Chapter 46: Another Memory Crystal

The nights at Hogwarts are very quiet.

The school rules forbid students from wandering at night, but as long as they return to the dormitory before nine o'clock, it is not considered a night wandering.

When Lin Xia and Draco left the castle gate, they met the administrator Filch.

Filch was thin, slightly hunched, and stood silently at the gate like a statue.

It was not dark yet, and he was already holding an oil lamp in his hand.

He scanned every little wizard who came and went in and out of the castle with sharp eyes, and the little wizards passing by subconsciously tensed their bodies.

Draco and Lin Xia were outliers, they were much more relaxed than other little wizards passing by.

Filch quickly noticed the two little wizards with comfortable expressions, and planned to stop them and check whether they were carrying any prohibited items, so as to establish his own majesty.

Suddenly, he paused and saw the little white cat in Lin Xia's hand.

Oh, the color of that cat is very similar to Mrs. Norris, but Mrs. Norris is much more luxurious than that cat.

Out of a certain love for cats, Filch did not intend to trouble the two students.

After Draco left the castle, he casually threw down an "anti-eavesdropping spell" and then whispered to Lin Xia.

"Why do I feel that Filch's eyes were not right when he looked at us just now?"

Lin Xia did not comment, "It seems so, but he didn't come to trouble us, right?"

Draco thought about it and felt that it was true. There were so many school staff in Hogwarts, and they couldn't love everyone.

As he walked, he found that the road was a little wrong.

"Lin Xia, this road we are going to is not the infirmary, right?" Draco said uncertainly.

"Yes, I have to go to the garbage dump near the infirmary first to find something, you keep an eye on it for me." Lin Xia said calmly.

Draco suddenly realized, "No wonder you suddenly want to come to visit your classmates. In my impression, you are not such a caring person for your classmates."

Lin Xia also smiled. She didn't think of hiding it from Draco. This time she came out, she also wanted him to help her cover.

Two people acting is better than one person.

Soon, the two came to the stinking garbage dump.

Before entering, Draco and Lin Xia couldn't stand the smell, and cast a "bubble head spell" on themselves. Their heads were wrapped in a fish tank.

This spell allows people to breathe underwater and isolate the unpleasant smells from the outside world.

The white fairy showed a very humane expression of disgust, but still jumped out of Lin Xia's arms and nimbly crossed the garbage.

Its sense of taste is more developed than that of humans, and the stench has a greater impact on it.

If it hadn't experienced the three times of the fate balance feeding, making its physical fitness better, it would probably not be able to come and go freely in the garbage dump like it is now.

The white fairy quickly recognized the smell of Quirrell's scarf. The smell was very smelly, but it had a strange attraction to it.

Fortunately, Snape did not throw the scarf too far, just at the edge of the garbage dump.

Not long after Lin Xia and Draco walked in, the white fairy stopped and took out a scarf in two or three bites.

Lin Xia took the scarf and put it in her small leather bag.

Draco frowned and asked, "Isn't this Professor Quirrell's scarf?"

Lin Xia did not hide it from him: "The scarf he used is useful to me. While he is still teaching, I want to get a few more."

Draco said without thinking, "Okay, just let me know when you need my help."

After leaving the garbage dump, the White Fairy shrank beside Lin Xia a little listlessly.

Lin Xia used several rounds of "clean it up" on it, and then on herself a few more times, and finally sprayed some grape-scented perfume on it, and then felt that the smell on her body had dissipated a little.

Draco sprayed some lemon mint perfume on himself. As an elegant little gentleman, spraying some men's perfume is a respect for the guests.

The two followed the map to find the infirmary. Before they entered, they heard the Gryffindor four quarreling inside.

Hermione said loudly: "You shouldn't have gone to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. You didn't even read the book Hagrid gave you!"

Ron yelled: "We have picked a lot of mushrooms. If we hadn't suddenly encountered the devil's vine... who knows there would be such a thing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest!"

Harry nodded in agreement.

Hermione said angrily: "You two with broken bones are not allowed to talk!"

She looked at Mikel Bain and said angrily: "You should persuade them a little and pull them out quickly if something goes wrong."

Mickle choked: "Hermione, I also stepped into the trap of the devil's vine. How can I pull them out?"

"You can use Lumos, or remind me that it is the devil's vine!"

Mickle was speechless. She really thought everyone had her precise spellcasting performance.

Can Lumos be cast whenever he wants? You know, he has never used this spell once, only heard it.

"Knock, knock, knock." The door was knocked three times.

Lin Xia and Draco opened the door and walked in after hearing the reply.

Hermione saw Lin Xia, her tense expression relaxed, she opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed it in frustration.

Lin Xia handed them a bouquet of flowers, "I heard that you were in the hospital, Draco and I came to see you, are you all right?"

Ron lowered his head, somewhat afraid to look at Lin Xia, Hermione did not speak, the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Harry had to speak up, "Thank you, Madam Pomfrey said we are fine, we just need to rest for a night."

Lin Xia looked at Hermione gently, "Can you tell us about your adventure at noon?"

Hermione nodded quickly, starting from when she found that the three people were missing after lunch.

"I went to Hagrid's place, and Hagrid said that they had been gone for a while. I caught up with them from behind and happened to see them trapped in a place.

If it weren't for Mikel reminding me that it was the devil's vine, I might have been trapped there. The more we struggled, the tighter the devil's vine tied us."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Devil's vine, if I remember correctly, this plant can only grow in a semi-shaded environment. It is best not to let it be exposed to direct sunlight in summer. How could it appear on the edge of the Forbidden Forest?"

Devil's vine is more likely to appear in a swamp environment.

Hermione shook her head: "I don't know, maybe we can ask the professor."

Mickle immediately said: "No, we can't let the professor know that we found the devil's vine!"

Others couldn't help but look over.

Mickle was a little nervous, and sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was determined not to tell the professor.

Although his reason was very lame, it was persuasive:

"If we pick the devil vine and sell it to the professor, we can earn a lot of gold galleons. This is a good magical plant."

Ron immediately changed sides when he heard this reason, and Harry followed Ron indifferently.

As for Lin Xia and Draco, they did not express any opinions. The devil vine was not discovered by them.

Lin Xia returned to the golden wooden house, summoned the scales of fate, and performed the sacrifice.

In order to successfully obtain the troll, she had to arm herself as much as possible.

The little white cat stood calmly at the right end of the scales of fate. After several sacrifices, it was able to be calm and orderly.

The scarf on the left end of the scale rose rapidly, and the right end represented by the little white cat immediately fell. The judgment was over soon and the sacrifice began.

The scarf collapsed inch by inch under some indescribable effect, and Lin Xia felt the power of the scales of fate feeding back.

It was similar to the feeding back during the last sacrifice, with two or three more days of training effect.

After all, Quirrell had worn the scarf for too short a time, and it was not stained with much of Voldemort's scent.

The White Fairy jumped down from the scale and licked her fur slowly.

It did not change at all after this sacrifice, but Lin Xia felt that its eyes were brighter.

The scale shook at this time, trembling violently for a while, and finally spewed out a wisp of black mist.

The mist quickly dissipated, and a black memory crystal remained on the scale.
