Chapter 366 364. Little Devil (Happy New Year's Eve!)

Dumbledore didn't say how to make good use of Cedric's advantage in Hogwarts Castle last night.

But there is one thing Jon can be sure of.

That is, he would rather Cedric not play any role than let this boy who has turned from darkness to light have any accident.

This is of course not only out of Dumbledore's kindness, but more because Cedric's existence is a role model.

This means that even with Voldemort's high-pressure rule, there are still awakened wizards like Cedric in Britain today.

Even if the number is small, even if it is only in the single digits, it is a very inspiring phenomenon.

Because compared to him being a sleeper in the castle, let him keep his life safe, and then wait for the right deeds to openly rebel and expose Voldemort's crimes, that is the biggest blow to the British Ministry of Magic.

Of course, before preparing to do these things, Dumbledore will definitely find a way to protect Cedric's family members who are still working in the Ministry of Magic.

After connecting with Jon in the secret passage, Cedric told him about some rumors circulating in the castle now.

"The students hate you to the core. The professors are all claiming that you led the dragons to attack Hogwarts Castle, wanting to burn the castle and the people into ruins. Most of them believe this. They privately call you a little devil, saying that you are a murderer who kills without blinking an eye."

Jon couldn't help but laugh when he heard the name "little devil".

He didn't know whether this was spontaneously given by the students or Voldemort was behind it.

But Voldemort himself should know who the real devil is better than anyone else, and such a title of little devil was pressed on his enemy. Isn't it a bit too much of a loss?

In theory, this title should belong to Draco himself, who is now representing Hogwarts Castle in the competition.

"Did you find any professors missing in the school today?"

Jon was very interested in how much results were achieved after yesterday's attack.

Cedric had obviously observed this question, and he answered without thinking.

"Almost all the professors I met today were injured, and some of them were still lying in the school hospital, and their conditions were quite serious. Then there was Professor Pierre from the Half-Blood Academy. He should be dead, but it seems that he did not die at the hands of the dragons. The students were saying that he was killed by Barty Crouch because he was afraid of fighting."

"There was also an Auror. I heard from a seventh-year student that he was lying by the window last night and saw an Auror being bitten to death by a fire dragon with two long fangs. The blood flowed over most of the outer wall of the castle. When they got up in the morning, someone saw the broken intestines on the grass that had not been cleaned up."

Two people died, which was beyond Jon's psychological expectations.

It was not that he had no confidence in the dragons, but that Voldemort came back too quickly.

If he could come back three minutes later, the casualties of the professors in the astronomy tower would definitely not be so minor, at least more than half of them would die.

But it is obvious that Voldemort himself is also very clear that Hogwarts Castle cannot withstand such a serious loss of personnel. The impact of the death of these people in the castle on his power is secondary. The important thing is that it will give the outside world a sign that Voldemort and the forces he leads are about to collapse.

Such a thing is fatal. It will cause the Ministry of Magic, which still has a majority of positions on Voldemort at the previous Warrior Selection Dinner, to re-examine the situation and seriously shake Voldemort's goal of ruling the whole of Europe.

After learning about the situation of Hogwarts Castle from Cedric, Jon talked about the business.

"I need to borrow the arrowhead you used to avoid the magic around the Forbidden Forest. We are planning to rescue the centaurs from the Forbidden Forest. We want to use that arrow to study a way to safely enter the Forbidden Forest."

Hearing Jon's request, Cedric took off the stone arrowhead that had been hanging on his neck without any hesitation and handed it to Jon.

"This was originally given to me by the centaurs. If it can help them now, it would be great."

Jon nodded solemnly. He did not intend to delay Cedric's time too much to prevent him from disappearing for too long and causing suspicion from others.

But before he was about to leave, Cedric still looked at Jon with hope.

"Is there anything I can help you with in the castle?"

Jon turned his head seriously and looked at him and said.

"First of all, you must ensure your own safety, Cedric. This is your most important task now. In the recent period, you'd better not have any weird behavior, and don't enter the secret passage privately. The Dark Lord will definitely let his men strengthen the control of the castle. He has already felt a certain uneasiness."

Even if Cedric is not a reckless person, Jon still has to make some things clear to him.

He knows the tragic experience of this boy in the original book, so he hopes that such an upright Hufflepuff can have a good ending.

After finishing the conversation, Jon left Hogwarts Castle. He did not return to the carriage, but went directly into Hogsmeade along the secret passage, and then found Kingsley and others who were temporarily staying at the Hog's Head.

After Kingsley got the arrow, he found two wizards in the team who were quite knowledgeable about alchemy. After just a few simple glances, they determined that it was not difficult to replicate the magic on it.

It was not some superb magic skills that cracked the warning spell, but a disguise that was almost completely in line with nature. The centaurs were gifted in this aspect. It was difficult for wizards to complete this kind of natural magic, but with ready-made ones, there would be no big problem in imitating it.

It only took one night at most to imitate and manufacture enough, which meant that they could enter the Forbidden Forest to find the group of centaurs in Firenze tomorrow.

Jon did not leave the Hog's Head tonight, and asked Aberforth to help him arrange a guest room here.

To be honest, the environment of the Hog's Head Inn was really dirty and messy. Jon used a lot of cleaning spells on the oil spots and stains with a look of disgust, and then he felt that it was barely habitable.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Kingsley and others who stayed in the Hog's Head Inn left Hogsmeade early under the cover of dawn and sneaked into the Forbidden Forest.

I wish you all a happy new year, good luck in the Year of the Rabbit, and everything goes well!
