A legendary figure must have a legendary mind.
Christmas is over, a new semester, a new year.
Hoffa gathered his faith and started again.
But this time, he no longer waits for fate to control him, he takes the initiative to pursue the battle.
This is about spirit and destiny.
In just a few words, Miller, the dark personality, has become his inner demon. If he does not defeat him, Hoffa believes that his life will be hopeless.
I can only live in the world and do nothing.
The first thing Hoffa has to do is to understand the other party.
On the first day of classes in the new semester, Miranda still did not come to the Charms class.
In this class, Gorshak didn't even have any points deducted, and he didn't even mention this matter.
In class, Hoffa could see the dark circles and fatigue hidden under the old man's eyes. He was not as energetic as before.
What happened on Christmas night also caused a considerable blow to him.
After class, Hoffa did not leave immediately. He stood up and walked to Adebe Gorshak.
"Professor, wait a moment."
Gorshak looked at him in surprise and stood still.
Aglaia nodded slightly to him, and his classmates rushed past him. In the end, only Hoffa and Gorshak were left in the classroom.
This is the first time Hoffa has been alone with Professor Gorshak since Christmas.
"I want to know Miranda." Hoffa said straight to the point, and then he ignored Gorshak's shocked eyes.
"I want to know why she destroyed the teleportation array, and what caused that guy Miller."
It took a while for Gorshak to react. He took two steps and then sat on the table with his fingers crossed.
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know," Hoffa said calmly, "I think very clearly that I want to understand her."
"Can I know why?" Gorshak did not refute, but asked rhetorically.
"Wherever you fall, you get up. This is what you said. Now that I have gotten up, I want to prevent myself from falling again."
Gorshak was still thinking about Hoffa's proposal, and he thought about it for a while.
"Bach, you are just a first-year student. You can help me once that night, and that is enough."
"Miranda is a first-year student, too," Hoffa said calmly.
Gorshak did not refuse directly, but after thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked out: "Bach, you are just an outsider, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me?"
Hoffa stood in front of Gorshak and stopped him.
"Do you think I will be chased by a dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest for no reason, or do you think I will let the same thing happen twice?"
"It won't happen again, I promise you."
"Can you guarantee that you will be in school every day and watch her every day? Let's not talk about whether you can watch her or not. How much time will you have in school in the future? How much time can you devote to the war that is about to break out in Europe?
Take care of her. I heard from Principal Dippet that you are going to Romania with him soon..."
"Shut up!"
Gorshak couldn't bear it anymore, and he was back to being the resolute headmaster of Ravenclaw he usually was.
"You are not allowed to mention this matter."
"You're afraid of her finding out."
Hoffa exposed Gorshak's strength.
"Afraid that Miller knows the fact that you are not here, it will appear once you leave, isn't it? No one in this school can see it except you and me."
"enough!"
Gorshak waved his hand angrily, stopped looking at Hoffa, and stood up: "I agree to your request, but I will only give you one more class in private. Come to my office at 7 o'clock tonight. The new student in my office
The password is Mars, I hope you won't be late."
The corners of Hoffa's mouth raised and he smiled.
"Of course I won't be late."
...
...
That night, Hoffa told Aglaia that he was going to make up a class, but unexpectedly it triggered a violent reaction from her.
"I didn't dare to sleep for several nights. Miranda must have known something. She always looked at me strangely. If you ask me, sending her to St. Mungo's Psychiatric Hospital is the best solution."
At night, on the narrow bridge outside the common room, Aglaia suggested this to Hoffa.
Hoffa: "I don't think psychological problems can be solved by magic. Your solution is too violent."
"Oh, you can keep telling Gorshak this. I heard from my family that this old man is famous for being strong and cold-blooded in the European wizarding world. I'll bet you 5 Nats that he will definitely
I will ask you to learn some advanced defensive skills to deal with Miranda..."
Since she hadn't slept well for several nights, Aglaia was probably holding back a lot of resentment.
She wanted to complain, but Hoffa could only listen silently.
When it was almost seven o'clock, Hoffa left Ravenclaw's tower and headed to the astronomy tower where Professor Gorshak was.
Walking through a corridor filled with planetariums and looking glasses, Hoffa stood in front of a double painting and said: "Mars."
The painting parted in response, and Hoffa climbed up the spiral stone steps and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
A faint voice came from the office.
Hoffa pushed the door open and entered. The room was still the same as before, so simple that it was almost shabby. Hoffa paid attention to one detail.
That is, all the oil paintings on the wall have disappeared, and Professor Gorshak has put them away.
"You're very punctual, Hoffa."
Gorshak said in front of the wooden table: "Sit down."
He pointed to an empty wooden chair in front of him.
After Hoffa sat down, he saw a black scroll in front of him. The edge of the scroll was carved with runes and symbols, which was very mysterious.
Hoffa was very familiar with this prop, the Book of Spells.
Half a year ago, he used this very thing when he learned the Disguise Charm in the secret room of the Violet Society. This thing can record other people's memories just like a pensieve, but the memory must be related to the spell.
Gorshak did not say a word of nonsense and went straight to the topic.
Gorshak: "If you want to control the dark personality Miller, I think you need very powerful control spells. And the best way to learn magic is undoubtedly to watch other wizards cast spells live. For this purpose, I learned from Dipe
I borrowed a precious book of spells from Principal Special as a tool for my teaching. What I want to take you to trace today is..."
"Ahem, please wait a moment, Professor."
Hoffa interrupted Gorshak.
Gorshak frowned in displeasure, "What's wrong?"
"I hope I can get to know her first. You must first tell me the whole story. How Miranda was possessed by Grindelwald and the reason for the estrangement between her and you."
After a moment of silence, Gorshak said in a deep voice: "Few first-year students are as bold as you."
"I want to solve the problem." Hoffa looked at Gorshak calmly.
Gorshak frowned and stared at the ceiling for a while, then he crossed his fingers and said calmly:
"Wizards have powers that are beyond ordinary people, and naturally they also have responsibilities that are beyond ordinary people. This world is not peaceful. There are many reasons for wizards to fight, and land resources are one of them.
The school sends students to those areas where wizards compete every year. It’s the same in every country. Some of these students are currently in school and some have graduated. Miranda’s parents are also dispatched members.”
"Who sent them there?" Hoffa asked. "Is it you?"
After a long time, Gorshak nodded slowly.
"They were killed by a German dark wizard. Miranda was very painful. She thought it was my fault that her parents died."
As he said that, Gorshak's eyes moved to Hoffa's ears: "Including your friend Indra, he was also a friend of Nimon. Of course, he also thought that I killed Miranda's parents. At this point
Yes, I don’t deny it, but in the face of war, I don’t have much choice.”
"Miranda has been very talented in spells since she was a child. Especially after her parents died, she showed an unparalleled learning speed in spells. But this is not something for a young girl.
It is a good thing that excessive display of extraordinary talents will attract unnecessary covetousness. But when I realized it, it was already too late. Grindelwald took a fancy to her and hoped to train her into his capable subordinate. He was under her
A magic seed is planted in her brain, which will consume her emotions and magic to grow until it replaces her original personality."
