Chapter 123 121. Traitor

Lupine was wearing a decent black robe, and his hair and beard were obviously specially taken care of. At least he looked more regular than Jon.

Azkaban's escape plan and Jon's plan to escape with the children in the castle were carried out simultaneously. Compared with the castle, the escape from that prison was obviously more dangerous.

Similarly, Dumbledore also asked Moody to bring more members of the Order of the Phoenix to meet them. After breaking through the encirclement of the Dementors, it took them another afternoon to get rid of the Death Eaters who came for reinforcements. Hunt.

The prisoners who escaped were all exhausted. The long-term torture in prison and the fierce battle today made them fall asleep as soon as they returned to a safe place. Therefore, there was no reward for these wizards who had regained their freedom tonight. Arrange a dinner party.

The celebration and welcome banquet in the Order of the Phoenix will not begin until Sirius and others have completely rested.

But Lupine's condition is pretty good. He has been wandering and lurking on the island and has not suffered any abuse from dementors. Except for today's battle, which consumed a lot of energy, he basically recovered after half an afternoon's rest. .

Originally, Dumbledore planned to let him take a week's rest before returning to Hogwarts to take up his post, but Lupine took the initiative to say that his condition was fine and he could come to the carriage today.

The students were obviously unfamiliar with him, but Neville quietly introduced him to Jon and the others.

"I know him. When the Order of the Phoenix gathered a long time ago, my father took me to see him at the banquet. He had a very good personality and even gave me a box of candy."

Lupine took a seat at the long table, looking at the students who welcomed his arrival and applauded him even though they were strangers to him, and nodded with a gentle smile.

Jon looked at Lupine's arrival with a strange expression on his face. In his memory, this wandering wizard with a tragic ending also entered Hogwarts as a professor in the original book, but it was only in the third grade. , and now it is near the end of the second grade, and the time is quite different.

This made Jon couldn't help but feel that things are different and people are different.

The dinner ended after Dumbledore finished explaining everything. The students who were rescued from the castle were all arranged into the dormitories on the carriage. They all experienced a lot of fright and worry today, but Before they could rest immediately, Dumbledore took them alone into an empty classroom to process their enrollment contracts.

It was not until nearly 12 o'clock that the children lay down on the soft and comfortable four-poster beds that they had never found in another school, and soon fell asleep.

The carriage left the tulip field and continued the journey that didn't know when it would end.

After everything was settled properly, in Dumbledore's principal's room, all the professors in the school, including Lupine, who just joined today, gathered here.

There is a quill and a book on Dumbledore's desk.

Looking at these two familiar things, Mag's face showed a look of nostalgia.

"Bring them back, and we can take the Muggle students away before the people in that castle."

Flitwick also nodded and said.

"Jon rescued all the first and second grade students in the castle. Now that the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission have been brought back, the castle will lose its source of Muggle students, which will definitely have a negative impact on them. A big impact.”

Lily said coldly: "The Dark Lord relies on a steady stream of oppression of Muggle wizards to stabilize the imbalanced mentality of mixed-blood wizards having privileges over pure-blood wizards. Now there is a lack of objects of oppression from the source, and there will definitely be more in the future. Bringing big trouble to his rule."

"Don't be confused by the situation in front of you." Dumbledore shook his head calmly and said, "He will not just watch our actions and remain indifferent. He holds a grudge more than anyone else. The reason why we have been able to accomplish so much successfully The main reason is that he has been focusing on other aspects in the past few years. Except for the Horace incident last year, he basically adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards us. "

Lupine frowned solemnly.

"I have been in Azkaban for these years and I don't know much about what is happening in the magical world. If the Dark Lord doesn't focus on us, what else can make him so focused?"

The principal's room fell into silence for a while. Obviously, Mag and the others couldn't answer this question.

Dumbledore tapped his fingers lightly on the table of his desk, and spoke again after a long time.

"I learned something from a special source that I only acquired recently. Several of his most trusted subordinates, including Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange and Rabastan The three men of Lestrange also betrayed our Peter Pettigrew and have not appeared in public for nearly two years. I think if the Dark Lord really has something else. If it’s more important, it might be related to this.”

The moment he said the name "Peter Pettigrew", Lily clenched her hand instantly.

Her body became obviously tense, and her breathing could not help but become rapid. Lupine also stared at the corner of the table with a gloomy expression.

This name, which seems to have disappeared from the magical world, has never been forgotten by them.

Seeing their reactions, Flitwick couldn't help but sigh, and patted Lily's arm to comfort her. Dumbledore knew very well why they became like this when they heard the name, and he took off his glasses with a slightly tired look.

"Don't relax your attention recently. We have indeed achieved some success, but compared with what we originally lost, these successes are not enough to transform into our capital for victory. Let's stop here for today. I will investigate what he is thinking about."

After Jon returned to the carriage, he found that life here had not changed much from before he left.

The rescued students were still divided according to their original grades, but Hermione Hunton and other second-year students were not in class with Jon for the time being, but were unified for targeted remedial classes after getting their wands.

Their study time was more compact, after all, compared with the students in the carriage, they had missed a lot of courses they should have.

But no one complained about this. After officially integrating into the life here, Hermione and the others were very enthusiastic about learning. Even though they had less rest time than others, they still spent most of their extracurricular time on learning magic.

Jon was also taking the courses he missed after entering the second grade, but these had no effect on him.

On the fifth day after he returned to the carriage, Dumbledore suddenly called him to the office.

"You completed your task very well. As a reward, do you want to go out with me to relax for a few days?"
