As they talked, the two came to the edge of the black lake in the school.
The winter of 1939 was really cold, the temperature was about -20 degrees Celsius, so cold that Hoffa even missed the greenhouse climate of the future.
At this moment, the black lake was completely frozen, the ice surface was like quenched steel, indestructible.
Standing at the edge of the frozen lake, Hoffa could see the bright white moon in the mountains in the distance. Under the white moon, the entire world appeared to be a dull gray.
When he read novels in his previous life, he didn't feel it, but when he came to reality, Hoffa felt the vastness of the lake, it was at least a few dozen kilometers in area.
"Where are the ancient people buried?" Hoffa tilted his head and asked.
"The island in the middle of the lake," Ossivia pointed at an almost invisible dot in the distance and asked, "Do you know how to skate?"
"What?"
Hoffa was shocked.
"We can skate there."
Ossivia said calmly, "It's too slow to walk there."
"I know how to skate."
Hoffa said dryly.
Ossivia stepped on the ice with the tip of her foot, and suddenly, a sharp ice blade appeared under her black leather boots. This made her, who was already very tall, look even taller.
Seeing the ice blade, Hoffa facepalmed.
"Okay, I don't know how to."
"I'll teach you, once you learn, our speed will increase a lot."
Ossivia squatted down and pointed her wand at Hoffa's feet.
The ice blade appeared under Hoffa's feet, and he immediately grew about a centimeter taller.
Ossivia waved her wand again, and the snow on the lake scattered to the sides, revealing the smooth ice surface.
She stepped on the ice and said to Hoffa.
"Come on."
Seeing her walk so easily, Hoffa thought it shouldn't be difficult, so he walked on the ice.
However, in the next second, he fell to the ground and slid to Ossivia's feet with his butt. It was as if he had stepped on soap while running in the bathhouse.
Ossivia's lips twitched, and he said, "As someone with Asian blood, your balance is too bad."
"I'm not Russian."
Hoffa sat on the ground and angrily grabbed a snowball and threw it at him.
"Russia?"
Ossivia slid to the left and dodged the snowball with ease. "What are you talking about? Technically, I'm Ukrainian. "
"Is there a difference?" Hoffa got up. "They are both from the Soviet Union."
He wobbled and carefully took a step forward on his skates.
This time, he swayed again and lost his balance. He stretched out his legs and was about to fall. Ossivia quickly floated over and grabbed Hoffa's arm.
"You don't seem to be good at anything other than shapeshifting."
She sized up Hoffa with a scrutinizing look.
"Shut up."
Hoffa struggled to get up and pushed Ossivia away. "You speak as if you can learn it on your first try."
Dong!!
After taking two steps forward, Huo Fa fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Ten minutes later, after paying the price of falling more than ten times, Hoffa, who was covered in snow, finally managed to stand up. He bent down, opened his hands, and walked on the ice without any sense of beauty.
Ossivia slowly kicked her legs next to him, leaving marks on the ice like a swan. Her long black hair slowly swayed behind her head, and the white snow scattered under her feet.
She seemed to be in a good mood today. Maybe it was because she found a clue, or maybe it was because watching Hoffa wrestle was interesting, but she was more talkative than usual.
"Do you want me to help you?" she said. "I'll help you a lot faster."
Hoffa said, "You're helping me by not talking."
"I have a younger brother. You look like him."
Ossivia suddenly said.
"Wow, it's an honor," Hoffa said.
"Stubborn, arrogant, but not bad in nature," Ossivia said.
"He's in Durmstrom?" Hoffa asked, stumbling.
"He's dead."
Hoffa almost fell down.
"I'm sorry," Hoffa said.
"It's okay. It's been a long time. I've almost forgotten what he looked like."
Ossivia's voice lowered, and she returned to her usual cold and serious look.
The two skated forward for a while. Hoffa gradually became familiar with the ice skating technique and sped up a little. He could finally straighten his back a little.
"What about your family?"
Seeing that Ossivia didn't speak, Hoffa asked again, "Except for my father and younger brother."
"And a few uncles from afar."
As they spoke, the two moved away from the lake shore, and the outline of the Hogwarts tower gradually faded.
"What about your mother? Did she trust you to come to England?"
"She's dead. When she gave birth to my brother, don't ask irrelevant questions."
"Hmm."
Hoffa gradually became familiar with the ice skating technique, and he could almost walk on the lake normally. But the corner of his eyes was locked on Ossivia's face.
She noticed his gaze.
"Focus on work," Ossivia emphasized.
At this moment, a light flashed behind him, and a few seconds later, there was a faint explosion.
Hoffa turned his head and found that the Hogwarts castle had started to set off Christmas fireworks. Some colorful explosions in the distance added some color to the white and gray world.
Hoffa thought for a moment, pointed behind him and said, "Look, the fireworks are in the shape of a snake."
Ossivia turned around and didn't find the so-called snake fireworks. These fireworks were ordinary balls.
She said, "No, hmm."
