Despite Jon's repeated hints, Professor Sprout still didn't seem to have guessed that the monster responsible for the three attacks was a basilisk.

At least Hogwarts didn't officially take any overt measures against the basilisk...... For example, distributing snake repellent water to all teachers and students in the school, and having Hagrid raise honey badgers in large quantities.

Fortunately, as expected, Hogwarts seems to have returned to its usual calm since the Christmas holidays ended.

Except for Hermione Granger, who has been missing for a few weeks, there has been a lot of talk among the students, and everyone takes it for granted that she has been attacked. However, Madam Pomfrey made it clear that Miss Granger had only been in a transfiguration accident and not an attack, and that she would soon recover.

Now, the sun seems to have risen again over Hogwarts.

In the castle, everyone's mood has become optimistic...... Since the attack on Justin and Nick, who was almost headless, there have been no more attacks in the past few weeks.

There was also news from Professor Sprout that the mandrakes were growing well and would soon ripen to help the victims of the stone return to their original shape.

Jon was in a herb class when he heard her say to Filch, "As long as their acne is ripe, they can be retransplanted, and then, it won't be long before Professor Snape can use them to concoct the antidote, and your Lady Loris will be back soon." ”

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

Jon is well aware of why, and according to the original story, Ginny Weasley discarded and tried to destroy Tom Riddle's diary...... She is no longer under the control of the Horcruxes, so naturally there will be no more attacks.

And Tom Riddle's diary is now in Harry Potter's hands, and Harry has not yet mastered how to use it.

In other words, Hogwarts has definitely been safe for the last two months...... Tom Riddle could no longer use Ginny to open the door to the Chamber of Secrets, and the basilisk would no longer wander around the school.

Jon had been tense for half a year, and seemed to have time to relax for a while.

Gilderoy Lockhart, however, feels that it is his credit.

"I don't think there will be any more trouble, Minerva. During one of the conversations, Jon heard him say, "I don't think the Chamber of Secrets will ever be opened again, the criminals must have known that I'm here, and I'm going to catch them sooner or later!"

For some reason, Jon always felt a little weird about Professor Lockhart.

......

During this time, Jon spent most of his free time in the Room of Need...... to make up for the loss of more than half a month of Christmas and not being able to practice magic.

And because he knew the original plot and knew that this time was safe, he no longer deliberately controlled the time he went in and out of the Hufflepuff common room, as long as he didn't violate the school rules.

At this moment, in the Room of Responsiveness.

An Eastern European man, not tall but unusually athletic, dodging the attacks of several moving dummies in front of him.

His strength is so great that he can smash a dummy made of slate into pieces with a single punch.

The speed is also very fast, and the speed of 100 meters can easily run in less than 12 seconds.

What's more important is a keen sense of hearing, even if you close your eyes, you can know the direction of the enemy.

Sergei Pavlov, the most outstanding member of the 1976 Kazan training camp and an outstanding KGB agent who was awarded the Order of the Red Banner, was a perfect fighter with an almost natural body adapted to combat.

Jon had been transforming into him for nearly four hours, and he was now in full control of the body.

Two pistols, the less powerful one had been practiced many times, and with his twelve-year-old body, he could now use it to hit targets at close range with greater accuracy (the PSM pistol was originally designed for civilian personnel and female agents).

The powerful one hasn't tried it yet, after all, it's impossible to determine if the Room of Requirement has good sound insulation...... Otherwise, it would not be good for a gunshot to attract a bunch of people.

As the Eastern European man suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing violently.

His body began to shrink slightly, eventually taking on the form of Jon Hart, a first-year Hufflepuff student.

Taking the compound decoction is really uncomfortable, and it is very painful to suddenly elongate or flatten your body like a toy...... I really don't know how Barty Crouch Jr. kept taking it for a year and turned into Moody's all the time!

After a few moments, Jon changed his clothes and picked up his wand on one side.

Aiming at a movable dummy in front of him, a yellow orange light shot into the movable dummy's eyes.

After nearly half a year of penance, the eye disease curse, which does not rely on emotions, seems to be under his control.

Even if there was a fire dragon in front of him, he was now sure that a spell of eye disease would make his opponent extremely painful, and of course, being trampled into a meat pie by a mad fire dragon was not within his consideration.

However, compared to the eye disease mantra, on the other hand, the main learning content is not so smooth.

The book "Close Your Brain", which records the use of Occlumency, Jon has already gone to the library...... He has also memorized the contents of it.

For the last nearly half a year, he has been getting up every day, going to bed, and other leisure time, training his brain as much as possible according to what is recorded in that book.

I can clearly feel that I have made some progress in this area, but not much.

And there is the old problem before, no matter how hard you try, you can't know exactly how far you have trained...... After all, it is impossible to ask a powerful wizard to perform a dementor on himself to verify this.

Jon sat down on the couch in the Room of Request with a solemn face...... Occlumency, for him, was the most pressing thing to control.

Suddenly, Jon stood up.

One thing came to his mind:

Occlumency is not normal magic, it doesn't require a wand, and it doesn't require a spell.

It's just a mere intuition, a conditioned reflex.

Intuition is such a thing, and the compound decoction can be replicated...... For example, Sergei's fighting instincts, after taking the compound decoction and becoming him, he can completely unconsciously control those combat instincts.

So if you transform into a powerful Occlusion Wizard, will it help your understanding of Occlumency?

Jon suddenly became excited.

Coincidentally, Hogwarts happens to have an accomplished Occlumc Master.

"Severus Snape!"

The Polyjuice Potion requires the use of a hair of the transformed subject, and there is no doubt that pulling out a hair of Snape is tantamount to pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth!

The stakes are high, and the chances of failure are not small...... But the benefits are exceptionally objective and seem worth a try?
