Chapter 460 458 Durmstrang Graduate Sister

Chapter 460 458. The Graduate Sister of Durmstrang

Jon and Hermione were warmly received by the Delacour family.

Their trip was very smooth, and they found Gabrielle's parents and sister without any setbacks.

Only at the lunch table did they have the opportunity to exchange information with each other.

After the Delacour family fled from France urgently, they first settled down in Germany, and then the first thing they thought about was to bring Gabrielle over.

But at that time, Voldemort had completely occupied the whole of France, and the correctional institution had been established. France was in chaos, and the Delacour family had no chance to contact any of the contacts they had left in France.

At that time, Madame Maxime had also fled from Beauxbatons. Even if they could contact someone, they would not be able to find their little daughter who had become a ghost and was entrusted to Hogwarts.

Later, because of the confrontation between the Witch Line and Voldemort, Germany also became unsafe, and the fierce bloodline theorists began to create chaos everywhere. The Delacour family had no choice but to continue to go north and came to Herning, Denmark.

They lived there for about half a year, and it was during that time that the entire Delacour family began to get in touch with the living habits of Muggles.

The increasingly bad situation in the magic world has made them ready. If it really comes to that inevitable point later, then their family would rather abandon their identity as wizards and everything related to magic, and be Muggles rather than be pure-blood slaves.

Similarly, even at this time, the family did not give up the idea of ​​finding Gabrielle. Mr. Delacour thought of countless ways to reconnect with his previous contacts in France and try to get some information.

However, that was just before the Witch Line broke through the correctional facility, and the war was the most intense period. Mr. Delacour's attempt not only did not get any results, but also exposed the information that their family was hiding in Herning.

Forced to do so, they had to relocate for the second time. After this, Mr. Delacour, as the head of the family, finally made up his mind to keep his wife and eldest daughter safe first. He chose to believe in Madame Maxime's ability and that she would definitely be able to take good care of Gabrielle.

Then they came to Aarhus and changed their surnames to settle down completely. Mr. Delacour finally used magic to create a fake identity for their family that was legal in the Muggle society, and then sealed up all the wands of the family.

They have begun to understand and get used to the daily life of Muggles. Even if they were harassed in the past few months, they would call the police to solve the problem.

And in this situation, Jon and Hermione came to the door with Gabrielle.

Jon also made a statement to the Delacour family about what happened in the wizarding world in the past two years.

From the battle to capture the correctional facility not long after their family made a decision to completely cut off contact with the wizarding world, to the Triwizard Tournament in France, where only Paris and Beauxbatons were not recovered, to the current situation where the Wizarding World has completely recovered the entire French territory.

Only now did the Delacour family know what had happened in the wizarding world when they had completely lost hope.

Gabrielle's father was ashamed of this.

He confessed to Jon that he was incompetent and that he could only choose to escape when he encountered such a situation, instead of joining forces with the people around him to resist.

Jon comforted him that at that time, when the Wizarding Horizon had not yet been established, escaping was the most correct choice.

If they really chose to resist at that time, the Delacour family would definitely not be able to make any waves, and the whole family would directly disappear from the world.

The key to the French wizards' confidence in the fight against Voldemort was actually Dumbledore.

Only with the top combat power that could go head-to-head with Voldemort himself, the Wizarding Horizon was qualified to challenge the two magic governments of Britain and France at that time.

Jon certainly did not include himself in the major events he described.

But even if he didn't say it, Gabrielle, who had wiped away her tears, couldn't stay idle at all, and told her parents and sister all the experiences she had with Jon when she became a ghost, like pouring beans.

To be honest, Gabrielle's experience is much more exciting than most Hogwarts students.

When she was still a ghost, she followed Jon to the North Pole. That trip can be said to be a deep tiger's den.

It was from her mouth that the Delacour couple knew that the young man in front of them, who looked harmless on the outside, was not as peaceful as he appeared on the outside.

After talking about everything, they had a hearty lunch at Delacour. Later, of course, their family would move back to France.

It's just that there is no need to be so anxious to act. They have lived here for a year. There are still some things to pack up. People can't just disappear. Interpersonal relationships in the Muggle society must be taken care of, so they are not in a hurry to leave that day.

After Jon and Hermione found Gabrielle's family with her, they were not in a hurry to go back.

Now it is summer vacation. They have never been to Denmark. With the kind invitation of the Delacour family, it is indeed no problem to stay here for a few days.

So after deciding to stay for two days, Jon first wrote a letter to Dumbledore, informing him that the trip was going well and asking him to help convey the matter to Madam Maxim so that he could rest assured.

As the second largest city in Denmark, Aarhus is also a port city and indeed has many places worth visiting.

The old buildings here are basically in Gothic style, the most famous of which is St. Clemens Cathedral in the city center. This church retains part of the old part from 1197 and passed through in the 15th century. After a major revision, it became a Gothic architectural style. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was repaired and a spire was added.

The people who went out in the afternoon were mainly led by Gabrielle's sister Fleur. She looked like she hadn't seen her sister for a long time and had countless things to talk about, so she led Gabrielle in front, while Jon and Hermione followed. behind them.

"My mother is religious, and I started praying with her before meals when I was in elementary school. But then after I was taken to Hogwarts Castle, I no longer believed in it."

Hermione looked up at the church that was full of traces of time.

