Chapter 98 96 It’s Difficult

Chapter 98 96. Difficulty

Jon returned to the headmaster's office.

His brain was working very fast and calm now.

The basilisk was obviously the first line of defense against the headmaster's office. If he guessed correctly, the four relics on the table were the second, and the three portraits in the room in the tower were the last.

The portraits in the magic world are alive, and the portrait of the same person can instantly go back and forth in his own portrait at any position, without any magical constraints or restrictions.

There is a great probability that the three portraits are related to Voldemort. This last line of defense seems to be just three paintings, but in fact it represents Voldemort himself!

If he hadn't used the telescopic eye prepared by Aberforth just now, and just pushed the door and walked in, then the next moment, it is estimated that the most powerful person in the magic world today would appear in front of him, and he would not even give Jon the opportunity to pick up the book and pen and run directly.

Facing Voldemort, even if Dumbledore was there, it can be said that there is no solution.

But Jon's current situation is far from unsolvable. After all, the three paintings have not received any warning, which means that Voldemort does not know that his headmaster's office has been broken into.

This means that Jon still has time to plan.

If Voldemort comes in person, it will certainly be a dead end. What if there is a way to prevent the three paintings from contacting Voldemort?

Jon thought in his heart, and his hands did not stop moving. He waved his wand to clean up the messy hallway and the smelly blood of the basilisk that died in the headmaster's office.

There is a basilisk guarding here, which means that Voldemort prohibits anyone in the castle from entering his headmaster's office. Although the basilisk has its own consciousness and can choose who to kill or not, the magic on its eyes will be triggered as long as it is stared at. Unless it is a parsel tongue, it will use its eyes to see any movement at the door. No matter who comes in, even Snape, the vice-headmaster, will die immediately when they look into its eyes.

As long as he cleaned up the strong smell of blood, no one would know that the basilisk guarding here had been killed, and it was killed by a mudblood student, unless Voldemort came to attend the opening dinner when school started next year.

Just as Jon cleaned up the hallway and cleaned up all the blood from the basilisk, a door suddenly opened behind him!

Jon's body froze instantly!

The moment he heard the sound, his hand slipped into his sleeve and held a bright red feather in his hand. Then he suddenly turned around to see the person who opened the door of the principal's office.

Hermione stood outside the door blankly, looking at the dead giant venomous snake next to Jon. Jon was also looking at the panting girl who had obviously run all the way here.

It was difficult.

He frowned and slowly relaxed his clenched palm. When he was about to speak, Hermione reacted first and said in an extremely hurried tone.

"Dolohov came back early, he's looking for you now!"

Jon reacted quickly, he knew very well that if Hermione was telling the truth, he would have to face more difficult things if he didn't handle the situation properly.

He quickly patted his dirty robes, not using the cleaning spell directly, because it would be more suspicious if it was too clean.

He walked out of the principal's office quickly while patting his robes, then turned around and closed the door tightly.

"How long did it take you to come up to me?"

He put away his wand, took out the invisibility cloak, and asked quickly.

Hermione's answer was also very fast.

"Three minutes. I went to the storage room on the first floor first. I didn't find you there, so I came here. The stairs helped me. They saved me a lot of walking."

"Did anyone see you coming up from the basement?"

"No, I walked up the stairs along the corner in front of the dormitory door. They all thought I went to your dormitory to find you. I made an excuse for you, saying that you had a stomachache from eating bad cookies."

The two of them tacitly didn't ask each other why they were here. As long as they solved the crisis at hand, there would be plenty of time to ask in the future.

Jon directly covered them with the invisibility cloak. The cloak was big enough. Both of them were only 12 years old and small in size. It was more than enough to cover three people.

As soon as they ran to the stairs together, those stairs looked familiar to Hermione as she said, and they automatically led them down, and they came to the first floor from the eighth floor at a very fast speed.

During this time, Jon took out the Marauder's Map. He had no way to stare at the map in the principal's office just now, but the map had been opened before he killed the basilisk, so he could check it at any time.

At this time, on the map, Dolohov's name was clearly in the basement.

Hermione did not lie, and the administrator had not noticed anything wrong at this time, and was still waiting there.

After confirming that there was still room to hide, Jon quickly put away the Marauder's Map, then grabbed Hermione's arm and ran from the first floor to the basement stairs.

When he was close to the basement, he put away the invisibility cloak, and then did not breathe steadily, and just pushed open the basement door with Hermione breathing rapidly.

Dolokhov stared at the two of them as they walked in. When his eyes fell on Jon's pale face because he was knocked against the wall by the basilisk, a sneer appeared on his face.

"I feel bad after eating expired food. Did you squat in the bathroom for a long time?"

Jon lowered his head "cowardly" and whispered.

"Hug, I'm sorry, sir, I shouldn't have hidden the cookies for so long before eating them."

"It's not your fault Smith, Mudbloods should not waste food like this. But I hate waiting for people, especially waiting for a Mudblood."

He stared at Jon with a "fearful" face, as if he would whip out the whip at the next moment, but then he suddenly laughed again.

"But you have good luck today, I am in a good mood, and your usual performance is also very good, so I don't need to slap you, but for the rest of the holiday, you will clean the entire bathroom in the castle. ”

After hearing what he said, Jon breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this level, he was fooled.

"Okay, okay, sir."

After that, he and Hermione returned to the group of Mudblood students. Dolohov didn't know what happy thing he encountered today. He was really happy and even called a house elf to let everyone in the kitchen. Every Mudblood student prepares a small cream cake as a dessert on Christmas night.
