Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"Why do you think the little wizard is the same as usual?"

Dumbledore's expression didn't change much after hearing Sifer's confusion.

For this matter, Xifa felt very puzzled, why?Such a big thing happened in the school, and the little wizards didn't even think it happened.

You know, what I did in Hogsmeade at that time made the little wizards in the castle panic, but this time it was in Hogwarts castle!

Could it be that the professor cast an Oblivion Curse on the little wizard?Or the diluted Winged Demon venom?

Dumbledore naturally noticed that Sifer's eyes were cloudy and uncertain. Naturally, he also realized that Sifer had misunderstood.

And everything that happened so far was watched by Elise and Luna who were sitting on the big sofa and snuggling together.

The so-called authorities are obsessed, and bystanders are clear. Uh, that's not right. Xifa doesn't know about this curse, and he hasn't told him about it.

Alice and Luna looked at each other tacitly, and they made the same decision. They didn't know what the puppet scarecrow curse was. They only learned about this curse from Dumbledore today.

"The curse of the puppet scarecrow is quite special. It is different from ordinary curses and has obvious traces of magic." Dumbledore explained to Xifa.

"General curses happen in person, but this curse is a long-term poisoning, casting spells, etc., it is a magic that changes the composition little by little."

"In the end, when the curse was planted, this person was no different than usual in terms of behavior and magic fluctuations."

"Even afterwards, they don't remember it all. Instead they think it's a normal activity."

After listening to Dumbledore's explanation of the curse, Sifa understood.

This curse has been lurking in the caster's body for a long time, so when it occurs, it is silent and there is no magic fluctuation.The activation condition is set by the caster, maybe seeing a purple apple, maybe a pink bird...

After being controlled by the spellcaster, they are like an illusion. They still think that they are living a normal life, but they don't know that they have been manipulated in reality.

Really, even if they searched their memories afterwards, they still don't know what happened at that time.

Xifa's heart shuddered. The methods of the black wizards are really cunning and unpredictable. It seems that he really needs to learn some methods of the black wizards... At least, he must understand!

Next, Dumbledore told Sifer what happened in the castle after he left, and at the same time, he once again apologized for not being able to help Sifer in time.

Xifa remained silent, shaking his head to indicate that it was okay.

It is true that Dumbledore cannot be blamed for the three of them being in deep danger.

The invisible spirit temporarily made Dumbledore helpless, and could only stay in the auditorium and stare blankly at it.

"It should be dead." Dumbledore hesitated, "I saw it turned into fireworks, and its body turned into dust." What about special means of escape?

"This matter should be considered over. Recently, through my connections in the wizarding world, I am looking for who is planning everything."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Sifer nodded to express his understanding. Dumbledore was giving himself another explanation. He wanted to help himself out, and he also helped himself take some sight off, so that potential enemies could focus on him.

The most urgent thing now is to return to daily study and life, Xifa sighed, this is really difficult.

I am like a useless person now, and I still need the help of Luna and Elise for long-distance actions.

I wanted to ask myself how to take care of myself, but I encountered a little problem when I came here.

Xifa hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell what happened just now.

"Professor, I think the person who shot Luna in the Forbidden Forest was Tom Riddle..." Sifer told Dumbledore in detail the conversation between the two just now, and also said his guess about Tom. come out.

"You mean, because of Tom's momentary hesitation, you assumed he was recalling scenes from the Forbidden Forest?"

Dumbledore couldn't believe it, but Sifer was not a little wizard who secretly slandered other people's characters, so he couldn't hold his attention. At present, he still "prefers" Tom very much.

In the end, Dumbledore thought for a long time and heaved a long sigh.

He still didn't believe it, but what Cefer said...he'd test Tom.

Seeing Dumbledore's hesitant expression, Sifer managed to resist asking why Dumbledore cared so much about Tom. He couldn't understand such a violent, cunning and dark potential dark wizard...

Forget it, as long as you are strong, no matter what Tom does, as long as you don't interfere with yourself.

Pressing his thoughts to the bottom of his heart, Xifa broke the silence: "Besides these two things, there is one more important thing I need the help of the professor."

Dumbledore looked at him and nodded to show that he was listening.

Sifa didn't speak any more, but turned to look at Alice.

Seeing Sifa's eyes looking at herself, Alice understood and handed Sifa's wand to him.

The spells she cast all the way just now were all using Xifa's wand.

"Flaming"

After taking the wand, Xifa waved the wand slightly.

A flame the size of a washbasin emerged from the tip of the staff.It disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye, and only a wave of heat proved its appearance.

This power is about the same level as that of ordinary first-year freshmen.

Dumbledore understood that Sifer was showing that his current strength was only these, and he needed some new means.

"Tell me what you think, what direction do you have?" Dumbledore looked at Sifer with interest, Sifer would never choose black magic, right?

There are a lot of powerful magic that Xifa can cast now, but it is magic that is exhausted.With each spell cast, Sifa will soon become a ghost.Yes, I can't even graduate.

"Alchemy, professor, I want to learn alchemy." Xifa stroked the wheelchair with an inexplicable tone. He wanted to build a pair of armor for himself.

"You want to learn alchemy?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

You know, many little wizards gave up because of the obscure alchemy, and Xifa actually asked about this.

Xifa spread his hands and told Dumbledore his thoughts. Since he can't do it himself, he can supplement it with external things.

The current self is not capable of taming a powerful and tacit pet.

Dumbledore didn't answer immediately, he was also thinking about the current situation of Sifa.

The total amount of magic power is okay, but the 'water valve' that outputs magic power cannot be fully opened due to mental damage in the 'output power'.

Practicing more may speed up mental recovery, but ordinary magic is not suitable for Xifa to practice for a long time.

Dumbledore had been prepared for a long time, and he had wanted Sifer to learn this kind of magic a long time ago.
