Riddler, get out...
How annoying! Xifa complained.
The latter sentence should mean that the person controlling Professor Dumbledore noticed that he was aware that the professor's behavior was inappropriate, and he was watching his own performance.
If professors were the real audience...
So, Professor Dumbledore wants to make himself temporarily distrustful of him, that is to say, the professor is personally involved in the drama, allowing others to manipulate him, and waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to take the bait?
Is this the case? Or am I the real audience, and the professor is the mastermind watching my performance?
...It's a little chaotic... Anyway, it's a three-party game to see who gets caught first.
If the professor is pretending to cooperate, then everyone is an assassin in the dark, and whoever takes action will be exposed first.
From this point of view, it is better for you and others to live like their peers.
Xifa made a decision in his heart.
Previous sentence...Do we need to wait until Thor grows up?
From this point of view, even if he encounters a thunderstorm recently, he will lack the conditions and the transformation will fail.
It's a pity that I didn't tell myself this condition, I just told myself the opportunity to succeed...
I don’t know how many times I have tried before...
Anyway, Thor has to grow up, let’s wait until he transforms once and has the ability to summon thunder and lightning.
Xifa frowned and thought, tapping his fingers on the table.
Elise said that the ritual of Animagus has been optimized by her to the best, but compared with traditional magic, there has been no qualitative change, that is, the transformation speed is faster.
In this way, my guess is correct. The biggest reason why the Animagus of Fantastic Beasts failed is because of insufficient magic power...or insufficient origin.
Xifa thought of the unicorn giving birth, but her body was too weak and the baby unicorn could not be successfully born.
Potion of Enhancing Strength! As generations of wizards multiply, the bloodline of magical animals becomes thinner, and Potion of Enhancing Strength is needed to strengthen them.
If the magic power is not enough...
It doesn't matter, use the Enhancing Potion and Animagus Potion. When you are in the process of transformation, the spiritual sea damaged by saving Elise will be repaired, and you can easily absorb the power of nature.
I just don’t know how long it will take to accumulate enough magic power for transformation...
......
These seemingly short conclusions took Xifa nearly an hour.
While Xifa was thinking, Luna lay obediently opposite Xifa. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xifa's handsome face.
Unknowingly, she fell into a deep sleep amidst the rhythmic sound of Xifa's fingers tapping on the table.
Usually, the three of them spend the night in the palace of thought. Although their bodies are rested, their spirits are still exhausted.
However, in this case, you only need to take a nap, such as taking a nap to feel refreshed.
"Thank you for your hard work. In one month! Thor will have the ability to summon thunderstorms!"
With a slight sigh in her heart, Xifa bent down and picked up Luna in a princess hug.
After careful consideration, Xifa still sacrificed his face and used the mage's hand to help relieve the pressure on his arm, and then cast another magic body spell.
Then we walked gently on the way to the Room of Requirement.
In her sleep, Luna felt the familiar breath and couldn't help but shrink down and find a more comfortable position...
In the Room of Requirement, Xifa put Luna down and let her rest on the crib.
He came to Elise who was looking through the information and handed the prophecy paper to her.
After discussing with Xifa for a long time, Elise relaxed a little and relaxed her research on Animagus.
"There seems to be no problem in the process, but you need to use great perseverance to stay awake throughout the process. Once you lose your mind, all your efforts will be in vain."
The above is Elise’s evaluation of the Western France plan.
——————
A week later, Vice-Principal Fergus suddenly asked the prefects to announce that the College Cup Quidditch competition would be resumed.
For a time, the somewhat lifeless Hogwarts was instantly full of life and vitality.
Whether they are seniors or juniors, they are all discussing who the members of their college's Quidditch team are.
Still, more than half a year has passed, and whoever is practicing in seclusion has made rapid progress.
In a week's time, four Quidditch teams from four colleges were born.
This is another weekend. There are two more weeks plus two weeks, which is about a month.
Six group matches will complete the three weeks of Saturday and Sunday.
The two groups with the highest points will compete in the finals on Sunday. The last week will be exam week, and there will be a holiday after the exam.
