Legendary characters are bound to have legendary minds.

Christmas is over, new semester, new year.

Hoffa packed up his faith and started anew.

But this time, instead of waiting for fate to rule him, he wants to take the initiative to pursue the battle.

It's about spirit, it's about fate.

In just a few words, the dark personality Miller had become his demon, and if he didn't defeat him, Hoffa thought he would have no hope for the rest of his life.

can only survive in the world and do nothing.

And first of all, what Hoffa has to do is to understand each other.

On the first day of the resumption of classes in the new semester, Miranda did not show up for Charms class.

In this class, Goshak didn't even deduct points, and he didn't even mention it.

In class, Hoffa could see the dark circles and exhaustion lurking under the old man's eyes. He wasn't as energetic as he had been.

The events of Christmas night dealt a considerable blow to him as well.

After the class, Hoffa did not leave immediately, he stood up and walked in front of Adebe Goshak.

"Professor, wait a minute. ”

Goshawk looked at him in surprise and stood still.

Aglaia nodded at him, and his classmates bustled past him, leaving only Hoffa and Goshak in the classroom.

This was the first time Hoffa had been alone with Professor Goshawk since Christmas.

"I want to get to know Miranda. Hoffa said straight to the point, and then he ignored Goshak's stunned eyes.

"I want to know why she destroyed the teleportation array, and what that Miller guy was responsible for. ”

It took a long time for Goshawk to react, he took two steps, and then sat down on the table next to him with his fingers crossed.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know," said Hoffa quietly, "I think very clearly, I want to know her. ”

"May I know why?" Goshawk didn't retort, but asked rhetorically.

"Where you fall, you get up. That's what you said, now I'm up and down, but I'm going to prevent me from falling again. ”

Goshawk was still thinking about Hoffa's proposal, and he thought about it for a moment.

"Bach, you're just a first-year. You can do a favor once that night, it's enough. ”

"Miranda is also a first-year student. Hoffa said calmly.

Goshawk didn't refuse directly, but after thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked out: "Bach, you're just an outsider, this has nothing to do with you. ”

"Nothing to do with me?"

Hoffa stood in front of Goshawk and stopped him.

"Do you think I'll be hunted down by a dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest for no reason, or do you think I'll let the same thing happen twice?"

"It won't happen again, I assure you. ”

"Can you promise to be at school every day, to watch her every day? How much care can you devote to taking care of her in the face of the imminent war in Europe, but I heard from Principal Duppet that you are going to Romania with him soon......"

"Shut up!"

Goshawk was gone, and he reverted to his usual resolute Ravenclaw abbot.

"You are not allowed to mention this. ”

"You're afraid of being known to her. ”

Hoffa pierced Goshawk's strength in one bite.

"I'm afraid Miller knows you're not there, and once you're gone, it's going to show up, isn't it? No one in this school can see it except you and me. ”

"Enough!"

Goshak waved his hand in annoyance, no longer looking at Hoffa, he stood up: "I agree to your request, but I will only give you an extra lesson in private." Come to my office at 7 o'clock tonight. The new password for my office is Mars, and I hope you don't be late. ”

The corners of Hoffa's mouth went up, and he grinned.

"Of course not being late. ”

......

......

That night, Hoffa told Aglaia about her make-up lessons, but unexpectedly it caused her to react violently.

"I hadn't slept for several nights, and Miranda must have known something. She always looked at me weirdly. If you want me to say, sending her to St. Mungo's psychiatrist is the best solution. ”

At night, on the narrow bridge outside the common room, Aglaia suggested this to Hoffa.

Hoffa: "I don't think psychological problems can be solved by magic, your solution is too violent. ”

"Heh, you can keep this to Goshak, but I've heard from people in my family that this old man is notoriously strong and cold-blooded in the European wizarding world. I'll bet you 5 nat, and he'll definitely let you learn some advanced defensive skills to deal with Miranda......"

Since she hadn't slept well for several nights, Aglaia probably held back her resentment.

She wanted to complain, but Hoffa could only listen silently.

By almost seven o'clock, Hoffa left the Ravenclaw tower and headed for Professor Goshak's Astronomy Tower.

Walking through the corridor lined with planetariums and speculums, Hoffa stood in front of the double painting and said, "Mars." ”

The painting parted, and Hoffa climbed the spiral stone steps and knocked on the door.

