56, the essence of the hero
Adebe Goshak's words made Hoffa feel a little better, but it was not easy to recover from the crushing defeat.
In the hallway of the school, Hoffa wandered numbly like a lonely ghost. He let his feet carry him, and habitually walked towards the Ravenclaw tower.
He was confused all the way, he didn't know how he had answered the eagle's question, and he didn't know how to get back to Ravenclaw Tower. When he returned to the common room, he stared at the flickering fire.
It was the first time in his life that he had taken the initiative to do something, and he seemed to have succeeded in preventing the destruction of the teleportation array.
But at the same time, it was a mess.
All the way, he thought about what the dark personality Miller had said to himself.
For half a year, he has been living in the shadow of World War II. Living in fear of war, living in the uneasiness of insecurity.
He had never spoken openly to anyone, nor had he ever wanted to find some real friend with Harry, as he did if he didn't think it was necessary.
But he doesn't live in a vacuum, he lives in the present. He inevitably affected others, and was even influenced by others, even impacted.
Hoffa took a deep breath and sat down in front of the fire in the common room, burying his face in the palm of his hand.
At this moment, his heart is complicated and entangled.
He began to envy the protagonist of the tendon in the Japanese comics, and the decisive protagonist in the online text. Even began to envy Tom Riddle.
Maybe they won't be affected in any way, as if they were born into this world with some kind of purpose on their back.
Before he could wait for his inner conflict to last, there was a sudden sound of the door opening at the door of the common room, and Agrea, dressed in a blue pleated dress, dragged Miranda into the lounge.
"Oh, okay, just pour it in one sip, it's still fruit wine, you're too rubbish......."
She was complaining when suddenly, she looked up and saw Hoffa by the fire, and Hoffa saw her.
The two were habitually silent for a while, and Hoffa's attention shifted to Miranda.
Miranda lowered her head, limp as mud.
Aglaia frowned, she lifted the paralyzed Miranda up, and sneered, "You've been on the toilet long enough." ”
Hoffa didn't explain, but stood up and slowly walked over to Miranda.
"Has she been with you all the time?"
"Hey, what the hell are you .......?"
"Never, never been. ”
"Of course, you're not brained. Aglaia said annoyedly.
Hoffa pondered for a moment, then he took Miranda in her arms with one hand and said to Aglaia, "Can you wait for me outside the lounge first, I have something to ask Miranda, please." ”
Aglaia's eyes widened in bewilderment, and she watched between Hoffa and Miranda for a long time.
"Ask what?"
Hoffa didn't answer, just looked at her.
"That'...... Okay, hurry up, I'm going to take a shower too. ”
She let go of her hand, puzzled, and walked out of the lounge with three turns.
After seeing her leave, Hoffa took a deep breath and turned his attention to Miranda.
She hadn't been anywhere, and had been at Slughorn's party, but someone who looked exactly like her appeared on the rooftop.
In this way, this guy can separate the other personality from the body and not let anyone see it. If you can see it yourself, it may just be that your spirit is higher than ordinary people.
Hoffa squinted and touched Miranda's forehead.
Start with ice.
This symptom was all too familiar to him, it was not drinking too much at all, but overdrawing his mana.
Hoffa had a glimmer of realization, so the seed planted by Grindelwald was to absorb Miranda's spirit and magic and give birth to Miller.
The aim is to sabotage Hogwarts, destroy the teleportation circle, and bring in the Dark Wizard. The school could eventually be destroyed.
I have to say that the vision is really vicious, and the target is the granddaughter of the vice principal.
But when did it all happen?
Did it start this semester, or did it have been planted a long time ago? I think it must have been planted a long time ago, otherwise Aglaia wouldn't have confessed her mistake before school started.
It's just that which personality is dominant, Miller, Miranda, or do they not interfere with each other?
After thinking for a moment, Hoffa took a deep breath, ran the meditation method, regained his magic, and settled his mind.
Then, he began to shake Miranda's shoulder, and after a few shakes, Miranda slowly woke up from the fire.
She opened her eyes weakly.
"What's wrong with my .....?"
Seeing Hofa, Miranda rubbed her head. "Didn't we go to Slughorn's party?"
She sat up as sleepily and silently as a cat, her eyes soft and her eyes like a veil of hazy eyes. It seems that they are completely unaware of the tense life-and-death confrontation between the two an hour ago.
Hoffa looked at her and didn't say a word.
Miranda probably saw the bruises on Hoffa's face, so she rubbed her forehead and crawled over, frowning, "Who did you fight with?"
Cold fingers swept across Hoffa's face, but Hoffa still didn't speak.
Miranda rubbed her forehead and stared at Hoffa in confusion.
"What kind of look do you have, is it sympathy?"
Hoffa looked away and said calmly, "You drank too much at Slughorn's banquet. ”
"Really?"
Miranda rubbed her head and sat back.
Muttered, "I forgot what I ate, how much ....... I drank"
"Do you know Grindelwald?" Hoffa interrupted her straight by holding her arm.
When he asked this, his muscles tensed.
Miranda opened her mouth and looked at Hoffa with an expression that bordered on stupidity.
