In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"If she has always had this attitude, of course I won't help her." Jon said casually, "But that crown has special meaning not only for her, but also for the entire Hogwarts." It is an important relic, and if I have the chance to get it, I will definitely take it back.”

Nick was not very surprised by Jon's answer. He knew very well from the beginning that Jon was a typical boss who would take the soft and not the hard. With Ms. Gray's attitude of asking for help, no one would want to help. She something.

After communicating with Jon about Ms. Gray, Nick left Jon's dormitory.

There are less than three weeks until the start of school in September and the start of the Triwizard Tournament. During this time, although Jon has completed the second step of making the Animagus potion, he has never Idle.

In addition to using the ring to cast spells on his heart every day at sunrise and sunset, and making necessary preparations, he also continued to delve deep into the forbidden book area in the second gem, constantly absorbing magical knowledge. .

After this trip to the North Pole, the magic power originally absorbed from the stone slabs in the tower has been consumed to some extent. However, as the magic power is exhausted, the knowledge about the forbidden books in the gems is still retained.

Jon had previously relied on the content in it, combined with Grindelwald's teachings, to fully master the three unforgivable curses. Now he has mastered the other two that are not black magic, but are more terrifying than black magic in most cases. The spell took hold.

Oblivion Charm and Legilimency.

The functions of these two spells are to modify and read people's thoughts respectively, which are much more insidious than the spells that cause harm to people on the surface.

Voldemort's rule in Britain has become more and more stable, and the Forgetting Curse is indispensable. He has never been afraid of the emergence of determined resisters. No matter how strong a person's will is, it cannot compare to absolute magic.

In the British Ministry of Magic, the department that disgusts wizards regardless of origin is the Memory Cancellation Command of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters.

Any ideological heresy will eventually face the wizards of this department and have their ideas and memories tampered with.

Sometimes people's feelings are so simple. All their thoughts are related to their memories. Once the memories are changed, they will naturally undergo essential changes.

The current director of the Office of the Memory Cancellation Command is a very famous guy - Gilderoy Lockhart, a former best-selling author and adventurer, now a demon who controls minds, and an important lackey under Voldemort.

His Forgetting Curse is so good that almost all die-hards will eventually be solved in his hands. He is also one of the most respected wizards in the Ministry of Magic and is regarded by Voldemort.

Of course Jon still remembers this liar. It has to be said that Voldemort now really has a pair of eyes that are good at discovering talents. Lockhart probably only has one advantage in his body: the Oblivion Curse, which can be found by him, and It has played such a big role in my career.

This can also show the power of the Forgetting Curse. Jon even felt that if this spell had not been able to break the curse, it would definitely be more terrifying than the Soul Imperius Curse among the three unforgivable curses.

Then there is Legilimency, which is different from the Forgetting Curse that modifies people's memories. This spell can read people's memories, and it can also extract memories from people's brains and transform them into substantial silver lines that can be used by everyone else. Watch.

In terms of destructive power, these two spells are definitely not comparable to magic like the Explosive Curse or the Shadowless Blade, but their unique functionality is unmatched by any other magic.

Jon felt that he might be able to use these two magics on his second trip to Hogwarts Castle.

Fortunately, the Forgetting Curse is a relatively versatile spell. It is not difficult to learn. What is difficult is how to master it later.

The opposite is Legilimency. The difficulty of this spell lies in getting started. Once you get started, it will be easy to master it.

So he initially focused all his energy on the Oblivion Curse. After he was basically able to use it, he began to shift his focus to Legilimency.

As Jon studied in depth, Hermione, Ron, and Neville also returned to Hogwarts in the last week of August. Only when Neville returned to the dormitory did Jon know that Mrs. Gray had not He left, but stayed here, as if he would never leave like Nick.

Jon didn't say anything about this. Although this lady was a bit domineering, she was not a bad person, otherwise she wouldn't be one of the resident ghosts of Hogwarts.

And just less than three days before the start of their fourth grade in September, Durmstrang's deputy principal Rozier brought a dozen students and their school's warrior-Diane Rozier. Arrive at Hogwarts.

Although there were four schools participating in the competition called the Triwizard Tournament this time, they were actually divided into two camps.

Regardless of who wins the final victory, Jon or Diane, it represents Dumbledore's victory in the bet and Voldemort's defeat, so of course there must be a certain degree of mutual exchange between the two schools.

Diane was very respectful after seeing Jon, or in other words, all Durmstrang students were very respectful after seeing Jon.

"Professor Green."

