Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"Professor... this..."

Sifa stopped Professor Dumbledore.

Scanning around for a while, the line of sight stays on each portrait for a while.

"Oh! Yes! Almost forgot!"

It's hard to say...whether Dumbledore was spreading the news on purpose.

Because under the gaze of Xifa.

Dumbledore was like an old man who was forgetful, he patted his head exaggeratedly and came to his senses after being reminded by Sifa.

Dumbledore reached out and waved his wand, and all the portraits were turned over, facing the wall.

Then cast another layer of isolation spell, and signaled Xifa to check forward.

Dumbledore's isolation magic can naturally ensure that the sound and magic fluctuations will not spread.

"Sifer, it's true that you didn't handle Cassandra's relationship with you properly, so that she was shaken and went to Slytherin?"

I thought that Xifa was telling himself to let Cassandra change to Ravenclaw.

As long as Xifa tells himself the conflict between him and Cassandra, as long as Cassandra repents again, it is not too difficult for him to cast a powerful confusion spell and let the Sorting Hat redistribute Cassandra's college information .

However, Xifa took out the compass from his arms, not only activated it, but also summoned almost a real magic circle.

There was a strange look in Dumbledore's eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

I just don’t know if it’s because Xifa used the Sorting Hat, or because Xifa’s magic level has improved significantly.

A real silver-white magic circle landed on the sorting hat.

chi chi-

Wisps of black smoke gradually rise...

Dumbledore came to Sifer's side all of a sudden.

The magic power in the eyes is concentrated, and the blue light keeps shining.

After a long time, the Sorting Hat was shrouded in the magic circle, and there was no longer a trace of strange aura.

Checking again and again, Xifa removed the magic circle.

After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand to the sorting hat...

With Dumbledore around, it's not a big problem... right?

When Xifa just touched the sorting hat with his finger.

The Sorting Hat suddenly filled up from its collapsed state.

"Who is it! Awakened the great Sorting Hat!"

There was a big black hole in the middle of the hat, and sensual words that were biased toward machine synthesis spewed out of it...

"Oh! Is it you! Albus Dumbledore! When you were sorted, you were still a kid."

"I knew at a glance back then that you would become a great wizard. Although you went to Gryffindor, the temperament of Slytherin is the most suitable for you. Ravenclaw's thirst for knowledge is not bad. On the contrary, Hufflepuff's honesty is suppressed in your heart."

"However! How long has it been now! You have become an old man!"

......

Probably... probably held it in for too long.

Once the Sorting Hat's chatterbox is opened, it can't stop, Barabara can't stop talking.

At this time, Dumbledore also reacted.

He collected himself and exchanged a glance with Xifa.

Cifer shook his head lightly.

This breath is not the bewitching magic I imagined, nor is it any other strange magical breath.

It was the dark breath of Brant Fergus.

For such a long time, it did not cause any harm to the new students.

It is estimated that ordinary magic cannot stop this talkative speech.

Use this curse directly to lower the intelligence of the Sorting Hat!

"Come on, let's go to my office and have a chat."

After speaking, Dumbledore came to the side and found a small wooden box trimmed with gold silk.

It seems that the gold wire edge has just been inlaid.

Xifa couldn't help grinning, probably because Professor Slughorn felt that the original small wooden box was too simple.

He reluctantly decorated it...

......

Dumbledore's office is full of magical instruments.

Phoenix Fox didn't know where to go to play.

Didn't see it on the bird stand this time.

"The Cassandra thing..."

Pulling out the chair, Dumbledore collapsed into it with a tired face.

Seeing this, Xifa felt a little stunned.What did the professor do, how did this happen?

However, Dumbledore had already asked himself, and he should answer his question quickly instead of diverting the topic with a question.

"It's hard to say whether her affairs are affected by the Sorting Hat, but I don't think the problem lies in that."

"The professor also found out, Lady Diana seems to have done something in Cassandra's ring... I will..."

"Oh? That's Lady Diana!"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and interrupted Sifer's next words.

"Uh... an existence similar to a magic painting, but it has the characteristics of a ghost. There are no complete soul fragments."

The words were interrupted, and there was a little vacancy in Western thinking.

Both Dumbledore's surprise that he didn't know Diana Cassiopeia's state, and Dumbledore's surprise when he noticed her magical fluctuations.

You know, at that time, I found nothing when I opened the dragon pupil, but Dumbledore could find that familiar breath.

As if aware of the reason for the surprise behind Sifa, Dumbledore, who was lying on his back, explained lazily.

"Sifa, feel with your heart, sometimes, eyes can't help you see some hidden things!"

Hearing this sentence, Xifa's heart was shocked, yes, since he opened the dragon pupil.

Even with a dependent mentality, I have rarely used perception to analyze and observe magic fluctuations.

"Been taught a lesson!"

Xifa saluted solemnly.

Dumbledore waved his hand, indicating that you go on, I'm listening.

"I'll... tomorrow...no... I'll go find Cassandra tonight and ask her to come out and give me an explanation!"

"In front of me, breaking the curfew school rules..." Hearing this, Dumbledore couldn't help but cursed with a smile.

"Professor, I am a prefect now, and this year's prefects have the right to travel at night."

"Yes! Congratulations! And what about Cassandra?"

Excuse me... I shouldn't be skinny...

Xifa resolutely pretended not to hear and moved on to the next question.

"Professor, you are all at Hogwarts today. I read from the Daily Prophet that the German Ministry of Magic declared war on the Polish Ministry of Magic early this morning. Don't you need to be on the front line?"

Hearing this, Dumbledore sighed deeply.

"Sifa, it is precisely because the German Ministry of Magic attacked the Polish Ministry of Magic that the pressure on our border defenses is negligible."

Sifa was taken aback, then retorted.

"Won't they take advantage of this psychology and attack the British Ministry of Magic at the same time?"

"You're right! Sifer! We all think so."

Dumbledore looked remorseful.

"The combat power of the Polish Ministry of Magic is between Twilight and Atlantis."

"They definitely won't last long. How long the war will end depends on how long Germany wants to delay the war."

"And we are here because the Ministry of Magic suspects that I have a connection with Grindelwald. Unless I swear, we professors must leave the front line."

Xifa was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Then you swear it is."

"No, Xifa! The looking glass in your hand was researched by me with the help of the blood oath between me and him. So he can't hurt you, but will protect you under certain circumstances."

Needless to say later, I triggered it once, even if Professor Dumbledore contacted Grindelwald.
