Volume 8: In this Hogwarts without the Dark Lord Chapter 515 Mutation
Harry's mouth dropped open.
He had always known that Jon was very capable, and Lily had told him this in private more than once.
But John's young appearance is not very convincing to people who have just met him for the first time. Harry never doubted that Lily was deceiving him. It was just that he imagined that John's feat of defeating Voldemort might have been achieved with the concerted efforts of the Order of the Phoenix, so that John finally got the final blow.
But what was he saying just now?
After the two Voldemorts merged, they became even more powerful. How could he kill them all by himself?
This is not defeat, this is killing.
Defeating a powerful wizard might not be difficult, but killing such a person, especially when that person is Voldemort, is extremely shocking, especially since the person who accomplished this feat should normally still be in the fifth year at Hogwarts.
While Harry was still shocked by this incident, Dumbledore had already begun to think about the two major events that happened during the time when John mentioned that there was a problem with the golden cup.
It's not that he was not surprised that John could kill Voldemort, but as a wizard who had studied magic deeply , when he knew that John's Animagus could transform into a phoenix, no matter what kind of feat the young man performed in the future, he could accept it as a matter of course.
"The fusion of the two Voldemort souls, and his resurrection after death through the Horcruxes of this world. Judging from the relationship between these two events and the Horcruxes, the second possibility is more likely."
Dumbledore took off his crescent-shaped glasses and cleaned them with his wand as he spoke.
"But according to the magical principles of Horcruxes, how the person who created the Horcrux is resurrected should have nothing to do with the Horcrux itself."
Jon was actually thinking about this question.
However, for them, instead of understanding the principle behind it, the simplest and quickest way is to find and destroy the gold cup immediately.
In this way, no matter what the reason for the accident, it doesn’t matter. They just need to complete the most fundamental purpose.
Finally, Jon shook his head and said.
"Let's put these things aside for now. We can investigate the matter of the golden cup later. At least we are not without clues. We may be able to dig out more information from the two captured Death Eaters."
Dumbledore naturally had no objection to his ideas.
After understanding the current situation clearly, they did not stay here any longer. They were led by Dumbledore back to the principal's office at Hogwarts. Lily would come back before the evening regardless of whether she had gained anything or not.
The best ideal situation now is that the problem of the time converter can also be solved. Then even if the whereabouts of the golden cup is still a problem, they can have a single-minded goal.
Just when Dumbledore, John and Harry had just returned to the headmaster's office and the tea in the kettle had not even been poured yet, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Dumbledore spoke softly, not meaning for Jon and Harry to avoid the question.
"Come in."
A middle-aged wizard with greasy hair like seaweed and a pale and gloomy face pushed the door and walked in.
The moment Harry saw him, he instantly became restless and his expression became very unnatural.
John looked very interested. He knew better than anyone that compared to the world with Voldemort, the changes in this world were not that great. In other words, the Potions Professor in front of him had a completely different stance from himself in the other world.
Well, although their intentions are still the same.
Snape's face looked anxious and ugly. After entering the headmaster's office, he first saw Harry. His already gloomy face became even gloomier. Then he turned around and saw young John sitting on a high-back chair with his legs dangling in the air and sipping a cup of black tea. There was some doubt in his eyes.
However, it was obvious that his attention was not mainly on Harry or John. Instead, he hurried to Dumbledore's desk with the newspaper in his hand.
"I hope you'll take a look at this."
Seeing Snape's serious attitude, Dumbledore also looked at the front-page news of the newspaper seriously.
[Unprecedented! Azkaban suffered a major attack and many prisoners escaped! ]
After seeing the headline, Dumbledore's expression became more serious. He read the entire report carefully. However, before he put down the newspaper in his hand, a rustling sound was heard outside the window.
Dozens of owls flew in and circled on the ceiling of the principal's office for a while, and the letters fell like rain.
After the owls left, Dumbledore simply waved his wand to collect the messy letters. Frowning slightly, he opened the letters signed by the Minister of Magic and the Director of the Auror Command Office. They were all asking if anyone knew what was going on in Azkaban. Almost all the escaped prisoners were Death Eaters who had been captured and brought to justice.
After seeing these letters, Dumbledore just shook his head helplessly, gathered the letters together and put them aside.
It was obvious that Snape had something to say at this time. He turned his head to look at Harry, then at John, and said in a cold voice.
"I have something else I want to talk to you about in private."
Dumbledore nodded and spoke softly to Harry.
"Dinner time is almost here. Let's go to the Great Hall to eat first, Harry. You must be tired enough today."
Although Harry wanted to stay and listen to what Snape wanted to say, he finally left the headmaster's office as Dumbledore said.
After Harry left, Snape looked at John again, but found that neither John himself nor Dumbledore had any intention of letting him go.
"I'll explain his identity to you later. For now, don't worry about him being around. There are no secrets between us."
Although Snape's expression did not look much better, he did not question Dumbledore's words. He just treated John if he were air and did not exist.
He then pulled open the sleeve of his robe on his arm, revealing the dark mark.
"He's calling me."
Snape's voice was trembling slightly.
"I can feel that he is summoning his former servant. No one else can do this except him!"
