Chapter 231 Inspection

"But haven't the magic paintings been put away?"

The little wizard who was watching suddenly interrupted.

"Yes, and the effect on the magic painting is not like that, isn't it?"

Another young wizard echoed.

Xifa was about to answer, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart.

When he was about to open his mouth to answer, he stayed on the sofa.

"That's what I thought." Filius Flitwick frowned when he saw Xifer.

He cleared his throat gently and explained for Xifa.

"Magic has long been cast upon everyone through magic."

"The magic paintings were all put away in the past few days, and this incident only appeared tonight."

"It may be a control-type curse. You must see something again within a specified time frame, or strengthen or alleviate its effects, otherwise it will break out."

Upon hearing this, a wizard who grew up in the Muggle world interrupted excitedly.

"I know this. In order to control some people, some families will regularly give them relieving antidotes. Once they stop taking the medicine, it will be painful and worse than death, or they will be irreversibly killed on the spot."

Is life worse than death? Is death on the spot more serious?

Except for Xifa, everyone gave the little wizard a big white eye.

Filius Flitwick couldn't help but be stunned before he nodded and said that was what he meant.

"It's just that we suddenly isolated everyone, and the people behind the scenes had no time to control everyone."

"According to my inference, all the little wizards will return to normal at noon tomorrow at the latest."

"The person behind the scenes should want to completely control all the little wizards, and use the threat of death to put some pressure on the Ministry of Magic to achieve his goals."

"That's not right!" Xifa suddenly stood up and ran out of the lounge with large strides.

Before anyone else could ask him what happened.

He walked out of the lounge without looking back, leaving only the patron saint of Xifa to explain to everyone.

"We still have people in each college to stop the commotion, but in the outer college, Professor Leslie has to be there in person."

"In this case, no one will appear in the corridors and classrooms in the castle."

"Someone is trying to contain us in order to destroy or gain something."

"I'm going to check, remember! No matter what happens outside, if you don't see my guardian angel, you must not act rashly!"

As the words fell, the dragon-shaped patron saint turned into fluorescent light and slowly dissipated in the air.

"But there is also the Crouch Cult..."

The shortest one, Filius Flitwick, raised his hand, and under his authority, the young wizard who spoke shut his mouth.

"What Xifa means is that Professor Crouch may be the culprit of this incident!" Senior Sister Miranda explained softly to comfort the little wizard who was interrupted.

"Can't? Professor Crouch is a senior Auror sent by the Ministry of Magic!"

"David! I support what West France means." Leander Adams explained to his best friend.

"The Ministry of Magic, although its status in the wizarding world is like the government of the Muggle world, it is a puppet institution of the Holy Pureblood Family."

"Those people want to occupy Hogwarts and its resources, so it is not impossible to do such a thing!"

"Are they crazy? This is during the war, what benefits will they gain from damaging Hogwarts?!" David looked in disbelief.

"During the last Wizarding War, do you know how many small families who believed in those people were betrayed by them?" Elena Gerald said quietly.

"That might be for the greater good!" David struggled with his expression. He didn't want to believe that the political center was so corrupt.

"Elise's family, that is, the Fergus family where our former dean belongs, all the backbone of the family were killed in the last stage of the last war!" Miranda said in a cold tone.

After the words fell, everyone in the lounge fell silent. Only the flames on the large fireplace kept beating, making the burning wood crackle from time to time.

——————

The sixth floor of Hogwarts main castle.

Xifa was walking silently through the empty corridor with walls.

There used to be a portrait here, but now it is imprisoned in the secret warehouse of Hogwarts.

Apart from the torches and candles, all that is left is the smooth gray-yellow stone wall.

According to the information Luna told her, it was here that she and Elise met Casper Crouch that day.

Or the women's bathroom...

Come to the bathroom door.

Xifa hesitated for a moment and took out his wand.

"The black snake is out"

It has to be said that the concealment of snakes is relatively good, and Cassandra has the characteristics of snakes, especially the transformation technique, and is extremely good at transforming activated snakes.

After seeing it more often, Xifa no longer hates snakes.

Several long black snakes emerged from the tip of the staff and burrowed towards the crack of the door in front of them.

It is a magical creation after all.

When they get close to the crack in the door, the black snakes flatten out as if they are leaking air, but they still move forward. The final image is that they pass through the crack like paper.

Xifa did not let up while holding the wand. If you look closely, you can see that the tip of the wand is connected to a black thread as thick as a hair.

The other end of the silk thread was tied to the black snake's tail, and the scene the black snake saw was transmitted to Xifa's mind.

No one...but I don't know if the Disillusionment Curse was cast!

Take a deep breath and cheer up.

Xifa opened his dragon eyes, held a ball of fierce fire in his hand, waved his wand, and opened the bathroom door.

Step into it carefully.

There was no peculiar smell in the air, and no source of magic power was visible.

At first glance, it looks like no one has been here for many days.

However, when Xifa opened the bathroom doors one by one.

His face darkened.

There are strong traces of spellcasting above every toilet!

Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is extremely corrosive black magic.

Xifa waved his magic wand without saying a word, and the faucet under the glass mirror behind him quickly opened.

Under the guidance of his magic, the water flow turns into a powerful high-pressure water flow.

Just a quick rinse.

The white powder on the wall was taken away by the water.

A group of purple-black spots on the wall were exposed.

What was here originally? Why was this level of black magic used?

Xifa summoned an icicle with the Ending Curse on it.

After getting close to the remaining corrosive magic.

The top of the icicle made a sizzling sound.

It took a long time before the corrosive magic was completely dealt with.

Xifa's heart sank.

In order to counter Hogwarts' own solidifying spell, this black magic is more corrosive than imagined.

It's a pity that I don't have time to investigate what's going on here now.

Helena should know, but I haven't seen her for a long time.

What on earth did Helena do? Since Professor Dumbledore left Hogwarts, why have the ghosts disappeared?

Was it Casper Crouch who unleashed this dark magic?

Does the professor's oath allow the release of this kind of black magic?

The problems that appeared one after another made Xifa feel like his head was getting big.
