Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"Originally, we were just exercising. Elise taught me how to cast the magic in the textbook, and Luna urged me to recite the basics of potions."

After Xifa finished speaking, he paused, he didn't say anything about the awakening secret medicine.

"Now, I should learn the Patronus Charm and Occlumency first."

Um?Sifa's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Professor, can you quickly master Occlumency with the help of external forces?"

"External force?" Dumbledore was surprised.

"For example, taking Veritaserum. I write down a number and I'm asked to train my resistance."

Dumbledore's heart skipped a beat when he first heard Sifer's words.

After listening to it, the cloud in his heart dissipated, and he gave a wry smile inwardly, Xifa was too evasive in doing things, and sometimes he couldn't react.

"Sifa, the use of Veritaserum is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and even the raw materials are difficult to buy in the market. Could it be that Horace was bought by you?"

"No, no, professor, don't get excited," Xifa scratched his head embarrassingly, "We can brew the veritaserum by ourselves. As for the raw materials, we have our own way. These years, Luna sells the potions she brewed It has supported a group of people. We promise that we will not obtain it from other means, nor will it be used in other ways. In this way, the laws of the Ministry of Magic cannot control us, right?"

Hearing this, Dumbledore's face softened slightly.

"Being known, you will face big problems in life, and even be forced to drop out of school by the Ministry of Magic. I can't agree."

Seeing that Dumbledore wanted to let go, Xifa said hastily.

"We want to brew it in a magical room on the eighth floor, not in my dormitory. If someone distributes the potion inside, I don't know whose."

"Eighth floor?" Dumbledore asked in surprise.

"Yes, the troll hit the tapestry of Silly Barnabas, walked back and forth three times, thinking about what kind of room he wanted, and it appeared on the opposite side of the tapestry. Usually, we practice magic in it. We call it The Room of Requirement. That's a little secret for the three of us."

Seeing Xifa's expression was full of resentment.

If he disagreed, Xifa, who was eager to practice, stabbed Lou Zi in private, and he couldn't help it.

Reluctantly, Dumbledore nodded, at least he knew where the three of them were doing things, right?

"If I have time, I will go to experience it."

"Late at night, Professor. We might be inside during the day, when the tapestry won't respond to people who ask differently."

Sifa said with a smile.

Dumbledore glanced at the clock on the wall.

"It's getting late, Sifer, it's time for you to go to dinner. I'm also going to visit an old friend. I won't be with you when I eat at his place."

Seeing that the three of Xifa packed up and walked to the door.

Dumbledore stopped Sifer.

"Sifa, a genius always feels lonely. But he also needs to make more friends. Bring your friends to get in touch with other people of the same age, maybe you can practice Patronus faster."

After speaking, Dumbledore said that he had nothing to do to leave.

And Xifa was also thoughtful.

It's another week, and the trio grab a handful of individual mandrake leaves from herbalism class and decide to pop it in their mouths on the day of the full moon.

"One. A single leaf of the Mandrake must be kept in the mouth continuously for a full month (full moon to full moon - added Luna in a low voice). At no time shall the leaf be swallowed or is to take out the mouth, if the leaf leaves the mouth, the whole process has to start all over again.

[-]. Take out the leaf at full moon, fill a crystal phial with saliva, soak the leaf in it, and let it receive the pure moonlight (if the night is cloudy, you will have to find a new mandrake leaf, Luna added in a low voice again, Elise's eyes gradually became wrong.).To the moonlit crystal phial add a strand of your hair and a silver teaspoon of dew, which must be collected from a place where there has been no sunlight or human touch for a full seven days.Finally add a chrysalis chrysalis.Keep this mixture in a quiet, dark place and don't look at it or disturb it until the next thunderstorm.

[-]. During the period of waiting for the storm, the following actions should be performed every time the sun rises and sets: point the tip of the wand to the heart, and chant the mantra: "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus. "

[-]. Waiting for a storm to come may take weeks, months or even years.During this time, the crystal vial must remain completely undisturbed and out of contact with the sun.Sun pollution will cause the worst mutations.If you keep repeating the spell at sunrise and sunset, there will come a time when the tip of the wand will touch your chest and you will feel a second heartbeat, sometimes stronger than the original, sometimes weaker.Everything must remain unchanged.The mantra must be recited the correct number of times without any omission.

