In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Dumbledore left with the boy named Randy Smith.

In addition to leaving Jon Fawkes' feathers and Polyjuice Potion, he also left a handful of hair cut from Smith's head.

I don't know whether that boy's character was born like this or because of something else. He accepted what he experienced and didn't ask any questions even if he was about to be taken away.

But maybe thinking about it, it's possible that the year he lived in that Hogwarts castle had made him completely numb to the future. His previous life was already desperate enough, and the rest, no matter how bad it was, was just death.

A 12-year-old boy already has such a mentality, which is a bit scary to think about.

This was Jon's first official contact with students from another Hogwarts school, and it was only this time that gave him a very significant understanding of the "school" that also bears the name of Hogwarts. impression.

Before, he had only heard from Lily that she called the castle a taming field. Only now did he realize that the name might not be an exaggeration at all.

After Dumbledore left, Jon drank the polyjuice potion with Smith's hair in it. It didn't taste very good, like drinking a bottle of bitter melon water, and his current appearance and identity also changed.

Jon in the carriage would temporarily disappear for a year, and one of the Mudblood students at Hogwarts Castle would be replaced with a completely new person.

He needs to help Dumbledore find something in that castle.

After Voldemort occupied the original Hogwarts, perhaps due to his previous experience of being rejected by Dumbledore from allowing him to serve here, he had an almost paranoid desire to control the school.

All the staff in the castle were replaced by his closest subordinates. In the Ministry of Magic, he only had the honorary title of lifelong minister, but he personally served as the principal of Hogwarts Castle, although he would not actually stay there. In a castle.

The censorship within the castle is also extremely strict, even higher than the martial law within the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore and Jon reminded that they had also tried to get an adult wizard to drink polyjuice potion and pretend to be a student to enter the castle, but they were discovered by a spell that could detect age. The man named Dedalus Digg's wizard was eventually captured and imprisoned on the prison island called Azkaban.

Because the division of blood and class rule are the basic policies of Voldemort's government, they have very precise management of the identity of every pure-blood and mixed-race student. In addition, these students are not oppressed. They all have their own families. It is difficult for the Order of the Phoenix to create an identity for Jon as a mixed-blood or pure-blood student.

In contrast, almost all of the "Mudbloods" became orphans from the day they were brought into the castle.

Beautiful families have become a thing of the past. Even if they try their best to stand in front of their parents, their parents will only find it strange that this strange child is crying to them.

When mixed-blood and pure-blood students go home for the holidays, they have to work for free in shops all over the wizarding world. As long as they don't starve to death, no matter what kind of persecution they suffer in the meantime, Hogwarts Castle and the Ministry of Magic They won't even ask.

"Mudbloods" have never been treated as human beings in the current wizarding world, which makes it more difficult for Jon to carry out some actions in Hogwarts Castle, while also providing him with safe protection.

Precisely because they are as humble as soil, the noble people who step on the soil rarely pay attention to whether the soil under their feet has changed from black soil to yellow mud.

The cellar was cold and damp, not a suitable place for people to live.

But Jon, who was lying on the musty-smelling bed, didn't care much about it. It was not like he had never been in a worse living environment than this. At least he still had a bed to lie on.

It’s not that Aikemo didn’t want to provide Smith, who originally lived here, with good treatment, but in today’s social atmosphere, the kindness he showed not only failed to bring any improvement to Smith’s life, but might even It will harm him.

And now, as he said, after Jon took over Smith's identity, Exmo used the Forgetting Curse to erase all his memories of Jon and Dumbledore being here today, so that even in the future he would Whatever accident happens here will not affect Jon in Hogwarts Castle.

From now on, Dumbledore is the only one in the world who knows where Jon has been and what he has done, and for the rest of the day, Jon himself can only be seen.

Under the dim light of the cellar, he carefully read through the records about the boy Smith's personality and habits. Even if no one would pay special attention to a "mudblood", he would try not to do anything that was inconsistent with Smith's personality. matter.

The night gradually deepened, and the first night of changing identities passed like this.

Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, Jon got up and put on the shabby linen robe, washed briefly, and then drank a bottle of compound that was distributed in a dose that was effective enough to last 12 hours. After the decoction, climb up from the cellar to the potion shop.

The store hasn't opened yet, and Aikemo hasn't gotten up yet, but usually at this time, it's time for Smith to start working.

He picked up half a bucket of water at the sink, then picked up a mop that was almost as high as his body and started cleaning the floor of the potion shop with wet water. After that, he had to clean the shelves where the potions were placed, as well as the display windows and the cashier.

Normally, wizards only need a cleaning spell to complete these cleaning tasks, but for "Mudbloods" who don't have a wand, they have to do it themselves, even though Smith is only 12 years old now.

At around seven o'clock, when the store was about to officially open for business, Aikemo came out of the bedroom. By this time, Jon had already cleaned the floor and shelves, and was preparing to clean the windows.

"Good morning, Mr. Ikemo." Jon greeted him in Smith's timid tone.

Aikemo, who no longer had the memory of Jon and the real Smith's replacement, found nothing unusual. He looked at Jon and nodded in response, and then opened the door of the store.

Jon's work cannot stop, especially during the opening hours of the potion shop. If he is seen by the customers who are lazy at all, then these people may write to Hogwarts Castle to inform the school.

These behaviors will be recorded by specialized personnel. When school starts, depending on the number of "complaints", the castle administrator will hang the erring "Mudblood" in public and whip him for punishment.

The effect of Polyjuice Potion lasts for different times depending on the skill of the person who brews it. The longest time is 12 hours or more. In the original book, the effect of Hermione's first brew lasted for about more than an hour.

It’s half past two when I finished writing this chapter. I really couldn’t stand it any longer. I promised to write an extra chapter when I woke up during the day. I felt that my waist was aching, and I would be dead if I didn’t sleep.

Good night.
