275. Chain Curse
For wizards, falling from a high altitude is not fatal, and it is not even possible to cause injury.
Unless you don't have a wand in your hand, or you are in a situation where you cannot cast the levitation spell.
Elaine does not fall into either of these categories, however...
"I'm really fine...cough, cough!"
"Will you vomit blood if you have nothing to do?!" "What do you mean it's nothing to do with you!"
Although there was not even a scratch on his skin, he was forced to be sent to the school hospital because he vomited a large amount of blood.
It was spraying as if it was about to spit out all the blood in her body, but inexplicably, Elaine didn't feel any discomfort at all, and she could still smile and say hello to other people.
He was vomiting blood and laughing at the same time. This contrast frightened all the students passing by. Coupled with the terrifying cherry blossom-colored magic cannon just now, the rumor that 'Shafiq suffered severe backlash because he used powerful magic' spread instantly. The whole school.
"But I feel really good, except that the smell of blood in my mouth is a bit stronger... coughing."
"lie!"
"...No, she doesn't need to lie about this kind of thing." Pulling the excited Hermione, Daphne, who calmed down, frowned and observed Elaine carefully, "She vomited so much blood, but her face didn't change. , which is unusual.”
"Yes, I think it's some kind of strange curse or dark magic. After all, our dark magic professor is very powerful." Madam Pomfrey said angrily, "This is beyond my strength. I have already invited the principal to come. "
After saying that, she glared at Elaine fiercely, and after nagging a few words like "Don't make any noise," "Clean the floor yourself," and "Always do such dangerous things," she didn't look back. into the office.
Sensing the out-of-sight, out-of-sight atmosphere, Elaine was a little confused. Why did Madam Pomfrey get so angry every time she saw her? She didn't do anything, right?
"How can it be that people who are admitted to the campus hospital every September do nothing?" Daphne sighed helplessly, "Moreover, since Professor Shafiq came, the number of injured students has begun to increase, so of course she will be angry .”
"In other words, venting anger? Cough, this makes no sense at all...cough!"
"You are his daughter." Hermione shook her head, took out her wand, and began to clean up the blood on the ground. "And based on your situation, you're not considered innocent? After all, you have something inside your body...well, that's it."
"Inside the body...that's it. I fell down because of that guy Adair, right?"
"Yeah." Daphne replied, "Do you think he used a strange curse to attack you? But──"
"He didn't put the curse." Elaine waved her hand, "He just triggered it."
"what?"
"Don't look like that, didn't I become the head of the Shafiq family? As you know, all the Shafiq people are bound by the soul genealogy, and then they attack the head of the family..."
"...violated family rules." The corners of Hermione's mouth twitched slightly, and she continued what Elaine had said. "He will be punished, but the punishment of the soul genealogy is directly aimed at the soul, so as a Horcrux, you also..."
"That's it, cough." Elaine wiped away the blood on her mouth and said in a good mood, "That guy must be feeling uncomfortable now, but his current body is an inferi, so you can't tell. Hey, there is such a thing It’s a good method. Every time I think about how to teach the bastard inside me, next time──”
"Please don't do this."
Dumbledore and an angry Professor McGonagall walked into the room. They walked straight to Elaine's bed. As they walked, a blue light curtain rose, surrounding the entire room.
The first thing Professor McGonagall did was to grab Elaine's ears hard.
"It hurts, does it hurt? Professor you..."
"Can you use your brain before taking action?" Professor McGonagall shouted sharply, and Elaine felt like she was going deaf. "A Boggart, a Boggart without claws or teeth, not a dragon! Using such powerful magic, doesn't Miss Shafik think this behavior is too much?!"
Hermione and Daphne nodded in agreement, but Dumbledore said nothing.
"Uh...I was..."
Elaine laughed dryly. Of course she knew that her behavior was excessive, but it was really not a pity to die for that Boggart.
It must be wiped out, but ordinary magic cannot harm the boggart. Adair used Avada Kedavra during the demonstration, and the boggart will be fine, because like the dementors, it transcends life and death.
Beyond life and death means that the object has never really lived. They have never died and cannot die. It is a common attribute of non-being magical creatures. Such creatures are created by human emotions and cannot be destroyed.
So Elaine decided to use slb to deal with the non-existence, either by using the corresponding expulsion spell, or by instantly bursting out huge magic power to erase its existence, and it was so funny... Do you want Elaine to make a joke on the corpses of Hermione and Daphne? How can it be.
It was a bit of a fuss, but even if time was reversed, Elaine would still blast the Boggart, and deliberately opened the scar when the three of them tried hard to forget the incident. It was natural for them to be SLB.
"...One hundred points from Gryffindor, as well as five volumes of parchment and a letter of repentance and half a year of labor service."
"Professor, Professor Shafiq has asked her to write a five-volume parchment letter of repentance."
"That's ten rolls of parchment. No duplication is allowed."
"Wait a minute, is this too much?"
"It is indeed unreasonable." Dumbledore finally spoke, stroking his beard. "Not only did they destroy the defensive magic set up by the four founders, but they also destroyed a small hill. Such a serious loss. Ten rolls of parchment seem to be──"
"...I accept it! I reflect on it!"
"Or not."
Although the old principal was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. Suppressed by that aura, both Hermione and Daphne shivered unnaturally.
He made a gesture, and Professor McGonagall said something to Daphne and Hermione, and took the two away, leaving Elaine and Dumbledore alone.
"……What's wrong?"
Sensing that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, Elaine asked in confusion.
"Whether you can use that power again or not, don't do it again." Dumbledore said directly. "It's too conspicuous, too dangerous, and too tempting. It can break the defensive magic set up by the four founders. Even if Adair takes emergency measures, I think many people will still covet it."
"During this period, don't leave the campus hospital, stay there for a month pretending to be seriously ill, and then write a letter to the reporter to start Plan B as soon as possible─"
"Wait... is it so serious?" Elaine was stunned. This wasn't the first time she had made big news. Why did everyone react so strongly this time? "It's just a part that exploded..."
"That's a magic set by the four founders. Do you think it's not powerful enough?" Dumbledore said, "Even if all the Aurors in the UK join forces to attack, the walls of Hogwarts will not be broken, but you... Why."
"Is it that strong?"
"Have."
Recalling the situation in the last episode of the original novel and movie when the Death Eaters attacked the castle, Elaine really doubted Dumbledore's statement; perhaps seeing through her doubts, Dumbledore explained.
"The situation you are thinking is different from now. The castle's defensive magic needs to absorb the principal's magic to maintain. Although the vice-principal can use part of the defensive power, it is still far behind the principal's authority."
"Anyway, I will call on my contacts to help you suppress this matter. Adair is also hypnotizing students to change public opinion. You should contact your reporter quickly to divert everyone's attention... Be careful in the future and don't use it in public. Such exaggerated means of destruction."
"It's not like it hasn't been used before..." Elaine murmured. Is the attitude of these wizards too fussy? "...I've never seen you so nervous before."
"At this time, you have selectively forgotten your body's age." Dumbledore said lightly, "In Diagon Alley, Adair deliberately left a backdoor for you to solve, while in Azkaban, it was an ancient magic prop. This time What? It’s not that you can’t use it, but don’t use it so openly in front of other people, it won’t look good.”
"I'll try my best." Elaine scratched her chin and replied. "It's a bit of an accident this time, that Bo..."
"I don't want to hear your explanation." Dumbledore raised his hand, interrupting Elaine. "As someone who has experienced this, I advise you that wizards' desire for strong men is beyond your imagination. It's best to keep a low profile - if you don't want to be pursued by hundreds of men."