"Please come in. ”

A faint voice came from the office.

Hoffa pushed the door in, and the room was still the same as before, plain and almost rudimentary, and Hoffa paid attention to one detail.

The paintings on the walls were all gone, and Professor Goshawk put them away.

"You're punctual, Hoffa. ”

Goshak said at the wooden table, "Sit down." ”

He pointed to an empty wooden chair in front of him.

After Hoffa sat down, he saw a black scroll in front of him, and the edge of the scroll was carved with runes and symbols.

Hoffa is very familiar with this prop, the Book of Spells.

Half a year ago, he used this thing when he was learning the illusion spell in the secret room of the Violet Society. This thing can be used as a meditation basin to record other people's memories, but the memories must be related to mantras.

Goshak didn't say a word of nonsense, and came up straight to the point.

Goshak: "To control the dark personality Miller, I think you'll need very strong control spells. The best way to learn magic is to watch other wizards cast spells. To this end, I borrowed the precious Book of Spells from Principal Duper as a tool for my teaching. Today I'm going to take you back to ......"

"Ahem, wait a minute, Professor. ”

Hoffa interrupted Goshak.

Goshawk frowned in displeasure, "What's wrong?"

"I wish I could get to know her first. You'll have to tell me everything that happened. How Miranda was enchanted by Grindelwald, and the reason for the estrangement between her and you. ”

After a moment of silence, Goshawk said in a deep voice, "Few first-year students are as bold as you. ”

"I want to solve the problem. Hoffa looked at Goshawk calmly.

Goshawk frowned, looked at the ceiling for a moment, then crossed his fingers and said lightly:

"Wizards have powers beyond ordinary people, and naturally they also have responsibilities beyond ordinary people. The world is not peaceful, there are so many reasons why wizards are constantly fighting, and land resources are also one of them.

Every year, the school sends students to the wizarding contest area, and it is the same in every country, and these students are both in school and those who have graduated. And Miranda's parents were also members of the dispatch. ”

"Who is the one who sent them there?" asked Hoffa. "Is that you?"

After a long time, Goshak nodded slowly.

"They were killed by German dark wizards, and Miranda was in great pain, and she thought it was my fault that my parents died. ”

As he spoke, Goshak's eyes moved to Hoffa's ears, "Including your friend Indor, who was also Nemon's friend. Of course, he also thinks that I killed Miranda's parents, and I don't deny that, but in the face of war, I don't have much choice. ”

"Miranda has had a very high talent for magic since she was a child. Especially after the death of both his parents, she showed an unparalleled speed of learning in spells. But this is not a good thing for a young girl, and excessive exposure of talents beyond the ordinary will attract unnecessary coveting. But by the time I realized it, it was too late. Grindelwald took a fancy to her and wanted to train her to be his right-hand man. He planted a magical seed in her brain that would consume her emotions and magic to grow until it replaced her original personality. ”

After a pause, Goshak said slowly.

"I'm sure you've seen Schmidt Rutloff, he's the product of being completely devoured by spiritual seeds, Grindelwald has done this to a lot of people, he's very good at manipulating people's hearts, I left Miranda in school in the hope that she can overcome her dark personality with the help of other teachers and students. But it seems to have backfired, she's been getting worse and worse lately, and maybe I'll take her out of school after this school year. ”

After Goshak finished speaking, Hoffa felt that he didn't feel a good feeling in his heart, and when he started school, he thought he had hugged a golden thigh, but now it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Goshawk said indifferently: "I appreciate that you took the initiative to come to me, but it is not enough to know Miranda, what you really need to know is Grindelwald." ”

He pulled out the book of spells, placed the scroll on the table, and slowly spread it out.

The last time Hoffa didn't pay attention, this time he saw it really.

As the broken and ancient scroll opened, two intricately patterned symbols appeared on the scroll.

One is the palm and the other is the eye.

Goshak pointed at the scroll with his wand and explained, "The palms represent attempts, and the eyes represent observations. Attempts can be attempted many times, and are generally used to force the study of spells, while observation can only be observed once, and is generally used for potions or shapeshifting. IMHO, with your magic and talent, I don't think you can beat Miranda in terms of spells. ”

After saying that, Goshawk tapped the scroll with his wand and silently recited: "Unseal the seal......"

A white light poured out from the eyes on the scroll, and in the blink of an eye, it flowed through the entire scroll. It's the same as the last one.

