In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"I rescued Asia. On the day she gave me the bracelet, she thought she was pretending to be very similar, but in fact I could see the depression and despair. Then I learned from Professor Dumbledore There was a Fawkes feather coming over there, I didn’t tell her what it was or how to use it, it was just used as an anchor point for apparating, just in case.”

"But actually, that feather didn't come in handy in the end, because when I saw her being taken away by those pure-blood students from the Marauder's Map, I happened to be in the secret passage. Those people planned to use it on her. I cast the most vicious blood curse to turn her into a half-human, half-animal monster. I wore an invisibility cloak and quietly changed some magic texts on the ground. Those purebloods were simply a group of illiterate people, and the arrangements for imposing curses were rigid. They followed the instructions in the book, but in fact they didn’t know the spell at all. They thought their curse was successful and then left smugly. Asia also thought their curse was successful at the time, but she had actually already prepared to commit suicide. I was ready to self-immolate with a bottle of dead fire potion. I stopped her and took her away from the castle. After returning to the carriage, I asked Professor Dumbledore to help find a dead body and burned the body with the dead fire potion. Drop it and send it back to that classroom."

The melancholy music began to become louder and louder, and the surrounding students began to leave their seats and entered the center of the auditorium.

Jon felt his ears itching a little. Hermione was talking a lot in his ears, and the hot breath she breathed stimulated his nerves.

"It's very risky for you to do this. If Auror or Crouch investigates a little more carefully, he will find that those ashes are not Asia at all."

Hermione was noncommittal.

"This is a bet. My bargaining chip is that I know Crouch's contempt for mixed-bloods and mongrels. To be given such trust by the Dark Lord, he is of course an extremely capable person, but equally, He is also completely lost in his master's lies about pure-blood supremacy, and despises all non-pure-blood wizards. In addition, he is inherently arrogant and believes that all plans are within his control. So I am betting that he will not Go and examine Asia's ashes carefully, because she has completed all her tasks, handed the bracelet into my hands, and finally ended her life as he expected, so why does he still want to observe those remains?"

Bold and careful, Hermione did almost everything she could. She didn't watch Asia accept her tragic fate, nor did she shrink back when faced with difficulties and dangers, which impressed even Jon. .

"Then what is the use of this bracelet? What effect will it have on me when it is worn on your hand?" Jon asked puzzledly about this most critical question.

A mysterious smile appeared on Hermione's lips, and her voice was unexpectedly playful.

"you guess."

"Could it be that Crouch actually cast some evil curse on it? As long as I touched this bracelet and he saw it at the dance, he would trigger the evil curse and make me die in public?"

"Then the risk of him doing this will be greater? Asia gave the bracelet to me so early. If Professor Dumbledore discovers something wrong with the bracelet in the carriage, all his preparations will be in vain. .”

"Then I can't guess."

Jon said bluntly, it was not that he was not smart enough, but that he had not participated in this matter from beginning to end. It was all planned by Hermione and Dumbledore. These days, he was just fishing by the Black Lake.

"If you can't guess it, then I won't tell you."

The smile on Hermione's lips never disappeared, as if there was some interesting secret hidden on this bracelet.

Jon couldn't help but feel speechless. He felt that Hermione was not only imitating his speech, but also learned the bad habit of being the Riddler from Dumbledore.

"What are you going to do soon? Just to attract Crouch and Snape's attention to us?"

Hermione didn't hide this from Jon, she said softly.

"When you were doing the first competition event, I had been looking for the secret room left by Mr. Slytherin. That secret room contained the secret of the Dark Lord's intention to kill the castle, but if it was just for This, then it is completely meaningless for him to do so. According to Mr. Slytherin's speculation, while he wants to kill the castle, he must also want to absorb his will into the entire Hogwarts Castle, that is to say He will have two preparations, one is the secret room, and the other is in other places."

"Have you determined where that place is?"

"This is an easy thing to reason out, isn't it? Compared with the arrangement of killing the castle in the secret room, exerting his own will on the castle is obviously more important to him. In addition, he can only return to the castle twice a year. This is the key He will definitely check the place when he comes back to make sure that the layout is safe, and there is only one place in the entire school that he will go to every time he comes back."

Jon held his breath slightly and said softly.

"Principal room."

"Yes, and because you entered the principal's office once before and brought back the information that the relics of the four founders were placed on the table in that office, Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Slytherin can confirm this even more. His biggest arrangement must be in the principal’s office.”

Jon also agreed with this. When he first entered the principal's office, he felt that there was something wrong with the four relics there, so he didn't act rashly at that time. Now there is indeed a problem.

"But I remember that after I killed the basilisk guarding the principal's office in front of the entrance hall, there were no guards inside, and now there are new ones?"

"Yes, when looking for the entrance to the secret room, Fox tried to go in once. Professor Dumbledore said that he saw a snake inside, a snake that was different from the basilisk. It felt less threatening to it. high."

"So you want to use Crouch's arrangements for me at this Christmas dinner to attract his and Snape's attention, and then enter the principal's office to destroy the Dark Lord's preparations there?"

"Those things are not that easy to destroy. This time is the same as the last time I went to the secret room. I just need to copy the magic words on the table with the four relics. Fox will deal with the snake."

"Why do I always feel that this plan seems a bit familiar?"

"Of course you should feel familiar. Don't forget who covered you when you first entered the principal's office to kill the basilisk when you sneaked into the castle. Now our identities have been swapped, and it's your turn to cover me. .”

"You stole my idea."

Hermione's eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Then how do you want me to pay the compensation?"

