Chapter 108 106. How about next Thursday?
He had already packed the books and pens into the cloth bag, then left the principal's office, sneaked out of Hogwarts Castle, and came to the Pig's Head Bar.
Aberforth had been waiting for him here long ago, and Jon would inform him of the time in advance before any action in the castle, so as to avoid any unnecessary accidents that were too late to prepare.
As soon as he entered the bar, Jon put the bag containing the book of admission and the pen of acceptance in front of him.
"It's here, I got it!"
Aberforth opened the cloth bag, and saw the book of access covered in black dragon skin and the quill made of the feathers of the aurora bird, with a relaxed smile on his face.
Leaving aside other things, at least their initial purpose was completed. With books and pens, it was of great significance to Hogwarts on the carriage.
Before they competed with Hogwarts Castle for students, they basically observed the actions of the professors in that castle when the school was about to start, and then started. The efficiency was extremely low, and there was no way to protect more Muggle students from enrolling each year. .
But now that they have the books and pens, the situation will be completely reversed. The difficulty of recruiting Hogwarts castle will be greatly increased, because they not only have to take care of Muggle students, but also screen pure-blood and mixed-blood children. They are all wizards, and the newborn child may be a squib before fully revealing his magical talents.
Under Voldemort's rule, the social status of Squibs was not much better than that of Mudbloods, and it may even be worse, so some parents will hide the fact that their children are Squibs, pretending that their children have shown signs of magical talent. , to deceive the Ministry of Magic's reconnaissance.
Muggle students are even more difficult to identify, because there are more people, and there are tens of thousands of newborns every year. The staff in the Hogwarts castle do not have so much energy to check whose children show their children one by one. Special talents, which will cause great trouble to their recruiting work.
But for the Hogwarts carriage, the only objects they wanted to recruit were Muggle students. Other pure-blood and mixed-blood families who were dissatisfied with Voldemort's rule would have to send their children to Dumbledore. I found it on my own initiative.
Now that there are books and pens, it will undoubtedly make them more convenient. There is no need to wait until the student is eleven years old. When the name is first recorded in the admission book, the professors can contact this gifted student.
All in all, the existence of the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance is very important to any Hogwarts, so this is Dumbledore's purpose for letting Jon sneak into the castle in the first place.
And now this goal has been perfectly achieved.
But after Aberforth showed a smile after seeing the book and pen, his face turned back to silence again.
Jon also sat at the table and didn't speak. The two of them looked at each other, knowing that according to the original plan, since the latent purpose had been completed, then Jon should leave here and return to the Hogwarts carriage on.
After that, everything in Hogwarts castle has nothing to do with him anymore, Randy Smith, a mudblood student, will disappear, no matter what Voldemort does after discovering that the headmaster's room has been broken into and books and pens have been stolen No amount of anger would involve Jon Green in the slightest.
But now neither Jon nor Aberforth mentioned the matter of leaving. After a long silence in the tavern, Jon asked first.
"You said before that Professor Dumbledore can contact me tonight?"
Aberforth took out his pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the time on it.
"In half an hour, the Order of the Phoenix will be able to establish an independent floo network. This floe network can last for about 48 hours. During this period, you can get in touch with Albus at any time."
Jon nodded quietly. He stared at the night outside the window without blinking, as if he was thinking about how to speak when he met Dumbledore later.
Aberforth didn't bother him, but went to the bar and prepared a cup of hot cocoa for him.
The originally bright orange-yellow fire turned dark green in the next second, and then the flames rose, and the green fire soon formed a person's upper body.
Dumbledore looked at Aberforth with a smile through the Floo network, and a voice came from the fireplace.
"You seem to be living a good life recently, and your mental state is much better than mine."
Aberforth had a stinky face. The first time he saw Dumbledore, he pulled his face down, like an old goat with a long face.
"I'm younger than you! Of course I'm much stronger than you! Old man, your students want to see you!"
He was cursing, as if he was about to turn around and leave this space for Jon and Dumbledore, when he suddenly turned back and stared at Dumbledore silently and said something.
"This kid has done a good job, you can seriously consider his appeal."
Dumbledore just smiled and nodded at him.
Aberforth retreated behind the bar, leaving the space here for Jon and Dumbledore, and after he left, Jon also stood up from his chair.
"I got it, Professor."
Dumbledore's face was obviously surprised, and the final result did not surprise him at all. Since he dared to ask Jon to do this, he knew that he had the ability to complete this task, but he did not expect Jon's The action is so fast, and the set goal has been completed after only a little more than half a school year.
"Well done, Jon, it turns out you're far better than I thought you were."
He said with emotion, but in the face of his praise and praise, Jon did not show the slightest happy expression on his face, his eyes were still so dignified, and he said with a heavy expression.
"But I have one thing I want to discuss with you, Professor."
As if seeing Jon's seriousness, Dumbledore also restrained the smile on his face. He looked at Jon seriously, nodded and said.
"Tell me what's on your mind."
Jon opened his mouth. He had already envisioned a lot of reasons in his mind on how to persuade Dumbledore, but now, when it was time for him to speak, he just asked.
"Can we rescue all the Muggle students in the castle?"
The scene fell silent.
Behind the bar, Aberforth subconsciously stopped his hand wiping the glass, Jon held his breath, and Dumbledore in the flames showed a thinking and hesitant expression.
Seeing this, Jon's heart sank gradually, until a few seconds later, Dumbledore suddenly spoke.
"If... we set the rescue time for next Thursday, will your side have time to prepare?"
"boom!"
Aberforth accidentally dropped the cup on the ground, and Jon was completely stunned.
