Chapter 405 403. The third project
Grindelwald seemed to just say it casually, and didn't mean to entangle Jon too much about it.
Similarly, he answered Jon's question very straightforwardly.
"True prophecy can't see such detailed things." He didn't move his eyes from the experimental data in his hand, "What's more, the magic you are mastering has never appeared in history before. There will be no trace of fate left behind, or even if it is left, it will be difficult to see clearly, at most it is just some vague appearance."
Jon still asked persistently.
"Then what do you see in me, sir?"
Hearing his questioning like this, Grindelwald put down the parchment in his hand, looked up and looked at Jon's golden eyes that couldn't be concealed at all.
"die."
Jon was stunned.
"What?"
"Death." Grindelwald repeated his words again, and at the same time picked up the newspaper again, and said in a calm voice, "From the first time I saw you, I felt that you are entangled The breath of death is very heavy, much heavier than when you left me last time."
Jon was not frightened, he just touched his chin and thought.
"Could it be thestrals?"
"I didn't say that you want to connect this with the Animagus magical animal you will become. This is just a prophecy for you personally. I suggest that you should be as careful as possible no matter what you do recently, otherwise The next time we meet again, I don't want to see you in a coffin."
Grindelwald's words were still so sharp and mean, but Jon didn't care. He knew very well that this was actually the old man's unique concern.
"Don't worry, sir, even without your reminder, I know that the last project of the Triwizard Tournament is about to start. If the Dark Lord has any big plans, then he probably will start at this time. I will be careful of."
"Since you know it yourself, what are you still doing here?" Grindelwald got up from his chair and threw the finished research report into the burning fire. Now, hurry up and get out."
Originally, he wanted to chat with Grindelwald, and asked him how his life was like recently, whether he was eating and sleeping normally, and Jon couldn't help curling his lips. This old man is like this. When he came, he said he didn't know how to be considerate. Old man, let him go when he was ready to be considerate.
But of course Jon will not be dissatisfied with this. He got up and said one last sentence, "Then you pay attention to your health recently", and then left from the principal's office.
In the end, only Grindelwald was left looking at the jumping fire, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.
If Jon is still here now, if you look into his gaze, you will find that the scene reflected in the old man's eyes at this time is exactly the same as the scene when he met his gaze just now.
In the end, Jon didn't figure out what his Animagus was.
But generally speaking, after this time, his body is developing in a good direction.
The changes in physical fitness stopped on the second day. Jon concealed his identity and went to a gym in the downtown area of Lyon to do a test with professional equipment. It has reached the point where it can stand shoulder to shoulder with some professional athletes.
It doesn't sound like an exaggeration, but you must know that Jon has never had systematic training, and his body has not grown any obvious muscles or has grown much stronger. It is still the same as before.
In the final analysis, such a change is still very effective. Even if wizards in the magic world basically do not encounter close-to-hand combat, the characteristic of Jon's own ring that casts spells immediately stops, once there is a magic wave. However, it also provides him with the possibility of forcing the two sides to fight in close combat.
Now his physical fitness has improved, and most of the wizards in the magic world, especially the dark wizards, are all dead houses who basically stay at home. If it comes to the situation of close combat, then his chances of winning will be even higher up.
Not only that, better physical fitness will also make his casting speed, reaction and movement of avoiding spells much stronger, which means that he has improved in all aspects.
Then there is a change in appearance.
To be honest, this troubled Jon a lot. He recently discovered that it wasn’t just his skin that had changed. The new magic power even changed his temperament.
According to the information that Jon asked Hermione to inquire among the girls privately, many little girls are secretly saying that just looking at Jon recently gives people a very warm feeling, just like spring flowers blooming, if If Jon smiled again, it would melt people's hearts.
This description left Jon speechless, and he specifically asked Hermione if he felt the same way, but Hermione didn't speak, but just looked at him and said nothing.
Well, even without speaking, Jon can already come up with the answer.
There seems to be a different kind of charm on him, a bit similar to the effect of Veela, but it is obviously not that rude, it is just an invisible change, and it is only for the opposite sex, like Naviron and they all feel Jon is the same as before, except that those eyes are very cool.
In order to verify the charm effect, or the scope of the affinity, he went to Gabriel, who was playing with the ghosts who came to the school these days, to verify it.
Although Gabriel kept shaking her head and said that she felt that Jon was the same as before, Jon still felt abnormal from her flushed cheeks and her heavy breathing.
Even ghosts can be affected?
Jon didn't dare to continue trying any more. He began to concentrate on studying how to hide his conspicuous eyes.
At the beginning, he went to the urban area of Lyon to buy a pair of colored contact lenses, but before he wanted to put them on his eyes, the pair of colored contact lenses were burned to ashes, and the dust was blown into his eyes, causing Jon to cry on the spot It's a pity that there is only Neville next to him. If Hermione is here, I can let her help me blow it up.
At this time, he realized that the pair of golden eyes not only looked like fire on the surface, but also showed the characteristics of flames.
Color contact lenses are useless, and Jon has no way to finely control the metamorphosis to the point where only the eyes change.
