Chapter 81 80. Halloween Eve
It was approaching noon, after the Quidditch field was cleaned, and when the Mudblood students were about to return to the castle, Jon left the second-year team halfway, saying that he needed to go to the bathroom.
He flipped out of the bathroom window in the same way as when he went to get the potion ingredients before, and came to the remote place near the wall, and then hid a piece of paper with a phoenix feather emblem on it where it was originally placed. A place for potion ingredients.
After doing all this, Jon returned to the bathroom, and then returned to the Mudblood team. During this period, no one noticed whether he went to the bathroom to go to the bathroom or not.
In October, not only the Quidditch competition has officially started, but it also means that the time for the Halloween dinner is getting closer.
There are only a few days at Hogwarts when all the pure-blood and half-blood students get together to celebrate. The opening dinner, Halloween dinner, Christmas dinner and school leaving dinner.
For the first holiday dinner after school, the students in the castle are still quite enthusiastic.
This enthusiasm is not only limited to mixed-race and pure-blood students, even Jon can feel that the Mudblood students around him seem to be looking forward to the day of the festival.
It's just that their expectations are obviously not fantasizing about some big meal, or what kind of candy they can get. Even if such a thing is in a dream, they dare not think about it.
They were expecting something that Jon didn't know, and this expectation was only spread among the second-year students. He didn't find anything abnormal in other grades.
This is both reasonable and unexpected to Jon.
Before he came to the castle, he had already learned from the conversation between Malfoy and his son in Diagon Alley that the Mudbloods in Hogwarts Castle were not completely oppressed by resignation and did not make any resistance.
He has been living here for nearly two months, and he has learned a lot about some things that happened last semester.
Roughly, those students in the upper and middle grades of the Mudbloods organized and led the lower grades in private, taught them the true meaning of the insulting title of Mudbloods, and told them that children from pure Muggle families are no less than mixed-blood and pure-blooded. Blood is low, and in the wizarding world not so long ago, everyone was an equal wizard regardless of their origin.
In addition, they have no way to do more, they can only tell the young children about these things that are completely contrary to the magic history and thought lessons they take during the day.
Then, at an assembly near the end of the term, they were caught after all.
The castle administrator Dolohov personally fed the leading students with Veritaserum, forcing them to tell what they had done, and then this matter was even reported to Voldemort, who was basically not in Hogwarts castle.
Afterwards, the Ministry of Magic sent a man, a wizard proficient in the Oblivion Curse.
All the Mudblood students who participated in this gathering except the first grade had all their related memories erased, and the original memories of the leading senior students were also modified, and the wizard wove them a Set of flawless memories to replace it.
This is why Jon saw the student named "Taylor" hanged up the night he first came to Hogwarts Castle, and his face was so weird as to Dolohov's beating and insulting. Same reason as a doll without emotion.
He was one of the seniors who led these assemblies, and the one whose memory was most thoroughly modified.
Only the students who were still in the first grade at that time were not affected by this amnesiac.
They are only 11 years old, such a young age is not suitable for large-scale erasure of memory, the human brain is the most sensitive, even in the magic world.
In addition, they are only in the first grade, and they have just come to this castle for less than a year. The professors in Hogwarts think that these students have not been influenced by "abnormal" values for too long, and there will be more in the future. It can be corrected in six years, and the end of a role model like Taylor is enough to intimidate them, so they are only educated verbally.
But judging from the current situation, these mudbloods who have already entered the second grade don't seem to be intimidated like this. They were indeed extremely obedient in the first month of school, but after entering October, Others couldn't feel it, but Jon, who was a second-year student himself, felt the obvious change.
Jon was a little surprised that these children, who are only 12 years old this year, dared to do some small things in private after going through the things of last semester, but think about it carefully, if Hermione is here and takes the lead, what kind of Things are not surprising.
The last day of October, which is Halloween.
After the afternoon class, the pure-blood and mixed-race students were completely liberated. Pumpkin lanterns, bats flying around, and skeletons walking around were already arranged in the auditorium.
The little wizards all put on pure black cloaks and pointed wizard hats and ran around the castle with jack-o-lanterns, reaching out to any professor they met for candy.
On such a festival, even Snape, the vice-principal who usually has a cold face, would grab a handful of candies from his pocket and put them down when he saw students he was hesitant about reaching out to him. in the hands of the student.
It's just that all the excitement and beauty has nothing to do with the mudblood students.
They were all locked in the basement bedroom after finishing an ordinary dinner under Dolokhov's guard.
On such a festival, the appearance of Mudbloods will only spoil the interest of teachers and students. The only good thing is that there is no work for them to do tonight, and they just need to stay in the dormitory obediently.
The two prefects who were in charge of patrolling and monitoring also returned to their dormitories after eight o'clock. No one wanted to blow cold wind in the corridor after such a late hour.
Tonight was actually the second time for Jon to get potion materials, but he didn't act rashly in the dormitory. He had a hunch that something different would happen on such a night.
Sure enough, at about nine o'clock, when the dinner party in the auditorium above should be lively, there was a light knock on the door of Jon's bedroom.
The three chapters promised yesterday must be finished, and there is another chapter around one o'clock in the morning.