"Huh? ”
As soon as he saw her expression, Hoffa knew that there was no play.
There are only two possibilities, one is that the two personalities do not interfere with each other, just like the inexplicable forgetfulness after the last time I helped myself borrow a book, and the other is that this little girl's acting skills have been superb, and she can't distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Either way, he would never have gotten an answer from Miranda.
"Forget it, nothing. I'll send you to rest. Hoffa took Miranda's arm and said calmly. "Get a good night's sleep. ”
Pushing and helping Miranda into the door of the girls' dormitory, Hoffa hesitated in place for a moment.
Then he walked quickly to the outside of the common room, on the narrow bridge in the sky, Aglaia's blue eyes were full of displeasure.
"Hey, what the hell are you looking for me?"
Hoffa leaned on the railing beside her: "I have a question for you, a very important question. ”
Aglaia: "Huh?"
"Tell me who Miller Goshack is, and you mistook me for Miller on the train, why?
Aglaia paused for a moment, then blushed slightly, "Go away." ”
She's going to go back.
Hoffa reluctantly stopped her, "Tell me quickly." ”
"That pot doesn't open it, don't mention which pot? ”
Aglaia was a little annoyed and said, "I admit my mistake, can't I?"
Hoffa: "Then why don't you mention Miller when no one else mentions it?"
"What does this have to do with you?" said Aglaia, frowning. "I didn't know Miller, I hadn't even really met him. I just knew there was such a person. The children who grew up in our wizarding family were more or less related to each other, and when I was a child, I often heard that the Goshak family had a very powerful magic genius named Miller. I thought everyone else was bragging, and I wanted to talk to him. But the guy seems to be quite withdrawn, and he can't find it no matter how he looks for it, so he ......"
Aglaia shrugged and didn't continue.
"So you don't know Miller. ”
Hoffa helped her finish.
"Yes, I thought the so-called Charms genius would be at Hogwarts, but he wasn't. As for me identifying you as him, it's because the Goshak family has a very close relationship with the goblins, and when I was very young, I saw a man named Nimon Goshak who had the same earrings on his ears as you. But then he died, on the island of the Black Golan. I thought you were his son, so I inherited this earring. ”
"As for the relationship between Miranda and Miller, I guess it's probably cousins or something. Because the various intermarriages between wizarding families are very complicated, the Goshak family is not a small family. As for their specific relationship. I didn't ask Miranda, and Miranda never told me. Aglaia said.
Hoffa was silent, he knew that things were not as simple as Aglaia had thought.
The seemingly ordinary and cute little sister next door has a completely unknown side in her heart. Extremely dark, wild, dangerous side.
Aglaia folded her arms and looked at Hoffa curiously.
"What the hell is wrong with you, what happened. Why do you care so much about Miranda?"
Hoffa hesitated for a few seconds, and then, the shadow of the past haunted him one last time. He thought of Miller's sarcasm about himself and hid in his own little world.
Damn it!
In the end, Hoffa chose to change.
He told Aglaia what had happened tonight. He felt that he might need some help to solve the problem, and perhaps Aglaia, who was also a girl, had better advice.
After Hoffa finished speaking, Aglaia stared at the darkness under the narrow bridge with a hellish expression.
It took a long time for her to turn her head.
"You mean, Miranda and Miller are the same person?"
"That's right. ”。
There was silence for a while.
Aglaia said, "What a joke. You've got your head squeezed by the door. ”
Hoffa did not refute or agree, but only sighed.
Aglaia looked at Hoffa for a moment, the look of disdain on her face turning to astonishment.
"Oh my God, she really destroyed the teleportation array. I...... I sleep next door with a girl with a demonic personality created by Germany's chief wizard Gellert Grindelwald!!"
Aglaia's face was pale, and her tone was intense.
"How can the school do that, do you know how terrible an emotionally unstable wizard can be? Do you know what silence is ......?"
Hoffa raised a hand.
"Don't shout, she's more than a hundred times stronger than you think. ”
Aglaia opened her mouth, as if she wanted to argue about something. But eventually, she calmed down. The last life-and-death battle in the Forbidden Forest made her recognize Hoffa as a teammate.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Aglaia asked.
There was silence for a moment.
Hofa looked at the darkness under the narrow bridge, and he thought of the letters in the Forbidden Forest reminding him to leave, and of the last surviving dodo.
Eventually, his gaze gradually became firm.
The experience of more than half a year has made him no longer as fragile as when he first came to this world. He won't fall easily because of that dark personality and what he said.
"Agrea. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Can you help me refine the medicine once?"
Aglaia grew her mouth and looked at Hoffa in disbelief. This boy was almost the same as the one she had seen before.
Then, she almost blurted out, "Please." ”
Hoffa didn't speak, just looked at her.
She blushed slightly.
"I ...... I'm kidding. What kind of medicine do you want?"
"Mana recovery potion, I want a lot. Very much. ”
Aglaia thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I'll get it for you. ”
"Thank you. ”
"What about you?" Aglaia asked softly, "what are you going to do yourself?"
Hoffa raised his head, took a deep breath, and said firmly, "I'm going to go back to Goshak, I'm going to solve the problem." ”
