MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 448 446. Meeting
Chapter 448 446. Meeting
Jon looked at the American wizard, Matthew Graves, who was a 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 attire. He was walking along the side of the road in a hurry, and he didn't realize that Jon's eyes were on him.
Jon didn't follow up rashly. In fact, when he saw Matthew, some things could be verified.
As far as he knows, after the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Matthew has returned to the International Federation of Wizards, but he also got some news from Dumbledore. Grindelwald himself is very uncomfortable, and this kind of confrontation even extends to the Congress. In the Magic Congress of America, the former is much higher than the latter in terms of the danger level of Grindelwald and Voldemort.
So it is definitely not a coincidence that Matthew appeared here.
Either he himself represents the Magic Congress of America and is also very interested in Snape, or he is actually investigating and tracking another group of people and followed them here.
These two may be enough to make Jon's heart sink, but can Snape really attract so many people?
What exactly did Dumbledore talk to him about? What kind of deal did he make to be willing to release him?
Jon always felt that Dumbledore, that bad old man, had a very bad habit of always not telling the whole story, but he was not in the mood to go back to France now to ask for clarification.
Originally, Dumbledore didn't let him intervene too much in this matter, and he didn't say that he must help Lily catch Snape back, so Jon only cursed the old man secretly in his heart. Otherwise, return to the hotel.
By the next day, they had already lived in this hotel for three full days, and they were going to change to a new one and check in with the other two new identities.
Jon was careful this time. He directed Lily to complete the new identity change in the hotel bathroom after checking out, and at the same time directly use Apparition to leave without showing her face again, and got rid of the previous one. Watched by a gang of Death Eaters.
Then he accompanied Lily to squat on the lawn for a few days during the day, and Jon secretly stuffed one of his feathers on Lily, and left the industrial city in one night.
He didn't go too far, he was still in the UK, but he came to the Leaky Cauldron with a different identity and appearance.
As the most famous wizarding bar in the whole of Britain, even in the middle of the night, some lonely wizards would come here to drink away their sorrows, so Jon was actually not conspicuous after coming here.
Rejecting Bok Bokin's hospitality, he glanced towards the bar, and soon saw a wizard in a gray robe and a wide hood sitting in the corner near the back door.
Jon walked over, sat down on the opposite side of the wizard, and then picked up the cider in front of him, which was obviously not touched, and "Gulu Gulu" drank most of the glass.
"The law has been amended in the Wuping Line to allow underage wizards to drink alcohol?"
The wizard whose entire face was hidden under the hood asked in a low voice that could not be heard by a third person.
Jon smacked his lips indifferently. In fact, this fruity wine is not as good as drinking fruit juice directly.
"You want to take care of it? If you have the ability, go to France and report my drinking. I support it with both hands."
Lucius took a deep look at Jon. Every time he talked to Jon, he couldn't feel that this fifteen-year-old boy looked like a minor, but he was even older than an old fritter.
"How is my son over there in France?"
"He should have just witnessed a grand public trial. The news should not have been passed on for the time being, but it is estimated that you will know it in a few days, so it doesn't matter if I tell you in advance."
Jon raised his eyebrows.
"Fortunately, you didn't teach him to do good deeds, but you didn't let him be extremely evil. He was not dragged to the stage for public trial, but he had to be given some correct education. But that day he was so frightened that he saw a total of eight The classmates who got along day and night were hanged."
Lucius seemed to be stunned by Jon's words. He was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time. That is to say, taking advantage of this gap, Jon drank the glass of cider directly.
"You! How dare you kill those students!"
He trembled, and it took tremendous perseverance to restrain himself from exclaiming, and the eyes under the hood were fixed on Jon.
Jon shrugged.
"Otherwise, what do you think? No, your colleagues feel that their children are not at all dangerous if they are taken to France. Dumbledore will feed them with delicious food and drink, just because of the sentence 'they are all just children. ' And then forgive them for their mistakes? I didn't expect pure blood to be so naive."
Lucius ignored Jon's ridicule, he hadn't recovered from the astonishing amount of information.
The purebloods really never thought that Dumbledore would kill the students!
This is completely inconsistent with his previous performance. Even if it was Voldemort, when he was studying at Hogwarts, Dumbledore did not really criticize him. At most, he heard about it when he was recruited. He was full of bad deeds, and he was frightened with fire.
Even during the period when Voldemort first became popular in the wizarding world, there were already many hard-core supporters of the pure-blood theory in Slytherin College. Now the mainstay of the Death Eaters, Dumbledore also never opposed it. What did Slytherin do.
So when Dumbledore was about to take these pure-blood students away, they didn't show much concern.
But now Jon actually told him that eight students had been hanged!
This made Lucius feel that his whole body was shocked for a while, as if he heard that Dumbledore joined the enemy and joined the Death Eaters!
Jon watched Lucius' reaction with a sneer, and continued.
"Your thoughts are too ridiculous. We have been beating each other for so long, why do you still think that Professor Dumbledore might keep his hands? The mistakes made by those pure-blooded beasts should be punished like this." Forgive or ignore?"
Lucius raised his head and looked at Jon.
"So you're going to kill all the purebloods?"
Jon looked at him suspiciously.
"Do you think all pure bloods are bad people, and non-pure bloods are good people? Are you so self-aware?"
