"You come with me. Take Elise with you."
"Professor Leslie, please seal this place."
"Luna, prepare some magic potions to keep you alive. This will be a protracted battle."
...
Cassandra actually ordered everyone in an orderly manner.
It didn't make sense for everyone to say no, and they all nodded to express their understanding.
However, only Xifa was there until everyone present was assigned to work by Cassandra.
He finally came back to his senses. Before, he just nodded subconsciously.
"Cassandra, you..."
He had never seen her so strong, and Xifa couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with his own cognition.
However, this trace of doubt disappeared after Cassandra stuck out her tongue at herself and made a face.
She is still the familiar sweet girl.
The temporary base turned out to be a familiar old place - the Transfiguration Department office.
Xifa used his mage's hand to lift Elise all the way here.
During this journey, through the communication between Professor Leslie and Cassandra, Xifa understood why the professor had not appeared for so long.
It turned out that Cassandra did not rest in the dormitory tonight at all, but directly found Professor Leslie.
After her patronus notified the professor, she followed the professor to the side and quietly watched the battle.
Until...the black shadow showed its flaws.
"Okay, Xifa, if you have any questions, just ask me. As long as I can tell you, I will tell you without reservation."
In full view of the public.
Xifa's throat was choked by an old saying for a long time before he asked the first question.
"When did you realize something was wrong with Elise's condition?"
"I don't know..." Cassandra shook her head in distress, and in the middle of her answer, the ring on her hand lit up.
"It was during the summer vacation, not long after I met Elise for the first time. But it was not me who discovered the problem, but..." At this point, Cassandra closed her mouth, and Xifa nodded clearly.
Is it Professor Leslie's problem here? Not really.
Professor Leslie can be trusted.
However, Lady Diana could only ask Cassandra to deliver the words instead of coming out to explain the situation to herself?
That's not right, Lady Diana has not appeared in front of him since she entered Hogwarts...nor, since meeting Elise.
Combined with the fact that the old bloodline wizards are cursed, they rarely leave their clan.
Xifa boldly guessed that it was this strange existence in Elise that could activate the curse on the veteran blood wizard!
Even those with Nazgul are not immune?
After thinking about it, Xifa couldn't help but start pacing back and forth in the office, and everyone watched him move back and forth in silence.
"I see!"
Xifa suddenly stopped and whispered softly.
But then, he fell into deep thought again.
During her summer vacation, Elise discovered that her cognition was somewhat abnormal.
At first, she should blame it on two of the three unforgivable problems of learning black magic.
Until she met herself, she drew a magic painting for herself on a whim.
She may not have any intention of harming herself, but she just followed her muscle memory and her subconscious mind to ask for help, showing the abnormality in front of her.
However, I was misled by that coat...
That's not right, that coat, maybe that being deliberately misled him.
Cassandra was not affected because Lady Diana existed as a Nazgul, and she seemed to know the principle. Even if she didn't, she could at least protect Cassandra.
Luna was not affected, it should be the compass...
By the way, isn't the compass on Elise's neck?
In addition, Elise cannot be disturbed for no reason.
Then, it must be something the two of them experienced during the summer vacation.
"Cassandra, do you know how to help Elise?"
"I know! I'm going to help her right now!"
Xifa nodded, and Cassandra cast the Imperius Curse, entered Elise's heart, and used his patronus to guard Elise's consciousness so that she could rest.
"Luna! Give me all your experiences during the summer vacation!"
After speaking, Xifa raised his fist and looked at Luna with clear eyes.
"All?" She raised her hand very naturally, but stopped midway. Luna's face turned red and she hesitated.
"Yes, all of it, every minute, every second!"
Xifa said firmly.
"All right..."
"etc."
Professor Leslie stopped them and handed each of them a sofa.
In the end, only one sofa was used.
Xifa also turned it into a bed and placed it in the corner of the office.
The memories of the entire summer vacation cannot be read through in a short while.
After accepting the memory, Xifa closed his eyes and lay on the bed, sinking into the palace of thought.
Eat, run, practice magic, and brew potions.
Whispering among girlfriends, discussing one's own relationship attitudes, washing... I have to read it even if I bite the bullet.
Weeks of private life memories were quickly reviewed by myself.
Soon, several days had passed since Elise was petrified.
Basically, it takes a day for Westerners to read a week's worth of memories.
As the memory progressed more than halfway, Xifa became more and more alert, but his mind began to become numb.
After all, the abnormalities that have never been discovered are definitely in the remaining memories, but observing a person's memory for a long time will eventually be affected.
Finally, the memory fragment came to Professor Dumbledore going to the front line, which was the day after he stopped guiding the two of them.
Xifa felt that he had found the answer.
Elise suddenly told Luna that she wanted to go to her grandfather's secret office to read the notebook that recorded the Fergus family's connections!
When the memory scene comes to the secret room, that is, in front of the portrait of Gil Flower.
Xifa ended the fast-forwarding of the scene and began to observe carefully.
Luna and Elise opened the secret door of the portrait...nothing unusual.
The two of them walked all the way from the stairs to the office...nothing unusual.
Luna and Elise separated, and they each looked through the notes or books on the simple bookshelf.
This made Xifa feel a little restless.
Because there is no pensieve, the memory image is what Luna saw with her own eyes.
Outside the screen, I had no idea what Elise was doing.
Just when Xifa was trying to find some reflective object and enlarge the picture to view it.
"Luna! Come and see the family portrait of our two families!"
The screen suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that there was a problem with the memory fragment, but that Xifa breathed a long sigh of relief. He wanted to relieve his numb and tired thinking and carefully analyze every minute and every second that followed.
After an unknown amount of time, the screen continued.
Luna put down the notes in her hand and jogged to Elise's side.
The compass was glowing slightly... Xifa noticed this keenly.
Although the compass flashed past Elise's chest, it was obscured by her collar.
But I am sure that the compass has responded.
These two girls were excited because it was their grandfather's office.
No one noticed anything unusual about the compass.
