Witcher at Hogwarts

"What's going on?" Sirius Black said in surprise.

"Let me see," Dumbledore said. He walked two steps closer to Mrs. Black's portrait and observed it carefully.

Dumbledore drew his hand across the black canvas where Mrs. Black's portrait had turned, and he carefully observed the black canvas.

But with the naked eye alone, Dumbledore didn't notice anything.

Dumbledore could only draw out his wand, tap a few times on the canvas, and cast a few detection spells.

Many glowing bright spots emerged from Dumbledore's wand, and these bright spots soon covered the entire painting. Dumbledore closed his eyes and frowned as he carefully examined the painting.

After a long time, Dumbledore opened his eyes. "Forgive me, Black, I can't find out why Mrs. Black disappeared." Dumbledore said helplessly.

"It's okay, Dumbledore, you have done enough for me." Sirius Black said hurriedly.

"Perhaps, we can ask about the other portraits in this room," Ethan suggested.

This proposal made Dumbledore and Sirius Black's eyes light up. They acted quickly and found several portraits in the same corridor as Mrs. Black.

Seeing Dumbledore walking towards him, a portrait of a male wizard sitting on a chair and wearing a pointed wizard hat quickly stood up from the chair, took off his hat and saluted Dumbledore.

"Hello, sir." Dumbledore looked at the wizard in the painting with a smile. "I want to ask you something," Dumbledore said.

"Just ask." This wizard obviously knew Dumbledore's name and spoke to Dumbledore with great respect.

"I was wondering if anyone came in when we left the room, or if there was anything unusual about Mrs. Black's portrait?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know." The portrait suddenly said in a dull voice.

Ethan noticed that even the portrait's eyes were dull when he said this sentence.

Soon the portrait seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream and trembled, "Sorry, Mr. Dumbledore, I seemed to be distracted just now. Did you just ask a question?"

The portrait still said to Dumbledore enthusiastically.

Ethan, Dumbledore, and Sirius Black looked at each other, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Dumbledore then asked the same questions to several other portraits, but unfortunately they all got the same answers, whenever he asked questions about what the three found after they left.

These portraits seemed to be affected by some force, and they could only say in dull voices that they knew nothing about what had just happened.

"Something must have happened," Dumbledore said seriously. "All the portraits present seem to have been affected by some mysterious power."

"I just checked the situation in the house. No one has come in from the outside, and the anti-theft magic has not been triggered. Moreover, with the protection of the Loyalty Charm, no one can get in here except the three of us."

Sirius Black said worriedly.

Dumbledore crossed his fingers and frowned, thinking about something seriously.

After a while, Dumbledore finally spoke, "Black, can I take Mrs. Black's portrait back to Hogwarts for investigation? This matter is really weird."

"No problem," Sirius Black said quickly, "but my mother once cast a permanent sticking charm on the back of the portrait so that she could stay there forever."

"I guess that's not a problem," said Dumbledore, and after speaking, Dumbledore pointed the Elder Wand at the frame.

"All curses end," Dumbledore said softly.

Then the portrait made a slight clicking sound, shook left and right twice, and fell off the wall in one fell swoop.

Dumbledore caught the portrait before it fell to the floor.

"Hey, what is this?" Sirius Black suddenly said, and he suddenly discovered that a small mirror appeared behind his mother's portrait.

"Is this what was originally installed here in your home?" Ethan asked Sirius Black.

"No, there is absolutely no such thing in my family." Sirius Black said seriously.

"You mean the mirror appeared after the portrait was hung?" Dumbledore asked Sirius Black seriously.

"Before you hang the portrait, I can guarantee that it will not be without the mirror," said Sirius Black.

Dumbledore looked carefully at the mirror mounted on the wall.

The mirror was neatly mounted on the wall, completely flush with the wall. Ethan looked at the mirror, and the mirror reflected Dumbledore's appearance.

The workmanship of this mirror seemed a little poor, and Dumbledore's face was distorted.

Through observation alone, Dumbledore could not detect anything unusual about this mirror of unknown origin.

Dumbledore touched this ordinary-looking mirror lightly with some curiosity.

The moment Dumbledore touched the mirror, with a crisp crackling sound, the mirror exploded.

Dumbledore quickly pulled his hand back, but it was still a little late. Dumbledore's finger was cut open by the mirror.

Red blood flowed from Dumbledore's fingers.

"This is one by one." Dumbledore looked at his bleeding fingers in a daze.

Suddenly Dumbledore reacted and quickly used several detection spells on his fingers and the fragments of the mirror.

After the detection, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was no poison or curse attached to the mirror.

"There's something odd about this mirror," said Dumbledore.

Ethan frowned and stared at the pile of mirror fragments. He always felt that there was something unusual about the mirror.

Suddenly, Ethan's breathing became rapid. He raised his wand and touched it twice. The fragments of the mirror quickly floated from the ground.

And it automatically started patchwork in mid-air.

The mirror was quickly put together in mid-air, but it was obvious that the broken mirror was missing a piece.

It was the piece of mirror that cut Dumbledore's finger. Dumbledore stared at the mirror that was missing the piece with a serious face.

Ethan and Sirius Black looked at each other, with some uneasiness in their eyes.

Dumbledore looked at the fragments of the mirror. He knew that something was not good about this. The mirror was stained with his own blood.

And losing one's own blood is really not a good thing for the wizard.

"Bring the mirror back, I have to examine it in detail." Dumbledore said to Ethan.

Ethan nodded, took out a bag from his bag, and used a floating spell to put the mirror in the bag without touching the mirror fragments.

After tying the knot, he handed the bag to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore carefully put the bag containing the mirror into his pocket.

"Okay, I will continue to investigate this matter." Dumbledore said calmly, "We should solve the Regulus matter now."