It was the weekend, Xifa and Luna went to the Quidditch pitch to watch a game between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.
Although her own academy narrowly lost to Gryffindor, the exciting match made Luna, who was walking back to the castle, chirping excitedly while explaining the game to Xifa.
"At that time, if our college's chaser Kevin didn't pass the ball, he rushed directly and made a fake maneuver..."
"If Mellie, our House Beater, hits the Quaffle towards Robin, the Gryffindor Chaser, instead of Cassie, the Gryffindor Seeker, just ten points will be awarded to prevent Robin from scoring the ball.
, it will be a tie if they catch the snitch. There will be overtime..."
"That's not right, didn't they still score in overtime?"
......
In short, although Ravenclaw caught the Golden Snitch, Gryffindor scored a crucial goal at the last moment.
This makes Ravenclaw plus one hundred and fifty points still ten points behind Gryffindor.
It’s a pity to lose!
Seeing Luna's little face flushed with excitement and anger, Xifa sighed and pulled her around the black lake to relax.
Elise didn't come. She didn't like such lively occasions, and the potion brewed by Luna also needed someone to take care of it. Fortunately, Thor, the Thunderbird, stayed with her to accompany her.
In fact, Luna would have been Ravenclaw's seeker. If she came on the field, the game would end when the Golden Snitch appeared in sight. Luna, who has strengthened her body, is so strong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Originally, Senior Sister Avnia came to find Luna. She knew how strong Luna’s flying talent was.
When Luna was not yet in school, the shining star on the Quidditch field was Luna.
At that time, the senior sister scheduled Luna to become the chaser of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
However, when Luna entered school last semester, the school stopped the Quidditch match because the situation was tense and the professor could not attend.
The situation is still tense now, but the negative emotions in the students' hearts need to be vented, otherwise the friction between the little wizards will intensify.
It takes a lot of energy for the professors stationed in the castle to deal with these conflicts every day.
Therefore, when the professors complained about the increasing friction between the little wizards, Vice Principal Fergus made the decision to resume the Quidditch game.
That day, when Senior Avnia explained her purpose to Luna.
Luna's eyes were filled with joy. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. She loved the game of Quidditch very much.
To be precise, she likes to fly and show off her flying talent. Moreover, her body has been strengthened, and even in normal condition, her eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people.
It can be said that with her here, the Ravenclaw team cannot lose. She has the confidence to end the game when the score does not exceed 100 points. Even if there is external interference, she is not afraid of it due to her current physique.<
/p>
As a good friend of the vice-principal's granddaughter and a wizard at the vice-principal's own college, making an exception for first-year Luna to join the Quidditch team was a stress-free thing.
However, after the joy, Luna thought of something.
To join the Quidditch team, she has to practice with other members of the team and spend a lot of time playing three group matches.
If it were the finals, she would not hesitate to participate and win honors for the college.
It's a pity that these hours are enough for her to survive Sol's ration expenses for a week.
In response, she had to reject Senior Sister Avnia with great regret.
After some pulling and pulling, Senior Sister Avnia finally left with a look of disbelief on her face. It was obvious that Luna loved Quidditch so much, and the sparkle in her eyes at that moment was not artificial.
He left a promise that if you want to come back, you will be welcome at any time. As a second grader, you must join the team. Senior Sister Avnia disappeared around the corner in despair.
——————
Today is a good day, with white clouds covering the bright sunshine.
You won’t be exposed to the scorching sun.
The gentle breeze gradually calmed down Luna's mood.
"Xifa, let's go back and eat..."
At this moment, the sound of splashing water was heard in the distance.
"Tom!" A sharp cry made Xifa's mind move.
Tom Riddle? He fell into the water?!
Xifa was shocked and ended the conversation without changing his face.
Holding Luna's hand in search of the sound, she saw several young wizards in gray robes calling anxiously from the shore.
It seems that they are lower-grade outer house students, that is, Hogwarts students who are not qualified for the sorting ceremony.