"Forget it, I'm a very generous person, you can use it as you like. And one last question, who will pretend to be you and follow me later?"

"Lee Jordan, I originally wanted to find a girl, but you know there are only so many students who come to Hogwarts Castle and I can't find a suitable one. So Professor Dumbledore respected me and decided to give up using the compound recipe altogether. Decoction, he personally used the transfiguration technique on Li, which will be safer at the same time. You will follow his words later, Professor Dumbledore should have told him what should be explained to him."

Of course, Jon was also happy. This time, he finally didn't need to use his brain. He just had to do what he was planned to do step by step.

Halfway through the ball, he and Hermione left the center of the auditorium and returned to their seats. Jon didn't keep staring at Crouch and Snape, but whenever he pretended to casually go to the high platform When I glanced at him, I could always find that there was a hidden and clear gap between these two people every time they wanted to observe him. Obviously this was not a coincidence.

"Wish me luck."

Hermione stood up from Jon's side, and Jon looked up at her. He didn't bless her, but said seriously.

"You must put your own safety first."

"Remember what you promised us every time we went on an adventure? I am just like you, Jon. I am also a person who is afraid of death."

Jon looked helpless.

"But from the time I met you, I never thought you were afraid of death."

"This sentence will also be returned to you."

They looked like they were still bickering, but they acted like they had just talked about some funny joke.

On the high platform, little Barty, who was leaning on the back of a chair, looked at Hermione who stood up and walked toward the bathroom. The smile on her face looked a little cold.

"Why does the drug take effect so slowly?"

Snape remained expressionless.

"You didn't set an accurate time for me at all, so I don't know when the first wave of drug effects will take effect, but what is certain is that all the items in that bracelet will be released by eight o'clock at the latest. The medicine will all evaporate."

"It would be great if you could give such a guarantee."

Little Barty said coldly, and then he waved over a female professor from the pure-blood academy, whispered something in her ear, and then the female professor also walked towards the girls' bathroom.

In the center of the auditorium, the dance was still going on, or in other words, the students in the castle had just officially entered the state. Among them, Emil had already kissed his dance partner in public after the song, which annoyed everyone around him. There was a round of heckling.

Seeing this scene, little Barty didn't know why he felt irritated. He felt a vague uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't tell where this uneasiness came from.

Soon, Hermione walked out of the bathroom again, and the female professor he arranged walked out behind her. The female professor from a distance shook her head vaguely at Barty.

This made him put down some of his restlessness and focus on 'Hermione' and Jon who were reunited.

Jon also looked at 'Hermione' who was exactly the same as when he left just now, no one could tell any difference. The expression on his face did not change, but he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

"This robe is so beautiful, Jon! To be honest, I was a little resistant when Professor Dumbledore brought it to me at first, but after I put it on, I couldn't put it down. Am I beautiful!"

As soon as the drake-like voice of 'Hermione' opened her mouth, Jon almost couldn't hold back on the spot and almost spit out the juice he just drank in his mouth.

"Why didn't you change your voice?" He lowered his voice, turned his back to the direction of Crouch and Snape, and asked with eyes wide open.

The outside was still the same, but in fact, 'Hermione', who had become Li's disguise, had no choice but to spread her hands.

"When Hermione entered just now, there was a professor from the castle following her. The voice-changing potion has a time limit. According to the plan, I would drink the potion when I took over her identity, but because someone was following her, I didn't have time. I can only come out like this first."

"Okay, I can still drink the potion when I get the chance, but can you please stop saying such disgusting things! And ask me if you are beautiful!"

"Hey, this is differential treatment. I'm sure if Hermione had asked you that, you would have praised her for how beautiful she is!"

"Shut up! Since your voice hasn't changed, then say less! How long are we going to stay in the auditorium?"

"Twenty minutes, the timer starts after I sit next to you. After twenty minutes, I will hold your arm and go to the romantic garden together~ Also, we must show that we are chatting all the time, so I can't close Mouth."

"Can you please stop disgusting me with that tone?"

"I thought you would like it. George clearly told me that you originally planned to find a male dance partner. He said that you were actually a hidden gay."

"Thank you for your message, don't worry, I will blow his mouth open with a blasting spell tomorrow!"

"Ho! Then you must call me over to watch when the time comes. I have wanted to do this for a long time!"

Suddenly, Jon looked at Li and narrowed his eyes, staring at the slightly bulging chest in front of him.

"How much of an effect does Professor Dumbledore's Transfiguration have on you? Is it the same as Polyjuice Potion?"

"Of course not. Originally it would have been perfect to find a girl, but since there was no suitable candidate, Professor Dumbledore had no choice but to ask me to take action. In order to protect the lady's privacy, the professor just put my face and The exposed parts have been changed. If you don’t believe it, you can lift my robe and look inside, and you’ll still see healthy dark skin!”

"Then what's going on with your chest?"

Li's face suddenly showed an expression of "I understand."

"The Great Changing Spell, do you want to touch it? It's very soft."

"Go away! You disgust me!"

They communicated in low voices, and there was no one else around, so even if someone looked over at their location, they would just think that the two were chatting about some funny and disgusting joke.

Crouch also saw this scene from a distance, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a cold arc. In his eyes, the mutual harm between Lee and Jon was more like "flirting."

"I feel like your potion has taken effect."

Snape shook the cider in the glass, lowered his head and took a sip.

"Obviously, he has become much more relaxed than before. His eyes have not left the girl's breasts since just now."

I'm still here. If I write 4,000, I'll send it out early in the morning. If I can't write enough, I'll wait until tomorrow.
