"Professor. ”

Hoffa sat up, a little apprehensive.

He didn't know if the last time he entered the Forbidden Forest was considered a violation of discipline. If this is a violation of discipline, according to the rules of Armando Dippet. He would simply break his wand and be kicked out of school. However, Dumbledore could not decide his fate, it was Goshawk who could decide his fate.

"Except for Rutlov, the other two dark wizards were caught by me. ”

Dumbledore said lightly: "It's just that one of them was seriously injured by Joey, and the other had his vocal cords severed, and until now, they haven't said a word." ”

Hoffa's heart stopped beating a beat.

Although he was a dark wizard who was cut with a Transfiguration Charm, he didn't think that with Dumbledore's character, he probably wouldn't appreciate him.

But Dumbledore didn't delve into the question, saying, "Dark wizards have no way to enter the Forbidden Forest, this school is shrouded in powerful protection and interference spells, and they can't get in without the help of special people. I suspect there is a dark wizard within the school, what do you think about that?"

Internal should.

Hoffa looked a little confused, why did Dumbledore come to ask himself, he was only a first-year student, did he think he knew something?

He didn't know.

Hoffa shook his head in silence.

Dumbledore sighed lightly, as if disappointed.

He added: "Principal Diper and Vice-Chancellor Goshawk are now in Germany and may be back next week. When the time comes, I'm afraid that the punishment for Joey will not be less. ”

"Why!?" Hofa straightened up from the bed, "he saved us." ”

"He's putting two junior students in danger, which is beyond the teacher's job and could be fired for it. Dumbledore said with a blank face.

"He didn't know there was a dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest, he just wanted to know the meaning of the words left by the centaurs, you can't tell the cause right or wrong by the results. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hoffa himself was shocked. He didn't think about why his attitude was so fierce, he didn't have this before.

Dumbledore was silent, he lowered his head and examined Hoffa.

Suddenly, he smiled.

"I saw you in the Forbidden Forest that night, and wondered why you weren't a Gryffindor, but now it seems that Ravenclaw is a better fit for you. ”

Hoffa didn't know what he meant, so he could only purse his mouth and not speak.

Dumbledore: "You don't need to worry about the teaching staff. I came to see you today as an ordinary teacher. Hofa, do you remember what I said in my first class?"

Hoffa remained silent.

Dumbledore: "Be careful, Hoffa. Overdrawing magic is not the behavior of a smart wizard, and forcibly using magic beyond the scope of your ability is a very, very dangerous thing. ”

Hoffa sighed: "I understand, I'll pay attention next time." ”

"Good. Dumbledore stood up, and his expression softened a little.

"It's always hard to be alone in the world, and sometimes, it's not a shame to rely on your friends, don't you think?" he looked at Aglaia, then pushed open the door and left the room.

Watch Dumbledore's back disappear into the doorway.

Hoffa didn't move for a moment.

He's thinking, he's confused.

The arrow letter Joey received must not have been written by a centaur.

Who exactly designed the trap for himself or Joey.

Who is the inner response in the mouth of the Dundea.

After a while, the clueless Hoffa collapsed weakly on the pillow, his mind a little confused.

He looked out the window at the Scottish mountains.

I have a feeling in my heart that I can't put it into words.

No matter who designed the trap, but he has always been too passive, passively adapting to the environment, passively accepting fate.

It was Dumbledore who saved himself this time, but what about next time?

The unpredictable future confuses him, and the shadows that lurk in the shadows terrify him.

Hoffa wanted to change something, desperately wanted to change, wanted to take more initiative in controlling his own destiny, he didn't want to go on like this.

He wanted to tear through the fog that was hiding before his eyes.

......

......

Soon after, with the help of meditation, Hoffa's mental damage healed. But Dr. Reiner insisted that he could not be discharged from the hospital until a course of treatment was over.

In this respect, he was no different from Madam Pomfrey in later generations.

Aglaia had been in the hospital for several days, and these days, there was a steady stream of boys who came to see him. Some even ran around several times in a row.

Flowers, fruits, cards, chocolate frogs. The group of chocolate frogs were piled up on the table, forming a small hill of bags. Quack.

Even the transparent Ravenclaw with him was a little light, and he was given a small bag of fruit. The reason he got the fruit was because Aglaia's table couldn't fit.

Sure enough, it's the world of looking at faces.

Joey was not so lucky, because he lived a solitary life, and no one knew that he was sick. Hoffa only took on part of the responsibility of taking care of him, and while taking care of him, Hoffa was worried about whether the magical creatures he raised would starve to death because they were left unattended.

The last day of Dr. Reiner's treatment.

At dawn, Hoffa woke up from his hospital bedside.

The state couldn't be better.

Aglaia was also in good shape, she was now ruddy, sleeping peacefully, only a ring of gauze on her forehead.

But Joey's face was still pale, and the poisonous gas of the poison sac leopard made him very sick, and he had recently vomited up blue and purple venom occasionally.

Hoffa woke up and poured Joey a glass of water, and if he didn't consume a lot of water, the dehydration caused by vomiting would be fatal.

Looking at Joey, Hoffa was still terrified, and despite all the days that had passed, the shadow of the unknown still hung over him.

At eight o'clock in breakfast, Aglaia woke up.

However, when she saw Hoffa sitting on the edge of Joey's bed, she immediately turned sideways and pretended to be asleep.

