Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

In the auditorium on the first floor, Xifa was eating breakfast listlessly.

I saw him cut a piece of steak with a knife and fork in a blunt manner and put it into his mouth. A little sauce hung on the corner of his mouth when he was not prepared.

"Why are you so careless?"

Luna, who was sitting next to Sifa, noticed this scene.

She transformed a small plate on the side into a lace handkerchief, with which she gently carried away the dripping sauce.

"Last night, he gave me a lot of inspiration for using magic, so it's inevitable that I don't have enough energy now. By the way, Elise. Let's go to the Forbidden Forest in a while, and you help me design the structure of these magic patterns."

Cassandra interjected to explain for Sifer, before she nudged Elise and asked her to do her a favor.

"Okay!" Elise happily agreed without the slightest hesitation, and she was also curious about what kind of magic move Sifer designed for Cassandra.

"Then go to the Forbidden Forest, Sifa, you can help me brew the potion this morning."

Luna said lightly.

"Can he do it in this state?"

Alice covered her mouth and chuckled, expressing her doubts.

"Just give him a tonic." Luna snorted coldly, expressing that she was determined to let Xifa accompany her all morning.

Elise had no choice but to give Xifa a self-seeking expression.

After hearing this conversation, Xifa couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

Fortunately, I just don't have high energy, and my magic power is still very sufficient.

It is estimated that the potion brewed by Luna requires a lot of magic power to reconcile, and she is just a tool to provide 'fuel'.

Waiting for Xifa to finish breakfast leisurely.

Taking advantage of the effect of Elise's butt-butt moves, Luna and Cassandra looked at each other covertly.

"Then let's go to the Forbidden Forest first, see you at noon~"

In the lobby on the first floor, Cassandra waved farewell to Sifa, and then she and Elise joined hands and gradually disappeared outside the gate.

"Don't look, we have to hurry up." Luna pulled Xifa who was stunned in place, and said a little anxiously.

"In such a hurry?" Xifa was surprised. In the past, when Luna brewed potions, it was the first time that Luna was nervous because the raw materials were hard to come by. This was the first time.

"Of course, you only need to take a look at this potion, and you will wake up instantly." Luna also realized that she was excited.

So she calmed down and answered Sifa like this.

Xifa understood that it was to help him wake up and work better.

In fact, it's just that I overuse my brain, and my head is a little dizzy. It is estimated that after this morning, my energy will recover a lot.

Tsk...squeeze the workers.

Then there was silence all the way until...Professor Dumbledore's office? !

Xifa half-closed his eyes, letting Luna drag him along mechanically.

However, after a while, Luna stopped in her tracks.

So fast?Seefa felt something was wrong, he opened his eyes a little, but Luna brought him to the Transfiguration Office.

"come on in!"

Luna took out Fox's tail feathers and drew a graceful arc in the air. Then the door of the office was opened. Seeing that Sifa was still in a daze at the door, Luna looked around the corridor and saw no one appeared. , he called softly.

bang——

After being pulled into the room by Luna, with the sound of closing the door behind him, Sifa also quickly woke up a lot.

"Professor Dumbledore isn't here?"

Looking around, there was no place for Dumbledore to hide in the office, and Sifa felt even more disturbed.

"Sifa, here you are."

Turning around, Xifa was surprised to find that Luna untied the compass hanging from her neck, and handed it to herself.

Still a little confused, but it didn't prevent Xifa from taking what Luna handed to him.

Afterwards, Luna opened her arms without saying a word.

Let yourself hold...no, let yourself check her!

Really, this 'potion' really worked, and Sifa instantly woke up.

He activated the compass with a solemn expression, tried his best to build the most perfect detection circle, and carefully checked Luna from head to toe several times.

"No problem, what's wrong?"

By the way, Xifa even checked himself, and there was nothing abnormal.

After letting out a sigh of relief, he dispersed the magic circle, hung the compass back on Luna's neck, and asked.

"Sifer, Cassandra and I discovered a big thing! Elise is traveling at night!"

Luna breathed a sigh of relief visibly, then threw herself into Xifa's arms, and said in a slightly crying voice.

"Night travel? What's the fuss about that? I also travel at night every day? You won't say that she has..." At first, Xifa didn't care, but Luna's performance made him think a little more.

"No! It's not what you think!" Before Sifer finished speaking, Luna suddenly raised her head and interrupted him, "Elise's state seems to be a different person, and it seems to be given by the Imperius Curse. manipulate."

Luna's eyes were red, and there was fear and anxiety under her pupils, but she looked straight at her stubbornly with pear blossoms in the rain, which showed that she was not joking.

Without saying a word, Sifa lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers.

The halls of thinking are instantly united.

Luna's memories from last night were shared with Cifer.

At first, Luna fell asleep, but there was no sleep.

Her soul fell asleep, but her senses, under the secret techniques taught to her by Cassandra, were still on the front line.

Luna closed her eyes at first, she didn't know what was going on outside, but, Sifa guessed, Elise must be observing whether Luna was really asleep.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound, because it was a familiar breath, so Luna herself didn't care, she was still sleeping.

And her ears recorded this sound in her brain seriously and responsibly.

dong dong——

Footsteps gradually approached the door of the room.

At the same time, Luna's eyelids opened silently, and recorded Elise, with her back turned to her, walking carelessly towards the door under the moonlight.

That's definitely the most common gait for grown men, and Elise would never walk like that!

call--

In this world, Xifa suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at Luna in astonishment, not knowing whether he was stimulated by this memory fragment or shocked by the decision of Cassandra and Luna to investigate privately.

"When did you find out?" After a long time, Xifa regained his composure.

"Cassandra found out. I never noticed...I was so scared..."

Luna remembered that every time she lived with Elise, Elise might have such abnormal behavior every night.

In front of Xifa, she finally let go of her strength and cried wantonly.

"It's unbelievable..." Xifa murmured softly.

"I am sure that there is nothing unusual about Alice when she is by my side."

After Luna vented a lot of emotions and the tears stopped flowing, Xifa spoke.

"Then you mean..." Luna rubbed her eyes and muttered softly.

Sifa wiped away the tears she didn't notice for her, and continued.

"I want to take a look for myself. It's not that I don't trust you. What if someone casts an advanced confusion spell on you?"

"Magic always leaves traces." Luna's words meant that it was impossible for magic to act on her without a trace.

Especially since Xifa has just solemnly inspected it.

"Magic doesn't necessarily have to act on you, it could be illusions, blindfolds... In short, it acts on the outside world, and your senses receive information yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"
