26, the storm is coming
Indor tugged at Hoffa's robes, the faint flames in the tavern fireplace crackled, and the shadows on the walls swayed in an eerie pattern, and the two were at an impasse for a moment.
At last, Indor let go of his hand and said sadly:
"In that case, then you can go, just because I didn't know you as a friend. ”
"What do you mean by that?" asked Hoffa, squinting.
"You see yourself more than anything else, do you know what the situation is out there......"
"Don't give me a big hat. Hoffa was upset, "You can't talk to any student in their right mind, okay?" Also, if you really want to go to school, why don't you find some senior students, don't you still say that you have some former partners.......
"Dead, all dead!" Indor, waving his hand irritably.
"You're the only Hogwarts student I know, and the others are dead. ”
Hoffa was startled.
"Are you so obscure?"
"Okay, would you like to help me meet Dippert and give me the letter. Indor began to move around the room irritably.
"I'm not trying to help you think!?"
Hoffa scolded back loudly and angrily: "If I really leave, I'm already gone, can't you change the way of both?
"And what can you do?" said Indor, who stopped spinning and looked at Hoffa sadly.
"First of all, take you to see Dipet, that's impossible, it's beyond my strength, you die of this heart. ”
"And then ......?"
Hoffa took a deep breath: "But I can take you to the secret passage, enter the school, and find the principal for these things yourself, and don't involve me as a first-year student." ”
Indor was overjoyed: "As long as I can enter Hogwarts, I will not say a word about you, I can make an unbreakable vow......."
"Stop, stop!" Hoffa interrupted the goblin with a raised hand, "I don't need any bullshit oaths, but you can't go in like this." ”
Indor glanced herself up and down, "Why am I like this...... By the way, should I change my uniform?"
"Are you stupid? since you can't contact Hogwarts, it means that someone must be sabotaging it, and you swagger in like this, aren't you afraid of hostile forces in the shadows?"
Indor's expression suddenly appeared, and he snapped his fingers and turned around.
His body shrank rapidly, transforming into an arm-sized badger.
This badger is black and white, as if it is wearing a suit, and there is a handful of yellow hair with great personality on its head. The most striking is the badger conjured by Indor, with an earring on its ear.
Indort climbed onto the table and said in a shrill voice, "That's fine, no one can tell I'm a goblin." ”
"There are also Animagus among the elves?" Hoffa was surprised.
Indor shook his head: "Some goblins are naturally good at shapeshifting, and a small number of goblins can even turn into plants and minerals, so don't be envious." Hurry up and take me away. ”
"Wait. Hoffa shook his head: "I'm running out of magic now, and when I recover my magic, I'll take you to the secret passage invisibly." ”
Indor happily spun around the table.
"I knew I was right, Hoffa!"
Hoffa didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
To be honest, he really didn't want to mix it up too much.
How strict Hogwarts was in this era, Hoffa knew better than anyone else, and that was no joke.
Newt Scamander.
Rubeus Hagrid.
These excellent and kind students were not expelled for violating the school rules.
The only professor he had a good relationship with was Dumbledore, but the problem was that Dumbledore in this era was not a headmaster at all, not even a headmaster, and his reputation in the wizarding world was not as prominent as it was fifty years later.
Once something goes wrong with him, Dumbledore can't protect himself at all, and probably won't come to protect himself.
But Hoffa still chose to agree to Indor, and the risk opened the door to convenience for him, and there were many factors in this.
But leaving aside the emotional aspect of friendship, Hoffa agreed to Indor for a more important reason.
That is, he doesn't want to show his gray nihilistic tendencies in front of anyone.
For Hoffa, the line between good and evil is blurred. One thought is good, and one thought can be evil. Eastern philosophies taught Hoffa to be modest, conservative, and occasionally somewhat negative. He has always felt that it is enough for people to be themselves.
But the Western world in 1938 was very different from the Eastern world 80 years later.
They play ideology, all sorts of unspeakable things. This state of affairs even lasted until the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
In the bones of these Westerners, they value loyalty, rules and faith.
Is it left or right, what is the last name?
It was more important than their lives. Muggles are like this, wizards are still like this, and no one knows how many diehard fans Dundondo will have in later generations. But each of them is very clear about their position and rarely sways from side to side.
In this era and on this continent, it is especially important to stand in line. Anyone with a little bit of historical knowledge understands it.
Here, Hoffa has to learn to adapt to the environment and learn to stand in line. We must learn to give for others.
......
......
Leaving Hogsmeade still requires invisibility, and with the help of the Mirarepa Walker's meditation, Hoffa's magic is quickly restored.