Tsk, let me tell you, how could Riddle fall into the water? It’s almost as if he made people fall into the water.
It seems that he is a student from the outer college named Tom.
Elise once told herself at the lakeside that there was a big squid in the black lake. When a little wizard was playing and drowning at the lake, it would send the little wizard back to the shore.
Obviously, the little wizards in the outer courtyard don’t know this information.
Now that he had been bumped into, Xifa exerted force on his hand.
The soil rolled, and he and Luna quickly rushed to their side.
"What's going on?"
Of course Xifa asked what they were doing.
With a wave of the magic wand, the water plants by the lake began to grow longer, and then intertwined to form a vine.
Pulled the struggling little boy out of the water.
"It's all my fault, Tom was trying to protect me..."
The girl in gray robe knelt beside Tom, who was lying on his back on the ground. Several other little wizards also let go of a boy who looked somewhat similar to Tom.
It looks like he wants to jump down to save others.
Xifa didn't ask them why they didn't use magic...that would be like rubbing salt into their bruised magic talents.
Apparently a group of them were playing by the lake. The little witch in front of them slipped and was about to fall into the water. In order to save her, the boy fell into the lake himself.
"Recover quickly"
"Cyclone Sweep"
...
A series of magic removes the water stains from the boy's body and then stimulates him to wake up.
Without exchanging more greetings with them, Xifa waved his hand and said goodbye to them.
If it weren't for the Quidditch game, these little wizards from the outer courtyard would have no chance to play here.
By the way, Tom...this is really a popular name.
————————
After having lunch, walking out of the Great Hall and passing through the gate of Hogwarts Castle, Xifa saw a group of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic rushing towards us.
What happened?
Later, Xifa shook his head and gave up his intention of following them to the destination to watch the excitement. He had done nothing recently, and it was definitely not looking for him.
Could it be that the little wizard named Tom died? I suspect he did it himself?
Looking at the group of Aurors walking towards the back of the castle, Xifa guessed.
I would never encounter such a bloody thing!
The next day, Senior Sister Miranda found the three of them in the auditorium.
She has some magic questions to ask.
So, the three of them took Senior Sister Miranda back to the Ravenclaw common room.
Luna and Xifa went back to Xifa's dormitory first, while Elise gave explanations to senior Miranda in the common room.
Xifa, Luna and Thunderbird Thor were playing around for a while.
Elise walked in with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong? Is there a difficult problem to solve?" Xifa was a little confused.
Could it be that Senior Miranda asked some excessive questions?
"No..." Elise shook her head.
"Yesterday, during the Quidditch match, the herb shed was vandalized!"
Hearing this, Luna, who was teasing Sol on the side, suddenly jumped up.
"What!" she screamed, frightening Thor to circle in the air before slowly waving his wings vigorously in front of the three people to express his dissatisfaction.
However, Luna was disappointed with it. She pulled it aside without even looking at it.
Putting his hands on Elise's shoulders, he looked excited.
Elise looked solemn and nodded again, indicating that it was true.
"Yesterday, the Auror we met came to deal with this matter. By the way, we reported to the Ministry of Magic that Hogwarts needs to purchase some strategic supplies."
Oh my god...Luna looked like she was beyond hope.
Xifa looked a little confused. The herb greenhouse was damaged. What does it have to do with Luna?
Naturally, Luna, who was in a state of despair, would not answer Xifa’s question.
Seeing the confusion on Xifa's face, Elise hugged Luna to comfort her and explained to Xifa softly.
"Luna has always purchased some materials from outside. For many herbs, Luna would go to the herb greenhouse to collect wool."
"Professor Bernice Leslie doesn't care?" Xifa was shocked. The herb greenhouse was managed by Bernice Leslie, the professor of Herbology and the dean of Hufflepuff.
"Of course not, Luna also wants to arrange some oxytocin for Professor Bernice Leslie as a trade."
Hearing this, Xifa breathed a sigh of relief. If Professor Bernice Leslie helped Luna for free, then the favor would be huge.
