34, Library Secrets

"You just want to find the real culprit who killed your father through this mission, don't you?"

When Hoffa asked this, Ossivia fell silent for a long time.

In the empty classroom, she stared at the old newspaper for a long time. Then, she reached down and pulled down the newspaper, folded it, and stuffed it into her bag:

"You don't know what's going on. ”

"Isn't it?"

"Yes. Ossivia said calmly, not too ashamed.

"That's your own business. Hoffa shrugged.

"Your family is dead, and you go for revenge, it's right, but that has nothing to do with me. ”

"I need a teaching assistant, Dumbledore recommended you to me. Ossivia looked at Hoffa's shoulder and said:

"I also think it's easier to trust you than to trust other people. ”

"I don't trust you, Professor Romanoff. Hoffa said coldly.

"I think you're like an unstable ticking time bomb that doesn't really care if people live or die, and besides, you've never told me the truth. ”

With that, Hoffa turned to leave.

Osivia raised his voice: "I promise, I don't need you to help me do any dangerous work, I just don't want any other students to become teaching assistants and know the inside scoop of my work." ”

Her words made Hoffa laugh angrily, and he jerked around and held up a finger.

"Have you ever asked me what I think, since the day you first met me on the summer vacation?"

"You say. Ossivia stepped back.

Hoffa said, "You know, I won't help you find any forbidden libraries or hide any ulterior secrets, I don't care.

I don't care about the supreme treasure, the supreme power. I hate death, it's as simple as that. ”

With that, Hoffa turned and strode to the door.

This time, Osiva Romanov did not stop him.

She stood still, motionless.

Bang!

Hoffa pushed the door open.

Two figures huddled by the wall jumped backwards.

The enraged Hoffa was startled, and Aglaia and Miranda actually put their ears to the door and eavesdropped!

After the fright, Hoffa became even angrier.

"You two are sick!?"

Hoffa gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, and strode forward.

Miranda and Aglaia smiled at each other and chased after each other.

Miranda teased, "I thought the beautiful teacher was looking for you for something! ”

Aglaia excitedly spun around Hoffa, from front to back, back to front, like a spinning top, like a dog looking for a tail.

"Wow, what's the big secret of the school? What's that...... What is that, Miranda, have you heard of it?"

Miranda shook her head: "I know that Hogwarts has a library, and the library has a forbidden book section, but I never know what a forbidden library. ”

"Speak, speak! ”

Aglaia turned to Hoffa again and walked backwards.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”

Hoffa pushed Aglaia, who was walking backwards, aside and quickened his pace.

Aglaia, who was pushed away, was not angry at all, her eyes were full of curiosity, and she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.

"Wow, what an inside story of work, an ulterior secret, a supreme treasure, and endless power. ”

Hoffa turned and walked up the stairs, trying to shake off the annoying spinning top from the other side.

But Aglaia ran in front of Hoffa again, and began to ascend the stairs upside down, and as if she had eyes behind her, she could always get around the crowd with precision, and she almost pleaded:

"Oh, you see I've never begged you, this time I'll beg you once, and you can tell me what the forbidden art library is, okay?"

Hofa turned irritably, grabbed her by the collar and pressed her down the stairs, and said sternly, "Don't dangle in front of me, I don't know!"

Also, this matter has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with us, you don't want to get involved in this kind of thing casually, it's very dangerous!"

"How dangerous is it?"

Aglaia not only did not flinch, but became more curious.

"You don't understand people?"

Hoffa glared at her fiercely, let go of his hand, and walked up to the sixth floor.

Aglaia continued to chase, but Miranda held her back. She shook her head, motioning for Aglaia to stop asking.

Aglaia stomped her foot a little unwillingly. Holding your arms and sulking.

When she reached the common room, she waved her fist menacingly behind Hoffa and whispered:

"If you don't tell me I'll find out, bastard!"

......

......

Time passed, and the first month of Hofa's second year was soon over.

The weather is starting to turn from warm to cool, late autumn in Scotland is on schedule, and the castle is starting to rain endlessly. The edge of the hunting ground was muddy, and in the distance Hoffa could see a large number of Aurors, patrolling the Forbidden Forest, rain or shine.

Within the school.

Teaching assistants for each teacher have been selected.

But Tom Riddle was still at the center of the conversation, and there were no students in the entire second year who could match him. He was in the limelight for a while.

Originally, Hoffa thought that Miranda could become a second second-year teaching assistant, but this was not the case.

Dumbledore didn't choose Miranda as his assistant coach, although Miranda calmly supported herself with a shield charm for a full minute, under the flames of the steel armor.

Dumbledore, however, chose a seventh-year Hufflepuff as his assistant.

Aglaia, she didn't become a teaching assistant either, or rather, her interest was completely diverted from teaching assistants. She was now preoccupied with the so-called forbidden library, and in her words, a wizard who didn't want to learn magic was not a good wizard.

Hoffa didn't care what she was doing, he had spent most of his time studying for a month, especially on spells.

For some reason, the other students around him were able to release the shield spell in a good way, but Hoffa couldn't release the spell.

Aglaia said that Hoffa was not attentive enough, and that he had been wild during the summer vacation, and now he was reduced to a third-rate student and was no longer her opponent.

Miranda, on the other hand, thinks that Hoffa's pressure is not strong enough and he lacks a clear goal, so he can't use the spell.

......

......

On the evening of October 15th.

Hoffa is working on his Charms homework in the common room, mostly working on the Shield Charm.

Miranda was lying on her side flipping through a 1938 edition of the Superman comic, not knowing where she had gotten it from, giggling as she flipped it back.

At this time, the door of the common room suddenly opened. Two second-grade boys walked in with a half-meter-long book.

"Let it go...... Where to put it?" the boy asked breathlessly.

