61, the road to the decisive battle

Learning Grindelwald's spells, Hoffa said goodbye to Joey and sped off to the school, hoping to tell Goshawk about it, hoping to get more information about Miller and Grindelwald.

However, when he ran to the school out of breath, the school suddenly became empty. He ran to his Charms classroom, which was empty.

He wanted to ask the other teachers, so he ran to the third floor of the teacher's office, which was not only empty, but also found that the door of Slughorn's office was open, and it was a mess, and all kinds of precious utensils were smashed in a mess, which made people frightened to see.

Hoffa stepped on the glass on the floor, and when he looked around, he didn't see anyone in the office, and he began to feel a little uneasy in his heart.

What's going on?

He quickly rushed to the hall of the school. When he reached the hall auditorium, he finally saw one or two seniors in the hallway hurrying out.

Hoffa hurriedly rushed over and grabbed a senior student, and said anxiously: "Hey, what about the people, what about the teachers and students of the school?"

The student looked at him with the eyes of a retarded person.

"Are you stupid, it's a Quidditch final today, why don't you stay here to watch the final?"

Final?

Hoffa was a little confused.

He remembers the days of the Quidditch final vividly, and Aglaia reminds him almost every day. It should be next week, why did it suddenly start a week earlier.

"Professor Deng Liduo has advanced the schedule of the finals, I don't know it's normal. ”

A Hufflepuff girl next to her slapped the boy and then said to Hoffa gently, "Today is the school Quidditch final, and the final is between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. Would you like to come and see it?"

In the final, are Goshawk and the other professors watching the Quidditch final?

Hoffa followed a few senior students and ran quickly to the final venue, and sure enough, it was already crowded. Under the bright sunlight, the blue eagle flag and the red lion flag fluttered in the sky.

He didn't see Goshak, nor did the other teachers, except for the tall, curly-haired Quidditch teacher, Pario, with two rows of Quidditch players standing next to him.

Ravenclaw in blue, and Gryffindor in red.

At this moment, Aglaia was standing on the lawn with a handful, looking left and right. She held a brand-new broomstick in her hand, and there were several large gilded letters on the handle of the broom.

Oak Arrow - 79

Seeing Hoffa running from the castle, Aglaia stood on her tiptoes and walked out of the team with a broomstick.

"Hey, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time. ”

This time, she no longer cared about the eyes of the people around her, and said anxiously.

"I'm going to look for Goshak, will Goshak watch the game again?" asked Hoffa.

Aglaia stomped her feet in a hurry.

"Gee, don't worry about Goshak, all the deans and headmasters are all going to Romania today. ”

Hoffa's face turned slightly pale, and the excitement of learning to break the grip was suddenly dispelled by the news. He's been obsessed with learning spells and taking care of Maya lately, and he didn't even realize that May was coming so quickly!

"Is it .......?"

Aglaia took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice, "Miranda is missing. ”

Hoffa's face was a little pale.

Aglaia: "I haven't seen her since I got up in the morning, but she left me a note. ”

With that, she handed the note to Hoffa.

[Let's go, I can't control it.] 】

Hoffa's footsteps swayed, his eyes widening.

"Damn, these professors just walked on their front feet, and that Miller guy couldn't hide!?"

Aglaia appeared calm, and she pulled a gray cloth bag from her pocket and handed it to Hoffa.

"This is a mana recovery potion, quick, go find her, I've told the owl to inform St. Mungo, they'll be sending someone soon. ”

Hoffa took the cloth bag and opened it to take a look.

It was full of more than a dozen tubes of mana recovery potions.

Before he had time to thank Aglaia, Hoffa immediately asked, "What about Dumbledore?"

He knew that Principal Dippet had left Dumbledore to take care of the school.

Aglaia pointed his finger to the top and said quickly: "Dumbledore informed us that the final will be held early, and he probably felt something, and he didn't worry about letting us disperse and stay inside the school, so he found a reason to gather us together." ”

Hoffa followed Aglaia's fingers.

