The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster - v2 Chapter 383
The house elf Hodder of Greengrass Manor took Jon to a basement of the manor.
There was a pile of discarded furniture in this basement. It took Jon and Hodt a little time to clean them all to a corner… Then they transformed it into a simple “potions laboratory” “.
In his suitcase, Jon carried a lot of commonly used medicinal materials, as well as potions and tools such as cauldrons, knives, crystal bottles, etc.; for a few shortage of medicinal materials, the house elf Hodder also helped in the warehouse of Greengrass Manor He found it.
I have to say that in these respects, the house elves did treat him as a member of the Greengrass family…
For the next few hours, Jon stayed in this temporary “potions laboratory”, equipped with several kinds of potions that were not too complicated but very practical.
House elf Hodder acts as his assistant.
For example, “Living Hell Decoction”, this powerful sleeping pill called “Life and Death Water” can achieve a certain effect even against creatures with extremely high magic resistance such as fire dragons or giants. Jon is still configured according to the improvement steps of the original book “The Half-Blood Prince” in the memory, with better quality and better results!
There is also the “Tian Xing Potion”, which can lighten the wizard’s body in a short time after taking it and allow them to fly in the sky for a period of time… Whether it is home travel or expedition, it is a very practical medicine.
and the “powerful confusion potion”, it does not even need to be taken, only a little inhalation is required to make them irritable, reckless and irritable. Faced with some humanoid creatures with lower intelligence, the effect will be very good.
Obviously, these potions are all aimed at giants… Now it just happens to be free, there is always no problem preparing in advance.
During the potion preparation process, Astoria also quietly came over to watch Jon for a while (the house elf Emily was with her all the way, or watching her). Starting
Watching Jon drag his tired body, trying to add a kind of medicine to the cauldron; the house elf Hodder acts as his assistant, providing all kinds of help on the side (as a well-educated house elf housekeeper, Hodder has a lot of basic knowledge of potions).
Astoria just watched silently from the side, and didn’t disturb them… After staying for half an hour, at the urging of Emily the housekeeper, some reluctantly left here and went back to her room.
A few hours later, when Jon carefully filled the last “smoke potion” into the crystal bottle… Once this potion touches the flame, it will emit a violent and foul-smelling smoke, which can hide the line of sight. , It can also expel some magical creatures; it is a good escape potion.
Outside the manor, suddenly there was a sound!
Jon raised his head with some doubts and glanced at Hod.
Hodder explained: “It’s the madam…she’s back!”
Then only heard a loud, echoing pop, and he apparated and left.
……
Mrs. Diana Greengrass, who was reinstated as an official, still holds the post of Director of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic… It is reported that Minister Burns admires her a lot and is happy to promote her to a more important position. .
Tonight, she should have rushed back from get off work a few hours ago to accompany her poor little daughter——
However, due to a major accident a few hours ago, the Misinformation Office under the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures held an emergency meeting, and she had to stay at the Ministry of Magic to participate in this meeting…
The error message office will only be dispatched when the conflict between the magical world and the Muggle world is at its worst.
Generally speaking, when some very eye-catching accidents occur due to magic, and the Muggles cannot be concealed without the help of the Magic Department, the Misinformation Office will contact the Muggle Prime Minister to discuss how to proceed. Some ostensibly non-magical explanations.
So this kind of urgent meeting is quite exhausting.
When Mrs. Greengrass, with a tired face, returned to the living room of the manor, she casually glanced at a large clock on the wall, her face changed slightly.
“Hod…Hod!” she called out a little harshly.
only heard a loud, echoing popping sound, the house elf Hodder Apparated in front of her.
“There are guests in the manor?” Mrs. Greengrass asked calmly, “Didn’t I say that outsiders are not allowed in during this time?”
“The visitor is not an outsider…” The house elf Hodder quickly explained: “It’s Mr. Hart…”
“Hart, Jon Hart?” Mrs. Greengrass suddenly smiled, and she hurriedly shouted: “He’s back? Where is he… in Astoria’s room?”
“In a basement downstairs, he just made some potions.” Hodder explained with a smile.
“Quickly, in which room, take me to find him!” Mrs. Greengrass said without hesitation.
“In which basement with discarded furniture, madam, come with me!”
……
Jon was still putting the prepared bottles of medicine into the suitcase carefully; at the same time, he cleaned up some medicines remaining on the table; and cleaned the crucible knives.
The basement door opened with a “bang”, and Jon turned around and saw Mrs. Diana Greengrass strode in, and the house elf Hodder followed her.
“Madam.” Jon quickly greeted respectfully.
At the same time, he noticed that Mrs. Greengrass’s face, which had always been calm and unreliable, seemed to be a little more tired and irritable today.
“How about Jon…!” Mrs. Greengrass asked urgently: “About the Horcrux…”
is related to the life and death of her daughter. She is very concerned about it, and she is very emotional; some time ago, she was almost desperate because she couldn’t find out about the boy in front of her.
