Chapter 395 Filch's Kindness, Tom's Warning

Ron was moved when he heard them talk about the benefits of discovering new species.

But the mouse Banban has lived in his house for a long time. He has been in contact with it for such a long time, but he has not found any difference between Banban and other creatures.

It looks like an ordinary mouse.

Ron hesitated and said, "Is it reliable to take it to the infirmary for examination? If it is nothing, will it be laughed at?"

Hermione said righteously, "Those of us who do research must not have such a shameful mentality!

No research can be published immediately, and it is all explored through continuous failures.

Now you don't even have the courage to examine suspected new species. What should you do if the things we invent in the future are questioned by others for having no effect?

As a researcher, we must strengthen our confidence and ideals and not be disturbed by external voices!"

Ron swallowed his saliva. After hearing what Hermione said, he suddenly felt that it was his duty to discover new species!

He immediately said, "Let's do it this weekend. I'll take Banban to the infirmary for a checkup."

The group walked to the laboratory and separated from Mikel halfway.

Mikel and Neville went to Professor McGonagall's office. They just asked Harry how to apply to join the late-night patrol.

It would have been fine if Mikel didn't know before, but now that he knows, he doesn't want to miss any of these things that can obviously benefit him.

In terms of strength, with his current strength, he has long been far ahead of Harry and Ron.

In Mikel's eyes, he is more powerful than Delko, second only to Lin Xia.

After finishing the routine experiments, Harry and others went to the auditorium for dinner together.

Lin Xia specifically told Ron: "After you finish your meal, you will go with me to see Filch and talk about the detention tonight."

Ron was a little nervous and said: "Will it be useful for me to plead with him? Filch has always hated naughty students and has a bad face for every student who is in detention."

He thought that if this trip would not have any good results, it would be better not to go, and it would be embarrassing.

Lin Xia just said: "You come with me first, and I will talk to you when the time comes, and you just need to listen."

Lin Xia and Draco went to the Hufflepuff table. The two talked and laughed, without the oppression in the laboratory at all.

Ron was very envious of this.

He always felt that there was an invisible aura around Lin Xia, and he always felt at ease around her, and she was also a person with leadership.

Ron muttered, "If I could be as good as Lin Xia, every professor would definitely like me, and even Snape wouldn't be cold to me."

Harry patted his shoulder: "Ron, you're good too."

Ron said with a sad face: "Harry, because you are my friend, you are speaking well for me."

Harry shook his head and said sincerely: "Ron, I always think you are good."

He envied Ron very much, with a harmonious family, a sister and many brothers.

He would never be lonely, and he could go wherever he wanted to play during the holidays, unlike him, who had lived in a depressing environment since childhood.

If he hadn't come to Hogwarts, he would never know that there was such a magical place in the world.

Although the little wizards would look down on each other and compete with each other, there were also many kind-hearted people who showed him warmth.

This is much more interesting than the Muggle world!

Harry thought, what's good about him, at least Ron has a complete family, while he has nothing and can only live under someone else's roof.

After dinner, Lin Xia took Ron to Filch's office.

Before leaving, she unceremoniously told Draco and Hermione to go to the laboratory to complete the remaining experiments, and Harry would also help.

Half of the wands with binding bonus have been made, and the remaining half is just a matter of polishing.

This kind of wand can be used in special occasions, with the binding characteristics of the devil vine.

Lin Xia has a hunch that these special wands may be more powerful on Aurors. If possible, she wants to invent them as soon as possible.

Draco waited for Lin Xia to leave before sighing and saying, "Lin Xia is getting more and more demanding."

Hermione smiled: "But we can also learn a lot from it, Harry, what do you think?"

Harry thought about it and nodded: "I think my magic talent seems to have improved a little bit under day-to-day experiments. This should not be my illusion."

Draco: "This is normal. Our bodies are still growing, and our magic talent will be gradually excavated as we grow up. It is said that the higher the grade, the more talent is needed."

On the other side, in Filch's office.

The skinny Mrs. Norris stood elegantly on the table, lowered her head and licked her dark gray hair.

