In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Draco heard Jon's words, and his already pale face turned noticeably paler.

"My dad doesn't know yet. If he understands that you will definitely win, then he will definitely win."

"If everyone knows that we will win, then everyone can make the right choice, Mr. Malfoy."

Jon said looking into his eyes.

"No one could have predicted this at the beginning, but some people have a one-size-fits-all mind. In your father's mind, his yardstick is still swinging from side to side. He feels that there is still plenty of time and opportunities, and there are plenty of them. It allows him to consider the situation clearly and then make a choice.”

Draco pursed his lips and fell silent.

Jon told the truth, and it was precisely because he told the truth that Draco was frightened.

No one knows his father's temper better than him. If he doesn't see the benefits that he will definitely get, Lucius will never put down what he has grasped, especially if there is no benefit at all from getting closer to Dumbledore. Can't get it.

If this continues, Lucius will only be left with a dead end.

It has not been long since he came to Hogwarts, but Draco has obviously seen the gap between the two sides. Excluding the combat power of Dumbledore and Voldemort at the top, among the remaining wizards, a Phoenix The people in the club can fight at least three Death Eaters!

It's not that the Death Eaters were so unbearable from the beginning, but that their long-term life of indulgence and extravagance has sapped their fighting spirit. These people have long since lost the stage where they could risk their lives for tangible benefits like they did in the beginning.

Now they are all defenders of interests, and keeping their lives is the biggest prerequisite for continued enjoyment.

But the people of the Order of the Phoenix have long since lost everything. Many of their friends and family members have died under the bloodline policy, so they will never look back and will risk their lives at any time to fight for something. future.

One cherishes his life, the other fights desperately. It is of course clear in which direction the balance of victory will tilt.

Even in terms of combat power at the highest level, it is obvious that no one can steadily overwhelm the other between Voldemort and Dumbledore.

The compromise after the Triwizard Tournament was enough to show that Voldemort was very unconfident about being able to defeat Dumbledore.

In addition, although Draco could not remember what exactly happened when he was in the castle, he could vaguely feel that Jon must have done something terrible in the castle that day.

Dumbledore obviously has a successor on the Witch Level side, and Voldemort has yet to have anyone who can compare with Jon.

The number of famous Death Eaters who died under Jon's hands could not be counted with just one slap, let alone his peers.

So reason and reality told Draco that based on the current situation, Voldemort's chances of winning are really slim.

Taking a step back, if Voldemort and Dumbledore fight together and end up with a lose-lose outcome, then this means that the wizard side will definitely win, and the British Ministry of Magic will have no chance at all.

It was precisely because he had figured this out that Draco felt so anxious about his parents' situation.

He has now been taken to France. After being screened by the public trial, there will definitely be no security problems later.

But both Lucius and Narcissa are still serving Voldemort in the UK. If public trials are held in the UK in the future, Narcissa is basically a housewife. Fortunately, Lucius will definitely be hanged for the crime he committed. , even if the guilt was divided into three parts, he would be hanged three times!

Draco loved his family. He may have realized that his father was full of evil, but he also did not want Lucius to be hanged.

After a long silence, Draco raised his head again and said in a completely pleading tone.

"Can you give me a chance to communicate with my father? I will help you, and he will listen to me. If he is really willing to help you, he will definitely be able to get away with it, right?"

Jon did not reject Draco's idea immediately.

Draco's behavior in the original book and his previous behavior in Hogwarts Castle can be called bad, but it is not a heinous crime. His character is spoiled, and he lacks a certain degree of integrity. Education, in essence, still has some conscience.

It was precisely because of this that he was not sentenced to any serious crime in that public trial.

So Jon didn't really want him to feel that helpless despair, so he didn't say anything to death.

"I can't give you any guarantees for the time being, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. I can only say that if there is such an opportunity in the future, I can help you."

Draco was already satisfied with such a promise.

He was already a prisoner, and Jon had no obligation to do anything to help him.

After that, Draco didn't take up any more of Jon's time, and left after crying with gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

When he saw Jon before, he only had fear in his heart, but now he actually felt grateful.

Because maybe he doesn't remember the specific scene very well, but Draco still clearly remembers the fact that Jon really saved his life.

Draco's matter was just a sideshow to Jon.

Time passed bit by bit, and one month after returning from England, his appearance finally looked similar to what he looked like when he participated in the Triwizard Tournament.

Of course, Jon was very satisfied with this. Friends around him also said that he was finally satisfied with his current appearance, and Hermione's eyes no longer became distorted and weird when she looked at him.

The only person who expressed dissatisfaction with this incident was Gabrielle.

Her situation is different from Jon's. In fact, based on her real age now, she should be ten years old, and next year she will be old enough to enter the magic school.

But because of the dead soul water, her body showed no signs of growth in the two years since she became a ghost. She still had the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old girl, looking very immature.

If an ordinary girl encountered such a thing, she would probably wish she could be younger for a few more years, but Gabrielle was obviously not happy at all.

This makes the age gap between her and Jon seem to be getting bigger and bigger. It was fine when Jon looked younger before, but now after two months, he has returned to his normal age. , which made Gabrielle even more depressed.

Fortunately, after entering August, a piece of news that made her happy was brought back.

Her parents and sister, who had been separated from her for more than two years, finally had a clue.

