Chapter 228: The Castle Under Surveillance (Part 1)

Fawkes was fully grown, just as Jon had seen her for the first time.

Now, there are no black or gray traces on her body, and her body is almost the size of a swan. Although in terms of IQ, it seems that there is no change from before......

Fawkes flew up to Jon's side, his long golden beak reaching into Jon's pocket...... However, she didn't seem to notice the familiar herbal bag, and shrank back a little depressedly.

"What's the matter?" Jon asked quickly.

Fawkes winked at Jon, and the long golden beak reached Jon's ear.

Then, Jon heard only Dumbledore's voice:

"If you have time, you can come to my office!"

The sound seemed to come from far away, but it was very clear.

Jon couldn't help but pout.

You said such a simple message, wouldn't it be okay for an owl to send it...... I had to ask Fawkes to send it over, knowing that I was in the Slytherin common room, and the stupid bird had swooped into the fireplace and almost exposed himself.

And on such a big night, you have to run from the basement to the headmaster's office on the eighth floor of the castle?

What if you run into Filch on the way, even if you don't meet Filch, it won't affect you if you run into Umbridge!

Complaining is complaining...... Jon was ready to leave for the eighth floor.

But Fawkes flew up to him and stopped him, as if hinting at something.

Jon had an idea and whispered, "You're going to take me there?"

Phoenix nodded.

She turned her back, aimed her long tail at Jon, and flapped her wings.

The firelight appeared beside her...... Jon quickly reached out and grabbed the tail.

Then, as if it was being dragged by something...... There was chaos in front of him, and only a mixture of gold and red could be seen......

......

With the sudden change in the vision in front of him, Jon found himself in the oval headmaster's office again-

The wall was covered with portraits of male and female principals.

"Oh, a Slytherin?" the familiar voice of Headmaster Phineas Black rang out in front of Jon, who looked a little excited.

At the same time, the portrait of the old headmaster looked directly at the mark of the little snake on Jon's chest.

"I think you might have a pity, Headmaster Black!" Jon smiled at him, then took off the Iron Ring.

"It's you, boy!" Principal Phineas Black said in a tone that sounded a little regretful, "I forgot what your face looks like." ”

"Go, Jon!" Headmaster Dalyse Devonte on the side pushed Phineas Black away, then pointed to the back, "Professor Dumbledore is waiting for you." ”

Jon nodded, and walked around the wall to the headmaster's desk.

Fawkes had returned to the phoenix perch on the side, her head tucked under one of her wings, looking a little sleepy.

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was sitting peacefully at his desk.

Dumbledore had a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand, which happened to be the one Jon had just seen not long ago, the page where Umbridge had been appointed High Prosecutor at Hogwarts.

"Are you still used to living in school?" asked Professor Dumbledore, looking up, gently.

"Okay...... After all, I've been here for three years. Jon replied, "What about you, Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"Not bad, isn't it?"

Dumbledore was clearly not telling the truth, he looked a little older and looked a little tired.

Apparently due to Voldemort's return, he was very busy during this time.

......

Dumbledore whispered, "Jon, I'm sorry to call you over this night, but it's the most prudent way to do it!"

"The most prudent way?" Jon couldn't help but frown, "Professor, what do you mean?"

"Got it!"

"Another one, throw it out!"

"Meow...... Meow...... Meow ......"

Just then, Jon heard a noise behind him.

Several of the headmasters, including Derwent, Black, and Foster, had their wands drawn, and in front of them was a kitten tied up with strips of cloth all over its body.

"In the next few days, several of these kittens have tried to break into my office from the portrait!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "It looks like our new High Prosecutor is interested in my daily life!"

"Umbridge...... She's spying on you?" Jon asked, grim.

He remembered the memories of his past life, in Umbridge's office, and the decorative plates with various types of cats painted on them.

"I'm afraid it's the whole castle, and you can find a lot of these kittens in the portraits of the whole castle!" Dumbledore explained, "Of course, the main targets are 'high-risk targets' like me, Minerva, and Harry!"

Jon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...... Fortunately, in the last week, my behavior in the castle has been normal, and there is no unusual behavior.

He also understood why Dumbledore hadn't allowed the owl to write letters and call him to the Headmaster's office.

That way, the owl could be hijacked, and when he entered the headmaster's office, he might be spotted by Umbridge's kittens.

Umbridge climbed from the bottom to the position of Deputy Minister of Magic...... The means and scheming are very deep, and it is not as simple as imagined.

So in the future, you may have to be a little more careful.

......

"What's the matter with me, Professor?" Jon continued.

"One is that you should be more cautious in school. Dumbledore said calmly, "Especially don't take that ring off easily. ”

"I understand!" Jon nodded.

"Second......" Dumbledore continued, "I heard that you and your Slytherin classmates get along fairly well?"

"It's okay......"

"I think a lot of them, because of their fathers, will fall to the wrong side!" Dumbledore said with a grim expression, "This is undoubtedly my fault, I think as a headmaster, I did not fully fulfill my responsibilities, did not educate them well!"

"I think it's possible!" Jon remembered the small group Malfoy had mentioned to him.

"So, I hope you can help them...... At least don't let them sink so deep......" Dumbledore sighed, "I've seen many tragedies like this many years ago!"

"I think I will, Professor!" Jon nodded solemnly.

"Okay, thank you!"