"Maybe there really is a god in this world, but there is a high probability that it is not an omnipotent God, but an extremely powerful wizard discovered by Muggles."

Jon also said.

"Actually, I used to wonder why a large number of wizards still have religious habits. After all, if you have a deeper understanding of magic, you will know that the essence of magic we have is the ability to make your wishes come true. , and magic is the source of this ability. Wizards already have this ability, so why do they still believe in a God in this world? I asked this question to my teacher Professor Slughorn at that time? , he told me that magic also has boundaries, just like no one can violate Gamp's law of transformation. Even the most powerful wizard cannot transform food out of thin air, or even turn another inedible thing into something edible. "Because wizards can't do it, they imagine that Almighty God can do it, and the teachings can be spread in the magical world."

"And whether you believe in religion or not is not based on whether wizards have extraordinary abilities that Muggles do not have, but on whether individuals have a materialistic worldview that believes that matter determines consciousness. The magic we use obviously breaks this The first law is that magic allows will to change matter, which makes it easier for wizards than Muggles to believe that there is an omniscient and omnipotent God who can control the world through consciousness. "

Hermione saw the cross directly in front of the church.

"Perhaps it's because the laws of magic have not been truly discovered? Magic has no consciousness, so it is also a kind of substance. Is it possible that wizards' so-called reliance on will to influence the world is just like Muggles who have mastered the use of tools? The method is the same, but artificially using matter to change another matter? "

"I seem to have seen someone studying this problem somewhere." Jon pondered.

Before he could figure out the answer, Hermione had already revealed the origin of this conjecture.

"It's in Durmstrang's library. Some of the notes are about proposing various hypotheses like this. This is obviously not a question that a pure wizard can ask."

After hearing her talk about Durmstrang's library, Jon's face showed realization.

Then it's not surprising.

It is not surprising that some strange knowledge appears in Durmstrang, especially since Jon has some inside knowledge of what Grindelwald is doing.

"This is just a conversation between us, but don't let anyone else say it. If any paranoid wizard hears it, there will probably be trouble."

Their conversation was not loud, but because Fleur and Gabrielle were walking in front of them, some of it could be vaguely heard.

But obviously, even if she had been in contact with Muggle society for a while, Fleur couldn't understand these things. She just looked down at Gabrielle with a strange look and asked in a low voice.

"Are they in love? This kind of communication between lovers is really strange."

"no!"

Gabrielle answered loudly and affirmatively, but it was more like a sign of anger.

While Fleur was still wondering why she reacted so violently, an unexpected voice suddenly broke into their chat.

"Professor Green?"

The four of them were stunned by the sudden address. Jon was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that the address was calling him.

He turned to look at the source of the sound. A girl dressed as a nun who had just walked out of the church waved to him with wide eyes.

"Who are you?"

The nun turned her head and whispered a few words to an old nun beside her. Then the old lady, who seemed to be in her seventies or eighties, took a deep look at Jon, then turned and left.

The nun who had received permission trotted happily to Jon's side.

"Helene Rozier, professor, you probably don't have much impression of me, but you should still remember my cousin Daisy, right? I'm only two months younger than her."

Hearing her introduce herself like this, coupled with the title of professor, Jon was sure that she was a student of Durmstrang.

Or should I say former students.

She is only two months younger than Daisy, which means they are at the same level. Now that Daisy has finished the semester of the Triwizard Tournament, she should be a graduate, and so should the girl named Hailin. So true.

It's just that Durmstrang students come to Denmark to become nuns in churches after graduation?

Although Jon is nominally a professor at Durmstrang, he really doesn't know much about the employment options after graduating from this magic school.

Is the choice so wide?

"I feel like you are a fool even though I'm far away, but I don't dare to admit it. The last time I saw you was on the night of the Triwizard Tournament. I remember that you changed your age due to some magic at that time. It’s just that he was young, I didn’t expect him to change back so quickly.”

Hailin was obviously a very enthusiastic girl. She grabbed Jon's arm without any hesitation and started talking to herself.

Jon was very discerning and pulled his arm out of the arms of the girl who looked like a newly minted nun.

Only then did Hailin seem to notice the other people around her.

The little girl who was glaring at her angrily looked familiar to her. When Gabri was at Durmstrang, she used her ghost identity to run around, and many Durmstrang students did. Get to know her.

As for Hermione, whose expression on her face didn't seem to have changed much. She was still smiling, but her eyes were slightly narrowed. She was even more familiar with it.

As one of the students who followed Veda Rozier to the Hogwarts Castle this year, she certainly knew that this girl with long chestnut hair and a cap on her head was Jon's dance partner at last year's prom.

Only Fleur had never been seen before, but based on her face, which was an enlarged version of Gabrielle, she could guess the relationship between the two with a little bit of thinking.

"Professor, are you going on a trip?"

Hailin waved to Gabrielle, Hermione and Fleur and the three of them, and asked with an ambiguous smile on her face.

It could be seen that this Rozier was obviously not as serious as her sister Daisy, and she must be thinking about something rude in her mind, so Jon patted her head politely.

"I'm here to take Gabri to find her family. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You think that you will be the same after you come out of Durmstrang, right?"

It is also rare for Jon to use his status as a professor to teach someone a lesson. The main reason is that Durmstrang's students are almost all Grindelwald's followers. They have basically recognized Jon's identity as a professor, especially among the top three. After the competition.
