Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"But, isn't the magic painting put away?"

The little wizard who was watching at the side suddenly interrupted.

"That's right, and the effect on the magic painting, isn't it like that?"

Another little wizard echoed.

Xifa was about to answer, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to answer, he stayed on the sofa.

"I think so." Flitwick frowned seeing Sifa.

He cleared his throat lightly and explained for Sifer.

"Magic has long been wrought on everyone by magic."

"The magic paintings were put away a few days ago, and this incident just happened tonight."

"It may be a control-type curse. Only within the specified time frame, if you want to see something again, or strengthen or alleviate its effect, otherwise it will explode."

Hearing this, a wizard who grew up in the Muggle world interjected excitedly.

"I know this. In order to control some people, some families will give them relief antidote on a regular basis. Once the medicine is stopped, life will be worse than death in pain, and death will be irreversible on the spot."

Is life better than death?Is it serious to die on the spot?

Except for Xifa, everyone gave the little wizard a big roll of their eyes.

Filius Flitwick couldn't help being stunned, then nodded and said that was what he meant.

"It's just that we suddenly isolated everyone, and the people behind the scenes didn't have time to control everyone."

"As far as I can tell, all the little wizards will return to normal at noon tomorrow at the latest."

"The person behind the scenes should want to completely control all the little wizards, and use the threat of death to put some pressure on the Ministry of Magic to achieve his goal."

"No!" Xifa stood up suddenly, and ran out of the lounge with big strides.

Before anyone else could ask him what happened.

He got out of the lounge without looking back, leaving only the patron saint of Xifa to explain to everyone.

"There are still us in the various colleges to stop the unrest, but the outer college can only be done by Professor Leslie in person."

"In this way, no one will appear in the corridors and classrooms in the castle."

"Someone wants to hold us back, to destroy or to gain something."

"I'll go check it out, remember! No matter what happens outside, if you don't see my patron saint, don't act rashly!"

After the words fell, the dragon-shaped patron saint turned into a fluorescent light and slowly dissipated in the air.

"But Crouch taught..."

Filius Flitwick, the smallest, raised his hand, and under his majesty, the talking little wizard shut up.

"What Xifa means is that Professor Crouch may be the culprit for this incident!" Senior Miranda comforted the little wizard who was interrupted, and explained softly.

"Can't you? Professor Crouch is a senior Auror sent by the Ministry of Magic!"

"David! I support Sifa's meaning." Leander Adams explained to his best friend.

"The Ministry of Magic, although its status in the magic world is like the government of the Muggle world, it is a puppet institution of the holy pure-blood family."

"Those people want to occupy Hogwarts and its resources, and it is not impossible to do such a thing!"

"Are they crazy? It's a time of war, what good will they get if they lose Hogwarts for the first time?!" David looked disbelieving.

"In the last wizarding war, do you know how much you believed that the small family of those people was betrayed by them?" Elena Gerrard said quietly.

"That may be for the greater good!" David's expression was struggling, he did not want to believe that the political center was so corrupt.

"Elise's family, that is, the Fergus family that our former dean belongs to, all the backbone of the family were killed in the final stage of the last war!" Miranda said in a cold tone.

After the voice fell, everyone in the lounge fell silent, only the flame on the large fireplace kept beating, making the burning wood crackle from time to time.

------

The sixth floor of Hogwarts main castle.

Cifer was walking silently through the empty hallway with walls.

Originally, there was a portrait of each step here, but now it is being held in the secret warehouse of Hogwarts.

Except for torches and candles, the rest is a smooth grayish-yellow stone wall.

According to the news Luna told herself, it was here that she and Alice met Casper Crouch that day.

Or the ladies' room...

Come to the bathroom door.

Sifer hesitated for a moment, then drew his wand.

"The Black Snake Out"

It has to be said that the concealment of snakes is still relatively good, and Cassandra has the characteristics of snakes, especially the transformation technique, which is very good at transforming animated snakes.

After seeing a lot, Xifa no longer hates snakes.

Several long black snakes drilled out from the tip of the stick, and slid towards the crack of the door in front of him.

After all, it is a magical creation.

When approaching the crack of the door, the black snake flattened like a leak, but still moved forward, and the final picture was that they passed through the gap like paper.

Xifa did not relax in holding the wand. If you look carefully, you can see a black silk thread as thick as hair attached to the tip of the wand.

The other end of the silk thread was tied to the black snake's tail, and what the black snake saw was passed into Xifa's mind.

No one... But, I don't know if the Disillusionment Charm was cast!

Take a deep breath and lift your spirits.

Xifa opened his dragon pupils, pinched a ball of Fiendflame in one hand, waved his wand, and opened the door of the bathroom.

Step into it carefully.

There was no smell in the air, and no source of mana in sight.

At first glance, it seems that no one has been here for many days.

However, when Xifa opened the door of the bathroom single room one by one.

His face darkened.

Above every toilet, there are strong traces of casting spells!

It can be judged to be extremely corrosive black magic just by looking at it.

Sifa waved his wand without saying a word, and the faucet under the glass mirror behind him was quickly turned on.

Under the guidance of his magic, the water flow turned into a powerful high-pressure water flow.

Just a quick rinse.

The white powder on the wall was taken away by the clear water.

There were clusters of purple-black spots on the wall.

What was here originally?Why use this level of black magic?

Xifa summoned an icicle with the curse of the end of all curses attached to it.

After getting close to the residual corrosive magic.

The tips of the icicles sizzled.

It took a long time for the curse to end the curse to deal with the corrosive magic power.

Sifa's heart sank.

In order to counteract Hogwarts' own curing spell, this black magic is more corrosive than imagined.

It's a pity that the current self has no time to investigate the inside story here.

Helena should know, but it's been a long time since I saw her.

What the hell has Helena been doing, why have the ghosts disappeared since Professor Dumbledore left Hogwarts?

Was it Casper Crouch who released this black magic?

In the professor's oath, is it allowed to release this kind of black magic?

The successive problems made Xifa feel dizzy.
