33, Truth Under Lies

Aglaia's guess was right, and in just one afternoon, Tom Riddle defeated all the opponents who came to challenge him with just one curse, and he didn't even need any help.

There was absolutely no one to defend against his curse.

And the price is only a row of dead plants on the balcony.

Undoubtedly, he became Professor Melles' assistant teacher, the first assistant teacher in all of Hogwarts at rocket speed.

This big news not only shocked all the Gryffindor students, but almost all of them talked about it, a Slytherin as a teaching assistant to the Gryffindor head, and a second-year student who was not too famous.

For a while, all the Gryffindors were blaming each other.

The second grade blames the third grade, the third grade blames the fourth grade, and the fourth grade blames the fourth grade...... And so on, until the seventh grade.

But no one cracks it, no one cracks it.

To be honest, Hoffa didn't know how to crack that curse on his own. It would be true that he could dodge it with a ghost walk, but that was a different thing than cracking.

But now was not the time for him to wrestle with Tom Riddle's strange curses, and two days passed like lightning.

On Wednesday, Hoffa had no suspense in his first metamorphosis class of his second year.

There is no doubt that he does not want to go on.

He even wanted to skip all Transfiguration classes like Miranda didn't take a Charms class last year. But apparently he couldn't do that, his grandfather wasn't the vice-principal, and he wasn't an 11-year-old.

Ideas are just ideas.

After breakfast, he silently followed behind his two friends and walked into the transformation classroom on the third floor.

In the classroom, Tom Riddle became the hero in the eyes of all Slytherins. Even the haughty Malfoy admired him.

He put his arm around Tom's shoulders and sat down at the table to talk.

There is a great attitude of pointing the country and not being able to do it.

Tom, on the other hand, is very low-key, he just smiles and talks kindly to the admirers around him.

Hoffa didn't know what this guy had been doing for more than two months, but apparently, he hadn't wasted any time.

I didn't wait long in the classroom, and a firm and negative mental force field came from far and near.

Boom!

As soon as the door of the Transfiguration classroom opened, and everyone laughed, Hoffa lowered his head and said nothing.

Ossivia walked in slowly, she was wearing a purple robe, high-top leather boots, and an ordinary satchel, still looking meticulous and indifferent.

The others didn't have the same experience as Hoffa, they didn't know anything about the tall girl in front of them, and they talked excitedly one by one.

Abraxas Malfoy even slapped the table excitedly, trying to get the attention of the beautiful teacher.

In the entire Slytherin table, only Tom Riddle had a calm expression.

Ossivia stood on the podium, glanced around, and said not a word. Neither to stop the crowd from getting excited, nor to shouting at it.

It wasn't until the people below felt that something was wrong that the voice slowly calmed down until it was silent.

She slowly picked up a list on the table and began to roll call.

"Abraxas Malfoy. ”

Malfoy excitedly raised his hands.

"To. ”

"Finjay Rocner. ”

"To. ”

"Charlie Black. ”

"To. ”

"Falco Ekron. ”

"To. ”

......

After connecting more than a dozen students, she put down the roster and said lightly: "The people I clicked just now, each person will be deducted 10 points, and the next time I make a noise, 20 will be deducted, and if I commit it again for the third time, I don't have to take the final exam." ”

The enthusiasm in the classroom was like a bonfire met the cold Siberian wind, and it was blown out in the blink of an eye.

The Slytherins were all stunned, they looked at each other as if they could put eggs in their mouths.

Before she even started the lesson, she had already written down everyone's names.

Aglaya grinned on her lips, bumped Hoffa with her elbow, and said with her mouth, "I like this teacher. ”

Hoffa just glanced at her and continued to keep his head down. Don't match.

Ossivia wasn't going to waste much energy on punishing her students, she was like a most efficient energy saver, standing on the podium and taking out her textbook motionlessly.

"Transfiguration, of all disciplines, is the most rigorous and sophisticated. It is also the discipline that needs creativity the most. It is different from the word-of-mouth of spells, and it is also different from the efficient targeting of Defence Against the Dark Arts. It's very flexible and can only be used by the most imaginative people. ”

Osivia's tone of voice in the class was the same as when she had been on the Moroccan ship, unheaving and lifeless.

