Chapter 234: Revealing the Future (Part 1)
Jon quickly stood up, trying to make his expression look more serious.
He bent down slightly, bowed to Draco Malfoy, and spoke, "I think I'm honored, Draco." β
A smile appeared on Malfoy's face, and he quickly reached out and helped Jon up, and said with some excitement, "Welcome, Christophe...... Welcome to the Knights of Walples!"
Everyone at the round table stood up one after another and lined up.
They hugged Jon in turn.
"It's quite ritualistic...... Jon thought to himself.
When I hugged those girls, I felt pretty good......
But when it was Crabbe's turn and Goyle's turn to hug him, it wasn't so good.
Especially these two are innocent, and they seem to be extraordinarily enthusiastic.
After all, they are already "friends" on the Hogwarts Express.
After the ceremony to welcome the newlywedsβ
"Now, you're one of us!" Malfoy patted Jon on the shoulder, then motioned for everyone to sit back in their seats.
......
Crabbe and Goyle went to the bar and grabbed some butterbeer and mead.
Then, the Slytherin Death Eaters began to drink and talk happily.
"Isn't that Umbridge really from our side?" asked Bress Shabini, holding a glass in one hand.
"I asked my father, and he told me that he wasn't on the Death Eater list. Malfoy replied.
"Then she's a great sage!" Pansy Parkinson said in her trademark duck voice, and then burst into laughter.
"Umbridge is Fudge's man!. Malfoy continued: "She is arguably our dear minister, our most trusted subordinate...... Fudge felt that Dumbledore's promotion of the Dark Lord's return was to secure his position as minister, so he sent her to Hogwarts to spy on Dumbledore and his school...... At the same time, Fudge wanted to find Dumbledore's handle and throw him into Azkaban. β
"Our dear minister is indeed a great saint too!" chimed Pansy Parkinson's singing.
"Alright, Pansy!" Malfoy waved his finger at her, then continued, "My father's opinion is that let's take the initiative to help that Umbridge and reduce the resistance she encounters at Hogwarts!"
"Why do you want to help her?" asked Gergory Gower on the side, a little puzzled.
"Goyle, you idiot!" Bress Shabini shook his head helplessly, "If that Umbridge can get Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, or go one step further and imprison Dumbledore in Azkaban...... That's a great benefit to the Dark Lord's plans!"
Goyle nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Dumbledore isn't that easy to deal with!" Jon said casually.
Looking at the eyes of several members of the Knights of Walpleth, Jon shrugged his shoulders and added, "Based on what the Chocolate Frog card says about him, that's how I understand it!"
"Christopher is right!" Malfoy nodded thoughtfully, "Dumbledore is an old fox, and sometimes the Dark Lord is afraid of him......"
"But in the end, it will be the Dark Lord who wins!" Jon raised his glass and shouted, "Cheers!"
"Yes, the Dark Lord will win!" Malfoy said solemnly, raising his glass.
"Cheers!" more than a dozen students hurriedly picked up their glasses and cheered, "The Dark Lord will win." β
......
However, the group here are still fourteen or fifteen-year-olds.
After a brief formal discussion, they started chattering about other topics.
"What will you do if the Dark Lord is in power?" Malfoy casually asked.
"I'll take a few young Muggles to Selwyn Manor. Tiffany Selwyn thought for a moment and said, "Train them to be house-elves and servants to my grandmother...... Her legs and feet have not been very dexterous all these years. β
Her handsome face showed a cruelty that did not belong to this age.
"I should be graduating from Hogwarts by then!" Crabbe scratched his head, "Maybe I can apply for a position as a teacher at Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts...... Then I'll teach the students how to use the Unforgivable Charm on Muggles!"
"Crabbe, do you still want to be a teacher?" I don't know who said, and then there was a burst of laughter from the basement.
"Why are you all thinking about Muggles!" Pansy Parkinson screamed, "Shouldn't it be the mudbloods that are more hateful......"
A look of hatred on her horse's face: "That Gryffindor Granger, damn mudblood...... When the Dark Lord succeeds in taking power, I'm sure I'll have her captured and tortured to death......"
"Alright, Pansy!" Malfoy frowned slightly, and he turned to look at Jon:
"Kristoff, do you have any ideas...... The Dark Lord will surely welcome you back to England to assist in his cause!"
"Me?" Jon picked up the glass filled with mead and took a sip, a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.
......
"I don't have anything I want to do. Jon said calmly, "However, if you want to see what the Dark Lord holds in the future, I can show you." β
"If you want to believe it!" Jon added.
"Future!"
The round table, which had been a little noisy just now, fell completely silent for a moment.
A dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on Jon.
If someone else had said it, they would have seen it as a joke......
But now, it's Christopher Patrick who says it.
In his divination class, he fully demonstrated his outstanding talent for prophecy...... Even Professor Trelawney's ability to prophesy, the vast majority of the students here believe that he is far worse than Patrick.
"Of course, we believe you!" Malfoy nodded, "I told my father about your prophecy...... Even he thinks highly of you. β
"That's good!" Jon casually took out a small silver octahedral box from his pocket, "Then you have a good look!"
That seemingly ordinary little box suddenly bloomed with a strong light-
Everyone present couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands.
to adapt to this bright light.
PS: I came back late, and the update will be late, at least 3-4 more today.