[-]. When the lightning flashes across the sky, immediately go to the place where you buried the crystal vial.If you've done all of the above steps correctly, you'll find a sip of the blood-red potion inside.

[-]. You must move immediately to a wide and safe place, to ensure that the transformation process will not attract attention or put your body in danger.Point the tip of your wand to the heart, say the spell "Amador, Animo, Animador, Animagus" and drink the potion.

[-]. If all goes well, you will feel intense pain and two intense heartbeats.You will have a vision of the creature you are about to transform into.You must show fearlessness before it is too late to escape your promised change.

[-]. The first metamorphosis is usually quite uncomfortable and frightening.Items such as clothing and glasses or jewelry melt into the skin, becoming hair, scales or claws.Don't resist and don't panic, or the animal head may take over and drive you to do stupid things, like jump out of a window or run into a wall.

[-]. Once the transformation is complete, you should find yourself adjusted to your new body.It is highly recommended that you pick up your wand immediately, and store it in a safe place so that you can retrieve it when you return to human form.

[-]. To return to human form, one must visualize oneself in human form as clearly as possible.Usually this is enough, but don't panic if the deformation doesn't happen right away.With practice, you'll be able to switch between animal and human forms at will just by imagining what the creature looks like.

Advanced Animagus can shapeshift without needing a wand. "

"The above are all the steps of Animagus cultivation."

Luna finally didn't add to the major issues she had neglected, and Elise breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the Room of Requirement, and the two are telling Sifa the steps to practice the Animagus.

"We learn Occlumency to maintain sanity, and Patronus Charm can understand the animals that may become in advance, and prepare for loss of control in advance."

Alice clapped her hands vigorously, starlight in her eyes.She seemed to see herself practicing as an Animagus.

"Okay, don't think about it, let's complete the first stage first."

Today is a full moon.

Cifer put a leaf in his mouth.

next month.

Be careful with this leaf yourself.

It's like a big heavy stone has been crushed in my heart.

According to Murphy's law, as expected, Xifa chewed up the leaves halfway.

While eating, he was annoyed on the spot.

I can only wait for the next full moon, what a pity...

The second daughter looked at herself proudly, after all, they did not make such a mistake as themselves.

However, God seems to have made a joke with the two of them.

The second daughter, who had been waiting for a month, encountered dark clouds all over the sky on the day of the full moon.

In order to comfort the crying two, Xifa dryly told a short story about the night.

Finally, the two calmed down.

However, looking at the two sleeping in their own bed.Xifa couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, Transfiguration has made great progress.

Make a single bed and make it for the night.

The three returned to the same starting line again.

However, Xifa, who made an early mistake, gained more than the two.

Cifer doesn't have to worry about strenuous exercise causing the leaves to be swallowed or spit out.

Learned all the magic in the textbook.

Talking about the magic in the textbook, since changing to a new wand, Sifer couldn’t cast magic even if she chanted the spell and waved the wand to a standard enough. It wasn’t until Elise helped herself analyze the spell and drew the most basic magic pattern of the spell, that Sifer could reappear. Has the ability to cast spells.

Everything is petrified, there are many obstacles, the body is broken, and the armor protects the body...

Fireball, freezing, gas cutting...

Xifa didn't even let go of the elf's magic, and learned them all.

Cifer believes that the most practical magic of elves is their teleportation magic.

As long as he perceives where he is, even in Hogwarts, he can teleport.

Recalling that I found Professor Dumbledore and asked him to deal with the split phenomenon caused by my teleportation failure.

However, in the presence of Professor Dumbledore, Sifer's first attempt was successful.

Caught off guard, Dumbledore pulled out a bunch of beard.

The days passed like this day by day, and the children in the castle were able to eat and wear enough every day. The three of Xifa also gradually became stronger, learned new knowledge, and honed their abilities with the help of Veritaserum. will.

But outside of Hogwarts, there is already an undercurrent surging.

In the blink of an eye, Halloween is here.
