Harry Potter: I Am a Legend

The disappearance of Ruber Hagrid made Hoffa feel the uncertainty of the future. Where did he go? Will there be any danger, his father will come back later?

History seems to be moving in a completely unfamiliar direction.

He thought of the meeting he had with Hagrid during the summer vacation. If he had promised Aglaia to take Hagrid away, maybe he should be here at this moment...

Dumbledore ended the conversation without waiting for Hoffado to think about Ruber Hagrid's whereabouts, and he took the four prefects into the auditorium.

Compared with last year's solemnity, this year's auditorium environment has become a lot more vibrant. In the past, the auditorium was just a brazier that was not very bright. It was only brightly lit when the headmaster Armando Dupete spoke.

But now, thousands of candles floating in the air illuminate the auditorium. On the four tables were glittering gold plates and goblets. There is another long table on the upper stage of the auditorium, which is the seat of the teachers.

This is a bit close to the romantic feeling of the original.

Classmates from other grades of the college are already sitting around four long tables.

After entering the auditorium, Dumbledore gave Hoffa a gesture to wait for his signal, and then led the students to the sorting cap.

Hoffa saw an empty seat at the Ravenclaw table beside Miranda and Aglaia, and was about to sit there.

But at this moment, Sherlock Bohan, the prefect of the Ravenclaw House, quickly stepped forward, passed Hoffa, sat in that position, and glanced at him with the corner of the eye.

Hoffa was slightly stunned.

Aglaia lowered her head in silence, and Miranda frowned slightly.

Before Hoffa could say anything, he heard someone calling himself.

"Hoffa, here."

Turning around, it turned out that it was his roommate William.

He excitedly waved his arms at Hoffa, and pointed at an empty seat beside him.

Hoffa nodded and sat down, the corner of his eyes still looked at the uninvited prefect, what kind of medicine did this guy sell in the gourd?

William took Hoffa to sit down, patted his shoulder excitedly, and said to the people around him: "This is my roommate, Hoffabach who released the shield curse, how about it, he doesn't like to talk, but he But a real transformative master..."

Like a salesman, he talked with the few Ravenclaws next to him, and all kinds of privacy exposures emerged endlessly. He was familiar with Hoffa and had the best relationship, and he became his iron buddy.

Looking at another roommate, Antonio, sitting in the corner, with an expression of envy and hope in his eyes, but he dared not approach him.

Hoffa very much hoped that Principal Armando Dippet could stand up, growl quietly as usual, and restrain this somewhat showy roommate.

But no, the principal, Armando Dippet, sat in a daze, looking at the golden cup in front of him, his eyes a little lost.

He has completely lost the energy of last year, and at this moment he has completely become a dying old man. Last year, Silby's blaming made him suffer, and he quickly consumed the passion of his life.

He no longer stopped chatting with students, whispering constantly in the auditorium, and no one even went to the sorting ceremony seriously.

Finally, among the whispering voices of the four courtyards, the sorting ceremony that not too many people cared about ended.

The vice-principal Dumbledore stood under the giant eagle statue, coughed twice, and talked a little softer. He clapped his hands again, and his surroundings finally calmed down.

Dumbledore: "This year is a very difficult year. There is no need to say anything about the war outside. Those who can still come to school at this time, I think, have extraordinary courage."

The people at Gryffindor's table nodded pretentiously.

Slytherin just looked at him coldly.

Neither Ravenclaw nor Hufflepuff had any expressions.

Dumbledore on the podium glanced at Hoffa. Hoffa felt something twisted in his stomach. Should he come?

Sure enough, Dumbledore said again: "But before the banquet, I would like to invite the outstanding students who have protected this school and released the legendary shield curse, Hoffa Bach. Come and read for us the changes and changes in the school this year. arrangement."

At this moment, everyone's eyes pierced the Ravenclaw table like a spotlight.

Let a third-grade student speak at the opening banquet. This is an arrangement that has never happened, and it has never happened. In the past few decades, this kind of thing was done by the principal. But this year, the principal has been completely reduced to a display. He just raised his head and glanced at Hoffa, then dropped his head again.

Hoffa stood up in silence, he had no room for rejection.

Applause broke out at the Ravenclaw table.

The applause moved the other tables, and at the same time began to applaud.

Although not grand, but somewhat sincere.

He stepped forward without looking at the gaze from either side. He knew that everyone around him was looking at him, but he tried not to think about it.

He stood under the giant eagle statue, Dumbledore gave him the place to speak, his hands dropped naturally, standing next to Hoffa, and lightly chanting the spell: "Mirror of Shadows."

Several rays of light projected from under Hoffa's feet, shining on the ceiling and the walls on all sides.

His face appeared on all four walls, like a projector of the future, even clearer and more magical than that. Even his somewhat disordered breathing sound was amplified exponentially.

At this time, he could no longer escape, and Hoffa had the courage to make contact with those eyes, trying to understand their desire.

At that moment.

Hundreds of faces staring at him are like shimmering lanterns. The ghosts were also mingled with the students with a hazy silver light. He saw Aglaia with his head down, Miranda with a worried face, Tom Riddle with sharp and gloomy eyes in a wheelchair, and he saw...

Everything.

He was speechless.

Although he had ordered others when he opened the shop in London, it was basically two people face to face. He has almost never done it before facing so many people at the same time. Haven't done it in two lifetimes.

He was speechless for about ten seconds.

Dumbledore bent down and whispered in his ear: "This is the Mirror of the Shadow, you don't need to worry about it, just talk about it."

After being reminded, Hoffa reacted.

He stretched out his arms, took out the parchment, and read word by word: "In the past year, we have experienced crazy thugs, terrible wars, and economic collapse. Gossip, we are afraid of social rifts and the future. Corroded by darkness.