Sure enough, he saw Dumbledore from the top of the stands, but his expression was solemn, not the excitement he usually had before looking at the court.

Hoffa immediately understood why Dumbledore was doing this. Although he couldn't see Miller, he could feel Miller's presence, did that mean something was about to happen?

Miranda must be found.

Hoffa picked up the cloth bag, turned around and ran.

"Be careful!" Aglaia's voice came from behind.

But Hoffa couldn't answer anymore.

He quickly rushed into the school's empty castle.

The mental force field is fully open.

Within a radius of fifty meters covered by his mental force field, all the items were as if they were alive. All sorts of information poured into Hoffa's brain.

That's right, he felt the breath, the dark spiritual energy.

It's right next to you, and gradually there is a tendency to become more and more intense.

It didn't take long for him to follow the breath and see Miller walking slowly between the steps of the Ravenclaw Tower. As it walked, it spun a thick black wooden stick like a pencil.

When Hoffa saw the stick, his face turned pale.

It stole Schmidt Rutrov's wand out of his quarters.

Miller saw him, too, and raised his wand and waved at him ostentatiously.

Needless to say.

This time, Hoffa didn't hesitate to chase after him.

For so many months, he was waiting for this day.

With more than a dozen tubes of mana recovery potions, he was no longer afraid of the other party at all.

Miller was very calm, and he lit the railing with his wand and walked leisurely through the castle.

From time to time, it rolls over and jumps off the railing, quickly changing positions with the help of spiral staircases.

Hoffa also learned to jump off the railing, but Miller smiled sarcastically and tapped Schmidt's wand against the wall.

Suddenly, a staircase that had rushed to pick up Hoffa suddenly stopped in mid-air. Hoffa fell straight down from a seven-story building.

This change was not expected by Hoffa, but he did not panic, he flicked his wand, turned it into a long whip, and firmly tied it to the statue of the stone eagle on the castle wall, and stopped in mid-air.

There was no focus point in the air, Huo Fa narrowed his eyes, and under the guidance of the spiritual force field, a stone hand naturally grew on the wall, catching Huo Fa in mid-air. Hoffa stepped on the walls of the castle, dozens of feet above the ground.

The wand-changing whip slowly retracted.

The oil paintings on the walls were amazed.

Miller tilted his head as well, and only the face of his mouth conveyed a trace of stunned emotion.

Then, the corners of its mouth pulled up slightly, nodded to Hoffa, and quickly turned to leave.

Hoffa chased after him in great stride, and he ran against the wall like this, and with each step, a stepping stone would naturally grow under his feet, helping him to pursue quickly.

Miller is also getting faster.

The scenery quickly changed and became familiar, and Hoffa followed Miller to the school's club tower, where Miller disappeared without a trace.

But Hoffa knew where it went.

Deep in the Society's tower, the door to the Violet Society's secret room opened. What did Miller want to do when he brought himself here?

Hoffa slowed down and walked cautiously.

This was the second time he had entered the interior of the Society's chamber.

The depths of the boxy dark basement.

Between the swaying braziers of the wall, Miller sat on the stone platform and looked at Hoffa with interest.

"I'm getting more and more interested in you, it's only been a few months, and you're making rapid progress. It whispered.

Hoffa didn't answer, he looked around.

This place is different from the last time, in addition to the oil paintings, there are several thick iron chains scattered on the ground, and there are some dark brown mottled blood stains on the ground, as if several people were once imprisoned here.

It's just that the chains are all broken, severed by a sharp spell.

Obviously, the director of the Ministry of Magic, Albert, said that the two dark wizards captured by Hogwarts were locked up in Violet's society secret room.

Only now that the chains are broken, it means that the dark wizard has been let go.

"Miller!"

Hoffa raised his head and roared in a low voice.

"I'm glad you finally got my name right, Hoffa Bach. ”

It scoffed, "But, after the crushing defeat that night, you still dare to stand in front of me, who gave you the courage." ”

"Less nonsense, what about Miranda?" asked Hoffa, gloomily.

