Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

"Xifa! Long time no see~"

A familiar breath came from behind.

Luna and Cassandra stopped explaining the game at the same time.

He turned his gaze behind him tacitly.

The outspoken Cassandra put into words what was on her mind before Luna even opened her mouth.

Xifa saw the two familiar people looking at him playfully.

Just when he was about to say hello.

Elise let go of Xifa's hand.

Xifa paused on the spot, and he understood what Elise meant.

So he gave up his previous plan.

He then quickened his pace and walked forward, hugging the two of them into his arms.

"I made you worry..."

——————

The screams and cheers of the little wizards continued to leak out from the place behind them.

But Xifa and his party didn't care at all.

They turned their backs to the Quidditch pitch without looking back.

You pushed and shoved each other, and we walked together on the road to the main castle of Hogwarts.

From the chirping remarks of Cassandra and Luna, Xifa finally understood why they were so eager to lead him back to the main castle.

It turns out that they recently made a batch of magic devices in the Room of Requirement.

After receiving this information, Xifa was slightly moved in his heart.

It seems that they all know that they may lose their ability to cast spells.

They did not choose to use words to enlighten themselves, but used practical actions to comfort themselves.

This magic weapon was obviously prepared for my current self.

"With the help of Teacher LeMay, we completed some simple gadgets."

While chatting, Luna suddenly mentioned it, while staring at Xifa's face with her bright eyes.

After a brief but careful observation, she found that Xifa's face did not show the slightest trace of loss.

Then, she continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

"You said that the magic weapon should not rely on the wizard's own magic power. It is best to have an independent magic power source."

"However, we did not find the cheap magic crystal material that we imagined. However, after some discussion, we found a substitute for "ammunition"."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xifa turned his head slightly, with a look of surprise finally showing on his face.

In sight, Cassandra next to Luna patted her chest, indicating that she came up with it.

"What is the substitute? Can you tell me about it?" Xifa was really curious. Seeing that none of the three people had any intention of speaking, he had no choice but to ask.

"No, it's a surprise. It happens to be on this road, why don't you take a guess?"

Elise spoke first, stopping Luna who was about to answer.

"Oh, you are so competitive..."

Xifa pretended to be helpless and shook his head.

Seeing that the three of them were still looking at me with strange expressions, they seemed to be expecting an answer from me.

Xifa let the three of them lead the way, lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

He raised his head confidently.

"Cassandra, is this really the substitute you came up with?"

Just in case, Xifa spoke again to confirm.

"certainly!"

After receiving a definite answer, Xifa pretended to be distressed and patted his head.

Under the gaze of the three people, he slowly spit out a guess.

"I think the replacement Cassandra is looking for is some kind of magical creature."

"Such as Florob caterpillars, rune snake eggs, etc."

"Uh--you guys are looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong?"

Xifa looked playful.

"No!" Elise said first.

Then she glanced at him seemingly calmly with a look of infatuation on her face

After Kassandra was musing about something, she continued with some taste.

"The method you proposed is exactly the same as the one devised by Cassandra."

Since Xifa's back was to Cassandra, he did not see her illicit side. On the contrary, Xifa was a little puzzled by Elise who looked uncomfortable in his sight.

"Then what do you mean by such an expression?"

After the words fell, Xifa seemed to notice something, and pretended to turn around and glance at Cassandra.

However, at this time, Cassandra had already put away that expression.

However, her face was still flushed.

See Xifa's eyes sweeping over.

Joy flashed through her eyes, and she asked excitedly.

"We are so connected! Right?"

However, Xifa, who had just woken up, returned to his straight nature.

Xifa shook his head at Cassandra's stiff expression.

He explained to Luna and Elise like a public execution.

"Don't think too much, Cassandra, it's easy to deduce such a conclusion!"

"Elise is good at knowledge about magic patterns. If she made it, she should use the natural magic power I mentioned."

"Luna is good at knowledge about potions. She probably made a potion that can act as an energy pool, but it was expensive and the materials were hard to find, so she gave up."

"In the end, only you and I obtained part of Slytherin's notes in the Chamber of Secrets, and you, who are familiar with the power of magical animals, used black magic...hiss--it hurts!"

Xifa bared his teeth and looked at Cassandra, who was staring at him angrily.

He didn't even realize what nonsense he was talking about.

What's wrong? Am I wrong? Does Cassandra not want people to know that she masters dark magic?

No way, even if I can't cast magic, it's not like an ordinary little wizard can lurk around me quietly!

"Xifa!" Kassandra's face turned red from holding back.

"Sorry..." Xifa, who thought she had understood, apologized decisively, which made Cassandra's face look a little better.

"How rude!"

"Xifa, you will lose us if you do this!"

"That's right, to use the words you said, it's heartbreaking!"

...

Elise and Luna also came to their senses at this time.

They left Xifa's side in unison, came to Cassandra's side, pinched her on the left and right, and then said to "victimize" her.

After they scolded each other, Xifa realized that he had not understood Cassandra's thoughts just now.

Looking at the three girls walking side by side in front of him, Xifa let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't say the reason why I thought about it again, otherwise there would be a big problem.

No, I will revise this memory later so that it cannot be exposed in the palace of thinking...

Having made up his mind, Xifa quickly picked up the pace and caught up with the three people who were drifting away.

——————

"Who! Professor Dumbledore?"

Magic power cannot be separated from the body, so it naturally loses its ability to detect the outside world and can only passively accept the magic fluctuations that fall on itself.

The walls of the main castle of Hogwarts have powerful and obscure magical fluctuations.

Albus Dumbledore's magical aura could not be sensed by West Fa.

When Xifa stepped into the castle gate first.

The sudden magic fluctuation made Xifa's heart tighten.

It feels like there is only one flashlight in the dark. When the flashlight suddenly shines on the person who is about to walk in front of you, you will be startled.

"It's me, Xifa. Come to the office with me."

Dumbledore, who didn't look very good, nodded slightly, and after speaking, he turned towards the stairs.

Go.

After recovering from the stress, Xifa quickly called the three of them to follow Professor Dumbledore.