Hearing the knock on the door, it looked up vigilantly.

After finding that it was Lin Xia, it lowered its head and licked its hair again.

Next to it, the white fairy in the form of a big orange was lying lazily on the side, with a few scattered cat food next to it.

Needless to say, the white fairy must have accepted Filch's feeding again.

The white fairy is no longer a cat, but a magical creature, and is gradually developing its original bloodline. It can easily identify whether the food is harmful.

So Lin Xia is not worried that it will accidentally take some poison outside.

In this regard, Fairy Bai gave her more vigilance.

And not everyone can feed the White Fairy. A student had fed it before, but it didn't even look at the person's face and left arrogantly.

Ever since the White Fairy and Mrs. Lorris were released from their petrified state, the two cats have been almost inseparable, wandering around every corner of Hogwarts.

Thanks to Fairy Bai, Lin Xia knew several secret passages that were said to be unknown even to Filch.

Lin Xia even had a suspicion that Filch had only been an administrator for more than ten years, but he knew so many little-known secret passages, some of which were probably told to him by Mrs. Loris.

Seeing Lin Xia coming, Filch was a little surprised and asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want from me?"

Fairy Bai said "meow", gently hooked Lin Xia's arm with her tail, turned it in a circle, and then let go.

Lin Xia rubbed Fairy Bai's chin and said, "My friend offended Professor Snape and was put in solitary confinement tonight. I heard that it is you who will punish him.

I wanted to give him a heads up on what to do during the lockdown. "

Ron blinked nervously, his whole body stiffened, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

He didn't expect Lin Xia to say it so bluntly.

He thought they came here to bribe Filch, and they would start with a bunch of compliments.

Filch looked at Ron with sharp eyes like an eagle, and said in a shrill voice: "I recognize you. You are often with the savior Harry, and you always violate school rules."

Ron's lips moved slightly, trying to defend himself, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Xia shaking her head slightly at him.

He immediately shut up and said nothing.

After Filch finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and said to himself to Mrs. Lorris: "Another batch of medals have arrived in the showroom, and I haven't arranged for students to wipe them yet."

Lin Xia immediately said: "Ron, then you do this."

Ron nodded: "Hmm...ah?"

He suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened, and he was a little surprised. Is the confinement just for polishing medals? Is there such a good thing in the world?

He had been in solitary confinement before and had his medal wiped, and he was punished with Harry.

He still remembers complaining that his hands were sore and there were so many medals that he couldn’t wipe them all off.

Filch's inspection was also very strict, requiring every medal to be smooth and legible, and they were not allowed to use magic.

But as he grew older and saw many methods of confinement, he discovered that wiping medals was the easiest and easiest.

The reason why he and Harry were assigned this task was because the professor saw that they were first-year students who had just entered the school, so he asked Filch to give them the easiest assignment.

If a student commits something later, he or she will not have such a good job in solitary confinement.

And Ron later learned that Filch was a squib, he couldn't use magic, and Hogwarts was full of magical elements all the time.

So Filch couldn't tell whether the little wizard wiped the medal by himself or used magic to clean it.

He could have used the simplest and most basic method of "cleaning it up" to get past it!

Lin Xia reminded him: "Ron, why don't you thank Administrator Filch quickly?"

Ron came to his senses and immediately lowered his head and said thank you, hiding the shock on his face.

When did Filch, who had a sarcastic look on his face and focused on finding faults with the young wizard, become so easy to talk to?

Was it really Filch he was facing, not Filch's twin brother?

Filch looked at the White Fairy next to Mrs. Norris and asked impatiently: "Is there anything else?"

Lin Xia immediately said no and walked out with Ron.

After going out, Ron could no longer conceal his shock and expressed his doubts.

Lin Xia replied: "Filch is indeed very harsh on other young wizards. Next time you, Harry and Hermione meet him, don't say hello and stay as far away as possible to avoid being deducted points from the academy again."

Ron heard something else, "So Filch didn't punish me to too much confinement for your sake?"

Is Lin Xia's reputation so great that even Filch is willing to be friends with her?