"Heh, she has more important things to do......"

Hoffa didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ghost Walk!

The wand instantly turned into a silver lion-headed fist that wrapped around his arm, this time more hideous and exaggerated than the last one.

Hoffa didn't spare his hand and slammed a punch directly into Miller's head.

Rumble!

Miller, the Faceling, rolled three hundred and sixty degrees in the head from the punch, flew out and slammed into the wall with a thud. A stone hand stretched out from the wall in the blink of an eye, holding Miller firmly and holding him immobile.

"What the hell do you want to do?" asked Hoffa.

"Want to fight? ”

Its head twisted into a twist, but it still smiled: "You are on the wrong side, Hoffa Bach, and today I will prove to you how powerful a correct idea is." ”

After speaking, he directly turned into black smoke with a bang and disappeared.

Not good!

As soon as Hoffa turned his head, the door to the Violet Chamber was rapidly closing.

He immediately started the ghost walk, and all the stone steps in front of him were scattered, and Hoffa turned into an afterimage, grazing the entrance and passing through it dangerously.

I took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

This guy was striking, and it led itself to the Violet Chamber, trying to lock itself inside, and it must have been buying time.

The fact that the Dark Wizard was let go means that Schmidt Rutrov was nearby.

Dumbledore had to protect his students at the Quidditch pitch.

I have to find Miranda quickly, she is the source of it all.

Where will she be?

Astronomy Tower!

That's right!

It must be in the Astronomical Tower.

With a thought, Hoffa made his way through the deserted castle, and this time, Miller was nowhere to be seen.

After possessing a certain mental force field, he was able to gradually feel the emotions of the environment. It was a force of slaughter, darkness, and destruction.

Running up the Ravenclaw tower and through the hallways high in the air, Hoffa came to the door of Goshak's office.

It was no longer as quiet and orderly as before, broken planetariums were thrown everywhere, speculums were all shattered, glass shards were everywhere, and the ground was covered with shattered metal.

On the walls, Hoffa saw crazy magical scratches, like blackboards with countless sharp fingernails scratching through them.

Just looking at the scratches, Hoffa seemed to feel Miranda's inner struggle and madness, and she couldn't control herself anymore.

The two paintings on the wall are torn in half, and the portrait of Nimon and Alice stays in the corner of the painting, looking at Hoffa sadly.

"Mars. ”

Hoffa said.

The expected opening did not appear, and the portrait of Nimon Goshak shook his head.

"Not true. ”

No? Hoffa chuckled inwardly. Goshawk changed his password?

"Order?"

"Not true. Nimon in the portrait still shook his head.

Hoffa pondered the passwords Goshawk might use.

"Violet?" he asked tentatively.

The blank portrait is unresponsive.

Hoffa asked, "Who changed the password, Miranda or Adbay?"

The portrait of Nemon says, "Miranda. ”

Good fellow, Hoffa spun around in place, rubbing his temples, the two dark wizards were already out of trouble, and Schmidt must be hiding somewhere in the school at the moment. And Miranda actually changed the password in Goshak's office. blocked his own way to find her.

"Miller?"

The blank portrait remains unresponsive.

Hoffa slapped himself twice on the cheek to calm himself down. He was silent in the sea of memories, thinking about the moments he spent with Miranda. only to find that this girl has always remained mysterious, making it difficult for people to see her true face.

What exactly?

What exactly would she use as a password?

Suddenly.

The tentacles of the spirit stopped rummaging.

He thought of the first time he and Miranda met.

The faint fragrance of violet flowers in the carriage, a girl reading a book alone.

(Do you also read Muggle books?)

Well. )

Hoffa looked up: "War and peace. ”

Nimon smiled with satisfaction: "It's really yours, come on." ”

The tattered portrait opened, revealing a corridor behind it.

Hoffa succeeded. He rushed into the empty office and scurried across the spiral staircase.

Bang!

After three months, he once again opened the door to the observatory.