There is no other way, he can only squint his eyes as much as possible, so as not to make those pale golden eyes too conspicuous, but it is precisely this kind of squinting, I heard that he is more like a central air conditioner to the girls A heart-warming sunny boy.
It is even more weird to wear a hat all day in school, otherwise Jon would not have taken off the hood on his robe.
Fortunately, life passed quickly, Jon was not kept waiting long, and the final match of the Triwizard Tournament was getting closer and closer.
Snape officially got the news three days before the start of the last project.
He rejected Matthew immediately, but Matthew just said that he was not seeking Snape's opinion, but that they could not contact Voldemort now, so he asked him to tell the matter.
"Even if I tell you, the master can't possibly agree. I don't think it would be a waste of effort, Mr. Graves." Snape said with a cold face. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with Matthew's mind. He made such a request.
Matthew just smiled mysteriously, and then said to Snape.
"Yes or no, just ask that gentleman for his opinion. If he punishes you, you can put the blame on me. Since I dare to make this request to you, it means that I am It's estimated."
Snape fell silent.
Of course he doesn't think Matthew is a fool, but since he is not a fool, he can say such absurd words, of course there is evidence.
But the key question now is that he can't contact Voldemort at all, so how to verify this?
The truth must not be told to Matthew, Snape could only hold him back first, and then found Crouch.
After hearing Snape's retelling, Crouch's expression darkened immediately.
"Who gave them the guts!"
"That's the problem, a request that a normal person can't even think about, but he just told me like this, what made him think that the master would agree?"
Snape's question silenced Crouch.
He seemed to restrain the anger in his heart, and paced back and forth in his office.
"If we give an incorrect answer to this matter, it will very likely expose our loss of contact with the master."
Of course Snape knew about such things, he looked at Crouch.
"We need to think from the beginning. First of all, the host proposed to hold this competition. The first and second projects have nothing to do with Graves and the others, but the third project was organized by the three of them. But What the project will be compared to has been determined long before the start of the competition.”
Crouch stopped walking, he picked up Snape's words.
"And in the first project, since we have a way to send the problematic golden snitch into the Forbidden Forest and let Jon Green get it, on behalf of the three federations who mainly host this Triwizard Tournament Among the referees, there are people who submit to the master. This means that the master already knows all the content of the three events before the game has even started, and that person will tell what he has learned."
Snape said calmly.
"And there is also the matter of the principal's office being invaded. We all know that we want to really protect that office. In fact, the master has many ways, even the simplest house elf can handle it, but he didn't use it. At the same time, the person disappeared. Does this mean that he actually didn't care about such a thing from the beginning to the end?"
Crouch looked closely at Snape.
"You have to think about it, if we guess wrong about the master's idea, what will be the consequences of this incident?"
"That's why I came to you." Snape said blankly, "The risks and responsibilities need to be shared by us."
Such blunt words made Crouch look a little annoyed. Of course he knew what Snape was thinking, and he was not afraid of taking responsibility, but worried that if he made a wrong choice, it would destroy the plan of his god-like master. .
Finally Crouch sat back in his chair, and he spoke.
"Go reply to Graves and say we agree."
Jon and the others spent the night in the carriage, and they were ready early the next morning.
When leaving the carriage, Dumbledore took out the things that Barrow got from Baron's side and had been prepared for a long time according to Slytherin's suggestion.
"There are two copies in total, you keep one and I keep the other, it depends on who of us is unlucky to meet." Dumbledore said softly.
Jon put the thing into the interlayer of the inner pocket of the robe, where special magic was applied to hide the alchemy props with magical properties.
"I still hope that I won't meet you." Jon muttered, and then walked out of the car with Dumbledore, "Professor, be careful, I don't want to wait until after my game is over to show up and find you lying on the hospital bed up."
Dumbledore blinked.
"Maybe when you come back, you will find that I have become a tombstone?"
"This joke is not funny at all."
After approaching Matthew and his group, the two stopped talking. It was at this time that they realized that there were many students gathered at the location of the Quidditch pitch in front of the castle.
Jon only felt that there were only a lot more spectators than the previous game, which made him frown.
According to his estimation, there should be no spectators for this game, or even if it is arranged, those who do not participate in the game will not be able to see anything. Judging from the current situation, it is not the same as what he thought. no the same.
When Jon and Diane came over, Emil and Draco were also brought over by Snape. The four warriors who participated in the competition were all present. It was only at this time that Matthew was ready to announce the details of the last project. rule.
"I was actually quite honored when I accepted the referee appointment for this game." Matthew's voice spread throughout the stadium, "This is not just a grand event restarted after hundreds of years, but also about The advantages and disadvantages of the two ideas and the two systems have been identified. Now, we have successfully carried out the last project, and hope that no matter what the final result is, this competition can be successfully concluded.”
"And the venue for this last event is not in this stadium."
He faced Jon and the four of them, with a smile on his face, and pointed to the majestic Hogwarts Castle with his finger.
"The next thing you are facing is the castle itself that you are fighting for!"
