Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

In the empty cave, Cassandra's voice echoed.

The door several meters high in front of me began to slowly open.

The first glance into the secret room.

Xifa saw Casper Crouch and the basilisk in the center of the secret room.

Obviously, the other two had long been prepared for Xifa and Xifa to enter the secret room.

"It's those two! Kill them!"

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Casper Crouch didn't even need to use Parseltongue and shouted directly in his native language.

The basilisk felt his thoughts, and the two blood foods in front of him were particularly delicious.

Casper Crouch raised his hand and pointed at the two of them.

It turned into a black shadow with two bright yellow headlights and flew towards the two of them.

——————

The battle was naturally one-sided.

For blood wizards, as long as their magical animal bloodline is strong enough, the instant death attribute of the basilisk will not affect them at all.

Just like Xifa, his bloodline is temporarily black dragon.

If he showed the complete black dragon, the basilisk would never dare to move easily in front of him.

Such a gap in rank, coupled with the fact that Xifa's magic power is powerful enough.

The only threat the basilisk poses to Western France is its fangs.

But the problem is, it can't bite.

The two sides only fought for a few rounds before Casper Crouch's wand was captured by West Fa.

He himself was also under the Western spell of petrification and sleeping.

Use the hand of the mage to lift the broken porcelain man in front of you into the air.

Thanks to the Petrification Curse, otherwise Casper Crouch's body would have collapsed the moment he lost consciousness.

Xifa wanted to bring him to Professor Leslie while ensuring that he was under control.

In this case, Hogwarts will have the initiative when facing the Ministry of Magic, which is held hostage by pure-blood families.

"How cruel!"

Xifa turned around and looked at the hissing and roaring basilisk in front of him, and said with emotion.

After sleeping for thousands of years, the basilisk cannot maintain such energy.

Through the dragon eyes, Xifa could see the majestic magic power and high activity of the basilisk.

Thinking of the basilisk attacking him and Cassandra without hesitation, Xifa suspected that the basilisk didn't care whether the person in front of it was a young wizard from Hogwarts, it just wanted to satisfy its appetite!

So, he activated the resentment perception technique in elf magic that simulated the unicorn's talent.

Under the shroud of white fluorescence, the entire basilisk was wrapped in black airflow.

"Cassandra! Come back! This basilisk can't stay!"

Xifa raised his right hand, blue light shining in his palm.

"Just leave the body intact! It just so happened that my negotiation with it was not pleasant either."

Kassandra nimbly jumped on the wall, dodged the basilisk's attack, and landed lightly next to Xifa.

He clenched his fists and said with a sullen expression.

"Blooming Ice"

The basilisk was crawling along the ground toward the two of them.

Xifa shook his right hand forward, emitting a blue ball of light. The ball of light streaked through the air with a long blue tail flame, and accurately landed on the tip of the snout of the basilisk twisting left and right.

call--

A gust of cold air brought white smoke towards us.

Xifa waved his magic wand and used magic to disperse the smoke in front of his eyes.

The basilisk looked like an earthworm thrown into liquid nitrogen, and the entire snake body was probably frozen to the core.

And because there is an aisle in the middle of the secret room, there are pools on both sides.

The proportion of moisture in the entire chamber is relatively high.

Even though Xifa's magic has ended, the ice shell on the basilisk's body is still growing.

"I just asked the Basilisk if he wanted to recognize me as his master."

Cassandra's transformation state was fading. Although she looked tired, she spoke with gritted teeth.

"The basilisk actually asked me how many little wizards I would give it as its food."

"Moreover, hundreds of years ago, a man who claimed to be a member of the Gaunt family really provided it with a large amount of food!"

"It's the workers who built the pipes outside and the little wizards in some of the outer courtyards!"

...

"I also discovered that this basilisk had too much karma, so I decided to kill it."

Xifa touched Cassandra's hair and spoke to comfort her.

"How do we take this ice sculpture out?"

I saw that Cassandra's face looked much better.

Xifa retracted his hand and patted his forehead with one hand, saying with a bitter look on his face.

"My fanny pack can't hold such a big thing!"

"My leg bag can fit, but I don't want it to dirty my bag!"

Cassandra said as she put her hands into the hidden pockets of her skirt.

"Use it, a snakeskin bag used to carry some stone raw materials!"

Holding a small palm-sized bag in her hand, Cassandra explained to Xifa while untying the rope on it.

"Help me, my flying spell can't move such a big thing!"

...

A bulging snakeskin pouch was tied around Cassandra's wrist.

Xifa said that he was not surprised. He could still fit a car in his pocket, and the quality had not changed at all. Don't ask, asking is magic!

Putting away the basilisk, Cassandra jumped to the giant stone sculpture of Slytherin.

She pressed her palm on the stone platform next to the stone statue.

There was a flash of light.

A page of slate appears above the stone platform.

"This is Slytherin's research notes on curses. Although it is not the original and does not contain Slytherin's forbidden curse, it is enough for me to learn and use now!"

Kassandra happily explained to Xifa, who was also very excited to see that it was the most difficult-to-prevent curse in black magic.

He held Cassandra and spun around a few times until he caught a glimpse of Casper Crouch floating in the air out of the corner of his eye.

Only then did she let go of Cassandra.

The environment here is eerie after all.

"If there's nothing else, let's leave first! Let's study this book together when we get back, so that we can learn faster and better!"

"It's okay! I've gained a lot this time! After I go back, I can awaken my talent in advance!"

"What talent?"

"With the evil eye of death, as long as I look at it, creatures will be petrified or die immediately!"

"so smart?"

"Of course, but I guess it will have no effect on you."

"Why do you say that?"

"intuition!"

...

"Professor Dumbledore!"

Teleporting to the bathroom, Xifa's feet had just landed.

Before he could stand upright, he saw an unlikely person appearing here.

"it's me!"

On Dumbledore's left shoulder is Fawkes the Phoenix, and on his right shoulder is his Phoenix Patronus.

Having shown his identity in this way, Professor Dumbledore reached out to help him, who was unable to stand still due to lack of concentration, so he did not refuse.

"When did the professor come back? What happened at Hogwarts recently..."

Dumbledore raised his hand to stop Xifa from speaking.

He said with a slight smile in his eyes.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow! Thanks to you for bringing back Casper Crouch who is still breathing. I need him now!"

Dumbledore waved his wand and took over Casper Crouch from behind Xifa.

Fox flapped his wings, in the golden light.

Only Cifer, who was confused, and Cassandra, who didn't care what Dumbledore was going to do, were left in the bathroom.

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

Originally, I wanted to use the Imperius Curse to extract words, and used the betting formula... but I didn't think it was appropriate, so I just asked Old Deng to give him Veritaserum.

So I cut out a big section and rewrote it, so there was only one chapter.
