Chapter 379: Daphne's Warning (Part 2)

An owl with brown plumage, a broad head, and a short beak...... It looks very normal.

It is the kind of eagle owl that is usually used in schools to deliver letters.

Although its current posture is somewhat strange......

Generally speaking, owls are creatures with a high level of magical intelligence, and they don't do such strange things for no reason, unless-

It's actually sending letters!

Jon narrowed his eyes and looked at the owl closely, it did have a roll of parchment rolled under its right paw.

That is, the recipient of the parchment was nearby, but the owl could not find him, so he had to make such a strange gesture in vain......

So who is the letter addressed to?

First use the method of elimination, it is certainly not sent to Fox!

Well, only ......

At Jon's signal, the phoenix disguised her breath as much as possible, and then flew higher and looked out into the distance.

Jon himself quietly lifted the "Phantom Spell" on his body.

The moment the spell was lifted, the owl had already swooped down...... Although it was not known from which crack in the stone the man in front of him had jumped from, he still threw the parchment under his right paw on the other man's face.

Jon picked up the parchment from the ground—

The handwriting on the parchment is very delicate, but it is also a little unfamiliar.

It was too dark to read what was written in the dark......

Jon waved his hand to Fawkes, and the man and the bird were once again enveloped by the "Illusion Charm".

......

In fact, it is not impossible to walk in school openly.

After all, neither Filch nor Madame Loris could patrol the edge of the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.

But out of "respect" for Fawkes, Jon decided it was better to be cautious. After all, the sudden alarm that Fox gave him just now made him feel a little uneasy......

The windows of Hagrid's hut were filled with light, and Rubeus-Hagrid could be heard humming a ditty merrily......

Sitting down under Hagrid's window, Jon could clearly see the contents of the letter in the dim light:

"Jon,

I don't know where you are, I don't know how to contact you, and I don't know if you'll ever receive this letter.

But there is one very important thing that I must warn you about.

Professor Horace-Slughorn (he's a new Hogwarts Potions teacher and former Head of Slytherin, and he's a nice guy), he guessed I'm yours...... Well, friend......

He said he had some way of knowing some of the more secretive information...... He told me to tell you that some Death Eaters already knew who you were!

They know Jon Hart is alive, they already know that Christopher Patrick is Jon Hart, and that the Death Eaters think you are the culprit who has cornered them, and they are trying to get revenge on you and even try to murder you!

Jon (this part of the parchment, a little crumpled), you have to be careful when you're out there alone!

Please, don't get into trouble...... Astoria ...... She's still waiting for you to come back!

Daphne Greengrass"

Suddenly, there was a loud sound behind him, which almost startled Jon...... It was from the hut, and Hagrid seemed to be frying something in the pan, a strange thing that was as hard as a stone.

And after that, he seems to be adding flour or something to the pot...... Hagrid looks like he's humming a ditty while expertly crafting the "infamous" rock crust cake.

Jon shifted his gaze back to the letter in front of him, the expression on his face a little solemn.

There is no doubt that Daphne Greengrass is something to be trusted, and she should not deliberately deceive herself.

The fact that Jon Hart is still alive has no intention of hiding it after the battle of the Mysteries, after all, he can't live without a head and a face.

The question is, why did the Death Eaters know that Christopher Patrick and Jon Hart were the same person?

You must know that there are definitely no more wizards who know this fact...... Dumbledore, Lady Greengrass, or the sisters Astoria and Daphne, none of them looked like they would betray themselves?

Jon looked at the iron ring in his hand with a serious face, thought for a moment, and then gently took it off.

......

There was another commotion from the Forbidden Forest.

The bald old man, who was as fat as a walrus and wearing a nightgown, walked out of the Forbidden Forest slowly.

Carrying a bag in his hand, he looked a little elated on his face...... It seems that Professor Horace-Slughorn can be said to have gained a lot from his trip to the Forbidden Forest just now, and even returned with a full load.

In the shadows, Jon looked at the name "Horace-Slughorn" on the parchment in his hand, and then at Professor Slughorn as he slowly walked towards the castle.

At this moment, he even wanted to go up and stop the other party and ask what the specific situation was.

But that seems too presumptuous!

watched Slughorn walk into Hogwarts Castle from afar......

After much thought, Jon carefully handed the parchment to Fawkes's mouth—

The phoenix glared at him with some displeasure, and then a small cloud of flame burned the entire parchment to ashes with great speed.

"Let's go, take me to the Headmaster's office!" Jon whispered.

Fawkes nodded and turned away...... Jon took advantage of the opportunity and grabbed her tail feathers.

A loud, echoing pop, like a gunshot, pierced the silent night, and then there was a flash of golden light, and a man and a bird in the shadows had left the place.

"Who?" Hagrid in the hut almost startled.

He hurriedly raised his catapult and pointed it out the window, and the fangs beside him were there, screaming at the window.

I was vigilant for several minutes, but nothing appeared...... Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief.

When he turned his gaze back to the position of the iron pot, Hagrid let out a terrifying scream.

Because, the rock skin cake in the pot ...... It's already baked.

......

Once again, he appeared on the eighth floor of the familiar castle.

Fawkes had already flown into the Headmaster's office first, and Jon tried to catch up with her, but was blocked by the ugly stone monster.

The stone monster was in an extremely bad sleeping position, firmly blocking the entire road, and at the same time, it also made earth-shattering snoring sounds from time to time.

It took Jon the strength to suckle, and finally moved one of its legs to make a way for himself.

"Really, it's just you, and you're still guarding the door?" Jon panted and shook his head, "No sense of responsibility at all!"

Then, he walked past the stone monster, pulled open the sphin-shaped knocker on the door, and walked up the spiral staircase.
