104 Chapter 37, Fate
When Hoffa returned to the school hall, all the students were asleep here. None of the students from the four colleges returned to the common room. They got into sleeping bags and slept on the floor.
This scene is surprisingly similar to the scene when Sirius invaded the school in later generations, but the nature is worse than that one.
On the ceiling, the dark nebula slowly rotated, and some green lines like eyes shone in it.
The only light source in the entire hall is the Hogwarts Orb in the center of the hall, which slowly rotates, and the dense light seems to be squeezed by the darkness, dim and weak.
It does not provide any protection at all.
Numerous Auror teachers patrolled around the tower and the hall, and even the wandering ghosts kept a vigilant look.
But no one knew where that scary guy entered the school, and Hoffa couldn't figure it out at all.
There is a sentry outside the school where trains cannot enter. The entire Forbidden Forest is strictly guarded by Aurors. Even the secret passages inside the school are sealed off by the school teachers. This year, students are not even allowed to go to Hogsmeade.
How did that guy get in here?
Hoffa ghost-walked past a group of patrolling Aurors to his two friends, walking so softly that he didn't wake anyone up.
But Aglaia was not asleep at the moment, her blue eyes flickered in the darkness, and when she saw Hoffa approaching, she immediately sat up from the ground and wanted to speak.
"Hush."
Hoffa looked at the sleeping people around and motioned her to keep her voice down.
"Did you ask the result?"
In the darkness, Aglaia whispered with an exaggerated mouth shape.
Hoffa shook his head.
Aglaia was in a hurry: "How could this happen, who is that, how would he know where I hid things, if it wasn't for Slytherin."
"Hush."
Hoffa shook his head, signaling Aglaia to keep quiet.
When she quieted down, Hoffa whispered in her ear.
"Is that a key too?"
"what are you saying?"
Aglaia rubbed her hair, her chest heaved violently, looking very excited.
"Your bracelet?"
"What the hell are you talking about? What key?"
Hoffa thought for a moment.
"nothing."
In the darkness, several Aurors walked by.
Hoffa pulled Aglaia to lie down.
The Auror walked slowly on patrol, his eyes sweeping over a row of sleeping bags on the ground. The slender body slowly disappeared into the darkness.
When the footsteps died away, Hoffa looked sideways into Aglaia's blue eyes, and she looked at himself in the dark.
"I'm a little scared, Hoffa."
she whispered.
Normally, Hoffa would have to taunt her, but now, he patted the back of her hand.
"It doesn't matter."
Then he let go of his hands and sat up, getting up and walking through the sleeping bags on the ground.
The ghost walks and disappears into the dark hall.
The location of Osilvia's office was known to Hoffa, even if he didn't want to know, he was forced to know. Because his roommate had already been familiar with the teacher's daily whereabouts, they would chat about the female teacher for a while every night.
Her office is in the basement, next to the Slytherin common room. Rumor has it that Dumbledore offered her his sunny third-floor office, but she declined. On the grounds of acclimatization.
Hoffa looked at his watch. At this moment, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and he was not sure whether Osilvia would be in the office at all.
He hesitated for a moment outside the door, but knocked anyway.
"Enter."
Almost the moment he knocked on the door, a faint female voice came from inside.
The doorknob on the office opened automatically with a creak, and Hoffa saw a spiral staircase leading directly to the ground, with the faint sound of water inside.
Hoffa walked down slowly. This was the longest spiral escalator he had ever walked, and it was still down.
After walking more than ten meters of spiral stairs, in the darkness, the sound of gurgling water became louder.
Her office was not the same as Slughorn's, it was a standard Slytherin office.
The office is dark and dreary. The furnishings inside are simple.
The office has a full glass wall, outside the glass wall is the bottomless, dark black lake. In the lake, the faint moonlight is the only source of light in this underground office. In the lake, there are some looming black shadows swimming in it.
Once his eyes became familiar with the darkness, he could see a huge statue of a serpent's head on the wall.
A fountain of water gushes from the statue's mouth and drips into the pool.
Osivia Panxi sat on the snake's head, and seemed to have merged with the black background. If it weren't for the faint green light in her eyes, Hoffa could hardly recognize the trace of her existence.
This water snake nest made Hoffa instinctively uncomfortable.
"I heard about your common room."
Osilvia said softly, "It's scary to hear."
Her voice was a bit indistinct in the voice of Shuiquan.
Hoffa said nothing, just looked up at her.
Osilvia: "You came to me, it means you have thought about it?"
Hoffa took a few steps sideways: "I can be your teaching assistant, not just watching, I also need to find that person."
"That's not why I came to you." Osilvia said flatly.
"That's my goal," Hoffa said. "Not only that, but I have one condition."
"What?"
"I want to know everything. I need you to tell me everything about the half-king and why he is in the Ravenclaw tower."
"Sorry, I can't answer your question. I don't know the so-called half-human king, let alone his identity."
"Didn't you fight each other before?"
"That's right, but I failed that time. I didn't get any information from that fight. But I'm sure, he's not a wizard."
"Then what can you tell me?"
Osilvia slid down from the snake sculpture silently, walked to Hoffa's side, and looked closely at his pale golden eyes.
"I can take you to find the Forbidden Art Library. No matter what that guy wants to do, the goal is the Forbidden Art Library. As long as you find the library and lay a net there, no matter how powerful your opponent is, it will not be hundreds or thousands Auror's rival."
Hoffa was silent for a moment.
"After killing him? What will you do, get the knowledge in the library?"
"I don't care." Osilvia shook her head.
Hoffa: "Those ambitious people in Britain, do you care, what will they do after they get the endless ban, do you care?"
Osilvia shook her head: "I don't care, this world is chaotic and crazy. With or without a library, those ambitious people will not disappear."
"That's true."
Hoffa sighed and held out his hand.
"Hopefully this time our goals can be aligned."
Osivia's cold hand grasped Hoffa's palm, and when she let go, Hoffa felt a hard object in her palm.
He looked down and saw that it was a silver sign, in the shape of a snake, with a row of small characters engraved on it, teaching assistant of Transfiguration class.
"After school at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for you at the door of the library." Osivia said.
"Which library?"
"Hogwarts Library."
