Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

Charles was in the hotel lobby without a broom.

Xixiu, who was back on his shoulder, kept shaking his head.

After a long time, Charles spoke forward and asked questions, breaking the silence here.

"My request is not high. Anyone who comes here tonight must come out and let me search."

No one responded.

Charles still waited patiently.

But Bell behind him couldn't hold back any longer. Just as he was about to repeat his question, a mechanical voice from nowhere interrupted him.

"The outsiders who came here tonight have already left."

"And you..."

Charles raised his hand and stopped Bell's words. After a moment of silence, he spat out a word: "Go!"

When he came outside, Charles looked at the hotel in front of him and thought.

"Sir? Shall we call the brothers..."

After speaking, Bell made a kill gesture.

"No, they have their policy of not giving out client information. But they also hinted at us that their people weren't involved. Our target may have just gotten away from them."

Behind Charles, the original small group of people had dispersed.

At this time, there were only him and Bell.

Charles decided to let Bell stay in the surveillance hotel while he found a comfortable place to wait for news.

minutes ago.

Sifa is ready to face the battle.

He pulled Luna, walked carefully to the window, and looked out.

When it came, the bright moonlight had disappeared.

The whole village of Hogsmeade was shrouded in a gray mist.

How can there be fog when the sky is clear and the stars can be seen?Obviously, there is something wrong with this fog!

Luckily, Luna is a little witch with a full lineage of potions masters.

She took out a bezoar and put it in her mouth.

Step forward, and gently fan some outside air into your nose through the gap in the window.

"It's a poisonous leopard! And it's mixed with other toxins, and if you inhale it a little, you'll feel paralyzed."

As Luna whispered, she swiftly took out a bottle of antidote potion and drank it.

Then, she took out two bottles again.

"Sifer, drink a bottle. Use half the bottle to soak the mask, a simple gas mask."

Luna said briefly.

Xifa understood, he took a bottle and drank it without hesitation.

Then he poured the other half of the bottle that Luna handed over onto his mask.

"How dare the entire Hogsmeade village resist."

Several options quickly turned in Xifa's mind.

It is impossible for Grindelwald to come here in person.

His saints?Or his dark son in the British Ministry of Magic?Or a pure blood family?

No matter how you think about it, these people have no reason to oppose Hogwarts at present, let alone an act that marks a break.

It's just a herb, so what? .

As long as it is magic, it will leave traces.Dumbledore's words suddenly appeared in Sifer's mind.

I can use Perception to distract them!

Xifa quickly stated her plan, and Luna thought about it for a while, and she also felt that she could give it a try, so she nodded in agreement.

Xifa held his breath and concentrated, carefully sweeping his spirit to the outside world like spiritual consciousness.

At every intersection I pass by, I will leave a faint magic anchor.

This magic anchor point is actually not complicated. Many wizards will use it. It is combined with another object and a spell called 'Mentos' to form a special teleportation magic called a Portkey.

The biggest disadvantage of this teleportation magic is that you need to leave an anchor in one place before you can reach it with a Portkey.

However, it was these teleportation anchors that made Charles, who was aware of it, have to assign people to monitor.

Suddenly, a special magical wave came from one direction.

Xifa had no time to restrain his mind.

A squeaking sound similar to that made by a monkey suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Oh? Interesting..."

The blurred picture is a man in a black windbreaker squatting on the shoulder of a frog-like monkey.

The man seemed to start chanting strange magic after sighing with emotion.

Xifa could clearly feel the ominous flow of magic power gradually gathering around the man in black.

The current Sifa does not want to fight against the completely unknown black magic.

He quickly withdrew his mind and stopped the perception technique.

"how?"

Seeing Xifa suddenly opened his eyes, his face was also very ugly.

Luna, who was cautiously watching her surroundings, was very anxious.

"We've been spotted, hurry up and go!"

After speaking, Xifa took Luna to the back window, took a cup and turned it into a dagger.

Three times, five times and two times removed the rear window.

"No way? We have tested it, and the looking glass can't detect your perception!"

Luna looked at Sifer with an incredulous expression.

"That man has a monkey on his shoulder, or a frog, I don't recognize it. It found me."

Sifa removed the entire rear window, put it aside casually, and leaned his back against the wall.

Signaled Luna to climb out by stepping on her own hand.

"It's the tree monkey frog, a magical animal that can perceive danger and malice. It should be your hostility that makes it feel dangerous."

While crawling outside, Luna said to Sifer.

Outside, Luna stood on the ground smoothly.

Cifer leaned and handed the window to Luna outside.

He also quickly pulled out of it.

After landing, take the window from Luna and put it back in place, securing it with a few pebbles.

Do not double check.

The window does not appear to have been dismantled.

"Casting spells always leaves traces!"

Dumbledore's warning still echoed in his ears.

Casting spells can interfere with the enemy, and not casting spells can also interfere with the enemy.

That being the case, then I will physically dismantle it, which is why Xifa doesn't use magic spells.

In the backyard, there was a person lying upright on the ground.

It seems to be the guests who had been drinking in the lobby before.

The two walked around him cautiously.

I found a broken shed and got in.

While Xifa was recalling the map of Hogsmeade village and planning the escape route.

A figure suddenly appeared in the backyard.

It's not apparating, and the dress doesn't match the appearance of the person I perceive.

That person's boss or subordinate!

An unknown teleportation-like magic!

Xifa held his breath and hid in the shadows.

With the help of the wreckage of the wine bottle next to him, he observed the picture refracted on it, and various guesses kept appearing in his mind.

Behind him was Luna who huddled into a ball, and Sifer who resisted in order not to hinder the extreme situation.

She didn't dare to reach out and touch Xifa.

In the picture refracted by the wreckage of the wine bottle.

The visitor took out his wand and cast a green spell at the 'dead man' on the ground.

Then he waved it at the wall in front of him, as if checking for traces of magic.

Obviously, he got nothing.

So, he changed into black mist again and disappeared in place.

This scene let Xifa know how this person appeared.

It came flying in the form of black mist, no wonder it was silent.

Xifa quietly counted ten breaths in his heart, and only said to Luna when he saw that there was no movement outside.

"It's not the person I detected. It seems that there are more than one enemy."

"How dare domestic black wizards come here..."

A finger on Luna's mouth stopped her from speaking.

"They're not wizards in England."

Xifa explained in a low voice, "There is a swastika engraved on his wand, and I'm not sure which side of the other country it is from."

"Wait to go back and check... Wait, it turned out to be a bird and snake! Why are the eyes red!"

Hearing this, Xifa quickly pulled Luna into her arms.

A cool air enveloped the two of them, making Luna feel very comfortable, and she even quietly rubbed against Sifa's arms.

Cifer didn't notice Luna's small movements.

He silently watched the bird and snake leave before releasing Luna.

"Sorry, snake eyes should have infrared sensors, I'm worried..."

Xifa's fingers flicked in the air, as if he wanted to tell Luna the principle of snakes and infrared rays through his self-created sign language.

Luna shook her head wordlessly, and Xifa didn't know whether she had made a mistake in her judgment or whether Luna didn't mind the fact that she hugged Luna just now.

The two were silent for a while, and then each cast the Silencer and Illusion spells on themselves.

Because it is acting on oneself, unless you look directly at it, it will not leave traces.

The two got up, taking advantage of the gap between the red-eyed birds and snakes patrolling in the air.

Quietly go outside.
