Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

In the middle of the field, the professors and Matthew had a good chat.

"Matthew, my old friend, you can come today, which simply makes this boring Christmas joyful and interesting. At first, this banquet was only my private banquet. When I heard that you were coming to Hogwarts, Dumbledore hastened to ask me to throw a big party in the Great Hall."

During this special time, Professor Slughorn actually got some alcoholic drinks.

It turned out that tomorrow was the Christmas holiday, and tonight, Slughorn planned to indulge himself in advance.

After drinking, Slughorn's mind became less sober, he couldn't straighten his big tongue, and started talking nonsense.

Dumbledore on one side rubbed his forehead with a slight headache, and quickly cast a shielding spell around the three of them.

Who knows what outrageous things Slughorn can say, the three of them just need to listen to them, let the little wizard know, I'm afraid it won't ruin Hogwarts' reputation. .seven

"Oh! My old friend! You know me too well. You have been running back and forth these days, but when I see these little wizards with smiling faces, I think it's worth it for me to be a little bit tired!" Matthew drank It was also a bit over the top, and began to talk nonsense without restraint.

The two of them held hands and hooked shoulders.

It was almost crying, it was a scene where brothers who had been separated for many years recognized their relatives.

Sifa, who seemed to have noticed this scene inadvertently, dropped his jaw in shock.

--------

Heard a lot of stories about Matthew Peters.Xifa actually had some sympathy for this man.

I don't know if his exaggerated posture is just for show, or it is a characteristic of wizards in this era.

But to be honest, being the director of the Department of International Affairs in this era is definitely not a good job.

In this era, if you try to gain power in the Department of Wizarding International Affairs, you can make a lot of money.

I advise you to wash up and sleep well, there is everything in the dream.

A few years ago, the first wizarding war had just ended, and the descendants of those wizards who died in the battle were now in their prime.

There is no doubt that the blood feud engraved in their hearts cannot be resolved by the enemy's surrender and compensation.

What's more, Grindelwald, who just escaped from prison a few years ago, staged a big show in Paris, which brought fear to the hearts of wizards from all over the world and left a harbinger of war.

Now the ministries of magic of various countries are doing their own thing, and they are all secretly stockpiling strategic materials.There is only one fuse missing, so the situation between countries can be said to be quite delicate.

Naturally, no one listened to the opinions and instructions of the Department of Wizarding International Affairs.

In short, Matthew at this time is just a mascot with the name of the director of the Department of International Affairs, and a 'messenger' for information, communication and exchange between the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

Once someone is dissatisfied with their work, or finds an excuse to create conflicts.

This nominal executive will become the target of public opinion, and even, in extreme cases, his life will be lost.

You know, during the last wizarding war, the ministers of the Ministry of Magic of many countries died unexpectedly.

During the whole process, Xifa's gaze swept over Dumbledore vaguely, and suddenly, he saw Dumbledore tap his finger on the table twice.

Xifa hurriedly put the alchemy equipment stuffed by Dumbledore on his earlobe...

Fortunately, it's a men's earring, otherwise the two seniors might pay special attention to this.

Wearing this earring, the chat information of the three professors was transmitted to Xifa's ears.

"...Sifer? What does your coming here have to do with Sifer? He is one of my best students!"

Just in time, Slughorn talked about why Matthew paid so much attention to Xifa.

"Horace...I just want to ask Sifer what he knows about the Hogsmeade attack. It would be better if he handed over his memory."

"You should know that although the three wizards came to the UK illegally, their external identities are German soldiers and officers."

"The German Ministry of Magic told me that Hogwarts set up a portal. These soldiers were British frontline wizards who sneaked across the dividing line and used the portal to plunder them here."

"Austin Charles, that's right, that's the name. He and his men desperately escaped from the dungeon where they were held. They created a big commotion in Hogsmeade in order to find a chance to escape."

"Unfortunately, in the end they died for the country."

"I came here this time to know the beginning and end of the matter. If I mediate, will this conflict between countries be avoided."

With that, Matthew fixed Slughorn with his pitiful eyes.

Professor Slughorn, who was drunk, straightened his face, raised his hand and was about to slap his chest to confirm the ticket. He felt that with his own face, Sifer should readily hand over his memories at that time.

However, at this moment, he noticed a dissatisfied gaze from the side, and following his gaze, he saw Dumbledore staring at him expressionlessly.

At that moment, Slughorn shuddered.He came to himself.

He opened his mouth and squeezed out a few words with difficulty.

"Sorry, I... I can't help you... But you can ask Albus for the details, he killed those wizards himself."

Matthew's eyes widened. He was negotiating from abroad, so naturally it was not the news inside Hogwarts.

In the few words of information he received, it was Xifa who killed three foreign wizards.

I was skeptical, but it was not impossible for a young wizard to kill an adult wizard by mistake.

I originally wanted to get a copy of the memory of this little wizard who was involved in right and wrong, and after the inspection, I vouched for him. Even if the little wizard killed a wizard from another country by mistake, it would not be a big deal, he was just a child.

However, now that he heard Slughorn's stumbling words, he also understood that there was something else hidden in it.

Matthew slowly turned his gaze to Dumbledore, with a stiff smile on his face.

He didn't know how to express his request to this wizard who was as famous as Grindelwald.

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't embarrass him.

Seeing Matthew looking at him, Dumbledore nodded without hesitation, admitting that he did it.It seemed that killing the three black wizards was nothing more than trampling a few ants to death.

Yes, the chaos created by these three dark wizards not only threatened the lives of the residents of Hogsmeade, but even the students of Hogwarts were on the verge of life and death.

Dumbledore has enough reasons to deal with the public opinion of the outside world.

But Dumbledore's next words made Matthew feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Okay, after the details, I will go to my office later for a detailed discussion."

"There is one thing that I don't understand. How did you know that Hogwarts has a portal?"

Portal? !

When Matthew said it before, Xifa didn't pay much attention.

Now that Dumbledore mentioned it, he realized that the portal is the top secret of Hogwarts, and ordinary people cannot touch it.