In the lunch hall, Lupine and Sirius, who were still here to take care of the middle school students during the holidays, looked at the scene of a group of Durmstrang students bowing to Jon with strange expressions.

"I thought that school had other intentions before, but it turned out that they really wanted to drag Jon to be a professor?" Lupine said softly.

Sirius shrugged.

"Honestly, I've never heard of a 14-year-old professor."

"Don't tell me whether you've heard of it or not. Even if you look through the history of magic now, you won't be able to find anyone under the age of 18."

Sirius narrowed his already sharp eyes.

"However, even if they really want Jon to be a professor, it doesn't mean they don't have other intentions. I have always felt that the principal who joined forces with Dumbledore did not intend to help us."

Lupine said calmly.

"We don't need to worry about this. I think Professor Dumbledore should know better than all of us."

Facing the respectful attitude of the Durmstrang students, Jon actually had a headache.

He agreed to be the professor of Transfiguration because he wanted to learn knowledge from Grindelwald, not to mention that so far, he had only been in the name of a professor, and had actually never given a single class to these students.

Gaining respect for no reason like this made Jon a little uncomfortable with it.

"Actually, you can just call me Jon. At least you don't have to call me professor when you're not in class."

However, before the students could answer, Rozier frowned and spoke.

"These are the rules, Professor Green. The rules set by the principal for Durmstrang. Since you have accepted the position of professor, while enjoying its conveniences, you must also abide by its rules."

Jon could only say helplessly.

"Well, since this is your rule."

Durmstrang's students came here early, of course for their own purposes. Rozier had already taken Diane to meet Dumbledore, but obviously they did not get the results they wanted there.

"We asked Principal Dumbledore what kind of cooperation the two schools should have in the next game, but he said that we just need everyone to do their best and help each other as much as possible during the game."

During lunch, Diane sat next to Jon. The Durmstrang girl prefect has entered seventh grade this year and is three years older than Jon. Girls develop earlier than boys, which makes She was a forehead taller than Jon.

However, the difference in age did not change the primary and secondary relationship between the two. Not only Jon’s status as a professor at Durmstrang, whoever saw Jon on the night of the warrior selection His performance would make him look like an ordinary fourth-year student.

Jon was not surprised by Diane's words. In fact, even he still didn't understand why Dumbledore had promised Voldemort to use the Triwizard Tournament to decide the outcome of the war in France.

Perhaps it was for the sake of fewer casualties, perhaps because he had enough trust in him, or perhaps because he was wary of Voldemort, but Jon felt that these could only be secondary reasons. The main purpose was that Dumbledore did not tell anyone else. up, including him.

"Just like what Professor Dumbledore said." Jon said, "Winning or losing doesn't matter for now, ensure your own life safety first during the game. If necessary, we must put each other's safety first. Rather than winning or losing.”

The expression on Diane's face was obviously stunned.

Even though she is kind-hearted, she is still a student who came out of the Rozier family and received Grindelwald's education.

Deeply influenced by the phrase "for the greatest good", although her concept is not to the point of using any means necessary for the final victory, if she can sacrifice herself to achieve final success, she feels that this should be the principal of the two schools. The consensus between them is correct.

However, neither Dumbledore nor Jon himself clearly understood this consensus, and actually put their personal safety above the collective interests, which made Diane somewhat unacceptable.

She even thought about whether Jon and Dumbledore felt that her participation in the competition on behalf of Durmstrang was just a tack on, and it would be the same with or without her, so they used such rhetoric to deal with her.

Jon didn't think about what Diane was thinking, he was thinking about going to Hogwarts Castle.

The secrets in that castle are definitely more than that. Jon had a clear goal when he sneaked in last time, so he couldn't explore more.

And this Triwizard Tournament will allow him to stay there for at least one school year, which means that he will have a lot of time to study things that he originally didn't have the energy to explore.

After this period of study, Jon has mastered the Oblivion Curse and can barely use Legilimency.

The Forgetting Curse is of course easy to master, but to the extent that he can use it, it can only erase the memory in the most rough way, but cannot modify the memory in such a detailed way.

As for the reluctant use of Legilimency, based on the situation he currently knows, there is actually no way to use it in practice. He can only draw out a tiny thought silver when a person actively and completely puts down his guard mentally. Silk.

But no matter what, the greatest progress is to be able to use it from scratch. If you want to be proficient in it later, as long as you continue to practice, there will always be results.

Jon has never relaxed in his magic skills. At the same time, as he gets older, the magic power in his body also continues to grow.

