In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Jon retreated into the principal's room.

His brain is working very fast now and he is very calm.

The basilisk was obviously the first line of defense against the principal's office. If he expected correctly, the four relics on the table were the second line, and the three portraits in the room in the tower were the last line.

The portraits in the magical world are all alive, and the portrait of the same character can instantly travel back and forth between his or her own portrait at any location without being restricted or restricted by any magic.

There is a high probability that those three portraits are related to Voldemort. This last protection seems to be just three paintings, but in fact it represents Voldemort himself!

If he had just pushed open the door and walked in without using the telescopic eye that Aberforth had prepared for him, the next moment, the most powerful person in the magic world would probably have appeared in front of him. Jon wasn't even given a chance to pick up his book and pen and run straight away.

Facing Voldemort, even with Dumbledore present, the situation can be said to be unsolvable.

But Jon's current situation is far from unsolvable. After all, the three paintings have not yet received any alert, which means that Voldemort does not know that his principal's office has been broken into.

This means that Jon still has time to plan.

If Voldemort comes in person, it will of course be a dead end. So what if there is a way to prevent those three paintings from contacting Voldemort?

Jon was thinking in his mind, and without stopping, he waved his wand to clean up the messy entrance hall, as well as the smelly blood of the basilisk that died in the principal's office.

There is a basilisk guarding here, which means that Voldemort prohibits anyone in this castle from entering his principal's office. Although the basilisk has its own consciousness and can choose who to kill or not to kill, the magic on its eyes is as long as It will be triggered by looking at it. Unless it is a Parseltongue, otherwise it will use its eyes to see any movement at the door. No matter who comes in, even Snape, who is the deputy principal, will be the same when interacting with it. The moment their eyes meet, they will die instantly.

He only needs to clean up the strong smell of blood. Unless Voldemort comes to attend the opening dinner when school starts next year, no one will know that the basilisk guarding here has been killed, and it was at the hands of a mudblood student. .

Just after Jon cleaned up the foyer and removed all the blood shed by the basilisk, the sound of a door opening suddenly sounded behind him!

Jon's body froze instantly!

The moment he heard the sound, his hand slipped into his sleeve and held a bright red feather. Then he suddenly turned around to look at the person who opened the door to the principal's office.

Hermione stood blankly outside the door, looking at the huge dead snake next to Jon. Jon was also looking at the panting girl who was obviously running wildly all the way.

It’s difficult.

He frowned and slowly relaxed his clenched palms. Just when he was about to speak, Hermione reacted first and spoke in an extremely urgent tone.

"Dolokhov came back early, he is looking for you now!"

Jon reacted very quickly. He knew very clearly that if what Hermione said was true and he didn't handle the situation at hand, he would have to face something even more difficult to deal with.

He quickly patted the dirty robes on his body, without using the cleaning spell directly, because if it was too clean, it would make him more suspicious.

While patting his robe, he quickly walked out of the principal's office, then turned around and closed the door tightly.

"How long did it take you to come up to me?"

He put away his wand, took out his invisibility cloak, and asked quickly.

Hermione answered quickly.

"In three minutes, I went to the storage room on the first floor first. I didn't find you there before I came here. Those stairs helped me. It saved me a lot of walking."

"Did anyone see you coming up from the ground?"

"No, I walked up the stairs around the corner in front of the dormitory door. They all thought I was looking for you in your dormitory. I made an excuse for you, saying that you had a bad stomach from eating spoiled biscuits. "

The two of them now have a tacit understanding and have not asked each other why they are here. As long as the immediate crisis is resolved, there will be plenty of time to ask such questions in the future.

Jon directly covered them with the invisibility cloak. The cloak was big enough. They were both only 12 years old. They were small in size, and it was more than enough to cover three people.

They just ran to the stairs together. Those stairs looked very familiar to her just as Hermione said. They automatically led them down, from the eighth floor to the first floor at a very fast speed.

During this period, Jon took out the Marauder's Map. He just couldn't keep his eyes on the map in the principal's room, but before he killed the basilisk, the map had been opened so that he could check it at any time.

At this time, on the map, Dolohov's name was clearly located in the basement.

Hermione wasn't lying. At this time, the administrator hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet and was still waiting there.

Confirming that there was still room to hide, Jon quickly put away the Marauder's Map, then grabbed Hermione's arm and ran from the first floor towards the basement stairs.

As he approached the basement, he put away the invisibility cloak, and then he and Hermione pushed open the basement door with rapid breathing without breathing steadily.

Dolokhov stared at the two of them as they walked in. When his eyes fell on Jon's pale face because he was knocked against the wall by the basilisk, a sneer appeared on his face.

"I feel bad after eating expired food. Did you squat in the bathroom for a long time?"

Jon lowered his head "cowardly" and whispered.

"Hug, I'm sorry, sir, I shouldn't have hidden the cookies for so long before eating them."

"It's not your fault Smith, Mudbloods should not waste food like this. But I hate waiting for people, especially waiting for a Mudblood."

He stared at Jon with a "fearful" face, as if he would whip out the whip at the next moment, but then he suddenly laughed again.

"But you have good luck today, I am in a good mood, and your usual performance is also very good, so I don't have to slap you, but for the rest of the holiday, you will clean the entire bathroom in the castle. .”

After hearing what he said, Jon breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this level, he was fooled.

"Okay, okay, sir."

After that, he and Hermione returned to the group of Mudblood students. Dolohov didn't know what happy thing he encountered today. He was really happy and even called a house elf to let everyone in the kitchen. Every Mudblood student prepares a small cream cake as a dessert on Christmas night.
