His magic was drained in an instant.
Blood spurted high into the air and splattered all over Hoffa's head. The Dark Wizard who was holding onto Hoffa staggered back. He fell to his knees with a thud. His wand fell limply from his right hand.
He touched his chest tightly, only to find that there was also a huge cut on his neck. A huge wound stretched from his lower abdomen all the way to his forehead, cutting his face diagonally in half.
He glared at Hoffa with his only eye, his lips opened and closed, but he could only make muffled sounds.
The feeling of having his magic drained made Hoffa's lips pale. He stumbled to his feet and backed up continuously, leaning against a tree trunk to prevent himself from falling.
"Trash."
Schmidt didn't retreat but advanced instead. He kicked away his injured companion and pointed directly at Hoffa. "Heart Piercing Bone!"
A cruel red light shot out like lightning.
Hoffa's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, but at this moment, he didn't want to retreat at all. After overcoming his fear, an inexplicable strength in his bones supported him to stand up.
He watched as Schmidt spat on the ground and actually rushed towards the Heart Piercing Curse with his sword.
Even if he had to die, he had to kill the other party first.
Schmidt also didn't expect a boy to be so fierce, but he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down. He stood in place with a cold expression.
Hoffa raised his sword.
His face was illuminated by the magic spell, which made his face red.
But at this moment, an old oak tree beside him suddenly came to life.
It pulled its sword out of the ground, jumped up, and landed between Hoffa and Schmidt. Two huge branches intersected each other.
The Heart Piercing Curse was completely blocked by the huge tree trunk.
Huo Fa bumped into the tree trunk with a loud thud, causing him to feel dizzy.
Schmidt put down his wand and slowly took a step back.
Hoffa turned around with a pale face.
He saw an old man in a gray robe standing at the entrance of the forbidden forest. He was tall and had a reddish-brown beard.
It was Dumbledore.
Schmidt was expressionless. He raised his wand and decisively shot a bolt of blue lightning at Dumbledore. Dumbledore spun his cloak and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Schmidt. The surrounding trees came to life one after another. Wherever he stepped, trees would rise from the ground.
The huge Oak Treant slowly placed Hoffa on the ground and pressed down with one hand.
Countless tree branches pierced into the ground and began to grow wildly. As the soil surged, countless small treants emerged from the ground.
They held wooden swords in their hands, and their eyes emitted a dark green light.
The active treants had surrounded Schmidt in layers, leaving no room for him to escape.
This scene made Hoffa's heart beat wildly. This was the true Transformation Technique!
Schmidt narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Abusi Dumbledore."
"It's me. I didn't expect you to be so impatient," Dumbledore said calmly. "The war hasn't started yet. Are you in a hurry to go to prison?"
As he spoke, he casually waved his wand.
Golden light burst out, and the night was as bright as day. The fluctuating magic power in the air made Hoffa, who was hiding behind the Ents, feel his scalp tingle.
Under that spell, Schmidt's face was solemn. He waved his wand.
Rows of metal shields appeared in front of him, but the shields couldn't stop the golden light from penetrating.
At the moment of crisis, Schmidt reached out and grabbed Aglaia, who had fainted by the tree.
He used Aglaia as a human shield.
Dumbledore immediately waved his wand upwards.
The golden curse with extremely strong penetrative power turned and cut through several thick tree trunks before disappearing into the Forbidden Forest.
"Schmidt, have you fallen to this extent? What a pity. "Dumbledore said with emotion," I thought you were cuter in the past. "
"For a bright future, necessary personal sacrifices are essential." Schmidt said lightly, "Only by abandoning the old self can we embrace a bright new life. Don't you understand this? "
Dumbledore sighed.
"Yes, I understand. But to come to Hogwarts with two companions and a group of magical creatures, isn't that a little too arrogant? "
With that, he waved his wand like lightning.
A sharp stone wall shot up from the ground. The cutting surface was like a blade, and in the blink of an eye, Schmidt's arm was cut off.
Schmidt's arm flew up with Aglaia. Dumbledore opened his arms and grabbed his wand with one hand and the unconscious Aglaia with the other.
Schmidt, who had lost his arm, smiled and without hesitation, turned around and ran.
Vines crazily rushed out from the ground and tied Schmidt up like a dumpling.
In less than a few seconds, everything was over.
Of course, this was only Hoffa's thought. After Dumbledore slowly put Aglaia down, his expression didn't relax at all.
Schmidt, who was wrapped up by the vines, suddenly twisted and collapsed. Under Hoffa's shocked gaze, he turned into a transparent, soft, multi-tentacled jellyfish and collapsed on the ground.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
"A substitute jellyfish." Dumbledore muttered and put down his wand.
"I should have thought of it."
Then, he put away his wand and carried Aglaia to Hoffa's side.
