Chapter 121 119 The Real Hogwarts

Chapter 121 119. The Real Hogwarts

Fawkes took Jon and Hermione to a small house in front of a forest.

This small house was just like the safe house that Jon first arrived at when Lily took him out of the orphanage. It was created by the Order of the Phoenix and scattered all over the UK to temporarily hide traces of Apparition.

Of course, the source of the Phoenix's Apparition could not be traced, but McGonagall, Kingsley and two wizards from the Order of the Phoenix took the students who escaped from the secret passage of the castle and temporarily hid in this place.

The enrollment contracts on these children have not been completely resolved. Before coming here, McGonagall and others used a spell to temporarily block the tracking effect. If you want to completely eliminate it, you have to wait for Dumbledore to do it himself.

After Jon brought Hermione here, the children were very happy.

Seeing familiar people, they finally vented their nervous and worried emotions. Some hugged Hermione and some hugged Jon and cried bitterly. Among them, Hanton, who was originally inspiring in the secret passage, cried the loudest while hugging Jon's arm.

But the crisis has not been completely resolved. McGonagall also covered the enrollment contract on Hermione in the same way, and then used Apparition again to take them to a new safe house.

When they arrived here, the rescued children were pale and couldn't help retching. Even when Jon experienced Apparition for the first time, he couldn't adapt to this feeling. They experienced it twice in a row, and now they feel dizzy.

At the same time, although the safe return of Jon and Hermione made them not as depressed as at the beginning, the uneasiness in their hearts did not diminish at all.

When they just escaped, the professors from another Hogwarts who came to pick them up were very gentle, without any contempt and indifference of the teachers in the castle, but the long-term slavery has made them instinctively wary of strangers.

After arriving at this safe house, McGonagall and Kingsley began to get busy, lighting the fire, boiling chocolate, and then giving each of the children sitting here a cup to relieve the discomfort caused by Apparition.

McGonagall and his actions made the children a little restless. The first-year children were okay, as they had only been in the castle for less than a year, while most of the second-year students were a little panicked.

It was like a child who was abused all day long. If suddenly one day an adult reached out and handed him a piece of candy, his first reaction would definitely not be to take it openly, but to shrink his neck, hide in the corner, and timidly look at the person who reached out his hand.

Fortunately, there was Jon as a bridge.

He quickly helped Magg distribute the hot chocolate to each child, and in front of them, he took a big sip himself, then said to them with a grin.

"I suggest you don't drink so fast."

The children couldn't help laughing at his appearance, and their emotions were much more relaxed. Some children even looked at Magg cautiously and asked.

"Professor, will we still be mudbloods in the future?"

Professor Magg looked at the children, and she had just quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she showed a gentle smile she had never had before.

"Forget this title, children, there is no difference between you and everyone else."

Her answer made the child's eyes shine, and his voice unconsciously became a little louder, but there was still a subconscious pleading in his tone.

"Then can we learn real magic in the future?"

McGreg reached out and touched his head.

"I am your professor of Transfiguration and Herbology. You must listen carefully to my class in the future."

"I will!"

Their conversation completely let the children put down their subconscious guard. They hugged the warm chocolate and finally showed a smile on their faces that they had not shown for a long time.

Hermione was also smiling, but when she smiled, her eyes were always fixed on Jon.

Jon was of course not blind, so he naturally felt her gaze, so he turned his head and looked at her in confusion and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Why don't you change back to your original appearance, professor?" The girl emphasized the word professor, obviously as if she had seen something from the interaction between Jon and Magg just now.

Jon's face did not change, he shrugged and said.

"The effect of the Polyjuice Potion will not be lifted until 12 hours later. If you want to see the real me, you probably have to wait until about six o'clock in the afternoon."

Hermione did not dwell on it. No matter what Jon's identity was, she didn't care, and it would not affect her gratitude to him at all.

"Thank you very much." She gave Jon a hug.

Jon patted the girl's thin shoulders and said with a smile.

"You should thank yourself."

They stayed here until five o'clock in the afternoon. When the sky began to get dark, McGonagall and the others took the children who had rested enough to continue their journey.

They continued to use Apparition, and this time they came to a vast tulip garden.

The Hogwarts carriage was parked on the lawn in the middle of the garden, with candles flying around and fairies waving their wings looming in the flowers.

When McGonagall and her group just appeared here, the students who were busy setting up the venue and preparing for the evening's grand welcome ceremony shouted hurriedly.

"Here they are! They are here!"

The children landed again, and before they could react to what kind of dreamlike place they had arrived, a burst of fireworks exploded beside them.

Colorful ribbons and sequins fell from their heads. Although they had been notified in advance, the students in the carriage had no idea of ​​the exact time. They quickly stood in the formation they had rehearsed, and they shouted happily in harmony.

"Welcome to the real Hogwarts!"

All the children were stunned. They looked at this beautiful scene that they dared not even dream of, and tears welled up in everyone's eyes.

The students in the carriage enthusiastically pulled them to the two sides of the long table in the middle of the lawn, and Dumbledore sat at the front of the long table. His smile was as warm as a fireplace in winter. He looked at Jon and said softly.

"You did better than anyone could have imagined, Jon. Thank you for taking these children out of that cage."

I forgot to pick a chapter title T^T I'll add it after I ask the editor for permission. I'll update twice tonight. I'm going to sort out the outline and check if there are any loopholes in the following plot.

That's it
