Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"You look very energetic!"

Transfiguration office on the second floor of the main castle.

Dumbledore looked at the rosy-skinned Sifer and Luna in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Fortunately, thanks to Dr. Fox and Bohan."

Xifa cast a grateful look at Phoenix Fox on the side.

Under Xifa's gaze, Fox spread his wings, expressing his impoliteness.

"Sit down, how many desserts do you want?"

Speaking, Dumbledore took out another dessert plate from the drawer.

Xifa and Luna shook their heads again and again, they didn't want to eat snacks that were too sweet.

"it's a pity..."

Dumbledore sighed and pulled the dessert plate in front of him.

"Professor, the person who attacked us a few days ago..."

As Professor Dumbledore looks like a moment of relaxation after breakfast.

Xifa asked a little embarrassedly.

Dumbledore sighed.

"I'm sorry, none of the black wizards who attacked you were caught. But judging from the traces they left behind, it is true that they used small enchantment magic."

After a moment of hesitation, Dumbledore continued.

"I also went to Hogsmeade Village to inquire about the news. These people are indeed foreign dark wizards. They came here illegally to snatch a potion raw material."

Xifa guessed that Dumbledore should have gone to Aberforth to inquire about the news.

In fact, it is.As the eldest brother, Dumbledore was taunted by his younger brother, until he said that these people chased and killed two school students last night, and Aberforth let go.

Just as Sifa was about to say something, Luna spoke first.

"Norman Dracaena! It's the herb we auctioned off at the Pig's Head Bar."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Norman Dracaena? You asked me to help you find it a long time ago... Wait a minute, Luna, are you doing smuggling behind my back again?!"

Dumbledore's face suddenly became serious, and he looked at Luna with persuasive eyes.

"Professor, Luna is for me..."

Seeing Dumbledore's serious expression, Xifa quickly wanted to put the responsibility on himself.

Never thought that he is not an adult now, Dumbledore subconsciously ignored himself.

"So what?!"

Xifa looked at Luna who suddenly blew up in surprise.

He couldn't believe it, Luna just contradicted Dumbledore?

"You promised me to cure Elise, but you have been busy with this and that every day for so many years. Once you have stabilized Elise's condition, you let go of it. You still keep your mouth shut and use it to perfuse me for the greater good. .”

"The herbs that I still need for Elise and I got them through my hard work! You said you helped me, you have helped me for so many years, and they all know that I am your adopted daughter. They dare not threaten me, but They also know that you will not attack them for no reason, do you know what I am called in the black market?"

"Princess Gallon! My potion is better than people, but I paid more than people! Now! Are you still blaming me? If you could find a grass, how could what happened that day happen?!"

Finally, Luna's voice was hysterical, and Sifer fell silent.

After Dumbledore finished listening, his expression also changed from stern to ashamed.

In the end, he let out a long sigh, lay on his back on the sofa, stared blankly at the ceiling, as if he was remembering someone.

Xifa managed to straighten out the ins and outs of the matter.

But now, he was caught in the middle, not knowing how to speak to break the silence.

However, not knowing what to say did not prevent him from taking Luna to comfort her.

It seems that Dumbledore is not sure who is attacking him.

Fortunately, there is a high probability that they will not be able to enter Hogwarts.

He did not reveal the existence of secret passages.

Because I broke the barrier and teleported to the outside world to escape.

Finally, Luna's mood eased down.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xifa said.

"It's okay, Professor, I will take care of Luna in the future."

Dumbledore came back to his senses and glanced at Sifer.

I opened my mouth, wanting to say that you are also a child.

But when he was about to say it, he thought of himself again. Back then, he was in the first grade to take care of his younger sister who couldn't take care of herself, so he learned the magic of apparating, which even graduate students might not know.

Just to make it easier for me to go home in time after class every day.

Now, Xifa is as good as he was back then.

Even, from some of his handling methods, it can be seen that his thinking is far more mature than that of his young self.

In the end, Dumbledore remained silent and expressed his acquiescence. In the future, he would no longer care what the two did, as long as they did not harm the students of Hogwarts.

"Sometimes, the breakdown of the relationship between the elders and the younger generation is caused by the accumulation of little things."

