Volume 8: In this Hogwarts without the Dark Lord Chapter 523 What do you want
Jon wasn't working on this alone.
He is confident in himself, but not to the point of being arrogant. Before coming here, Iniesta reminded him to pay attention to the speed of time flow between the two worlds.
Now that it has been confirmed that this world has advanced half a year further than the time they came from, and the time Voldemort used the time converter was also half a year, more than ten years have passed, and this half-year time difference still exists, which means that the time flow rate in the two worlds is the same.
It also means that the longer he and Lily stay in this world, the longer their original world will pass.
No one could guarantee how long the remaining wizarding world could hold out against Voldemort with Grindelwald around, and John and Lily privately agreed that the minimum time limit was two weeks.
They must solve all the problems in this world within two weeks and then return. They cannot delay any longer.
In other words, Jon must try his best to complete what is written in this notebook within two weeks. Once he returns to his original world, he may not have such time and opportunity.
So after sharing the note with Dumbledore, Dumbledore put aside his other work and began to study in depth the possibilities of the idea with John.
He had originally thought that the contents of the note were far-fetched, just like Slughorn, but after seeing that Jon could now transform into an Animagus phoenix, and that he could use the ring to perform the Levitation Spell, the Universal Breaking Spell, and the Invisibility Spell, he no longer had any doubts, but went to the Room of Requirement with Jon to help him make further attempts.
Their experiment was very dangerous from the beginning. John needed to transform his body towards the direction that the ring could carry. This not only required extremely high Transfiguration skills, but also required him to be familiar enough with the properties of the ring itself.
Fortunately, Dumbledore himself is the world's top wizard in Transfiguration, and John has been using the ring for five years, so no one knows it better than him.
Although these will cause some problems for them, they are not difficult to solve.
While they were conducting an in-depth study of the notes left by Adrian, Lily had also found out some clues about the golden cup.
In a rather luxurious manor, Lily, with a changed appearance, sat in the main seat. In front of her, the owners of the manor, the Selwyn family, a noble pure-blood family in the British wizarding world, all sat on the ground with dejected faces.
There was no sign of fighting around, and it was obvious that no armed conflict had broken out between them, but such a strange relationship was presented.
"Not only was it because of your betrayal in 1975 that Lodar and his group were arrested by the Aurors, but also one day two years later, you boldly reached a secret deal with the then head of the Auror Command without your master's knowledge. You can leak some of the Death Eaters' actions to him to help him change his helplessness at the time regarding the damage caused by the Death Eaters and the people's angry accusations of his incompetence. And you can also cooperate with the Auror exercises and help those Death Eaters you betrayed escape from danger in some emergency situations. Not only can you make your own connections, but you can also gain the trust of your master."
Lily said slowly.
"You performed this double act three times, which resulted in four Death Eaters being arrested and sent to Azkaban, and three Aurors being killed. And you also knew that if you did this too much, it would inevitably arouse other people's suspicion, so you stopped in time and unilaterally severed contact with the head of the Auror Command. Later, you found the right opportunity to lure him out of the Ministry of Magic, kill him and silence him, and then take credit in front of your master..."
As Lily continued to speak, more and more sweat formed on the face of the middle-aged wizard, the current head of the Selwyn family.
This witch, whom no one had ever seen before, suddenly appeared in his house. She didn't say a word at first, but just threw a piece of parchment that recorded what he had done over the years in front of him, and then told him everything he had done.
Selwyn did not dare to act rashly. He had no psychological burden at all to attack a witch he had never met.
But now he has no idea how many people know what he has done!
If these things were to be revealed, not to mention how he would explain to Voldemort, his reputation among the Death Eaters would be completely ruined. He would also have no chance of staying in the British wizarding world. This would offend both sides.
"Where's the evidence? You just talk without any evidence, who would believe you?"
"Do you think your master is someone who needs evidence?"
Lily said calmly.
"As long as he has doubts about you, isn't your brain like his bathroom, where he can come in and out as he pleases?"
"What about the Ministry of Magic? What evidence do you have?!"
"I have ways to know all the shit you've done. If there's really no evidence, do you think I would come to you?"
Lily said it nonchalantly, as if she didn't care at all about what Selwyn would decide in the end. It was this attitude that put Selwyn under tremendous pressure.
The reason why she knew about the dirty deeds that this pure-blood family had done was, of course, not because of anything else, but because in her original world, Lily had once captured this wizard in front of her with her own hands, and used truth serum to dig out many secrets about the Death Eaters from him.
Most of that information is no longer useful in this world. After all, Voldemort disappeared from here from the very beginning . These Death Eaters have no one to rely on, and can only be noble "obedient citizens" in the wizarding world. However, the history before Voldemort went to the Potter family has not changed at all.
These naturally became the leverage in Lily's hands. She didn't need anything else. With these alone, she could easily control those Death Eaters who were already wavering and had almost no loyalty to Voldemort.
Just like Selwyn at this moment, he didn't dare to gamble at all. As Lily said, since she knew those things that happened back then in such detail, who knew if she had any key evidence in her hands?
After a moment of silence, Selwyn swallowed and spoke in a difficult voice.
"What do you want?"
