Chapter 460 458. Graduate nuns of Durmstrang
Jon and Hermione were extremely warmly received by the Delacour family.
Their trip went very smoothly, and they found Gabriel's parents and sisters without any twists and turns.
It was not until the lunch table that they had the opportunity to exchange information with each other.
After the Delacour family escaped from France in an emergency, they first settled down in Germany, and then they immediately thought about taking Gabriel over.
But at that time, Voldemort had completely occupied the whole of France, and the correctional center had already been set up. France was in great chaos, and the Delacour family had no chance to contact any of the relationships they had left in France.
At that time, Mrs. Maxime had already escaped from Beauxbatons. Even if they could get in touch with someone, there was no way to find the little daughter who had turned into a ghost and was entrusted to Hogwarts.
Later, because of the confrontation between Wu Pingxian and Voldemort, Germany also became unsafe, and fierce blood theory elements began to create chaos everywhere. In desperation, the Delacour family could only continue northward and came to Denmark. Haining.
They lived there for about half a year, that is, during that time, the entire Delacour family began to get in touch with Muggle living habits.
The deteriorating situation in the magic world has made them ready. If it really comes to such an inevitable point later, then their family would rather abandon their identity as a wizard and everything related to magic than become a Muggle. To be a pure blood slave.
Similarly, even at this time, the family did not give up the idea of finding Gabrielle. Mr. Delacour thought of countless ways to reconnect with his previous relationship in France, trying to Can I get some information.
However, that time was just before Wu Pingxian broke through the correctional center, during the most intense period of the war. Mr. Delacour's attempt not only failed to achieve any results, but also exposed the information that his family was hiding in Haining.
In desperation, they had no choice but to relocate for the second time. After this time, Mr. Delacour, the head of the family, finally made up his mind to keep his wife and eldest daughter safe first. He chose to believe With Madam Maxim's ability, she must be able to take good care of Gabriel.
Then they came to Aarhus, changed their surnames and settled down completely. Mr. Delacour finally used magic to create a false identity for their family in Muggle society, and then used the wands of all the family members All sealed up.
They have begun to understand and get used to the daily life of Muggles. Even if they were harassed in the past few months, they still call the police to solve the problem.
And under such circumstances, Jon and Hermione brought Gabriel to the door together.
Regarding what happened in the magic world in the past two years, Jon also made a statement to the Delacour family.
From the battle to capture the correctional center not long after their family completely cut off contact with the magic world, to the Triwizard Tournament in which only Paris and Beauxbatons were left in France, and finally until now The Horizon has completely recovered all of France.
It is only now that the Delacour family knows what happened there when they were completely hopeless about the magic world.
Gabriel's father was very ashamed of this.
He confessed to Jon that he was incompetent. When he encountered such a situation, he could only choose to escape instead of uniting with the people around him to resist.
Jon comforted him at the time when the Wuping Line had not yet been established, and fleeing was the most correct choice.
If they really chose to resist at that time, then the Delacour family would definitely not be able to make waves at all, and the whole family would disappear directly from the world.
The French wizards really formed the confidence to fight against Voldemort, the key is actually Dumbledore.
Only with top-notch combat power capable of confronting Voldemort himself, can Wu Pingxian be qualified to challenge the British and French magical governments at that time.
Jon certainly didn't add himself to the big events he told.
But even if he didn't say it, Gabriel, who had wiped away her tears, couldn't sit still at all, and told her parents and sister all about her experiences with Jon when she became a ghost.
To be reasonable, Gabriel's experience is much more exciting than most Hogwarts students.
When she was still in ghost form, she followed Jon to the North Pole, and that trip can be said to have gone deep into the tiger's den.
It was from her mouth that the Delacours knew that this young man who looked harmless in appearance was not as peaceful as he appeared on the outside.
After chatting about everything, they had a sumptuous lunch in De La Culga, and of course their family will move back to France.
It's just that there is no need to be so urgent in action. They have lived here for a year, and there are still some things to be cleaned up. It is impossible for people to disappear directly. The interpersonal relationship in Muggle society also needs to be taken care of, so there is no rush I will leave that day.
After Jon and Hermione took Gabriel to find her family, they were not in a hurry to go back.
It was already summer vacation, and they had never been to Denmark before. Under the kind invitation of Delacour's family, it is really no problem to stay here for a few days.
So after confirming that he wanted to stay for two days, Jon first wrote a letter to Dumbledore, telling him that the trip was going well, and asking him to help tell Mrs. Maxime about it can be relieved.
As the second largest city in Denmark, Aarhus is also a port city and there are indeed many places worth visiting.
The old buildings here are basically Gothic style, the most famous of which is St. Clemens Cathedral in the city center. A major revision was made, and it became a Gothic architectural style. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was repaired and a spire was added.
Gabriel's sister Fleur was the guide who went out in the afternoon. It seemed that she hadn't seen her sister for a long time. She had countless things to talk about, so she led Gabriel in front, while Jon and Hermione followed her. behind them.
