In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 425 423. It chose you, and you saved it

The Triwizard Tournament ended badly.

Of course, it was pretty bleak for the students and teachers of the original Hogwarts castle.

For the teachers, the school disappeared immediately, and they also lost their original superior status as professors, but fortunately, their normal lives have not been affected.

But for the students, it was very different. Not only did they lose their school, but they also had to go in and be taken away by Dumbledore. This was something they had never thought of before tonight.

Voldemort eventually left with his men.

There was no sneak attack later on, nor was there any intention of starting a war today. Just as Jon guessed, he thought that he had just regained control of his body, and his strength had not yet fully recovered. He planned to fight Dumbledore again after everything was restored. It's time for a decisive battle.

And everything he does today is to stabilize the existing forces, so as to gain time for development.

As long as this period of time is passed, he can resume the unfinished plan of the idiot who wanted to eat him, and let him see who the real Tom Riddle is!
Voldemort led his men away from the campus of Hogwarts Castle, leaving the students who were full of anxiety and uneasiness and turned to look at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't say anything to them, and didn't express anything else, but directly asked Kingsley and the others to bring these pure-blood and mixed-race students back to Lyon in batches.

The same is true for those students who were exchanged and the prisoners of Wupingxian, but Snape was the only one left in front of the castle.

After Snape was selected, he was directly trapped by Sirius with a binding spell, the wand in his hand was also confiscated, and all magic-related things he was carrying were confiscated.

From the beginning to the end of this period, he didn't resist or beg for mercy, just accepted everything calmly and indifferently.

Only Dumbledore, Jon and him were left in front of the castle's foyer now, and Snape looked at Dumbledore.

"Finally one day, I fell into your hands."

His voice was very soft, but it could be clearly heard by everyone present.

Dumbledore didn't show much smile on his face, but looked at Snape complicatedly.

"When you came to beg me that night, do you still remember how you promised me?"

Hearing Dumbledore's question, Snape suddenly laughed.

"So you've always wanted to ask me this? I thought you'd already figured out Dumbledore."

Facing his smile, Dumbledore just said seriously.

"Then can I get an answer now? Why did you go back on what we agreed at the beginning?"

The smile on Snape's face narrowed, and instead he showed a slightly sarcastic expression.

"Because the mysterious man at that time was just like Mr. Great just now. He was a fool who only thought about himself and didn't care about other hopeless people! His promises were simply unbelievable. That's why I found you, Deng Bullido, I need your help."

"But later he exceeded your expectations?"

"It's not only beyond my expectations, but also beyond your expectations, isn't it?" Snape said calmly, "Did you think at that time that he might have what he would achieve later? No, because at that time He didn't show that kind of talent at all. Moreover, he really fulfilled my request, why doesn't such a person deserve my allegiance?"

Dumbledore was noncommittal about this, and no one could deny Voldemort's various decisions and achievements over the past ten years.

"Then now, he has changed, right? You should be able to feel it."

Hearing Dumbledore say this, Snape's eyes turned to Jon.

"The reason for his change must be because of you!"

This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence pattern, and Jon didn't deny it, he just shrugged and didn't intend to get into this topic.

Dumbledore's expression became serious at this moment.

"Besides, there is no need to talk about it anymore, so, Severus, are you ready to face the person who has been hurt the most by what you have done?"

Snape didn't say anything, he just looked up at the castle.

Dumbledore also had no intention of continuing to communicate with him. After Snape fell into their hands, there would be no second ending at all. He waved his hand, and Lupine walked over. He looked at this enemy who had the same hatred as him with a cold face, and was about to take Snape away from here.

So, only Dumbledore and Jon were left in front of the castle.

Dumbledore turned around and walked into Hogwarts Castle with Jon. The place was brightly lit, but it was empty. Dumbledore seemed to just want to come in for a stroll, without any clear goal. En strolled in the courtyard.

"Now we can talk about what happened to you, Jon. How did he set his sights on you?"

Jon didn't hide anything, he told all the conspiracies planned by Voldemort II in the library, including the preparations he had to make after his plan succeeded.

After hearing this, even Dumbledore couldn't help being moved.

"If he really succeeds, I may not be able to discover your change, that's the worst. I believe that since he is ready to replace you, he must have already done everything about you. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to deceive me."

Jon nodded.

"Actually he has succeeded, and I'm not kidding you, Professor, I've actually died once, but the different Animagus I've been at school before played a role. You were right, After I drank that bottle of potion, there were only some insignificant changes. It was not that my magic failed, but that it was only half successful. Some specific conditions are required to complete it completely. I don’t know whether I should feel unfortunate or not. Be thankful that my Animagus is a phoenix."

While Jon was talking, he reached out and touched Fox's bright and smooth feathers.

Dumbledore blinked, of course he heard what Jon meant.

"That is to say, if there is no experience of Riddle killing you in the library today, it is very likely that you will not be able to complete the transformation of the Animagus until you are old and dead. No one will go to A bold attempt to die, and Riddle's behavior, in disguise, still helped you."

