Chapter 327 325. Take Back Our Castle (5000 chapters)

"If she keeps this attitude, I certainly won't help her." Jon said casually, "But the crown is not only of special significance to her, it is an important relic for the entire Hogwarts. If I have the chance to get it, I will definitely take it back."

Nick was not surprised by Jon's answer. From the beginning, he knew that Jon was a typical soft-hearted person. With Ms. Grey's attitude of asking for help, no one would want to help her.

After communicating with Jon about Ms. Grey, Nick left Jon's dormitory.

There are less than three weeks left before the start of school in September and the start of the Triwizard Tournament. During this time, although Jon has completed the second step of making the Animagus potion, he has never been idle.

In addition to insisting on using the ring to cast a spell on his heart every day when the sun rises and sets, and making necessary preparations, he also continued to go deep into the forbidden book area in the second gem and constantly absorb magical knowledge.

After this trip to the North Pole, the magic power originally absorbed from the stone slab in the tower has been consumed, but as the magic power is exhausted, the knowledge about the forbidden book in the gem is still retained.

John previously relied on the content and Grindelwald's teaching to fully master the three unforgivable curses. Now he has set his mind on the other two spells that are not black magic, but are more terrifying than black magic most of the time.

Oblivion and Legilimency.

The functions of these two spells are to modify and read people's thoughts, which are much more insidious than spells that cause harm to people on the surface.

The Oblivion Spell has contributed greatly to Voldemort's increasingly stable rule in Britain. He has never been afraid of the emergence of determined rebels. No matter how determined a person's will is, it is not as good as absolute magic.

And in the British Ministry of Magic, the department that makes wizards of all blood feel disgusted is the Memory Cancellation Command of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes.

Any ideological heresy will eventually face the wizards of this department and have their concepts and memories tampered with.

Sometimes people's emotions are so simple. All thoughts are related to their memories. Once the memory is changed, they will naturally change in nature.

The current director of the Memory Cancellation Command Office is a very famous guy-Gilderoy Lockhart, a former best-selling author, adventurer, and now a demon who controls thoughts and an important lackey of Voldemort.

His forgetfulness spell is superb. Almost all stubborn elements will eventually be solved in his hands. He is also one of the wizards most valued by Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, Jon still remembers this liar. It must be said that Voldemort now really has a pair of eyes that are good at discovering talents. Lockhart probably has only one advantage in his body, the forgetfulness spell, which can be found by him and play such a big role in his career.

This also shows the power of the forgetfulness spell. Jon even thinks that if this spell does not have a solution, it must be more terrifying than the Imperius Curse among the three unforgivable curses.

Then there is Legilimency. Unlike the Oblivion spell, which modifies a person's memory, this spell can read a person's memory and extract the memory from the person's brain, turning it into a substantial silver line for everyone else to see.

In terms of destructive power, these two spells are definitely not comparable to magic such as the Explosion Spell or the Divine Strike, but their unique functionality is unmatched by any other magic.

Jon felt that he might be able to use these two magics when he went to Hogwarts Castle for the second time.

Fortunately, the Oblivion Spell is a spell with strong versatility. It is not difficult to learn it, but it is difficult to master it later.

The opposite is Legilimency. The difficulty of this spell lies in getting started. Once you get started, it is easy to master it.

So he first put all his energy on the Oblivion Spell, and after he could basically use it, he began to shift his focus to Legilimency.

As Jon studied further, Hermione, Ron, and Neville also returned to Hogwarts in the last week of August. When Neville returned to the dormitory, Jon learned that Lady Grey did not leave after hitting a wall with him, but stayed here, just like Nick.

Jon did not say anything about this. Although this lady was a little domineering, she was not a bad person, otherwise she would not be one of the resident ghosts of Hogwarts.

And less than three days before the start of their fourth grade in September, Rosier, the vice-president of Durmstrang, came to Hogwarts with a dozen students and their school's warrior, Diane Rosier.

Although there were four schools participating in the competition called the Triwizard Tournament this time, they were actually divided into two camps.

No matter who won the final victory between Jon and Diane, it represented Dumbledore's victory in the bet and Voldemort's defeat, so the two schools must of course achieve a certain degree of mutual exchange.

Diane was very respectful when she saw Jon, or rather, all Durmstrang students were very respectful when they saw Jon.

"Professor Green."

In the lunch hall, Lupin and Sirius, who stayed here to take care of the high school students on vacation, looked at the scene of a group of Durmstrang students bowing to Jon with a strange look on their faces.