Lucius's eyelids twitched wildly, but he didn't know how to answer Jon's words that he didn't know whether he was mocking or really puzzled.
But Jon didn't mean to get any answer from him, he leaned back on the chair and said casually.
"We are not trying to create any new blood antagonisms. Wu Pingxian's ideology is not about the supremacy of hemp species. Among the eight students who were hanged, there are not only pure blood, but also hemp species and Mixed-race students. In other words, your thoughts have been solidified by the class view of blood lineage. This world should always judge crimes based on right and wrong, right? Not the ridiculous lineage."
Lucius was silent. He couldn't communicate with Jon at all on this point. As a **** fool, he didn't care what ideas he insisted on as long as it would benefit him and the Malfoy family.
And now the only thing he cares about is Draco's condition.
"Then what will happen to my son?"
"Like what I just told you, he didn't make any big mistakes, so he won't die or go to jail. At most, he will be educated in some correct concepts, and by the way, experience the hemp that was once enslaved by him. The life of a wizard is just a change of mind."
Lucius gritted his teeth and continued to ask.
"Will you use the Oblivion Charm on him?"
Jon patted the table dissatisfied.
"Don't think that we are as indiscriminate as you are. How can such a poor method of using the Forgetting Curse to change a person's mind be able to achieve long-term stability? That's what your master will do, because in fact, you It is very clear that the so-called blood theory completely violates the human rights axiom of wizards, and we are doing the right thing."
Hearing Jon's answer like this, Lucius's hanging heart was slightly relieved. Although he was shocked by whether other people's children died or not, he still didn't have such a fraternal heart to care for him. Now he only needs to know that Della Ke is safe, and he is satisfied that there will be no problems for the time being.
The topic on this aspect came to an end for the time being, and Jon didn't rush to get to the point like this. He suddenly looked at Lucius with a playful expression.
"I heard that you have been very leisurely recently, brother, and have retired at home to experience life with peace of mind? Do you have any idea of having a second child by taking this opportunity? Give Draco a younger brother or sister or something."
Lucius' face was very dark, for some reason, from Jon's tone, he had the feeling that he was communicating with Snape, that **** who couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth.
"What do you want to say."
"Recently, the British Ministry of Magic has been very uneasy."
Jon smacked his lips and said.
"After your great master experienced the loss of the Triwizard Tournament, he seemed to be a different person and started to clean the inside, right? I guess you purebloods are not as happy as they used to be. ? Then have you heard any other rumors, such as the idea that some colleagues plan to find another job?"
After Lucius heard this question, his heart suddenly jumped. He thought of some things that someone had just found and asked tentatively not long ago.
"Why am I telling you this?"
Jon spread his hands.
"Of course you don't have to say it, but you have to grasp the situation yourself, Mr. Malfoy, don't wait until we judge you in the future, and you will have already fallen in the end."
Jon's words were meaningful, and Lucius felt an irritability that he didn't want to face. 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 could finish speaking, Jon interrupted him with a wave.
"My answer is still the same. For you, we have no consideration in this regard. If you have nothing more to ask, then I think we can get down to business now, Mr. Malfoy."
Lucius' complexion was very ugly. He and Jon always failed to gain the upper hand in the communication, but were restrained everywhere.
But they did get down to business today.
During such a sensitive period of the confrontation between the British Ministry of Magic and Wu Pingxian, Jon and Lucius, of course, did not meet to cover up their identities just to taunt each other. There is still a deal to be completed between them.
As for the promise to save Draco's life in the Triwizard Tournament, Jon finally did it.
If he hadn't finally driven Voldemort's soul away, then when Voldemort's plan really succeeded, Draco would definitely die, and according to his degree of caution, he would definitely not leave anyone alive.
As Draco's reward for surviving this match, Lucius will naturally fulfill his promise.
Take Jon to the residence of Adrian, the wizard who created the ring, in England.
They left from Diagon Alley, and then in a deserted corner, Lucius used the apparition Jon to follow him to a wilderness.
Jon is not afraid that this is a trap set by Lucius, unless they have developed a magic that restrains the Phoenix's apparition, otherwise even Voldemort may not be able to keep him if he wants to leave.
After landing, Jon didn't notice any buildings in front of him, but after Lucius pulled out his wand and tapped on the grass, there was some kind of magic that seemed to be removed, and then a dilapidated old building The courtyard appeared in front of their eyes.
Jon looked at the yard carefully for a moment, then turned to look at Lucius.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Lucius had a cold face.
"We made a contract before, unless the Adrian I mentioned is not the same person as the one you know, otherwise I have no possibility of lying."
"Then what are you still doing here?" Jon looked at him and said.
Lucius took a deep breath, he glanced at Jon one last time, and said something hesitantly.
"As long as you can take good care of Draco, you can talk about everything later."
Jon waved his hand.
"Then let's talk about the rest later."
After receiving such an answer, Lucius seemed a little unwilling, but in the end he didn't have any more entanglements, and directly used apparition to leave here.
Jon waited for him to leave, then turned his head and opened the courtyard door and walked into a small deserted courtyard. It could be seen that its former owner had taken good care of this garden, but it has been abandoned for more than a dozen years now. Year.
Didn't stay in the yard, he came to the door of the house, the door was not locked, Jon easily opened the door and walked in, came to a messy and dusty living room that had been rummaged through.
