In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 156

   Chapter 156 154. Wormtail

  Hermione also heard Jon's question, she turned her gaze to Jon's hand, and saw the handful of gray hairs.

   "Doesn't look like something from a person."

  Jon looked at these gray hairs carefully, and his brows could not help but frown.

   "Are there any other animals in the carriage?"

"There is Hagrid's Sniff named Beachy." Hermione was thinking, "but Beachy's fur is black, this one is a bit gray. Besides, there are thestrals kept in a special room, But those thestrals are unlikely to come to the Potions office, and their fur, if anyone can see it, should be pure black."

"There is no animal with gray hair on the carriage." Jon frowned more and more tightly, "Even Professor McGonagall's Animagus is a tabby cat, and it is even less likely that she will lose gray hair." hair."

  He held up the tuft of hair to Hermione's eyes, and asked in an inexplicable tone.

   "You feel like some animal left this behind?"

  Hermione stared at the gray hairs, not quite understanding what Jon was trying to express.

   "Huh, a magical animal? It was kept in a carriage by the professors, and it was just locked in a room we couldn't go in, so we didn't know?"

   "Don't think so complicated." Jon stared at the gray hair closely, and he said softly, "Do you think this may be a mouse's hair?"

"mouse?"

  Hermione tilted her head blankly. She felt that the short and thin gray fluff could be many animals, such as gray rabbits, cats, and dogs, but why did Jon emphasize mice?

"It's indeed possible." She could only think according to Jon's thoughts, "Maybe at the welcome dinner last time when the school started, a gray mouse slipped into the carriage in the field, and none of us noticed it. Already made a home here."

  Jon's brows didn't relax at all, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

   "No, if it's a mouse, it should have slipped into the carriage much earlier!"

  Hermione couldn't understand what Jon said more and more. She didn't understand how he could deduce so much from a pinch of hair.

  Jon didn't continue to explain so much to Hermione. This bunch of hair looks ordinary, but it can remind people who know something about it!

  He didn't stay in the Charms classroom, but took the gray hair, turned around and opened the door to leave.

   "Where are you going?" Hermione asked from behind him.

  Jon hurriedly walked, and said without looking back.

   "Go to Professor Dumbledore."

   Hermione froze.

  She felt that she couldn't keep up with Jon's brain circuit, just because she found a bunch of hair of an unknown animal on the carriage, should she report this to Professor Dumbledore?

  Jon was indeed going to look for Dumbledore, but when he approached the door of the principal's office, his pace gradually slowed down.

   This report must be reported. He never thought of relying on himself to investigate anything. There are so many people and professors in the carriage, and Dumbledore is there, it is definitely much better than him alone.

   But even if you want to talk, you have to think about how to tell the matter and avoid being suspected of why you thought of it.

  After arriving at the door of the principal's office, Jon already had a plan in mind. He took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door.

   Waiting for Dumbledore's response from inside, he opened the door and walked in.

  Dumbledore is not the only one in the principal's office. Except for McGonagall, Flitwick, Lupine, and Lily, who just finished chatting with Jon an hour ago, are all here.

  They seemed to be discussing something. After Jon walked in, all eyes were on him.

   "Sorry, Professor, I seem to have interrupted your meeting."

   Facing Jon's apology, Dumbledore just shook his head.

   "It's okay, Jon, if you have something important, you can say it directly."

  Jon didn't hesitate any longer. He took a deep breath and held up the gray hair he found in the Charms classroom.

   "Professor, I just discovered this when I was practicing spells in the Charms classroom."

  Everyone in the principal's office looked at the handful of gray hairs held between his fingers.

  Flitwick, Lily, and Lupine frowned unconsciously. They weren't dissatisfied, but they still didn't understand why Jon brought such a tuft of hair to the principal's office.

  Only Dumbledore's face remained calm, and he seemed to think of something in the corners of his blue eyes. After seeing the gray hair on Jon's hand, his pupils shrank slightly.

   "I don't know if there are any other professors on the carriage who have pets, but according to what I know of these animals in the school, none of them have this kind of hair."

  Jon said the words he had thought up in advance before entering the door.

"When Professor Slughorn was still there, he told me that there is a very magical transformation technique among wizards called Animagus. I wonder if it is possible that the person who sneaked into the carriage is actually a Animagus? These hairs are what he left after he turned into an animal!"

  His words did not cause any obvious change in Dumbledore's face, but Lily and Lupine both turned pale the moment Jon said Animagus.

  They seemed to be reminded of some unforgettable past. Lily clenched her fists at some point, and Lupine also had a rare gloomy expression.

   "I know I'm probably overkill for thinking this, but maybe it's possible"

   "No! You're not making a fuss about it, Jon."

  Lily interrupted him before he could finish speaking. She had already stood up from the seat, her usually cold face was now extremely cold.

   "This is a very important clue! Can you tell me which spell classroom you found it in?"

  Jon could tell that the professors in the principal's office had already thought of what he was going to remind them of, and he didn't hesitate.

   "It's in the classroom where the sign says 'Charm Lesson (2)'."

   But at this moment, Dumbledore suddenly spoke.

   "The clues you provided are really important, thank you very much for your carefulness, Jon, but can you please avoid it now?"

  He looked at Jon, there was neither surprise nor frown on his face, his tone was still so sincere.

   "We want to talk about a private matter that happened in the past. This matter is not good. You should know that this kind of bad thing should always be avoided."

Of course, Jon knew what they were going to talk about next, and he didn't feel dissatisfied with hiding it from Dumbledore. It was because he knew that he understood these things better, especially in front of Lily, who was not suitable and unknown. lovers mentioned.