When she turned her head, she saw that Hoffa suddenly grabbed the snow on the ice and put it on his face. He smiled and said, "Merry Christmas, Senior."
Ossivia, whose face was covered in snow, was stunned on the spot. Her face was covered in snow, and even her entire bun had been messed up by Hoffa.
Her expression twitched a few times, and then, the dancing snow gathered into a ball in her hand. She threw the snowball back at Hoffa's face and said calmly, "Call me Professor."
Hoffa touched the snow on his face and took a deep breath. He controlled the snow around him with his mental force field and turned it into a snowball that floated around him.
"No, only brilliant people can be respectfully called Professor."
With that, he snapped his fingers, and dozens of snowballs flew toward Ossivia like lightning.
Ossivia stepped on the ice and moved more than twenty meters horizontally, dodging the snowballs.
But Hoffa's mental force field still controlled the snowballs and chased after her like a homing missile.
Ossivia shook her head with a smile. "Too weak."
With that, all the snowballs Zizi exploded in the air and turned into snowflakes.
Hoffa's mental force field was blocked by her, and then, the dancing snowflakes quickly turned into a huge snowball under her control.
"Uh …"
Hoffa looked at the snowball that had formed in the air, stumbled a few steps back, and entered a state of meditation.
The snow around him suddenly spread out and gathered in front of him, forming a thick wall of snow in the blink of an eye.
Boom!!
The huge snowball that was almost two meters in diameter crashed into the wall of snow, forming a huge avalanche.
Huo Fa laughed, and the pile of snow seemed to come alive. It turned into a fat snowman that was six meters tall, and it ran towards Ossivia with loud thuds.
Ossivia narrowed her eyes, and the fat snowman's legs suddenly broke. It rolled on the ground and began to fall apart. She blocked Hoffa's transformation again.
Hoffa put his palms together, and the snowmen scattered on the ground quickly turned into little snowmen the size of house elves, and there were dozens of them.
They rolled up snowballs one by one and threw them at Ossivia.
But when the snowballs hit Ossivia's body, they passed through her without any hindrance.
It was just an illusion.
"Oh."
Hoffa, who realized that he had hit the illusion, ran away, and the real Ossivia rushed over from the other side.
Hoffa made a sharp turn and stumbled as he began his escape across the ice. At first, Hoffa's speed was barely enough to keep a distance from Ossivia, but soon, he was caught up by the extremely fast Ossivia.
While gliding at high speed, she firmly grasped Huo Fa's shoulder. Standing on one leg, she kicked Hoffa's calf with her other leg, and Hoffa staggered and fell to the ground. Ossivia raised an eyebrow and let go.
But Huo Fa reacted quickly and grabbed her forearm.
Ossivia's expression changed.
Huo Fa laughed heartily. When he fell to the ground, he also pulled her to the ground. On the frozen lake, the two of them rolled several times on the ice before coming to a stop.
Hoffa was pressed against the snow.
Ossivia suddenly straightened up. Covered in snow, she panted and puffed out white smoke. She pressed on Hoffa's shoulder and straightened up. "You have to call me Professor."
"That won't do, Senior Sister," Hoffa said with a smile. You only won in skating, not in transformation. "
At this moment, Ossivia's black hair fell messily on Hoffa's face. She shook her head and said, "I didn't use my full strength."
"Neither did I. Besides, I'm six years younger than you."
Hoffa tilted his head. "Were you stronger than me when you were twelve?"
Ossivia was stunned and then slowly shook her head. "I learned Animagus when I was thirteen."
"Ha, that's all."
Hoffa sneezed. "By the way, your hair is in my nose."
"That's all."
Ossivia flipped her hair and stared at Hoffa, the dimples on her face gradually disappeared.
"Merry Christmas, Hoffa, Bach."
"You make it sound nice, but you always look depressed."
After a moment of silence, Ossivia straightened up and knelt on the snow. She looked into the distance and asked, "Do you believe in ghosts?"
"Ghosts? Are you referring to specters? There are many in school. "
"In the past year," Ossivia interrupted Hoffa.
"When I think of my family again. Sometimes I even think that they were actually spared a lot of things. Wars, conspiracies, and killings. Sometimes I'm glad. When they left, they didn't suffer. "
"Ahem." Hoffa didn't know how to continue. He could only cough twice.
"Uh, I think I'd better concentrate on work."
Crack.
A strange cracking sound came to his ears.
Huo Fa tilted his head to take a look. For some reason, a small crack had appeared on the ice beside his face.
Eh?
Hoffa was stunned.
Immediately after, the veined pattern turned from one to two, two to four, four to eight. Cracking sounds could be heard incessantly as cracks spread out like a spider web at an extremely fast speed.
With a sweep of his mental force field, Hoffa lay on the ice and looked back at Ossivia.
"Senior, can you swim?"
"What?"
Hoffa said with a pale face, "This ice is only five centimeters thick."
As soon as he said that, the ice behind him suddenly shattered.
Huo Fa's entire body fell into the dark lake below in an instant.
