The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

In the restaurant on the other side.

"John, Michelle, come here quickly."

After dinner, John and Michelle were just about to leave the restaurant when they heard the nun calling.

The two looked at each other and walked towards the nun.

"How do you feel?"

Before John and Michelle could say hello, the nun spoke first.

John knew clearly that the nun was asking about things this morning, and also knew the meaning of the nun’s question. He nodded and smiled:

"It's nothing serious. Grall has already received the punishment he deserves. I won't take it to heart."

The nun nodded with some relief. She had obviously understood that John would not retaliate against Graal in private.

But Michelle on the side didn't understand anything about the enigmatic conversation between the two. She touched her belly and said with a smile:

"I'm very full and feel really good!"

The nun was amused by this answer. She covered her mouth and snickered, then stretched out her hand to help Michelle, who had a silly look on her face, tidy up her hair.

"Okay, let's talk about something happy." The nun said with a smile, "John, remember what I said before, you will definitely have a bright future?"

John's heart skipped a beat, but he nodded calmly.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. I originally wanted to wait a while before telling you, but now that I think about it, I'd better let you know in advance."

The nun looked really happy and said to John, "You are 12 years old, John, and it is time to go to middle school. As for your future, I have prepared two paths for you. The first path is , went to Jersey High School for education.”

"Hey! Is this true?"

Michelle exclaimed, looking blissfully carried away.

This is not surprising, everyone at St. Brelade's is very aware of how valuable Jersey High School is.

However, John was not very excited when he heard this. He just looked at the nun silently with questioning eyes.

Seeing this, the nun smiled and continued:

"Mr. Oliver thinks very highly of you, John, so he is willing to sponsor you to study in Jersey Middle School. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. From what I see, he seems to want to adopt you! But personally, I still prefer you Go the other way."

"What's the other way?"

"Go to Canterbury! I have contacted a boarding church college in Canterbury, and they are willing to assess you. If your results are excellent, they are even willing to waive all your fees! I have full confidence in you, John , you will definitely satisfy them! You are a real genius! Especially in theology!"

As soon as he said this, Michelle nodded seriously.

In their view, John was indeed the type of person with natural talent.

The nun paid close attention to John and Michelle's studies.

To this end, she even spent her own money to hire teachers from the island to come to St. Brelade to teach John and Michelle.

In addition, the nun herself often instilled theological knowledge into the two of them.

John showed his outstanding learning talent in this process.

He can learn common knowledge instantly and can even draw inferences from one instance to another. Sometimes his questions even stump the teachers who come to teach.

This made those teachers praise him full of praise, and even claimed that John was a natural learner.

As long as he is given a good learning environment, John will most likely be able to add Dr to his name in the future and become a real doctor!

John also performed very well in terms of theological knowledge.

He had all kinds of quotations from the Bible at his fingertips, giving the impression that he had memorized the entire Bible!

Looking at Michelle's admiring gaze, John had a wry smile on his face.

The family knows their own affairs.

He doesn't think he is a genius.

The talent he is showing now is simply because he has the self-control of an adult and the learning ability of a child.

This is so commonplace that it is not worthy of praise at all.

Unfortunately, the nun didn't think so.

At the moment, she was even immersed in the fantasy of John's future, and murmured with blurred eyes:

"That's Canterbury, John. As long as you enter that school, you can make pilgrimages to Canterbury Cathedral every week! And with your talent, you will definitely be able to enter the best seminary in the future, and then graduate with excellent results." , and become an excellent monk. Then, you will go to the diocese, work hard, use your knowledge and good deeds to spread the light of God, inspire all living beings, and be elected as a priest..."

John shook his head as the nun murmured in his sleep.

The education he received in his previous life did not allow him to believe in God.

Rather than blaming everything on God, he prefers to use his own hands to create the future.

This is what he believes in!

Looking at the nun who was still immersed in her own world, John asked softly:

"What about Michelle? Is she going to Canterbury too?"

"No." Michelle said with a silly smile, "The nun wants me to go to Hogwarts!"

"Hogwarts?"

