Daily Prophet

The Centaur King incident continued to ferment, and 12 school trustees voted 9 to 2, with one abstention. The Minister for Magic, Leonard Spencer Muen, enacted Education Act 14, and Hogwarts will be permanently closed at the end of this month.

Aglaia: "On January 27th, the Daily Prophet's Minister for Magic, Leonard Spencer Munn, personally led the Aurors to Hogwarts to oversee the evacuation of Hogwarts students......"

Syllable.....!

The newspaper in front of him was snatched away and thrown into the trash can next to the hospital bed. Behind the newspaper was a stunned girl's face, with blue eyes and silver hair.

"What are you doing? ”

Aglaia, who was reading the newspaper, said angrily that she was still reading the newspaper.

"I'm begging you, will you die if you are quiet for a minute?" said Hoffa, who was on the hospital bed, limply.

Sixty seconds passed without a sound.

Aglaia lay down beside Hoffa's bed again and said, "When the minute is up, tell me the story of that night, I'm mad." ”

"You're crazy, I'm going crazy. ”

Hoffa covered his head with a quilt and said sadly, "You, like Miranda, can't you stay in the common room honestly?" ”

"No way!"

Aglaia pushed Hoffa hard.

"Hoffa, the school is going to close the day after tomorrow, everyone is trying to figure out a way, but you are hiding in the ward alone. No one wants to see you, what is your situation?"

"It's okay, can you wait until my arm is good and then we can discuss it?" Hoffa rolled over, his back to Aglaia.

"Merlin's beard, your arm is already healed. Aglaia pointed pointedly, "You have to pack your bags, what are you going to do when you go out? Do you want to come to St. Mungo's Hospital......

"No, you've said it a hundred times. ”

"Why are you so ignorant, Hoffa. ”

Aglaia clasped her arms angrily, "Don't you know I'm helping you?"

"One day. ”

Hoffa sighed.

"If you want to help me, be quiet for a day, don't come to me for a day, and talk about it tomorrow. ”

"One day, you said that yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday!"

"Hmm. ”

Seeing Hoffa plugging his ears with his fingers, Aglaia pursed her mouth and kicked away the visitor's chair.

"Laziness!"

"Well, I'm lazy, you go out. Hoffa said.

"Okay, one day is it, ten days is not good, a hundred days is okay, you just rot here, really I care about you.......?

She huffed out the door.

Bang!!

The gate slammed shut.

......

......

Everything was finally quiet, and pins could be heard in the empty hospital room. Hoffa sat up from the bed and rubbed his hair.

The bedside table was stocked with its own wand, a pile of snacks, and newspapers.

The newspaper was brought to him by Miranda, and the snacks were brought to him by Aglaia.

But he didn't want to touch any of these three things.

He has neither an appetite nor any new information**. I don't want to go into meaningless battles anymore.

He let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed his face, and began to be in a daze.

The clock on the wall ticked, and at this moment, a month had passed since that crazy Christmas Eve.

Compared with a month ago, Hoffa has lost ten pounds. His face was pale and his hair was unkempt.

In the past month, there have been explosive news every day, and shocking news every day. But all this was so pale to Hoffa that he couldn't stop it from happening.

Due to the departure of the school doctor, the entire school hospital was captured by the Aurors, and the Potions teacher left the school for meetings.

Hoffa, who had suffered a shoulder injury, lay in the hospital for a whole month, waiting for the wound to heal like a normal Muggle.

Fortunately, he knew a little medical knowledge, plus there was a constant repair of the activated state, so that the wound did not worsen.

But the wound outside the body did not cause Hoffa pain at all.

What really hurts him is confusion and loss of purpose, which is more terrible than any ** injury. He felt like he had fallen into a swamp, and the more he moved, the deeper he sank. The more you struggle, the faster your destruction accelerates.

Like a ghost floating in a vacuum, all senses are unconscious. Only the occasional tingling from the wound on his left shoulder reminded him that life had to go on.

He forcibly grabbed the newspaper, just glanced at it, and threw it away in disgust and annoyance, and got into the quilt.

The school was about to close the day after tomorrow, and he had lost all clues.

Maybe he shouldn't have bothered with all this at all, he should have left Hogwarts and gone to America to find Joey, find Indor, and get a job over there. Maybe he should go out and explore the secret realm every day meaninglessly, and become a prodigal son with treasures stuffed in his pocket and wandering around......

But in the next second, a hand was placed on his shoulder, interrupting his fantasy.

He thought it was Aglaia who had come back to look for him, so he shook his shoulders and said angrily, "Don't bother me, come back tomorrow." ”

But the owner of the hand whispered: "Tomorrow is a very dangerous word, Bach." ”

It wasn't Aglaia, Hoffa was startled, sat up at once, and looked back.

Standing next to the bed was a tall man, wearing half-moon glasses and a russet beard, Albus Dumbledore did not know when he had entered his room.

"Professor Dumbledore, there's... Is there something wrong?"

"I'm the director of Ravenclaw House for the time being, and I'm coming to see the injured students. Can't you?"