In the next second, the white light burst into play, and the eyes of Hoffa and Goshak lost their luster and fell on the table.

......

......

As before, Hoffa experienced a white space without space, without time, without matter.

Eventually, the whites slowly fade away.

When the color returned to his eyes, he found himself standing on a small island, surrounded by a calm sea of deep blue.

Filled with the chirping of seabirds, Hoffa now found himself in a red sandstone plateau surrounded by cliffs, with many different species of seabirds inhabiting the multicolored sandstone beneath his feet, and the air was as clean as transparent.

On the other side of the island is a small village. Simple wooden houses are dotted between the forests, a little far from here.

This time the perspective was not as dead as the previous frame, and this time it made Hoffa feel more like looking at memories in a meditation basin.

Hoffa asked, "Where is this, Professor?"

"Black Goland, 1928. This story belongs to Principal Armando Duppet, and I hope you have learned something from it. ”

After saying that, he took Hoffa and walked on the sandstone plateau.

In a few moments, Hoffa saw a line of wizards standing on the edge of the cliff, their robes hunting in the sea breeze.

Hoffa came to the front of the row of standing wizards, spinning around.

An old man with half-bald hair stood alone on a cliff with a solemn expression in his silver-white robe, his robe hunting in the wind.

Amandor Duppet, the current Principal. He looked much taller than when he started school, and he didn't look like he was at the opening party.

Behind him stood a line of people.

Hoffa's heart pounded when he saw the row of people.

They were all wearing masks, masks with simple patterns outlined on pale masks,

They were exactly the same as the people I saw in the violet community wall paintings.

Goshawk volunteered to explain to Hoffa, "These are members of the Violet Society, one of the top societies at Hogwarts. ”

Hoffa asked, "What about Principal Dippert and their relationship?"

Goshawk: "Direct chiefs, some Violets will go straight to the British royal family after graduation and become court wizards. ”

A mystery slowly unravels, and Hoffa finally learns why Dippet brought flowers into the Violet Chamber on Christmas Day.

He is the leader of this group of wizards.

It's like the relationship between Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.

He circled around the group, and sure enough, in the middle of the third row, he saw a man wearing fairy earrings.

Nimon Goshak.

Goshak's gaze lingered on the man for a long time, and he said slowly, "In the Book of Spells observation mode, there is no interaction between the observer and the observed. For what you have experienced is nothing more than a record of the Book of Spells. ”

Maybe he was afraid that Hoffa wouldn't understand, so he said a little more beside him. But that's more like a self-talk.

After a while, a steamer with black smoke slowly approached from the sea, and it may not be right to say that it was a ship, that it was an old warship, a very old warship.

Hoffa's only impression of this type of ship is still on a few old photographs depicting the Sino-Japanese naval battle --- history books.

The remembered Principal Dippert said in a deep voice, "Here it is." ”

All the masked wizards around him took out their wands with solemn expressions and vanished, including Miranda's father. Nimon Goshak.

But Dippert didn't move.

He stood alone on a cliff looking at the shore.

Hoffa's attention stayed on the sea, and after the warship docked, a dozen people walked down.

Those people were also wizards, but they didn't apparition, but climbed the cliff step by step.

The first person is an extremely handsome middle-aged man, he has white hair combed neatly back, deep green pupils, and a tall figure. Wearing a crisp black trench coat.

Coming to the cliff, the man raised his arm and stopped all his entourage. Then he walked alone in front of Principal Dippert.

Hoffa's eyes lingered on the wizard for a long time, and he probably guessed the man's possible identity.

Sure enough, I only heard Principal Dippert's hoarse mouth say, "Grindelwald, what do I want?"

Gellert Grindelwald!!

The last generation of the Dark Lord.

Hoffa slowly moved closer, looking up and down at Dumbledore's lifelong enemy, the man who was said to be able to get old Deng out of the closet.

He is not a monster with a hideous face like Voldemort, but like a personable general, just one glance makes people's hearts sway and yearn for it.

Hoffa's gaze lingered on Grindelwald's waist for a long time.

There was the handle of a wand.

The Elder Wand, Elderberry Wand, the most powerful wand in the world.

One of the three Deathly Hallows, you only need to gather three of them to surpass death.

The handsome middle-aged man showed a smile that could charm thousands of girls.

"Come up and ask for something, Principal Dippert, don't you want to talk to me a little longer?"
