The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Hodder, the house elf of Greengrass Manor, took Jon to a basement of the manor.

There was a pile of discarded furniture in this basement. It took Jon and Hodder a little time to clean them up in a corner... Then, they transformed it into a simple "potion laboratory" ".

In the suitcase, Jon carried a lot of commonly used medicinal materials, as well as potion tools such as crucibles, knives, and crystal bottles; for the few types of medicinal materials that were in short supply, Hodder, the house elf, also helped in the warehouse of Greengrass Manor. He found it.

I have to say that in these respects, the house elves did treat him as a member of the Greengrass family...

For the next few hours, Jon stayed in this temporary "potion laboratory", configuring several not complicated but very practical potions.

Hodder the house-elf acts as his assistant.

For example, "Living Hell Potion", a powerful sleeping pill called "Life and Death Water", can achieve certain effects even against creatures with extremely high magic resistance such as fire dragons or giants. Jon is still configured according to the improvement steps of the original "Half-Blood Prince" in memory, the quality is better and the effect will be better!

There is also the "Tianxing Potion", which can lighten the wizard's body in a short period of time after taking it, allowing them to fly in the sky for a period of time... Whether it is home travel or adventure, it is a very practical medicine.

And "Strong Confusion Potion", it doesn't even need to be taken, it only needs to let the opponent inhale a little, and it can make them irritable, reckless and irritable. Works well against some less intelligent humanoids.

Obviously, these potions are all for targeting giants... Now that they are free, there will be no problem in preparing them in advance.

During the potion preparation process, Astoria also sneaked over to watch Jon for a while (the house-elf Emily accompanied her throughout, or watched her).

Watching Jon dragging his tired body, trying to add a variety of medicinal materials to the cauldron; the house elf Hodder acted as his assistant, providing all kinds of help (as a well-educated house elf housekeeper, Hodder has a good grasp of the basics of potions).

Astoria just watched silently from the side without disturbing them... After staying for half an hour, under the urging of the house elf Emily, she reluctantly left and went back to her room.

A few hours later, when Jon carefully put the last "smoke potion" into the crystal bottle... Once this potion comes into contact with the flames, it will emit violent and foul-smelling smoke, which can cover the sight , It can also expel some magical creatures; it is a good escape medicine.

Outside the manor, there was a sudden sound!

Jon raised his head suspiciously and glanced at Hodder.

Hodder explained: "It's Madam...she's back!"

Then there was a loud, echoing pop, and he Apparated away.

...

Mrs. Diana Greengrass, who has been reinstated as an official, is still serving as the Director of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures in the Ministry of Magic... It is reported that Minister Burns appreciates her very much and is happy to promote her to a more important position .

Tonight, she was supposed to be back from get off work hours ago, to be with her poor little daughter—

However, due to a major accident a few hours ago, the Misinformation Office of the Department of Magical Creatures Regulation and Control held an emergency meeting, and she had to stay at the Ministry of Magic for this meeting...

The Office of Misinformation is only called in when the conflict between the wizarding and Muggle worlds is at its worst.

Generally speaking, when some very high-profile accident occurs due to magic, and if it cannot be concealed from Muggles without the help of the Ministry of Magic, the Misinformation Office will contact the Muggle Prime Minister to discuss how to deal with the matter. Some superficially plausible non-magical explanations.

So this kind of urgent meeting is quite exhausting.

When Mrs. Greengrass with a tired face returned to the living room of the manor, she casually glanced at a big clock on the wall, and her face changed slightly.

"Hod...Hod!" She called out in a slightly harsh tone.

There was a loud, echoing pop, and Hord the house-elf apparated in front of her.

"Is there a guest in the manor?" Mrs. Greengrass asked calmly, "Didn't I say that outsiders are not allowed in during this time?"

"The visitor is not an outsider..." Hodder, the house elf, quickly explained, "It's Mr. Hart..."

"Hart, Jon Hart?" Mrs. Greengrass's face brightened immediately, and she hurriedly shouted, "He's back? Where is he... in Astoria's room?"

"In a basement downstairs, he was just preparing several potions." Hodder explained with a smile.

"Quick, which room is it in? Take me to him!" Mrs. Greengrass said without hesitation.

"In which basement with discarded furniture, ma'am, come with me!"

...

Jon was still carefully putting the prepared bottles of medicine into the suitcase; at the same time, clearing away some medicinal materials left on the table; and cleaning the crucible and knives.

The basement door slammed open, and Jon turned to see Lady Diana Greengrass striding in, with Hord the house-elf following her.

"Ma'am." Jon quickly greeted respectfully.

At the same time, he noticed that Mrs. Greengrass's usually calm face seemed a little more tired and irritable today.

"Jon...how is it!" Mrs. Greengrass asked urgently: "About the Horcrux..."

