Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

Yes, the idea of ​​Xifa comes from the original work.

Harry dreamed that Ron's father was attacked by Voldemort's snake.A villain in the painting left his portrait at Hogwarts to help check the news in the portrait of himself hanging in the Ministry of Magic thousands of miles away.

And the free movement that Xifa said is this kind of free movement that as long as you are drawn in the magic painting, you can shuttle through it.

At first, Xifa didn't think of this, he thought it was the use of Transfiguration.

It's like a fake Galleon made by Hermione, just change the master.

However, the last picture that appeared...

Allowing oneself to negate the change of the newspaper is the application of Transfiguration.

"Does the pure-blood family know this magic painting technique?"

Hearing Sifa's question, Alice answered without thinking.

"Not many, and our family's magic painting technique is the strongest!"

Elise's proud voice echoed in Sifa's empty mind...

After waiting for a long time, Xifa still did not move.

Alice couldn't help stretching out her hand, shaking it in front of Sifa's eyes.

Seeing that Xifa still pretended to be a master without saying a word, he directly pinched the tip of Xifa's nose.

"Don't make trouble!"

Sifa lightly patted Eliza's hand away, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, turned around and hugged Alice in his arms.

"I have two things to tell you."

"First thing about Elise."

There was a pause in the voice in her mind, and Luna looked at Elise with embarrassment when she saw Sifa.

She seemed to understand something.

Luna took Elise's hand, nodded slightly to Sifa, and then looked at Elise with encouraging eyes.

"Don't make it so heavy, the things that can make me heartbroken now must have something to do with you."

Alice grimaced and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll be straight!"

Sifer tightened his arms.

"The unexpected death of your parents may be related to the Daily Prophet."

"Why do you say that?" Alice was a little confused, but Luna completely understood.

"Magic painting! Elise! The entire newspaper, you see it as a magical painting!"

"Newspaper... magic painting!"

Yes, Alice did not expect that this kind of newspaper that was not framed and printed directly could be regarded as a different kind of magic painting.

She remembered the sudden change in the content of the Daily Prophet just now, as well as Xifa's excessive actions.

"How dare they!" Alice couldn't help shouting.

After a long time, Cefer patted Iris on the back.

"Have you calmed down yet?"

"This matter is just my guess. After all, you also said that there are other families that have magic painting skills comparable to yours."

"When we have a chance to meet Professor Dumbledore, we will tell him about it. Maybe he can help us find the answer."

Seeing Alice nodded silently, Sifa slowly let her go, and Luna who was comforting her took over.

Seeing the two hugging each other face to face, Xifa shook his head with an indescribable mood.

"Let's talk about the second thing. As you said just now, there are special magic paintings in which the characters can travel freely and have their portraits."

"Just now I suspected that the wizards in the painting wanted to see what we looked like, and then report some news to the person who provided the photos."

"Can't you?" Luna couldn't believe it.

Cifer glanced at her, then sighed.

"I also hope that my guess is wrong, but I did feel threatened just now."

"Doesn't that mean? The Daily Prophet has the purpose of monitoring the entire wizarding world?"

Alice finally came to her senses, she exclaimed in the minds of the two of them.

"Yeah... Otherwise, if you come out sooner or later, but when Luna utters suspicious words, a suspicious wizard appears in the photo... and I want to look out of the screen to see who it is..."

"No wonder..." Alice's eyes widened, she understood why Sifa had burned the newspaper with fierce fire just now.

I also understand why Xifa wrapped all the snacks in a big bag, and the dialogue between the three also used the palace of thinking, and did not say a sensitive word in this world.

Before knowing how to find and block these magic paintings, these magic paintings may be pervasive.

Full or clipped daily prophets, paintings on snack bags, patterns on train cars...

Or even some humble clock...

Sifer took a deep look at the dial of the clock with the Ministry of Magic logo painted on it.

"When we get back to Hogwarts, let's pack up our quarters and backpacks."

"That's not necessary." Xifa thought for a while and denied Luna's idea.

"It doesn't mean that we don't clean it up. Our dormitory can be left alone. The Room of Requirement and backpacks must be cleaned up. Try not to talk about sensitive topics in other places in the castle. If you have something to do, contact the Hall of Thought."

"Understood..."

Indeed, all of Hogwarts, if you can't see anything anywhere...

It doesn't seem to matter... Xifa felt that she was just scaring herself.

What kind of little people are you and others, and it is worth spending a lot of time to specifically target them?

Just cast a wide net, just in case you encounter any rare news.

This is probably the earliest application of big data, right?

......

------

The next conversation is still going on in the thinking hall.

"The Daily Prophet can be printed in batches, and changes can be made in a timely manner...We can't afford to provoke this kind of force. We are just students, so leave these matters to Professor Dumbledore."

The heavy topic stopped Xifa, and he called Dumbledore when he was undecided.

Although Dumbledore was somewhat unreliable in his actions, he had to be said that he was one of the umbrellas that had no ill will toward them, and he was still the best to use.

Helena can't leave Hogwarts at will!

"Maybe the professor will thank us, we helped him find a way to leak the secret..."

Luna responded with a smile.

"By the way, Xifa, the professors are very busy. Do you think this year's opening ceremony, besides Professor Slughorn, who other wizards can attend the sorting ceremony?"

Alice suddenly thought of something, she looked at Sifa excitedly, and patted the back of Luna's hand.

"Let me guess...should be Slughorn alone? After all, such a big thing happened today. The content of the Daily Prophet has been changed, and there is no reason for the professors not to know."

Xifa answered her question honestly, but he was still the same as Luna, he didn't understand what Alice was suddenly excited about.

Slughorn was now the Vice-Chancellor, and obviously he had to be there.

What?How did the three of them know that Slughorn was the vice-headmaster?Look at Cassandra's admission letter!

If Professor Slughorn could not be present, there would not be a professor in the chair for the Sorting Ceremony.

Will the student body president preside over the sorting ceremony?

The president of the student union seems to belong to the Malfoy family. Could it be that Elise wants to do something?Probably!If only Slughorn presided over the sorting ceremony, as long as Elise didn't go too far...

For example, the entire scene of the sorting ceremony was blown up.

Slughorn didn't dare to breathe too much in front of serious Elise.
