Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

Alice was so nervous that she closed her eyes.

After waiting for a long time, the body did not feel wrapped in the cold lake water.

Carefully opened one eye.

She was surprised to find that she was floating above the water.

In the feeling, there seems to be an invisible air cushion under the body that is dragging him.

Before she could understand it carefully.

Luna, who reacted after being stunned, dragged her calf and pulled her back to the boat.

"Whoo~"

Luna eased her nervousness.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

"Sifer! You didn't use your wand just now?!"

"Hey?"

On the one hand, Elise, who looked like she had survived the catastrophe, also turned into a surprised face.

The last time in Diagon Alley, the incident happened suddenly.

Elise hadn't noticed if Sifer was using magic, let alone a wand.

"Indeed, the incident happened suddenly just now, and I didn't have time to draw out my wand, not to mention, my spell... Forget it, I don't know how to cast spells."

Thinking of the fact that during the holidays, there is a chance that his own spells will gain the effect of the blasting spell, Xifa decisively changed his mind.

It is also because the magic power of little wizards will become milder at this age.

It is easier to cast spells with a wand.

Of course, as a price, from now on, it will be difficult for the little wizard to cast spells without a wand.

"Sifa, can you cast this magic as you like?"

Seeing Xifa nodded, Luna hurriedly asked.

"Can you cast it on the two of us again?"

Although I don't understand it, it's easy to cast this simple magic that I call the hand of a mage.

Then, Alice and Luna floated up slowly.

"Elise, do you feel it?"

"Well, I thought it was a floating spell at first, but I didn't understand it carefully, so you pulled me back."

Luna rolled her eyes angrily, and said that she should let you experience a cold water bath.

The floating spell is to make the object's own gravity disappear, and then slowly lift into the air.

This is why the Levitation spell is difficult to work on wizards.The wizard's own magic can disturb this strange balance.Unless the caster is highly skilled.

And this magic is called the hand of the mage by Xifa.

As if being pressed by an invisible airflow, he is still subject to gravity.

"Okay, Xifa, when we go back, Iris and I will check the information carefully. We don't understand the principle of your spell."

"Sifa? Sifa?!"

I saw Xifa staring blankly behind the two girls.

The two looked back, only Hogwarts Castle appeared under the lightning and thunder.

They shouted louder and asked Xifa to put them down.

Xifa finally regained his composure.

The second daughter also landed safely on the boat.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Alice came to Sifa and looked at Sifa's eyes, but there was nothing.

"I saw a translucent wall that Professor Ruud has passed through. It doesn't seem to have any effect."

"Hey?"

Elise was surprised, there was nothing in front of her field of vision.

Luna stroked her hair, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"Eliza, don't you still complain that we live in Hogwarts, but we have to go to the station to take a bus to school?"

"Do you remember that in the school history of Hogwarts, when there were no express trains, new students had to walk a long distance to enter the school."

Clever Elise knows everything.

"You mean, this is the little wizard protection ceremony mentioned in the school history?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Sifa was confused, Alice opened her mouth to explain.

"Ritual magic is a general term. It is the magic that is cast according to certain steps with the help of foreign objects. The little wizard protection ceremony is mentioned in the book. Through this magic, no little wizard who enters the school will die in the castle. .”

Xifa nodded, indicating that he understood.

It seems that now, although little wizards don't have to travel long distances into Hogwarts, some steps are necessary.

Suddenly, Xifa's eyes shook.

He found that as long as he didn't make the move to launch the magic of 'Mage's Hand'.

The fluorescent wall in front of you will disappear.

He quickly told the two of this discovery.

"No idea. It's beyond our level of knowledge."

After a moment of hesitation, Alice suddenly asked.

"Sifa, you can at most tell Professor Dumbledore about this matter, and others must never mention it."

"Including your grandfather?"

A moment of silence.

"include!"

Did not ask why, Dumbledore is like a wizard on the level of justice, but what happened to Professor Fergus?Granddaughter throwing tantrums with grandfather?

Without much thought, this matter was recorded by Xifa and left behind.

Finally, the boat reached the other side of the lake.

Xifa disembarked first and took the two ashore.

"Let's climb up?"

Pointing to the winding stone road in front of him with one hand, Xifa raised his eyebrows and asked.

The second daughter tidied up her attire and nodded in agreement.

All right, all right, it seems to be another process of ritual magic.

Xifa, who insisted on exercising, dragged the two of them up to the top of the mountain, and was also panting from exhaustion.

The second daughter expressed apologies, their physical fitness is indeed poor.

Mr. Rude, who had long since disappeared, was standing guard at the gate of the castle.

Seeing that the three arrived first, he nodded in satisfaction.

The three stepped forward to say hello to Mr. Rude.

Afterwards, the somewhat tired Sifa lost the politeness he had when they first met.

The three of them leaned together to recover their strength.

Cold, hungry, exhausted...

These negative effects made Xifa shudder.

The second daughter felt it.

They tacitly get closer to Xifa.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Xifa believes that freshmen who can persist in arriving at the castle in this bad weather are qualified students.

However, he also underestimated the young wizard's yearning for a real magical school life.

Soon, a large number of freshmen supported or encouraged each other to reach the finish line.

There is only a group of people who are incompatible with them. They seem to have a strict hierarchy, and the people behind will never surpass the footsteps of the people in front.

"Everyone be quiet, stand in front of the door!"

See no personnel coming up from the exit.

The burly Professor Rude roared loudly.

No one talked back at this time, or rather, they didn't have the energy to talk back.

Even the rebellious pure-blood descendants stood in a row.

Professor Rude quickly counted the number of people, very good, not one of them was missing.

He nodded in satisfaction, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Professor Rude turned around and came to the door, his muscles agitated, and he pushed it away forcefully.

Seeing it, Xifa was stunned for a while, is this a performance or does it really need pure physical strength to push it away?Why not use magic?

The question was out of his mind when the door was wide open.

I saw that the airflow brought by the opening of the door made the candlelight above the head dance slightly, and the interior of the castle with complex patterns and traces of time unfolded in front of him.

Xifa, who was at the head of the queue, was naturally the team leader, and he led all the little wizards to enter in an orderly manner.

What he didn't know was that there was a person behind him staring at him, his red eyes revealed resentment.
