Chapter 100 98. Destined
"I worked in a bookstore during the summer vacation. It was a very old bookstore. The owner was very kind to me." Hermione said, "There were many banned books hidden in her store. I saw a banned book called "Hogwarts: A History of the School" and peeked at part of the content. I knew that the former Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was not what it is now."
"The owner also subscribed to the Daily Prophet. I accidentally saw on it that there was actually another Hogwarts School in the wizarding world that was exiled under the leadership of Dumbledore. The news said that this They are the only remaining resistance forces and rebels. "
"I know that Dumbledore was the only headmaster of Hogwarts seven years ago. The magic school he led was a real school. It was only after he failed that the castle was occupied by another person, and we were enslaved like this."
"You disguised yourself as Randy and sneaked into the castle. The only person who had the courage to do this in the entire magic world was someone from another Hogwarts school. No one else would dare to take such a risk to come in."
Hermione's voice was very small, but so firm. She looked at Jon, her eyes were clear and bright.
"Besides, I can see your attitude towards us. If it were pure-blood wizards, they would never get along with us like this. You must be from another Hogwarts, right?"
Jon looked at the girl's eyes and sighed in his heart.
All the speculations were reasonable and well-founded. The most important thing was that Hermione was really only 12 years old now, not like him, who looked like a 12-year-old child, but actually had an adult soul in his heart.
In this situation, Jon calmed down instead. Facing Hermione's question, he did not deny it, but nodded and admitted it.
"Yes, I am from another Hogwarts."
Hermione became excited when her guess was confirmed by Jon himself.
After all, she was only 12 years old. Even though her observation and logical reasoning were far superior to her peers, her mind was not as mature as Jon.
"Are you a professor at that Hogwarts?" She couldn't wait to continue asking.
Jon hesitated for only a second, and then nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, I am a professor at that school."
It's not that he deliberately lied, but it was originally unsafe for him that Hermione knew his identity. Now even if he confessed his origins, he had to hide his true identity.
Besides, if calculated according to the actual psychological age, it's nothing for Jon to brazenly claim to be a professor.
Hermione was so excited that she didn't notice that Jon hesitated for a second. Besides, it was only reasonable that Jon was a professor. If he was just a student, she should be suspicious.
"I have another question. Why did you think of going to the principal's office to find me?"
"I went to the storage room on the first floor first, because I knew from Hanton that you knew about the situation in that room. After I didn't find you there, I could only think that you could go to the principal's office."
This time, it was not just an inference. Hermione also had a gambling element. If she came ten or twenty minutes earlier, if she opened the door when Jon was about to kill the basilisk, she would probably be stared at by the basilisk's eyes.
Fortunately, Jon's action was fast enough, otherwise Hermione would probably die in this accident.
After understanding all the causes and consequences, Jon looked at Hermione with a serious face.
"Since you have discovered my identity, you should also know the consequences if my identity is exposed, so Miss Granger, will you keep it strictly confidential?"
Hermione's face was full of seriousness, and she solemnly swore.
"I swear I will never tell anyone any secrets about you!"
It was useless for her to just swear. In the magic world, you don't have to ask people to speak in order to get information from their brains. This is why Dumbledore asked Jon to sneak into Hogwarts Castle.
He had learned the brain block technique from Slughorn for a whole school year and had enough ability to keep secrets, but Hermione obviously didn't have such ability.
Jon was very calm and rational in his view of things at the moment. Even with Hermione's promise, he was not completely relieved. He was planning to find an opportunity to sneak out of the castle and discuss with Aberforth how to deal with the three paintings, and then decide whether to try to erase Hermione's memory of himself according to the length of time he might stay in the castle.
The little girl obviously couldn't see what Jon was thinking at this time, and she continued to ask with her eyes blinking.
"Then, Professor? How should I call you?"
"Just keep calling me Randy. This is my only identity now." Jon said without changing his face.
"Randy, what did Mr. Dumbledore send you to the castle for?" She opened her eyes wide, "Does he want you to steal something important from that man?"
Jon said vaguely.
"Well, almost."
"Then" Hermione suddenly became nervous again after only one sound. Her body wrapped in the quilt even began to tremble slightly. Her bright eyes were full of expectation and anxiety, "Then, did he ask you to provide us with any help?"
Her voice was very low, with an unconfident and trembling tone. Her eyes that were originally looking directly at Jon also evaded a little. It seemed that she was expecting Jon's answer, and it seemed that she was afraid of his answer.
Jon did not speak at the first time.
In fact, it was okay for him to tell the truth. This girl was very smart. As long as he explained Dumbledore's difficulties and the problem of signing the enrollment contract, she should be able to understand.
Even the timidity shown in her words now was a kind of understanding. She knew very well that even the professors in another Hogwarts had no reason to save them, not to mention that there was a high possibility of life-threatening in the process.
But it was because she knew that she was very smart and had thought of everything she could think of. Even the words of asking for help were so euphemistic and unconfident that Jon fell into silence.
He thought of the conversation he had with Aberforth that night not long ago. If his mission was successfully completed, what would happen to students like Hermione in the castle?
Continue to be left in this castle? Continue to be oppressed and domesticated?
Such things make Jon feel uncomfortable whenever he thinks about them.
These students in the castle are all very cute. Hamton envies those noble half-blood and pure-blood students who can fly into the sky on brooms. Ariel is willing to tell everyone about her good memories of Christmas in the past to entertain everyone. Hermione continues to organize rallies at great risks in order to let the freshmen who have just entered school not forget that they are still equal people.
So, are these cute, freedom-loving children destined to be left here as slaves?
Anyway, I can't sleep, and there is another chapter below. If you can't stand it, go to sleep and read it tomorrow morning
