Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

Forehead...

Silver cross, prayer...

A complex and stylish magic circle...

Pure water in a silver basin...

After all the tinkering...I didn't feel the slightest magic fluctuation.

Xifa dropped the so-called holy water on the back of Elise's hand with suspicion.

Nothing happened.

"Sure enough, there is no problem with the seal. Then we are in big trouble."

Diana, who was in ghost state, came to Elise, inspected her carefully and said.

"Seal? What seal? Why is there no problem but still trouble?"

Xifa didn’t understand even more.

"well--"

Lady Diana, who was in a ghost state, made a sighing expression visible to the naked eye, organized some words, and spoke.

"Do you know who the blood contract on Dumbledore is related to?"

Diana did not answer what the seal was, but asked a question first.

"Of course I know." Xifa nodded. What does this inexplicable seal have to do with the blood contract on Dumbledore?

"It is precisely because Dumbledore has that person's blood contract that Dumbledore can sometimes use some means to deduce that person's action plan."

Sypha glanced at Cassandra thoughtfully. That person was naturally Grindelwald. Lady Diana may have felt that now was not the time to let Cassandra know...call him by that person.

"Knowing that person's action plan, he found me and convinced me to join forces with him."

"However, before leaving the Twilight Zone, he deleted all his memories of that action and the aftermath. In order to prevent that person from predicting the opposite."

Hearing this, Xifa saw the right moment and interjected.

"I have a question, what exactly is a prophecy? The prophecy is already something that is destined to happen in the future. Since it is destined to happen, why can we make reverse prophecies against the prophecy?"

After a moment of silence, Lady Diana finally chose not to answer.

"This question...I can't explain it to you."

"Okay...you go on." Xifa thought thoughtfully. Some knowledge or forbidden magic seems to be only available in those strange places, that is, places like small secret realms. It can be mentioned in reality.

It seems like there will be a terrible backlash.

"In The Twilight Saga, Dumbledore unfolded all the prophecies. There, he asked Cassandra to master the innate magic as soon as possible. He also told me that there was a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts."

There is no need to explain some things clearly, Xifa will straighten them out on his own.

Dumbledore read the complete prophecy given to him by a certain seer in The Twilight Saga.

But he can't walk out of the Twilight Zone with this memory.

To be even more extreme, no living person in this world can know this prophecy until the time of the prophecy has passed.

So Lady Diana tried every means to persuade Cassandra to go to Slytherin House.

Fortunately, I heard the news about the secret room, and took Cassandra to hunt down the basilisk early, and helped Cassandra complete the awakening of her natural magic.

Lady Diana's words later also confirmed Xifa's next guess.

It was Cassandra who mastered the Petrifying Gaze and was able to save Elise's life.

She just revealed some information to Cassandra and asked Cassandra to join forces with Luna...

That's not right either...

"Madam, you have known about it for a long time, right? That night last summer..."

"It was not certain at that time that it was an indiscriminate attack, and from then until now, Cassandra has never been attacked a second time in Slytherin."

What about not in Slytherin? Oh, stay with me...

It's a bit messy and a bit convoluted.

Xifa shook his head and temporarily gave up on sorting out the cause and effect.

Anyway, the current result is the most ideal result predicted.

Kassandra has mastered the gift of magical petrifying gaze.

The parasitic demon inside Elise was also bound by Cassandra's magic.

The conspiracy of the conservative pure-blood family also made Cassandra's wedding dress, and Dumbledore secretly took charge of the Ministry of Magic.

but...

Elise looks like this...

Is it actually the most ideal result?

Xifa said he couldn't accept it.

But after thinking about it, after this year's experience, once there is a problem in one link.

It will indeed lead to consequences that you will regret for the rest of your life.

Tsk——So, I hate prophecies...

Could it be that Elise can only serve as a container to seal this demon and never wake up in reality again?

Xifa came to Elise and looked at her face with closed eyes, the light in her eyes was uncertain.

"Lady Diana, until now, you haven't told me what the seal is!"

"Dumbledore must have given you a hint, right?"

Hearing the change in Xifa's tone, Diana's expression was filled with concern and relief, but she still asked a question.

"The professor didn't give me..."

Xifa's answer stopped abruptly.

Could it be the prophecy received in Hogsmeade?

I wishfully regard it as the best choice to help Cassandra complete her talent awakening.

Could it be that I thought wrong?

"You just have to know it in your own mind. You don't need to tell me. I can't help you make a decision."

"Let's talk about the seal first."

"Generally speaking, if you want to seal something, you need something of the same level or higher than it can be used as a sealed object."

Xifa had some bad guesses in his mind. Devil...holy water...

"If you want to seal a piece of ancient civilization history, you need another piece of ancient civilization history of the same level or more prosperous."

When Lady Diana said this, she stopped. She felt that she needed to give Xifa some buffer time.

Let Xifa have a process of coming back to his senses.

However, Xifa just breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stare into Diana's eyes, gesturing for her to continue.

"You must have guessed it. The sealed ancient history is the history of demons. And the sealed objects are the civilization of the Holy Religion."

"They are entangled with each other. It stands to reason that the devil's sacrifice and summoning rituals will no longer appear in the human world, and the ritual magic of the holy religion will not be effective in the human world."

"I don't know about the devil's sacrifice and summoning magic, but you just tried the ritual magic of the Holy Religion. Even if you did every step perfectly, you still couldn't achieve the recorded effect."

"But... I have seen two surprises so far. One is the object called the compass in your hand. It is the first time I have seen it, but it has an effect that is no less than some ritual magic of the Holy Religion."

"And... what Elise is suffering from is the devil's exclusive parasitic magic."

...

There was a long silence.

"In other words, if there is no problem with the seal, the holy religion's ritual magic cannot be used. Will Elise remain in this state forever?"

Xifa's voice was hoarse, and he reached out to touch Elise's porcelain cheek. After being petrified, it was no longer soft and waxy.

"Basically, yes. Apart from the magic of the Holy Religion, I don't know any magic that can expel parasitic demons without harming the lives of the parasites."

"Tell me where the seal is!"
