Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

Chapter 37 The clever use of magic traces

Charles is currently in the hotel lobby without a broom.

Xiu Xiu, who returned to his shoulder, kept shaking his head.

After a long time, Charles stepped forward and asked, breaking the silence here.

"My requirements are not high. Everyone who comes here tonight must come out and let me search them."

No one responded.

Charles is still waiting patiently.

But Bell behind him couldn't hold it in any longer. Just as he was about to repeat the question, a mechanical voice from somewhere interrupted him.

"The outsiders who came here tonight have left."

"And you..."

Charles raised his hand to stop Bell. After a moment of silence, he uttered one word: "Let's go!"

Coming outside, Charles looked at the hotel in front of him and thought deeply.

"Sir? Should we summon the brothers..."

After speaking, Bell made a killing gesture.

"No need, they have their rules and cannot reveal customer information. But they also hinted to us that their people were not involved. Our target may have just left them."

Behind Charles, the original small group of people had dispersed.

At this time, he and Bell were the only two people.

Charles decided to let Bell stay and monitor the hotel while he found a comfortable place to wait for news.

A few minutes ago.

Xifa is ready to face the battle.

He pulled Luna, carefully came to the window, and looked out.

The bright moonlight had already disappeared when I arrived.

The entire Hogsmeade village was shrouded in a gray fog.

How can there be fog when the sky is clear and you can see stars? Obviously, there is something wrong with the fog!

Fortunately, Luna is a little witch with a complete potion master heritage.

She took out a fecal stone and put it in her mouth.

Walk forward and gently fan some outside air into your nose through the gap in the window.

"It's a poisonous leopard! And it's mixed with other toxins. If you inhale it even slightly, you'll feel paralyzed."

Luna whispered as she quickly took out a bottle of antidote potion and drank it.

Then, she took out two more bottles.

"Xifa, drink a bottle. Use half the bottle to soak the mask, a simple gas mask."

Luna said briefly.

Xifa understood, he took the bottle and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.

Then he poured the other half of the bottle that Luna handed over to his mask.

"How dare you confront the entire village of Hogsmeade."

Xifa quickly ran through several options in his mind.

It is impossible for Grindelwald to come here in person.

Are they the saints under him? Or his secret agents in the British Ministry of Magic? Or a pure-blood family?

No matter how you think about it, these people currently have no reason to oppose Hogwarts, not to mention that this is an act that marks a break.

It's just a herb, so what?.

As long as it is magic, it will leave traces. Dumbledore's words suddenly appeared in Xifa's mind.

I can use perception to disperse them!

Xifa quickly stated her plan. Luna thought about it and thought she could give it a try, then nodded in agreement.

Xifa held his breath and concentrated, carefully sweeping his spirit to the outside world like spiritual consciousness.

At every street intersection you pass by, you will leave a faint magic anchor.

This magic anchor point is actually not complicated. Many wizards use it. When paired with another object and a spell called 'Mentos', it forms a special teleportation magic called a portkey.

The biggest disadvantage of this teleportation magic is that you need to leave an anchor point in a place before you can reach it with a portkey.

However, it was these teleportation anchor points that Charles, who was aware of, had to assign manpower to monitor them.

Suddenly, a special magic wave came from one direction.

Xifa had no time to calm down.

A squeaking sound similar to that of a monkey suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Oh? Interesting..."

The vague image I felt was a frog-like monkey squatting on the shoulders of a man in a black windbreaker.

This person seemed to start chanting strange magic after sighing with emotion.

Xifa could clearly feel the flow of magic energy full of ominous aura gradually condensing around the man in black robe.

The current Western France does not want to fight against completely unknown black magic.

He quickly recovered his mind and stopped operating his perception technique.

"What?"

Seeing Xifa suddenly open his eyes, his face looked ugly.

Luna, who was wary of her surroundings, was very anxious.

"I've been discovered, leave quickly!"

After saying that, Xifa pulled Luna to the back window, grabbed a cup on the way and turned it into a dagger.

Remove the rear window in three strokes, five divided by two.

"No? We have tested it. The looking glass cannot detect your perception!"

Luna looked at Xifa with an incredulous expression.

"There was a monkey or a frog on that man's shoulder. I couldn't recognize it. It was the one who discovered me."

Xifa removed the entire rear window, put it aside, and leaned his back against the wall.

He signaled Luna to step on her hand and climb out.

"It's the tree monkey frog, a magical animal that can sense danger and malice. It should be your hostility that makes it feel dangerous."

While crawling out, Luna said to Xifa.

Outside, Luna stood on the ground smoothly.

Xifa tilted the window and handed it to Luna outside.

He also quickly pulled it out.

After landing, take the window from Luna, put it back in place, and secure it with a few pebbles.

Not checking carefully.

This window looks as if it has not been dismantled.

"Casting spells always leaves traces!"

Dumbledore's warning still echoes in my ears.

Casting a spell can interfere with the enemy, and not casting a spell can also interfere with the enemy.

If this is the case, then I will physically dismantle it. This is why Western France does not use magic spells.

In the backyard, there was a person lying straight on the ground.

It seems to be a guest who drank in the lobby before.

The two of them carefully walked around him.

I found a broken shed and got in.

Xifa was recalling the map of Hogsmeade and planning an escape route.

A figure suddenly appeared in the backyard.

It's not that he's apparating, and his dressing up doesn't match the person's appearance as he perceives it.

That person’s boss or subordinate!

An unknown magic similar to teleportation!

Xifa held his breath and concentrated, hiding in the darkness.

He used the remains of the wine bottle next to him to observe the images reflected on it, and various speculations kept popping up in his mind.

Behind him is Luna who huddled up in a ball, in order not to hinder Xifa who resisted in extreme circumstances.

She didn't even dare to reach out and touch Xifa.

In the scene reflected by the remains of the wine bottle.

The visitor took out his wand and first threw a green spell at the 'dead man' on the ground.

Then he waved at the wall in front of him, seemingly checking for traces of magic.

Obviously, he gained nothing.

So, he transformed into black mist again and disappeared.

This scene made Xifa know how this person appeared.

It turned into black mist and flew in. No wonder it was silent.

Xifa quietly counted ten breaths in his heart, and when there was no movement outside, he said to Luna.

"It's not the person I found. It seems there is more than one enemy."

"How dare the dark wizards in the country be here..."

A finger was placed on Luna's mouth, making her stop talking.

"They are not British wizards."

Xifa explained in a low voice, "His wand has a swastika engraved on it. I'm not sure which force from another country it belongs to."

"We'll check when we get back...Wait a minute, that's actually a bird and snake! Why are the eyes red!"

Xifa heard this and quickly pulled Luna into his arms.

A cool air flow enveloped the two of them, making Luna feel very comfortable, and she even quietly nuzzled into Xifa's arms.

Xifa didn't notice Luna's little move.

He silently watched the bird and snake leave before letting Luna go.

"Sorry, snake eyes should have infrared sensors, I'm worried..."

Xifa's fingers were making random gestures in the air, as if he wanted to tell Luna the principles of snakes and infrared rays through his own sign language.

Luna shook her head silently, and Xifa didn't know whether her judgment was wrong or whether Luna didn't mind what she had just done.

The two were silent for a while, and then each cast a silencing spell and a disillusionment spell on themselves.

Because it acts on oneself, it will not leave any trace unless you look directly at it.

The two stood up and took advantage of the gaps in the air where red-eyed birds and snakes were patrolling.

Quietly touch outside.

***The author has something to say***

There is still a difference between swastika and *~

Three times five times two means doing things neatly~