“The progress is going well.” Jon closed his suitcase, and calmly replied: “I have got the material that Horcrux needs and is very important… Now, it’s placed in Ah. In Storia’s room, I let her take care of it!”
“Branches of the Soul Tree… it’s not something easy to get.” Mrs. Greengrass said softly, “Jon, you have worked hard this time!”
“It’s nothing…” Jon shook his head: “So ma’am, where’s your side?”
“I have basically no problem here!” Mrs. Greengrass smiled and nodded: “Several guards of Azkaban, I have successfully’persuaded’ them and become their friends… “
While talking, Mrs. Greengrass gestured for a gold coin, and then added: “Of course, there is also Professor Albus Dumbledore’s acquiescence…”
“…Now if you want, I can take an Azkaban prisoner out of the cell briefly at any time, kill him and put him back in again, and then let the dementor **** his soul…including The most notorious Death Eaters: such as Bellatrix Lestrange, Antonin Dolohov and August Lukewood. I can bring them out!”
“Madam, thank you for your help…”
“In order to save my daughter, why do you want to thank me!” Mrs. Diana Greengrass smiled, then lowered her voice: “So now, Jon… can we start?”
……
Yes, it looks like everything is ready now.
The materials for making Horcruxes have been collected, Bellatrix Lestrange and Death Eaters with countless blood debts, their soul strength should be enough.
If it had been a few days ago, according to the pre-planned plan, Jon would have started making Horcruxes for Astoria.
But, now that I have the tips from Mrs. Maxim and Hagrid, I learned that the giant controls the method of accurately separating souls… Jon had to suspend his previous plan.
After all, Grindelwald warned him that it is extremely difficult to simply rely on the Horcrux to divide the blood curse soul; according to this method, the probability of rescuing Astoria is very low.
And if you can control the giants’ method of accurately separating souls, the success rate will definitely be greatly improved.
There are at most five months before the onset of Astoria’s illness… So, this is totally worth trying.
“What’s wrong, what’s the accident?” Mrs. Diana Greengrass asked softly.
“No, it’s actually good news.” Jon grinned reluctantly, and then started with Mrs. Maxim’s suggestion and Hagrid’s story. He told Mrs. Greengrass everything from one to five to ten.
“That means…” Mrs. Greengrass murmured.
“If the whereabouts of the giants can be known and found…then the chance of rescuing Astoria may be a bit more.” Jon said with a serious face.
The expression on Mrs. Diana Greengrass’s face changed slightly, and she looked a little bit hesitant.
“Why… do you know information about giants?” Jon asked in surprise.
Mrs. Greengrass nodded lightly, and she murmured: “Yes…and, it happened to be known a few hours ago!”
……
“A few hours ago?” Jon was a little confused: “I don’t quite understand…”
“A few hours ago, the Misinformation Office held an emergency meeting.” Mrs. Greengrass said with a serious face: “Only when the conflict between the magical world and the Muggle world reaches its worst state without the help of the magic department. The misinformation office will only be dispatched when the Muggles are kept hidden… the last time the misinformation office was dispatched was the last time the mysterious man raged fifteen years ago.”
“It’s… about… giants… isn’t it…” Jon stammered.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
“Yes, just a few hours ago, there was a terrible disaster in Lancashire and Cheshire.” Mrs. Greengrass nodded: “Big trees were uprooted, countless roofs were overturned, and road signs changed. It became a bend, a large number of casualties… The final result of our discussion was for the Muggles Prime Minister to tell the Muggles that this is a super hurricane that swept the west of England…”
“…But actually…” Mrs. Greengrass pursed her lips: “It was a Death Eater who did it… and there are lots of evidence expressions, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com they drove the giant, let the giant cause this. Terrible disaster!”
“So…” Jon only felt his mind was in confusion: “The giants appeared in the west of England, just a few hours ago?”
“I can be sure.” Mrs. Greengrass nodded.
“Can I be alone, madam…” Jon’s voice became a little trembling.
Mrs. Greengrass nodded silently. She gave the house elf Hodder a wink, and both of them exited the basement room.
……
Jon Hart, who stayed alone in the basement room, his emotions are not at all joy or excitement, but full of surprise…even fear!
Yes, a few hours after I desperately needed to know the whereabouts of the giant——
The giants belonging to Voldemort suddenly carried out a meaningless act of sabotage…just a few hundred miles away from his current location.
I think of the letter Daphne wrote to him earlier, and the news that Professor Horace Slughorn had relayed to him.
Jon suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and at the same time felt a kind of fear born from his heart.
took a few deep breaths and forced myself to calm down…
Jon bent down, opened the suitcase, and took out an old and beautiful portrait from it.
“Phineas… Phineas…” He whispered:
“Principal Phineas Black, I need your help!”