"I thought that school had other intentions before, but they really wanted to pull Jon to be a professor?" Lupin said softly.

Sirius shrugged.

"To be honest, I have never heard of a 14-year-old professor."

"Don't say you have heard of it. Even if you open the history of magic now, you can't find one under 18 years old."

Sirius narrowed his already sharp eyes.

"However, even if they really want Jon to be a professor, it doesn't mean they don't have other intentions. I always feel that the headmaster who joined forces with Dumbledore didn't intend to help us."

Lupin said calmly.

"We don't need to worry about this. I think Professor Dumbledore should know better than all of us."

Faced with the respectful attitude of the Durmstrang students, Jon actually had a headache.

He agreed to be the professor of Transfiguration because he wanted to learn from Grindelwald. Moreover, so far, he has only been a professor in name only, and has not actually taught any class to these students.

This kind of unwarranted respect made Jon a little uncomfortable.

"Actually, you can just call me Jon, at least you don't have to call me professor when you are not in class."

However, before the students answered, Rosier frowned and spoke.

"This is the rule, Professor Grindelwald, the rule set by the principal for Durmstrang. Since you have accepted the position of professor, you must abide by its rules while enjoying its convenience."

Jon could only say helplessly.

"Well, since this is your rule."

The students of Durmstrang came here in advance, of course, they had their own purpose. Rosier had already brought Diane to meet Dumbledore, but obviously they did not get the results they wanted there.

"We asked Headmaster Dumbledore what kind of cooperation the two schools should have in the next game, but he said that as long as everyone does their best and helps each other in the game, that's all."

During lunch, Diane sat next to Jon. This female class leader of Durmstrang has been promoted to the seventh grade this year. She is three years older than Jon. Girls develop earlier than boys, making her one forehead higher than Jon.

However, the age difference in appearance did not change the relationship between the two. Not only was Jon a professor at Durmstrang, but anyone who saw Jon's performance on the night of the warrior selection would not see him as an ordinary fourth-grade student.

Jon was not surprised by Diane's words. In fact, even he didn't understand why Dumbledore promised Voldemort to use the Triwizard Tournament to decide the outcome of the war in France.

Maybe it was for fewer casualties, maybe it was because they trusted him enough, maybe they were afraid of Voldemort, but Jon felt that these were only secondary reasons. The main purpose Dumbledore did not tell others, including him.

"Just as Professor Dumbledore said." Jon said, "Regardless of the outcome, ensure your own safety during the game. If necessary, we should also focus on each other's safety, not the outcome."

Diane's expression was obviously a little stunned.

Even if she was kind, she was a student from the Rosier family who received Grindelwald's education.

Deeply influenced by the phrase "for the greatest benefit", although her concept was not to the extent of using any means to achieve the final victory, if she could sacrifice herself to achieve the final success, she felt that this should be the consensus between the principals of the two schools.

However, whether it was Dumbledore or Jon himself, they obviously did not understand such a consensus, and they still put personal safety above the collective interests, which made Diane a little unacceptable.

She even thought that maybe Jon and Dumbledore thought that her representing Durmstrang in the competition was just a bonus, and it didn't matter whether she was there or not, so they used such an excuse to deal with her.

Jon didn't think about what Diane was thinking, he was thinking about going to Hogwarts Castle.

The secrets in the castle are definitely more than that simple. When Jon sneaked in last time, he had a clear goal, so he couldn't explore more.

And this time, the Triwizard Tournament will at least let him stay there for a school year, which means he will have plenty of time to study things that he didn't have the energy to explore.

After this period of study, Jon has mastered the Oblivion Charm and can barely use Legilimency.

The Oblivion Charm is of course easy to master, but the extent to which he can use it is only the most rough way to clear memory, and can't do such a delicate modification of memory.

As for the Legilimency that he barely used, with his current situation, there is actually no way to use it in practice. He can only draw out a tiny silver thread of thought when people actively and completely let down their guard in their minds.

But no matter what, being able to use it from scratch is the biggest progress. If you want to master it after that, just keep practicing and you will get results.

Jon has never relaxed in his magic skills. At the same time, as he gets older, the magic power in his body also continues to grow.

The strength of the magic power in Jon's body now is at least three times that of when he was in first grade. Even without the help of the magic power stored in the second gem of the ring, he can still use the drifting spell for a long time.

This also significantly increased the intensity of the various spells he used.

