Chapter 150: Do Not Disturb the Sleeping Dragon (Part 1)
Everything in front of me began to slowly turn dark...... Durmstrong's castle in the water is fading into obscurity.
But Albus Dumbledore's face was still clear.
"Prophecy!" he said with some understatement, "Gellert's proudest talent...... Although, the future he sees may not be all real. โ
Jon always felt that Dumbledore wanted to tell him something...... But he seemed to hold back again.
"Let's go, let's go back!" Dumbledore suggested.
Jon nodded.
......
In Dumbledore's office, there seemed to be an unusually heated argument.
"Albus should tell that kid everything!" shouted Principal Dalys-Devonte.
"That's Dumbledore's power!" Headmaster Phineas Black unexpectedly objected to her, "You're not qualified to interfere with ......"
"As a client, he shouldn't be kept in the dark!" argued Duris Devonte, "and he has plenty of reason to know this!"
"You're not going to tell him secretly...... Phineas Black said.
"I ......," Dalys-Devonte was stunned.
"You can't do that, Delis. A majestic voice came from the top of the wall.
"Oliver...... You think Albus ...... too" Dalyse Devonte was interrupted halfway through.
Principal Oliver Cromwell said with great seriousness, "You should know, Dalis, our duties ......"
"As portraits, our duty is to serve any of the Headmasters of Hogwarts!" Dalyse Devonte nodded.
"It doesn't matter who he is, what he's done, or what he's going to do!" added Principal Chris Evra, who was on one side, "Don't say no...... Because Hogwarts never makes mistakes, and neither can the Headmaster...... So Dalis, you must not disobey Albus's orders. โ
"Okay, I understand. Dalyse Derwent nodded solemnly, folded her hands in front of her chest, and whispered:
"Don't disturb the sleeping dragon. ๏ผDraco dormiens nunquam titillandus.๏ผโ
Her voice was full of piety, and respect.
......
Jon felt himself slowly flip over, and then he returned to Dumbledore's office from the meditation basin.
Dumbledore picked up the small crystal bottle again, and carefully retrieved the memories from the meditation basin.
"Can I go back, Professor?" Jon asked softly.
"Of course...... I don't think there's a place in my office for you to spend the night!" Dumbledore smiled and said, "Stay safe on the way back!"
He blinked as he spoke.
Jon bowed deeply to the headmaster before exiting the office.
Only a loud chirp was heard, and the big bright red bird flew over.
Phoenix Fawkes flew to Jon's side and gently touched Jon's shoulder with its peck.
Jon only felt a hole burn in the shoulder of his robe.
"Goodbye, Fawkes!" he said hello to Phoenix before exiting the office.
......
Alone, Jon walked from the entrance to Dumbledore's office on the eighth floor towards the Hufflepuff common room in the basement.
It's half past ten in the evening, and there are no students to be found in the corridors of Hogwarts at this time.
Of course, maybe you can find a Gryffindor or two in the corner of the hallway, it's possible.
Jon pondered Grindelwald's speech and pondered Dumbledore's intentions...... As he passed by the third floor, he suddenly heard a "quack" of footsteps coming from the corridor on one side.
Jon couldn't help but frown...... Is it Filch?
In fact, it doesn't matter if Filch is the opposite, he has a valid reason to hang out after all, but if it is......
"Who?" came a vigilant voice from across the hallway.
"Lumos Maximum!" Jon shouted softly, raising his wand.
A dazzling glow emanated from the end of his wand, illuminating the path ahead.
A familiar face appeared in front of him...... The hideous face looked especially terrifying in the dark night, and the terrible white eyeballs kept walking in all directions.
Alastor Moody appeared in front of her.
"Hart!" the other asked softly, hoarsely.
"Good evening, Professor Moody!" Jon greeted calmly, "I just got back from Professor Dumbledore's office, and I'm going to have to confine myself with him every Sunday night...... You know that!"
Jon deliberately pronounced the words "Professor Dumbledore" very heavily.
"Oh, Dumbledore......" Alastor Moody frowned, his expression looking slightly panicked, "You should hurry back to the dormitory...... School may not be safe at night...... There could be a Dark Wizard breaking into here, since the Goblet of Fire had a problem......"
"Okay. Jon nodded, "I'll go back right away." โ
"I've got to keep patrolling the hallways!" Moody limped away, his voice getting farther and farther away.
Jon pursed his lips slightly, then continued walking downstairs.
Walking all the way to the bathroom at the junction of the basement and the first floor of the castle, Jon saw a familiar greasy face again.
Severus Snape showed up.
"Is that you?" Professor Snape said coldly.
"Good evening, Professor Snape!" Jon explained, "I've just returned from Professor Dumbledore's confinement!"
As is customary, Snape must have had to taunt a few words, but nowโ
"Someone stole the powder of the bicorn's horn from my office, and the skin of the African tree snake!" Snape said with a solemn face, "Someone is preparing a polyjuice potion...... Try to walk around the castle as little as possible at night, it's not very safe lately......"
"Really?" Jon grimaced, "Maybe you could ask Professor Moody...... I just met him in the hallway on the third floor...... He said he had been patrolling the surroundings lately. โ
"Maybe Professor Moody has some clues!" Jon analyzed.
"Moody......" Snape frowned.
"Then I'll go back to the Hufflepuff common room, Professor Snape!" Jon bowed to Snape lightly and continued on his way forward.
A few minutes later, he climbed over the barrel and returned to the Hufflepuff common room.
There weren't a few students in there, so Jon greeted them one by one and headed back to the dorm......
"What a good night!" he said to himself.
Then, he lay down in bed, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
