Elise was so nervous that she closed her eyes.
After waiting for a long time, my body did not feel enveloped by the cold lake water.
Carefully open one eye.
She was surprised to find that she was floating above the water.
It felt like there was an invisible air cushion under my body dragging me down.
Before she could fully appreciate it.
Luna reacted after being stunned and dragged her back to the boat by her calves.
"Huh~"
Luna eased her nervousness.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
"Xifa! You didn't use your wand just now?!"
"Why?"
Elise, who looked like she was surviving a disaster, also turned into a surprised face.
The last time in Diagon Alley, something happened suddenly.
Elise didn't notice whether Xifa used magic, let alone a wand.
"Indeed, what happened just now happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to take out my wand. What's more, my spell... forget it, I can't cast a spell."
Thinking that during the holidays, there was a chance that his spell would have the effect of a blasting spell, Xifa changed his mind decisively.
The reason why the little wizard is chosen to enter school at the age of eleven is also because at this age, the magic power of the little wizard will become milder.
Can cast spells with a wand more easily.
Of course, as a price, from now on, it will be difficult for the little wizard to cast spells without a wand.
"Xifa, can you use this magic as you wish?"
Seeing Xifa nodding, Luna quickly asked.
"Can you do it again on both of us?"
Although I don't understand it, this simple magic that I call the hand of a mage is easy to cast.
As a result, Elise and Luna slowly floated up.
"Elise, do you feel it?"
"Well, I thought it was a floating spell at first, but before I could fully understand it, I pulled you back."
Luna rolled her eyes angrily and said that she should let you experience a cold water bath.
The floating spell causes the object's own gravity to disappear and then slowly rise into the sky.
This is why it is difficult for the Levitation Spell to work on wizards. The wizard's own magic can disturb this strange balance. Unless the spell caster is highly skilled.
And this magic is called the hand of the mage in Western France.
It's like being pressed down on yourself by an invisible airflow, but you are still affected by gravity.
"Okay, Xifa, when we go back, Elise and I will check the information carefully. We don't understand the principle of your spell."
"Xifa? Xifa?!"
Xifa was seen staring blankly behind the two girls.
The two looked back and saw only Hogwarts Castle visible under the thunder and lightning.
They shouted louder, asking Xifa to put them both down.
Xifa finally regained his composure.
The two girls also landed safely in the boat.
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Elise came to Xifa and followed Xifa's gaze, but there was nothing.
"I saw a translucent wall that Professor Rudd had passed through. It didn't seem to have any effect."
"Why?"
Elise was surprised. In her field of vision, there was nothing in front of her.
Luna stroked her hair, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Elise, aren't you still complaining that we have to run to the station and take the bus to school even though we live in Hogwarts?"
"Do you remember in the history of Hogwarts, when there was no express train, new students had to walk a long distance to enter the school?"
Clever Elise knows everything.
"You mean, this is a protection ceremony for young wizards that is vaguely mentioned in the school history?"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Xifa was confused, Elise opened her mouth to explain.
"Ritual magic is a general term for magic that is performed with the help of external objects and according to certain steps. The little wizard protection ritual is vaguely mentioned in the book. Through this magic. No little wizard who enters school will die in the castle. .”
Xifa nodded, indicating that he understood.
It seems that now, although the little wizard does not have to walk long distances into Hogwarts, the necessary steps are necessary.
Suddenly, Xifa's eyes were shocked.
He discovered that as long as he did not activate the magic of 'Mage's Hand'.
The fluorescent wall in front of you will disappear.
He quickly told the two of them about this discovery.
"Don't know. It's beyond our level of knowledge."
After hesitating for a moment, Elise suddenly spoke up and gave instructions.
"Xifa, the most you can tell Professor Dumbledore about this matter is that others must not mention it."
"Including your grandfather?"
There was a moment of silence.
"include!"
I didn’t ask why, Dumbledore seemed like a wizard on the level of justice, but what happened to Professor Fergus? Granddaughter is having a tantrum with her grandfather?
Without thinking much, Xifa wrote down the incident and put it behind him.
Finally, the boat reached the other side of the lake.
Xifa disembarked first and picked up the two of them ashore.
"Let us climb up?"
Pointing to the winding stone road in front of him, Xifa raised his eyebrows and asked.
The two women adjusted their clothes and nodded in agreement.
Okay, okay, it seems to be another process of ritual magic.
Xifa, who persisted in exercising, dragged the two of them up to the top of the mountain, panting from exhaustion.
The second girl said she was sorry, but their physical fitness was indeed very poor.
Mr. Rudd, who had disappeared long ago, was now guarding the gate of the castle.
Seeing that the three of them had arrived first, he nodded with satisfaction.
The three people stepped forward to say hello to Mr. Rudd.
Later, Xifa, who was a little tired, lost the politeness he had when they first met.
The three of them leaned together to regain their strength.
Cold, hungry, exhausted...
These negative effects made Xifa shudder.
The two girls felt it.
They have a tacit understanding to get closer to Xifa.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Xifa believes that freshmen who can persist in arriving at the castle in such bad weather are qualified students.
However, he also underestimated the young wizards' yearning for a real magical campus life.
Soon, large numbers of freshmen were supporting or encouraging each other to reach the finish line.
There is only a group of people who are incompatible with them. They seem to be in a strict hierarchy, and those behind them will never surpass the steps of those in front.
"Everyone, be quiet and stand in front of the door!"
I saw no one coming up from the exit.
The burly Professor Rudd roared loudly.
No one talked back at this time, or in other words, no one had the energy to talk back.
Even the rebellious pure-blood descendants stood in a row.
Professor Rude quickly counted the number of people. Very good, there were not many of them.
He nodded with satisfaction and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Rudd turned around and came to the door, flexing his muscles and pushing it open.
Xifa was stunned for a moment as he watched. Was this an act or did he really need pure physical strength to push it away? Why not use magic?
The question was forgotten as soon as the door was fully opened.
I saw that the air flow caused by the opening of the door made the candlelight above my head beat slightly, and the interior of the castle with complex patterns and traces of time was revealed in front of me.
Xifa, who was at the head of the queue, was naturally the leader. He led all the little wizards to enter in an orderly manner.
What he didn't know was that there was a person behind him staring at him, his red eyes revealing resentment.