Ron felt excited. If Lin Xia continued to excel, would he, as Lin Xia's friend, be able to walk sideways in Hogwarts from now on?

Lin Xia glanced at him, the look in her eyes was full of meaning, as if she had guessed Ron's thoughts.

She said: "Don't count on me. Filch is doing it for Mrs. Norris's sake. You really don't want Filch to catch your pigtails. It's better to please his cat than to please me."

Ron thought of the chubby, naive White Fairy and the stark contrast of the skinny Mrs. Loris, and couldn't help but said speechlessly:

"But Mrs. Norris is too ugly. She doesn't look like a cat at all."

Lin Xia said calmly: "Don't underestimate Mrs. Lorris. She wears more defensive items than the little wizard. She goes around wearing items worth thousands of gold galleons every day. She is much richer than you. "

Ron had nothing to say.

For the first time, he realized that he was inferior to a cat.

After settling Ron's matter, Lin Xia did not go to the laboratory immediately, but went back to the dormitory to prepare a mixture of life essence for the pet eggs.

Since she entered the third grade, she has been too busy and left the pet eggs to Fairy White to take care of.

In the process of taking care of the pet eggs, the White Fairy seems to be able to absorb some useful things from them.

The pet egg has been absorbing the life essence, and there is no sign of being full yet.

This is actually a good thing.

From the summer vacation till now, so much life essence has been poured into the pet egg, but it is still not satisfied. This proves that this pet egg has great potential and is definitely not an ordinary magical creature egg.

The more it can absorb, the better it is.

Lin Xia is not afraid that it can absorb, but afraid that it will not absorb.

Just now, I saw the White Fairy, and the two communicated with each other. The White Fairy wanted to go on an adventure with Mrs. Norris, so she asked Lin Xia to take care of the pet egg first.

Lin Xia readily agreed.

Applying the black life essence mixture evenly on the pet egg, Lin Xia felt a special breathing rhythm coming from the egg, and every breath would carry a lot of essence of magic.

Lin Xia touched the pet egg and felt it, and suddenly understood why the White Fairy was willing to stick to the pet egg all the time.

When this pet egg breathes, it can actually purify the surrounding magic power, and then feed back some pure magic power.

You know, the magic power of Hogwarts is pure enough, and even the professor absorbs the magic power in the school to strengthen himself.

The already pure magic power was purified again, and just breathing it made people feel refreshed.

Thanks to her golden wooden house that can absorb the free magic power from the outside world, it meets the daily needs of the pet egg, otherwise Lin Xia might have to find a special place to cultivate the pet egg.

Lin Xia patted its pale green eggshell and whispered, "Grow up quickly!"

Just as she was about to leave, suddenly, the forbidden magic box in the corner vibrated.

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows. Tom and Voldemort's picture frame have been fighting wits and courage for so long, and finally there is a result?

From the sound of the box vibrating, she knew that this was a reminder from Tom to him.

The two had agreed on the vibration frequency of the box before.

Tom would only remind her when the energy of Voldemort's picture frame was exhausted.

If Lin Xia couldn't wait, she could open the forbidden box by herself at the agreed time.

Lin Xia had patience the most, so she chose to wait.

She put on an armor to protect herself before opening the box.

The picture frame was still the same as before, with only a gray background color. Lin Xia noticed that the golden frame of the picture frame had become very dim, as if it was about to rust.

Lin Xia did not touch the picture frame, but took the diary out of it.

Tom: [Lin Xia, long time no see, the picture frame has already consumed all its energy and entered a deep sleep.

I originally wanted to wait until its consciousness was annihilated before telling you, but I recently discovered that there is a stream of energy that has been injected into its body to help it recover]

Lin Xia: [What kind of energy can ignore the interference of the forbidden magic runes? ]

Tom: [I don’t know, maybe it’s some kind of energy from the same source... I feel that the energy is very close to it, so it can help it replenish]

Lin Xia’s eyes narrowed slightly.

You know, there are fragments of Voldemort’s soul in the picture frame!

If it is energy from the same source...