"What Transfiguration is, how to use Transfiguration well, every mature wizard has their own answer, and my answer is more inclined to use as many cards as possible.

Last year, Professor Dumbledore must have helped you lay the groundwork, but I've seen your results, and your Transfiguration is too early to be used......

Aglaia elbowed Hoffa again, and said in a low voice: "This teacher who has just graduated is a little self-righteous, how about you show your hand and shock her when the time comes?"

Hoffa didn't say a word, he sat a little farther away, not letting Aglaia elbow him.

To be honest, I didn't want to listen to Osivia's lessons at all. He didn't want to learn her understanding of metamorphosis, and he didn't want to indulge in the beauty of a foreign teacher like some pig Slytherin.

Every second he sat in the class made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

Ossivia continued to lecture from the podium:

"Transfiguration doesn't have a set routine, even everyone's Animagus is different.

According to the map, Suoji is by no means the path that a shapeshifter master should take.

This year, I will teach you how to deform the human body, which is the teaching task assigned to me by the school.

I don't expect each of you to become an Animagus, that's unrealistic, but I hope that this year, each of you will have your own unique way of transfiguring and having the ability to adapt to unexpected events, not just a few bottles and cans to cope with exams. ”

After a pause, Ossivia said:

"In the first lesson, though, I'd like to get a feel for each of you's current level of shapeshifting. so that I can teach in a targeted manner. ”

As soon as these words came out, the bonfires of the cold Siberian wind showed signs of revival.

Many boys below began to wriggle their butts restlessly, who doesn't want to prove their specialness in front of a beautiful teacher?

Osivia: "If one of you can satisfy me with his Transfiguration, I'll promote one of you to be a teaching assistant." ”

The bonfire of youth burned to a height of three meters.

Wow!!

At this moment, more than twenty arms pointed straight to the sky.

"Hoffa, Hoffa......"

Aglaia excitedly began to poke Hoffa again.

Hoffa sat a little farther away from her, but she sat down closer without reluctance.

"What!?"

Hoffa whispered irritation.

"you, isn't that what you're best at?"

Aglai was anxious.

"I don't understand anything, don't call me. ”

Hoffa said coldly.

Aglaia's eyes widened and she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you, weren't you very positive when Dumbledore was in class?"

"Maybe it's because I'm shy when I see a beautiful teacher. ”

Miranda teased quietly.

"You, shut up, mouth. ”

Hoffa glared at her.

Miranda was slightly stunned, "Just kidding." ”

Ossivia tapped his finger on the table: "Quiet." ”

Two of Hoffa's friends shut up, and the students below raised their hands flushed and pursed their lips, like a group of concubines waiting for the emperor to flop.

Malfoy almost got to his chair.

Ossivia glanced around, "Malfoy." ”

"Liquid!!"

Malfoy clenched his fists and jumped onto the podium in two steps.

"How has it changed, what has changed?" he asked urgently.

Osiva took a piece of cardboard, a quill, and said without looking up, "Show the changes you do best."

Malfoy's fingers trembled as he picked up a piece of chalk and turned it into a rose as if offering a treasure, and he smiled coquettishly, took a step forward, pressed his lower abdomen with one hand, and bowed with an impeccable aristocratic salute.

This action caused suppressed boos from the boys and a sudden commotion from the girls.

Osvia, who was recording, raised his eyelids: "Meaningless, worthless deformation, the level of an average first-year graduate." ”

Malfoy's red face quickly became stunned, and the snickering of the others in the audience made his face gloomy and unable to get off the stage.

"Why, it doesn't matter, Miss Romanoff. ”

He deliberately accentuated the tone of the young lady in English.

"Slytherin deducts ten. She said lightly: "Call me Professor." ”

"You're .....!" Malfoy, who came to power, was completely upset.

Ossivia put down the quill: "The essence of transformation is understanding, and if you can't really understand the essence of a thing, the appearance of change is only in vain." Mr. Malfoy, your roses are missing thorns. ”

Malfoy straightened up, his face grim, he threw the rose to the ground, glanced at it, snorted coldly, and strode off the podium with his robe.