And the day after Durmstrang's students came to Lyon to join the students at Hogwarts, Dumbledore also came to the school from the headquarters of Witchcraft.

Today is the last day of August. Tomorrow is not only the day when school starts, but also the official start of the Triwizard Tournament.

This means that early tomorrow morning, Dumbledore will lead students from the two schools to the Hogwarts Castle. The night before departure, he summoned all the students at Hogwarts in advance.

This year's recruitment of new students has ended during the summer vacation. Compared with previous years, the number of new students this year is far greater than before.

Because with the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance, not only British hemp students can be brought to school in advance, but now that the Wu Ping Line has essentially controlled all areas in France except Paris, We can take advantage of the situation and recruit French students with hemp seeds.

So there were a lot of new students in Jon's fourth grade class, even half as many as the previous toughest period on the wagon.

The welcome dinner for new students will also be held tonight, because tomorrow is also the day when Hogwarts officially starts classes.

In addition to the usual banquet, Dumbledore announced that he would take ten Hogwarts students to Hogwarts Castle. Students who wanted to go voluntarily signed up, but in the end only third-year students and above would be selected.

In this regard, the students were very enthusiastic. Except for some students who were rescued by Jon from the castle and had a psychological shadow on that school, almost every eligible student threw their name into the registration. In a stone basin.

In the end, McGonagall randomly selected ten from those slips of paper and determined the candidates who would go to Hogwarts Castle this time.

Among the students in the same grade as Jon, only two girls, Hermione and Lavender, were drawn. When their names were drawn, Lavender was full of cheers, while Hermione's face looked calm. , I don’t know what I’m thinking.

Of the Weasley twins, only George's name was drawn. Fred was still upset about this, and discussed with George whether they could change their names. No one would notice anyway, but George poked him in the arm with a fork. .

After all the preparations were settled, they spent the first night of this school year at Hogwarts, and it might also be the last.

Then, when it was still dark the next day, the Durmstrang students led by Rozier and the Hogwarts students led by Dumbledore got on the Hogwarts car that had been transformed from a ship. carriage.

This was brought to Durmstrang's students when they came. After Jon took the Hogwarts to reach the ice in the center of the North Pole, it returned to Durmstrang on its own. in the lake.

For the students at Hogwarts, this carriage is the place they are most familiar with.

When Jon and the others boarded the carriage, Hagrid was already sitting in the cab, just like him before.

Compared with the students, Hagrid was more excited. Most of his face, which was covered by his thick beard, could still be clearly flushed with excitement.

Jon did not follow the other students into the carriage, but sat directly on Hagrid's large chair, just like when he came here for the first time in the first grade.

"I still remember what I served you, black tea and cream cakes, but you said you were not hungry and just drank a cup of black tea."

Hagrid smiled and brought a cup of steaming black tea to Jon. Jon took it from his hand and watched him make the final preparations before setting sail.

Jon held the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

Directly in front, the Thestrals were no longer invisible in his eyes like they had been three years ago, but instead clearly showed their original faces.

Jon looked at those black horses with fleshy wings like bats, with a subtle smile on his face.

"It's nice to see that this isn't a sad thing for you guys."

His voice was so soft that even Hagrid, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hear what he was saying.

"What did you say?"

Hagrid waved the reins as he asked questions. The next moment, the Thestrals pulling the carriage did not run, but directly unfolded their broad black wings!

This carriage, which could only turn its wheels on British soil, flew into the sky with the tug of the Thestrals!

The breeze filtered by the windproof spell blew Jon's bangs on his forehead. He held the tea cup, took another sip of the black tea in it, and answered softly.

"I still remember what you said at that time. Do you know what is the sentence that impressed me the most? Hagrid."

"Um?"

The carriage passed through the low clouds, but the broad black wings of the Thestrals did not stop. They continued to rise until they completely jumped out of the highest cloud.

Jon squinted his eyes and looked at the horizon, the rising sun was brighter and dazzling than ever.

"At that time, I asked you, does our journey have a destination?

Hagrid said with a smile.

"Ah, I answered you with Dumbledore's words."

Jon stood on the bench, holding the high table in front of him that was connected to the entire carriage. The breeze cheered in his ears, the floating clouds jumped under his feet, and the sun illuminated the light of celebration.

"The end will not come to us by itself, but we are already close to it. Let's go and take back our castle now."

Ten thousand a day! There is another chapter of five thousand before 12 o'clock
