56, change

"I think you can be a better person. ”

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he winked at Hoffa, turned and walked out the door.

Seeing Dumbledore's figure disappear behind the door, Hoffa looked at his palm.

It's the lost Ravenclaw commemorative coin.

On the obverse of the coin is the head of Ronald Ravenclaw, wearing a crown and holding a scale.

Seems to want to say something to Hoffa.

On the back is engraved a row of Latin inscriptions: Reperio lux in tenebris

Look for the light under the darkness.

He'd read the typography countless times.

Huo ** looked at the coin in a daze, what details were ignored by him.

He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of an answer.

I had to look out the window.

At this time, night falls, and a full moon hangs high in the sky.

In the dark night sky, the full moon was so bright that it shone brightly in the darkness, as if silently reminding Hoffa.

Hoffa straightened up from his hospital bed.

Looking for light under the darkness, Hoffa looked up at the moon.

Every adventure I have had this year, I seem to be able to see this bright moon, the light under the darkness, is it ...... to let myself go to the moon?

He sat back on the hospital bed a little dejected, but the next second, his eyes were focused on the distance, his brow furrowed, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Wait a minute...... Light under the darkness?

He stood up and walked to the windowsill of the ward.

In his sight, on the huge black lake on the edge of the hunting ground in the distance, a bright moon was also reflected.

Staring at the moon on the lake for a moment, all the clues running through his brain like lightning.

Light under darkness.

He looked at the coin in his hand in disbelief.

Raising his head sharply, he muttered, "I see, I see." ”

He picked up his wand from the bedside table.

A completely unspeakable force began to emerge from the hundreds of bones in his body, he didn't quite know what it was, but he could clearly feel the void in his brain gradually dissipating.

That's right, my goal has not been accomplished.

Now is not the time to rest.

He quickly unfastened the bandage on his shoulder.

He then changed into his school robe, which had been tattered from many battles, and tucked his wand back into his waist.

Then, he strode out the door.

Passing through the hall, at this moment, the school crowd took on a polarized state, with restless students on one side, dragging suitcases around and arguing.

On the other side, it was uncharacteristically quiet, they looked at the newspaper, and they were as quiet and numb as dead corpses.

Perhaps the school's fate has been sealed since the moment Armando Duppet was found guilty.

They just sat in their respective places, neither leaving nor discussing.

In the middle of the chaotic Great Hall, the Hogwarts Orb had vanished without a trace, and perhaps the Headmasters had abandoned the useless furnishings after discovering that even the artifacts of the Four Founders could not save the school from doom.

But none of this is Hoffa's focus for the time being.

With the help of the Magic Staircase, he hurried back to the Ravenclaw common room, which was no longer closed after the arrest of Armando Dupet.

Although the common room has been renovated, the Ravenclaw statue has been re-erected, and the fireplace has been rekindled, the students inside are gloomy.

Miranda crossed her arms and was talking to Aglaia in the corner about something.

Hoffa walked over quickly and pressed Aglaia's shoulder: "Bracelet, did the bracelet school give it back to you?"

Aglaia was startled, and the slasher struck him.

"Who!?"

Hofa grabbed her wrist quickly, and her eyes widened when she saw who was coming.

"...... Hoffa?"

The sadness on Miranda's face gradually dissipated, and her lips rose slightly: "You're finally willing to come out." ”

"I figured it out, it's not over yet. Hoffa said.

"Aglaia, did the school give you back your bracelet?"

"How do you know?" said Aglaia, "for today." ”

"Quick, bring it to me. Hoffa said.

"What's the matter, do you know something?"

Aglaia grabbed Hoffa and said in a hurry, "Tell me quickly." ”

"There's no time, hurry up and bring it to me, and when I get back, I'll have time to explain to you. ”

"Oops!"

Aglaia stomped her feet, but still ran briskly towards the spiral staircase.

Hoffa turned his head and whispered, "Miranda, the half-king is still in this school, I don't know what he wants to do, but it's clear that his purpose is not ....... pure"

"Have you found the answer?" Miranda asked directly, looking very calm.

"It's close, but it's close. ”

"Okay, what should I do?"

"You take Aglaia to Dumbledore and ask him to protect you, and if you can, it's best to leave the school as soon as possible with the other students, and I'll go find the last key. ”

At that moment, Aglaia descended the stairs and handed the bracelet with the ancient shape to Hoffa.

He took the bracelet, patted Miranda on the shoulder, and quickly rushed out of the common room and downstairs.

......

......

In the dark basement, drops of water fall in a pool. It makes a very regular ticking sound.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Ossivia looked at the green lake outside the window, like a soulless sculpture.

She remained in this position for an unknown amount of time. At her side, there was an old newspaper and a silver plate that had never been touched.

An old man with gray hair slowly walked out of the darkness with a dinner plate. He put down his plate and slowly walked over to the girl and sat down.

"Miss, the verdict has come down. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ossivia replied motionlessly.

"Don't you want to change anything? ”

The old man said worriedly.

"I don't want to. ”

"Well, watch your diet, you haven't eaten in days. ”

The old man sighed weakly and placed the plate beside her. With that, he turned to leave.

After taking two steps, he hesitated for a moment, then walked back and took out a golden crown from his chest and placed it in front of Osivia.

"By the way, Albus Dumbledot, I'll give you this back. ”

Ossivia glanced at the golden ring, shook her head, and whispered, "I've had enough, Moros. ”

The old man paused with his fingers on the golden crown, but still pushed the golden crown in front of her: "If you don't like it, destroy it." I have no right to dispose of it. ”

Ossivia remained motionless and did not answer.