"Put it there, on that table, see it, yes, yes, yes. ”

Aglaia followed them, commanding them.

Bang!

The two boys put the big thick book in front of Hoffa.

The table shook, and the inkwell on Hoffa's desk almost knocked over by the book.

"Is there anything else you can help with?" the boy asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're so nice. Aglaia waved her hand indifferently.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The two boys rubbed their hands together and left with a happy expression.

"What is this?"

Hoffa looked up in shock and looked at the big brick book.

Aglaia sat down, crossed her arms and said proudly, "Hmph, Hogwarts, a piece of school history, the oldest version, the most complete version, the rarest version, and the handwritten version." ”

Miranda straightened up and exclaimed, "Oh my God, where did you get this antique?"

"I asked Slughorn for an autograph to borrow it from the forbidden area!"

"Just looking for a library?"

Hoffa couldn't believe it, he really didn't see Aglaia alone with him this month.

"Yes, none of the other history books mention the Forbidden Arts Library, but guess what I found in this book. ”

With irrepressible pride in her tone, she turned the page.

The pages were rotten to pieces. Not only that, but the further back you turn, the more broken the pages become. By the time she reached the last few pages, Aglaia had to put her fingers back and forth to make a whole page.

"Listen up. She tipped her fingers across the pages.

"When Hogwarts was founded, more than a hundred years ago, (a hundred is written here, but when this book was written, it was more than a thousand years ago, Aglaia said)

It was the most chaotic time for the wizarding world in Europe, and in that era, in order to win the wizarding war, all kinds of brilliant talents and wizards were produced, and all kinds of dangerous and terrifying evil spells were also emerging.

Later, the war ended. Three major magic schools were founded.

For the sake of peace in the wizarding world of Europe, at the first Goblet of Fire tournament, the founders of the three major schools of magic came together with the intention of burning all the extremely dangerous ancient forbidden spells used in wartime.

However, as a sorcerer, the pain of burning knowledge can be imagined. After burning most of the dangerous forbidden arts, fierce disputes broke out among the wizard leaders of the various schools.

Some insist on destroying them all, while others think that they should not be destroyed completely, because shamans who blaspheme knowledge will not end well.

Eventually, the original Headmaster of Hogwarts proposed to build the safest library somewhere in Europe and seal the ancient forbidden arts.

Never, never, could never allow any wizard to find a safe place, and his proposal was approved by others.

Later, after the library was built, one of the four Hogwarts giants, Ronald Ravenclaw, made a key to the library.

And divided it into three parts, which were handed over to the first principals of the three schools.

Headmaster of Hogwarts

Headmaster of Beauxbatons

Principal of Durmstrang

The principals of the three magic schools jointly keep the secret of this library and make an unbreakable oath that no one will divulge the secret.

At this point, peace was restored to the world. ”

With that, she looked at Hoffa and Miranda excitedly.

"Well, this forbidden library is real. ”

Miranda: "Uh...... What a happy ending. Sound...... It's like a children's bedtime story, it's not real at all. ”

Hoffa just glared at her, "And then?"

"And then ......?"

Aglaia was incredulous, she leaned her head and lowered her voice: "There is a hidden library in Europe, and there is an endless amount of knowledge in the library. Oh my god, we're going to have to find it!"

"If it does, why would we find it? Miranda said worriedly.

"Please, you're still not a wizard? Do you know what endless knowledge means?"

Aglaia's eyes flashed with frenzy.

Hoffa had seen this kind of demeanor several times, and she had seen it when she saw the centaur writing in the Forbidden Forest.

"Infinite knowledge, endless power, we can do whatever we want. Aglaia said.

"Do whatever you want, what do you want?" asked Hoffa coldly.

"Listen, if we find this library. We're sure we'll find many, many powerful spells, and maybe if we learn one of them, we'll be able to get that Malfoy on his knees in front of us and call us Daddy! We can even defeat that cursed Tom Riddle without much effort. ”

She blushed with excitement as she spoke. It was as if I saw this scene happening in front of my eyes.

But after she finished speaking, Miranda looked at her worriedly, "That's why you're looking for a library?"

"Huh?"

Aglaia restrained her excitement and closed the book with some unhappiness, "What about that?"

After she finished coldly, she bumped Hoffa on the shoulder again: "What do you think? Hofa, how about we go find the library." ”

Hoffa didn't care about Aglaia's simple and evil appeals.

He thought for a moment.

"What to find, the records make it clear that this library requires three keys to open. We didn't have the keys, and we didn't know where the library was. After all, your statements are just fantasies. ”

Aglaia thought for a moment, and then had an idea: "We can go and ask that new beautiful teacher, didn't she tell you a lot about the library, and she asked you to be a teaching assistant." You just promise her that you will sacrifice your ego a little bit and set a little ......"

"Enough!"

Hoffa slammed the big book in front of her away, and said with some annoyance: "You're only 12 years old, what do you know, don't mess around, okay!?"

"Hey, why are you so timid?"

Aglaia took Hoffa's hand away from the thick book and stood up angrily: "What about your passion last year? Do you know how long I've been looking for this book?"

Hoffa: "What passion did I have last year!?"

Miranda quickly stood up: "Aglaia......"

"You too!"

She interrupted Miranda violently.

Then, rubbing her hair in pain, she stomped her foot, "You've all changed, you've all changed!

After speaking, she picked up the big thick book and ran into the dormitory angrily without looking back.

The flames in the fireplace crackled, and as he watched Aglaia's back disappear, Hoffa shook his head and let out a sigh of relief. This goods, if you don't find something for yourself, you will feel uncomfortable all over the world.

Miranda suddenly turned around and asked Hoffa, "Why wasn't she sorted out in Gryffindor?"
