On the morning of February 14th, Jon deliberately dressed up.

Walking out of the dormitory, Jon learns that Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle can't get to Hogsmeade.

They had to train for Quidditch matches (as Seekers and Bastints, respectively), and since several Gryffindor players were banned, Slytherin had never been closer to the Quidditch Cup.

Jon made it to the Great Hall alone, and after eating something...... He signed it at the gate.

Knowing Mr. Patrick's close relationship with Professor Umbridge, Filch was also very polite to Jon and did not embarrass him.

Easily inspected, Jon set out on the path to Hogsmeade.

......

Today's weather is not bad, at least not as cold as some time ago.

Hogsmeade was full of students, strolling the streets, looking at the shop windows, or even gathering to have fun...... At school, they are afraid of Umbridge's obscenity, and it is difficult for them to let themselves go so freely.

If they see Christopher Patrick show up, they choose to get out of the way.

It seems that Mr. Patrick's image as Professor Umbridge's "dogleg" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As he passed by the Deves Bans Store, a shop that offered repair services for magical supplies, Jon noticed a large sign posted in the window with several locals and Hogwarts students watching.

Jon leaned over with some curiosity...... The two Gryffindor third-year students around there hurried away.

In the window, Jon was once again confronted with a photograph of ten escaped Death Eaters, announcing that according to the wanted warrant issued by the Aurors' office, a thousand Galleons would be rewarded for anyone who could provide clues to the arrest of any fugitive.

"That's a slam on the door!" Jon muttered, "Blake's bounty back then was five thousand Galleons!"

And when Black fled, Hogsmeade was full of Dementors sent by the Ministry of Magic to catch him. Now ten Death Eaters are outside, but there are no Dementors in sight......

It seems that the insiders of the Ministry of Magic have also realized that the Dementors have betrayed them!

......

Jon continued walking, and in a few minutes came to the door of the Three Broomsticks Bar

You can see a lot of acquaintances inside...... Rubeus Hagrid sat sullenly in the corner alone, sipping a barrel-sized wine glass, while Hermione Granger was at the table on the other side, with two incredible companions: Luna Lovegood and Rita Skeeter.

As Jon walked into the bar, Hermione Granger turned to look at him, and then she looked down as if discussing something with Luna Lovegood.

Jon ignored them, and he came to Lady Rosmerta.

"Oh, Mr. Patrick!" Mrs. Rosemerta smiled rather sensually, and lowered her voice, "Your companions are still in the basement, but you are the one who came early today. ”

"Okay, thank you!" Jon ordered a butterbeer, then expertly walked to the basement of the Three Broomsticks Bar.

As Mrs. Rosmerta said, there were indeed only two people inside, Pansy Parkinson and Tiffany Selwyn.

The two of them whispered something, but their conversation came to an abrupt end as Jon walked in.

"That Marietta Ekmo will be coming soon!" Selwyn said with a look of certainty, "if she dares not come...... I wrote to my father and asked him to get her mother out of the Flyway Administration!"

"And what if she cheats on us?" Pansy Parkinson said suddenly, "if she lies to us...... Or just tell part of the truth?"

Selwyn couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, Jon suddenly took out a small bottle from his pocket, which was filled with a clear liquid.

Under the astonished gaze of Pansy Parkinson and Tiffany Selwyn, Jon opened the vial and dropped three drops of the liquid into the glass of Butterbeer he had just brought with him.

Christophe ...... Is this ......," Pansy asked, somewhat surprised.

"Truth Elixir ......," Jon replied calmly, "it only takes three drops for the taker to tell all the secrets in her heart." ”

The two Slytherin girls looked at each other.

"I've heard that this is a very, very high-grade potion...... Selwyn whispered, "it's precious...... And it is under the strict control of the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Christopher, is this what you deserve?" Pansy looked at Jon incredulously.

"This can't be!" it was Selwyn who spoke, "Kristoff's grades in Potions class are not that good, and this can be said to be his only shortcoming!"

"At Durmstrang, I got it by chance. Jon explained, "I suggest you don't tell anyone about its existence, especially Professor Umbridge...... It's precious, and I don't want it to be used for Professor Umbridge, interrogating people who aren't useful. ”

"Of course!" Pansy Parkinson and Tiffany Selwyn both smiled and nodded.

......

The members rushed to the place one by one, and Jon sat in the innermost seat, lost in thought.

According to the original plot, Marietta Ekmo would be forced to tell all about the other by the Death Eaters.

However, Hermione Granger enchanted the signed parchment, causing her face to grow dense purple pus, spelling out the words "informant".

In fifth grade, Hermione was already a very good witch at spells, and she was very good at magic on parchment, and as far back as she could remember, more than twenty years later, the purple pustules on Miss Ekmore's face could not be erased, and could only be barely covered with foundation.

This kind of scar is undoubtedly a lifelong pain for a woman.

Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with Hermione's behavior...... Since you have signed a contract and dare to tell the truth, you will have to pay the price.

But Jon felt that because of such a small mistake, a girl would be disfigured for life...... It's a little too cruel.

If it was Dumbledore, he would have been more forgiving and would have given Marietta Ecomo a second chance......

So Jon took out the truth spitting potion and telling the truth under the effect of the truth spitting potion was not a breach of contract, and those purple pus would not grow on her face.

......

Thinking about it, Jon couldn't help but smile.

I don't know when I started thinking from Dumbledore's point of view?

What is this, is it a sight to hear?