The gray-haired old man whispered, "Come back to the Soviet Union with me as soon as possible, miss." This is not your home, your life does not belong here, it does not belong to this school......."

Knock knock.

At this time, there was a faint knock on the door, and the old man looked at it: "Someone is coming." ”

"Nope. ”

Ossivia said.

Knock knock.

The knock on the door was a little louder, and the old man hesitated for a moment: "When are you going to leave?"

"I left with this school. ”

"I respect your choice. ”

The old man sighed and got up to clean up his old plate.

The knock on the door rang for a few more moments, then vanished.

......

......

Hoffa stood in the basement doorway to Osivia's office, frowning at the door that had not been opened for a long time. He had a conjecture, but that conjecture had to put the three keys together.

He hesitated for about 0.5 seconds.

Hoffa drew his wand and pointed to the door: "Alaho Cave open!"

Bang!

The deadbolt burst open.

Hoffa slammed the door open and went straight into the office.

Before he could take two steps, a strong arm grabbed Hoffa,

He jerked to the side, only to find that he had been caught by an old man with a gray beard dressed as an Auror, dressed meticulously in a neat wizard's robe, whom Hoffa had seen once when he had captured Dippet.

The white-haired old man asked with an unkind face, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to see Osivia. ”

"She doesn't want to see people. ”

Hoffa didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and the ghost wandered straight away.

But in the next second, the scene in front of him quickly changed. The corridor rotated, transformed, and reorganized like a mirror, and the side of the staircase became a wall, and the wall became a fork, and the fork rotated three hundred and sixty degrees on its head.

He had to quit the ghost walk, and at this moment, the whole world was changing colors and his eyes were almost glazed.

It's magic of the illusion system.

Hoffa turned his head and saw the white-haired old man hanging upside down on the swirling ceiling. Holding his wand, he looked at himself with a gloomy expression.

With no time to waste, Hoffa closed his eyes and shouted:

"Osivia, you can hide here, no one will be seen. But you can't escape your mistakes, and we still have work to do. When you're done, it doesn't matter how you want to escape......"

The tall old man's eyes widened in anger, he blew his beard and glared, and raised his wand.

"I said, Miss doesn't want to see you!!"

Ignoring this, Hoffa continued:

"Do you think that's the end of it? Do you think you've wounded me, destroyed this school, and can just shake your hands and swagger back to the Soviet Union, like a hibernating Siberian snake? This is what you call fate, and this is the result of all these years you have spent so much?"

The old man thrust his wand into his trouser pocket, leaped down from the ceiling, and stood directly in front of Hoffa, holding his throat in a void.

"Who are you, old fellow?"

Hoffa said angrily.

"I'm the housekeeper of the Romanov family, and I took care of the young lady when she was born, where did you come from?"

"...... me?"

Hoffa frowned at the old man, his hand clutching his throat as if it were made of foam, without a trace of strength.

But he threatened loudly: "Believe it or not, I'll kill you directly?"

Hofa gradually understood, he raised an eyebrow, and screamed in cooperation.

"Uhh

Sure enough, as soon as he shouted, the rotating Wanhua Mirror in front of him slowly separated, and the illusion disappeared. Osivia's slender body slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Let him go, Moros. It's my business with him. She whispered.

The old man immediately "hated" and let go of Hoffa's throat.

Hofa clutched his throat and coughed hoarsely and said, "You still have a housekeeper, and you brought it to school, it's really a privilege." ”

The old man glared at Hoffa angrily: "Hey, stinky boy, what privileges are not privileged, I am in charge of guarding the Forbidden Forest, don't speak so ugly." ”

"Moros, get out. ”

"Hmm. ”

The old man gave Hofa an embarrassed look, and Hofa shook his head disdainfully at the old man.

With a slamming door.

In the dark room, only Hoffa and Ossivia were left.

"There's nothing to say, it's all over. ”

She looked over Hoffa's shoulder and said. "I'm tired. ”

Hoffa quickly walked over to her eyes, golden eyes looking at green eyes.

"You've just exhausted the power of hatred, Osivia, don't you understand? Hatred doesn't give you great power, it only makes you lose yourself and lose your purpose in life. ”

Osviaa tilted his head: "I don't need a little kid to talk nonsense about me. ”

"I'm not here to lecture you, listen, Duper is clearly framed, if he is really a half-human king, will he be so stupid that he can't even control his own men?"

"I only believe in evidence, not feelings. ”

"Evidence can be made, don't you think that all the evidence we found was deliberately arranged. That coffin, all the evidence, it's all a faΓ§ade, it's all a fake.

The Centaur King is still in this school, and his purpose must not be as simple as finding the library, we don't have time. ”

"Do you know where he is?"

Ossivia's face sneered: "50 Aurors have been looking for this school for a semester, and you dare to say that you are better than them......?"

"Do you remember the Twohorn Headland?"

Hoffa interrupted Osivia: "Under Thames, the place where there are many dolphins, where we first met. ”

Osivia: "Yes. ”

"Hogwarts has something similar. ”

Ossivia was startled, she immediately raised her head and looked directly into Hoffa's eyes: "You mean, the mirror world, the mirror world like the Ancient Library?"

"That's right. ”

"But we've already been to that mirror world. ”

"If you were an ancient wizard with the ability to create a mirror world, would you create only one place?"
