Chapter 448 446 Meeting

Chapter 448 446. Meeting

Jon looked at the American wizard Matthew Graves, who was the referee at Hogwarts Castle and presided over the entire Triwizard Tournament half a month ago.

He was wearing a simple thin coat and a normal Muggle outfit. He was walking quickly along the roadside in a hurry, not realizing that Jon's eyes were already on him.

Jon didn't follow him rashly. In fact, the moment he saw Matthew, some things could be verified.

As far as he knew, after the Triwizard Tournament, Matthew had returned to the International Federation of Wizards, but he also got some news from Dumbledore. The referee's Graves family and Grindelwald himself was very difficult to deal with, and this lack of dealing with him even extended to Congress. In the Magical Congress of the United States, the danger level of Grindelwald and Voldemort was unknown to Grindelwald, but the former was much higher than the latter.

So Matthew's appearance here is definitely not an accident.

Either he represents the Magical Congress of the United States of America and is also very interested in Snape, or he is actually investigating and tracking another group of people and followed them here.

Either one of these two might be enough to make Jon's heart sink slightly, but can Snape really attract so many people?

What on earth did Dumbledore talk to him about? What kind of deal did you make to be willing to release him?

Jon always felt that Dumbledore's bad old man had a very bad habit of never telling the whole story, but he didn't have the mood to go back to France right now to ask for clarification.

Originally, Dumbledore didn't let him interfere too much in this matter, nor did he say that he must help Lily catch Snape, so Jon secretly cursed the old man in his heart. Then returned to the hotel.

By the next day, they had stayed in this hotel for three days and were ready to move to a new one and check in with two other new identities.

Jon was careful this time. He directed Lily to complete the transformation of her new identity directly in the hotel bathroom after checking out. At the same time, she directly used Apparition to leave without showing her face again, getting rid of the other people before. Watched by a gang of Death Eaters.

Then he accompanied Lily to squat on the lawn during the day for a few days. After that, Jon secretly stuffed one of his feathers into Lily and left this industrial city in one night.

He didn't go too far, he was still in England, but he just came to the Leaky Cauldron with a different identity and appearance.

As the most famous wizarding bar in the UK, even in the middle of the night, there are some lonely wizards who come here to drink away their sorrows, so Jon is not actually conspicuous after coming here.

Rejecting Bork Borgin's invitation, he glanced toward the bar and soon saw a wizard wearing gray robes and a wide hood sitting in the corner near the back door.

Jon walked over and sat down opposite the wizard, then picked up the cider in front of him that was obviously untouched, and drank half of the glass with a "gurgling" sound.

"The law has been changed in Wuping Line to allow underage wizards to drink?"

The wizard, whose entire face was hidden under his hood, asked in a low voice that could not be heard by a third person.

Jon didn't care and smacked his lips. In fact, this fruity wine was not as delicious as drinking juice directly.

"Do you want to take care of it? If you have the ability, go to France now and report my drinking. I support you with both hands."

Lucius took a deep look at Jon. Every time he talked to Jon, he didn't feel that this fifteen-year-old boy looked like a minor at all. On the contrary, he was even more mature than a veteran.

"How is my son doing over there in France?"

"He should have just witnessed a grand public trial. The news should not have come through yet, but I guess you will know about it in a few days, so it doesn't matter if I tell you in advance now."

Jon raised his eyebrows.

"Fortunately, you didn't teach him to do any good things, but you didn't teach him to be extremely evil. He was not brought to the stage for a public trial. He just needed to be given some correct education. But he was very frightened that day. He saw eight people with his own eyes. The classmate who lived with him day and night was hanged."

Lucius seemed to be stunned by Jon's words. He was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jon drank the glass of cider directly.

"You! How dare you kill those students!"

He was trembling, and it took tremendous perseverance to restrain himself from screaming, and his eyes under the hood were staring at Jon.

Jon shrugged.

"Otherwise, what do you think? Your colleagues don't think there is any danger at all when their children are taken to France. Dumbledore will feed them well, just because they are just children." 'Then forgive them for the mistakes they made? I didn't expect pure blood to be so naive."

Lucius ignored Jon's sarcasm. He had not yet recovered from the astonishing amount of information.

Purebloods really never thought that Dumbledore would kill students!

This was completely inconsistent with his previous performance. Even for the former Voldemort, Dumbledore didn't really criticize him for anything when he was a student at Hogwarts. At most, he only heard about it when he first recruited him. He was full of misdeeds, so he used fire to scare him.

Even when Voldemort was just starting to gain power in the wizarding world, many die-hard supporters of the pure-blood theory had already appeared in Slytherin College. Dumbledore, the mainstay of the Death Eaters, had never taken any action against Slytherin.

So when Dumbledore wanted to take these pure-blood students away, they did not show much worry.

But now Jon actually told him that eight students had been hanged!

This made Lucius feel shocked for a moment, as if he had heard that Dumbledore had surrendered to the enemy and joined the Death Eaters!

Jon sneered at Lucius's reaction and continued.

"Your ideas are too ridiculous. We have been fighting for so long, why do you still think that Professor Dumbledore will still hold back? The mistakes made by those pure-blood beasts should be forgiven or ignored like this?"

Lucius raised his head and looked at Jon.

"So you plan to kill all the pure-bloods?"

Jon looked at him puzzledly.

