Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"My brother has something to tell you, right here, just wait!"

After speaking, Aberforth got up and left the room, closing the door.

Hmm... In this room, if I didn't know the environment of the Pig's Head Bar like this, I would really feel that Aberforth was making things difficult for me.

There were greasy stains all over the floor.

The walls were also covered in dust and cobweb remnants.

The kerosene lamp above his head was also particularly dim because of the dirty lamp wall.

It is just a portrait, in the light of two candles, it is spotless and extraordinarily different.

Are portraits so precious?

Let Aberforth, who would rather die than clean, clean it up.

Xifa was a little stunned, but soon, a piece of news about Dumbledore came to his mind.

Dumbledore's sister died young, leaving only a portrait for the two brothers to repent.

Is it...

Yes, this is a portrait of Albus Dumbledore and Aberforth Dumbledore's sister, Ariana Dumbledore.

The reason why Xifa was suddenly sure was because a girl walked slowly from the end of the path in the portrait.

It seemed that she knew that the person in front of her was the little wizard her brother asked her to pass on the words.

She smiled at Sifa, took out a note and pasted it on the signboard at the end of the path.

Nodding to Xifa, she turned around and walked back along the path without looking back...

Is this over?

After a lot of trouble, he slipped out of Hogwarts, came to the bar where the professor's own brother was, and agreed to have an interview?

Xifa waited for a while, but he didn't see an extra passage on the portrait, nor did he see that the portrait turned into a door that opened.

Well, it seems that he is sending himself such a message.

Also, Ariana Dumbledore has been dead for decades.Now Albus Dumbledore let her run for himself.

No wonder Aberforth Dumbledore treated him so badly.

Forget it, this is the professor's family business, and now the child himself is getting involved, and his efforts are not thankful.

Arianna Dumbledore did not leave, and it was inappropriate for Sifer to come forward and look at the note carefully.

After all, he is a portrait, so if you approach him in front of him, it's a bit of a hooligan.

But now the girl has been away for a long time, and she hasn't appeared until now

"Facing, taking the initiative, secret room."

good guy...

Xifa was stunned on the spot.

Yes, Professor Dumbledore promised himself, and swore.

He didn't plan to test himself, nor did he tactfully involve himself in his plan.

But now he directly showed his cards and told himself what to do.

But I have to admit that what the professor ordered me will always bring me unexpected gains.

By the way, is this another prophecy?

Prophecy is like that, never spelled out.

However, there are always some things that I have experienced recently that can be applied to it.

For example, I accidentally heard the deal between Tom and Professor Crouch.

Cassandra, with the blood of the snake, ran to Slytherin.

I originally wanted to take care of Cassandra's self-esteem, let her silently obtain the inheritance of Slytherin, and congratulate her again.

But with Professor Dumbledore's little note, everything was disrupted.

But is it really just about Cassandra?

Facing the accident that happened in the outer courtyard, he chose to escape, even though it was caused by his own inability to do anything.

--------

"Good news! Good news!"

That night, as soon as Sifa came to the Room of Requirement, Cassandra jumped in front of her and shouted at herself.

"What good news? Yours has become a thinking hall?"

"Yeah!" Cassandra nodded heavily.

"It's pretty fast. I thought you could do a good job before Christmas."

Seefa showed surprise, and led Cassandra to the round table in the center of the field.

"What! Don't underestimate me!" A dissatisfied voice came from behind him.

"We invented this magic last winter vacation, and the Christmas holiday is less than a month away. You learn this magic! By the way, how do you understand Potions?" Seeing that Cassandra was a little frivolous, Xifa decided to suppress her Suppress her arrogance.

"Not much..." Cassandra's voice was much lower.

"It doesn't matter, with the Hall of Thought, your study is much easier than before." Seeing that Cassandra was a little depressed and Xifa couldn't bear it, he comforted her.

Thinking of something, Sifa who sat down turned to Cassandra.

"By the way, are you sure you don't need the Animagus potion?"

"Of course, I have magic that is more suitable for me. Now I just don't have enough magic power, otherwise I can directly show the magic snake form."

"Ok."

Having said this sudden good fortune, it is time to talk about the original purpose.

Sifa tapped on the table.

Iris and Luna, who were buried in their books, put down their books one after another, and cast their reluctant eyes on themselves.

"I went to the Pig's Head tonight and met Professor Dumbledore's brother and sister."

"Huh? Professor Dumbledore has a sister?"

Alice and Luna know that the professor's younger brother is the manager of the Pig's Head Bar, but they have never met the professor's younger sister.

"Dead many years ago, now a portrait."

"Oh..." The two became a little sad.

"Okay, let's talk about our new plan!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xifa quickly changed the subject.

Hearing that Xifa made a new plan, the three women swept away their sadness and looked at him with all their attention.

"Originally, I don't want to deal with some troublesome things. I just want to live a stable life for the last year."

Xifa said with one hand on his forehead in a deep voice.

"You mean the war will reach us next year?"

The clever Luna left and grasped the point, and asked.

"Yes! But don't interrupt!" The good atmosphere is gone!Xifa put down his hands and replied angrily.

"Hee hee!" Luna, who guessed the answer, couldn't help laughing when she saw Xifa pretending to be angry.

"Sorry, Cassandra, I have to tell you about your secret."

Xifa's eyes were full of apology, but full of determination.After a long silence, Cassandra sighed.

"Well, I wanted to tell you in the past few days. How could I be persuaded by my mother at that time?"

"But do you really know why I went to Slytherin?"

Cassandra didn't believe that Sifer knew why she came to Slytherin. She only said that she had a reason to come to Slytherin.

"For the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?"

"Huh? How did you know about the Chamber of Secrets!" Cassandra was a little dazed.

"That's right, Sifa, none of us have heard of it!"

Alice's eyes were a little uneasy.Could it be Miranda-senpai?I knew that after that day, the relationship between the two was a bit delicate. Miranda-senpai asked herself questions and always criticized Xifa from the sidelines.

Xifa: "Professor Dumbledore told me, and the professor asked me to take the initiative to help you find the secret room!"

Cassandra: "But, I don't know where the Chamber of Secrets is! Do you know?"

Xifa: "I'm not sure if this time period is there, but someone will definitely find it!"

Alice: "Who?"

Sifer: "Casper Crouch and Tom Riddle!"

Elise: "They're talking about the Chamber of Secrets?!"

Xifa: "Otherwise?"

Alice: "I thought they were talking about the outer courtyard again, and I plan to investigate tonight."

"Although it's a bit chauvinistic to say so, Alice, including you! No one is allowed to investigate that matter privately! I don't want you to be hurt!"

Xifa patted the table and said in a stern tone.