The consumption of the Illusion Spell is quite staggering.
That little bit of magic was only enough to last for about half an hour.
Hoffa had never overdrawn his mana, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover after overdrawing his mana.
He could only breathe in a constant cycle.
Indor didn't bother Hoffa either, he lay down on the table, and the minutes ticked by.
It was getting dark outside. The streets of Hogsmeade were becoming empty and pedestrians scarce, and the students had long since returned to Hogwarts.
But Hoffa still didn't wake up.
Suddenly, Indor's badger ears stood up, as if he heard something. He immediately changed back to his original form, walked quickly to the curtain, lifted the curtain a small slit, and looked out the window at the black night scene.
Lowering the curtains, he looked at Hoffa again, looking a little anxious as he walked around the room.
At this moment, a trace of smoke slowly spread, and it came from nowhere, and in this way, it gradually began to rise in the streets of Hogsmeade Village.
Slowly permeated the room where Hoffa was.
Because Duo's face changed, he didn't dare to drag it out any longer.
He walked briskly to the bed, shaking Hoffa's shoulder vigorously.
Said anxiously: "Wake up, wake up, Hoffa." ”
Hoffa was woken up by Indor from recovering his mana, and asked with some displeasure, "What are you doing?"
Indor said in a panic, "I didn't tell you, there's a team of German black witches following me, I'm afraid they're here now." ”
Hoffa was shocked: "Dark wizards enter Hogsmeade, are you kidding me, they are not afraid .......?"
At this moment, a trace of milky white smoke drifted in through the crack in the window. Hoffa smelled a faint smell of burning embers. The goblin covered Hoffa's mouth and nose, and whispered with an extremely frightened expression: "Don't breathe yet, water, quickly!"
As he spoke, he tore off two pieces of the sheet and handed them to Hoffa.
With a solemn expression, Hoffa pulled out his wand and lit it.
"Clear water is like a spring. ”
A fountain of clear water gushed down from his wand, and Indor's wet rags stabbed him and Hofa in the face.
Hoffa asked in a deep voice, "How many?"
Indor dragged Hoffa to the window and pulled the curtain open a small slit.
"Three. ”
He whispered, "This mist is the poisonous gas of the poison sac leopard, it can cause deadly neurological diseases, it only takes a little to bring down the whole village, the only weakness is water." ”
His words made Hoffa's heart palpitate.
It's already dark outside.
The dark town had fallen into an eerie silence at the moment.
When he came to the window to look, he saw that the fog outside was filling from the bottom up, and in this thick fog, there were three extremely tall figures walking slowly. They wore pointy black hoods and carried old horse lanterns in their hands.
Two streets in front of the two brooms.
With a glimmer of light, the owl fled, screaming. The post office was shattered by a spell, and rubble flew up.
German: In diesem ort (right here)
German: Dezentrale Finden
Strange language came from the thick fog in the distance, and the voice was cold, mechanical. It sounds like a bot is calling the shots with code.
Hoffa had no idea what these people were talking about, but the only thing he knew was that something was wrong.
There was no reaction from the inhabitants, and there was no sound from below the tavern.
On the street, three figures scattered, one of them slowly walking towards the two broomsticks, and the other two in other directions.
Indor whispered in Hofa's ear, "Schmidt Lautluff." A dangerous dark wizard wanted by the British Ministry of Magic and Grindelwald's right-hand man. Especially good at magical biology, you must not inhale the smoke directly in here. ”
Before Hoffa could speak.
A hooded man stood in front of two broomsticks, and he looked around with a lantern.
Leaning against the crack in the window, Hoffa saw a large red swastika tattooed on the man's arm.
Hoffa's face was expressionless, but in fact, he was restless and flustered.
Indor, the plague star, actually attracted this kind of person here.
Dark wizard, that's no joke. Without diamonds and porcelain work, no one in this world who has no skills will dare to call himself a dark wizard.
These three guys have taken out everyone in Hogsmeade before they can make a move, and their strength is not at all something that a first-year student and a liar goblin can compete with.
"Is there anything you can do about it?" asked Indor, anxiously.
"Can't you phantom shift?" asked Hoffa in a whisper.
"No, the illusion shifting magic fluctuations are too obvious, and the three of them will definitely notice it. Indor whispered. When I came, I came by boat, and I didn't dare to phanturize. Because they will follow the fluctuations of magic, and once they are discovered, you will not be able to escape. ”
Looking at the tall man who was getting closer and closer, Hoffa gritted his teeth and said, "It's not okay to stay like this, the secret passage is in Duke Honey, we must rush to Duke Honey." ”
