families of other victims. Although this cannot bring people back to life, it can also bring a little comfort to the families.

I hope that the students I teach may not have outstanding magical talents, but they must have a kind heart.

A temporary forgery may bring huge benefits, but only with real skills can you stay in the wizarding world for a long time.

This is my advice to all of you."

After Professor McGonagall finished this sentence, she announced the end of get out of class.

The little wizards all stayed quietly in their seats, digesting what the professor said.

Only Lin Xia and others left the classroom quickly after the professor left.

Some little wizards heard their conversation and seemed to say that they would take time to do research and get together at night to review, etc.

Many little wizards thought enviously.

They don't know whether their future will shine, but the future of Lin Xia's five-member team cannot be overshadowed even in Hogwarts with so many students.

In the laboratory.

Lin Xia and Hermione specially customized a sprint plan for Harry and Ron for the final exams of the semester.

As for Draco, he is also an excellent student, and the courses in the school are not difficult for him.

His opponent has always been Lin Xia.

But starting from this semester, perhaps Hermione will have to be added.

Ron looked at the long list of books given by the two and had the urge to faint. He was very confused and distressed and said:

"Why do I feel that the books you two gave us are more than the books the professor asked us to read?"

Harry was a little uneasy.

He was afraid that he would fail this semester.

Especially in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he felt that he had not learned anything this semester. When he was in Professor Snape's class, he always couldn't keep up with the pace.

Even so, Harry felt that Lin Xia and Hermione gave too many book lists.

Exams...

Why can't we avoid exams when we come to the wizarding world?

Lin Xia said, "If you finish reading all these books and understand them, I can guarantee that you will get an excellent A-level evaluation."

Hermione added, "In fact, there are more books on the initial list, and we have already helped you pick them."

Ron and Harry looked at each other painfully.

Only then could they feel the pain of being a poor student.

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Come on, finish reading all these books. No matter how you do in the exam, I will teach you three more alchemical runes."

Ron's eyes lit up: "Can I choose the runes myself? I want to learn the runes related to making magic cars!"

Harry was very interested in armor, "Can I learn the alchemical runes that transform armor?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "What you want to learn are advanced runes that must undergo several changes. I won't teach you, because you can't learn them even if I teach you. I teach you basic runes."

She paused, "After you have learned the basics, you can try to transform and fuse the runes yourself, as long as it is within a reasonable range."

Ron and Harry's eyes lit up.

Transform and fuse by yourself?

It sounds really cool!

After mobilizing the enthusiasm of the two, Draco went to the laboratory and communicated with Lin Xia and Hermione:

"You should emphasize to them the dangers of randomly transforming and fusing runes. If one does not do it well, it will explode!"

Lin Xia and Hermione decided unanimously: "Wait until they have read the book!"

...

Time passed in a flash, and finally it was exam week.

In the exam of potions class, everyone randomly drew potions written on a piece of paper in groups and prepared them.

These potions were all the ones they had learned this semester.

Harry was lucky and drew the broad-spectrum antidote he had recently learned. He was absent-minded at the time, and Ron discussed it with him afterwards, which made him remember it deeply.

As expected, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tested the Shield Charm.

The little wizard's mastery of the Shield Charm was still very superficial and not very powerful.

Not to mention being able to resist the spell, even a small collision could not be resisted.

But Professor Snape should have other ways of testing.

As long as there is no mistake in the posture, the "Shield Charm" is indeed used, no matter how powerful it is, it is considered a pass.

Lin Xia, Draco and Hermione, the three outstanding students, naturally performed very well, but other students also successfully used it, even Ron and Harry.

The success of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class gave these two a lot of confidence.

In the following exams, they were more daring and began to challenge their limits.

In the Transfiguration exam.

Ron gave it his all and turned a piece of paper into a lifelike mouse.

Although the mouse's body was still a little stiff and not flexible enough, it looked very real.

This mouse looked very similar to his pet mouse Scabbers.

Harry was very conventional and just turned a piece of paper into other objects, not daring to do any vivid operations.

In the Herbology class.

Everyone completed Sprout's requirements and did better than other little wizards.

After all, sometimes they would come to the botanical garden to help on weekends, and they had accumulated more experience in dealing with magic plants than other students.

