After Halloween, it’s November.
Quidditch season has begun. The first game was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.
Unlike in the original book, Harry did not become a Seeker, nor did Quirrell try to curse Harry on the Quidditch pitch, nor did Snape try to save Harry but was misunderstood by the Harry trio. plot. The final result of the game was that Slytherin's Seeker Terrence Higgs caught the Golden Snitch, giving Slytherin the victory.
Just like in the original work, the Harry trio still believed that Snape had ill intentions towards the treasures hidden in the corridor on the fourth floor, so after some inquiring, they got Nicolás out of Hagrid. Mei's name. In the following time, the three of them worked hard in the library to find clues related to the name Nico Flamel.
But none of this has anything to do with Schelling.
Schelling's life has been very fulfilling these days. In addition to daily studies and homework, Schelling also has to find time to participate in the activities of the Charms Club and the Transfiguration Club. What was exchanged and studied in these two clubs was more advanced and difficult knowledge, which benefited Schelling a lot.
At the same time, Schelling also made plans for his life in Hogwarts in the next few years.
With the Occlumency, Schelling had the capital to hide his thoughts. It was time to start executing the three major goals that he planned to accomplish before Voldemort returned:
First, we must enhance our own strength. In this regard, Schelling has already planned to learn more powerful spells, as well as silent spellcasting and wandless spellcasting, which are very important in actual combat.
In addition, he must also solve the weakness of his insufficient magic value. Due to the limitation of magic value, many powerful magics that he has been coveting for a long time have a magic power requirement that exceeds his own magic level. As a result, he can only read it in books. Can't start learning. It is not easy to solve this problem. He hopes to find and collect various legendary magic artifacts that can be used in actual combat by deeply studying the history of magic. In the first wizarding war, a large part of the strength of the first generation Dark Lord Grindelwald came from the artifact in his hand, the Elder Wand. He searched for the whereabouts of the three artifacts of Death by studying historical documents, and after many twists and turns, he finally got the Elder Wand from it. Snatched from a wand maker.
The above two points were Xie Lin's original plan from the beginning. However, after discovering the magic of blood power, Xie Lin added research on blood power to his original plan, hoping to discover the power of his own blood. Hidden power.
Bloodline magic has long been lost in the modern magic world where blood is thin. The modern magic world lists various research involving bloodline transformation as strictly prohibited projects. Xie Lin currently places his best hope on the restricted book section of the library, but the restricted book section requires a principal. Or the signature of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor can be used to enter, so Xie Lin also needs to take a long-term approach to this point.
Second, develop a force loyal to yourself, an organization similar to the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix.
Just by looking at the fact that Tom Riddle began to recruit followers when he was in school, we understand that school is where the largest number of wizards gather, and it is also the best place to establish power. Whether Xie Lin wants to become the next Dark Lord or restore the family's glory in the future, it is absolutely necessary.
Third, explore Hogwarts.
Hogwarts is a magical fortress that has been passed down for thousands of years. There are countless secrets hidden inside and outside the castle. No one, including the past principals, dares to say that they know all the secrets of Hogwarts. What intrigued Schelling the most was that since Slytherin could leave a secret chamber as a legacy, what about the other three great wizards who were also the founders? Did they also leave behind any inheritance that was not mentioned in the original work?
Schelling spent a lot of time every day practicing silent spellcasting, wandless spellcasting, and the ancestral spells of the four major families: the Malfoy family, the Black family, the Lestrange family, and the Rochiel family.
What’s interesting is that these four major families have taken completely different paths in researching ancestral magic:
The Malfoy family is very partial to spiritual magic; the Black family is partial to soul and transformation magic; the Lestrange family magic has a strong shadow of curses, mainly causing physical pain and harm. The magic of the Rochier family is mainly based on elements, including various magics that can control fire, water, whirlwind, and thunder.
After Xie Lin discovered each family's preference for magic research, a vague and bold idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Could the magic preference of these pure-blood families correspond to the power hidden in each family's bloodline?
Xie Lin had already discovered that he had extraordinary talent in spiritual magic. This may be because he awakened the blood power of the Malfoy family.
The Black family had Nymphadora Tonks, a natural Transfiguration Magus. Perhaps this explains the Black family's preference for transformation magic?
In the original book, the Lestranges were masters of the Cruciatus Curse. They brutally tortured an Auror couple into lunatics. Perhaps this was because they had a talent for using curses to torture people hidden in their blood?
As for the Rocher family, there is very little mention in the original work, but the first generation of the Dark Lord Grindelwald was indeed a master of playing with fire, controlling water, and wielding thunder. A fire almost burned down the entire Paris, and a Hudson River almost destroyed The entire Auror in the prison car drowned... In addition to his unclear relationship with his female subordinate Veda Rochiel, maybe Grindelwald himself also has some blood from the Rochiel family?
If my guess is true, and the power of the Malfoy family's bloodline has been awakened in me, is it possible for me to awaken the power of the bloodline of other families?
Thinking of this, Xie Lin couldn't help but feel itchy. It was a pity that information about blood magic was very rare. He had read a lot of books but still had little understanding of this magic field. You must know that he still has at least a quarter of Black in him. bloodline, and a quarter of Rochiel's bloodline.
His grandmother died before he was born, but he still vaguely remembers that his father seemed to have mentioned that her grandmother was from the Lestrange family, which means that she actually has blood from these four families in her body. If you can awaken other bloodline powers, your strength will definitely improve astonishingly!