“My mother is religious, and I prayed with her before dinner when I was in primary school. But after I was taken to Hogwarts Castle, I stopped believing.”
Hermione looked up at the church full of signs of time.
"Maybe there really is a **** in this world, but there is a high probability that it is not an omnipotent God, but an extremely powerful wizard discovered by Muggles."
Jon also said.
"Besides, whether you believe in religion or not is not based on whether wizards have extraordinary abilities that Muggles don't have, but whether an individual has a materialistic worldview that believes that matter determines consciousness. The magic we use obviously breaks this There is a certain law that magic allows the will to change matter, which makes it easier for wizards than Muggles to believe that there is an all-knowing and omnipotent God in this world who can rely on consciousness to control the world."
Hermione saw the cross directly in front of the church.
"Maybe it's because the laws of magic have not been found? Magic power is unconscious, so it is also a kind of substance. Is it possible that wizards' so-called relying on will to influence the world is just like Muggles mastering the use of tools?" The method is the same, but artificially using substances to change another substance?”
"I seem to have read somewhere that someone has studied this issue." Jon pondered.
Before he could come up with an answer, Hermione had already revealed the source of this conjecture.
"It's in Durmstrang's library. Some of the notes are about raising various hypotheses like this. This is obviously not a question that a pure wizard can ask."
After hearing her talk about Durmstrang's library, Jon's face showed surprise.
Then this is not surprising.
It is not surprising that there is some strange knowledge in Durmstrang, especially since Jon has learned some inside information about what Grindelwald is doing.
"It's enough for us to talk about it, but don't let other people say it. If any paranoid wizard hears it, there will probably be trouble."
Their conversation was not loud, but because Fleur and Gabriel had been walking in front of them, they could vaguely hear some content.
But obviously, even if she has been in contact with the Muggle society for a while, it is impossible for Fleur to understand these things. She just looked down at Gabriel with a strange expression and asked in a low voice.
"Are they in love? This kind of communication between couples is really strange."
"no!"
Gabriel answered loudly and affirmatively, but it was more like a kind of anger.
When Furong was still wondering why she reacted so violently, an unexpected voice suddenly broke into their chat.
"Professor Green?"
The four of them were stunned by this sudden address, and Jon was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that the address was calling him.
He turned his head to look at the source of the sound. A girl dressed as a nun who had just walked out of the church waved at him with wide-eyed eyes.
"Who are you?"
The nun turned her head and whispered a few words to an old nun next to her, and then the old lady who looked about seventy or eighty years old took a deep look at Jon, then turned and left.
The nun who had obtained permission trotted happily to Jon's side.
"Helene Rozier, professor, you probably don't have much impression of me, but you should remember my cousin Daisy, right? I'm only two months younger than her."
Hearing her self-introduction, plus the title of professor, Jon can be sure that this is a student of Durmstrang.
Or should I say a former student.
She is only two months younger than Daisy, which means they are at the same level, and now Daisy should be a graduate after the semester of the Triwizard Tournament is over, and this girl named Helene should also so it is.
It’s just that Durmstrang’s students come to the Danish church as nuns after graduation?
Although Jon is nominally Durmstrang's professor, he really doesn't know much about the employment options after graduation from this magic school.
Is there such a wide choice?
"I feel like you from a long distance, but I don't dare to admit it. The last time I saw you was the night when the Triwizard Tournament ended. I remember that you changed because of some magical age. It’s right to be young, I didn’t expect to change back so quickly.”
Heileen is obviously a very enthusiastic girl. She grabbed Jon's arm without any notice, and began to talk to herself.
Jon pulled his arm out of the arms of this young girl who looked like a newly promoted nun, with sharp eyesight.
It was only at this time that Hai Lin seemed to notice the other people around her.
The little girl who was staring at her angrily didn't look unfamiliar. Gabriel used to run around as a ghost when she was in Durmstrang. Many Durmstrang students get to know her.
As for Hermione, who seemed to have the same expression on her face and was still smiling, but her eyes narrowed slightly, she was even more familiar.
As one of the students who followed Vida Rozier to Hogwarts Castle to watch the game this year, she certainly knew that this girl with long chestnut hair and a peaked cap was Jon's dance partner at last year's ball.
Only Fleur she hadn’t seen before, but just based on her enlarged version of Gabriel’s face, she could guess the relationship between the two with a little brainstorming.
"Professor, are you traveling?"
Heileen waved at Gabriel, Hermione, Fleur and the three of them, and asked with an ambiguous smile.
It can be seen that this Rozier is obviously not as serious as her sister Daisy, and she must be thinking about something impolite, so Jon patted her on the head politely.
"It's here to bring Gabriel to her family. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking about. You think it's all right after you come out of Durmstrang, right?"
It is also rare for Jon to use his status as a professor to teach someone a lesson. The main reason is that Durmstrang's students are almost followers of Grindelwald. They have basically agreed with Jon's status as Professor Jon, especially in the top three. After the Tournament.
