In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Aarhus, on the eastern coast of Jutland, is Denmark's second largest city.

According to the information received by Madame Maxime, the Delacour family is hiding here.

As an old friend of the Delacour family, Madame Maxime had indeed been investigating the whereabouts of Gabrielle's parents after escaping from France, as she had told Dumbledore before.

It's just that the whole of Europe is so big, especially if you want to find a wizard who can use magic and can use potions to change your appearance, it's really not easy to find.

She could only investigate through some of her connections in Northern Europe and found out that there was once a girl named Fleur who looked very much like Sister Gabrielle. She had been bumped into in the central Danish city of Haining.

After all, she is a Veela hybrid, so as long as she shows her true colors, she will always leave a very deep impression on others.

Following this news, Madame Maxime followed up and discovered that the Delacour family later moved again, from Herning to Aarhus.

Following this clue, Jon and Hermione brought Gabrielle to this coastal city.

Madame Maxime did not come with them because the French Provisional Ministry of Magic got in touch with her again, and the entire Beauxbatons is still under the control phase it was in when it was first taken over.

She was needed as an experienced witch who had been the principal for many years and immediately went back to take charge of the overall situation, preparing to start the work of accepting this year's new students that was about to begin.

After arriving in Aarhus, Jon and the others did not hide their identities.

Although Jon is now almost well-known in the wizarding world, in the eyes of Muggles, he is not so eye-catching.

Moreover, keeping Gabrielle as she is will also help her family discover her better.

"Where do we start?"

Gabrielle, who was wearing a dress, seemed to rarely see so many people. She hid behind Jon, looked at the people coming and going on the street, and asked in a low voice.

Jon was studying a letter that Mrs. Maxim left for him. It said that in a neighborhood on the western outskirts of Aarhus, there was a squib who provided information to Mrs. Maxim.

The only people who can live in such a big Muggle city and integrate into it are squibs who have broken away from the magical world and are disliked by most wizards.

Especially in the past few years, the conflicts in the magical world have become more and more intense, and the life of the Squibs has become even more difficult. Many of them have completely cut off their ties with the magical world, and have given up thinking that they are still "wizards" Arrogance and fantasy are completely integrated into Muggle life and society.

"Dennis Kass, this is the person we need to find first. According to the information Mrs. Maxim gave us, he sent a message saying that he saw people suspected of being your parents and sister in Aarhus two months ago."

Hermione had already looked at the city map in front of a bus stop next to them, and soon she found the street they needed to go to.

"It's not very far from us. Maybe we can just take a taxi there."

Of course they had money for a taxi. When they first arrived here, the Wupingxian wizard stationed here gave them some local currency.

Of course it wasn't a lot of money, but it was enough for them to spend three or four days without being too frugal.

Of course, Jon readily accepted the proposal. He waved a taxi to a stop. Since he didn't speak Danish, he directly showed the driver the place name on the letter.

It seemed like it was her first time for Gabrielle to ride in a car, and she was very curious about this Muggle's big iron box-like means of transportation. She sat in the back seat with Hermione, looking around, as if she had just arrived from the countryside. A girl from the city.

The driver seemed very talkative and spoke a lot in Danish at first, but Jon could only respond in English that he didn't understand.

The two of them immediately had no way to communicate, because the driver's English sounded very poor. When he said something, Jon had to think about it for a long time before he understood what it meant.

Soon they reached the location on the letter.

This is a courtyard that doesn't look very big. There is a two-story red-roofed building in the courtyard, surrounded by green lawns and a small garden.

Jon, Hermione and Gabrielle pushed open the courtyard door, came to the room door, and knocked on it.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and then a boy who looked to be only six or seven years old opened the door and stared at them with blinking eyes.

Jon waved at him, a smile on his face.

"Does Dennis Cass live here?"

The boy obviously understood English. He looked at Jon, then at Hermione, and finally at Gabrielle, who was standing next to Jon.

For some reason, his face suddenly turned red, and then he turned around and shouted into the room.

"Mom! Someone is looking for dad."

Following the boy's shout, a woman in an apron soon walked out of the room as if she had just put down the vacuum cleaner in her hand. She looked at Jon and the others in confusion.

"you."

"It's Madame Maxime." Jon showed her the letter he was holding in his hand. "Your husband's friend, madam, we are her juniors, and she asked us to come to visit."

Obviously Mrs. Cass knew the surname Maxim. After confirming the letter in Jon's hand, she invited the three of them into the house and asked them to sit in the living room and rest first. Dennis Cass I work in a nearby supermarket and come back for lunch.

Then she prepared tea and cakes for them. When the boy named Henry Cass brought the cookies, he kept looking at Gabrielle secretly.

Of course, Gabrielle noticed his gaze, and pulled her mouth and made a face at him, causing the boy to shyly run and hide behind his mother.

Mrs. Cass didn't seem to know what kind of identity her husband had, and she really regarded the arrival of Jon and the others as a polite visit from a friend's junior family.

She put down her housework and chatted with Jon in front of the sofa.

They were all normal inquiries, asking Jon who Mrs. Maxim was, what school she was attending now, and why she came to Denmark this time.

Of course, these questions were avoided by Jon's vague words.

Since Mr. Cass hid the matters in the magical world from his family, he naturally had his own ideas. Jon had no intention of ruining the couple's love life before they met.