After a while, the difficult exam week was finally over!

The students of Hogwarts were all caught up in a rest carnival.

In the last few days before the holiday, they held many parties, including pajama parties, carnival parties with ghosts, pet parties, disguised animal parties...

The celebration lasted for three days!

On the last day before the holiday, Headmaster Dumbledore appeared in person in the Great Hall and announced the final results of the annual House Cup.

This year.

The professors did not give Lin Xia, Draco and Hermione crazy extra points for outstanding students, but gave other young wizards more opportunities.

Hufflepuff holds a tea party every weekend to discuss knowledge. The learning atmosphere is good and many talented young wizards have emerged.

So from the basic score.

Hufflepuff is still the first place, far ahead of Slytherin in second place, Ravenclaw in third place and Gryffindor in fourth place.

However.

This is not counting the extra points for fighting against the basilisk.

Dumbledore also made the same additional extra points as in the first academic year.

"Ron Weasley's bravery, Hermione Grange's fearlessness, and Harry Potter's final blow to the basilisk at the critical moment, I want to give them a total of 300 points!"

"Hiss-"

People from other colleges couldn't help but take a breath.

The House Cup is naturally not selected by grade.

The extra points for each grade can be counted.

The heroic performance of the Gryffindor trio in the Chamber of Secrets made Gryffindor's House Cup score surpass!

All the points added up, it jumped to first place!

The students of Gryffindor College have fallen into a carnival, waving their hands excitedly and whistling.

But Dumbledore's words have not been finished.

Dumbledore whispered: "In addition, there are Lin Xia and Draco. They are not afraid of danger in the face of danger, showing the hard-working, simple, and fearless style of Hufflepuff. I want to add 100 points to both of them!"

The next moment, the originally dazzling red auditorium turned into red and yellow colors, with yellow and red coexisting.

Another tie!

Dean Sprout couldn't help showing everyone the little cutie in her medicine garden, while Professor McGonagall used Transfiguration to turn into a huge lion.

Although Ravenclaw and Slytherin were very sorry, the little wizards celebrated in their own way.

Carnival all night!

-

In a blink of an eye.

They were on the express train again, returning to their respective homes to spend the summer vacation.

Harry chattered in the compartment, and seemed to be infected by Ron.

"I actually don't quite understand why Professor McGonagall refuses to let me stay in school during the holidays. She must let me go home. I have clearly seen other young wizards applying to stay in school. As long as there is a reason, they will be approved."

Hermione had heard Harry say this many times.

She said impatiently: "Stop, Harry, Professor McGonagall may have her concerns."

Draco was reading a book leisurely, while Lin Xia was writing furiously with an automatic quill flying beside her.

As for Ron?

Ron was obsessed with the basic magic text he had newly obtained. He who was originally the most noisy became very quiet, thinking about how to transform and fuse after returning home.

Harry asked in confusion: "Why do I have to go back to my uncle's house?"

The automatic quill paused slightly, and a new piece of parchment flew out from the suitcase. Lin Xia continued to write the second volume of "Dragon Lord".

She has been very busy this semester.

The novel I promised to write for the Romanian Fire Dragon Breeding Farm has been suspended for half a semester.

Many letters were sent over there to urge her, and Will even said that if she didn't resume the update, the fire dragons would riot.

Lin Xia didn't have time to write, but she sent a reply.

He said he would go to the Fire Dragon Breeding Farm to visit his old friends this summer, so he stopped writing letters there.

Lin Xia has two intentions.

While rushing to write a novel, I answered Harry's words.

"Perhaps Professor McGonagall thinks your uncle's home is very important, or maybe there is something you don't know that forces you to return to your uncle's home?"

Draco chimed in with a "hmm", "Maybe your uncle's house has some treasure?"

Ron also said: "It seems that starting from the first grade, you can stay in school if it is just a short holiday, but you cannot stay in school as long as it is a big holiday."

Hermione frowned slightly, "Are you thinking too much?"

Lin Xia: "Let's just talk casually. Don't forget to write to me during this holiday, but I will most likely not be able to reply."