  He nodded, left the gray hair on the desk, and after conveying the clues, he turned and left the principal's office.

  As he left, Lily turned her head, glanced at the animal hair left by Jon, and then fixed her eyes on Dumbledore.

   "Only a mouse can leave such fur! It can only be a mouse!"

"I can understand your current mood, but the more this is the case, we have to calm down, Lily." Dumbledore persuaded her, reassuring her to sit back on the chair, instead of rushing to Jon immediately to find Ash Mao's Charms classroom.

  But even though Lily sat down again, her expression didn't change at all, it was still so cold, hateful and impatient.

"Jon is not wrong. None of the animals raised in the carriage match the color and shape of this hair. It's not a matter of being calm, but he is very likely to be on this carriage, not only in the , and has been around for a long time!"

   It sounded like she was trying very hard to suppress her voice, but it still couldn't stop becoming shrill.

Even Lupine, who has always been calm and gentle, looks the same, but his emotional control is obviously much better than Lily's. He didn't say anything, and looked at Dumbledore, as if he was waiting for him to give his request. Finish what you said.

   At this moment, Flitwick seems to have thought of why Lily and Lupine became like this after seeing that bunch of gray hairs. He sighed, and did not say what he wanted to dissuade.

"I know that this tuft of hair is probably left by Wormtail." Dumbledore looked at Lily and Lupine seriously, "His Animagus is a mouse, a gray mouse, which is All of us know something. But it is because it is very likely that he is sneaking into the carriage now, so I want to advise you to calm down."

"Think about it, how many years have we not heard from him? The Dark Lord led his men to occupy Hogwarts Castle seven years ago, completely stabilizing the rule of the entire British wizarding world. Afterwards, he disappeared as if the world had evaporated."

"It stands to reason that he has made such great contributions. No matter what, the Dark Lord should reward him after gaining power, but there is no information about him. His name has not appeared in the magic world for seven years. gone."

"You hate him, and all of us who know what he's done hate him, and he should know it better than anyone else. That's why we've always suspected that the Dark Lord was helping him for his safety." Incognito, re-arranged an identity that none of us can guess, holds a high position in the Ministry of Magic, and gains benefits by betraying his friends. We have also been looking for those suspicious pure-blood wizards, wanting to find all the clues about him, But after so many years, there is still no clue."

"But now, a person from the Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord sneaked into the carriage, and this person is very likely to be Wormtail who has been missing for so long. In this carriage, Lily and Lupine are both in the same situation. Next, do you think with his character, he will come to such a place?"

Dumbledore was obviously more thorough than anyone thought. He was rational enough to think through all the problems. What he said just now, even Jon didn't think about it for a while, and he was watching By the time Jon took out the gray hair, he had already noticed the unusualness.

  But not everyone can be as rational and calm as him.

  Even if there is nothing wrong with what he said, it doesn't change the fact that Wormtail is probably on this carriage right now!

  Facing this fact, neither Lily nor Lupine had any choice but to just sit and wait for death.

   "These are indeed problems, but with these problems, should we ignore Wormtail who is right beside us?" Lily's voice was flat, but that flat voice was visibly trembling.

  Lupine's tone remained calm.

"You're right, sir. If Wormtail would really appear on the carriage to serve as the Dark Lord's undercover agent, it would indeed be contrary to common sense. He should know the extent of our hatred for him best. He must be with him. His master has some kind of plan, but the more it is because of this, the less we have to catch this traitor as soon as possible! Because only in this way can we pry open his brain as quickly as possible and know all their plans and conspiracies!"

   Dumbledore was silent.

  He wasn't convinced by Lily and Lupine's words, and he knew very clearly that no matter what he said now, there was no way to stop their hatred for Wormtail that had accumulated for countless years.

  Dumbledore knew that there must be a problem, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Because of this, he has no reason to stop Lily and Lupine from trying to find Wormtail out of the carriage, even though his instinct tells him that this is probably what Voldemort wants to see …

Paris France.

In an old house on the outskirts of Paris, Sirius was sitting on the sofa in the living room, absently cutting the steak in front of him, eating dinner while listening to Bill, the eldest son of the Weasley family, reporting to him. .

"Charlie and the others, after visiting and investigating for a long time, concluded that the high-level members of the French Ministry of Magic are currently divided into four factions. One is based on the ancient wizard families and some mixed-blood wizards who meet the new pure-blood standards. The pure-blood superiority These people are loyal supporters of the theory of the Dark Lord's rule, and many of them want to turn the French magic world into what Britain is today, where pure blood completely controls all power."

"There is another faction headed by the current French Minister of Magic, Eric Amalric, who seeks benefits. They are now clearly leaning towards the theory of pure blood superiority, but in fact they just want to use this attitude to turn the water in the French magic circle It is also the biggest reactionary force of the French Ministry of Magic on the face of it to confuse and gain more benefits for themselves."

"Then there is the friendly Muggle faction headed by Adele Roland, who are cooperating with us. They are now fiercely confronting the profit-seeking faction. I heard that a temporary parliament will be held soon, and they want to The Minister of Magic has stepped down to stabilize the situation in France."

"The last is the neutral faction. These people have the largest number, accounting for nearly half of the top management of the Ministry of Magic. Most of them are pure-blooded or mixed-blooded with moderate thoughts. Radical reforms have brought chaos to France, which belongs to the faction that does not help each other, and whoever has the upper hand becomes whichever faction in the end."