Some of the words were difficult to write even if they were written right now. Fortunately, Hermione was there to help support her. Gabrielle obediently didn't speak from the beginning and was able to deal with Mrs. Cass.

At about 11:30 noon, a middle-aged man of medium build and slightly balding returned home.

He is exactly the Dennis Cass that Jon and the others are looking for on this trip.

After seeing Jon and the others, the Squib, who had been away from the magic world for a long time, was obviously stunned for a moment. After hearing his wife introduce him as Mrs. Maxim's descendants, the expression on his face obviously became a little solemn.

After finding an excuse to separate his wife and son, Dennis took Jon and the others to the study to prepare a closed environment for conversation.

Jon didn't say anything polite, he just handed Mrs. Maxim's letter over.

"We are from France, Mr. Cass, a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This visit is mainly because you contacted Mrs. Maxim before and said that you had heard about the Delacour family? "

Mr. Dennis read the letter, and then turned his eyes to Gabrielle, who was looking at him nervously. He could obviously recognize her as the youngest daughter of the Delacour family.

"You didn't say anything to my family, did you?"

The first thing he asked was whether anything about wizards had been leaked. Jon and Hermione looked at each other. Their previous concealment was obviously a thoughtful consideration.

"No, sir, I told Madam that we were all Madame Maxime's nephews and nieces, without revealing anything about the magical world."

Dennis was relieved to hear them say that, he explained.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to question you. You are students at Hogwarts, and you should know how unsafe the wizarding world has been over the years. I have always hidden things about that world from my family. I just don't want to Let them be watched by someone and be in fear all day long.”

Jon certainly understands this.

"The news about the Delacour family was actually two months ago. The local newspaper reported that the police caught two sexual harassment criminals. The two men harassed a couple living at 9 Cromwell Street all day long. The news article recorded that the daughter's name was Fleur Wilke, and she was very beautiful like her mother. Because I had learned about the appearance of the Delacour family from Madame Maxime. , so I feel that the mother and daughter in this matter should be them."

After listening to Dennis's statement, Jon also felt that it was very similar to the description of Gabriel's mother and sister.

As a mother and daughter with Veela blood, it is normal for them to encounter sexual harassment. They cannot control the passive charm-like magic at all. If they are pure-bred Veela, normal wizards will have difficulty. Resistance, let alone muggles.

It's just hard to tell based on the hair. People with silver-white hair are not uncommon in Denmark and Northern Europe, but this is also evidence.

I got the exact news from Dennis that Jon and the others did not stay for lunch anymore.

Dennis also saw that Gabri couldn't wait to jump into the arms of her parents, so she didn't necessarily want to keep them, but sent them out the door with her wife and son.

Cromwell Street is a little far from where they are now, but for Jon and the others, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

They only received so much funds in total. Even if they wanted to save money, they would have no place to spend it after they left Denmark.

He called another taxi and came to the Cromwell street that Dennis mentioned.

Things went extremely smoothly, and it didn't take long for them to find the location of No. 9.

This is also a courtyard, basically no different from where Cass lives, except that Gabrielle obviously became very nervous after arriving here. She kept grabbing Jon's clothes, as if she was afraid that she was dreaming. As soon as Jon's clothes were loosened, the dream would wake up.

Hermione held Gabrielle's other hand and lowered her head to give her a cheering smile, which relieved the little girl's tension.

Then, looking more like a family of three, they walked into the courtyard of No. 9 Cromwell Street and knocked on the door.

Within a few seconds, the door was opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was a girl who looked like a magnified version of Gabrielle. She had long, smooth silver-white hair. When she opened the door, she also saw Gabrielle standing between Jon and Hermione.

The girl was obviously stunned, and Gabrielle did not make a sound at this moment, but her eyes began to turn red quickly, and tears were already spinning in the corners of her eyes!

"Gabriel!"

The girl screamed.

She looked extremely excited and hugged Gabrielle on the spot, with tears in her eyes uncontrollably flowing down.

"Ooooh, sister."

Gabrielle choked in her arms and couldn't say the second half of her sentence for a long time.

Everyone in the room also heard the girl's scream, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps. A woman with silver-white hair like the sisters and a middle-aged man who looked extraordinarily ordinary compared to the mother and daughter. The young man ran out.

They seemed to think that their daughter was in danger, but after seeing the two figures hugging each other, one big and one small, the couple also screamed.

"Oh my god!"

"Dear! How could it be you!"

Jon and Hermione did not disturb the moment when Gabrielle was reunited with her family, and neither of them made a sound outside the door.

But Jon could see the unhidden envy in Hermione's eyes when she saw the Delacour family hugging each other.

He couldn't help but wave in front of Hermione, and when the girl with a ponytail and a peaked cap turned to look at him, Jon showed a smile.

"How about I accompany you to meet your parents when you return to England?"

Jon didn't think anything when he said this, but Hermione was slightly startled, and then with a slightly red face, she reached out and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"It's not like you can say that."

"Hey, what do you think I am, a stone in a pit?"

Hermione blinked, obviously not understanding Jon's slang.

"That's not the case. You must be much stronger than a stone."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that sounds a little wrong, but I'll just take it as a compliment."

"I remember your promise. Can't you find other excuses to go back on it then?"

Jon touched his chin pretending to be questioning.

"What did I promise?"

Hermione didn't say anything, she just raised her legs and kicked him hard on the butt from behind!
