Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"You come with me. Take Elise."

"Professor Leslie, please block this place."

"Luna, prepare some potions to maintain vitality, this will be a protracted battle."

...

Cassandra actually ordered everyone in an orderly manner.

It doesn't make sense for everyone to say nothing, and they all nodded to express their understanding.

However, only Xifa was able to work until everyone present was arranged by Cassandra.

Only then did he completely come back to his senses. The previous him just nodded subconsciously.

"Cassandra, you..."

Having never seen her so strong, Xifa couldn't help but suspect that there was a problem with her cognition.

However, this trace of doubt dissipated after Cassandra stuck out her tongue cryptically at herself and made a grimace.

It was still the familiar white sweet girl.

The temporary stronghold turned out to be the familiar old place - Transfiguration Office.

Xifa came here all the way holding Alice in the hands of the mage.

On the way, through the communication between Professor Leslie and Cassandra, Xifa understood why the professor did not appear for a long time.

It turned out that Cassandra did not go to the dormitory to rest at all tonight, but went directly to Professor Leslie.

When her patron saint notified the professor, she followed the professor to watch the battle quietly.

Until... Sombra showed his flaws.

"Okay, Xifa, just ask me if you have any questions, as long as I can tell you, I will tell you without reservation."

in full view.

Sifa's throat was choked by an old groove for a long time before he asked the first question.

"When did you find out that something was wrong with Elise?"

"I don't know..." Cassandra shook her head in distress, and in the middle of her answer, the ring on her hand lit up.

"It's summer vacation, the day I met Elise for the first time. But it's not me who discovered the problem, but..." At this point, Cassandra closed her mouth, and Cepha nodded clearly.

Is it Professor Leslie's problem here?Not quite.

Professor Leslie can be trusted.

However, Lady Diana could only let Cassandra pass the words instead of coming out to explain the situation to herself?

No, Lady Diana hasn't appeared in front of me since she entered Hogwarts... no, since she met Elise.

The veteran blood wizards are all cursed, and they rarely leave their clan lands.

Xifa boldly guessed that it was this strange existence on Elise that could activate the curse on the veteran blood wizard!

Even the Ringwraiths are not immune?

Thinking about it, Xifa couldn't help but started pacing back and forth in the office, and everyone watched him move back and forth silently.

"I understand!"

Xifa suddenly stopped and whispered softly.

But then, he fell into deep thought again.

During the summer vacation, Alice discovered that her cognition was a little abnormal.

At first, she should be blamed on learning the second of the three unforgivable problems in the black arts.

Until she met herself, she drew a magic painting for herself like on a whim.

She probably didn't mean to harm herself, but she just followed her muscle memory and subconsciously asked for help to show the abnormality in front of her.

However, I was misled by that coat...

That's not right, that coat, maybe that existence deliberately misled himself.

Cassandra was not affected because Mrs. Diana existed as a ring spirit. She seemed to know the principle of this. Even if she didn't, she could at least protect Cassandra.

Luna is not affected, it should be Compass...

By the way, isn't the compass on Elise's neck?

Plus, it's impossible for Elise to be disturbed for no reason.

Then, it must be what the two of them experienced during the summer vacation.

"Cassandra, do you know how to help Elise?"

"I know! I'm going to help her!"

Sifa nodded, and Cassandra cast the Imperius Curse, entering Elise's heart, using his patron saint to guard Elise's self-consciousness, so that she could rest.

"Luna! Give me all the experiences of the two of you during the summer vacation!"

After speaking, Xifa raised his fist and looked at Luna with clear eyes.

"All?" Raising her hand was very natural, but stopped halfway, Luna blushed and hesitated.

"Yes, all, every minute, every second!"

Xifa said firmly.

"All right..."

"and many more."

Professor Leslie stopped them and handed them each a sofa.

In the end, only one sofa was used.

Sifa also turned it into a bed and put it in the corner of the office.

The memory of the whole summer vacation, this is not something that I can read by myself in a short while.

After accepting the memory, Xifa closed his eyes and lay on the bed, sinking into the palace of thinking.

Eat, run, practice magic, brew potions.

Whispering among girlfriends, discussing one's own relationship and attitude, washing... Bite the bullet and watch it.

Weeks of private life memories were quickly flipped through by myself.

Soon, several days passed since Alice was petrified.

Basically, it takes Xifa a day to read a week's worth of memories.

As the memory progressed halfway, Xifa became more and more vigilant in his heart, but his mind became numb.

After all, the abnormality that has not been discovered is definitely in the remaining memory, but observing a person's memory for a long time will eventually be affected to some extent.

Finally, just as the memory fragment came to Professor Dumbledore going to the front, that is, the day after he stopped teaching the two of them.

Cifer thought he had found the answer.

Elise suddenly told Luna that she wanted to go to her grandfather's secret office to take a look at the notebook that recorded the contacts of the Fergus family!

When the memory picture came to the secret room, that is, in front of the Jill flower portrait.

Xifa ended the fast-forwarding screen and began to observe carefully.

Luna and Iris opened the secret door of the portrait...no abnormality.

The two walked all the way from the stairs to the office... nothing unusual.

Luna and Elise separated, and the two of them leafed through notes or books on the humble bookshelves.

This made Xifa feel a little restless.

Because there is no Pensieve, the memory picture is what Luna saw with her own eyes.

Outside the screen, I have no idea what Elise is doing.

Just when Xifa was trying to find some reflective object and zoomed in on the picture to watch it.

"Luna! Come and see, the family portrait of our two families!"

The screen suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that there was a problem with the memory fragment, but that Xifa breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to relieve his numb and tired thinking, and carefully analyze every minute and every second that followed.

After an unknown amount of time, the screen continued.

Luna put down the notes in her hand, and ran all the way to Alice.

The compass, glowing slightly... Sifer keenly noticed this.

Although the compass flashed across Alice's chest, it was blocked by the collar.

But I am sure that the compass has responded.

These two girls were excited because it was their grandfather's office.

No one even noticed the abnormality of the compass.
