Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

Face it?Is that what you mean?

Sifa threw out his patron saint and asked Elise if they were all right.

Everyone saw a silver-white ray of light emerge from the tip of Xifa's staff, and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.

Then, Sifer turned around slowly.

"Tom, I've changed my mind, I'm going to fight you!"

"Let's talk about the duel's time, place, and wager!"

Seeing the flash of joy in Tom's eyes, Sifer felt that Tom must think he could beat him.

He seems to have achieved his goal!

Malfoy, prefect...

Ah, this is telling himself, he is about to beat himself, can he be a prefect?

Say, Tom, what do you mean?

Deliberately let Cassandra hear your news, and let Cassandra tell herself the news.

Then blatantly duel with yourself and bring it up again.

No way?Is this your tactic against me?

Smart people generally ponder the deep meaning of the other party, and do not hesitate to spend a lot of energy on this.

You have been interfering with yourself and wasting your energy!

Of course, it should be true that Abraxas Malfoy, who defeated himself and was slapped severely by himself, made Tom the prefect.

It should also be his purpose for Tom to let himself waste energy, and even let himself know that he is spying on Cassandra, so that he can annoy himself and agree to fight him.

To be honest, this incident really made me want to beat Tom up.

No, with such a mentality, you have fallen into Tom's trap.

Tom must have mastered some powerful magic, or he thought he could counter his Transfiguration.

So far, all his performances have been to make himself feel that he is a self-righteous person, thus belittling him.

Fortunately, I know what he really is.

His series of rhetoric and actions, which can be called insane, are just to give himself a fatal blow in the duel.

But Tom, you forgot one thing.

When the gap in strength is too large, all the methods are fancy and vulnerable!

"Tomorrow, the Quidditch pitch!"

"It's a bet..."

Tom also got up and slowly came to Sifa, and waved a sound-proof spell.

"I won, and Cassandra will give up her eligibility for Slytherin inheritance."

"If you win, I will tell you a clue about the secret room."

Cifer nodded, then shook his head again.

"One more thing, tell me what you know about the Outer Court."

Tom took a bite dismissively.

"I can tell you the news right now."

"Some of what I said was true."

"Jack is really being used as a sacrifice, his soul has been sacrificed. The undead is my nonsense."

"Is there nothing else?" Seeing that Tom was reserved, Sifer frowned and asked one more question.

"I will tell you the rest of the news after the duel is over."

"Oh, by the way, I can give you a hint—a portrait!"

portrait...

On the stairs of the outer castle.

Xifa came to the top of the stairs, went up one more step, and reached a new corridor.

Right here, Sifa stopped.

He took out his wand, and followed the instructions given by Professor Leslie to undo the spell.

Hidden floors reappear.

Cefer is back in the hallway where Jack died.

portrait...

On this floor, the only portrait is that of Dark Wind.

A man in a black cloak is dragging a ragged...

Sifa's pupils dilated slightly.

The man in rags was gone.

Now the person in the black cloak is a skeleton!

That Jack's projection...

After inspection, the nature of Jack's projection has not changed.

Is it a coincidence?Or is there a new anomaly that I didn't notice.

"It's common for portrait scenes to change drastically. For magic paintings, only the protagonist will not change."

Is Tom lying to himself?

Xifa couldn't help being a little skeptical. Professor Leslie said that such changes in the magic painting are normal.

No, Tom wasn't kidding himself about it.

He only wants to obtain the top power inheritance now.

Before that, he would not do anything that would harm Hogwarts.

He definitely didn't want to go back to his cold orphanage.

His wand was purchased from Ollivander, and he cannot cast magic outside of school.

Otherwise, officials from the Ministry of Magic will give him a...

Nothing.

Wars broke out, professors went to the battlefield, and even some seniors who were about to graduate went to the front line to practice.

Where are the officials from the Ministry of Magic to manage the little wizards performing magic outside the school.As long as it doesn't cause a big commotion in the rear...

Forget it, just wait, maybe the answer will be revealed after the duel!

After all, Tom was hiding an intelligence from himself.

------

Changes in the external war situation and the departure of the Hogwarts professor internally.

It casts a shadow over the heart of every little Hogwarts wizard.

However, today, they excitedly called their friends and went to the Quidditch pitch.

Because the news of the duel between Xifa and Tom spread throughout Hogwarts.

Before entering the arena, 'Elise' dressed Sifa.

"Are the two of them okay?"

"No problem, the two of them team up, and I don't need to use the second source of magic power, it will be very difficult to defeat them."

The Elise in front of her was transformed by Cassandra drinking compound soup.

Alice turned into her form, and together with Luna, squatted to guard the prey in the main castle of Hogwarts.

At night, the portraits in Hogwarts will monitor the movement in the castle.

Xifa tried, but he still couldn't use the disillusionment spell to escape the monitoring of the portrait.

Unless, he learns a powerful confusion spell.A powerful confusion spell that can confuse Hogwarts' tool people.

Casper Crouch is a professor after all, he can use the portrait network to monitor his location.

In this case, he can easily bypass his inspection.

But today during the day, it was Abraxas Malfoy who suggested that Tom should duel himself.

But it's also possible that Casper Crouch will let Abraxas Malfoy distract him.

Anyway, if Casper Crouch wants to do something.

Today's duel time is the perfect time slot.

Almost all the little wizards went to the Quidditch pitch.

If they weren't going to watch the duel, they couldn't just hang out in the corridors.

And Elise and Luna are in the castle, what exactly does Casper Crouch want to do.

Just when Xifa cast his worried eyes in the direction of the castle.

A group of people on the opposite side surrounded Tom, shouting loudly that Tom must win, and Tom is the number one slogan.

Seeing that Tom insisted on responding politely to everyone's warm greetings.

Sifa almost squeaked out of laughter.

Tom, who hates the name Tom the most, is surrounded by people calling him Tom, and even reveals a smile that is almost full of affinity.

As expected of Tom, the man who will become the Dark Lord in the future.

Such supporters will one day overwhelm Tom's patience.
