Chapter 227: The soul-stealing curse tests the projection
Prefects have the authority to deal with young wizards who have no job.
But there is nothing you can do about the prefects at the same level.
Moreover, given the strength Xifa showed that day, Slytherin's prefects were still willing to cooperate with his command.
However, everyone was pointing fingers here, but in the end they couldn't find where the problem lies.
Professor Leslie worked all night long and drank the magic potion before he could muster up the energy to complete today's task of taking care of the herbs.
Just when I was about to squint my eyes, I was brought here again by the patron saint of Xifa.
Leslie taught her visible physical and mental exhaustion.
Although Abraxas is only an apparent heir to the Malfoy family, if he is attacked at Hogwarts, he will eventually be blamed by the Ministry of Magic.
The Ministry of Magic even had an excuse to intervene in the security of Hogwarts again.
Thinking of this, Professor Leslie felt a little disappointed.
Seeing that there was silence in the place, she waved her hand to Xifa, and Xifa understood.
He conveyed Professor Leslie's message to everyone present - don't make me feel uncomfortable by hanging around here, and go do what you need to do.
After all, he is an old professor at Hogwarts, so authority is still very effective.
The group of people turned around and left without saying anything.
Professor Leslie finally steeled herself and decided to seal off this corridor.
"etc--"
Seeing no one around, Xifa stopped the professor's actions.
"Xifa, you are not allowed to interfere in this matter! The Ministry of Magic still needs us to support the front line and will not embarrass us."
Professor Leslie said in a rare serious tone.
It turns out that it was just a little wizard in the outer courtyard who was attacked.
Naturally, pure-blood families won't notice.
But now, the apparent heir to the Malfoy family of the Holy Twelve families was attacked.
A pure-blood family will definitely not sit idly by.
If Xifa was involved in this matter at this time, the Aurors who came to investigate might slander Xifa.
After all, there are countless Aurors in the Ministry of Magic who have defected to pure-blood families.
As long as they convict Xifa, Elise and Luna will obediently hand over their property.
"How long can we wait without letting this matter get out?"
Xifa was unmoved and said calmly.
"It has probably been passed back to the various families, but they don't have the power to change the system of Hogwarts until the holidays."
"Unless I die, according to my oath, I alone have the final say in Hogwarts this semester!"
When Xifa heard this, he felt even more certain in his heart.
Dumbledore must have known something to make such an arrangement.
Otherwise, the principal and vice-principal will not stay, but only the herbal medicine professor will be retained, and she will be given such great rights. What does that mean?
"That is to say, as long as we find evidence that the pure-blood family is doing something wrong before the end of this semester, it will be enough?"
Xifa took a deep breath and said.
"Is it done by a pure-blood family? Is it Casper? Impossible, it's impossible for a professor to circumvent the inaugural declaration!"
When Professor Leslie heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then retorted.
She hated the new professor sent by the Ministry of Magic to leverage the power of Hogwarts.
But in her heartfelt words, Casper is still trustworthy.
"professor..."
Let’s tell the truth.
Xifa opened her mouth, and seeing that Professor Leslie was still unmoved, she swallowed the rest of the persuasion.
Xifa raised his right hand and saw golden and red chain-like magic lines beginning to appear on his wrist.
"This is..." A strange light flashed in Professor Leslie's eyes, and her heart began to shake. Why did Xifa have this?
"Unbreakable Vow!" Xifa continued what Professor Leslie could not say.
"I signed a contract with Professor Dumbledore, one of which is that I cannot take the initiative to harm a current Hogwarts student."
Xifa paused and then said.
"But if the professor hadn't stopped me, I would have killed Riddle."
"Because he was the one who agreed to a duel with me, and he used the explosive spell first."
"Professor, as long as there are regulations, there will always be loopholes to get around."
Professor Leslie was having a battle between heaven and man in her heart. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said.
"Then I'll go confront him right now!"
"Don't worry, professor, let's deal with the matter at hand first. Professor Crouch's matter requires the professor to issue a ban."
"What ban?"
"All young wizards are prohibited from leaving the common room! Until the Professor has completed your inspection of the main castle of Hogwarts."
"No problem, I'll notify the prefects of each grade right away." "Calling God for Guards."
After Professor Leslie made up her mind, she acted vigorously and resolutely. After she finished speaking, she immediately released her patronus spell and asked the prefects of each grade to restrain the young wizards in their own colleges.
After watching a four-legged beast disappear at the end of the corridor, Xifa silently withdrew his gaze.
The little badger seems to be quite cute...what a mess! Xifa shook this distracting thought out of his mind.
"What happened to Abraxas Malfoy is the same as what happened to Jack. At least I didn't find any difference between them."
"To be honest, I don't see any difference, except that the victim and location are different..."
Sypha stepped forward and paced back and forth around the shadow of a furious-looking Abraxas Malfoy.
"and you?"
"Professor, do you know why I dueled with classmate Riddle? Because his bet with me was about information about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."
"It's actually Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?! Are the rumors true?!" Professor Leslie's eyes widened in rare surprise.
"However, this matter has nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets, but Casper Crouch may want to open the Chamber of Secrets."
"Why?! By opening the Chamber of Secrets, all non-pure-blood wizards may be harmed. His oath has not been triggered!"
Hearing this, Professor Leslie frowned and asked Xifa with a puzzled expression.
"What if Casper Crouch modifies the memory and the Chamber of Secrets helps the little Slytherin wizard master stronger magic and has no impact on other people?"
...a long silence...
Professor Leslie was a little discouraged. Indeed, it was just a verbal oath, and the binding force was really poor.
"Of course, the Chamber of Secrets has nothing to do with what we are going through right now. Of course, it does not rule out that Casper Crouch meant to divert attention. Malfoy may have accidentally hit him when he was transferring the props.
Got it."
"Isn't that back to square one? Or do you still know nothing?"
"No...Classmate Riddle has another bet with me. He will tell me the results of his assessment of Jack's condition."
"What did he say?"
"The soul is gone! The portrait!"
"No more?" Professor Leslie frowned upon hearing this.
There is no soul. I have already identified it. It is indeed not there.
portrait...
Professor Leslie glanced at the corridor. Basically every two steps he took, a new portrait would appear next to him.
These portraits are all trump cards for Hogwarts defense, and there is no chance that there will be any problems.
Could it be that the portrait records what happened?!
