In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

  Chapter 78 77. Administrator's Office

  Afternoon class ended, Hermione and the others went to get the tools they would use to clean the bathroom, but Jon found an excuse not to go there together.

  He walked out of the classroom alone, then entered the mudblood-only washroom, and put on the invisibility cloak inside.

  It's already evening, but it's not completely dark yet. In such an environment, Jon just needs to walk close to the wall and be careful not to be spotted by other students.

   After putting on the invisibility cloak, he also released a floating spell on his body, which would make his next movements lighter and faster.

  Going up a staircase that Mudbloods were not allowed to step on at all, he met many mixed-blood and pure-blood students who had just finished class and were heading downstairs towards the auditorium to prepare for dinner.

  They were chatting and laughing, just like normal students living in an ordinary school, passing by Jon, but they didn't notice that a Mudblood that shouldn't be here was swimming upstream.

  Jon moved quickly. He counted the floors silently in his mind. It took less than half a minute to get from the first floor to the fifth floor. The place has become empty, and most of the students left for the auditorium.

   And just when Jon had just arrived on the fifth floor, Dolokhov happened to come out of his office. He turned over and closed the door of his office, and then walked past Jon and went downstairs.

   This is of course not a coincidence. During the three weeks since he came to the castle, Jon has observed Dolohov's behavior every day, and he has basically figured out the castle administrator's work and rest time.

Some professors have house elves delivering food directly to their office for dinner, while Dolokhov likes to go to the auditorium. He seems to enjoy the students who see him, bow to him, and call him "" Dolokhov".

  So his three meals a day are the same as normal students, and they are also settled in the auditorium. In other words, after dinner started, there would be a window of about half an hour in his office, and this was the opportunity for Jon to stare at for a week.

   Watching Dolokhov go down the stairs with his own eyes, Jon quickly approached his office door.

  The door was not locked, because no blind student in the castle dared to sneak into the perverted administrator's office.

  Jon carefully opened the door, and then closed the door again.

  After entering the door, he took the fastest time to glance at the office environment.

  It is very dark here, the orange sun that has already set half outside the window only shines in a ray of sunset, which falls on the dark ground.

   There are four or five cold chains and shackles hanging from the ceiling, making this room not like an office, but more like an interrogation room.

  There are no portraits of any people on the surrounding walls, which is the best news for Jon.

Portraits in the wizarding world are generally alive. The characters in them have their own consciousness and can communicate with others. If Dolokhov also hangs a pair in his office, Jon will not be discovered even though he is wearing an invisibility cloak. , but the purpose of coming to this office will not be fulfilled, and it will be exposed that someone broke into Dolokhov's office.

The various parchments on the desk were arranged in a mess. It seemed that the administrator did not have the habit of tidying up his room very diligently. Instead of looking at the things on the desk, Jon walked directly to the wooden cabinet by the wall forward.

Here are basically contraband Dolohov collected from mixed-blood and pure-blood students. He can't use force when dealing with students other than mudbloods. closed confinement.

  Jon began to rummage in the wooden cabinet. Even at this time, he didn't take off his invisibility cloak, and he was very light when looking for things. As long as he was sure it wasn't what he wanted, he would put them back in place.

The wooden cabinet is not very big, and there are not many things stored there. They are basically prank props, the kind that can be bought in the magic joke shop in Diagon Alley. It took Jon about ten minutes to put the two All the wooden cabinets have been searched, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

  Looking at the administrator's office in front of him, he frowned slightly.

   Thinking about it carefully, maybe his direction was wrong.

The thing he was going to look for was confiscated from James and the others by the former administrator Filch before the fall of this Hogwarts castle. Now that the castle has changed owners, the administrator has become If he killed an ultrapurist wizard, would he still keep what his predecessor, the rebellious Filch, left behind?

   While Jon was thinking, there was a sudden conversation outside the office door from far to near.

   "Is it really okay for us to steal things from Dolokhov like this?" The voice sounded a bit naive, and the voice line was relatively thick.

   The voice that answered him was familiar to Jon. He had met this boy before in Diagon Alley.

"What are you afraid of? He only has a soft spot for his shackles. He never checks whether there are any contraband collected. We won't be discovered. Besides, what if we are discovered? My dad is the office director of the Auror Command, and both of your dads also work in the Ministry of Magic, so he will lock us up for a few days at most, and will not do anything to us."

  The conversation at the outer door continued, and Jon had already gathered his invisibility cloak and hid under the desk.

  The door of Dolohov's office was opened again by three students from the outside, and it was Draco Malfoy and his two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, who came in.

  They were far less cautious than Jon, so they walked into the office like this, as if they wanted to steal the contraband that Dolohov had taken away from here.

   "Go to the cabinet over there, Goyle, pay attention to your movements, don't turn things over in a mess."

  Jon was under the desk, watching the three of them also come to the wooden cabinet and began to rummage, but they were obviously luckier than Jon, and soon found what they wanted.

   The thing was found by Crabbe. It was a blue ball about the size of a ping-pong ball.

  Draco grabbed the ball with an excited expression on his face.

"I brought it from home to school without my father's knowledge. Fortunately, Dolokhov didn't throw it in the first-floor room like the other mongrels. I don't want to go to the first floor." Find something over there to meet the Mudbloods!"

   Not surprisingly, there are two more chapters tonight