Ossivia looked around and said, "This year, my course will focus on human transformation, and I don't need to show those simple object transformations. ”

After a pause, she asked, "The human body is deformed, will anyone?"

Everyone's hands were retracted, and the bonfire of youth was completely extinguished.

Ossivia saw that no one had raised his hand, so he calmly turned the page.

"Then I'll start the roll call based on last semester's rankings, Aglaia Drazes. ”

Aglaia stood up.

"Can you deform your body?" asked Ossivia directly.

Aglaia shook her head with a reluctant face.

Hoffa tapped his finger on the table, not saying a word, because Aglaia was behind him on the Transfiguration class transcript, and he didn't want to interact with the "new teacher" at all.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle. ”

Then, Ossivia then called out Tom in third place and jumped over him, and Hoffa breathed a sigh of relief.

......

......

Finally, an hour later, a depressing, grotesque metamorphosis class ended. The crowd stood up with mixed emotions and left in unison.

Malfoy of Slytherin kicked the door open.

Hoffa lowered his head and blended into the crowd and walked out quickly.

However, as soon as he reached the door, a cold shout came from behind him.

"Hoffa Bach, please wait a minute. ”

At the call of the Transfiguration teacher, all the students turned their heads sideways at Hoffa. It was strange for them that Hoffa, who had the best grades in the Transfiguration class, didn't make any sound for the entire class.

Miranda and Aglaia were stunned, curiously looking between Hoffa and the new Transfiguration teacher.

Hoffa stood still, took a deep breath, clenched his fists and released them. Then he gently said to his two friends, "You go out first, and I'll come over in a moment." ”

Aglaia: "Good...... All right. ”

Miranda glanced at the Transfiguration teacher, and then at the smiling Hoffa: "Interesting." ”

Then, she dragged Aglaia, who was puzzled, out of the classroom.

When the classroom was empty, Hoffa let out a breath, turned around, and asked with a cold expression, "What are you doing?"

Ossivia waved his wand, and the classroom slammed shut.

"Summer vacation, you don't say hello to me, just leave without permission......"

"Can you not mention the summer vacation? Hoffa said calmly, "Now that you are a teacher and I am a student, what do you command?"

After a moment of silence.

Ossivia stepped down from the podium: "I need your help with something. ”

"Can I stay in my dorm room? ”

Hoffa nodded.

"It's not. ”

Ossivia ignored the spikes in Holmes' tone and said, "I've heard Dumbledore talk about you, and I've seen your results last year, and your results are excellent......

"If you have something to say, please speak up. ”

"I'd like you to be my assistant teacher in Transfiguration. ”

Hoffa raised an eyebrow: "Me?"

"Hmm. ”

"May you take the liberty of asking why?"

"Every teacher has their own extra assignment this year, and my mission is to help Hogwarts and the British Ministry of Magic find the Forbidden Libraries. I hope you can help me in this matter. ”

Libraries, libraries again.

Hoffa smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said softly, "Please be smart." ”

With that, he bent over and strode back.

Ossivia put an arm on Lehoffa's shoulder and grabbed him.

Hoffa shook it away, drew his wand, and whispered, "What do you want to do?"

"I need your help, if you have any opinions, you can speak up. Ossivia said sincerely.

"Opinions?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then I'll ask you again, what are you looking for. ”

"Forbidden Library. ”

"Hmph. Hoffa sneered and spread his hands a little sadly: "Professor Romanoff, I think you are lying. ”

"Nope. ”

"No, what's that?"

Hoffa held out his hand.

Ossivia turned her head, the corners of her eyes twitching.

Hoffa stepped forward and pulled out an old newspaper from her satchel bit by bit and placed it in front of her eyes.

"You're crazy, how long has this newspaper been around? 4 months!"

Ossivia finally shut up.

Hoffa sighed:

"You haven't changed at all, Professor, and you've disguised your anger and hatred with a cold exterior and attitude.

What you want is revenge, not to find a library, not to find a mission, you just want to find the real murderer of your father, right?"