But we are still working hard, continue to learn, and will make breakthroughs in many areas. Now, the most important thing for us is to have self-confidence, trust in our own strength, trust in our school, trust in the glory of human nature..."

After reading these scenes dryly, Hoffa turned a page of parchment and saw the row of ink stains. He was taken aback for a moment. After two seconds, he slowly read it out.

"This year, the transformation teacher at Hogwarts will be the dean of St. Mungo's Witchcraft and Wizardry Hospital, Jacob Bohan."

Dumbledore took the lead and began to applaud.

An elegant middle-aged man wearing a purple scarf slowly walked out of the doorway behind the classroom desk. With a smile on his face, he bowed in all directions, and his manners were impeccably perfect.

The students in the underground also burst into regular and rhythmic applause.

He finished bowing and stepped forward to shook hands with Principal Dippet. Principal Dippet shook his imaginary shook with a senseless expression.

After shaking his hands, he greeted Dumbledore, stretched out his hand and gave a virtual press, and the applause subsided.

He sat down, adjusted the wizard robes on his body, and looked at the two people on the podium intently.

Hoffa didn’t know what to say, he continued to spread the parchment down, and then a message made him stare at him for a long time: “Because of the magical biology class teacher Victor Caro stepped down due to injury, this year The teacher of the magical creatures class will be the legendary half-elf, from the Drasses family..."

Hoffa paused, his eyes widened, and he read word by word: "Fatier De La Setis is in charge."

When he read this passage, he involuntarily looked at Aglaia at the Ravenclaw table. She also looked at Hoffa with wide-eyed eyes. They both saw each other's shock.

Obviously, she didn't know at all.

The parchment is at the end. Dumbledore, who stood by, immediately began to applaud, and the students below also began to applaud.

Hoffa looked around, trying to find Aglaia’s father.

The other students in the audience are also looking around, trying to find the teacher who shares the same name with Ravenclaw. However, no matter how they find it, only Jacob Bohan is the only new teacher on the staff desk, and there is no second person at all.

Dumbledore pushed Hoffa's shoulder slightly, and frowned, putting away the parchment and walking off the podium.

Dumbledore took Hoffa's words:

"I would like to explain a little bit here. Mr. De Laces can't come here because of something, but he will invite the school's third grade and above, the best students to go to the mountains and castles in the Hebdiri Islands to participate in the special event one day in the semester. Training.

These are the original words of Professor Drazes. This year's Fantastic Animals class will be very exciting and very dangerous. I hope everyone will participate actively when they are mentally prepared. "

After speaking, he flicked the cup with his fingers, and various kinds of food appeared on the banquet table, and the banquet began.

This time, most students didn't care about the banquet. They got together and discussed the two new professors of the school.

Hoffa looked at her when he approached Aglaia, and found her head down, without saying a word, unheard of the inquiry around her.

Back to his seat, everyone around was talking about the new teacher and the war, paying too much attention to his absence. Hoffa relaxed a lot. He pulled the plate, took some food and started eating.

Of course, due to the war, the food at Hogwarts this year is far worse than in previous years. Although I have tried my best to make it rich, the level of refinement is incomparable to the past.

The most popular dishes are potatoes, mashed potatoes, salt-baked potatoes, potato beef, potato salad, potatoes...Of course there are other dishes, mainly vegetarian.

Hoffa didn't care about the food. To be honest, he didn't want anything to be full in this age. We must know that in many parts of the world, due to the massive death of labor, many people cannot even fill their stomachs.

He absent-mindedly chopped the vegetables, and the people around him were talking about topics. To be honest, he had no interest. Everyone was a professor, and he would have to fight for seven or eight years in a war.

What he wanted was to wait for Dumbledore to inquire about the weird spirit in his mind after it was over.

But Dumbledore helped Principal Armando Dippet out less than three minutes after the banquet began.

After eating for a long time, I didn't see him come back.

Hoffa began to feel vaguely disturbed deep in his heart. He thought of the weird smoking teenager he had encountered on the train, and began to look around.

But after watching for a long time, he found that he was not among these students at all. Ravenclaw did not, Gryffindor did not, Slytherin did not, and Hufflepuff, the largest number, did not.

This makes him feel a little inexplicable.

Did you encounter a ghost on the train?

After eating, Dumbledore still did not come back.

The plan that I wanted to consult fell through.

Hoffa had to follow the new prefect and onto the tower of Ravenclaw.

The magic ladder turns round and round to help students climb the tall towers and cross the narrow bridge in the sky. Hoffa returned to the common room where he had been away for two months.

The knight in the portrait saw the wizard coming, and Chujian knelt on one knee.

As always, the Eagle Ring performed its duties, spreading its bronze metal wings, and asked:

The people who invented it didn't want it,

The person who bought it doesn’t need it,

People who need it don't care about it.

This question is quite difficult, maybe Eagle Ring wants to give the freshmen a good start. No matter how old or new students are, they can't answer for a while.

Even Hoffa, who answered the Eagle Ring questions so many times, did not know the answer. He turned his head and asked Miranda next to him, "Will you?"

Miranda shook her head, "Guessing puzzles is not my strong point."

Hoffa just wanted to ask Aglaia, but found that she was standing three meters away from her, turning her head to the side and whispering something to Sherlock.

Then the female leader stood up and said lightly: "Coffin."

Eagle Ring lowered his head and folded his wings. The sword knight revolved and opened the door to the common room.

Hoffa walked into the doorway, thinking of bad luck in his heart. On the first day of the new semester, can't Eagle Ring come up with an auspicious riddle?
