Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

This was the first time that Xifa took a close look at the dean of his college, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Today's vice-principal Brant is wearing a blue-blue long wizard robe, with a beard and well-groomed hair.

Although at this time, his gray eyes did not look directly at him, and the work in his hand did not stop, but Sifa, who was sitting in the wheelchair on the side, always felt that Vice Principal Brant was examining himself.

Suddenly Vice Principal Brant stopped what he was doing. He sat up straight, frowning, with a serious expression and cold eyes.He seemed to be suppressing a burst of anger.

Surprised by Xifa, he thought it was Vice Principal Brandt who was dissatisfied with him.

However, Vice Principal Brant didn't say anything. After a while, he sighed and raised his hand to rub his forehead. Afterwards, the old man's body, which had just sat upright under the emotional fluctuations, arched slightly again.

Vice-principal Brant organized the pen and paper documents in front of him, and put them in different positions on one side.

Only then did he raise his head.

Naturally, this was the first time Vice Principal Brant looked at Xifa squarely since Xifa entered the office today.

"I just went on a business trip to discuss how to deal with the upcoming wizard war, and this kind of thing happened again in the school."

Vice-principal Brant continued dryly in a tone that could not be heard with any attitude or emotion.

"About why two little wizards who went to the hunting ground to work in confinement and a little witch who was supposed to be in the castle appeared in the Forbidden Forest and went to the tribe of the centaur. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

After speaking, Vice Principal Brant stared at Sifa without blinking.

If I hadn't been a student at Hogwarts, I'm afraid he would have cast Legilimency on me...

Xifa couldn't help feeling guilty, and said in a lower voice than usual.

"Professor, this was just an accident..."

Before Sifa could finish his sentence, Vice Principal Brandt interrupted Sifa's words.

His eyes looked directly at Xifa, but there was a hint of impatience in his eyes, still dry and seemingly lifeless.

"Of course I know that you were attacked by a dark wizard by accident, and I also know that you come from a Muggle family, which Albus himself admitted. Otherwise, I would definitely suspect that you were sent by another country to destroy the stable life of Hogwarts chess piece."

"I'm too lazy to ask Elise. She will only take all the responsibility on herself. To be honest, I really have nothing to do with her like this. I think you will tell me her detailed experience."

Xifa suddenly realized that it is normal for a high-ranking vice-principal to have his own enemies, and it is also normal for him to be helpless with his only granddaughter—probably...

So, he summed up some of the things Luna and Alice told him and his own experience, and explained the ins and outs of this incident to Vice Principal Brant.

However, Xifa omitted some information, especially the initial conflict with Charles was because a dragon's beard he ordered was cut off in the auction house of the Pig's Head Bar.

Of course, Vice-Principal Brant also knew that an invisible ghost controlled the students and held Dumbledore back.

If Professor Slughorn, the head of Slytherin, hadn't rushed back, Dumbledore would not have been able to deal with the disturbance in the castle.

What a coincidence, the enemy just picked this time point, and these professors have to deal with the follow-up of Hogsmeade and discuss how to deal with the wizard war.

All this seems to be an accident to ambush his granddaughter.

Because Xifa said, it was Alice who suddenly agreed to save the unicorn, and the leader of the unicorn also admitted it.

But Ogg is going to investigate carefully, even if unicorns don't conspire with dark wizards...

The memory of the little wizards in the Great Hall that day is non-existent, they thought they were as usual.

Dumbledore asked the alchemist Nicole Flamel for a way to lift the curse. A week has passed, and now everything inside the castle can be said to be resolved.

At present, the biggest trouble is actually a letter from the International United Ministry of Magic to himself, which accuses Dumbledore of attacking and killing three wizards from other countries, thus delusionally provoking a wizard war.

Vice-principal Brandt suppressed his anger just now, and he felt that this wording made people laugh out loud.

We at Hogwarts have not sued three foreign wizards who came to the British wizarding world illegally, posing a huge threat and harm to the physical and mental safety of Hogwarts students!

"I see, how is Luna? Her grandfather asked me to take care of her more. I didn't expect her..."