It was a matter of her daughter's life and death, and she was very concerned about it, and she was also very emotional; some time ago, she couldn't find any news about the boy in front of her, which made her almost desperate about it.

"The progress is going well." Jon replied calmly as he closed his suitcase: "I've already got the crucial material needed for the Horcrux... Now, it's in A Storia's room, I let her keep it!"

"A branch of the tree of souls...it's not something easy to get." Mrs. Greengrass said softly, "Jon, you've worked hard these days!"

"It's nothing..." Jon shook his head: "Then Ma'am, where are you?"

"My side is basically fine!" Mrs. Greenglass nodded with a smile: "I have successfully 'convinced' the several wardens of Azkaban and become their friends... "

While talking, Mrs. Greengrass gestured for a gold coin, and then added: "Of course, there is also the acquiescence of Professor Albus Dumbledore..."

"...Now if you want, I can take a prisoner of Azkaban out of that cell for a short time at any time, kill him and put him back, and let the dementor suck his soul away... including The most notorious Death Eaters: such as Bellatrix Lestrange, Antonin Dolohov, and August Rookwood. I can bring them all out!"

"Madam, thank you for your help..."

"Why do you thank me for saving my daughter!" Mrs. Diana Greengrass smiled slightly, and then lowered her voice: "Now, Jon... can we start?"

...

Yes, it looks like everything is ready now.

The materials for making Horcruxes have been collected, and the soul strength of Bellatrix Lestrange, a Death Eater with countless blood debts, should be quite enough.

If it was a few days ago, according to the pre-plan, Jon must have started making Horcruxes for Astoria.

However, since Mrs. Maxime and Hagrid's reminder, and learned that the giant controls the precise method of separating souls...Jon had to suspend his previous plan.

After all, Grindelwald warned him that it is extremely difficult to simply rely on the horcrux to divide the soul of the blood curse; according to this method, the probability of saving Astoria is very low.

And if one can control the way the giants accurately separate the souls, the success rate will definitely be greatly improved.

There are at most five months before the onset of Astoria's illness... So, this is totally worth trying.

"What's the matter, is there any accident?" Mrs. Diana Greengrass asked softly.

"No, it's actually good news." Jon smiled reluctantly, and then started from Madam Maxim's hint, as well as Hagrid's story, and he told Madam Greengrass all about it.

"That is to say..." muttered Mrs. Greengrass.

"If we can know the whereabouts of the giants and find them... then the chances of saving Astoria may be a little bit higher." Jon said with a serious face.

The expression on Mrs. Diana Greengrass's face changed slightly, and she seemed hesitant to speak.

"How...you know information about giants?" Jon asked in astonishment.

Mrs. Greengrass nodded lightly, and she murmured: "That's right...and, just a few hours ago!"

...

"How many hours ago?" Jon was a little confused: "I don't quite understand..."

"A few hours ago, the Misinformation Office held an emergency meeting." Mrs. Greengrass said with a serious face: "Only when the conflict between the wizarding world and the Muggle world reaches its worst state, can it be impossible without the help of the magic department." The Misinformation Office will only be dispatched when it is concealed from Muggles... The last time the Misinformation Office was mobilized was fifteen years ago, when the Mysterious Man wreaked havoc last time."

"About... giants...is it..." Jon stammered and asked.

"Yes, just a few hours ago, there was a terrible disaster in Lancashire and Cheshire." Mrs. Greengrass nodded: "Big trees were uprooted, countless roofs were torn down, and road signs were changed." Turned into a bend, a large number of casualties... The final result of our discussion is to let the Muggle Prime Minister tell the Muggles that this is a super hurricane sweeping across the west of England..."

"...But actually..." Mrs. Greengrass pursed her lips: "It was the Death Eaters who did it... and there are many evidences. They drove the giants and let the giants cause this terrible disaster!"

"So..." Jon only felt that his mind was in chaos: "The giants appeared in the west of England, just a few hours ago?"

"I'm sure." Mrs. Greengrass nodded.

"May I be alone, ma'am..." Jon's voice became a little trembling.

Mrs. Greengrass nodded silently. She gave Hord the house-elf a wink, and they both exited the basement room.

...

Jon Hart, who was left alone in the basement room, was not in the slightest joy or excitement, but was full of surprise... even fear!

Yes, after a few hours of desperately needing to know the giant's whereabouts—

The giants belonging to Voldemort suddenly launched a senseless act of sabotage... just a few hundred miles from where he is now.

Then think of the letter Daphne wrote to him earlier, and the news that Professor Horace Slughorn told him.

Jon suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and at the same time felt a kind of fear from the heart.

I took a few deep breaths and forced myself to calm down...

Jon bent down, opened the suitcase, and took out an ancient and exquisite portrait from it.

"Phineas... Phineas..." he called softly:

"Principal Phineas Black, I need your help!"
