Volume 5: The Burning Golden Flame Chapter 362 Huos's happy life begins
Jon, who had slept comfortably all night and had a big meal the next day, didn't care about the discussions in the outside world.
Now the first event has just ended, and the second event will not start until the first day of next year. There is a long offseason in between, which can give every participating warrior enough time to recuperate.
After a night's rest, Jon did not sit idle in the carriage, but followed Hagrid quietly to Hogsmeade, the wizarding town near Hogwarts.
As someone who was under constant surveillance by Aurors, it was also a problem how to leave the school without being noticed.
Fortunately, Dumbledore helped them. He used extremely advanced Transfiguration techniques to turn John and Hagrid into two birds. Then they secretly flew into the Forbidden Forest, and then flew out of Hogwarts from the Forbidden Forest, so as not to alert the Aurors.
Once they arrived at Hogsmeade, they headed straight for the dingy bar with a pig's head on the door.
Aberforth had anticipated their arrival today and did not open the bar at all. Instead, he closed the door and waited in the yard behind the bar.
"What a mess you're throwing at me! You're asking me to take care of that stupid donkey. Do you know what he almost did last night? He was trying to mate with my goat!"
As soon as they met, Aberforth angrily complained to Jon and the others about what Hoss had done.
However, Jon didn't care and touched Hoss's bald head, which looked stupid but was actually extremely smart.
"Hey, Percival , did you know that Hogwarts Castle was attacked by a dragon last night?"
Aberforth thought he was trying to change the subject, and although he was still angry, he was obviously very interested in the question.
"Of course I read today's newspaper. The Daily Prophet didn't say anything good about you. They implicitly said that Albus cheated and taught you some kind of dark magic that ordinary people couldn't imagine. This is how you controlled those dragons and made them attack Hogwarts Castle."
Hearing this confusing explanation, Jon sneered and told Aberforth exactly what happened to him in the Forbidden Forest. Most people would never imagine that the greatest help he got in the Forbidden Forest and the biggest contributors to the attack on Hogwarts Castle were actually these stupid donkeys who looked a little horny.
Aberforth obviously changed his opinion of Hoss.
"Well, it looks a little silly, but it does have its own unique features."
After seeing Hoss, Hagrid's emotions became much more intense. He hugged Hoss's big head and burst into tears on the spot, as if he had found his long-lost relative.
"When we escaped from Hogwarts Castle, I kept looking for you in the Forbidden Forest, but I didn't know where you ran to at that time. I couldn't find you no matter where I looked. Hoss, luckily you are still alive. Hoss! If I lost you again, I really don't know what I could rely on to live in the future."
When Hoss saw Hagrid, he was obviously very excited. He struggled out of Hagrid's bear hug and licked Hagrid's bearded face with his tongue.
But they didn't have much time to reunite. After staying at the Hog's Head for a while, Kingsley, who was originally in France, came to the Hog's Head through Apparition with about a dozen wizards from the Wizarding Horizon.
After seeing Jon, Kingsley and those wizards were obviously very happy. Jon had spent some time with Kingsley during his time in Lyon, and had a good relationship with this dark-skinned wizard who was also from a pure-blood family.
As soon as we met, he started talking about yesterday's game.
"The news has spread throughout France. We all know that it was you who influenced those dragons to attack Hogwarts Castle. You did a great job, Jon. Even though I still have a lot of nostalgia and affection for that school, I also know that it is no longer the same Hogwarts as before."
Jon patted Hoss's bald head.
"The hero is here. It is because of Fox that we have the opportunity to retaliate against the Dark Lord and his gang. Please take good care of it after you take it away."
Kingsley had already known about Hoss's existence before, and one of the purposes of their coming here today was to help bring Hoss to a safe place.
Dumbledore was very thoughtful. If Howth stayed here and appeared in the carriage, it would be too conspicuous. Without seeing it, no one would guess what method Jon used to divert the attention of those dragons. But once someone discovered Howth's race and considered the time of its appearance, there would definitely be smart people who would be able to guess some of the truth.
It is inevitable that someone will retaliate against it at that time, so the safest way now is to send it to France, which has been actually occupied by the Wu Ping Line.
"I read in Hagrid's letter that this great hero is a bit lascivious." Kingsley looked at Hoss's big and small eyes and laughed. "It just so happens that we recently conquered a magic horse breeding farm of the French Ministry of Magic near Beauxbatons. The number of mares there is more than three times that of stallions, and they are in need of good stallions. If it likes it, we can take it there."
After hearing Kingsley's words, Hoss 's eyes lit up obviously!
He even couldn't help wanting to break free from Hagrid's hands and go away with Kingsley right now.
This made Jon, who was originally worried that Howth might not be willing to go to France, speechless. He could only say that this stupid donkey's nature could not be changed.
Of course, it would not take more than a dozen wizards present to take Howth away, and Kingsley and his companions came to Hogsmeade despite the strict scrutiny of the British Ministry of Magic not just for Howth, the horse.
There is a remnant of the centaur tribe waiting for them in the forbidden forest.
Dumbledore did not delay. Since he had promised Firenze to take them out of the Forbidden Forest, it would be better to do it sooner rather than later. No one knew whether Voldemort would take other actions against these centaurs in the future.
After having a wizard take Hoss away from the Hog's Head Inn, Kingsley, Hagrid and Jon began to discuss a plan to rescue the centaurs.
In the Hog's Head Inn, Jon spread out the simple map he had drawn in the Forbidden Forest and pointed out to Kingsley and Hagrid where the centaurs were now.
"After rescuing them from the valley, I deliberately asked them to go to the edge of the Forbidden Forest near Hogsmeade. However, the terrain of this part of the Forbidden Forest is very complicated. There is a steep hillside blocking their way. There is also a high probability that the British Ministry of Magic has surveillance measures in the border area."