Ron suddenly asked: "Why can't there be instant communication tools in the wizarding world? I think Muggles have them. It seems to be called a communication device."

When Lin Xia heard this, she raised her head and her eyes lit up.

Others' eyes also brightened, and they said in unison: "This can be regarded as our topic for next semester!"

Lin Xia said enthusiastically: "Ron, Harry, you should think more about it during this holiday. I have a hunch that if this experiment can be done, you two will definitely be rated as... Excellent student!”

Hermione looked at Lin Xia, "What about your previous project on the audio version of the Guardian Spell?"

Lin Xia smiled softly: "It's okay, I should be able to solve it on my own. There are a lot of magic texts involved here, so your help to me is relatively small."

Hermione silently added the subject of "Learning Magic Texts" to her summer must-do list.

After the express train arrived at King's Platform, Lin Xia said goodbye to the other little wizards one by one.

Aunt Narcissa came to pick up Draco and originally planned to pick up Lin Xia too, but Lin Xia said:

"Aunt Narcissa, I plan to travel first and not return to the manor for the time being."

Aunt Narcissa frowned and said disapprovingly: "Lin Xia, do you want to go out alone? You are too weak. I don't agree."

Lin Xia gave Aunt Narcissa a hug.

"Auntie, I hired a very powerful bodyguard to ensure my safety. Besides, my parents also gave me many powerful things."

She winked mischievously and said to Narcissa: "If you are worried, Auntie, I don't mind if you give me a few life-saving rare items."

Aunt Narcissa gave her a funny look, knowing that she could not convince Lin Xia.

Ever since she was little, Lin Xia has had great ideas.

"I came out in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring anything very good with me. I'll give you this rare item. When you open the umbrella, it can withstand the power of a thunderbolt bomb, and at the same time, it can bounce the magic spell out."

Aunt Narcissa reservedly handed the purple lace umbrella in her hand to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was very surprised.

She made a casual joke, but she didn't expect Aunt Narcissa to actually carry a strange item, and she didn't expect it to be an umbrella.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and took it over politely.

"When I return from my journey, I will return the rare items to you."

Fortunately, the weather was hot during this trip, and this umbrella could also provide her with shade.

Aunt Narcissa said softly: "It doesn't matter if you pay it back. Of course, it would be better if you could pay it back."

If you can return it, it proves that nothing serious happened during the trip and the umbrella was not damaged.

Aunt Narcissa thought like this, but still felt that it was unsafe for Lin Xia to travel alone.

Lin Xia then took out her powerful bodyguard and talked about it again.

After some hard talking, Aunt Narcissa allowed her to travel alone.

The first day of vacation.

Lin Xia didn't want to leave now. Instead, she found a nearby hotel where Muggles lived and rested for the night.

The next day, she set off refreshed.

And her bodyguard is——

"Meow!"

Fairy Bai jumped onto Lin Xia's shoulders and squatted down gracefully. When Lin Xia looked over, her big cute eyes also looked over.

Fairy Bai tilted her head, as if to say: "What are you looking at?"

Lin Xia said to himself: "It can hide very well, has a keen sense of magic, can change colors at any time, and can go out on patrol at night. Well... it is very powerful."

She just stood outside and waited for half an hour. A three-story magic bus appeared in front of Lin Xia.

"Welcome, a homeless little wizard wandering in the Muggle world. Do you need help from the Magic Bus?"

Said a male wizard wearing a top hat with several small freckles between his nose.

He did not wear wizard robes, but wore Muggle overalls, and he looked very smart overall.

Right next to him, there was an old man standing.

The old man's hair was gray and his beard almost touched the ground, but his eyes were sharp and shrewd.

Lin Xia looked inside and didn't see any passengers. Instead, she saw a black cat.

Lin Xia took out his wand and made a light tapping motion in the air, his expression a little tangled.

She was so entangled that even the conductor saw her entangled and became entangled too.

After a long while, Lin Xia breathed a long sigh of relief and made up his mind to ask: "Can the little wizard get a 50% discount? I'm still a student at Hogwarts, so the student ticket can still be discounted. I don't want to take the seat without a 30% discount." .

By the way, the kitten on my shoulder shares a seat with me, so there is no charge, right? "
