Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

"Sifa!...Sifa!!!...Sifa!!!"

"Ah?!" After waking up, Sifer saw Elise and Luna looking at him angrily, and apologized to them two times.

He promised to accompany them to shop in Diagon Alley, but his mind has been distracted... It's not that he was distracted, he was thinking about what happened yesterday, and the nervousness before returning home.

This is Diagon Alley, and the thrilling battle of words and magic with Beamon Fergus was the night before.

Today, the sun is shining brightly.

Alice and Luna wore double ponytails, black and white cat ear hairpins, shiny leather shoes, black and white soft cute and sexy short skirts, and black and white patterned stockings on their legs , walking in front of her pretty.

What?Wear so little in winter?Ah!Don't underestimate magic, it's just to resist the common and low cold air, and you don't even need anti-cold medicine.

"Hmph! Forget it, you're not familiar with this place anyway, just follow us obediently!"

Seeing that Sifa showed signs of being absent-minded again, Alice sighed, and it was so clear at a glance that her warm breath turned into a puff of white smoke when it met the cold air.

Years of tacit understanding made Luna understand Elise's blunt expression. She covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly. Elise pulled her angrily, signaling her to leave quickly and ignore Xifa.

Seeing Luna's helpless expression, Sifer sighed and quickly followed the two of them.

------

Xifa kept thinking in ecstasy, naturally because of a series of things that happened yesterday.

Yesterday morning, when the sun was rising high, Xifa suddenly opened his eyes in the school hospital.

A familiar place, but different from last time, this time Elise and Luna were lying beside her.

He pushed open the door and came to the monitoring office on the side. The person on duty was Ms. Pomfrey.

Xifa asked about the status of her second daughter, and she said that the second daughter was just sleeping normally, and it was best to wake up naturally.

This also dispelled Xifa's idea of ​​waking them up.

Putting down his worries about the two, Xifa was surprised to find that he was able to walk, and his physical fitness seemed to have recovered a little.

Inquiring about Pomfrey, she told herself that after a thorough inspection, Mr. Bohan came to the conclusion that——Sifer’s mental power and blood power were pulled out before, but his magic power was not affected, causing his body to be burdened. Without that magic power.But yesterday his magic power was taken away by magic, allowing his body to take a breath and recover part of it.Of course, that's the end of it. Even if he exercises, his physical fitness cannot become stronger.

Xifa was confused by what he heard, and it took him a long time to straighten out this sentence.

Is it to re-balance your body and magic power?The magic power drops a little bit, and the physique increases a little bit.

Although he thought such a conclusion was absurd, it was the truth, and Xifa accepted it with a pinch of his nose.

Now I can walk normally and run short distances, and my physical condition is much better than that of me who was struggling to walk before.

There were no other questions, so he told Pomfrey that if the two daughters woke up and told them to wait for him in Ogg's cabin, he would go to Professor Dumbledore.

It's winter, and the lawn is no longer green, but golden. There is magic that can make the grass and trees turn green again, but no one wants to cast magic on the entire lawn all the time.

Waving his hand to cast magic, to isolate the cold air, Sifer went straight to Dumbledore's office all the way.

In the office, the conversation between Sifer and Dumbledore was not pleasant.

Although, Dumbledore has repeatedly emphasized that he is doing it for a greater good, but he let Elise and Luna pass by just to test the reaction of the enemy, his original intention was not to let the two go to die, He also planted a time-delayed protection spell for the two of them.

It's okay to deceive Harry with this statement, but Xifa obviously doesn't believe it.

Seeing that Sifa's attitude did not ease, Dumbledore sighed, and he made an oath on the spot that he would never test Sifa's attitude again.

Only then did Xifa's complexion ease slightly.

Whether Dumbledore wanted to test the choice of Xifa, or whether Beamon really caused a series of things last semester, in fact, Xifa could not be sure.

But Dumbledore actually admitted that he was trying to test Sifer, and solemnly apologized to him, which made Sifer's resentment not know how to express it.

Dumbledore is a strong man, he can calmly face accusations, and he has given himself enough respect.He has already apologized and admitted his mistake, how can he force him to kneel down?

All of this is because he is not strong enough... Xifa thought about it, and for the first time he firmly asked to learn black magic.

It seems to be the guilt in my heart, maybe it is the recognition of Xifa.When Sifer asked to learn powerful black magic, Dumbledore agreed without hesitation.

It's still buy one get one free, uh... The professor gave Sifa Fiendfyre Curse and Curse of Ending Curses.

Obviously, he wanted the three of them to learn the latter, and then try to learn and master the former.

Satisfied, Sifer bid farewell to Dumbledore and came to Ogg's cabin.

Things went so smoothly that the second daughter hadn't woken up yet.

Here, I drank a few pots of tea with Ogg and talked about many interesting stories about magical animals, and the two girls came hand in hand.

