Chapter 261: An Unexpected Letter (Part 2)

"Dear Hermione,

Long time no see.

Thank you very much for your letter, how are you doing lately...... (100 words omitted here)

By the way, you're telling me to look up the information about the person 'Christopher Patrick'?

But I'm sorry, I want to ask if you made a mistake...... As far as I can remember, Durmstrang never had a student named 'Christopher Patrick,' and I went out of my way to check all the students of Durmstrang over the past five years, and I looked it up several times, but I didn't see such a name.

So, either you misspelled the name or this Patrick is lying!

In addition, Durmstrang has not recruited any wizards from Austria in the last five years...... Not a single one!

I can guarantee both.

Victor Krum

On January 10th"

Jon gently folded the letter in his hand, the expression on his face a little solemn.

His hands trembled slightly, and he even felt a cold sweat break out behind his back

"Christopher, are you still checking that letter from that mudblood Granger...... Pansy Parkinson on the side, turning around and smiling, "Why, you like her, I admit she's a pretty girl!"

"What kidding, how could Christoph fall in love with a Mudblood!" Draco Malfoy on the side glanced at Pansy dissatisfied.

"yes, don't make jokes like that!" Jon said with a smile.

At the same time, he put the letter back into the pile of letters as if nothing had happened, and then calmly looked up: "Draco, do you have any other new letters from the Potters, bring them here, I'll check them myself." โ€

"And a ......" Malfoy looked down for a long time, then picked up a letter, "to that Ron Weasley's...... It seems to have been written by one of his brothers, and it seems to be Percy Weasley?"

"Okay, give it to me...... I'll check!" Jon said quickly, then took the letter from Malfoy's hand.

Malfoy turned and shouted at the rest of the busy members, "Everyone, be serious...... If you find anything reactionary, report it to us immediately!"

The entire classroom was filled with the sparse sound of flipping through letters.

......

Half an hour later, the letter was checked, and Jon led the members out of the classroom they had just been in.

"I've found two breaches here!" Malfoy handed over two letters: "Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff, and Lee Jordan from Gryffindor." โ€

"I have a ...... here, too," Tiffany Selwyn said.

"I'll give them to Professor Umbridge. Jon took the letters of infraction.

Then he saw Bress Sabini carrying a stack of letters, wrapped in ...... Shabini prepares to give them to Filch for Filch to redistribute to the students.

"I'll do it. Jon walked over and said gently, "It just so happens that I have something to do with Mr. Filch...... Go to dinner, Brace. โ€

"Thank you so much, Kristof ......" Blaise Sabini handed the stack of letters to Jon with a grateful face.

Jon took the stack of wrapped letters, and then parted ways with the rest of the group and walked to the second-floor office of the administrator, Mr. Argus Filch.

Jon didn't move the way, as if nothing had just happened.

Until he entered Filch's office, Mr. Filch was not there, and as usual, he and Lady Loris were patrolling the castle.

Jon hurriedly opened his bag and found the letter that Krum had written to Hermione, which he had folded in advance...... Putting it in his pocket, Jon left a note for Filch and walked out.

......

Arriving at the empty Charms classroom, Jon was relieved.

At the same time, he was also a little lucky...... Luckily, the day after Christmas, Umbridge sent her members to help her check all the Hogwarts students' letters to make sure they contained no anti-Ministry or illegal content.

Jon kept an eye out for them to stay out of the letters from Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger...... Let yourself check it out for yourself.

With Jon's current place in the minds of these would-be Death Eaters...... Such a request does not raise any suspicion.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after receiving this task, Jon stole such a heavy letter.

Jon can also guess a little bit about Christopher Patrick's identity......

First of all, it was a false identity, secondly, Dumbledore must have used a very powerful Confusion Charm so that he could find out the details of this identity, and thirdly, the Confusion Charm could not change everyone's memories......

So, Durmstrang's faculty and students don't remember having such a name on campus that didn't exist.

It can be said that this time it was quite thrilling...... If the trio knew that Patrick's identity was problematic, it would be fine, as long as they didn't make a big deal about it, but if Umbridge or the other members saw the letter and let them know that Durmstrang and Patrick didn't really exist, it would be a big deal...... I'm sure I'll be suspicious.

Jon was almost hard by the trio this time.

There was one problem that made Jon difficult, though...... So, what to do with this letter?

Destroying it outright, pretending it doesn't exist? It's too risky to guarantee that Hermione won't write another letter like this, or that she'll find another way to contact Krum......

It's also irrational to use magic to modify the contents?, Hermione Granger is already a sixteen-year-old wizard, and she is very skilled in spells...... Ordinary changes are easy for her to see.

Or is it just forging a letter? There is still a problem, Victor Krum's font is not a good model, I remember that Krum and Hermione were pen pals for a while in the original book, and they must know each other's handwriting very well.

......

After thinking about it for a few minutesโ€”

"Incendio!" Jon picked up his wand and pointed it at the letter.

A flash of fire flashed...... In the flames, the letters were burned out in an instant.

"Looks like it's going to be a little more direct......" Jon muttered to himself.

Then he walked out of the Charms classroom.

PS: One thing to inform, I hope you don't post some more deadly or discordant remarks in the book review area or in this chapter.

I was reminded by the editor this afternoon, saying that there are a lot of violations in my comments, so I should pay attention to one point. And today alone, this chapter in the book said that it was about four or five hundred pieces of Dian Niang Harmony.
