In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 541 539. The Biggest Gain
"how could be."

Jon himself was drinking water, but his voice when he answered was obviously much softer, which made him sound a little guilty.

“I just don’t want to plant a flag behind myself before the war begins.”

Hermione didn't ask too much about this question. She sat on the stone steps with her legs together, holding the water glass that Jon handed over to her knees, and looked at the dark night sky outside.

"Neville and the others have already gone to the front line, and the battle situation has deteriorated to the most difficult level."

"It won't be long before this situation, Voldemort will show up."

"What if we lose again?"

Facing this question, Jon didn't look too heavy, he pretended to be relaxed and said.

"If you lose, go north again. At worst, retreat to the North Pole. There is an ocean, and they will never come again."

Hermione turned to look at him, her expression was calm, but her eyes were filled with some different emotions.

"You know what I want to ask, if we lose, there is only one possibility of losing."

Jon is not really stupid, of course he knows what the true meaning of this question is.

The key to victory or defeat was the showdown between him and Voldemort, and the only way for them to lose was that Jon lost.

This kind of loss is not a simple defeat. After all, Jon can still live after death. If such a situation really comes, it must be Jon himself who must not be spared.

Phoenix's Nirvana is not truly invincible. After Voldemort learned of his immortality, he would not fail to find a way to deal with it, just like they have been looking for a breakthrough point for Voldemort's Horcrux.

Therefore, Jon's situation is actually far from being as safe as it seems. The worst outcome for other people in this war is to die, and once Jon is caught by Voldemort, it is very likely that life would be worse than death.

Hermione had clearly seen through this.

Jon didn't pretend to be stupid again this time. He put down the water glass and rumpled Hermione's smooth and neat long chestnut hair that had been groomed since she came to the Hogwarts carriage.

"Some things don't need to consider so many consequences. If you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose. Instead of thinking about the consequences, it is better to think about how to do it."

"Then why do you have to consider the consequences for us!"

Hermione had never tried so hard to break her head away from Jon's hand, venting the anger in her heart that she couldn't suppress no matter what!

"I know what you and the headmaster of Durmstrang have prepared! In this war, he will not show up again, but to plan your retreat after you fail, so as to preserve all that is left people!"

"You speak so high-soundingly! Don't think about the consequences of what you say! But you have thought about everyone's escape route! Then you left yourself a retreat route! From the time on Azkaban Island, you It never changed!"

Jon was obviously a little surprised by her sudden outburst.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Hermione hugged him suddenly in the next second!

The fine strands of hair tickled Jon's ears, allowing him to hear the girl's sobbing.

Jon didn't say anything more, he knew that Hermione didn't want him to give an answer, because the question itself was unsolvable.

In this situation, what escape path can Jon prepare for himself?

He can't prepare for anything. He can only make choices like Dumbledore. If he succeeds, he wins. If he fails, everyone behind will not be buried with him like this.

It's not that Hermione doesn't know this, her anger is not from Jon, but from herself.

She was hating her own incompetence. She thought that she would be able to help Jon with some things in the Triwizard Tournament, but in the end, everyone else had to rely on Jon alone.

Jon also hugged Hermione. He didn't say anything to comfort her. When the two of them could feel each other's body temperature and hear the hot heartbeat, words were actually unnecessary.

Hermione buried her head in Jon's arms, as if she didn't want Jon to see her cry.

It wasn't until she wiped all her tears on Jon's robe that she raised her head again and sniffed.

"sorry"

Jon rubbed her face.

"Okay, since you apologized sincerely, I'll accept it reluctantly, but no one apologizes but just says sorry,"

He was obviously pretending to be teasing, but Hermione still gritted his teeth when he heard it.

"I don't have any commonly used alchemy items on me."

Jon's tone became serious.

"You are special. You don't need to give me any alchemy items. It doesn't matter. As long as it's what you gave me, it doesn't matter."

His words were a little ambiguous, and Hermione was still pretending to be calm, but the uncontrollable blush on her face had already betrayed her true emotions.

"Then what do you want?"

Jon didn't make a sound immediately, but his arm holding Hermione became visibly stronger.

The night sky was originally covered by clouds, but at some point, between the two of them talking, the starry sky was revealed.

Suddenly, Jon felt that the moonlight tonight was really good.

The moonlight was as soft as a veil, Jon looked down, and Hermione was looking at him.

Those eyes were bright, reflecting the entire night sky, and reflecting Jon's eyes.

He could clearly see Hermione's eyelashes trembling slightly, and Jon's heart unconsciously accelerated with the trembling. He thought he would be calm, but no matter what kind of person, he would not do anything like this. Will exhibit the trait of calmness.

He lowered his head slowly, Hermione didn't close his eyes, and the two kept looking at each other until Jon felt that the girl's warm breath was much faster than normal.
The moonlight dimmed again, and the two clouds met at some point to block the moonlight and Jon's biggest gain from this trip.

　There are more in the evening. I won’t procrastinate the ending chapters. I’m almost stuck at home. I’ll try to finish writing today and tomorrow. There are about 5 to 8 chapters left.
