In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

The temperature in Hogwarts is getting colder and colder, but the faces of the professors in the castle have not looked good lately.

The library has been banned from any students for two weeks. During this period, Barty Jr. has been in and out frequently, sometimes bringing several experts on special matters from the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

But it seems that they have not made much progress in investigating the "disappearance" of the banned books. Little Barty has not shown the smile that he usually wears on his face for many days. Even the pure-blood students are smiling in front of him. Dare not dare to speak out loudly.

However, these things that happened in the castle, good or bad, have nothing to do with the Mudblood students, and no one would guess that the problem with the banned books would be related to the Mudblood students. After all, these people don't even go to the forbidden book area. Not even close to the library.

According to Jon's estimation, the matter of banned books is already a big deal. If the professors in the castle cannot find out the reason, then Voldemort will most likely come to the school to check the situation in the library.

But from the beginning to the end, Voldemort never returned to Hogwarts Castle. He seemed to be busy with other important things. Even if such a big thing happened, he had no intention of coming to the school to investigate in person.

However, after three weeks of investigation without any results, Barty Jr. and Snape left the school together for a few days. When they came back, both of their faces were a little pale, and no one asked them about going out. What did they do in the past few days? After they came back, they canceled all investigations into the library, and then moved the few remaining forbidden books that were not destroyed, and moved them all away from Hogwarts Castle. .

The accident in the castle had no impact on Jon. When the school staff initially investigated the library, he cautiously suspended spell practice for three days, and later used the Marauder's Map at night. After observing that no one was out in the castle after midnight, he continued with his original schedule.

The whole month of November passed quietly like this.

In the meantime, Hermione organized another rally. After living a miserable life for too long, these Mudblood students will become numb. Hermione can only try her best to remind them that they still have dignity as human beings, otherwise she will never give up. People with integrity will become a habit if they are trampled on for a long time. This is why Voldemort chose to squeeze and abuse these children from the time they entered school at the age of 11.

During this period, Jon went to the Hog's Head Bar twice more through the secret passage. Not only did he learn all the possible spells from Aberforth, but he also further discussed with him the plans for Christmas Day.

Jon's progress in learning spells shocked Aberforth. He knew very well that given the living conditions of Mudblood students in Hogwarts Castle, normally Jon would hardly find time to practice spells in private. , none of the spells he taught Jon were too advanced, but there was always a process of practice making perfect. According to Aberforth's original estimate, by December, he would be able to learn two or three. It can be considered that Jon is extremely talented.

But so far, he has taught Jon a total of eight or nine magic spells, including several transformation spells, and Jon can basically use them smoothly.

Although his proficiency was obviously a bit rusty, it was far beyond Aberforth's expectations.

A normal second-year student can only learn so many spells in one school year, but Jon only followed him intermittently for less than two months. Even if he could practice during this period, his practice time would be greatly limited. , can be used to this extent.

This reminded him with complicated emotions of a person, his brother Albus Dumbledore when he was a child.

When Dumbledore was in second grade, he was like Jon now, learning any new spells with ease, and even more exaggeratedly, he was able to complete the high-end transformation of dead objects into living objects at the age of 12. Technique.

Learning magic really depends on talent, and Jon is obviously also an extremely talented student.

"As for the rooster, I have chosen a target. When you come to my place one last time on the day before Christmas, you can take the chicken away."

The wind was very strong tonight, and a whistling sound could be heard outside in the Hog's Head Bar. Aberforth brought Jon a cup of hot cocoa so that he could warm up in such weather.

"It's probably going to snow in two days." Jon looked at the weather outside the window, holding hot cocoa and said, "The Dark Lord won't appear at the castle banquet on Christmas Day, right?"

Aberforth nodded affirmatively.

"His most important status now is not just the principal of Hogwarts. Most of the forces in the entire wizarding world rely on him to maintain it. On such an important day as Christmas, he will hold a grand banquet to entertain It is said that those under him will also summarize the development of the magic world this year at this banquet, which means that there will not be many professors left in the castle by then, and all his core subordinates will They will all attend the banquet outside the castle."

Jon asked thoughtfully.

"In other words, there are actually very few students and staff who stay in school every Christmas?"

"It's very small. Basically, the total number of people attending the castle dinner is only a dozen or so. Almost all the mixed-blood and pure-blood students have their own families. They all have to go home on Christmas Day, and the teachers left behind The employees are also people who have no families and are marginalized in the Dark Lord's influence, so Christmas night is indeed your best chance."

"I have one more question."

As Christmas is getting closer, Jon must clearly anticipate all possible accidents and situations before starting the action.

"If I finally succeed in killing the basilisk, will the Dark Lord sense it immediately?"

Aberforth frowned and thought seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head and said.

"No, there is no such magic in the magic world that connects people's induction with the status of magical animals. This already involves some magic blind spots. The black devil is strong in the destructive power of black magic and strange curses. He Such a thing cannot be done.”

Jon actually felt that no matter how much Voldemort changed, it would be impossible for him to achieve this level.

After all, in the original work, even if his own Horcrux was destroyed, he himself did not even receive any response, not to mention that the connection between the basilisk and him was definitely not to the level of a Horcrux.