The strength of magic power in Jon's body now is at least three times that of when he was in first grade. Even without the help of the magic power stored in the second gem of the ring, he can still use the drifting spell for a long time.

This also significantly increased the intensity of the various spells he used.

And the day after Durmstrang's students came to Lyon to join the students at Hogwarts, Dumbledore also came to the school from the headquarters of Witchcraft.

Today is the last day of August. Tomorrow is not only the day when school starts, but also the official start of the Triwizard Tournament.

This means that early tomorrow morning, Dumbledore will lead students from the two schools to the Hogwarts Castle. The night before departure, he summoned all the students at Hogwarts in advance.

This year's recruitment of new students has ended during the summer vacation. Compared with previous years, the number of new students this year is far greater than before.

Because with the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance, not only British hemp students can be brought to school in advance, but now that the Wu Ping Line has essentially controlled all areas in France except Paris, We can take advantage of the situation and recruit French students with hemp seeds.

So there were a lot of new students in Jon's fourth grade class, even half as many as the previous toughest period on the wagon.

The welcome dinner for new students will also be held tonight, because tomorrow is also the day when Hogwarts officially starts classes.

In addition to the usual banquet, Dumbledore announced that he would take ten Hogwarts students to Hogwarts Castle. Students who wanted to go voluntarily signed up, but in the end only students in third grade and above would be selected.

In this regard, the students were very enthusiastic. Except for some students who were rescued by Jon from the castle and had a psychological shadow on that school, almost every eligible student threw their name into the registration. In a stone basin.

In the end, McGonagall randomly selected ten from those slips of paper and determined the candidates to go to Hogwarts Castle this time.

Among the students in the same grade as Jon, only two girls, Hermione and Lavender, were drawn. When their names were drawn, Lavender cheered for joy, while Hermione looked calm. , I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Of the Weasley twins, only George's name was drawn. Fred was annoyed about this and discussed with George whether they could change their names. No one would notice anyway, but George poked him in the arm with a fork. .

After all the preparations were settled, they spent the first night of this school year at Hogwarts, and it might also be the last.

Then, when it was still dark the next day, the Durmstrang students led by Rozier and the Hogwarts students led by Dumbledore got on the Hogwarts car that had been transformed from a ship. carriage.

This was brought to Durmstrang's students when they came. After Jon took the Hogwarts to reach the ice in the center of the North Pole, it returned to Durmstrang on its own. in the lake.

For the students at Hogwarts, this carriage is the place they are most familiar with.

When Jon and the others boarded the carriage, Hagrid was already sitting in the cab, just like him before.

Compared with the students, Hagrid was more excited, and the flush of excitement could still be clearly seen on most of his face, which was covered by his thick beard.

Jon did not follow other students into the carriage, but sat directly on Hagrid's large chair, just like when he came here for the first time in the first grade.

"I still remember what I served you, black tea and cream cakes, but you said you were not hungry and just drank a cup of black tea."

Hagrid smiled and brought a cup of steaming black tea to Jon. Jon took it from his hand and watched him make the final preparations before setting sail.

Jon held the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

Directly in front, the Thestrals were no longer invisible in his eyes like they were three years ago, but instead clearly showed their original faces.

Jon looked at those black horses with fleshy wings like bats, with a subtle smile on his face.

"It's nice to see that this isn't a sad thing for you guys."

His voice was so soft that even Hagrid, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hear what he was saying.

"What did you say?"

Hagrid waved the reins while asking questions. The next moment, the Thestrals pulling the carriage did not run, but directly unfolded their broad black wings!

This carriage, which could only turn its wheels on British soil, flew into the sky with the tug of the Thestrals!

The breeze filtered by the windproof spell blew Jon's bangs on his forehead. He held the tea cup, took another sip of the black tea in it, and answered softly.

"I still remember what you said at that time. Do you know what is the sentence that impressed me the most? Hagrid."

"Um?"

The carriage passed through the low clouds, but the broad black wings of the Thestrals did not stop. They continued to rise until they completely jumped out of the highest cloud.

Jon squinted his eyes and looked at the horizon, the rising sun was brighter and dazzling than ever.

"At that time, I asked you, does our journey have a destination?

Hagrid said with a smile.

"Ah, I answered you with Dumbledore's words."

Jon stood on the bench, holding on to the high table in front of him that was connected to the entire carriage. The breeze cheered in his ears, the clouds jumped at his feet, and the sun illuminated the celebration.

"The end will not come to us on its own, but we are very close to it. Let us take back our castle now."

Thousands of days! There is another chapter of five thousand before 12 o'clock