She didn't have long before Reiner, the school doctor, dangled his hand in his white coat. He went to check on the spot and changed the dressing for the two of them.

At this time, Aglaia couldn't pretend anymore, so she could only sit up obediently and cooperate with Dr. Reiner for an examination.

After the examination, the reticent doctor said a few words to the nurse, and then walked away with his hands in his pocket.

Soon, only two sober people were left in the room, Hoffa and Aglaea.

The air fell into an awkward silence, enough of embarrassment to make Freud frown.

Hoffa pretended to check on Joey, but he had already checked it several times and couldn't keep checking it all the time.

Aglaia looked at the scenery outside the window, motionless, like a marble sculpture.

Not to mention Aglaia, God is pitiful, even Hoffa himself doesn't know how to deal with the relationship with the other party.

Friends, rivals?

It doesn't seem to be.

said that it was a friend, but it was still difficult for him to accept such an ego person as his friend, her personality was too strong, she always wanted to be the boss of everything, and she wanted to be better than others.

said that it was an opponent, and Hoffa thought it was better to forget it. If it was really a sworn enemy, he wouldn't be so angry when she was "dead". Having experienced life and death together, it's time for the farce between them to come to an end.

This paradoxical state between the two lasted for nearly ten minutes.

There is only the tireless tick of the clock in the room........

It wasn't until Joey, who was in the next bed, let out a gurgling cough that both Hoffa and Aglaia turned their heads to look at each other, and then they turned their heads to glare at each other.

"That ......"

"I ......"

The two opened and closed their mouths at the same time, and Hoffa scratched his head, thinking that it was really a dog, and the other party was like a female version of the mirror. in front of yourself.

I don't want to face it, but I have to face it.

Finally, Hoffa, who couldn't bear the embarrassing atmosphere, felt that it was better to leave here.

However, he just sat up.

There was a slam on the door, and the two of them sat up straight.

An old man in a turquoise robe strode in, his hands behind his back, his gray eyes full of anger.

He was the director of Ravenclaw House.

He is also the one who can really decide the fate of Hoffa and Aglaia.

Adebe Goshak was visibly suppressing his anger, his brow furrowed. Firmly staring at the two people in front of the hospital bed.

Hoffa felt the anger, but strangely, it wasn't directed at himself.

Facing the dean, even the unruly Aglaia honestly lowered her head and did not speak.

"It was just a business trip, and this kind of thing happened. Goshak squinted his eyes and said slowly, "As for why the two junior students appeared in the Forbidden Forest, I hope you two can give me a reasonable explanation. ”

Hoffa glanced at Aglaia.

Although I have experienced so much in the Forbidden Forest, the cause is very simple.

He wanted to refine a mana-restoring potion.

"We ......," Hoffa wanted to speak.

Goshak glanced at Hoffa coldly: "Wait a minute, Bach, I want to hear her first." ”

Hoffa shut up, his dean had never played cards according to the routine.

Aglaia glanced at Hoffa and coughed.

"Uh...... Yes, it was Mr. Administrator who approached me, and he said he needed someone who knew magical beasts to do him a favor. That's why they took me to the Forbidden Forest. ”

"What about him? Why is he there. Goshawk asked again.

He ...... Uh, he'...... He was tending to the horses at the hunting grounds, and I couldn't ride horses, so I ......"

She doesn't seem to be good at lying, and she stutters a little too much to make it up.

Oppressive silence.

"Is that all?" Goshak turned his gaze to Hoffa.

Hoffa breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Yes. ”

I saw Goshawk indifferently glance at Joey, who was still unconscious in the hospital bed, and then strode out without saying a word.

Bang!

He closed the door.

Hoffa and Aglaia breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they looked at each other. Each other saw each other, and there was a hint of tolerance in each other's eyes.

"The Real Murderer ....."

Aglaia puffed out her cheeks, her eyes wandering back and forth between Hoffa and her fingers.

There was a hint of worry in Hoffa's heart.

This concern is about Joey.

Although he is also a faculty member, Goshawk's status is obviously much higher than Joey's. He didn't know how the other party would treat Joey, and looking at Goshawk's appearance, he was very dissatisfied with the matter.

After sitting for a while, Hoffa rolled over and got out of bed, nodded to Aglaia and said politely, "Then you have a good rest, I will come to see you again when I have time." ”

It is true that he does not look at the other party unpleasantly now, but he and Aglaia can become close friends. Like Harry and Hermione, Hoffa felt that a moment and a half would be too hard to accept.

Aglaia waited for a long time for this reply, her expression slightly disappointed. Seeing that Hoffa was up to leave, her eyes rolled.

"Wait...... Wait a minute. ”

Hoffa turned his head: "What's wrong?"

"Uh......" Aglaia seemed to have forgotten what she wanted to ask, and she thought for a moment before she said:

"How did you learn all that magic? That's all that spell that hangs people upside down, and that deep invisibility spell ......?"

"The half-blood prince. ”

Hoffa said without thinking. "I learned it from a man named the Half-Blood Prince. ”

He put all the blame on the future Snape.

That's right, apart from the ghost walk, the upside-down Admiralty was indeed the creation of Severus Snape.

"Ah...... Oh. ”

Aglaia replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

Hoffa pushed the door open and walked out.

It took a while for Aglaia to react, she turned her head to look at the empty doorway, and then a big character lay on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling and muttering:

"There are no princes in wizards. ”
