142 Chapter 7, Self

It has been almost a month since Hoffa agreed to Aglaia at the beginning of the summer vacation in mid-June and came to St. Mungo for an internship.

The room assigned to him by the hospital was in an old dormitory building of St. Mungo's Hospital. Under a huge sloping tile roof, hundreds of standard-room rooms are arranged in sequence along the gossip-shaped corridor.

The window in the room is very narrow and high, and it is a double room, and the wooden floor rattles when stepped on.

The brick floor below is also full of potholes, and even in broad daylight the corridors are dark and dotted. The deep staff dormitory corridors in the hospital make Hoffa feel the excitement of cave exploration every time he comes back.

Occasionally, little nurses who live here come out with pots to pour water or fetch water to brush their teeth. They are dressed casually, and their exposed thighs in summer are like smooth white porcelain in the dark, which makes people imagine.

But without exception, seeing the golden eyes and the thin figure emerging from the corridor, those little nurses would hurry back into the room like frightened rabbits. It seemed that the figure carried a kind of aura that strangers should not get close to.

Hoffa didn't deliberately alienate these neighbors, he was just let down by Aglaia.

He opened the door and sat on the bed in the dark.

After a while, the eyes became familiar with the darkness. The scene in the bedroom gradually became clear, and the hospital lights outside the window shone into the room, casting a few pale orange spots across the top of the bedroom.

A boxy room with neat wooden desks, white-painted wardrobes, and a few drawings of human anatomy and fire safety spells on the walls.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on the bed with big characters.

The hustle and bustle of the theater gradually receded from him. The sound of insects came to the ears, even through the silent spell set by the wizard, the air defense siren outside was faintly visible.

There was a hospital-specific formalin smell in the air.

He knew where the smell was coming from. The isolated rooms at the other end of this group of one-story dormitories are the dissection rooms of the hospital.

There were three huge pools of corpses in those rooms, filled with dozens of corpses of men and women, ranging from soldiers shot dead by the Muggle army to wizards killed by curses, of all identities and ages. There are also a large number of deformed babies and organs that have died in jars and filled the display racks.

For the sake of systematic exploration, Hoffa explored there, but he was kicked out after a short exploration. This is not a peaceful place, nor is it a peaceful age.

In London in 1940, the world war was in full swing.

There is no mobile phone in this day and age, and he has nothing extra to do. After squinting for a while, he realized that he didn't want to sleep, so he turned over and sat up, and came to the table.

There are a lot of newspapers spread out on the table, these are the daily prophets of the recent period, and most of the contents of the newspapers are related to the war.

Hoffa picked it up and doubled it, Gringotts declared bankruptcy, and Diagon Alley closed. On the front page of another page of the newspaper, a big message was extremely eye-catching.

"The ship sank in the North Sea, the evil wizard murdered and robbed."

Beneath the title, Hoffa can see a bearded figure carrying a suitcase, eyes cynical, lustful and fiery.

[The evil wizard Norbert Hagrid recently plundered and ransacked the Far East Royal Mary near the waters of Azkaban, killing five people and seriously injuring ten.

The Wizengamot and Azkaban issued wanted arrests at the same time, and Norbert Hagrid was hunted down throughout the territory, regardless of life or death]

"It's really courageous to rob in the waters of Azkaban."

Hoffa grunted and turned the page blankly.

This page is a recruitment page.

[Recruitment for Alchemy Gun Assembly.]

【Recruitment of the International Dragon Conservation Association.】

【Household nanny, immigration service, one-stop service】

After flipping through the newspaper for a while, the bored Hoffa put down the newspaper, got up and went to the bathroom in the corridor. He took out the toothpaste and began to brush his teeth, absently brushing his teeth while looking at the dirty mirror in the dimly lit hallway.

The boy in the mirror is much taller than last year, with several scars on his upper body and lean muscles. Thirteen years old, he has short gray hair, pale golden pupils, and a silver earring on his ear.

He brushed his teeth lazily, thinking about some messy things in his mind.

Gringotts is closed and Diagon Alley is closed. This year's St. Mungo's Hospital, the exploration rate is less than 20%. The place is too big, not to mention that the interior of the hospital has not been explored, and even hundreds of rooms in a dormitory building are unlikely to be entered one by one.

During the one-month vacation, he hadn't discovered any new wizarding secrets at all. Every day, he was entangled with some trivial matters.

