Chapter 121 119. The real Hogwarts
Fox took Jon and Hermione to a hut in front of the woods.
This hut is the same as the safe hut that Jon arrived at first when Lily brought him out of the orphanage. It was made by the Order of the Phoenix and scattered all over the UK to temporarily hide the traces of apparation.
Phoenix’s apparition will of course not be traced to the source, but Mag, Kingsley, and two wizards in the Order of the Phoenix took the students who escaped from the secret passage of the castle and temporarily hid in this place first.
The enrollment contracts on these children have not been completely resolved, but before coming here, McGonagall and the others used a spell to temporarily block the tracking effect. To completely eliminate it, Dumbledore needs to do it himself.
And after Jon brought Hermione here, the children were extremely happy.
Seeing familiar people, they were finally able to vent their nervousness and worry. Some hugged Hermione and some hugged Jon and cried bitterly. Jon's arm cried the loudest.
But the crisis has not been completely resolved, and McGonagall immediately covered Hermione's enrollment contract in the same way, and then unified used Apparition again, leading them to a new safe house .
When they got here, the rescued children were so pale that they couldn't help retching. Even Jon couldn't get used to the feeling when he experienced Apparition for the first time. They experienced it twice in a row. Feeling dizzy even more now.
At the same time, although Jon and Hermione's safe return made their mood not as low as it was at the beginning, the uneasiness in their hearts has not diminished in the slightest.
When they first escaped, the professors from another Hogwarts school who came to meet them were very gentle, without the slightest contempt and indifference towards them from the teachers in that castle, but the long-term slavery has made them They are instinctively wary of strangers.
After arriving at this safe house, McGregor Kingsley and the others began to get busy, lit the fire, boiled chocolate, and then gave each of the children sitting here a cup to relieve their physical discomfort caused by apparition. .
The actions of McGonagall and the others made the children a little restless. The first-grade children were fine, they had only entered the castle for less than a year, while the second-grade students were mostly a little panicked.
Just like a child who has been abused all day long, if suddenly one day an adult reaches out and hands him a piece of candy, his immediate reaction will definitely not be to accept it generously, but to shrink his neck and hide In the corner, he looked timidly at the person who stretched out his hand.
Fortunately, there is Jon, the bridge.
He quickly helped Mag distribute the hot chocolate to each child, and at the same time, in front of them, he took a big sip first, and then said to them with a grin.
"I suggest that you don't drink so fast when you drink."
The children looked at him and couldn't help laughing, and their emotions relaxed a lot. Some children even looked at Mag cautiously and asked.
"Professor, will we still be mudbloods?"
Professor McGonagall looked at the appearance of these children, and had just quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she showed a gentle smile that she had never had before.
"Forget that title, kids, you're no different than everyone else."
Her answer made the child's eyes shine, and his voice unconsciously became a little louder, but there was still a subconscious pleading in that tone.
"Then can we learn real magic in the future?"
Mag reached out and touched his head.
"I am your professor of transfiguration and herbal medicine. You must listen carefully to my class in the future."
Their conversation made the children completely let go of their subconscious vigilance. They hugged the warm chocolate, and finally showed a smile on their faces that they hadn't shown for a long time.
Hermione is also smiling, but when she is smiling, her eyes are always on Jon.
Of course Jon is not blind, he naturally sensed her gaze, so he turned to look at her suspiciously and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Why haven't you returned to your original appearance, professor?" The girl bit the word professor hard, as if she had seen something from the relationship between Jon and Mag just now.
Jon's face remained unchanged, he shrugged and said.
"The compound decoction will take 12 hours to remove the effect. If you want to see the real me, you probably have to wait until around six o'clock in the afternoon."
Hermione didn't struggle with this, no matter what Jon's identity was, she didn't care, and it wouldn't affect her gratitude to him in the slightest.
"Thank you very much." She gave Jon a hug.
Jon patted the girl's thin shoulder, and he said with a smile.
"You should thank yourself."
They stayed here until five o'clock in the afternoon, and when the sky began to darken, Mag and the others continued their journey with these children who had rested enough.
Continue to use apparation, this time they came to a vast tulip garden.
The Hogwarts carriage was parked on the lawn in the middle of the garden, with candles flying around, and fairies with wings looming among the flowers.
When Mag and his group first appeared here, the students who were busy arranging the venue and preparing for the grand welcome ceremony in the evening shouted in a hurry.
"Here they come! Here they come!"
The soles of their feet hit the ground again. Before the children realized what a dreamlike place they had arrived, the sound of fireworks exploding sounded beside them.
Colorful ribbons and sequins fluttered down from their heads, and the students on the carriage who didn't know the exact time even though they had been notified in advance, quickly stood in a chaotic formation according to the original rehearsal, and they happily shouted in harmony .
"Welcome to the real Hogwarts!"
These children were all stunned. They looked at this beautiful scene that they didn't even dare to dream of in their dreams. Everyone couldn't help but burst into tears.
The students in the carriage enthusiastically pulled them to both sides of the long table placed in the middle of the lawn, and Dumbledore was sitting at the front of the long table, his smile was as warm as a winter fireplace, and he looked at Joe like this Well, said softly.
"You did better than anyone could have imagined, Jon. Thank you for taking these children and getting out of that cage."
