When Hoffa returned to the school hall, all the students were asleep. The students from the four departments didn't return to the common room. They were sleeping in their sleeping bags on the floor.
This scene was surprisingly similar to the scene when Sirius invaded the school in the future, but the nature was worse than that time.
On the ceiling, the dark nebula slowly rotated, and some green lines that looked like eyes flashed.
The only light source in the entire hall was the Hogwarts Orb in the center of the hall. It rotated slowly, and the dense light seemed to be squeezed by the darkness, dim and weak.
It didn't provide any protection at all.
Countless Aura teachers patrolled back and forth around the tower and the hall, and even the floating ghosts maintained a vigilant look.
But no one knew how that scary guy entered the school, and Hoffa couldn't figure it out at all.
There were sentries outside the school that even trains couldn't enter, and the entire forbidden forest was strictly guarded by Aura. Even the secret passages inside the school were sealed by the school teachers, and this year, the students weren't even allowed to go to Hogsmeade.
That guy, how did he get in?
Hoffa used Ghost Walk to pass a group of patrolling Aura and came to his two friends. His steps were very light, and he didn't wake anyone up.
But Aglaia wasn't asleep at the moment. Her blue eyes flickered in the darkness, and when she saw Hoffa coming, she immediately sat up from the ground and wanted to talk.
"Shh."
Hoffa looked at the sleeping people around and signaled her to be quiet.
"Did you get the result?"
In the darkness, Aglaia whispered exaggeratedly.
Hoffa shook his head.
Aglaia was anxious: "How could this be, who is that, how did he know where I hid it, if it's not Slytherin …"
"Shh."
Hoffa shook his head and signaled Aglaia to be quiet.
When she quieted down, Hoffa whispered in her ear.
"Is that also a key?"
"What are you talking about?"
Aglaia rubbed her hair, her chest was violently moving up and down, she was very excited.
"Your bracelet?"
"What are you talking about? What key? "
Hoffa pondered for a moment.
"Nothing."
In the darkness, several Aura walked past.
Hoffa pulled Aglaia to lie down.
Aura patrolled slowly, her eyes sweeping across the row of sleeping bags on the ground. His slender body slowly disappeared into the darkness.
When the footsteps disappeared, Hoffa turned to look at Aglaia's blue eyes. She was also looking at him in the dark.
"I'm a little scared, Hoffa."
She whispered.
If it was any other time, Hoffa would have ridiculed her. But now, he patted the back of her hand.
"It's alright."
Then, he let go of his hand and sat up. He got up and walked through the sleeping bags on the ground.
Ghost Stroll disappeared into the dark hall.
Hoffa knew the location of Ossivia's office. Even if he didn't want to know, he was forced to know. Because his roommates had long been familiar with the teacher's daily whereabouts. They would talk about the female teacher for a while every night.
Her office was located in the basement, next to Slytherin's common room. There was a rumor that Dumbledore wanted to give her his sunny office on the third floor, but she refused. She said that she was not acclimatized.
Hoffa looked at his watch. It was almost one o 'clock in the morning. He wasn't sure if Ossivia would be in the office.
He stood outside the door and hesitated for a moment, but still knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Almost at the moment he knocked on the door, a faint female voice came from inside.
The door handle on the office creaked open automatically. Hoffa saw a spiral staircase that went straight underground. There was a faint sound of water inside.
Hoffa walked down slowly. This was the longest spiral staircase he had ever walked, and it went down.
After walking down more than ten meters of spiral staircase, in the darkness, the gurgling sound of water became louder.
Her office was different from Slughorn's. This was a standard Slytherin office.
The office was dark and dull. The furnishings inside were simple.
There was a glass wall in the office. Outside the glass wall, there was a bottomless black lake. In the lake, the faint moonlight was the only source of light in this underground office. In the lake, there were some faint shadows swimming in it.
After his eyes got used to the darkness, he saw a huge statue of a snake head on the wall.
A spring of water gushed out from the mouth of the statue and dripped into the pool.
Ossivia sat cross-legged on the snake's head. She seemed to have blended into the darkness of the background. If it wasn't for the faint green light in her eyes, Hoffa wouldn't have been able to recognize her.
This water snake nest made Hoffa instinctively uncomfortable.
"I heard about what happened in your common room."
Ossivia said softly, "It's scary."
Her voice was a little muffled by the sound of the spring.
Hoffa didn't say anything. He just looked up at her.
Ossivia said, "You came to me. Does that mean you've made up your mind?"
Hoffa took a few steps sideways. "I can be your assistant. Not only to watch, but also to find that person."
"That's not why I came to you," Ossivia said indifferently.
"That's my goal," Hoffa said. "Not only that, I have another condition."
"What?"
"I want to know everything. I need you to tell me everything about the Half-Human King and why he appeared in Ravenclaw Tower."
"Sorry, I can't answer your question. I don't know the so-called Half-Human King, and I don't know his identity."
"Didn't you fight him before?"
"That's right, but I failed. I didn't get any information from that fight. But I'm sure that he's not a wizard. "
"Then what can you tell me?"
Osivia slid down from the snake statue silently and walked to Huo Fa's side. Sticking close to his face, he looked into Huo Fa's pale golden eyes.
"I can take you to the Forbidden Library. No matter what that guy wants to do, his goal is the Forbidden Library. As long as we find the library, we can set up an inescapable net there. No matter how strong the opponent is, they won't be able to fight against hundreds or thousands of Aura. "
Hoffa was silent for a moment.
"What about after killing him? What will you do? Get the knowledge in the library? "
"I don't care." Ossivia shook her head.
Hoffa said, "Do you care about those ambitious people in England? Do you care what they'll do with the endless forbidden books?"
Ossivia shook her head. "I don't care. This world is chaotic and crazy. With or without the library, those ambitious people won't disappear."
"That's true."
Hoffa sighed and reached out his hand.
"I hope we can have the same goal this time."
Ossivia's cold hand grabbed Hoffa's hand. When she let go, Hoffa felt something hard in his hand.
He looked down. It was a silver sign in the shape of a snake. A row of small words was engraved on it: Transfiguration Assistant Professor.
"I'll wait for you in front of the library after school at six o 'clock tomorrow." Ossivia said.
"Which library?"
