Chapter 387 385 Snape: The Drug Has Started to Take Effect
Chapter 387 385. Snape: The drug has taken effect
If Jon heard what Snape was saying now, he would definitely slap him in the face.
Even if he was an opponent, he couldn't think of him as so despicable, right?
While Jon and Lee were insulting each other, Hermione had quietly come to the interior of the principal's office.
She didn't bother to avoid the Aurors from the first floor and then climb up to the seventh floor, but directly let Fox use Apparition to take her directly into the room.
When looking for the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets before, Fox had come in once as a bird, and this was Dumbledore's office before, so he was familiar with it.
Fox deliberately chose a corner close to the tower and landed with Hermione, but the golden-red light still attracted the attention of the cold-blooded creature in the office.
It was a venomous snake that was not as exaggerated as the basilisk, but its body was still huge, and its scales were emerald green.
Nagini
Voldemort's personal pet, a completely beast-like blood-cursed orc.
But Hermione obviously didn't know the background and identity of this venomous snake. At present, she knew nothing about the snake's condition, but she didn't need to worry about dealing with this snake.
The moment Nagini and Fawkes looked at each other, a snake and a bird rushed out towards each other!
They had fought once before, not long ago, so they were not unfamiliar.
And Hermione didn't hesitate after landing. She had changed her evening dress into a loose robe for daily wear. She took out a silver instrument that looked like a lighter from the pocket of the robe.
The next moment Fawkes rushed towards Nagini, she pressed the switch of the silver lighter!
"Boom!"
A thunderstorm-like sound rang out, and the noise was so loud that the entire floor of the room was shaking. At the same time, the magic portraits that were not on the walls when Jon entered the principal's office, but were now hung all over the walls, instantly burst into countless sparks, and then the frames shattered, accompanied by a faint scream, and all the portraits were burned.
This lighter originally only had the function of turning off the light. The destruction of the portraits was a function that Dumbledore specially modified and added according to Hermione's needs this time. It was attached with an ancient violent spell, and it was the simplest and most effective way to deal with these portraits with independent thinking consciousness. The only problem was that the noise was too loud. Under normal circumstances, it could not be used at all, so Jon and Lee needed to attract Crouch and Snape's attention in the hall.
At the same time, Hermione had to keep an eye on the movements of the patrolling Aurors in the castle, and make sure that no one approached the seventh floor before choosing to take action.
Such opportunities are not easy to find, but fortunately, all actions have been smooth so far. Fawkes is not afraid of even the basilisk, so dealing with the poisonous snake Nagini is even easier.
Putting away the silver lighter, Hermione finally focused on the four relics on the table in the middle of the office.
"Okay, it's almost time. We have to leave now and go to the small garden outside the castle."
Lee glanced at the clock in front of the hall and whispered to Jon.
Jon also nodded.
"Go out quickly and find a place where no one is and drink the voice-changing potion."
"Hey, how can you do this? With Hermione's appearance, isn't my voice exciting?"
"If you say such disgusting things to me again, I will blow up your mouth and George's mouth tomorrow!"
"I was wrong! You should just blow up George. Compared to me, he is more hateful!"
The two of them kept moving their mouths and stood up from their positions at the same time. Li naturally took Jon's arm. Jon controlled himself not to reveal any flaws, but he couldn't help but get goose bumps on his arm.
"Why do I feel you are shaking?" Lee whispered.
"Would you tremble if a man held your arm?"
"Relax a little, can't you imagine me as Hermione herself?"
"If you can keep your mouth shut, then maybe I can do it."
A lot of people actually noticed their getting up. Jon's every move attracted much attention, and even the Aurors who were on guard around him focused most of their attention on him.
Because Jon was so good at making trouble, the more he relaxed his vigilance in such a lively atmosphere, the more Lucius asked his men to keep a close eye on Jon.
If Jon had agreed to his request for cooperation before, maybe Lucius would turn a blind eye and let Jon do whatever he wanted.
But after being rejected like that, it seemed like a bit of love turning into hate. Lucius felt that he had to be loyal to his duties so that he could be worthy of Voldemort.
Therefore, he was actually staring at Jon and Hermione tonight. According to his understanding of Dumbledore over the years, if he didn't let his students do something on Christmas Day, Dumbledore would not be called Dumbledore.
However, just as Lee was walking out with Jon, a pair of male and female students suddenly stopped them.
This made everyone staring at Jon quiet down, and because of this, the entire auditorium was silent for a moment, with only the Weird Sisters Band in the center of the stage still playing dance music.
Jon squinted his eyes at Emile and his dancing partner standing in front of him, thinking whether this was also a plan of Crouch and Snape.
But he never expected that Crouch's performance was worse than he thought.
"What's going on? What did that idiot from the Lestrange family want to do in the past?"
Snape was still so cold and sarcastic.
"You said he was an idiot, do you think I would understand the idiot's thoughts?"
Others in the hall didn't know what Emile wanted to do, but everyone was looking forward to this scene.
Most of the people here were students of Hogwarts Castle, and Emile, Jon's enemy, was also participating in the competition on behalf of their principal, but he was not a student of Hogwarts after all.
Therefore, no matter what kind of conflict occurred between them, these people only had the mentality of watching the excitement.
Emile's face was flushed, and he seemed to have drunk some wine.
