Chapter 123 121. Traitor
Lupine was wearing a decent black robe, and his hair and beard were obviously carefully groomed. At least he looked more regular than Jon.
Azkaban's escape plan and Jon's plan to escape with the children in the castle are carried out simultaneously. Compared with the castle, escaping from that prison is obviously more dangerous.
Similarly, Dumbledore also asked Moody to take more members of the Order of the Phoenix to meet them. After breaking through the encirclement of the dementors, it took them another afternoon to get rid of the Death Eaters who came to reinforce them. hunt down.
The prisoners who escaped were all exhausted. The long-term torture in prison and today's fierce fighting made them fall asleep as soon as they returned to a safe place. Arrange a dinner party.
The celebration and welcome banquet in the Order of the Phoenix will not begin until Sirius and the others recover from a complete rest.
But Lupine's condition is not bad. He has been wandering and lurking on the island, and has not suffered any abuse from dementors. Except for today's battle, he has consumed a lot of energy, but he basically recovered after resting for half an afternoon. up.
Originally, Dumbledore planned to let him continue to serve in Hogwarts after a week of rest, but Lupine himself proposed that his condition was fine, and he could come to the carriage today.
The students were obviously unfamiliar with him, but Neville introduced him to Jon and the others in a low voice.
"I know him. My dad brought me to see him at the banquet a long time ago when the Order of the Phoenix was gathering. He has a very good personality and even gave me a box of candies."
Lupine took a seat at the long table, looked at the students who applauded for his arrival even though they were unfamiliar with him, and nodded with a gentle smile.
Jon looked at Lupine's arrival with a strange expression on his face. In his memory, this wandering wizard with a tragic ending also entered Hogwarts as a professor in the original book, but it was in the third grade. , and now it is near the end of the second grade, and the time is not bad.
This made Jon couldn't help but feel that things are right and wrong.
The dinner ended after Dumbledore had finished preaching everything. The students rescued from the castle were all arranged in the dorms on the carriage. They also experienced a lot of fright and worry today, but Before they could rest immediately, Dumbledore led them into an empty classroom alone to deal with the enrollment contracts on them.
It wasn't until close to 12 o'clock that the children lay down on the soft and comfortable four-poster beds that they had never had in another school, and soon fell asleep.
The carriage left the tulip field and continued on this journey that does not know when it will end.
After everything was settled properly, in Dumbledore's principal's room, all the professors in the school, including Lupine who just joined today, gathered here.
There is a quill and a book on Dumbledore's desk.
Looking at these two familiar things, Mag had a nostalgic look on his face.
"Bring them back, so we can take the Muggle students away before the people in that castle."
Flitwick also nodded.
Lily said coldly: "The Dark Lord relied on the continuous oppression of Muggle wizards to stabilize the unbalanced mentality that half-blood wizards have privileges over pure-blood wizards. Now the oppressed objects are lacking from the root, and there will definitely be more people in the future." Big trouble for his regime."
"Don't be confused by the situation in front of you." Dumbledore shook his head calmly and said, "He won't just watch us move and remain indifferent. He holds grudges more than anyone else. The reason why we can accomplish so many things so successfully The main reason is that he has been focusing on other aspects in the past few years, except for the incident of Horace last year, he basically adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards us."
Lupine frowned gravely.
"I've been in Azkaban all these years, and I don't know much about what's going on in the wizarding world. If the Dark Lord didn't focus on us, what else made him so focused?"
The headmaster's room fell silent for a while. Obviously, McGonagall and the others couldn't answer this question.
Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the desk surface lightly, and he spoke again after a long time.
"I learned some things from a special channel that I just obtained. Several of his most trusted subordinates, including Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange and Labastan The three of Lestrange and Pettigrew Peter, who betrayed us, have not shown their faces in public for nearly two years. I think, if the Dark Lord really has anything else If there are more important things, it may have something to do with this."
The moment he said the name "Peter Pettigrew", Lily clenched her hands tightly.
Her body visibly tensed up, and her breathing couldn't help becoming short of breath. Lupine also stared at the corner of the table with a gloomy expression.
This name that seems to have disappeared from the magic world has never been forgotten by them.
Seeing their reactions, Flitwick couldn't help but sighed, and raised his hand to pat Lily's arm to express his comfort. Dumbledore knew why they became like this when they heard this name, and he was a little tired took off his glasses.
"Don't relax your attention recently. We did achieve some successes, but compared with what we lost, these successes are not enough to transform into our capital to win. Let's go here first today, and what is his mind on? Where is it, leave it to me to investigate."
After Jon returned to the carriage, he found that life here hadn't changed much as before he left.
The rescued students were still divided according to their original grades, but the second grade students like Hermione Hunton did not attend classes with Jon and the others for the time being, but were unified and targeted after getting the wand Make up lessons.
Their study time should be tighter. After all, compared with the students on the carriage, they have missed a lot of courses they should have.
But no one complained about this point. After formally integrating into the life here, Hermione and the others were very enthusiastic about learning. Part of the extracurricular time is spent on learning magic.
Jon is also making up for the courses he missed after he was promoted to the second grade, but these have no effect on him.
And on the fifth day after he returned to the carriage, Dumbledore suddenly called him to the office.
"You did a great job as a reward, so would you like to go out and relax with me for a few days?"
