Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"Professor Dumbledore is simply the savior!"

"Yes! As soon as he came back, the commotion in Hogwarts was quelled by him in an instant."

"Fox's voice is so beautiful!"

"The professor's strength is really unfathomable. He even released a large-scale magic covering the entire Hogwarts with a wave of his hand."

......

Sifer wanted to send Cassandra back to the Room of Requirement first, and then he would go back to the Ravenclaw lounge to see the current situation.

But never thought, just walked out of the bathroom.

Alice and Luna greeted them.

He also took them to the auditorium.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him.

Cifer couldn't help wondering if someone had put a time-turner on him.

Obviously less than an hour ago, most of the little wizards in front of them were in the state of the living dead, and the entire atmosphere of Hogwarts was shrouded in low air pressure.

But now, everyone is happily pushing cups and changing glasses, singing together shoulder to shoulder, and even one person jumped on the dining table to offer a tap dance for everyone...

Sifa was dragged by Elise in a daze until he sat down at an empty table.

Xifa came back to his senses.

"How is this going?"

Before he had time to take a sip of water, Xifa hurriedly asked Elise.

Cassandra calmly ordered a steak, and then listened to Elise and Luna talking about what happened.

It turned out that when the two of them had just entered the bronze gate.

Over the castle, they met Professor Dumbledore who was brought into Hogwarts by Phoenix Fox.

Dumbledore said that tonight is a good time to close the net.

Hearing this, Xifa specifically asked the professor why he did this.

And Alice told him that Professor Dumbledore didn't explain much to them, but just waved his wand and sprinkled a golden-red smoke.

Seeing that the professor released the magic solemnly, they didn't bother him.

After the magic was released, that is, when Hogwarts was completely enveloped in smoke, Dumbledore disappeared in front of them, leaving Phoenix alone to sing a tune in the air.

However, they could also sense the coordinates of Xifa, and after teleporting there, they saw Professor Dumbledore again.

However, they were kicked out by the professor.It seems that there are some things that they don't want them to see.

"What did Professor Dumbledore tell you? He kicked us out of the bathroom!"

Elise peeled a grape with her own hands, brought it to Sifa's mouth and looked at Sifa with threatening eyes.

"Professor, he didn't tell me any useful information... He just took away Mr. Crouch we caught. He also told me that there is something to talk about tomorrow."

"is it?"

Elise looked at Sifer with suspicious eyes, and Sifer looked at her without fear and ate the grape in his hand.

"Well, it seems that you are telling the truth, but what does this have to do with Professor Crouch? Can you tell me what is going on?"

At this time, I heard Elise asking the truth about what happened this semester.

The Ravenclaw prefects came together one after another.

Xifa smiled wryly, and after thinking about it, it seems that the professor didn't say that he couldn't tell this matter.

But there is still something to be said about the scene.

"Don't say anything about these things, or I'm afraid you will be retaliated against."

Obviously, these words were not addressed to Alice and the others, but to these people who pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

However, although the people of Ravenclaw are not passionate little wizards of Gryffindor, they will not retreat easily in the face of the truth of the matter that is right in front of them.

Moreover, Xifa only said that he was being retaliated, not that he was worried about anything, which meant that there was no life-threatening danger.

"Casper Crouch is sent by the holy pure-blood family, you all know that, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"He came to Hogwarts, in addition to teaching, brushing up the reputation of the holy pure-blood family, and the task of subverting the authority of Hogwarts."

Speaking of this, Luna felt that something was wrong, and under her leadership, everyone looked in the direction of the seats in Slytherin House.

Sure enough, nearly half of the Slytherins did not attend tonight's banquet.

At the same time, Luna also had a premonition that Xifa was about to explode.

She quickly cast a sound-proof spell to shield their table.

"Jack in the outer court was killed by him, the purpose is to divert our attention."

"In this case, even if I know that he is looking for the secret room, I won't doubt it too much. After all, these two things have nothing to do with each other."

Xifa raised a finger and said while shaking it.

"Then Malfoy..." Senior Miranda hesitated and interrupted.

"This is the ruthlessness of the people of the holy pure-blood family. In order to remove their connection with this incident, Malfoy was pushed out and sacrificed."

The scene is a bit heavy.

"Let's talk about the secret room!" Xifa raised a second finger.

"There are basilisks in the Chamber of Secrets, as well as Slytherin's inheritance, and some... strange creatures. Those monsters may be left behind by the Gunter family repairing the Hogwarts sewer pipes hundreds of years ago."

"Crouch's purpose is to release the basilisk and those monsters, causing casualties in Hogwarts."

"Causing casualties and causing panic in Hogwarts, what good is it for them?! Their heirs are also studying here!" Filius Flitwick, who was a half-blood elf, shouted in a shrill voice.

"This involves the distribution of power in the wizarding world, Felius. I will explain to you the power conflict between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts later." Aviana Rupert sighed , Said to his old partner.

Filius Flitwick didn't have the support of his family, and naturally he didn't have any relevant information. He didn't know that the conflict between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, represented by the pure-blood family, had reached the point of incompatibility.

"Sifer, keep talking." Avinia Rupert urged Seefer when she saw Filius Flitwick fall silent.

"Well, originally, Crouch wanted to be a warrior. He wanted to subdue the basilisk after the basilisk caused a lot of casualties."

"I see!" cried Elena Gerrard. "In this case, Principal Dippet and professors such as Slughorn will have to take the blame and resign. Crouch can easily control Hogwarts, and he and the pure-blood family he represents will create a good reputation in the wizarding world." Word of mouth! The credibility of the Ministry of Magic will reach an unprecedented level."

"The most important thing is that the current Ministry of Magic is the puppet regime of the holy pure-blood family. If the British magic world becomes the authority of the Ministry of Magic, the holy pure-blood family will be superior and monopolize the resources of the entire magic world." Luna quietly said added. "Those aristocratic grandpas will suck the blood of everyone, and the ashes will be cast into bricks as their stepping stones."

"You have to thank Xifa, he stopped the disaster and killed the basilisk." Cassandra interrupted suddenly. "Don't think that the basilisk is easy to bully. As long as you are not a blood wizard, you will die on the spot just by looking at it."

Everyone gasped, looking solemn.

"Of course, I'm not the only one who deserves the credit. Everyone present has a share."

Xifa waved his hands, humbled himself.

"Do you remember those little wizards who acted abnormally?"

"If I'm not wrong, they will get together obediently. At first I was wondering if they were looking for the hidden magic painting, but now it seems that they should be thrown into the mouth of the basilisk inside."

"This group of people! It's crazy!" Filius Flitwick stood on the bench excitedly, waving his fists and roaring with saliva flying all over the place.

"Relax, Senior Felius. Professor Dumbledore, they should be liquidating them now, right?" Alice interrupted for the first time.
