Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

When Luna came to Alice.

Her gaze also shifted to the photo in Alice's hand.

I have seen this photo myself, it is the portrait turned upside down on the simple bookshelf.

At that time, I felt that there was something wrong with Elise's mother's eyesight, but looking at it now, there were indeed subtle changes.

Before, I felt that her eyes were asking for help.

Now it looks like the hunter is eyeing the prey.

If ordinary people show such eyes to them.

Elise and Luna will definitely feel their malice.

However, this is probably the only photo of their relatives.

They subconsciously ignored this inappropriateness.

For the rest of the picture, Xifa really wanted to hold his forehead with one hand to show that he had no eyes to look down.

Elise says she wants to save a photo.

Although Luna was eager, she held back after all.

This is the office of Vice Principal Fergus, and it was supposed to be Alice who inherited these things.

Elise put the photo in a locket, took off the compass, and gave it to Luna.

Then put the locket on the neck...

At this point in the picture, Xifa withdrew his mind from the memory picture and came to the present world.

------

In this world, it was already the fifth night after Alice was locked in this office.

Cassandra had just taken Luna's place.

From her to the depths of Elise's heart, talk to her to relieve boredom and use the Patronus to prop up the barrier so that Elise can rest.

Luna stood up and stretched, stretching her slightly tense muscles, and just sank herself into the sofa.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that Xifa got up from the bed with bright eyes.

"What did you find?" Luna lowered her voice and asked in a low voice.

"Did you get a family photo?" Xifa answered without stopping.

"Yes!" Luna seemed to understand something, she hurriedly followed Sifer's pace, and at the same time took out her wand, and untied the compass rope wrapped around her wrist with her other hand.

Sifa came to the opposite side of Alice, carefully pressed Cassandra under her body, and stretched out her hand to the back of Alice's neck.

From the front because he wanted to make sure the locket was always in his line of sight.

And pressing Cassandra under him is to protect her.

Just when Xifa's fingers touched a silver chain like a rope along Alice's cold and smooth skin.

A fiery delicate body was pasted on the back.

It was Luna, who tied the compass to Sifa's chest, then retreated to the back of Sifa's side, the tip of her staff was lit up, ready to meet Xifa at any time.

so far so good...

Sifa breathed a sigh of relief.

All went well, and the locket still hung on Elise's neck.

Nothing unusual happened on the way.

but open...

Xifa took out a set of silver cauldrons and floated beside him, and came to a place far away from Alice and Cassandra.

Then he threw the locket into the crucible, and then turned the two silver knives into mechanical claws, controlling it to open the locket.

Throughout the process, the glow of the compass showed that everything was normal.

Xifa froze in place without saying a word, while Luna watched quietly from the side.

It might be the breath of Sifa that alarmed Elise or Cassandra.

Cassandra also stopped casting the Imperius Curse on Elise.

She also wakes up and comes behind Luna.

"It doesn't make sense, is this just an ordinary photo?"

The detection circle checked again and again, but there was still no abnormal feedback.

Xifa finally made up his mind and took out the photos from the locket.

The photos are reversed inside, when the frontal picture is presented in front of me.

Xifa's pupils shrank slightly.

Elise's mother, her features are gone!

"The Faceless Man?"

Behind Sifa, Cassandra murmured softly.

Faceless man? !

Cassandra handed Xifa a key to open the door of Fengchen's memory.

Xifa took it without hesitation and opened the door with it.

He remembered that the forces of the Faceless Man said that there is a passage leading to hell below Hogwarts.

"Is it the means of hell?"

Xifa said with a bitter expression.

Regarding the means of hell, I have read a lot of books, and there are very few of them that I mentioned, let alone the magic of hell.

At this moment, the ring on Cassandra's hand shimmered.

"Hell?" Cassandra's voice was more mature.

Xifa suddenly turned his head and found that Cassandra's ring was shining slightly, and he knew that the person in front of him was Lady Diana.

She is temporarily using Cassandra's body to communicate with herself.

"Yes, Hogwarts has experienced in the first half of the year..."

As Xifa talked, he felt that oral narration alone could not fully express what he meant.

So he waved his wand, and the picture in his memory appeared in front of Cassandra.

"Albus only told me that Hogwarts experienced a catastrophe, and you participated in the solution. I don't know the specifics until now..."

"Hell... What kind of scene did you see in Elise's heart?"

Looking at the dark red hue of the whole body, the picture of blood-like magma continuously gushing from the ground.

Cassandra frowned.

She walked in front of Alice with mature steps.

A holy tune sang from his mouth.

Cassandra's wand simultaneously emitted waves of milky white light.

Xifa recognized that it was Patronus magic, and Mrs. Diana seemed to be using Patronus magic with a special spell to test something.

At first, nothing unusual happened when the light waves brushed against Alice's snow-white skin.

But as Cassandra sang over and over again, the light waves became more and more dense, and black lines that looked like dead branches and arranged like spider webs began to appear on Alice's body.

Afterwards, Alice's lower abdomen seemed to begin to bulge faintly.

Seeing this, the pupils of Cassandra, Xifa and others shrank slightly at the same time.

Xifa was about to ask if there was anything wrong.

Cassandra quickly interrupted her chanting and withdrew her wand.

The black line on Alice's skin and the bulge on her lower abdomen slowly returned to their original shape.

"It is indeed parasitic, and fortunately Cassandra awakened the petrified gaze in time."

Cassandra's eyes changed from mature to innocent, and the ring in her hand shone brighter.

Diana Cassiopeia once again appeared in front of Xifa and others as a projection.

"Parasite? What do you mean?"

It was too late to say hello to Mrs. Diana, and Xifa, who was anxious in his heart, asked directly. He thought of something bad to take over.

"Devils are very difficult to kill. They only need to have a trace of breath left, and they can use this trace of breath to live a new life."

"However, such a time is long, and they have another method, which is parasitism."

"Is it like seizing a house?" Xifa suddenly interjected.

"What? Seize the house? You mean to replace it? Of course not. After maturity, the parasitic demon will abandon the host."

Lady Diana frowned as she spoke.

"You shouldn't, it stands to reason...Sifa, you do as I tell you!"
