In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"He's thin and not tall, probably a head taller than Jon."

Gabrielle used Jon to make comparisons.

"He's not very old. He's about the same age as my father. His voice is also very kind. When he came to my house for the first time, he gave my sister and me a gift each. The one he gave me was a stuffed bear."

Dumbledore's eyes revealed his thoughts, and he continued to ask.

"Do you still remember that he went to the house and discussed something with your father?"

Gabrielle shook her head.

"I didn't hear it. My father usually didn't let me and my sister be around when discussing things. But after that meeting, my father was very angry and my mother didn't say anything. The man kept apologizing and then left my house. ”

Gabrielle remembered the incident very clearly, and she described the complete details of the time, but this information did not seem to provide them with any effective clues.

First of all, why a French wizard that Gabrielle had met appeared on the carriage was very puzzling.

Dumbledore rubbed his thumbs and asked.

"How long ago did he come to see your father? Was it very close to the time when your family was wanted later?"

"Just a week before mom, dad and sister escaped from France."

"Then can you still remember clearly which room on the carriage you saw this person in? If you really forget, you can tell me where you went last night."

Gabrielle tried to remember.

"I came out of the dormitory, first went to sit on the roof of the carriage for a while, and then returned to the carriage in the middle of the night. I floated along the room on the left side of the hall, and then I didn't know which room I entered and looked inside. When I got a teapot that was very similar to mine, I thought of my parents and sister, and then I seemed to think of or see that person."

she said hesitantly.

"Professor Dumbledore, I'm not sure if I really saw that person. I was crying at the time..."

Dumbledore comforted her softly.

"It doesn't matter. Regardless of whether you saw this wizard on the carriage or not, he has provided us with a lot of help, kid. Don't take the dementors too seriously. This kind of creature is actually not that scary. It It’s just that it can easily arouse negative emotions in people’s hearts. If you still feel bad, you can go to the fifth room in the greenhouse, where there is a garden cultivated by Lily, which is great for people who need to relax.”

Gabrielle thanked Dumbledore and did not stay in the principal's office any longer.

After she left, only Jon and Dumbledore were left in the principal's office.

Jon looked at Dumbledore and couldn't help but ask.

"Professor, will a French wizard really come to Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and shook his head.

"This matter cannot be determined so quickly. I need to contact Ms. Roland and use Gabrielle's description to determine whether there is this person in the French Ministry of Magic."

"What if this person is someone from the French Ministry of Magic?"

Dumbledore's eyes darkened and he said solemnly.

"That means things are going in the worst direction."

He didn't say what the worst-case scenario was, but Jon could hear the seriousness in Dumbledore's voice.

"Then how do we catch the man lurking on the carriage?"

When Jon asked this, Dumbledore showed a slightly relaxed look on his face.

"Do you think, if the Dark Lord really sent someone to the carriage, what kind of person would that person be?"

Jon thought about this question very seriously.

"He should be very powerful, otherwise sneaking into the carriage will be a problem. Then, he will need to face a lot of psychological pressure, because you are always on the carriage, which is even greater than the pressure I had to sneak into the castle before. After all, Voldemort He won't be in the castle all the time. Secondly, he must be eloquent enough, otherwise it will be impossible to convince Percy to rebel unless he uses the Imperius Curse."

"How old do you think such a person is?"

Dumbledore's question made Jon hesitate for a moment.

To be honest, lurking on the carriage was far more difficult than Jon sneaking into Hogwarts Castle.

The number of students here is smaller, the scope of activities is also smaller, and the professors cannot ignore any students, and Dumbledore is on the carriage the whole time.

What's more, the reason why Jon was able to thrive in Hogwarts Castle was mainly because he got the two hidden artifacts, the Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map, and because he had read the original work, he knew that castle better than most people. It's much more familiar, plus Jon is not an ordinary 12-year-old kid.

The situation in the carriage was completely different. It would be ten times more difficult to hide here and cause trouble. Jon didn't think Voldemort could just send someone here to complete such a task. After all, he had to be one of the Death Eaters. The elites must not be the kind of brainless fools.

"If someone really sneaked into the carriage, he must be an adult wizard." Jon said with certainty.

Dumbledore clearly feels the same way as Jon.

"The wizard who sneaked into the carriage must be an adult wizard. In the Hogwarts Castle, how the Dark Lord prevented adult wizards from sneaking in, we can do the same."

If Jon can no longer think of what Dumbledore said at this time, then his brain will be in vain. He looked at Dumbledore.

"age limit?"

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded and said, "I didn't set such an age limit on the carriage before, because this is not only a school but also a temporary gathering place for the Order of the Phoenix, but that doesn't mean we can't do it."

A slightly relaxed smile appeared on Jon's face at this time.

"As long as an age limit is added to the protection on the carriage, all adult wizards except professors will be found out!"

Dumbledore also had a smile on his face.

"But this matter still requires preparation. Imposing age restrictions on the entire carriage is different from ordinary spellcasting. If I want to maintain the effect, I will have to arrange it for a long time. During this period, I still need to be cautious on the carriage. "

"I remember you have a Charms class in the afternoon. It's almost time now, don't be late."

Jon didn't stay in the principal's office, otherwise he would be late for Charms class.

After he left, Dumbledore pulled out a piece of yellowed parchment from his desk.

He held the quill stained with ink, thought for a moment, and then wrote a paragraph on the parchment.
