The Real Hogwarts Chapter 80 Halloween Eve
Near noon, when the Quidditch field was cleaned and the Mudblood students were preparing to return to the castle, Jon left the second-year team halfway and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.
He climbed out of the bathroom window in the same way as he had done before to get the potion ingredients, and came to a remote location near the wall. He then hid a piece of paper with a phoenix feather emblem on it where the potion ingredients were originally placed.
After doing all this, Jon returned to the bathroom and then rejoined the Mudblood team. During this time, no one noticed whether he went to the bathroom to use the toilet.
When October comes, not only does the Quidditch game officially begin, it also means that the time for Halloween dinner is getting closer.
There are only a few days at Hogwarts where all the pure-blood and half-blood students can get together to celebrate: the start-of-term dinner, Halloween dinner, Christmas dinner and the leaving dinner.
The students in the castle were quite enthusiastic about the first festive dinner after the start of school.
This enthusiasm was not only shared by the half-blood and pure-blood students. Even Jon could feel that the Mudblood students around him seemed to be looking forward to this festival.
However, their expectation was obviously not about fantasizing about a big meal or getting some kind of candy. They didn't dare to think about such things even in their dreams.
They were expecting something that Jon didn't know about, and this expectation was only spreading among the second-year students. He didn't find anything unusual in other grades.
This was both reasonable and unexpected for Jon.
Before arriving at 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 submissive to oppression without any resistance.
He has lived here for nearly two months and has learned a lot about some of the things that happened last semester.
Basically, it was the senior students among the Mudbloods who privately organized and led the junior Mudbloods, teaching them the true meaning of the insulting name Mudblood, and telling them that children who came from Muggle families were no less inferior than half-bloods and pure-bloods, and that in the magical world not long ago, everyone was an equal wizard regardless of their background.
Apart from this, there was nothing more they could do but tell the young children things that were completely contrary to the History of Magic and Ideology classes they had learned during the day.
Then, at an assembly near the end of the semester, they were caught after all.
The castle warden Dolohov personally fed the leading students truth serum, forcing them to tell what they had done. Later, the matter was even reported to Voldemort, who was basically not in Hogwarts Castle.
Afterwards, the Ministry of Magic sent a man, a wizard who was proficient in the Forgetfulness Spell.
All the Mudblood students who participated in the rally except the first graders had their related memories erased, and the original memories of the senior students who led the rally were modified. The wizard wove a perfect set of memories for them to replace them.
Then, in front of all the pure-blood, half-blood, and mudblood students in the school, Dolohov whipped the leading students until they were only left with one breath, but he also asked them to express their gratitude for the school's "education" from the bottom of their hearts.
This is why, on the night Jon first arrived at Hogwarts Castle, he saw the student named "Tyler" hung up, and his face looked so strange, like an emotionless doll, in response to Dolohov's beating and insults.
He was one of the senior students who led these rallies, and the one whose memory was most thoroughly modified.
The only ones who were not affected by this memory erasure were the first-year students at the time.
They are only 11 years old. It is not suitable for large-scale memory erasure at such a young age. The human brain is the most sensitive, even in the magical world.
In addition, they were only first-year students and had just arrived at the castle for less than a year. The professors at Hogwarts believed that these students had not been influenced by "abnormal" values for too long and had six years to correct them. Moreover, the fate of a role model like Taylor was enough to intimidate them, so they only gave them verbal education.
But judging from the current situation, these Mudbloods who have now entered the second grade did not seem to be frightened. In the first month of school, they were indeed very obedient. But after entering October, others could not notice it, but Jon, who was a second-year student himself, felt a clear change.
Jon was a little surprised that these kids, who were only 12 years old this year, dared to do some small things in private after what . But if you think about it carefully, if Hermione is there and takes the lead, then nothing will be surprising.
The last day of October is Halloween Eve.
After the afternoon classes, the pure-blood and half-blood students were completely liberated. The auditorium was decorated with pumpkin lanterns, flying bats, and walking skeletons .
The little wizards all put on pure black cloaks, pointed wizard hats, and ran around the castle carrying pumpkin lanterns. Whenever they met a professor, they would ask for candy from that professor.
During such festivals, even the usually stern-faced Vice-Principal Snape would take a handful of candy from his pocket and put it in the student's hand when he saw a student hesitating about whether to ask for help from him.
But all this excitement and beauty has nothing to do with the Mudblood students.
After having a normal dinner under Dolokhov's supervision, they were all locked in the dormitory in the basement.
On a festival like this, the appearance of the Mudbloods would only spoil the mood of the teachers and students. The only good thing was that there was no work for them to do tonight, and they just had to stay in the dormitory obediently.
The two class leaders in charge of patrolling and monitoring also returned to their dormitories after eight o'clock. No one wanted to be standing in the corridor blowing in the cold wind so late.
Tonight was actually the second time that Jon had to go get the potion ingredients, but he did not do anything rash in the dormitory. He had a hunch that something different would happen on a night like this.
Sure enough, at about nine o'clock, when the dinner should be going on in the auditorium upstairs, there was a gentle knock on Jon's dormitory door.