This is normal. He is a seventh-grade student and now an adult. Drinking a little is nothing, but his current state is obviously problematic.
"Jon Green!"
Emile called out Jon's name.
Jon looked at him disapprovingly, without any intention of responding. He just wanted to see what tricks this young master of the Lestrange family could come up with.
"Don't think that you are better than me just because you won the first game! Next, I will let everyone see who is worthy of being called a warrior!"
Jon put himself into Emile's perspective. He was embarrassed for this young master who didn't know whether he was sober or not.
He also understood that Emile's stopping him was definitely not Crouch's plan. It was typical that this kid drank a few sips of wine, and his dance partner talked about the first game next to him, so he was stimulated and wanted to prove in front of Jon that he was not a loser, and by the way, he would raise a flag for the next game.
After seeing what Emile was like now, Jon said sincerely.
"You can say such words to me in such an occasion, which proves that you are a real warrior."
Emile did not hear the true meaning of Jon's words, and thought he was really bragging about himself. His originally depressed heart could not help but become a little proud under the influence of alcohol.
"Hmph, you still have some self-knowledge, but don't think that I will hold back on you in the next game."
While Emile was speaking, the female companion beside him kept his eyes on Lee.
Lee was not afraid of her gaze, but held his chest and head high, but there was no more provocation.
He also knew that he couldn't speak at all without drinking the voice-changing potion. Once he spoke, he would definitely be exposed, so he should keep a low profile as much as possible.
But the girl from the Selwyn family obviously had no intention of letting him go. When she spoke, she had a malicious smile on her face.
"Hello, Miss Granger, I heard of your name a long time ago."
Lee was also good at pretending. He nodded slightly, as if he had responded but did not speak.
Although this attitude seems a bit arrogant, it is reasonable.
Jon didn't want to stay here. As long as the topic involves Hermione, there is a high possibility that Lee will be exposed. They must hurry to leave this place of trouble.
But sometimes things are often not as expected.
Just when everyone's attention was gradually not on them and they began to enter the dance floor again following the music, Selwyn seemed to be irritated by Lee's arrogant attitude. She lowered her voice but raised her tone and tone.
"I have heard of Miss Granger's most famous deed, that is, she was hung in the hallway at the back like a stinky fish. Unfortunately, I was in France at the time and couldn't see it with my own eyes!"
These words instantly quieted the atmosphere of the scene, and even Emil was sobered up by the shock.
He stared at his partner who had just kissed him in the middle of the dance floor, and subconsciously pulled away her arm.
Selwyn seemed not to notice Emil's reaction. She looked at Lee with jealous anger in her eyes.
At the beginning of entering the hall, everyone's attention was on Jon and Hermione, which made Selwyn, who originally thought that being Emil's dance partner would make him the focus of the whole audience, very angry.
Especially after she found that there was nothing wrong with Hermione's appearance, this anger became particularly fierce.
Emil was instigated by her to block Jon. This is how men who have just entered the land of tenderness are. It is difficult for them to refuse the request of girls. In addition, he said the previous words because of the alcohol.
Now Emil has obviously been awakened by the shock, but Selwyn has not felt the reaction of his male partner.
Li knew that he couldn't speak at this time no matter what. Although he was angry about Hermione being insulted, he couldn't vent it, so he still looked at her with that contemptuous look.
And Jon's eyes narrowed at some point, and it was because of this that Emil took two steps back.
"If you really know about that matter, you should also know what I did at the time, right? Miss Selwyn."
After hearing Jon's words, Selwyn turned to look at him. However, just as she turned her face, her entire field of vision was covered by a slap!
"Pah!"
Compared to two years ago, Jon is certainly no longer the same. Whether it is his magical attainments or his physical strength, he has reached the standard of a teenager.
Therefore, this slap without holding back knocked Selwyn to the ground on the spot. The huge noise was heard by many students around.
"Ah!!! You dare to hit me!"
Selwyn's scream even drowned out the dance music. The wizard band Weird Sisters stopped their work and looked in this direction.
The entire auditorium was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on their location. The Aurors who were responsible for vigilance around them also began to move. Lucius frowned and whispered something to a subordinate beside him.
On the high platform, little Barty's face was very ugly.
"What the hell are these two idiots doing!"
The targets of his insults were certainly not Jon and Hermione, but Selwyn and Emil who had hindered his plan.
Snape did not say anything, he was quietly observing Jon's next move.
Jon's moves were of course very fast, he knew what he should do most now.
After slapping Selwyn to the ground, he immediately grabbed Lee's arm, and then kicked Selwyn who was still screaming in front of him away, skipping Emil who had just been talking big but now shut up and became a mute, and walked quickly out of the auditorium.
The Aurors around him also quickened their pace to catch up. In such an occasion, they could not let Jon leave without any explanation even if he was one of the warriors participating in the competition.
Snape on the high platform seemed to have seen through everything.
"He couldn't wait. Under the influence of the potion, he began to become manic and even attacked in public at all costs."
When Barty saw that John wanted to leave the auditorium immediately, he showed joy on his face. He immediately left his seat and came to Lucius, who was directing his men, and asked him to stop all the actions of the Aurors. Then, without any explanation, he returned to Snape's side under Lucius's confused face.
"Ah, yes, it's certainly not good in front of so many people in the auditorium. They need a quiet place, right? Let's help them create such a place."
