Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

Of course, dropping out of school is not what Jodi wants, and he is also looking for some excuses for himself to go back.

Besides, if I, who know the Book of Prophecy well, don’t even dare to face my own destiny, how can I achieve great development if I survive?

The best magic school in the wizarding world is Hogwarts, there is no doubt about this!

‘Isn’t it good to live?’ Jody didn’t know which consideration was calling him in his mind.

But the sound was so quiet that Jody didn't even notice it.

It was later that Jody learned the details of last night through various channels. It caused such a big fuss and ended up burning down half of the street in Diagon Alley. Aurors arrested four wanted criminals and ten people were seriously injured.

Ended up being sent to a magic hospital.

There is no accurate information as to whether there are any deaths.

Judging from the letters sent back by the agency, Jodi's bounty was ultimately not taken by any capable person, and the bounty hunter finally let the target go due to internal strife at the critical juncture.

But after all the trouble today, Gringotts has to strengthen its defense no matter what. Maybe with better luck, Quirrell won't be able to return to Hogwarts in the end?

But if Quirrell really died outside because of his various schemes, what should Jody say when he dreamed about him at midnight?

Jodi couldn't help but feel disappointed when he thought of this.

Loss is a luxury for a mature person, and Jodi does not regret his decision.

The night before, when Quirrell realized that Jody recognized his face, he who originally just wanted to run away actually had murderous intentions towards him.

There was no joking in that powerful Cang Yan, and coupled with those death curses...if it hadn't been for the experimental mice wholesaled from the pet store, Jodi would not have died twice in one life.

Now that it has been considered, there is no doubt which plan should be presented to Lockhart.

"...Here's your share of the money, as promised." Jody put the envelope on the table along with the plan.

Lockhart probably knew what amount the envelope represented. He looked very reserved and had no intention of taking the envelope.

His attention was attracted by the plan.

After carefully reading every arrangement in the plan, he finally looked at Jodi pitifully, "You're going to disappear for so long, what should I do?"

Jody shrugged, "Keep it up, do what you're good at, I've seen your popularity and your fans. Then keep up your character, and secretly finish the bad things you did before...

…These shouldn’t be difficult for you.”

After speaking, Jodi changed his position, sitting on the edge of the bed with his fingers crossed against his chin, and half of his face was covered in shadow, "Or take out the money and go on an escape that you have planned for a long time. You must be better than me in these."

If you think about it earlier, you will have more clues than I do."

Lockhart's mind followed Jody's words, as if he was now on the loose where no one could find him. That was certainly attractive, but...

"...Listen, Ian. We...we can be considered friends. Although you may not think so, but ~ look! You know almost everything about me, as well as my character and abilities. And I also completely trust you.

you……"

The aspect of trust needs to be discussed, Jody watched with interest as Lockhart stammered his thoughts.

This person is not greedy for money, nor is he lustful.

He will only be obsessed with those vain reputations and like the feeling of being surrounded by fans. He is willing to reply to every fan, even those negative fans who maliciously attack him cannot make him depressed.

Every star is a fake created with painstaking efforts. Only the feeling of yearning for a star is real.

The money was not his goal, what he was obsessed with was the false status that Jody created for him.

"Is it true that as long as I last until after Christmas, you can give me the next plan? You will show up, right!" Lockhart confirmed repeatedly.

It's a pity that Jodi has determined that he can't spend more energy on these boring things this year. After all, the impromptu fraud is just the icing on the cake. The amount of money he received has made Jodi very satisfied.

But he couldn't just let Lockhart give up his intention. "I have carefully written down the plan. If I fail to show up during Christmas, you have to prepare to get out."

I have also prepared the general outline of the new book for you, and some of the rules of the card game can bring enough anticipation to support your safe escape."

"..." Lockhart was silent for a long time, "I will not withdraw my share of the money for the time being. I know that magic research requires funds. You can use them to recruit some unappreciated people. I know there are many such people.

Exists, as long as a similar fake can appear... maybe!"

Jodi looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue speaking. It was so quiet that one could not help but feel a trace of despair deep in his heart.

"I, I know. These are beyond the scope of what I should consider." Lockhart finally failed to express all the thoughts that had been running through his mind early in the morning.

He could think of what he said, and Jody could certainly think of it too.

Jody finally sighed. Once upon a time, he also wanted to be a gentle guy. "At the moment, I can only guarantee the Christmas part."

Lockhart might have wanted to say something else, but he didn't in the end.

Jody could imagine what kind of pressure the other party would be under in the coming days, and hoped he could withstand it.

In the Book of Prophecy, Quirrell attacked Gringotts just a few days before the start of school.

So when all was said and done, and Geordie had once again escaped all attention as Ian Rich, he was already on his way to King's Station after transforming back into Geordie Joyce.

The first day of school is here.

In the end, Everil was unable to travel with him, and several exaggerated and shouting letters from her family in the last few days called her back.

If Mr. Ollivander hadn't come forward to explain that the girl had been living in his daughter's room and studying beside him during this period, it would have been very difficult for Everille to cope with it when she returned home.

A thousand times later, when I walked past the stone pillars of platform nine and three-quarters again, when the Hogwarts Express appeared in front of me.

Jody slapped his forehead.

Textbooks, new crucibles and new school uniforms, he bought nothing again!

"Hi! Jodi!" A surprised voice sounded from Jodi's left side.

"Brother...why do you have so little luggage?" Another very similar voice answered from Jody's right.

"Never mind that, I'm afraid we need to ask you for something later." Fred put his arm on Jodi's shoulder and drew his attention to him.

"After thinking about it, the only one who can help us is you, my friend."

Not to be outdone, George walked around in front of Jody and deliberately lowered his waist to thrust his big face into Jody's line of sight.

"That's enough, you two!" When he saw the two brothers, Jody's troubles seemed to disappear all at once, "Please... just be more polite when you say things!"

The effect of the prank also made the two brothers very happy. They looked at each other and said in unison, "We hope you can introduce it so that we can have an opportunity to learn from the magic shop."

"This shouldn't be difficult. We have written letters ourselves. Most of them are willing to answer, but it would be better if we could go on field trips to Hogsmeade every weekend!" George added.

A few days ago, he was busy planning a murder trap, but in the blink of an eye, he blended into this group of students. At first glance, he seemed to be no different from them.

The twins heated up the atmosphere and dispelled the last trace of gloom in Jodi's heart.

The whistle of the Hogwarts Express sounded, as if from a different world, dragging Jody back to that world.