Saifa said softly,

"Professor, if you can't keep the promise you made to Luna, you should also apologize in time. Adults are arrogant to children, thinking that everything they do is for the children's good, but they don't know how much the child's heart will be hurt. .”

...

Dumbledore was dumbfounded after a meal of poisonous chicken soup.

After a long time, he smiled wryly, got up and apologized solemnly to Luna.

"I'm sorry, Professor, to get you into such a bad situation when you got out of bed. But next, I have good news and a request."

Hearing this, Dumbledore, who received Luna's understanding response, also laughed again.

"Coincidentally, I also have good news. Just a word. Elise will be back at school tonight."

"Really?!"

After crying silently beside Sifa, Luna suddenly jumped up.

In a daze, Xifa saw Elise's figure playing tricks on others, and he couldn't help suspecting that Luna was faking hysteria just to avoid a lecture...

Luna didn't care that she showed her 'opening'.At this moment, she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Normally, it would take nearly half a month for Alice to recover.

So fast, can't you say...

"Yes, Elise's condition has been greatly relieved recently. It gave me a glimpse of the possibility of a cure."

Hearing Dumbledore's affirmative answer, Luna exclaimed excitedly that it was great.

Although Xifa didn't know what Elise's illness was, Dumbledore said that there was a possibility of a cure, so there was nothing that couldn't be solved.

The subconscious made Xifa ignore what Dumbledore said.

"It's our turn to have good news."

Cifer and Luna looked at each other and raised their wands at the same time.

"Call for God's Guard"

On the tip of Xifa's staff, the lizard-shaped Patronus still appeared.

As for Luna, a ball appeared.

This ball is the product of teaching Luna how to cast the Patronus Charm after Xifa succeeded last night.

The two don't know what it is, but it doesn't prevent them from being independent physical patron saints.

Dumbledore saw the patron saint of the two appear, and there was no thread attached to the wand.

He couldn't help applauding.

Stepping forward to observe carefully, he said to the two of them.

"This is like the infancy of some kind of creature. You still need to use more and better emotions to make them grow. To be honest, that is me, I can answer you. No one else has seen this situation. Related There is no record. You know, back then, my patron saint was also an egg, until I saw... anyway, it finally turned into a phoenix."

After listening, Xifa's heart skipped a beat.

"Professor, you said Phoenix?! Then we are also magical creatures?!"

"That's right. Congratulations, your Patronus is much stronger than that of ordinary wizards. If your senior Newt was here, he might tell you what kind of magical creature it is."

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know that much about magical creatures."

Dumbledore smiled. He thought Sifer's expression was expressing his shock that he didn't know what kind of juvenile magical animal it was.

"No...professor," Sifa swallowed and asked nervously. "Professor, do you know Animagus?!"

"I won't!" Dumbledore replied bluntly, and then he understood something.

"You want to learn the Animagus?"

Xifa nodded his head.

"This... is a bit difficult. I need to confirm a message before I can give you an answer."

"It's okay, professor, we can afford to wait. Learning Animagus is also to better exert the effect of the awakening secret medicine. We won't be able to use it in a short time."

Later, Xifa obtained the magic of Legilimency from Dumbledore as he wished.

He dragged Luna to the Room of Requirement.

His sick leave is until tomorrow at the latest, when he will go to class.

----------

In a hidden corner of Hogwarts.

A young boy is making a deal with a figure.

"Give me strength, and I will help you!"

The boy's tone was stubborn and firm. It was clearly a deal, but when he said it, it seemed like he was ordering his subordinates and collecting debts.

The figure smiled softly.

"No problem, this is a powerful curse magic, you can learn it. Here is what you need to do."

The boy snatched the magic from the figure's hand, and reluctantly accepted the envelope.

"I want more!"

I looked it up on the spot and found that there is really only one magic.

Oh no, two, and the cure for the curse.

The boy is not satisfied.

"Boy, you came to me because you longed for power, and I can still find someone else. If I didn't urgently need your identity to help me do things, you wouldn't even get a single spell."

"Humph--"

Hearing this, the boy left here indignantly.

The figure was silent here for a moment, his expression changed, and he finally confirmed his plan.

For planning, all sacrifices are worth it.
