Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

The Transfiguration classroom is on the first floor, and Dumbledore’s Transfiguration office is on the second floor.

Parting with Elise and Luna at the stairway on the second floor, they watched the two cast the illusion spell and then disappeared from sight. They reached the third floor before Xifa walked to the stairway on the second floor alone.

At the corner, two freshmen from Gryffindor came face to face and almost collided face to face, startling both parties.

Xifa walked silently, but at this time, he was also worried and did not pay attention to the surrounding environment.

The freshmen were playing around and naturally didn't notice Xifa who was walking quietly.

Both sides took half a step back to collect themselves.

As expected, Gryffindor's little lion took the lead in saying hello to Xifa and broke the deadlock.

Xifa is their assistant teacher in the Transfiguration class, and they also admire Xifa's superb magic skills, so naturally they are full of praise for Xifa.

Seeing that Xifa no longer needed a wheelchair or magic-assisted activities like last semester, they thought Xifa had recovered and congratulated Xifa one after another.

Xifa thanked them for their congratulations and exchanged pleasantries before waving goodbye to the two little lions who were happy to make friends.

It’s great to be young! At this moment, I felt a little out of place mentally and physically.

He shook his head and put aside his emotion.

Xifa smiled and walked into the corridor on the second floor.

As soon as my feet landed, a chill suddenly came to my heart.

Xifa immediately became vigilant.

The corridor in front of me suddenly became dim. It turned out that the sun in the sky was obscured by passing dark clouds.

It's a familiar corridor, with familiar armor on both sides, and familiar portraits on the wall.

A false alarm? Just when Xifa was about to breathe a sigh of relief,

Suddenly, a red light suddenly appeared in the eyes of the armor. The face in the portrait that was pretending to be asleep suddenly opened its eyes, stared at itself, and smiled ferociously.

Not far away, the door of Dumbledore's office also began to be eroded by darkness, gradually becoming rotten, and blood began to emerge from the cracks in the door, gradually spreading to his feet.

A layer of cold sweat instantly covered Xifa's back. He stretched out his stiff fingers and touched the wand, trying to use magic to resist the weirdness in front of him.

Just when he was about to unleash his fierce fire with all his strength, several laughters from the little Ravenclaw girl came from behind.

"Run quickly..."

As soon as the words reached my throat, the sun passed through the clouds again.

The entire corridor is bright again.

A false alarm? Holding the wand in his hand, Xifa looked confused. Behind him, the footsteps of the little girl's leather shoes on the stairs gradually faded away.

Xifa maintained vigilance and released the perception technique. There was nothing wrong with it. His teaching assistant authority told him that there was no other magic on the castle wall.

It seemed that everything was an illusion, and I stayed there in a daze for a long time.

Xifa put away his wand, walked slowly and heavily to the door of Professor Dumbledore's office, and gently knocked on the door with his fingers.

——————

There are no tragic scenes. The professor looks a little lethargic, but there is nothing unusual about it.

Even Xifa can detect the connection between the Unbreakable Vows.

Also, how could Dumbledore be replaced by someone else using Polyjuice Potion?

Seeing that the professor's face was even more tired than in class, Xifa kept the story short and told the professor why he used magic during the holidays and how he encountered abnormal creatures.

During the whole process, the professor looked at Xifa calmly, crossed his fingers with his hands and rested on his chin.

It seems that Xifa performing magic outside school and encountering a group of suspicious magical creatures that appeared near his home are two trivial things that are not worth mentioning.

This is completely different from the professor who cared about what happened to him last semester. Last semester, the professor asked him for a memory, but now, he seems unmoved.

Professor, what does this mean?

Bite the bullet, Xifa put forward his guesses about the magic network one by one.

If someone really casts magic on himself outside the office, then he must have seen his vigilance and hesitation. If the professor is controlled or monitored, this sensitive issue can also confuse the people behind the scenes.

His thoughts were racing and he was not thinking smoothly, and Xifa had a blade of grass in his mouth, so it was difficult for him to finish the last sentence awkwardly.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, lay back, leaned on the back of the chair, and nodded lazily.

Dumbledore admitted that Xifa's guess was correct. The Ministry of Magic did have its own magic network. Dumbledore also told Xifa that most wizards' disembodiment required the location of the magic network, so personnel from the Ministry of Magic were needed.

Teaching.

After saying that, he kept silent, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Dumbledore's voice was tired, but his tone of reply and language expression habits had not changed.

I was worrying too much, the professor was just too tired, Xifa breathed a sigh of relief.

The previous hallucinations should have been caused by my successive overreactions, which led to heavy speculation, which led to excessive psychological pressure.

The professor is still Dumbledore.

After getting rid of the haze in his heart, Xifa wanted to tell the professor about the three of them’s biggest gains during the holiday and their next plans.

By some strange coincidence, Xifa glanced at the shelf where Fox usually stayed.

It was found that it was covered with dust. So, Xifa covered up the magical magic of the Thinking Palace invented and improved by the three people.

He just hurriedly told the professor that the three of them were preparing for the Animagus recently. He made an excuse and stood up to say goodbye.

Bang——

Looking at the closed door, after a long time, Dumbledore sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

If you hadn't told me about the ritual magic hidden on the compass, my duel with the enemy would have been a complete failure this time.

Now, I am pretending to be controlled, and I am secretly checking to see who is behind the scenes.

Five months, that person wanted to trap him for five months, but with the help of ritual magic, he only spent five days.

What will happen in five months? Looking out the window at the children running on the lawn, Dumbledore sighed secretly in his heart.

This time, I am not testing you, but I really trust you and count on you! Xifa!

On the other side, Xifa cast the illusion spell and walked on the stairs.

Fox? Where did it go?

Xifa was worried and thought over every detail since entering the office.

Although it's weird, I can't really find any flaws.

What if Fox goes out and evolves into Nirvana?

It wasn't until the Room of Requirement that he managed to adjust his mentality.

There is no point in thinking about it. If the professor is really controlled by someone, he can only pretend not to know. It is safer to be a little transparent.

At Hogwarts, the only professor that I can completely trust is Dumbledore.

Vice Principal Fergus, ever since he was framed by Beamon, he has remembered what Elise said to him in the Black Lake.

Obviously, she felt that her grandfather had some purpose, and maybe if she found out, she would be used as a pawn by him.

Forget all these troubles, I won’t tell the two girls in advance.

Xifa made a decision secretly in his heart.
