In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

  Chapter 98 96. Difficult to handle

  Jon retreated into the principal's room.

  His brain is working fast and calm now.

  The basilisk is obviously the first line of defense against the principal's office. If he expected correctly, the four relics on the table are the second line, and the three portraits in the room in the tower are the last line.

  The portraits in the magic world are all alive, and the portrait of the same character can instantly go back and forth between his own portraits at any position, without being restricted or restricted by any magic.

  Those three portraits have a great probability of being connected with Voldemort. This last line of protection seems to be just three paintings, but it actually represents Voldemort himself!

If he hadn't used the retractable eyes that Aberforth prepared for him just now, he just pushed the door and walked in. At that moment, the most powerful person in the magic world will appear in front of him. Jon would not even be given the chance to pick up the book and pen and run straight away.

   Facing Voldemort, even with Dumbledore present, it can be said that there is no solution.

  But Jon's current situation is far from unsolvable. After all, the three paintings have not received any alerts, which means that Voldemort does not know that his principal's office has been broken into.

   This means that Jon still has time to plan.

  If Voldemort came over in person, it would of course be a dead end. What if there was a way to prevent those three paintings from being able to contact Voldemort?

  Jon was thinking in his heart, and the movements of his hands didn't stop. He waved his wand to clean up the messy hallway and the stinky blood of the basilisk that died in the principal's room.

There is a basilisk guarding here, which means that Voldemort forbids anyone in this castle to enter his principal's room. Although the basilisk has its own consciousness and can choose who to kill or not to kill, the magic on its eyes is as long as It will be triggered by staring, unless it is Parseltongue, otherwise there is any movement at the door, it will use its eyes to see, no matter who comes in, even Snape, who is the vice-principal, is the same with it The moment their eyes meet, they die instantly.

As long as he cleans up the strong smell of blood, no one will know that the basilisk guarding here has been killed unless Voldemort comes to the opening dinner next year when the school starts next year, and it was made by a mudblood student .

   Just after Jon cleaned up the hallway and wiped away all the blood from the basilisk, a door opened suddenly sounded behind him!

  Jon's body froze instantly!

  The moment he heard the sound, his hand slipped into his sleeve, holding a bright red feather, and then he suddenly turned to look at the person who opened the door of the principal's room.

  Hermione stood outside the door blankly, looking at the huge dead poisonous snake beside Jon, and Jon was also looking at the panting girl who was obviously running all the way over.

   Difficult to handle.

  He frowned, and slowly loosened his clenched palms. Just as he was about to speak, Hermione was the first to react, and said in an extremely hasty tone.

   "Dolokhov came back early, he is looking for you now!"

  Jon reacted very quickly. He knew very well that if what Hermione said was true and he didn't handle the situation in front of him well, then he would have to face even more difficult things.

  He quickly patted the dirty robe on his body, and didn't use the cleaning spell directly, because it would be too clean and the suspicion would be even greater.

  While patting his robe, he quickly walked out of the principal's room, then turned around and closed the door tightly.

   "How long did it take you to find me?"

  He put away his wand, took out his invisibility cloak, and asked quickly.

  Hermione's answer was also quick.

   "Three minutes, I went to the storage room on the first floor first. I didn't find you there before I came here. Those stairs helped me, and it saved me a lot of walking."

   "Did anyone see you coming up from the ground?"

"No, I walked up the stairs along the corner in front of the dormitory door. They all thought I was looking for you in your dormitory. I made an excuse for you, saying that you ate bad biscuits and rotted your stomach. "

  The two of them have a tacit understanding and haven't asked why the other party is here. As long as the immediate crisis is resolved, there will be plenty of time to ask in the future.

  Jon directly covered them with the invisibility cloak. This cloak was big enough, and both of them were only 12 years old. With a small size, it was more than enough to cover three people.

  They just ran to the stairs together. Those stairs looked familiar to Hermione, as Hermione said, and they automatically led them down, from the eighth floor to the first floor at a fast speed.

   During this period, Jon took out the Marauder's Map. He couldn't keep staring at the map in the principal's room just now, but the map was always open before he killed the basilisk, so that he could check it at any time.

   At this time, on the map, Dolohov's name is impressively located in the basement.

  Hermione didn't lie, and the administrator hadn't noticed anything wrong at this time, and was still waiting there.

   Confirming that there is still room to hide, Jon quickly put away the Marauder's Map, then grabbed Hermione's arm and ran from the first floor towards the stairs in the basement.

  He put away the invisibility cloak when he was close to the basement, and then he didn't breathe steadily, so he and Hermione pushed open the door of the basement together with short breaths.

   Dolokhov stared at the two of them as they walked in, and when his eyes fell on Jon's pale face because he was knocked into the wall by the basilisk, he couldn't help showing a sneer on his face.

   "Eating expired food and feeling sick. Squatting in the bathroom for a long time?"

  Jon lowered his head "cowardly" and said in a low voice.

   "Hold, I'm sorry, sir, I shouldn't have been hiding the cookies for so long."

   "It's not your fault Smith, that's how mudbloods should be so they don't waste food. But I hate waiting for people, especially a mudblood."

  He stared at Jon with "fear" on his face, as if he would pull out a whip the next moment, but then he suddenly laughed again.

"However, your luck today is not bad. I'm in a good mood, and your usual performance is also very good, so I don't need to smoke you, but for the rest of the holiday, you will clean the entire bathroom in the castle." .”

   After hearing his words, Jon breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

   This level, he was fooled.

   "Yes, yes, sir."

Afterwards, he and Hermione returned to the group of mudblood students. Dolohov didn't know what happened to him today. He was really happy. He even called a house elf and asked the kitchen to feed everyone One of the Mudblood students is preparing a creme fraiche for dessert on Christmas night.