Schelling's study and practice of home magic and spellcasting skills continued until the end of the second week of December.
At this time, every move he made was full of confidence, and he was very proud of the strength he had gained through hard training behind closed doors these days.
He can already perform wandless and silent spellcasting skillfully and freely. The wand is just an auxiliary for him and is no longer necessary. At the same time, Schelling also stopped actual combat training with Dobby. This is because Dobby is no longer his opponent. , Dobby couldn't even last a few rounds with his magic power fully activated.
Xie Lin estimated that his strength was not inferior even to the senior students. Except for the top few students in the senior class, Xie Lin was confident that he could beat anyone else.
[Learn to cast spells without a wand! 】
[Acquire silent casting! 】
Xie Lin touched his chin, it was time to put exploring Hogwarts on the agenda.
But before that, Schelling had to prepare for the two-week Christmas vacation. Originally, Schelling planned to use this Christmas vacation to explore Hogwarts, but Narcissa sent a letter to the two brothers as early as a month ago. She had to go home to spend Christmas. After all, this was the first time that her two sons had been away from home for such a long time. Sherin could completely understand Narcissa's longing for her children.
The day before Christmas, when Schelling returned the books he borrowed from the library to Ms. Pince, he was intercepted by Hermione at the library door.
Hermione's expression was a little flinching. To be honest, she mustered up a lot of courage before coming to Xie Lin this time.
She was influenced by Harry and Ron, and her opinion of Slytherin has never been very good. If Sherlin hadn't saved her last time, she probably would never have any interaction with him in this life. Stopping Xie Lin at this moment, she spoke with a mixture of expectation and fear: "Hello, Mr. Malfoy, I didn't have time to express my gratitude to you for the troll incident last time, so I came here specially today. Say thank you."
Sherlin looked at the girl who in the original work represented the role of think tank in Harry's trio. At this moment, Hermione's facial features still had a childish look, plus fluffy hair and conspicuous front teeth. , just like a simple and pretty girl next door, of course she will become a girl, and Hermione will start to show her feminine charm after the fourth grade.
Sherrin is surrounded by beauties in Slytherin. Daphne is charming and elegant; Meredith is cool and graceful, and Hermione is indeed inconspicuous compared to them in appearance.
But Schelling still had a good impression of this principled, persistent, and intelligent girl. During Harry's search for Horcruxes all over the world, even Ron couldn't bear it and left. Only Hermione never left him. Abandoned Harry to the end.
Xie Lin replied kindly: "You're welcome, Miss Granger. Although we are in different houses, we are all classmates at Hogwarts, so I just do what I should do."
Hermione's eyes lit up and she smiled: "Yes, we are classmates. I hope we can help each other and be friendly in the future."
Xie Lin nodded and was about to leave. Hermione stopped Xie Lin again, "Um... do you know who Nico Flamel is?"
Schelling raised his eyebrows, oh - the Harry trio will advance the plot of the Philosopher's Stone so soon, "Nick Flamel is the greatest alchemist in history, he is the known Philosopher's Stone. The only maker of the Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone, which can refine potions of immortality and turn stones into gold. He is also a good friend of Professor Dumbledore. Is this enough?"
"I know, it must be the Philosopher's Stone!" Hermione suddenly realized and said excitedly to Xie Lin, "There must be a Philosopher's Stone hidden in the restricted area on the fourth floor. The three-headed dog must be to protect the Philosopher's Stone - the sea. G said this was an agreement between Dumbledore and Nick Flamel."
"Oh, what next? What happens after you know there is a magic stone there?" Xie Lin asked curiously.
"Then - um..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, then said: "We suspected that Snape wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. Harry saw that his leg was injured. It must have been when he tried to cross the three-headed dog. Bite.”
Xie Lin looked at Hermione with a scrutinizing look, and after a while he said: "Listen, you are doubting a professor, you can even say it is slander, which will get you into big trouble. The most important thing is Yes, Professor Snape has taught at Hogwarts for more than ten years. Being able to become the head of the first house shows that he has won the trust of Professor Dumbledore. I don’t think anyone can do it under Professor Dumbledore’s eyes. He has been harboring evil intentions for so many years. Although Professor Snape’s behavior in the classroom was unfair, except for our Slytherin students, I know that other houses do not like him, especially the Gryffindor students, but - I I don’t think he should be subject to groundless charges.”
"But..." Hermione still wanted to argue.
"Listen, why can't others think of the things you can think of?" Sherling looked into Hermione's eyes and said, "Do you think Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Sprout Does the professor know nothing about Professor Snape's injured foot? Well, I think that's the end of the topic. No matter how much I say as a Slytherin, I guess you won't be able to listen. You will probably just think that I am. Just favor the dean who protects you... Christmas vacation is tomorrow, and I haven't started packing my luggage yet, so I'll take my leave first and wish you a Merry Christmas." After Xie Lin finished speaking, he waved and turned to leave, not far away. In the corridor, Daphne and Meredith were looking at him and Hermione with curious faces, waiting for him to return to the Slytherin dormitory together.
Hermione looked at Xie Lin's retreating figure. She could already hear the unkind tone in Xie Lin's last words. She didn't know why she felt inexplicable sadness in her heart. Could it be that she, Harry, and Ron were really the ones who treated Snell Generally biased? Is the difference between Slytherin and Gryffindor really unbreakable?
