In that moment, Jon almost thought Snape had suspected him.

But judging from his expression, it doesn't seem to look like ...... After all, he barely bothered to glance at himself.

Unbeknownst to Jon, of course, Harry Potter was in the Potions office peeking at the memories of his father and his father's friends bullying young Snape. With Umbridge in charge of the school, Severus Snape, as a double agent, naturally doesn't fail to guard his office......

However, there is still some distance between the school hospital and the Potions office, and it may be difficult for Snape to return to his office in time to stop Harry Potter's actions.

Umbridge, as well as the rest of the Slytherin students, didn't have any suspicions about Jon...... Instead, they were amazed that a fourth-year Slytherin student was able to use magic like "Illusion Shifting".

Although Jon claims that he was just lucky.

Jon Hart certainly wasn't thrust upside down by the Weasley brothers into the vanishing cabinet on the second floor...... He just used a "forget-it-it-all-it-nothing" on each of the twin brothers, so that in their memories it would seem like they had done it themselves.

When the Weasley brothers left Hogwarts, they told Umbridge and Malfoy the news in a humanitarian spirit, and Umbridge naturally believed it...... After all, she tried everything, including applying for inquiries from the relevant departments of the Ministry of Magic, but she could not find any trace of Christopher Patrick, who had indeed disappeared from the world.

So in Umbridge's eyes, there was only one option for Patrick to be stuffed into the vanishing cabinet.

And this morning, when Fawkes came to deliver the meal, Jon asked her to teleport to Hogsmeade with her...... He then used a few spells on himself, making his face pale and his body looking a little skinny (all of which were taught to him by Principal Phineas Black).

Jon then pretended to faint at the main entrance of Hogwarts, only to find him when Filch came to clean the gate......

The wizarding world does not have a systematic standard of physical condition, and healers like Madam Pomfrey rely only on experience to diagnose...... When she saw Jon's appearance, coupled with Jon's explanation, she didn't hesitate to open a large bottle of recovery potion.

Ostensibly Jon drank it all, but in fact, while Madam Pomfrey wasn't looking, he secretly poured it on the ground and used the "Cleansing Charm" to clean it up.

......

A few days later, Christopher Patrick was discharged from the hospital, and his body was almost completely recovered, no different from before.

For the past few days, the Slytherin Death Eaters have been visiting him every day...... Malfoy was also afraid that Patrick would have some psychological shadow, so he kept Crabbe and Goyle in the school hospital and gave Jon "psychological counseling".

This angered Madam Pomfrey, but there was nothing she could do with Principal Umbridge's approval...... Jon didn't think the two fools were of any use, though.

However, both Crabbe and Goyle are quite righteous, and they ask Jon more than once if he wants to beat up his twin brother's brother, Ron Weasley, to give him a vent.

Jon felt that poor Ron had really encountered an "unwarranted disaster", and of course he chose to refuse.

However, Crabbe and Goyle do not seem to take his refusal to heart.

The day after Jon was discharged from the hospital, Astoria also returned to school...... The students and teachers thought she was just suffering from an ordinary illness, so her return did not cause much of a stir.

Jon didn't find an opportunity to approach her until Monday afternoon's Conservation Magical Beasts class.

......

Just a few days after Christopher Patrick's disappearance, Rubeus Hagrid, a teacher in the Conservation of Magical Beasts class, was announced to be on campus by Principal Umbridge.

Because Umbridge felt that the sniff that broke into her office and caused great damage was put in by Hagrid (in fact, Lee Jordan, a friend of the Weasley brothers).

Probably because of his younger brother Glopp, Hagrid's class was getting worse and worse...... For example, the content of this class is about Thestrals, and the content of the course is quite interesting, but it's a pity that this class of students can't do it......

There were nearly twenty students in the two houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin, and none of them had ever witnessed death...... So Hagrid gave them a lesson in front of the air, making all the students dizzy (Thestrals can only be seen by those who have witnessed death).

Coupled with Umbridge's constant interruptions, Hagrid's face felt like he was about to cry.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Umbridge left the hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest contentedly and re-sprayed herself with some perfume, while Hagrid walked out into the depths of the Forbidden Forest with a dejected expression.

Jon looked at Hagrid's back in the distance, and whispered to Avery and Selwyn, "I don't think something is right with this half-blood giant, I'll follow him to see, you go back to the castle first." ”

With that, Jon quietly followed.

......

Naturally, Jon didn't follow Hagrid, but quietly made his way to the grove where the tree protector lived.

The little tree protector who helped Jon "solve" Hermione jumped on his shoulder with a smile when Jon appeared.

Jon shook his hand with it, looking behind him from time to time, and took off the ring from his hand.

Ten minutes later, Astoria Greengrass arrived as well...... She had seen Jon running towards the Forbidden Forest before, so she naturally understood it and made an excuse to come.

"Jon, I heard you're hurt?" Astoria walked over quickly, her tone worried, "Daphne told me you were missing for weeks before you escaped, and then spent days in the school hospital?"

"It's nothing, I just did it on purpose...... Actually, there were no injuries. Jon said calmly, while looking at Astoria seriously—

As Principal Derwent had said, she didn't look like there was anything wrong with her...... And because I have rested for a long time, my face is much more rosy than before.

Is it really that I am thinking too much?

"That's great!" Astoria seemed relieved, a smile on her face.

"What about you?" Jon asked with a serious face, "You've been in St. Mungo's been for weeks......

"I ...... I...... I ......" The smile on Astoria's face vanished, and she lowered her head, her voice slurred.
