Chapter 7 7. Freshmen
"Why must it be a sad thing to be separated from your family? Thinking about it from another angle, maybe it might be a good thing to be free." The boy with a few freckles on his face and a bright red hair casually said explain.
"I'm not separated from my family!" The dark-haired boy with red eyes, who had obviously just cried, screamed, "They all forgot about me! They forgot that I was their son!"
Tears flowed from his eyes again.
“Obviously my father and mother celebrated with me yesterday that I got the admission letter from Eton College, but today they finally looked at me as if they were looking at a stranger.”
The boy with a round face, blond hair, and a firm gaze different from other children, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"There is no way to do this, Justin, Professor McGonagall is not only doing this to protect you but also to protect your parents. If those people know that they have a son who can use magic like you, maybe the future They will also be at risk."
He obviously wanted to show that he was much more mature than the other children, so the comforting words made the boy named Justin stop crying, and he looked at the blond boy helplessly.
"Then will I have a chance to meet my parents again in the future?"
The blond boy was silent, obviously he knew that the possibility was very low.
"Yes! Justin!"
The only girl present said firmly and loudly.
"My parents have always told me that justice can definitely defeat evil! Wait until the day when Professor Dumbledore leads us to regain our equal status! You will be able to reunite with your parents!"
Jon has been listening to the conversation between the four children without saying a word since he was sent to this room by Professor McGonagall.
Just relying on the information in his appearance and words, he has initially recognized two of them.
The red-haired boy who spoke at the beginning had obvious features. Only the Weasleys had such bright red hair in the wizarding world.
This boy is naturally Ron Weasley, the youngest son of the Weasley family in the original protagonist group.
Since he will appear here, it means that the position of the Weasley family is still the same as in the original book, willing to be a "blood traitor", would rather betray their own class, and support Dumbledore for the justice in their hearts .
And the crying, black-haired boy called Justin was the Hufflepuff student who appeared in the original book and was petrified by the basilisk in the second part—Justin Fenriely.
Like Jon, he is also a Muggle student whose parents are Muggle-born.
As for the other blond boy and the girl
Just as Jon turned his gaze to Neville, Neville also turned his head to look at him.
Neville held out his hand with a smile on his face.
"Hello, my name is Neville Longbottom, and I'm also a freshman at Hogwarts this year. I'm sorry, Justin was in a bad mood just now, and we are comforting him."
Jon paused for a moment, but calmly reached out his hand and shook Neville.
"It's okay, my name is Jon Green, just call me Jon."
"This is Justin Finchley, this is Ron Weasley, and Lavender Brown. There should be only five of us as freshmen at Hogwarts this year."
While Neville and Jon were introducing, Ron and the others also greeted Jon, and even Justin, who was still depressed, said to him, "Nice to meet you."
Jon nodded.
"She brought me here."
"Then it seems that they didn't **** many students from another Hogwarts this year." Ron shrugged and said, "Professor McGonagall brought Justin this afternoon, and they only brought back You two."
Jon looked at Ron. Although he could guess the reason, he still asked curiously.
"What about the three of you?"
"Neville's family and I are members of the Order of the Phoenix and have always followed Dumbledore." Ron said carelessly, "According to the Ministry of Magic outside, both of our families are wanted criminals. Destined to come to this Hogwarts school when I was 11 years old. Because there is no other magic school that can accept us."
"My father insisted on sending me here." Lavender said proudly, "He firmly believed that I could only get the best education here, so he even gave up his home in England with his mother. Ye, fled to Iceland!"
Jon also has some impressions of the name Lavender in his mind.
In the original book, she seems to be Ron's first love girlfriend, but unfortunately, there is no happy ending in the end, and she died in the mouth of the werewolf Fenrir in the final battle.
As for her bloodline, there is no way to know this, but from her tone, at least her father was a wizard.
Jon immediately felt that the group of four freshmen who enrolled with him was quite interesting.
He and Justin are Muggle students brought back from outside by the professor, Ron and Neville are both pure blooded, and Lavender is likely to be a mixed blood.
Although there are only five freshmen here, they bring together all levels of the magic world.
And Justin also clearly noticed that Jon was the one who had the most similar experience to him, he blinked and asked.
"Are you also the one whose parents' memory was erased and then brought here?"
Jon can understand that he wants to find someone who is in the same situation as himself in this strange place. This can be regarded as psychological comfort to some extent, but it is a pity that their situation is different.
"I was brought out of the orphanage by Professor Potter. I have no parents since I was a child, so I don't feel very sad."
Justin looked at him with a pitiful gaze.
After all, he still had a family member who lost it today, and Jon has never had one since he was a child, which is obviously worse than him.
"Looking at it this way, there's nothing wrong with being an orphan, at least I won't be sad at this time"
Before Ron could finish speaking, Neville slapped him on the back, interrupting his speech, and looked at Jon apologetically.
"Sorry, Jon, he always speaks like this without paying attention. Ron didn't mean to mock you."
After being reminded by Neville, Ron realized that what he said without thinking was very ambiguous at this time, and immediately apologized with an embarrassed smile.
"Sorry, Jon, I didn't mean that."
Of course, Jon didn't pay much attention to this matter. He shook his head with a smile and said "It's okay."
It was just that when they were chatting, Jon did not attract any attention from others, and took a deep look at Neville.
The polite, generous, careful, and gentle boy in front of him is completely different from the cowardly Gryffindor in the original book.