When France began to show signs of bloodline theory, the Delacours fled overnight. The time was so tight that they had no time to pick up their little daughter who was fostered in Madame Maxime's home.

Because Mrs. Delacour has half Veela blood, under this theory that even wizards cannot tolerate mixed blood, the blood of such magical creatures mixed with wizards is even more unacceptable to wizards who believe in bloodline theory. .

Knowing that if they stay in France, their family will face an extremely terrible ending, so running away immediately is a wise decision.

As for where they fled to, there is no news. When Jon followed Dumbledore to France for the first time, he only heard Madame Maxime, who was also preparing to leave France because she had giant blood, said that she planned to find Traces of the Delacour family.

And now, someone in Northern Europe discovered the whereabouts of Mrs. Maxim in Denmark, and also learned clues about the Delacour family from her.

As for why they have not taken the initiative to come to France for so long, it is easy to guess.

The Wizarding Horizon had not yet been established, and during the period when Voldemort ruled the British and French magical governments alone, the attitude of the entire European wizarding community was ambiguous with him.

If you don't want to escape to other continents, the best way to avoid persecution in the wizarding world is to completely cut off any contact with wizards and try to integrate into Muggle life.

In this way, of course they can ensure safety, and no one can find them, but similarly, they can no longer understand what is happening in the wizarding world.

For example, Madame Maxime has been found. She had been hiding in an inaccessible valley in Denmark.

It's not that she doesn't want to integrate into Muggle society, but her body shape is so obvious that she attracts the most attention no matter where she goes. She can't live her life drinking Polyjuice Potion every day.

From her, the people on the flat line also learned some information about the Delacour family. She originally came to Denmark following the traces of the couple.

After the news was brought back to France, Gabrielle, who was already panicking in school, couldn't sit still.

She asked Professor McGonagall to let her join Mrs. Maxim, who was still in Denmark, to search for her family.

Mag didn't want to agree at first. After all, Gabrielle was a little girl who didn't even have a wand. Even if the situation in Northern Europe wasn't as turbulent as France and Britain, it didn't mean absolute safety could be guaranteed.

Only later, after Jon offered to go with Gabrielle, did Mag agree.

Originally, Gabrielle was almost moved to tears when she heard that Jon was willing to help her and go with her to Denmark to find her parents and sister.

But on the day of departure, Gabrielle's delicate and lovely face, which was still in high spirits, collapsed on the spot.

"Why are you still here?"

She looked at Hermione who was wearing a white short-sleeved upper body and a pleated skirt. Her long chestnut curly hair was neatly combed into a single ponytail. She also wore a peaked cap on her head as if to protect herself from the sun, and asked.

Hermione looked like she hadn't looked like this in a long time, and she adjusted her peaked cap.

"What, am I not welcome? Gabrielle."

Their private relationship was actually very good, but according to Gabriel's imagination, this trip should only be between her and Jon. But now that an unexpected person appeared, she naturally became resentful.

Especially since Jon was not wearing a robe like before, but was also wearing a T-shirt and jeans. It looked like he had discussed it with Hermione in advance.

This made Gabrielle look even more out of place, as if this was supposed to be a trip that Jon and Hermione had arranged together, and she was the one who went along with it.

"Of course, welcome~"

She made a long final note, and everyone could hear the reluctance in her voice.

Jon pulled her to his side, then spun her in a circle like a spinning top, and said in wonder.

"We are basically traveling in Muggle society on this trip. With you dressed like this, everyone will just think that some little girl misremembered the date of Halloween and came out at the wrong time to ask for candy."

"I'm not young!"

Gabrielle emphasized this matter very deliberately.

"I can go to school next year! I have asked Professor Dumbledore about this and he promised me!"

Jon shrugged and rubbed Gabrielle's silver hair like a dog's head.

"Okay, okay, Gabrielle isn't a kid anymore."

Gabrielle was obviously very dissatisfied with Jon's insincere words. She pulled her head away from Jon's hand and said angrily.

"Then what should I wear now?"

Jon spread his hands helplessly. Of course he didn't prepare anything more, but Hermione handed Gabrielle a brown paper bag that she had been carrying.

"I've prepared it for you, go put it on quickly."

Now Gabrielle was finally too embarrassed to show any dissatisfaction with Hermione. She took the bag from Hermione's hand and thanked her politely and seriously. Then she glared at Jon and turned around to change clothes in the girls' bathroom next to her. went.

What Hermione prepared for her was indeed very considerate, a white dress that fit her perfectly.

After coming to Lyon and having a stable teaching environment, Hogwarts will of course not restrict students from going out during holidays, and will also give them pocket money so that they can buy some things for themselves occasionally.

Hermione had obviously bought this dress with the money she had saved.

It is precisely because of this that Gabrielle reluctantly accepted the fact that there was a third person traveling to Denmark together.

In fact, she didn't really have any thoughts at first. The little girl had never been separated from her parents and family for so long. She missed her relatives so much that she was eager to leave and set off.

So just like that, Jon, Hermione, and Gabrielle came to Denmark through the Floo network in the Hogwarts school.

Their landing point was the Witch Flat Line's station in Northern Europe, which was usually responsible for receiving material assistance from the Witch Party. It was here that they met up with the former principal of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Madame Maxime.

Compared with when Jon saw her before, Mrs. Maxim was obviously much thinner now, but her broad frame still made her stand out from the crowd.