Dumbledore sat down beside Hoffa's bed.

"How do you feel?"

"It's ok. Hoffa said dryly.

"Really, you're as thin as my brother's goat, and he goes out drinking a lot, and he's drunk for many days, so that the goats don't have anything to eat. ”

Dumbledore's quip made the corners of Hoffa's mouth twitch, and he asked in a low voice, "Professor, is the school really going to be closed?"

"Probably, the Ministry of Magic's approval from yesterday has arrived, and all the students will be leaving the school at the end of the month. I convinced the people at the Wizengamot not to implicate the students, and they believed me. ”

Dumbledore said lightly, "However, the taxpayers will not allow a school under the headmaster of a war criminal, and no school can continue to operate under such a crisis of confidence." ”

His calm words made Hoffa's mouth a little bitter, as if he had eaten a dozen bitter gourd skins.

After a moment of silence, Hoffa couldn't help but ask:

"Do you think so, too? Do you also think that Headmaster Duper is a half-king?"

"You want to hear the truth?"

Dumbledore asked.

"Of course. ”

"I don't think so. ”

Dumbledore shook his head: "I have worked with Armando for more than twenty years, he may be pedantic and rigid, maybe not humble enough, some arrogant and arrogant, but he has never done anything bad for the school, the school is everything to him. ”

Hoffa's eyes widened.

Dumbledore paused and sighed:

"But in the face of conclusive evidence, my language is pale, and he secretly researches construction techniques and conducts human modification experiments in private. Unless the real reason is found, he will inevitably be imprisoned in Azkaban until he is drained by the Dementors. ”

After a pause, Dumbledore asked, "Hoffa, I want to know what you think. ”

Hoffa said weakly: "Why do you ask me, I have done everything I can." ”

"Because you're a Ravenclaw, and Ravenclaw always has a level of intelligence that ordinary people can't match, don't you?"

"Ravenclaw?Unattainable Wisdom ......"

Hoffa smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't understand, I don't understand at all. ”

Dumbledore: "Don't understand what?"

"Why am I in Ravenclaw? Look at me, I look like a man of great wisdom in Ravenclaw?"

Hoffa muttered to himself, "I'm supposed to be in Gryffindor, isn't it, everybody thinks I'm Gryffindor." ”

Dumbledore was silent, he squeezed out a few forehead lines and looked at Hoffa.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree with you. ”

"What. ”

Do you remember when I was alone with you last year?

"An orphanage?"

"Hospital, you and Joey were injured that time. That's how we face each other. ”

"So what. ”

"At first, I wondered why you weren't a Gryffindor, because you looked so similar.

But when I said that the school was going to expel Joey, you said, I can't judge the cause by the results. That's when I knew Ravenclaw was a better fit for you than Gryffindor.

Hoffa, you have the potential to be truly Ravenclaw, the potential that Gryffindor can't have, IMHO, and that is justice, and you should trust yourself. ”

"What's the use of justice?"

Hoffa's voice was inaudible.

"My intention was to make life safer for my friends around me, and I wanted to protect others. But at the end of the day, I can't change anything, so how can I have the wisdom of Ravenclaw?

"Ahh ”

Dumbledore interrupted Hoffa with a sigh, and he leaned back in his chair with a look of remembrance, "Ravenclaw's wisdom. By the way, what do you think wisdom is? ”

"Powerful, intelligent, strategic, able to see through all the fog. ”

Hoffa said without hesitation.

"Hahahaha~"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He laughed as he lifted his glasses and rubbed his eyelids. That expression made Hoffa stunned.

"Hofa, Hofa, you're saying it's a job, a kind of work of a Muggle scientist or a military advisor, it's not wisdom, it's just a little better than the average person. ”

"Isn't it wisdom to have a good brain?"

Hoffa couldn't understand it.

Dumbledore shook his head: "Do you think King Arthur was smart, or do you think Napoleon was smart?"

Hoffa's eyes widened, "Isn't it?"

Dumbledore tapped Hoffa's chest with his slender fingers, and his voice was inaudible:

"Don't be deceived by appearances, wisdom is a precipitation, a kind of torture, a kind of responsibility. Most importantly, however, wisdom is a choice. ”

Many people, they see the darkness and they succumb to it.

They live in darkness, and when they get benefits, they become complacent, and when they get power, they want to do whatever they want, and they even call their means to their ends wisdom.

But that's not wisdom, that's stupidity, it's the ceiling of life.

A truly intelligent man. It's not about how much money, how much fame, how much power, or how much magic power you have.

The true wise man sees the darkness and chooses the light, even if the light is as faint as fireflies.

That kind of person is worthy of people to follow. A person who is needed by others, loved by others, and able to unite others is a true wise man. ”

Hoffa looked at Dumbledore's finger pointing at his heart, and then at the clear blue eyes under the clear lenses, and for a moment he couldn't say a word.

Dumbledore took Hoffa's hand and placed a hard object in his palm, "I think maybe you can do better." ”
