This is the exclusive authority of the professor. It can temporarily turn the portrait into a mirror, which reflects recent events.
However...
The joy on Professor Leslie's face did not last long.
The screen only showed Abraxas Malfoy looking back from time to time, sneaking here.
Then...the screen freezes.
When playback resumed, Abraxas Malfoy... was missing?!
Wait! Gone?!
Xifa quickly raised his hand and formed a smooth ice mirror.
As expected, Abraxas was not reflected in it.
Eyes truly are one of the mediums.
In other words, to find the source of projection, you need to use suitable magic as a medium.
Tom also has an important message that he will tell himself only after the duel with him is over.
That is to say, he kept the magic as his trump card!
It’s not a curse, it’s the three unforgivables!
Xifa preferred the three unforgivables because... Dumbledore unexpectedly taught two of them to Elise and Luna without consulting him.
Now I have left a prophecy for myself to take the initiative.
Could it be...the Imperius Curse!
Yes, Tom's eyes were red at that time, he was probably casting the Imperius Curse!
Tsk, Tom, even if you cast the Imperius Curse on me, it won't have much effect.
With my Occlumency, you won't have much time to break through the defenses in my mind during a duel.
"Professor, seal the entire corridor. Ask me about the next magic. It's best not to let others see it."
"Oh, good!"
Professor Leslie, who was very frustrated, said nothing more and waved his hand gently. A wall was raised from the ground at all the stairwells in the corridor, sealing off the entire floor.
"Calling God to Guard"
This time, it was Xifa who cast the Patronus Charm with all his strength.
The silver-white black dragon is lifelike, and the nail scales and patterns on the dragon's skin are clearly visible.
"The soul is out of body!"
"The Imperius Curse!" Professor Leslie exclaimed! She finally understood why Professor Dumbledore made Xifer swear.
But I have to say that she was wrong. At that time, Dumbledore really didn't think so much.
At that time, he was only a little nervous because of Tom's disobedience.
Western France's Imperius Curse does not directly affect the projection.
Instead, it merges into the patron saint.
The Black Dragon Patron Saint absorbed the light of the Imperius Curse and became more vivid.
It twisted its neck a few times, as if clearing its throat.
Then he spit out a mouthful of silver-white dragon breath towards the projection.
A large cloud of white smoke enveloped Abraxas Malfoy's projection.
When the patron saint closes his mouth and ends the dragon's breath.
The projection seemed to shake slightly and blur for a moment.
Then the smoke mixed with the Imperius Curse was instantly inhaled by the projection.
When the last trace of smoke blends into it.
The projected body glowed with a faint silvery white fluorescence.
In the ice mirror, a silvery white outline also appears.
"This line!"
Professor Leslie suddenly shouted in surprise.
Professor, you are already half a hundred years old, can you keep your focus?
Xifa rolled his eyes inwardly, and then followed the thread to find the source.
What a portrait.
However, this portrait is of an inquisitor nailing a heretic to a cross in the Judgment Square of the church.
As the silk thread slowly merged into the heretic's body.
The man on the cross began to struggle.
The Holy Inquisitor seemed to have discovered something at this moment, and he began to slowly turn his head and look outside the frame.
Not good! Xifa felt that something unknown would happen if he was seen.
He grabbed Professor Leslie's hand and teleported without hesitation and disappeared into the corridor.
The Holy Judge turned his head and scanned the entire corridor with his scarlet eyes. There was nothing unusual. It should be the magic talisman on the prey.
So he slowly returned to his original state.
Soon, the silver fluorescence disappeared, and the man on the cross stopped struggling.
——————
"What is that?" Professor Leslie said in confusion.
"I don't know either..." On the stairs outside the wall, Xifa shook his head with an ugly expression.
The wizarding world can be so dangerous sometimes.
Magic power can determine the upper limit of power, but it cannot block too much magic.
Just like just now, Xifa felt that if he was targeted by the judge, he might also be pulled into the portrait.
At this moment, Professor Leslie suddenly let out a long sigh and said with emotion.
"No wonder Albus wants to sign an unbreakable oath with you. Although it cannot bind you, it is enough to remind you not to take the wrong path."
Teleportation within Hogwarts, the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.
It's still that amazing large-scale elemental magic.
Take a look at the other little wizards in Hogwarts.
Tom is an exception.
Others, the top young wizards after graduation, can reach the level that Xifa is currently exposed to.
She knew, however, that Xifa and the Animagus, the Fire Curse, etc. had not been used.
"That's an exaggeration, Professor. There are so many weird and weird magics in the magic world, just like the portrait just now. I actually feel a little helpless in my heart."
"Indeed, it is obviously the magic fluctuation of ordinary magic paintings... What should we do next? It is better for us not to enter this corridor."
Xifa didn't want to go in, in case he was targeted...
"Let's go see Jack! And test it out."
Xifa remembered that the only portrait in the corridor where Jack was attacked had changed.
Maybe we can find a breakthrough there.
...
Jack's projection still exists.
Xifa tightened her wand and wiped the sweat from her palms.
"Are you ready, Professor?"
"If you feel something is wrong, just take me away!"
Seeing that the professor was ready, Xifa took a deep breath.
For example, the French Cannon summons the patron saint and casts the Imperius Curse on it.
Then, Xifa's eyes fell on the only portrait.
"Sure enough, it's this painting!"
The thread appeared, Professor Leslie said softly with a hint of surprise.
Xifa didn't nod or answer. He looked at the skeleton in the portrait without blinking.
You must know that before, a man in black robe was dragging a man in wizard robe.
Over there with Abrassas Malfoy, the man on the cross glowed white.
By analogy, it should be the person on the ground wearing a wizard's robe. However, this portrait has changed now.
What if the skeleton targets him directly...
The portrait's reaction was indeed beyond Xifa's expectations, and it was so frightening that Xifa almost teleported away.
"Ah!!! Kill me! Set me free!!"
"Skeleton! Speak!" Although Professor Leslie has seen strong winds and waves, these words...
"Kill me! I can't stand it anymore! Let me die!!"
Xifa used his magic wand to touch the fragments of the flower pot that had been broken that day.
The fragment turned into a little man and flew to the portrait and shouted loudly.
“How to do it?”
"Burn! Burn me to death! I can't stand it anymore! It's so dark! So quiet!"
At this time, Xifa discovered that the skeleton's bones began to turn into flying dust from bottom to top.
The screams from the skeleton were also intermittent.
At this point, Xifa let out a long sigh.
He waved his hand and threw a ball of blue fire onto the portrait.
Professor Leslie stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, but in the end did not stop Xifa's movement.
Obviously, Jack's soul is irreversibly dissipating.
No one knows what the portrait will look like when Jack disappears completely...
When the portrait was completely burned, Xifa waved his hand to extinguish the flames.