This made Hoffa very disappointed. What is even more exasperating is that this disappointment has not yet been expressed.

"Why don't you resign"

The man in the mirror said, "Do what you want to do."

"Can't resign."

Hoffa muttered while brushing his teeth, "I promised others."

"If you promise, you can go back on it."

The person in the mirror persuaded, "You are the most important thing."

"Not so good."

"It's not my style to backtrack," Hoffa said.

"What's my style?"

asked the man in the mirror.

"What's my style?"

After brushing his teeth, Hoffa opened his mouth sluggishly, as if he was stunned by the person in the mirror asking, "I probably am."

Bang!

Bang! !

The sound of metal hitting the ground brought Hoffa back to his senses, and he turned his head sharply. A metal pot lid rolled to my feet. It turned out that a female nurse next door knocked over the pot.

She is squatting on the ground in a hurry to clean up. She has red curly hair, is wearing slippers, and the pink hot pants under the loose shirt look a bit erotic.

Sensing Hoffa's gaze, she frantically stroked her hair, revealing her tiny earlobes and freckled neck.

Hoffa subconsciously wanted to help her clean up the kettle, but accidentally touched the other's fingers. The female nurse looked at him in horror, and withdrew her hand like an electric shock.

From her point of view, although the boy who brushed his teeth looked good, with a mysterious and profound aura, but those golden eyes were like blazing flames, just looking at it made her heart tremble and feel tingling.

And she didn't like this kind of sting, it made her feel humble, and made her feel as if she had been seen through, from body to soul, exposed at a glance.

"sorry."

She immediately withdrew her hand, wanting to apologize.

"It's all right."

Hoffa lowered his eyes. He knew that his eyes were a bit strange, and few people would look directly at them. He silently filled the teapot and handed it to the other party.

After he lowered his eyes, the female nurse heaved a sigh of relief and took the kettle. At the same time, she asked curiously:

"Who were you talking to just now?"

"I?"

Hoffa was taken aback, turned his head to look in the mirror, and the self in the dirty mirror looked at him with puzzled eyes.

He scratched his head and smiled wryly, he was really dazed, it was really boring to look at the mirror and talk to himself. However, this is not the first time. Since the incident last year, he has often felt a vague sense of loneliness. Sometimes it's missing my wand, sometimes it's just plain boring.

"Nothing. I was talking to myself."

Hoffa comforted, "Go back early."

After speaking, he turned on the faucet, dipped his hands in the water, and began to wash his face, never looking at each other again.

The female nurse who fetched water let out an oh, and splashed water from the faucet beside her.

Maybe it was Hoffa's gentleness that made her relax a lot, maybe it was because she had nothing to do when fetching water, she began to carefully look at the face-washing boy beside her.

Although the other party's face was a little childish and thin, and he was not tall, his body was like a Greek sculpture, with sharp muscles, no trace of excess or fat, only a few slender scars.

Not only did the scar not destroy his beauty, but it made him look like an adult man. She took a closer look at him, who had gray hair and a silver earring on his ear.

He was showering with cool water, no mist, and the water was running over him in the dim light. A drop of water splashed after washing his face dripped from the earrings onto his neck, and then slid from the neck to his slightly protruding Adam's apple, adding a strange charm to this peculiar boy.

For a moment, the female nurse twisted her long legs, and she was completely bewildered. This teenager was more mysterious and sexier than anyone she had ever met. If it is in the animal group, he must be the leader of the male animals.

The nurse took a deep breath, not even knowing that the water in the pot was overflowing, she thought to herself that it would be nice to have a cigarette at this time. She took another breath slowly, her heart beating faster.

On the other side, Hoffa rubbed his face, turned his head with a wet face, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you."

Turning her head, she felt the sharp insight of those golden eyes again. She didn't look back immediately.

"nothing."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed the kettle in a panic, turned her head and walked back.

After taking a step, she turned around with some reluctance and asked, "Well, I live in 117A, would you like a cup of tea?"

Hoffa was punching his head by the pool. Hearing this, he turned his head slightly in surprise, and said lightly: "Oh, no, thank you. I'm going to rest, let's go another day."

"Okay, okay."

The nurse nodded dryly.

Turn around and quickly disappear into the corridor.

After she disappeared.

Hoffa looked up in the empty corridor.

The person in the mirror grinned and said, "Huh, drinking tea, it's really interesting."
