The specific cause is unknown. The entire Disaster Prevention Department of the Ministry of Magic was dispatched to investigate the incident.

On February 3rd, Hogwarts' evacuation plan was launched again. Seventy percent of the students refused the evacuation plan. The number of students evacuated by the Ministry of Magic's Disaster Prevention Department was 213, and the remaining more than 900 students still chose to evacuate.

Stay in school.

On February 7th, Albus Dumbledore attended the Wizengamot and presented evidence to prove that the Half-Man King was not the former headmaster of Hogwarts, Armando Dippet. However, the instigator was the Half-Man King.

The Hogwarts school has not disclosed his true identity, and more information is still under further investigation.

...

...

The soft sound of newspaper reading rang in Hoffa's ears. At this moment, it was March, and the bright spring light shone along the top of the dilapidated auditorium into the corridor. The sky was blue, and outside the corridor, there were students coming and going, carrying ladders.

, walking everywhere.

In the corridor, a gray-haired boy was holding a cane, walking slowly like a disabled person. He had pale golden eyes, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, and the nails on his ten fingers were as thin as cicada wings, so transparent that they could be seen.

The bright red tender meat underneath.

Hoffa is undergoing a physical recovery task assigned to him by the school doctor, walking three kilometers every day.

Next to him was a chestnut-haired girl with a short ponytail and round glasses. She supported Hoffa, who was holding a walking stick, with one hand and a newspaper in the other, reading to him one after another.

Hoffa walked and listened quietly. Occasionally, someone came over to say hello to him, and he would smile back.

But in order to talk less, he still tried to stay where there were few people, because there were too many people greeting him.

He can't say much yet.

At this moment, more than a month had passed since the thrilling life-and-death battle between him and Silby. Hoffa's face was still very pale, but it was much better than before.

God knows how much pain he has experienced this month. When he woke up from a coma in the first few days, all the bones in his body were like chalk. They broke when he touched them. He could not move at all. His muscles were strained when he moved, and he could not even speak.

His jaw could be shattered and fractured. This was probably the closest he had ever come to death.

Due to that extreme blood bloom, his previously ear-length black hair turned into short gray hair.

At first, Hoffa thought it would be fine after the old hair fell out. But unexpectedly, the new hair was still gray.

This made him a little uncomfortable, because this gray hair always reminded him of Silby. But after watching it for a few days, he had to accept this reality.

Fortunately, his appearance has not aged, which is the only thing worth celebrating.

In the second half of the semester, all classes at the school were suspended, but most students still chose to stay at the school. As for the reason, Hoffa felt that maybe most ordinary people were like himself and were not willing to watch the school be destroyed.

.

When passing a collapsed tower, Hoffa saw a group of students using a levitating spell to control a row of stones and run past.

Under the collapsed tower, some senior students waved their magic wands, and some junior students simply carried lumber on their shoulders. There were also many scaffoldings erected on the tower.

There are also some teachers downstairs holding drawings, pointing to the gaps in the building, and comparing drawings. There are also many scaffoldings erected on the high places of the tower.

People are coming and going, and almost everyone is very busy.

All the work and tasks of the school were transferred to post-disaster reconstruction, and all courses were suspended. In fact, Hoffa felt that he could learn things faster this way.

It's just that he no longer has the ability to rebuild the school with others, and now his bones are just a little harder than glass.

He stood in the distance and used a wooden stick to sweep away a piece of gravel at his feet. He saw several bottles containing specimens and carefully identified them. Only then did he realize that this was the tower where Slytherin stored potions.

"Poor Slytherin, the damage is the worst."

Miranda whispered beside Hoffa.

"How long do you think it will take to complete the repair?" Hoffa asked as he walked.

"It won't last for a few years." Miranda held Hoffa's arm and said calmly, "But it's lucky that the school has not been closed."

The two walked through the collapsed building and passed the castle gate of Hogwarts. As the first line of defense when the explosion came, the gate of Hogwarts was the most severely damaged.

There was a sea of ​​people here, many people were shouting loudly and waving their wands. Nearly fifty fifty people used the floating spell to slowly pull up a new brown wooden door and place it in the place of the original iron door.

"Oak door..."

Hoffa's heart moved.

Miranda put down the newspaper and stood next to Hoffa:

"You protected the school's main facilities, but as you can see, the school's gate was blown away. However, the cost of iron doors is a bit high, especially at this time, so the school can only replace oak doors."

Miranda shrugged: "But let me tell you, this is not bad. At least the school is still there and the students are still there."

"If only it could be discovered earlier..." Hoffa murmured.

"The spirit of Hogwarts is not just a few rubble buildings." Miranda took Hoffa's arm and said calmly.

"Keep walking, you have only walked less than three hundred meters today."

"Hmm."

Hoffa moved forward slowly and after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back.

Watching the oak door slowly being lifted up to the castle gate, Hoffa remembered something, this... If he remembered correctly, the door in the original book was an oak door. He thought he was changing history, but if

Thinking about it this way, it seems like nothing has changed.

When the two walked to the Black Lake, Hoffa was out of breath, so Miranda let him rest on a fragment of a statue by the lake for a while.

After a short rest, Hoffa discovered that the entire land had been overturned. He even saw an office on the underground floor.

He seemed to have been to that office before, and when he thought about it carefully, it turned out to be Osivia's office.

The once gloomy office is now fully exposed to the sun. It has not been repaired and is in a mess.

Osilvia has not been seen by Hoffa for some time because she went to the Ministry of Magic and has been busy working on the Armando Dippet case, working with other deans to restore the school to normal operations.

After standing high and watching for a while, Hoffa turned his head and said to Miranda: "Let's go down and see if anything is not damaged."

"How is it possible? This is the first place affected by the explosion."

Miranda said.

"Let's go and have a look, in case there are any more."

Hoffa handed his arm to Miranda, who helped him slowly walk down the slope.

After walking into this abandoned office, Hoffa found that the place was still completely in disgrace. All the porcelain and decorative utensils were shattered, and only a few tattered clothes remained.

Indeed, as Miranda said, nothing has been preserved.

However, when he walked deep into the office, Hoffa's cane poked a few pages, and he reluctantly bent down to pick them up and read them.

It turned out to be an old newspaper. He shook the gravel and dust off the newspaper.

There were several black and white photos in the newspaper, which recorded a corpse stuck on the ice. The newspaper recorded the murder of the Soviet Minister of Magic last year.

This is the old newspaper that Osilvia always carries with her.

It actually wasn't destroyed.

Hoffa thought for a moment and kept the old newspaper with him.

"What is that?" Miranda asked casually.

"Nothing, just a souvenir. Help me up."

Miranda took Hoffa's arm and walked onto the ground. At this time, he saw a boy sitting in a wheelchair opposite, being pushed by several Slytherins in green robes to the edge of the black lake to look at the scenery.

Hoffa was instinctively startled when he saw the wheelchair.

Then he came to his senses and realized that it was not Silby, but Tom Riddle.

He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown similar to his own, and was being pushed in a wheelchair by several green-robed Slytherins.
