Chapter 260: Regent's Mind (Part 1)

This was probably the easiest Christmas break Jon had in years.

Don't worry about Umbridge, don't worry about Death Eaters, and don't worry about revealing your identity...... The whole body and mind can relax and enjoy the vacation completely.

There's no pressure, and the food here is much better than Hogwarts, except that the seafood is usually a little fishy. This made Jon even a little reluctant to return to Hogwarts.

Eric ****** every day, watching Pound's "Social Control Through Law" or Rawls's "A Theory of Justice", and he often asked his son about wizarding laws such as the International Secrecy Act, and commented unceremoniously.

Judy was still painting, and although Jon didn't dare to compliment it, he had to praise it against his will, and of course it could be that Jon's level of appreciation was too low...... In her mother's words, she has an abstract painting style that ordinary people can't understand.

Everyday life is easy -

Either bask in the sun in the sunroom, go fishing in the bay, and learn "regents" with Professor Lockhart......

Gilderoy Lockhart, who can be said to be very fond of the "Oblivion Curse", tells Jon that he is not very good at controlling the "Dementor Mind".

"This magic is quite talented!" said Lockhart truthfully, "there is a kind of natural 'dementor' who can read people's hearts without studying, not even a wand, just a thought, and ordinary people like us have to train hard!"

The study went fairly well, but when I was practicing, I used the Soul Capture with each other...... Jon was able to see a bunch of things in Lockhart's memory every time, just like a live first-person view......

"It's not fair. Lockhart muttered, "Jon, you actually know Occlumen...... I also want to see between you and that little girl...... What's it called, Greengrass?"

"Don't talk about it......" Jon blushed and whispered, "Nothing ever happened between us." ”

......

Easy life is always short-lived, and as the New Year passes, the Christmas holidays of less than half a month are quickly over.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Jon embarks on a journey to Ajaccio, where he will return to Paris and London.

The Harts and Lockhart take Jon to the airport in Ajaccio.

"Come and see if you have time, son!" Eric said, looking concerned.

"Yes, you see how thin he was on the day he first came back...... "Judy agreed: "Now they are all stronger." ”

"It's a lap of fat......," Jon whispered, suspecting that if he stayed in Corsica for a few more months, he would become a chubby man.

"Don't worry......" Then, with a smile, he said, "You will spend another two and a half years here, and then you will be able to return to England!"

"Two and a half years?" Lockhart on the side asked with some curiosity, "How is the time so precise?"

"Guess what......" Jon quickly explained.

"Need any help, write to me. Lockhart didn't think much of it, and then he lowered his voice again: "When did the Ministry of Magic lift my arrest warrant, write to me too." ”

"Of course!"

They hugged each other before Jon boarded the plane and said their final goodbyes.

As the plane takes off, Corsica, the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean, gets farther and farther away from Jon......

......

Harry Potter, on the other hand, had a terrible Christmas holiday.

He spent Christmas in St. Mango's hospital room (looking after Mr. Weasley), then learned that Voldemort might control himself through his thoughts, and finally received orders from Snape to go to his office next semester and train in "Occlumency".

Harry didn't know what Occlumency was for, but he felt he would rather be possessed by Voldemort than be in the same room as Snape......

"Hermione is in the library, she told us to find her!" Harry had just walked into the Gryffindor common room, and Harry received a note from Hermione, and after reading it, he said to Ron.

Hermione Granger returned to Hogwarts several days early. According to her words, she had to go to the library in advance to check something.

"Go to the library on your first night back at school!" Ron couldn't help but mutter, "Don't let us rest for a while." ”

"Let's go...... Hermione should have found important information. Harry tapped him on the shoulder.

The two went to the library together and saw Hermione Granger...... There were dark circles on her face, and her face seemed a little tired.

"I've got that Christopher Patrick's profile!" Hermione shook her head and said, "He's a ...... Full of dark wizards' embryos......"

“...... In his first year at Durmstrang, he nearly blinded an upperclassman with dark magic...... By the time he was in his second year, he had become the leader of a small dark magic group...... By the end of the third year, even Durmstran's teachers couldn't stand him anymore and fired him!" Hermione said in disbelief.

"What, such a natural bastard...... No wonder Malfoy seems to have a lot of respect for him!" Ron said indignantly, "Professor Dumbledore actually let him come to Hogwarts!"

"According to the information, his aunt is Lady Bathilda Basshat, the author of our History of Magic, and she has a good relationship with Professor Dumbledore, so the Headmaster may be looking at this relationship!" Hermione explained, "but his behavior is quite bad, and Wickdor told me that Durmstrang has a high tolerance for dark arts......"

"Victor, which Wickdor?" Ron pricked up his ears and looked at Hermione with suspicion, "Victor-Krum?

"So what?" Hermione said coldly, "I can have a pen pal too!"

"Wait, Krum's words......" Harry's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Hermione.

"I see!" Hermione suddenly realized.

"He's not just trying to be your pen pal......" Ron still accused.

"I'm going to write a letter to Wickdor right now and ask him everything he knows about this Christopher Patrick!" Hermione ignored Ron, instead picking up the pen and paper with a serious face, "He must know something we don't know." ”