"Do you think all purebloods are bad, and all non-purebloods are good? Are you so self-aware?"

Lucius' eyelids twitched wildly, but he didn't know how to respond to Jon's words, which were either mocking or genuinely confusing.

But Jon didn't intend to get any answers from him. He leaned back in his chair and said casually.

"We are not trying to create a new bloodline opposition. The idea that the Witch Line adheres to is not to say that Muggles are supreme. Among the eight students hanged, there are not only purebloods, but also Muggles and half-blood students who help the evil. Or your thoughts have been solidified by the class view of bloodline theory. Isn't this world supposed to judge crimes based on right and wrong? Not that ridiculous bloodline."

Lucius was silent. He couldn't communicate with Jon at all on this point. As a die-hard fence-sitter, he didn't care what ideas he insisted on as long as it could bring benefits to him and the Malfoy family.

And now the only thing he cared about was Draco's condition.

"What will happen to my son in the future?"

"Like I told you just now, he hasn't committed any major mistakes, so he won't die or go to jail. At most, he will be educated on some correct concepts, and experience the life of the Muggle wizards he once enslaved, and transform his thoughts."

Lucius gritted his teeth and continued to ask.

"Will you use the Oblivion Spell on him?"

Jon slapped the table in dissatisfaction.

"Don't think we are as despicable as you. How can such a lowly method of using the Oblivion Spell to change a person's mind achieve long-term stability? Only your master would do this, because in fact, you all know that the so-called bloodline theory completely violates the human rights axiom of wizards, and what we are doing is all right."

Hearing Jon's answer, Lucius's hanging heart was slightly relieved. Although he was shocked whether other people's children would die or not, he didn't have such a philanthropic heart to care. Now as long as he knew that Draco was safe and would not have any problems for the time being, he was already satisfied.

The topic on this aspect came to an end for the time being, and Jon was not in a hurry to get to the point. He suddenly looked at Lucius with a playful look.

"I heard that you have been very free recently, and you have retired at home to experience life? Do you want to take this opportunity to have a second child? Give Draco a brother or sister or something."

Lucius's face was very dark. For some reason, from Jon's tone, he felt that he was communicating with Snape, a bastard who couldn't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.

"What do you want to say."

"The British Ministry of Magic has been very uneasy recently."

Jon smacked his lips and said.

"After the defeat in the Triwizard Tournament, your great master seemed to have become a different person and started to clean up the internal affairs, right? I guess the days of you pure bloods are not as good as before, right? Have you heard some other rumors, such as the idea that some colleagues intend to go to other places?"

Lucius' heart was obviously shocked when he heard this question. He thought of something that someone had just found and asked tentatively not long ago.

"Why should I tell you this?"

Jon spread his hands.

"Of course you can choose not to tell me, but you have to grasp the situation, Mr. Malfoy. Don't let yourself get into trouble before we judge you in the future."

Jon's words were meaningful, which made Lucius feel annoyed and unwilling to face it. He cleared his throat.

"If you still want to talk about trading intelligence, then we can continue to talk, although I am no longer the Auror Command."

Before he finished speaking, Jon waved his hand to interrupt him.

"My answer is still the same. We have no consideration for you in this regard. If you don't have anything more to ask, then I think we can get down to business now, Mr. Malfoy."

Lucius's face was not good. He and Jon always failed to gain the upper hand in communication, but were restrained everywhere.

But they really had to get down to business today.

During such a sensitive period of confrontation between the British Ministry of Magic and the Wizarding World, John and Lucius met with concealed identities not just to mock each other, but there was a deal to be completed between them.

Jon finally fulfilled his promise to save Draco's life in the Triwizard Tournament.

If he hadn't driven away Voldemort's soul in the end, Draco would definitely be dead if Voldemort's plan really succeeded. Given his cautiousness, he would definitely not leave anyone alive.

As a reward for Draco's successful survival in this game, Lucius naturally had to fulfill his promise.

He took Jon to the residence of Adrian, the wizard who created the ring, in the UK.

They left Diagon Alley, and then Lucius used Apparition in an uninhabited corner and Jon followed him to a deserted wilderness.

Jon was not afraid that this was a trap set by Lucius. Unless they developed a magic to restrain the Phoenix Apparition, if he wanted to leave, even Voldemort might not be able to stop him.

After landing, Jon didn't find any buildings in front of him, but after Lucius took out his wand and tapped the grass gently, some magic seemed to be removed, and then a dilapidated old yard appeared in front of them.

Jon looked at the yard carefully for a moment, then turned to look at Lucius.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

Lucius had a cold face.

"We have made a contract before. Unless the Adrian I'm talking about is not the same person as the one you know, there is no possibility of me lying."

"Then why are you still here?" Jon looked at him.

Lucius took a deep breath, he looked at Jon for the last time, and said hesitantly.

"As long as you can take good care of Draco, everything will be fine later."

Jon waved his hand.

"Then let's talk about the rest later."

After getting such an answer, Lucius seemed a little unwilling, but in the end he didn't bother anymore and used Apparition to leave here directly.

After he left, Jon turned around, pushed open the gate and walked into a deserted courtyard. It was obvious that the former owner had taken good care of the garden, but it had been abandoned for more than a decade.

Without stopping in the yard, he came to the door of the house. The door was not locked, so Jon easily pushed the door open and walked in, coming to a messy and dusty living room that had been rummaged through.