Jon looked at his hands that looked like a little boy with some annoyance.

"By the way, professor, can I change back to my appearance? Or do I have to wait another eight or nine years before I can grow back again?"

Hearing Jon's question, Dumbledore suddenly laughed.

"You are still troubled by this. Do you know how much effort Riddle has spent and how many ways he has found to achieve immortality by relying on his own strength? And the phoenix is ​​a kind of magical animal that is almost impossible to die. When you are old or your life is in danger, you only need to go through Nirvana once to start a new cycle of life, and this is the real eternal life.”

Jon didn't feel anything about it, maybe he was young enough not to feel the fear of all the functions of the body being aging and coming to an end after old age, and he wasn't particularly cold about the word "eternal life".

"Anyway, I can't use this appearance to meet people in the future, can I?" He rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Dumbledore helped him think about this question seriously.

"Based on my judgment of Fox's multiple nirvana, your young state will not last forever. It will take about a week for your body to quickly return to the state of nirvana. But the same, the first nirvana is actually It is the fire of the phoenix that forms a permanent memory of your body, that is to say, no matter what you become in the future, when you go to Nirvana once, you will return to the previous 15-year-old state."

Compared with the image of a child, the previous image of a 15-year-old boy, Jon, is barely acceptable.

Besides, he is not a person who likes to die, and the big deal is not to die once in the future, so there will be no such troubles.

After finishing the question about Jon himself, Dumbledore asked about the status of Voldemort II.

"How did he escape?"

"The fire of the phoenix obviously has a strong restraint effect on his black mist magic. He had no way to break free and leave, but it seems that he himself gave up the means of maintaining what was originally left by Mr. Slytherin. His soul probably divided into three and escaped from here."

Dumbledore's eyes darkened.

"He won't just let his soul separate like this. Unlike the Voldemort who compromised with us today, he will definitely regain what he lost. But no matter what, he doesn't even have a body anymore. There is no way to pose any threat to us, and now what we have to face is today's Riddle."

Jon was actually a little curious about Dumbledore's plan for Britain.

"So, professor, how do you plan to take Britain back?"

A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

"From today's contact, I can be sure that the current Riddle is the same him 15 years ago, who has not changed. He is crazy and cruel, but this incident is both bad and good for us."

"The disadvantages are obvious. A lunatic can produce great destructive power. He is willing to compromise today because he thinks he can control the other thing he left behind, and wants to prove that he will not be inferior to himself. But if Later, he discovered that the situation in the UK was not as easy to control as he imagined, and according to my understanding of him, he would definitely turn everyone's tables over."

"Including pure blood?" Jon asked.

Dumbledore nodded affirmatively.

"Including pure blood, no matter which Riddle it is, he doesn't really care whether the pure blood is noble or not, he just wants to use the contradiction between the blood to stabilize his power. Therefore, when he found that the pure blood also disobeyed his authority When possible, he smashed all the original order, and then used his own terror to rule."

"It won't last long, will it?"

"Normal people know that it won't last long, but a lunatic doesn't think so. He even enjoys the fear of others, thinking that this is his greatest masterpiece. In this way, everyone in the UK will be in danger in a short period of time. It's very difficult for us to penetrate, especially when I can't guarantee that I can win him."

"What about the benefits?"

"The benefits also come from this, because he will launch a reign of terror. Although it is difficult for us to infiltrate at the beginning, as long as it takes a little longer, even if we don't take the initiative to do it, there will be wizards in the UK to contact us Do you know why Riddell also showed such unprecedented strength at the beginning, but he has launched an annexation plan in the UK for nearly ten years, and he has not succeeded?"

"Because his theory was not perfect at that time?"

"Because at that time everyone, including many pure-blood wizards, knew that he was a lunatic. Under the leadership of a lunatic, no matter how many attractive benefits he verbally offered, the pure-bloods would also consider their future. Can I enjoy this benefit alive? Until that night 15 years ago, Riddle suddenly told everyone that he was not crazy, he would not kill people casually to disrupt order, but to establish a new one that only maintains pure blood The order came, and even he himself would not violate this order, only at this time, more people joined him, and Britain also changed its master in just two years."

Dumbledore looked at the chair in the center of the high platform at the front of the auditorium.

"The tension of precariousness is terrible, the feeling of mental tension every moment is not good, as soon as the wizards of England realize that their great master is no longer great, but has become the same again. After the lunatic, at that time, it is our best time to counterattack."

Jon also looked at the chair. In this castle, even if Voldemort himself is not here, no one dares to put his butt on it. It is like a throne in the castle, showing the authority of the king .

But at this time the king was gone, abandoned his soldiers, lost his castle, and only Jon and Dumbledore stood here.

"You went to the principal's office and said the words I told you to that room, right?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

Only then did Jon remember that he was still wearing a sorting hat.

"A talking hat that answered me that Hogwarts chose me?"

Dumbledore looked up at the starry sky on the ceiling of the auditorium with emotion.

"That's right, Jon, the owner of this castle is neither I nor Riddle, but you. It chose you, and you saved it."
