In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Not surprisingly, Barrow followed Jon back to Lyon, taking all the ghosts in the castle with him.

Their roots are in that castle, and now that Dumbledore's situation is very good, they naturally don't want to continue wandering outside.

For the ghosts, coming back now does not mean that they can only share wealth and wealth but not hardships. During the hunt for Voldemort and the others, the ghosts could not do much, and they did not leave the castle with Dumbledore in the first place. , but after Voldemort gradually changed the atmosphere of the castle, these ghosts gradually fled.

Barrow has always said that he wants to take the castle back from Voldemort on his own. After Jon found him, he realized that he was not talking nonsense or just shouting a loud slogan. He was really working towards that goal. He did it, using what Slytherin had asked him to keep.

Now Barrow has not only brought back all the ghosts in the castle, he has also brought back the thing that Slytherin needed, and it is now in Dumbledore's hands.

After completing this matter and returning to Lyon, he had nothing to do with Jon for the time being. Slytherin would not hand over part of this thing to him until the start of the third game.

In the following days, Jon never left Lyon.

In addition to taking fourth-grade courses with him and spending time in the library every day, he just stared at Lyon's weather conditions and studied them.

Finally, after entering late March, a spring rain fell.

Compared with winter, the temperature during this period has obviously risen a lot. The young wizards have changed out of their thick robes and sweaters. I heard that Professor McGonagall is planning to organize an outing during this period. Of course, the location Also in France.

When it rained, Jon would lie by the window, staring at the cloudy sky, chatting with Neville and Ron who were playing wizard chess beside him.

“Why do people’s moods change when it rains?”

"If we follow the scientific explanation, the lack of sunshine on cloudy and rainy days will lead to insufficient secretion of some hormones in the body, especially the reduction of dopamine hormone secretion, resulting in insufficient brain excitement, which is manifested in depression emotionally."

"What's exciting and what's exciting? It's a mess. What if it's explained by magic?" Ron asked while paying attention to the chess game and scratching his head.

Jon very much hoped that a thunder would strike from the dark clouds at this time.

"The explanation for magic is that rainy days are very conducive for dark wizards to use black magic. Perhaps such weather will affect their mood and make their spellcasting stronger."

Neville was thinking hard about Jon's nonsense.

"That's no wonder when we were in the UK, every time we were hunted down it was always on rainy days."

"Well, that might be just a coincidence." Jon immediately changed his tone to prevent Neville from going astray, and then focused his eyes on the sky again, "You said that if I learn the weather spell, I can artificially create a thunderstorm. Will there be no problem?"

His plan to learn Animagus was obviously not hidden from Neville and Ron, nor could they hide it from them staying in Lyon to help him keep an eye on the weather.

"The problem is huge." Neville said seriously, "The ancient wizards were not stupid. They were definitely more proficient in using celestial spells than we are, but the conditions for learning Animagus have been so harsh since ancient times. , which means that using magic to cheat and take shortcuts will not work."

Jon just said it casually, and he had no intention of taking shortcuts.

When it comes to such extremely difficult spells that can affect him, he has always held the view that he should be as cautious as possible. He would rather fail to learn than take risks.

Just like when he was lurking in Hogwarts Castle to deal with the basilisk, Jon actually had many ways to ask Aberforth to help him use a spell to preserve the sound of the rooster to face the basilisk, but to be on the safe side, he still I chose the most troublesome option and just brought a live rooster.

Faced with such a situation, it is best not to take chances with your own safety.

If it works out, it will be easy to say, but if it doesn’t work out, it’s totally over.

"I heard that your dance partner at the ball is Hermione?" Ron suddenly asked teasingly, as if the chess game had settled into its own rhythm.

Jon waved his hand.

"It's Hermione in name, but actually the person I spent the longest with that night was Lee."

Neville and Ron looked at each other, obviously they still didn't know what happened on the night of the ball.

And just when Jon was about to give them a concise explanation, a blue-purple electric light suddenly shone on his face!

Jon was stunned for less than two seconds, and then he jumped out of the window without saying a word. He didn't even leave the door, and just flew into the rain that was getting heavier and heavier!

"Boom!"

Thunder followed closely, leaving Neville and Ron to watch Jon's back being gradually obscured by the heavy rain.

At this moment, Jon felt that the idea that people would be in a bad mood on rainy days was completely fallacious!

Even though he had been hinting during the game that he would not force things regarding the Animagus, he had already been waiting for this for a long time. It would be a lie to say that he had no expectations in his heart.

And now the long wait is finally coming to an end.

Jon did not dare to let himself get wet on this day, as he would most likely catch a cold afterwards. When he flew out, he also turned the robe he was wearing into a raincoat and put on a big hood.

Soon he came to the place where the potion had been buried, and after the first thunder ended, the next lightning followed.

The sky was half illuminated by lightning, then darkened again the next moment.

Jon conjured a shovel and began to dig a hole. In order to prevent the potion bottle from being accidentally blown to pieces, he did not dare to use magic. The closer it was to the last moment, the less anxious he could be. After all, he had been waiting for more than half a year. Not bad at this time.

Within a few minutes, he dug out the bottle of potion.

Lying quietly in that small crystal bottle was a mouthful of blood-red liquid, which was exactly the same as what Jon described in the book and Professor McGonagall's explanation.

This means that he has succeeded in the potion part!

After getting the potion, Jon did not stay. There was no need to stay in a thunderstorm while drinking the potion. He immediately moved to a large conference room in the school.

It is basically not used here, and no one will disturb it. The place is open enough. It is the place that Jon chose early in the morning to complete the Animagus transformation.
