The Real Hogwarts Chapter 86 Carlo
That night, Aberforth explained many spells to Jon, almost all of which he could use to deal with the basilisk.
Jon listened carefully. After arriving at Hogwarts Castle, he had wasted a year of study time. Now that he had the opportunity to be taught by an experienced wizard like Aberforth, he certainly would not let it go.
Of course, one night was not enough for him to learn several spells, but Aberforth had already taught him the correct pronunciation and wand gestures of several necessary spells, and he could practice them in the castle whenever he had time.
Now that John has found the secret passage and can leave the castle without being noticed, the next place to brew the Polyjuice Potion can naturally be placed in the Hog's Head Inn. Although the Room of Requirement is secret enough, Voldemort knows its location after all. Who knows if one day, when John comes out of that room, he will happen to meet the Dark Lord waiting for him outside the door?
Before leaving the Hog's Head, Aberforth gave Jon a final serious warning.
"You must be careful when entering and exiting the secret passage in the future. Also, remember not to take Muggle students from your college out of the school."
Jon asked with a frown in confusion.
"Why is that?"
"The enrollment contract on you is a fake spell cast by Albus, so it cannot be restricted. But those students are different. They are bound by real enrollment contracts. Once they leave the school without permission, they will be discovered by the people in the school. Then we will all be exposed."
Jon was silent for a moment after hearing what Aberforth said, before he looked up into the old man's eyes and asked.
"Once the enrollment contract is signed, can it not be untied?"
Aberforth shook his head.
"Even a nearly unbreakable contract like the blood oath can be broken. In fact, there is no unbreakable contract in the wizarding world. But you and I don't know much about this kind of magic to break the contract. If you want to break the contract of those students, you need to take them away from the castle. As long as any of them walk out of the school, they will definitely attract the attention of the entire castle's faculty and staff, and even those in the Ministry of Magic. This situation is almost unsolvable."
Jon nodded silently.
He did not dwell on this matter with Aberforth for long. Their main goal now was to enter the headmaster's office without attracting attention.
After saying goodbye to Aberforth and agreeing on the next time to visit the bar, Jon returned to Hogwarts Castle along the same route.
…
The day after the Halloween dinner, which was Halloween, was a day off for students to relax, and the mudbloods were assigned to clear the weeds on the large lawn between the Black Lake and the castle.
After November, time slowly moved towards the cold winter. The temperature in the UK has become increasingly cold recently, but the only way for the Mudbloods to keep warm is the relatively thick robe on their bodies.
Jon squinted his eyes and yawned secretly. He was in the period of growing up. After returning to the dormitory last night, he only slept for three hours. Now he had to get up early in the morning to work. It would be strange if he was in good spirits.
But his hands did not stop moving. Two lackeys under Dolokhov, the male and female Mudblood prefects, were walking among the working students. If they found anyone slacking off, they would drag them to their "master" without hesitation.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
A girl's voice sounded in Jon's ears.
Without even looking up, Jon made up an excuse in his mind and said to Hermione.
"It was a little too cold. I woke up a few times at night because of the cold. I didn't sleep well."
"If you feel cold, you can cover your summer and winter robes over the quilt. If you really can't stand the cold, go to Dolokhov and tell him that our lives still have some value. They won't let us freeze to death like this."
At this time, Jon turned his head to look and saw Hermione, who was also clearing the weeds in the grass without raising her head. From the perspective of others, it seemed that Hermione was working hard.
" It's okay , I'm not that cold yet."
Just when Jon was about to end the conversation and didn't want to talk to the little girl any more for fear of revealing any flaws, a wizard who looked like he had just walked out of a greenhouse, wearing a black robe, with a face full of stubble and a sinister look in his eyes, walked towards the castle gate.
As he passed by the Mudblood students working on the lawn, his face showed obvious disgust and aversion, and he cursed something as he walked quickly to Dolohov.
"Professor Carrow is here. Be careful and don't let him target you, otherwise you will be in big trouble." Hermione reminded in a low voice.
Jon nodded calmly and continued to clear the weeds in front of him, but in fact, he was staring at "Professor Carlo" who was talking to Dolohov about something.
The full name of this wizard is "Amycus Carrow". He was born into the oldest 28 pure-blood families and was also one of Voldemort's most staunch supporters . Now he is a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts in Hogwarts Castle, specializing in teaching pure-blood and half-blood students Defense Against the Dark Arts.
He also has a sister named Alecto Carrow, who is also a professor in the castle, but is responsible for teaching Muggle Studies.
Amycus Carrow is also one of the people Jon specifically has to keep an eye on in the castle.
When Slughorn was teaching him how to cast spells with the ring, he mentioned to him that Mr. Adrian Fawkes had once been a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and according to the notes he left behind after his death, one of the gems on the ring should have been left by him at Hogwarts.
The gem and related information are most likely left in the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
His trip to sneak into Hogwarts Castle was not only to complete Dumbledore's task, but also to find the gems left in the castle.
According to the message Slughorn left for him in the carriage, the Defense professor's office has not been changed until now, and is still occupied by the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the older brother of the Carrow siblings.
However, his job does not require him to leave the office often like Dolohov's, and the time for defense classes basically overlaps with Jon's daytime work time. He always eats three meals in the office, so Jon has not found a chance to sneak into his office until now.
