Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

Chapter 257 Brother Bond

A few days before Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel arrived on Salisbury Plain.

In faraway Hogwarts.

In the Transfiguration Office.

An anxious atmosphere filled this simple and elegant room.

Luna is fine, she brews potions all the year round, and now she just sits curled up on the sofa, her thumbs are intertwined with each other and keeps turning, her pure blue eyes are staring straight at the six-pointed star in front of her. array.

There is a cross placed on the magic circle, as long as Xifa breaks the seal, this sterling silver cross will reflect a faint silver light.

Prayer, the most extensive magic of the holy religion.It's actually lumiphoresis, except that Squibs can also light crosses through these rituals.

Cassandra obviously doesn't have Luna's patience, she can't hold back her restlessness, she needs to vent, but Elise needs her at any time, and Luna also needs her company, so she can only hold back aggrievedly. Walking back and forth in the office.

"Luna, Xifa shattered the resonance ball that he wanted to undo the seal, but two days have passed without any movement, and he didn't give us any information about his leaving the sealed place."

"You said he..."

Just when Luna was about to stop Cassandra from 'cursing' Sifer.

dong dong——

There was a heavy knock on the office door.

at this time...

Luna and Cassandra looked at each other, and Cassandra nodded, indicating that she would open the door.

"Teacher Dumbledore... no... who are you?"

The man in front of him was very similar to Dumbledore in appearance, but after all, there were some differences, and the smell on his body was also unfamiliar to him.

Cassandra reacted and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"This is Professor Dumbledore's own brother - Mr. Aberforth Dumbledore. Please come in."

Of course Luna knew the true identity of the owner of the Pig's Head Bar.

Aberforth showed a stiff smile on the face of the two daughters, and walked into the room with unrestrained steps.

"Is this the place where Dumbledore works?" When he came to the room, Aberforth glanced around, looking at the old but spotless room, he said with emotion.

It sounds like this is Mr. Aberforth's first time here, Cassandra thought.

"So, are you really brothers? Why is the environment in your bar so bad?"

"Luna..." Cassandra pulled Luna's sleeve carefully. After all, he is Professor Dumbledore's brother, so what if he gets angry?

"Oh, I don't mind if you pay someone or order the Hogwarts house elves to clean up for me."

Aberforth said angrily.

Originally, the house elves of Hogwarts also worked part-time to clean the shops in Hogsmeade Village.

All it takes is one Sickle to hire a house-elf to keep the house clean.

But ever since Albus Dumbledore became a professor at Hogwarts, the house-elf service was discontinued.

"Let's talk about the business first, my... brother asked me to bring you a sentence and an item."

"Sifa is safe, don't worry about him."

"This is the Mirror of Erised, and you will need it."

After finishing speaking, he took out from his pocket a pair of ultra-imposing mirrors that reached to the ceiling with a golden frame and two claw-shaped feet underneath.

The Mirror of Erised enables a person to see his deepest and strongest desires.

What do they need this for?

Luna was a little dazed, but fortunately, her Occlumency functioned subconsciously, so that the self in front of the mirror appeared in the mirror normally.

"I understand..."

The voice of the imperial department suddenly appeared next to the three of them, it was Lady Diana.

"Mom, what do you understand?" Cassandra asked impatiently.

Hearing the words, Aberforth put away his vigilance, and nodded slightly to greet her.

"The demon seeds are not so easy to get rid of. Even with the baptism of holy water to force the parasitic demon seeds back to their original state, we have to cut off part of the magic source of Elise."

"That is to say, the holy water can only force the demon seed into the source of magic power of Ellis. If you want to completely cure Elise, you must cut off the demon seed and the source of magic power attached to it."

"Although Elise has two sources of magic power, losing one will eventually hurt her vitality for a period of time."

"In addition to the widely spread effect of the Mirror of Erised, it also has the effect of dragging demons into the mirror world. In the mirror, we can use the Patronus to fight against them."

"Besides, in the mirror, if the demon is not destroyed, the mirror will always emit magic fluctuations. We don't have to worry about the demon not being killed."

"Of course, these functions can only be activated after the seal is released. Otherwise, it can only look at what our hearts desire most."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"But, why hasn't Cifer untied the seal for so long?" Luna asked first, and she stared at Aberforth with wide eyes, hoping he could give him an explanation.

"This... seems to be related to time. When my brother was negotiating with Master Flamel, I heard a few words. I saw that I had nothing to do, so I went to drink..."

Aberforth straightened his back, speaking confidently and confidently.

"I don't care, my mission is complete, Albus said, at the latest seven days, Sifa will break the seal. Goodbye, everyone."

Facing the resentful gazes of the two girls, Aberforth found an excuse in embarrassment.

Hastily opened the door, and strode away from Hogwarts.

I am used to living in a messy place, but I am not used to staying in a clean place.

When he went out, he comforted himself in this way.Calm your guilty mind.

As the door closed again, only the two of them were left awake in the office.

Luna curled up on the sofa again, hugging her legs with her hands, resting her chin on her knees, staring at the cross in the water in front of her in a silent trance.

Cassandra continued to pace back and forth. Suddenly, she found a portrait on the desktop. In the portrait, a girl with a slightly sad face was smiling slightly at her.

Could it be that...

She couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Hey! The portrait of Mr. Dumbledore has fallen!"

After speaking, she made a gesture to go out and call Aberforth Dumbledore back.

Luna realized it later and looked for her reputation. Then, she understood in an instant, and hurriedly spoke to stop Cassandra.

"return!"

Facing the puzzled Cassandra, she explained with a sigh.

"This is the portrait of Arianna Dumbledore, the sister of the two brothers. Mr. Dumbledore... It's hard to say clearly in a few words, you just need to know that they all love this sister, their brotherhood, It's also because of her that it's weird."

"So, portraits are one of their most cherished things, so they don't lend them easily?"

Cassandra picked up the words as if enlightened.Mr. Dumbledore must have not agreed to Professor Dumbledore's request in person, but secretly, he still helped his brother.

Old arrogant.

"right..."

Luna actually understood Cassandra's anticlimactic words, and she uttered a word to express her approval.
