Chapter 75 74. Unimpeded
After the darkness enveloped the entire Hogwarts castle, Jon lay quietly on the wooden bed.
The air is a bit stuffy, because there are no windows in the dormitory, and it is easy to get bored during the summer and autumn.
Jon didn't intend to go to sleep. He was listening carefully to the sound of footsteps fading away outside the door. It was the voice of the castle administrator Dolohov patrolling when the curfew started.
It has been a week since he came here, and Jon has basically figured out the habits of the castle administrator.
After the curfew started, he would start inspections from the basement upwards, and after inspections, he would return to his office to rest, unless he heard something that should not have happened in the middle of the night, he would not go out at all.
So after the sound of his footsteps completely disappeared, after waiting for about twenty minutes, Jon sat up from the bed.
Did not light the candle directly, but fumbled to get his robe with an inner pocket. After taking out the cloth bag he found in the morning, he also slowly drew out his wand.
The inner pocket on the clothes was specially made for him by Dumbledore, and a powerful non-marking stretching spell was cast on it. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary pocket, but in fact there is a lot of space inside.
Waving his wand lightly, he used the Transfiguration Charm on a quill in front of the bed to conjure a pair of scissors, and he put the wand away again.
Taking scissors in the dark, he cut the wick of the candle on the candlestick by two-thirds, ensuring that the flame would be small enough before Jon lit it again.
The lit fire was very weak, but it was enough to illuminate the area in front of him.
By taking advantage of this light, Jon opened the cloth bag he picked up from the wall today, and took out various potion ingredients one by one.
Lacewings, rough antimony, leeches with their mouthparts removed, sapweed picked at the full moon, powdered grass leaves, powdered bicorn horns, and most importantly strips of dried African tree snakeskin.
The compound decoction made from these materials is enough for Jon to use two bottles a day for a month. If there is more, the cloth bag that has also been cast with the No Trace Stretching Curse is not enough to hold it, but there is no way to do it after a long time. Guarantee the medicinal properties of the material.
The Untraceable Stretching Curse can only stretch space, but cannot freeze time. This is why Dumbledore didn't directly prepare Jon with a sufficient amount of Compound Potion for a school year before coming. If you haven't used it for a long time, boil it in advance The effect of the prepared compound decoction will also disappear, and Jon must be self-sufficient in Hogwarts Castle.
After checking that there were no problems with the delivered materials, Jon was about to put the things back into the cloth bag when he reached into the innermost part of the bag and suddenly touched something cold and liquid-like.
Jon was taken aback for a moment, and then he took out the light weight, as if it didn't exist at all.
This is a transparent cloak with a faint silver light. The first time he saw it, Jon subconsciously held his breath.
There is still a note on the cloak.
【After Lily knew you went there, she specially asked me to deliver it to you and keep it safe】
After reading the contents of the note, Jon immediately placed it directly above the candle and lit it. After watching the fire light bright for a few seconds, it went out again. He knew very well that it was delivered to him. What is this cloak of.
Invisibility Cloak!
If this invisibility cloak was originally in Lily's hands, then it is very likely to be one of the three Deathly Hallows inherited from the Potter family, and it belongs to the one in Harry Potter's hands in the original book!
After the deaths of Harry and James, the Potter family was basically guaranteed to be the last, so the invisibility cloak was naturally passed on to Lily.
Jon looked at the invisibility cloak in his hand, and his mood quickly calmed down from the excitement at the beginning.
This thing can be said to be a precious relic left behind after the death of her husband and son. It is definitely of profound significance to Lily, and now she has sent the invisibility cloak to Jon. There is definitely no chance of returning an invisibility cloak.
Jon can understand the meaning of this. During the previous year in the carriage, he can see that the only motivation for Lily to live is for revenge.
Vengeance on Voldemort, revenge on Snape, revenge on everyone involved in killing her husband and son.
Asking Dumbledore to send him this invisibility cloak is also to make it easier for him to move around Hogwarts Castle, so as to achieve the ultimate goal.
Perhaps there are some considerations for the safety of his student, but it is mainly for the uncontrollable hatred in his heart.
But regardless of whether she is wholeheartedly considering her own safety or not, Jon is grateful from the bottom of his heart for the invisibility cloak she sent.
With this thing, it will undoubtedly bring great convenience to his next actions!
Put everything back into the cloth bag except the invisibility cloak, and stuff the cloth bag back into the inner pocket of his robe. Jon put on the robe and blew out the candles.
With the invisibility cloak, the plan that he originally had to delay can now be slightly advanced.
After carefully listening to the door for more than a minute to make sure that there was no movement outside, Jon put on an invisibility cloak, completely concealed his figure, and gently pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom.
Outside was a dim corridor. The candlesticks mounted on the wall were beating faintly. Jon carefully drew out his wand, and then approached the iron door at the end of the corridor.
When the curfew begins and Dolokhov inspects the basement, he will lock the iron door, which is the same as a prison cell, from the outside, and will not come to open it until the next morning, without a wand, except for the professor to teach. Mudblood students who don't know any spells outside of class can't open this door even in seventh grade.
But for Jon, who has a magic wand and has experienced a year of orthodox magic education, this locked iron door is useless.
He slowly extended the front end of the wand out of the invisibility cloak, and tapped lightly on the door lock.
"Alaho Cave is open."
The faint sound of the unlocking spell sounded, and the closed iron door creaked, and Jon opened it from the inside.
He walked out of the basement, and then re-locked the door from the outside, before turning around and walking up the stairs.
The entire Hogwarts castle was silent except for the "whoosh" of the wind.
And on this night, a "Mudblood" who was bound in the past will be unhindered at this time.
