Chapter 390: The Truth of Betrayal (Part 2)
"You said you were going to be discharged, and it couldn't be!" Madam Pomfrey screamed hysterically, "You're still very weak and need to stay in a hospital bed for at least a week." ”
Jon had been prepared for Madam Pomfrey's attitude, and he was just in the mood to give it a try.
"So...... Madam Pomfrey, can you keep the fact that I'm still alive......" Jon asked tentatively.
"Of course...... Professor Dumbledore has already told me!" Madam Pomfrey nodded without thinking, "The reason why you ...... I'm helping him with a very important plan, right? I know, I know what's important. ”
"Yes, thank you, ma'am!" Jon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Rest well!" Madam Pomfrey helped Jon cover up and strode out of the room.
Before leaving, she locked the door of the ward.
......
It seems that there are more and more people who know that they are "fake dead"!
Jon on the hospital bed smiled helplessly......
However, at this stage, the number of people who know this news is meaningless.
The purpose of the fake death was to fool Voldemort and the Death Eaters...... But now, Voldemort knows who he really is, and he knows that Jon Hart is Christopher Patrick......
Moreover, the whistleblower who leaked everything to Voldemort, Jon already knew who it was.
In fact, he could have guessed last night...... This can be confirmed after this "adventure" on the West Coast today.
But...... Still need to be confirmed!
After all, it was the truth that Jon didn't want to believe anyway.
Patiently lying on the bed, regaining his strength, while waiting for dark......
Wait until the clock strikes eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and Madam Pomfrey is asleep.
Jon got up from his hospital bed, leaned against the wall and walked to the door, aiming at the lock on the door......
Jon took out his wand and whispered, "Alohomora!"
The door of the school hospital was opened.
......
Using the Transfiguration Charm, Jon climbed to the eighth floor of the castle with some difficulty...... When passing through the corridor on the fourth floor, he was almost discovered by Mrs. Loris......
Arriving at the stone statue in front of the headmaster's office, Jon lifted the illusion spell from his body.
"Whew!" the ugly stone monster let out a strange cry, and then curled up in fright.
Jon gave him a puzzled look.
"I ...... I...... I listen......" Stone Monster stammered a little, "Just this morning, I heard from Headmaster Bock and Headmaster Moore...... They said you were dead, and they were still trying to get you a good spot......"
"That's the old version of the message. Jon glared at the stone monster as if he had seen a ghost, "The new version of the news is...... I'm still alive and well, and I still have a long life!"
The stone monster chuckled and wagged its tail, but Jon ignored it.
"Really...... You're still coming to the door with that guts!" Shaking his head a little helplessly, Jon walked past the stone monster.
The situation in the principal's office is no different from before...... In addition to the wall that was once covered with portraits of the headmasters, there was a large wreath that spanned several portraits...... Several principals around, are trying to clear it.
Albus Dumbledore sat down smoothly behind his desk.
"Jon. He said softly, without much surprise in his voice: "You actually came here so early...... I was just thinking about whether I should take advantage of the darkness to see you. ”
......
"About the giants......" Jon sat down across from Dumbledore, and then said with a solemn expression, "I guess the mystery people may have arranged them on the Isle of Man?"
"Oh?" Dumbledore gave him an intriguing look.
"On the beach on the west coast, you can see a lot of huge footprints leading into the sea...... Jon elaborates, "whether or not they left it on purpose, at least it proves that the Mysteries and Death Eaters brought the giants from the depths of the sea." ”
"Hmm!" Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully.
"With the sheer size of the giants, even with the aid of magic, I don't think the Mysteries and the Death Eaters could carry them across the entire Irish Channel!" Jon continued, "but if it's the Isle of Man between the Isle of Ireland and the Isle of Britain, then it all explains...... Not to mention, the island is not under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic, so it will be even harder for the Aurors to find the giants if they hide there. ”
"Good guess!" Dumbledore affirmed, "When your injuries heal, I want to go to the Isle of Man to find traces of the giants...... I'd be happy to be able to help in any way I can. ”
"Thank you, Professor......" Jon hesitated for a moment, but then said, "Also, I asked Headmaster Black to bring you news the night before......"
Albus Dumbledore didn't answer Jon's question directly.
"Jon, as an elder, I might be able to pass on some life lessons to you. He sighed softly: "Regarding betrayal, it is actually an extremely normal thing...... In the face of the threat of death, few people are able to keep the secrets of their hearts, except for those who truly have the courage...... What's more, many threats and temptations are more terrible than death!"
"I see, Professor!" Jon listened carefully to Dumbledore's words, and the corners of his mouth showed an indescribable wry smile, "That is, I guessed right?"
"Rufus Scrimgeur, Director of the Law Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore nodded slightly: "He went to Greengrass Manor with a dozen Aurors this afternoon...... Diana was taken by him to Azkaban and imprisoned!"
"He did so with Amelia's permission (Minister of Magic) and me!" Dumbledore added.
......
Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, although I have already guessed this.
But when Dumbledore heard the news, Jon was still filled with a mixture of disappointment and anger.
Closing his eyes, he heard Dumbledore's voice sound again.
"Also, Diana has something for me to bring to you!" Dumbledore continued, "She said...... She does not ask for your forgiveness, but she begs you not to be angry with her daughters, who are innocent......"
Jon nodded silently.
His teeth, already on his lips, left several deep marks.