"She's fine now, waiting for me outside the door."

"Well, there is nothing else to do, take your wand and study in the castle with peace of mind."

Vice-Principal Brant took Sifer's wand from the drawer and placed it on the table.

Xifa understands the subtext of Vice Principal Brandt's drive away.

He reached out to pick up his wand, saluted, and turned the wheelchair around.

'Walk' out of the vice principal's office.

Only then did Xifa feel how free the atmosphere outside was.

Sure enough, if you can't be in a high position, you will never have that kind of overwhelming momentum.

"My grandfather didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Before the office door was closed, Alice asked anxiously.

Xifa felt warm in his heart, of course he couldn't dismantle Brant.

"Of course not, let's go."

After the voice fell, Luna stretched out her hand to close the office door.

In the office, Vice-Principal Brandt showed a dumbfounding expression to Luna.

When the door was closed, Vice Principal Brant's expression was serious, and then, a vague smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No need, Elise."

Luna and Elise pushed Sifer down the aisle, and Sifer whispered to her.

"I'm not talking for you, you know, that person made me and Luna wait outside the door for a long time." Alice turned into a bun face with anger.

"Okay, okay, calm down, Alice, where are we going next?" Luna smiled and hit Alice, and said something to stop Alice, and at the same time gave Alice a step down.

Xifa also smiled, relieved the pressure, and soon the three of them came to the end of the stairs.

The Charms office is on the fourth floor, while Dumbledore's Transfiguration office is on the second floor.

After thinking about it, I need to go down the stairs when I wait for someone to go back to the dormitory.

Cifer proposed to stop by Dumbledore's office, and Luna and Elise nodded in agreement.

Alice is better at magic spells than Luna, and the silent beast makes her magic power almost endless under normal conditions.

Naturally, she cast the floating spell and carried Sifa down the stairs.

On the stairs, I met a group of grumpy Gryffindors.

Seeing the appearance of the three of them, they stopped fighting at the same time. They greeted the three of them with a smile, and asked enthusiastically if they needed help.

The three of Xifa also responded to them in a friendly manner, waved their hands and smiled and said no.

Watching this group of people fight and disappear at the end of the stairs above.

Only then did Sifa look away.

"Is there a problem?" Luna asked softly.

"No, yes, there is a problem because there is no problem...Let's go to Professor Dumbledore first."

Sifa was silent for a moment, then replied, "I want to know what happened in the castle after I left."

The three continued to walk, and between the stairs on the third floor and the second floor, Xifa met a freshman who impressed him——Tom Riddle.

What surprised him even more was that Tom took the initiative to greet him.

"Sifa, why did you become so weak? Do you still need a woman to help you?"

It was so annoying when she opened her mouth, Elise frowned, and wanted to refute, but Luna took her hand to stop her from speaking.

"Trust Sifer!" This was Luna's mouth shape, and Alice nodded slightly.

"What? Can I understand that you are envious of my back that I can completely rely on?"

Sifer frowned, and changed into a more comfortable position in the wheelchair. Since they were coming down the stairs, Sifer seemed to be looking down on Tom.

"Hmph! Your own strength is the foundation, so you just say that you are powerful. Can you still be stronger than me now?"

oh?Tell me?Xifa finds it interesting. Does Tom care about the decline in his own strength, he is empty without an opponent, or guess that he is practicing forbidden techniques in order to master stronger power?

"Where do you care what I did? Have you been to the Forbidden Forest?" The seemingly plain words made Tom's heart tighten.

"I have never been to the Forbidden Forest! Unlike you, it is said that I violated the school rules twice."

After speaking, Tom left in a hurry.

"What's the matter with him?" Alice was a little confused, and said 'well', why did he leave suddenly?

"Let's talk about it when we get back, there are so many people here!" When Xifa glanced at the portraits hanging on both sides of the stairs, they closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, as if they hadn't been watching the excitement just now.

However, it has to be said that Tom's sudden appearance and messing around caused an idea to arise in Xifa's mind, which he left behind.
