Chapter 7 7 New Students

Chapter 7 7. Freshmen

"Why do you have to think of being separated from your family as a sad thing? Thinking about it from another perspective, maybe this might be a good thing to gain freedom." The boy with a few freckles on his face and bright red hair said casually explain.

"I'm not separated from my family!" The black-haired boy with red eyes, who had obviously just cried, screamed, "They have all forgotten me! They have forgotten that I am their son!"

Tears fell from his eyes again.

"Obviously my father and mother celebrated with me yesterday that I got the admission letter from Eton College, but today they last looked at me as if they were looking at a stranger."

The boy with a round face, blond hair, and a determined gaze that was different from other children patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"There is nothing we can do about it, Justin. Professor McGonagall did this not only to protect you but also to protect your parents. If those people know that they have a magical son like you, then the future may be different." They will also be in danger."

He obviously wanted to act much more mature than the other children. Such words of comfort made the boy named Justin stop crying. He looked at the blond boy longingly.

"Then will I have a chance to meet my parents again in the future?"

The blond boy fell silent, obviously knowing that the possibility was very low.

"Yes! Justin!"

The only girl present said firmly and loudly.

"My parents have always told me that justice will definitely defeat evil! Wait until the day when Professor Dumbledore leads us to regain the equal status that should belong to us! You can be reunited with your parents!"

After Jon was sent to this room by Professor McGonagall, he had been listening to the conversation between the four children without saying a word.

Just relying on the information in their appearance and words, he had already initially recognized two of them.

The red-haired boy who spoke at the beginning had obvious physical features. Only the Weasley family had such bright red hair in the wizarding world.

This boy is naturally Ron Weasley, the protagonist of the original book, the youngest son of the pure-blood Weasley family.

Since he will appear here, it means that the position of the Weasley family is still the same as in the original work. They are willing to be "blood traitors" and would rather betray their own class than support Dumbledore for the justice in their hearts. .

The crying black-haired boy named Justin appeared in the original work, and was the Hodgepuff student who was petrified by the basilisk in the second part - Justin Finch-Fletchley.

Like Jon, he is also a Muggle student whose parents are Muggles.

As for the other blond boy and the girl

Just when Jon turned his eyes to Neville, Neville also turned to look at him.

Neville held out his hand with a smile on his face.

"Hello, my name is Neville Longbottom, and I am also a freshman at Hogwarts this year. Sorry, Justin was in a bad mood just now, and we are comforting him."

Jon's heart paused for a moment, but on the surface he calmly stretched out his hand and shook Neville's hand.

"It doesn't matter, my name is Jon Green, just call me Jon."

"This is Justin Finch-Fletchley, this is Ron Weasley, and Lavender Brown. There should be only five of us freshmen at Hogwarts this year."

While Neville and Jon were introducing each other, Ron and the others also greeted Jon. Even Justin, who was still in a low mood, said to him, "Nice to meet you."

"Are you brought here by Professor Potter?" Ron asked curiously.

Jon nodded.

"She brought me here."

"It seems that they didn't grab many students from another Hogwarts this year." Ron shrugged and said, "Justin was brought back by Professor McGonagall this afternoon. They only brought back You two."

Jon looked at Ron, and although he could guess the reason, he still asked curiously.

"What about you three?"

"Neville's family and I are members of the Order of the Phoenix and have always followed Dumbledore." Ron said carelessly. "According to the Ministry of Magic outside, our families are all wanted criminals. We have been wanted since we were young. We are destined to go to Hogwarts when we are 11 years old, because no other magic school can accept us."

"My father insisted on sending me here." Lavender said proudly. "He firmly believed that I could only get the best education here. For this reason, he even gave up his home in the UK with his mother. Ye, fled to Iceland!”

Jon also had some impressions of the name Lavender in his mind.

In the original work, she seemed to be Ron's first girlfriend. Unfortunately, there was no happy ending in the end. She died at the mouth of the werewolf Fenrir in the final battle.

As for her ancestry, there is no way to know this, but from her tone, it can be heard that at least her father is a wizard.

Jon immediately felt that the group of four freshmen he enrolled with was quite interesting.

He and Justin were Muggle students brought back from outside by their professors. Ron and Neville were both pure-blooded, while Lavender was most likely a mixed-blood.

Although there are only five freshmen here, all walks of life in the magic world are gathered here.

And Justin also clearly realized that Jon was the person who had the most similar experience to him, so he blinked and asked.

"You were also brought here after your parents' memories were erased?"

Jon could understand that he wanted to find someone in this strange place who was in the same situation as him. This would be a psychological comfort, but unfortunately their situations were different.

"I was brought out of the orphanage by Professor Potter. I have been without parents since I was a child, so I don't feel very sad."

Jasyan's eyes turned pitiful when he looked at him.

After all, he had a family before and lost it today, while Jon had never had one since he was a child, which was obviously worse than him.

"There is nothing wrong with being an orphan in this way. At least you won't be sad at this time."

Before Ron finished speaking, Neville slapped him on the back, interrupting his outspokenness, and looked at Jon with an apologetic face.

"Sorry, Jon, he always speaks carelessly like this. Ron didn't mean to mock you."

After Neville's reminder, Ron realized that the words he said without thinking were very ambiguous, and immediately apologized with an awkward smile.

"I'm sorry, Jon, I didn't mean that."

Jon certainly didn't care much about it. He smiled and shook his head, saying "It's okay". Lavender then enthusiastically changed the topic to something else.

But while they were chatting, Jon didn't attract any attention from others and looked at Neville deeply.

The polite, generous, careful and gentle boy in front of him was completely different from the timid Gryffindor in the original book.