The four chatted happily for a while, and when the three got up to leave, Ogg gave some of the materials he collected in the Forbidden Forest to the three as a reward for saving their lives last time.

"Originally, there is still a gift for you today as a Christmas present, but it encountered some problems during the delivery, so I had to hand it over to you when school started."

...

After bidding farewell to Ogg, the three of them walked towards the castle. At the entrance of the hall, Xifa, who was touched by the scene, thought of Beamon's last mouth shape again.

Father...

His father was Vice-Principal Brant and Elise's grandfather. What, he wanted to give us a seed of doubt?Let us doubt the dedicated vice-headmaster for Hogwarts?

You think I'm Harry, and when you see Snape, you think he's the big villain... Sifa dismisses Beamon's clumsy trick in his heart.

Wait, it seems that I forgot to ask the professor if he told the vice principal about them...

I have nothing to do with Beamon at all, he can't be my father, the chance, if it is true, Xifa promises that he will commit suicide on the spot and can travel again, and he will bring Alice and Luna together.

Wait, could it be Luna's grandfather...

That night, in Sifa's dormitory, Sifa opened up, and Luna described what she thought of her grandfather.

He raised himself up, only to cut off the audio in order to investigate her parents' death.Maybe it's already sleeping somewhere...

With the two comforting her, the heavy topic gradually turned into three people talking about their childhood life.

When Xifa introduced how he lived in Muggle society, the two couldn't help being envious.

Xifa also suddenly realized that it was time for him to go back. He proposed to the two that he would go home tomorrow to visit his adoptive mother for a few days.

Luna was a little bit reluctant when she heard the words, but Alice said it directly, so let's go back with you for the winter vacation too!

The above is why, the three appeared in Diagon Alley...

------

From this point of view, there are quite a lot of things to do during this holiday... Moreover, whether it is Luna's grandfather... There is no news, it is very suspicious.

Following the two to a store, Xifa subconsciously followed them up the steps and into the warm room.

Potion of Awakening, Animagus, Fiercefire Curse, Curse of All Curses...

Pooh!Think about what gifts you want to bring to your younger siblings and adoptive mother!

Clothes, food, books, tools....

"Sifa! It's the first time I've used the Floo Network! I'm not confused until now! How long has it been!"

Luna stopped in her tracks. Seeing that Xifa was still walking forward with his head down, and seeing that he was about to hit the counter, Luna stretched out her hand and pulled the confused Xifa back, and reprimanded him in a low voice.

"Sorry, I haven't been home for a long time, I'm a little excited..." Xifa said embarrassingly.

"We were not so excited to go to your house! Besides, didn't we write down the list on paper last night? What are you still thinking about?"

After the words fell, the scene was silent, and Xifa opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Elise also realized that she had said something wrong, she turned her back to Sifa, her ears were red.

"Welcome~" Fortunately, a young witch appeared in front of the counter and broke the deadlock with her words. "Do all three of you want to buy a broom?"

"Yes!" Xifa's brain finally came online, and he stood up and replied.

"Do you have any requirements for brooms? Daily use, competitive, economical..." The young witch began to introduce her broom category.

There are so many... I thought there were only two models for the public and top models...

Sifa, who has difficulty choosing, turned her eyes to Elise for help. She is the best at Quidditch among the three, and she should know the broom best.

"Is the latest model Comet 180 in stock?!" Alice said forcefully, interrupting the salesperson who was talking endlessly.

"Yes, yes! The lady wants to buy..." The witch realized that a big customer had arrived, she put away her blunt rhetoric, and said emotionally with a bright smile on her face.

...

After some bargaining, the three of them saved a large sum of Galleons. Faced with black merchants who raised prices all year round, Luna's series of bargaining methods made the witch at the front desk of the regular store almost cry to death.

Fortunately, Luna also generously left her a good performance and income.

The money that was cut was naturally not enough to buy magic materials, but it was a lot of money to convert it into British pounds at Gringotts, and the group of goblins welcomed it very much, because wizards rarely do this.

Every year, many newly recruited wizards exchange British pounds for Galleons. For goblins who like metal and rare treasures, it is undoubtedly a waste of paper to exchange for their own treasures.If any wizards were willing to exchange this handful of waste paper with Gold Gallon, it would be enough to make them laugh from ear to ear.

After all, for a dark wizard who is really in the Muggle society, an Imperius Curse and an Oblivion Curse can make him flourish in the Muggle world.And those wizards who have a family business will not come to Gringotts to exchange Muggle currency.

From Old Tom to the center of London, the three of them are going to buy gifts for the orphanage.

Buying gifts for members of the Muggle orphanage naturally cannot be a product of the wizarding world, which is why the three exchanged a large sum of pounds.

With a large sum of banknotes in their pockets, the three of them started a shopping spree in the Muggle world.