John repeated it again, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that this name was very familiar.

On the other side, the nun was also awakened by the voices of John and Michelle.

She looked at John who looked thoughtful and smiled and said:

"You guessed it right, Hogwarts is a school specially prepared for special people like Michelle."

"Witch school?"

"No, it's a magic school. There are both male and female wizards studying there. Michelle will enjoy very good care and learning conditions there, you can rest assured about this."

John nodded, and Michelle said enthusiastically as if she had thought of something:

"John, do you know? It was Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts who invited me! She is a real witch. I still remember that when she came to send me the admission notice that day, I called her a liar. As a result, she was a liar. Guess what? She just waved her hand and turned into a kitten!"

Michelle was still excitedly imitating Professor McGonagall's movements at that time, saying "huha huha" to help with the dubbing.

And John was completely stunned.

Professor McGonagall?Transform into a cat?

So I traveled to the Harry Potter world?

This discovery had a big impact on John.

Because speaking of it, his understanding of Harry Potter is at best to the extent that he has watched some short video explanations and knows some plots, which is not considered proficient at all.

'This wave is a bit of a loss. I should have found some books to read before I knew it. '

John complained in his mind, but quickly adjusted his attitude.

After all, it has happened, and it is useless to complain now.

"Okay, Michelle, remember what I said? Don't discuss this matter at St. Brelade." John was thinking wildly when the nun suddenly said, "The same goes for you, John, you know this matter. You know, don’t mention it to others. Those wizards don’t want their existence to be discovered by Muggles, so if they find out that you know about their existence, they will come to hurt you!”

"Muggle?"

"Oh, that's what they call ordinary people like you. It's not a good word. In short, remember what I said." The nun emphasized again, "Also back to the subject, John, did you go to Jersey High School or Canterbury? Mission school? You go back and think about it carefully, and give me an answer before the next ceremony at the latest. I respect your opinion."

John nodded.

Seeing this, the nun was extremely satisfied. She reached out and took the two of them into her arms, resting her head on her head and praying:

"Thank God for bringing you to me."

……

The nun left.

She left in a hurry, as if there was some crucial work waiting for her to complete.

John and Michelle then returned to their lounges respectively.

Among them, Michelle has a single bedroom.

This kind of treatment is by no means ordinary, but considering Michelle's special danger, in order to prevent her from doing something like "Killing someone in my dream", after the "Glier Attack", She was moved to a single room by the nun.

As for John, he slept in a large common room on the third floor with other homeless people.

The general condition of this so-called common room is terrible.

To put it bluntly, it was a large, shabby living room with a few iron mesh beds and large bunks made of wooden boards.

Even if a "powerful person" like John is in such an environment, the most preferential treatment he can receive is a relatively intact wire mesh bed.

When John returned, the common room was bustling with activity.

Everyone was reminiscing and discussing the taste of the dinner just now, which was already a rare meal for the homeless people.

Their interest was so high that John's arrival did not stop them.

John didn't care about them and just lay on the bed.

He still cares about Hogwarts.

If this Hogwarts is the magic school in Harry Potter, then it should be full of wizards and the powerful principal, Dumbledore.

If he really went in, wouldn't it mean that a mouse fell into a rice vat and could absorb magic power every day and enjoy it?

But the only question is, can I really enter Hogwarts?

In theory it is possible.

After all, like Michelle, he now has the magical talent to become a wizard.

But in fact, he didn't have the Hogwarts admission letter in hand.

Could it be that he wants to continue to stay with Michelle and then introduce himself when Professor McGonagall comes to pick her up again?

John always felt that this approach was a bit thoughtless.

He still doesn't know the attitude of Hogwarts towards him.

John was just thinking randomly. Time passed by and he didn't know how long it had passed. He suddenly found that the entire common room had become quiet.

He stood up and looked strangely, and saw Graal limping in.

The rest of the people in the common room were all looking at Graal with disbelief.

A hint of surprise also flashed in John's eyes.

Logically speaking, Graal should be locked up in the punishment room at this time.

Facing the attention of everyone, Graal seemed unconcerned.

He squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, came to John and gritted his teeth:

"John, the pastor asked you to come over!"

Hearing this, John narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and looked at Graal.

Being stared at by him like this, Graal's whole body trembled, and he bent his legs and almost fell to his knees subconsciously.

But in the end, he stood up straight with strong hatred, looked at John fiercely and said:

"You were absent from work for no reason this morning, and the pastor is going to punish you!"

John didn't speak, and continued to look at Graal for a while before calmly walking outside.

The moment their eyes separated, Grall immediately lost his strength, like a fish out of water, panting weakly on the ground.

Meanwhile, John has stepped into darkness.

But the direction he headed was not to the small building where the pastor was, but to Michelle's room.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to go to the priest.

The pastor never summoned him or Michelle at night.

The old guy even deliberately kept his distance from them.

It is said that this is the result of the nuns' efforts.

And now, the priest actually asked him to go to collect the punishment at night?

Maybe this is the conspiracy of the mysterious visitors.

He dared to say that if he ran there alone, Michelle might have to collect his body tomorrow.

In this situation, the best choice is to take Michelle and run away quickly.

Although launching the escape plan in advance like this is a bit hasty, it can only be done this way.

It was precisely because he was in a hurry that John didn't do anything to Graal.

Otherwise, with his haunting appearance, even if a nun intercedes for him, he will still be dead.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, John quickened his pace and trotted through the corridor, taking three steps at a time and then up the stairs.

However, just as he stepped onto the fourth floor platform, John saw the nun looking at him in surprise.

"Why haven't you rested yet?"*2

The nun and John said almost in unison.

John was the first to react and repeated to the nun exactly what Graal had just said to him.

While speaking, he also silently distanced himself from the nun.

Although he still trusts the nun quite a bit, he doesn't trust Michelle to the same extent, so he still needs to be vigilant.

After all, his presence here almost means that he is not planning to go directly to the priest's building.

What John didn't expect was that the nun was surprisingly angry when she heard this.

I saw her body trembling slightly and she said angrily:

"They violated the contract! God! They actually attacked you!"

"contract?"

John frowned. It sounded like the nun had made some kind of agreement with someone.

But what exactly will it be?

Who are 'them'?

The Mysteries?

John felt a little uneasy, but the nun hugged him and said with choked sobs:

"I'm sorry, John, you've suffered, I'm really sorry! If only I could have found out earlier, I have paid so much, but they actually..."

Seeing the sobbing nun, John felt a little distressed.

Nuns are trustworthy.

Of this John was now becoming convinced.

Because the kind of sadness that comes from her body cannot be disguised at all.

John sighed and wanted to give the nun a comforting hug.

But when he just raised his head, he was surprised to find that there was a scar between the nun's neck.

But unlike the incision scars on John's own body, the nun's scars looked more like they were drawn by a whip.

Moreover, the scars on the nun’s body have also been updated!

"Sister, your injuries..."

John asked subconsciously.

But before he could finish his words, the nun suddenly stood up and covered her collar, and then said seriously to John:

"This is not something you should know, John. All you need to know is that St. Brelade is dangerous."

"But……"

"No but, John, St. Brelade is dangerous! Really dangerous! Do you remember?"

"Okay! I remember! But you also have to tell me, who are the so-called 'them'? Who else injured you! I have to..."

John waved his arms and said angrily.

He was really angry to the extreme.

You must know that the nun's position is now very clear.

She really loves John as her own son!

But before he finished speaking, he saw the nun had taken out a short wooden stick from her arms.

The wooden stick was completely black, round and slender, but it was covered with a large number of golden runes, giving it a deep sense of mystery.

Seeing this, John's pupils shrank suddenly.

No matter how little he knew about Harry Potter, he knew that this was the wand used by wizards to cast spells.

So, the nun is also a witch?

John didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously tried to dodge.

But it's too late.

As the short wooden stick turned rapidly in the nun's hand, a dazzling white light erupted from the tip of the stick.

"Good boy, you don't have to go to the priest. Everything will be fine."

"Forget it all!"