At this moment, Hoffa's hanging heart finally relaxed. Dumbledore's arrival relieved him of the crisis of death. But at the same time, it also brought another crisis.
What kind of punishment would he face after entering the Forbidden Forest?
Would he be expelled?
Dumbledore stood in front of Hoffa and looked down at him with a pair of blue eyes. For a moment, he didn't speak. That expression made Hoffa a little uncomfortable.
"Very brave, but also reckless. I really didn't expect to meet you here." Dumbledore said slowly.
Hoffa didn't know how to explain, so he didn't say anything.
Dumbledore asked sternly, "Do you still have strength?"
Hoffa nodded silently.
"Take her back and go to the school hospital to find Dr. Reiner. I'll take care of things here. "
After saying that, he handed the unconscious Aglaia to Hoffa.
…
…
Five minutes later.
Hoffa carried the unconscious Aglaia out of the Forbidden Forest and walked toward the school's castle, panting.
Along the way, he saw that the castle was brightly lit. The deans of each school quickly rushed to the scene of the incident with their teachers and class leaders.
Hoffa saw Gryffindor's Professor Mellors, Slytherin's Professor Slughorn, and Hufflepuff's Professor Herbergh. Only Professor Ghoshak and Headmaster Dippet were not there.
Hoffa went around the crowd and carried Aglaia back to the castle through a small path.
On the lawn of the castle, the students of each school were laughing and playing with each other, enjoying the leisure time after the end of the day.
The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and dried grass. The cool breeze in the late autumn night was a stark contrast to the soul-stirring tragedy outside.
They didn't know anything about what happened in the Forbidden Forest. They also didn't know that less than 20 kilometers away from them, an entire horseman tribe had been slaughtered.
But their happiness didn't affect Hoffa. Hoffa was full of worry. He didn't know how Joey was doing. He didn't know what would happen to Aglaia, and he didn't know where his fate would lead.
The school's hospital had a special tower that was very far from the main building. It was on the east side of the castle.
When Hoffa walked to the school's hospital, his legs were already weak from exhaustion. Due to the overdraft of magic, his head hurt as if it had been split open by a giant axe.
Fortunately, the school's nurse had received the news in advance and ran over to pick him up from afar.
In his past life, he only knew that Madam Pomfrey was the school doctor at Hogwarts, but Huo Fa hadn't seen her yet. Perhaps Madam Pomfrey was still studying or doing her internship at a hospital.
The person in charge of the school's hospital was a tall old man called Reiner. He had white hair and wore a mask.
He just checked Aglaia's breathing and turned to the nurse. "Prepare an isolation room. Bring these two in and disinfect them."
Hoffa said, "I'm not poisoned."
But Dr. Reiner didn't mean to pay attention to him. He just glared at him.
After going through a series of embarrassing disinfection and physical examinations, Hoffa was put into a public ward.
He didn't suffer much physical damage. What really hurt was his spirit. The sick excitement caused by the continuous overdraft of magic made him unable to sleep peacefully for two days.
In these two days, he had a good understanding of the feeling of loneliness. In his previous life, he saw that Harry would also be injured, but every time he was injured, a large group of friends would come to see him.
Hoffa, on the other hand, just sat on the bed for two days. In these two days, except for a few nurses who changed his bandages and gave him some liquid food. He didn't see anyone.
Fortunately, he had Milareba's meditation, which could constantly repair the mental damage caused by the overdraft of magic, so this period of time was not so difficult.
It wasn't until two days later that Miranda and a few roommates came to see Hoffa.
They brought some candies and chocolate frogs for Hoffa. Miranda was shocked by Hoffa's injury and said that the school blocked the news of his injury. No one knew what happened in the forbidden forest two nights ago.
Compared to the nervous Miranda, the other two roommates seemed to be more concerned about Aglaia's news than Hoffa's health.
Miranda asked Hoffa what happened in the forbidden forest, but Hoffa instinctively didn't want anyone to know what happened that night.
So he played it down and said that he just fell off the horse and forgot everything after that. This made Miranda very sad.
"Hey, Hoffa, you're always so mysterious," Miranda said.
Hoffa didn't know how to answer, so he used the excuse of sleeping to send his friends away. He saw a disappointed expression on Miranda's face when she left.
That night, Hoffa slept a little better.
The next day, when the sun shone into the hospital ward again, he saw that Aglaia had already left the emergency room and was lying on the bed on his right. Deep sleep.
And to his relief, Joey was lying on the bed on his left.
Although his face was purple and his expression was painful. But at least his life was not in danger.
"You're awake?"
Hoffa had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a voice beside him.
He was shocked.
Only then did he realize that there was a person sitting on the visitation chair beside him.
Because the chair was in the shadow, he didn't see it just now.
It was Dumbledore.
