Regarding Cedric, Dumbledore didn't say how to make good use of his advantage in Hogwarts castle last night.
But one thing Jon is certain of.
That is, he would rather Cedric not play any role, and he would not let any accident happen to this boy who turned from the dark to the bright.
Of course, this is not only out of Dumbledore's kindness, but also because the existence of Cedric himself is an example.
This means that even with Voldemort's high-handed rule, there are still enlightened wizards like Cedric in Britain today.
Even if the number is very small, even if there is only a single digit, it is still a very inspiring phenomenon.
Because compared to him lying on the ground in the castle, let him keep his life safe, and then wait for the right deeds to openly rebel and expose Voldemort's crimes, that is the biggest blow to the British Ministry of Magic.
Of course, before preparing to do these things, Dumbledore will definitely find a way to protect Cedric's family members who are still working in the Ministry of Magic.
After connecting with Jon in the secret passage, Cedric told him about some of the voices circulating in the castle today.
"The students all hated you, and the professors all claimed that you led the dragons to attack the Hogwarts castle, and wanted to burn the castle and the people into ruins. Most of them believed this, they They call you the little devil in private, saying you are a murderous executioner."
Jon couldn't help laughing when he heard the name "little devil".
He didn't know if it was taken out spontaneously among the students, or if Voldemort was behind it.
But Voldemort should know who the real devil is better than anyone else, and the title of such a little devil is assigned to his enemy, isn't it a bit too much?
Logically speaking, this title should belong to Draco himself who is now representing Hogwarts Castle in the competition.
"Did you find any professors missing from the school today?"
Jon is very interested in how many battles have been achieved after yesterday's attack.
Cedric obviously observed this question specially, and he replied without thinking.
"Almost all the professors I met today were injured, and I heard that some professors are still lying in the school hospital, and the situation is more serious. Then there is Professor Pierre from the Mixed Blood College. He should be dead. , but it seems that he was not killed by Longqun, there are rumors among the students that he was killed by Barty Crouch because of his cowardice."
"There is another Auror. I heard a seventh grader say that he was lying by the window last night and saw that an Auror was bitten to death by a fire dragon with two tusks. The blood flowed out. Most of the outer walls of the castle, when they got up in the morning, some people saw broken intestines that hadn’t been cleaned up on the grass.”
Two people died, which exceeded Jon's psychological expectations.
It wasn't that he had no confidence in the dragons, but that Voldemort came back too quickly.
But Voldemort himself is clearly aware that Hogwarts Castle cannot withstand such a severe loss of personnel. The death of these personnel in the castle will have little impact on his power. There are signs that Voldemort and the forces he leads are about to collapse.
It is fatal for such a thing to happen. This will cause the Ministry of Magic, which still had most of its positions to favor Voldemort at the previous warrior selection dinner, to start to re-examine the situation, seriously shaking Voldemort's goal of ruling the whole of Europe.
After learning about the situation at Hogwarts Castle from Cedric, Jon got down to business.
"I need to borrow the arrow you used to avoid the magic around the Forbidden Forest. We are planning to rescue the centaur from the Forbidden Forest. We want to use that arrow to study a way to safely enter the Forbidden Forest."
Hearing Jon's request, Cedric took off the stone arrowhead that had been hanging around his neck without any hesitation, and handed it to Jon.
"It was originally given to me by the horse people. Now if this can help them, it would be great."
Jon nodded solemnly. He didn't intend to delay Cedric too much time to prevent him from disappearing for too long, which would arouse the suspicion of others.
But before he was about to leave, Cedric still looked at Jon expectantly.
"Is there anything I can do for you in the castle?"
Jon turned his head seriously, looked at him and said.
"First of all, you must ensure your own safety, Cedric, this is your most important task now. During the recent period, you'd better not have any weird behavior, and don't enter the secret passage in private, Dark Demon The head will surely strengthen his men's grip on the castle, and he already has a certain uneasiness."
Even if Cedric is not the kind of reckless person, there are some things that Jon still needs to make clear to him.
He knows the tragic experience of this boy in the original book, so he really hopes that such an upright Hufflepuff can have a good ending.
After finishing this conversation, Jon left Hogwarts Castle. Instead of returning to the carriage, he entered Hogsmeade directly along this secret road, and then found Jin, who temporarily stayed in the Pig's Head Bar. Sly et al.
After Kingsley got the arrow, he found two wizards in the team who were well-versed in alchemy. After a few glances, they judged that it would not be difficult to reproduce the magic on it.
What cracked the warning spell was not any superb magic skills, but a disguise that was almost completely in line with nature. The centaur is uniquely gifted in this, and it is difficult for wizards to complete this kind of natural magic, but there are If you want to imitate the off-the-shelf, there will be no big problem.
It only takes one night at most to imitate and manufacture enough quantities, which means that tomorrow they can enter the Forbidden Forest to find the group of centaurs in Firenze.
Jon didn't leave the Pig's Head Bar tonight, and asked Aberforth to arrange a room for him right here.
To be honest, the environment of the Pig's Head Bar is indeed dirty and messy. Jon used his wand to use a lot of cleaning spells on the oil spots and stains with a look of disgust, before he felt that it was barely livable.
Nothing to say all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Kingsley and others who stayed in the Pig's Head Bar left Hogsmeade early under the cover of the dawn and sneaked into the Forbidden Forest.
I wish you all a happy new year, a prosperous Year of the Rabbit, and everything goes smoothly!