After hesitating for a moment, Xifa said, "Since this happened in the herbal greenhouse, shouldn't we go visit Professor Bernice Leslie?"
In addition to comforting her, you can also see what herbs have survived.
When it comes to herbs, Luna's thoughts are spinning very fast.
She understood Xifa's secret purpose when he finished his words.
Luna immediately broke away from Elise's arms and wiped away the non-existent tears.
He grabbed Elise and rushed out of the door.
Xifa also wanted to catch up and trotted to the door, only to notice Sol who was feeling resentful.
He took out a bucket of Sol's favorite ration from his pocket.
Throwing it on the ground and telling it not to go out, he hurriedly chased after the two girls who disappeared at the end of the aisle.
——————
The herb greenhouse is at the back of the main castle, which is why the Aurors came to the back of the main castle.
When I entered the shed to check, I found that instead of the entire army being annihilated as imagined, only one shed was completely destroyed.
Here, they met Professor Bernice Leslie who was working hard to replant herbs.
"It's you! Come and help! I'll reward you afterwards."
As for the three people from Xifa, their craftsmanship is pretty good. They helped me clean up the mess, and I felt very relieved.
Although the area of the herb greenhouse was completely destroyed, Professor Bernice Leslie did not greet the three of them angrily.
Seeing Professor Bernice Leslie smiling gently at them, the three of them could not say any comforting words.
I have come here, and I also found out that the professor is the big boss who supplies Luna with the potion.
The three people from Xifa worked hard without any complaints.
As he continued to do it, Xifa felt something was not quite right.
These herbs seem to be detoxifying herbs.
Mandrake, grimace chrysanthemum, jumping mung bean...
With a thought, Xifa asked, "Professor, are all the detoxifying herbs grown in this greenhouse?"
"Yes!" After hesitating for a moment, Bernice Leslie seemed to have heard about the deeds of the three people.
She continued, "Don't publicize it to the outside world. The mature mandrake here is an important ingredient to lift the curse."
"The prisoner was very cautious. He destroyed this place. He wanted to destroy the shed next door, but I discovered it. The most annoying thing was that he escaped. There was no trace left, and the Auror checked it carefully."
"If only I knew who it was!" Professor Bernice Leslie became more and more angry as she spoke. Finally, Professor Bernice Leslie said through gritted teeth.
The professor's talent is in herbal medicine, and he is not good at combat and other magic. It is normal to invite an Auror.
To be able to make the good old Professor Bernice Leslie behave like this seems to have really offended her.
Xifa quickly motioned for Luna to go up and comfort the professor.
With Luna's comfort, Professor Bernice regained her peace of mind.
With the help of three people, the herb greenhouse is revitalized.
However, the herbs here are all seedlings. Even if the environment is suitable and assisted by accelerators, it will be difficult for them to mature in a short time.
Professor Bernice Leslie told the three of them that the potions they needed were not damaged, so just come and get them if you need them.
Back in the dormitory, Xifa warned the two not to act alone in the future.
"What's wrong?" Luna learned that her herbal medicine was not damaged, and she immediately answered with joy.
Xifa collected his thoughts and told his guess to the two girls.
If you can’t, can the professor raise a problem?
Although he didn't say it out loud, Xifa still saw this sentence from their faces.
Simply, Xifa stopped hiding it and told them all about his experiences and the reasons for his speculation.
"In other words, this murderer may have cast the Scarecrow Curse again. He destroyed the Mandrake just to prevent the antidote from being found in Hogwarts?"
Xifa nodded in agreement.
"What about Professor Dumbledore?" Luna said hesitantly.
"The professor is probably acting. He is waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to reveal his flaws, so we will intervene and protect ourselves." Xifa said with a wry smile.
It seems that the Shadow Empire has sent a second shadow. It is not certain. Maybe the young wizard in the school has been cast a soul-stealing curse, or he is an undercover agent, or... he has taken away the body...
In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
In this way, the three of them returned to the days when they acted together...
Three weeks passed quickly, and during the week of the Quidditch finals, a letter from Ogg was brought to the three of them by Xiaobai.
