Yes, Xifa did not feel that his thinking was more active and his reactions were faster.
Thinking can also be cultivated through the practice of magic.
Xifa quickly asked Luna.
"It's working great, I have a few questions."
Speaking of this, both Elise and Luna turned their attention to the frowning Xifa.
"I feel that the sobriety potion cannot speed up my thinking or improve my reaction force, it just prevents me from being tired."
"By analogy, does the stamina potion only make you full of energy and not feel tired, but your physical fitness will not change?"
"The physical fitness is changed by the violent potion..."
Luna added quietly.
Xifa paused, "Are there no side effects?"
"have..."
Luna lacks confidence.
"Do you have any objections to running out every morning from now on?"
"No..."×2
Luna and Elise looked at each other and said in unison weakly.
In the coming weekends, I will exercise in the morning and in the afternoon...
After finishing the meat and vegetable lunch, Xifa thought about the arrangements for the afternoon.
Yes, find Professor Dumbledore.
Maybe, he will arrange an empty classroom for us.
However, Xifa's good wishes were shattered before he could even speak out.
[I'm going out for something, I'll be back on Monday! 】
Knocking on Professor Dumbledore's office, a string of golden and red words appeared above it.
"Why?"
Elise made a surprised sound on the side.
"Why are you surprised? This must be a method developed by Professor Dumbledore against you. He sneaked in and took away a letter while he was away!"
Luna scolded her mercilessly.
Making Elise cover her face in shame.
Xifa smiled, suddenly, he thought of a perfect place.
————————————
Hogwarts main castle
The number of floors is eight
Here, in addition to the Headmaster's Office, there is also the Gryffindor Lounge.
Even though it was Saturday afternoon, the entire floor was quiet and deserted.
But with the arrival of the three people, the still picture gained a touch of life.
"Xifa, this is the Gryffindor lounge!"
Looking at Xifa who had a clear goal in front of her and went straight to the portrait of the fat woman, Elise couldn't help but speak.
"I just came to take a look."
Xifa smiled.
"I guess we can't just go in."
"Of course, as long as you tell the correct password! Anyone can enter if you tell the correct password!"
The fat lady with half-closed eyes in the portrait said in a low voice as if she was not sleeping.
However, there was no waiting for the correct command or words of prayer.
She opened her eyes suddenly and realized that the three people in front of her were not students from her college.
"Children, you are the first-year freshmen! Inter-houses are not allowed to share the lounge! Of course, we, Gryffindor, are the exception. As long as you sincerely be friends with us... I almost forgot, you should leave quickly. ! The war is about to break out, and martial law has begun in the school this semester. Obviously the war has nothing to do with the school’s little wizards, but they actually created portraits of us..."
The fat lady was obviously full of energy when she woke up from her sleep. She started chattering about the school's ban.
"Uh, sorry for disturbing Madam's rest, we're leaving now."
Xifa couldn't stand this kind of passionate exchange, so he saluted, and before the Fat Madam could react, he led the two of them and fled.
"Gryffindor is famous for its hospitality! Like in previous years, no one didn't know that Gryffindor's lounge was on the eighth floor. Even so, no one could sneak into their house's lounge. It's no exaggeration. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that a random person from their college can skillfully name every Gryffindor student."
A truly hospitable Gryffindor!
Xifa clicked her tongue, in Gryffindor, friendship has no age distinction.
"Of course, our college makes no secret of our lounges."
On the other side, Luna added.
"But few outsiders can answer the knocker question correctly."
"Where are the other two colleges? Do you know?"
Elise thought for a while,
"It should be on the basement level. I don't know the specifics of Slytherin. Hufflepuff is next to the kitchen."
"Kitchen?! Do you know where the kitchen is?!"
"certainly!"
Elise proudly stroked her chest and puffed out her chest.
"hey-hey--"
Xifa showed a strange smile.
Luna and Elise looked at each other, hugged each other, and pretended to be scared.
Fighting and fussing.
The three of them returned to the eighth floor foyer.
"Next, I need a little help from you."
Xifa took a step forward, turned around and shook a finger at the two of them.
"Here? Do you want to practice magic here? Did you see that stone beast? Behind it is our principal's office!"
"Ahem, no, that's right, uh..."
"Ahem, of course not here. I heard an interesting story from my senior last night."
Inviting the two of them to come closer, Xifa lowered his voice when he saw no one was around.
"He went on a date with his girlfriend here and discovered a magical house here. Unfortunately, he only saw it once."
Western methods are serious nonsense.
But Elise and Luna didn't hear anything about a secret room or a magical house.
He didn't care about Xifa's face as he was making up stories.
Just the word date made both of their heads spin.
The two of them were in agreement and did not question Xifa.
They searched the entire foyer silently.
The two even used their wands to cast detection magic, poking and beating in an attempt to find the hidden mechanism.
Xifa vaguely remembered that it was next to a picture.
However, until Xifa passed through all the portraits, nothing changed at all.
As the sun gradually sets.
The two girls gave up and came to Xifa to comfort him.
"Xifa, your news may be a prank, let's go back first."
"Yes, this is Gryffindor's territory after all. If we are surrounded for a while, we will be unable to withstand it."
I always feel like I'm missing something.
Portrait, isn't the triggering mechanism of this world portrait?
Xifa tried hard to look through his vague memories and let the two women lead him.
Until, the three of them passed by the tapestry where a troll beat silly Barnabas with a club.
Out of sensitivity to portraits.
Xifa glanced at the tapestry, and he understood.
The portrait I think is the painting, ignoring that the portrait does not necessarily exist only in the painting, and the portrait in memory does not necessarily exist only in the painting.
Xifa broke away from the two men's hands.
Under the gaze of the two of them, he walked back and forth in front of the tapestry three times.
"found it!"
As expected, a door appeared opposite the tapestry.
Xifa pushed it away without hesitation.
"There really is a secret room!"
Elise screamed.
Luna quickly covered her mouth and breathed a sigh of relief when no one was around.
Taking Elise's hand, the two girls also disappeared into the aisle.
Also disappearing at the same time was the room door.
Enter the room and look at the scene in front of you.
Elise couldn't help but scream.
"Xifa! What the hell is this place!"
