Chapter 108 106 How About Next Thursday?

Chapter 108 106. How about next Thursday?

He had already put the book and pen into the cloth bag, then left the principal's office, sneaked out of Hogwarts Castle, and came to the Hog's Head.

Aberforth had been waiting for him here for a long time. Before every action in the castle, Jon would inform him of the time in advance to avoid any unnecessary accidents and no time to prepare.

As soon as he entered the bar, Jon put the cloth bag containing the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance in front of him.

"The things are here, I got them!"

Aberforth opened the cloth bag and saw the Book of Admission with a black dragon leather cover and the feather pen made of Augurey feathers, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Let's not talk about the others for now, at least their original purpose was completed. With the book and pen, it was of great significance to Hogwarts on the carriage.

Before, when they competed with Hogwarts Castle for students, they basically observed the actions of the professors in the castle when the school was about to start, and then took action. The efficiency was extremely low, and there was no way to protect more Muggle students from enrolling every year.

Now that they have the books and pens, the situation will be completely reversed. The difficulty of recruiting students at Hogwarts Castle will increase greatly, because they not only have to take into account Muggle students, but also have to identify pure-blood and half-blood children. Even if both parents are wizards, a newborn child may be a Squib before he fully shows his magical talent.

Under Voldemort's rule, the social status of Squibs is not much better than that of Mudbloods, and it may even be worse. Therefore, some parents will conceal the fact that their children are Squibs and pretend that various children have shown signs of magical talent to deceive the Ministry of Magic's investigation.

It is even more difficult for them to distinguish among Muggle students, because there are more people, and there are tens of thousands of newborns every year. The faculty and staff in Hogwarts Castle do not have so much energy to check which children have shown special talents one by one, which will cause great trouble to their recruitment work.

But for the Hogwarts carriage, they originally only wanted to recruit Muggle students. If other pure-blood and half-blood families who were dissatisfied with Voldemort's rule wanted to send their children to Dumbledore, they all took the initiative to find him.

Now that they have the book and pen, it will undoubtedly be more convenient for them. They don't even need to wait until the student is eleven years old. When the name is first recorded in the admission book, the professors can contact this talented student.

In short, the existence of the admission book and the acceptance pen is very important to any Hogwarts, so this is the purpose of Dumbledore letting Jon sneak into the castle at the beginning.

And now this purpose has been perfectly achieved.

But after Aberforth showed a smile after seeing the book and pen, his face turned silent again.

Jon also sat at the table without speaking. The two of them looked at each other, and they knew very well that according to the original plan, since the purpose of lurking had been achieved, Jon should leave here and return to the Hogwarts carriage.

After that, everything in Hogwarts Castle had nothing to do with him. Randy Smith, the mudblood student, would disappear. No matter how angry Voldemort was after discovering that the principal's office was broken into and the book and pen were stolen, Jon Green would not be involved at all.

But now, neither Jon nor Aberforth mentioned leaving. After a long silence in the tavern, Jon asked first.

"You said before that Professor Dumbledore would be able to contact me tonight?"

Aberforth took out his pocket watch and looked at the time on it.

"In half an hour, the Order of the Phoenix will be able to establish an independent floo network. This floo network can last for about 48 hours. During this period, you can contact Albus at any time."

Jon nodded quietly, staring at the dark night outside the window without blinking, as if he was thinking about how to start when he met Dumbledore later.

Aberforth did not disturb him, but went to the bar to prepare a cup of hot cocoa for him.

Time passed bit by bit, and at the scheduled time, Aberforth walked to the fireplace where the fire was burning, took out a box of white powder from the fireplace, and then pinched out a small handful and sprinkled it into the fire.

The bright orange fire turned dark green in the next second, and then the flames rose, and the green fire soon formed the upper body of a person.

Dumbledore smiled at Aberforth through the Floo Network, and his voice came from the fireplace.

"You seem to be living well recently, and your mental state is much better than mine."

Aberforth had a stinky face, and the first time he saw Dumbledore, he pulled his face down, like an old goat with a long face.

"I am younger than you! Of course I am much more energetic than you! Old man, your students want to see you!"

He cursed, and when he was about to turn around and leave this space to Jon and Dumbledore, he suddenly turned back and stared at Dumbledore silently and said something.

"This kid did a good job, you can seriously consider his request."

Dumbledore just smiled and nodded to him.

Aberforth retreated behind the bar, leaving the space here for Jon and Dumbledore, and after he left, Jon also stood up from his chair.

"I got the stuff, Professor."

Dumbledore was obviously surprised. The final result did not surprise him at all. Since he dared to let Jon do this, he knew that he had the ability to complete this task. However, he did not expect Jon to act so quickly. He had already completed the set goal in just over half a school year.

"Well done, Jon. It turns out that you are much better than I thought."

He said with emotion, but in the face of his praise and compliments, Jon's face did not show any happy expression. His eyes were still so solemn, and he said with a heavy expression.

"But I have something to discuss with you now, Professor."

As if he saw Jon's seriousness, Dumbledore also restrained the smile on his face. He looked at Jon seriously and nodded.

"Tell me what you think."

Jon opened his mouth. He had already imagined many reasons in his mind on how to convince Dumbledore, but now, when he really had to speak, he just asked.

"Can we rescue all the Muggle students in the castle?"

The scene fell silent.

Behind the bar, Aberforth subconsciously stopped wiping the cup, Jon held his breath, and Dumbledore in the flames showed a thoughtful and hesitant expression.

When Jon saw this, his heart gradually sank, until a few seconds later, Dumbledore suddenly spoke.

"If we set the rescue time for next Thursday, will you be able to prepare in time?"

"Bang!"

Aberforth accidentally dropped the cup on the ground, and Jon was completely stunned.
