Chapter 431: What's the Situation?

"What's going on?" Jon's brow furrowed, he felt something wasn't quite right.

The atmosphere in the air, not quite right, seems to ...... Somewhat cold?

Behind Jon, the tall stone reindeer, with a fountain that "spit" out of its mouth, splashed a few drops on his body, making him feel a little chill in this late autumn season.

At the same time, footsteps came from the bushes, getting closer—

Fawkes sprang out for her watery wings, looking in the direction of the bushes with her somewhat alert eyes.

Jon frowned, and as he pulled his wand from his waist, he asked in a somewhat wary voice:

"Astoria, is that you, Astoria?"

There was no response......

"What the hell is going on?" Jon was even more puzzled, who would suddenly appear in such a secluded place on Halloween Eve?

To be on the safe side, it seems like the Oblivion Charm will have to be used again.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the bushes—

It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with very thick brown hair, and her bright brown eyes glanced Jon up and down...... The expression on the girl's face was very confident and excited, even a little excited, and she said triumphantly: "Ha!"

"He...... Hermione......" Jon muttered as he froze there.

"I knew ......" Hermione Granger's voice lowered, as she glanced behind her defiantly.

There were people in the bushes -

Astoria Greengrass walked out of the bushes with some difficulty on crutches in both hands.

She stood there in a daze, looking expressionless.

......

"What...... What's going on?" Jon asked, stammering.

Why is the atmosphere in the air so wrong, awkward, subtle, cold, and...... Why did Astoria come out and why did Hermione Granger show up here?

There are 10,000 questions in my head.

"I knew!" Hermione Granger preemptively said, "Jon, I guessed you were in school?"

"How do you know?" Jon blurted out.

"I said it all, guess!" Hermione said with a smile as she began to wrench her fingers:

“...... First of all, Harry, who told me that he saw you at the door of the Gryffindor's common room, and then his invisibility cloak was gone...... Harry thought he was just having a nightmare, because in his mind, you were dying in front of him, but I'm different, I know you're still alive......"

Jon forcibly took his eyes off Astoria and looked at Hermione with a confused and puzzled expression, "I don't understand, Miss Granger...... Why should I steal Mr. Potter's invisibility cloak, I'm going to use the Illusion Charm myself......"

"How do I know, but Harry's invisibility cloak is much more powerful than the description of the invisibility cloak I've seen in the books...... Maybe you borrowed it for an extra purpose?" Hermione blinked slightly, then continued:

"Then, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore specially called me to the Headmaster's office just to give me Harry's invisibility cloak, which is quite abnormal...... I'd never been in the Headmaster's office before that, and Harry had always had a very good relationship with Headmaster Dumbledore, unless ......"

"Oh no!" the look on Jon's face couldn't help but become nervous.

Looking at this situation, Hermione seems to know and explore herself more deeply than she imagined......

Can't let her say everything in front of Astoria...... So...... So......

Jon clenched his wand slightly—

"Don't try to use the Oblivion Charm on me again, Jon!" Hermione Granger seemed to see through everything, and she said without fear, "Don't try to use the same trick twice...... Thanks to you, I have developed a good habit of writing a diary in the past six months......"

......

"How could it be ......" Jon smiled a little reluctantly, and his right hand, which was about to be raised, fell slightly.

"Headmaster Albus-Dumbledore, you are in disguise, aren't you?" Hermione's small mouth said quickly like a cannon, "The reason why you asked me to get the cloak instead of Harry was because Harry was so familiar with Professor Dumbledore that you were afraid of being recognized by him......"

“...... Half a month ago at Hogsmeade, Tonks also told me that Professor Dumbledore seems to trust you very, very much......

“...... Also, Professor Dumbledore had rarely been seen in the school chair since the day Harry had lost his invisibility cloak, and he used to find one or two meals a week to accompany the students, even if he was busy...... You're worried that so many people in the hall will be recognized, right?"

“...... By the way, Professor Dumbledore had vowed to give Harry additional tutoring, but since the day he discarded the cloak, the tutor has been Professor Snape...... If it was really Professor Dumbledore, with the importance he attached to Harry, he would certainly not be so perfunctory......"

"What are you kidding, Hermione!" Jon interrupted Hermione in a serious manner, "How could Professor Dumbledore be away from the school for such a long time, and how could I be the headmaster of Hogwarts at such a young age...... I thought you were smart, why are you so confused all of a sudden?"

Hermione was slightly stunned, and opened her mouth, as if she didn't know what to say.

"I don't know what happened to Professor Dumbledore, maybe he had extra intentions!" Jon explained calmly, "I admit that Harry's invisibility cloak was borrowed by me, um, and I, but I later asked Professor Dumbledore to return it to Harry, but I haven't seen him since...... I'm only coming to school to see Astoria......"

Hermione looked convinced by Jon, and the look on her face was a little hesitant......

Just as Jon was about to breathe a sigh of relief—

"Wand!" Hermione suddenly whispered, "Professor Dumbledore's wand, you've got it, right?"

Jon suddenly realized that what he was holding was indeed Albus Dumbledore's Elderberry Wand......

"Hah!" Hermione smiled triumphantly again, "Professor Dumbledore's wand is so unique, I will never forget it...... And, Jon, if I remember correctly, your wand was green, right?"

"I ......"

"Christopher Patrick's wand isn't like that either, his wand is black, right?"

Jon didn't know how to explain it anymore.

"If Professor Dumbledore hadn't asked you to disguise him, he wouldn't have even given you a wand!" Hermione Granger said with some pride, "and the bird behind you...... Crookshan, who has a quarter of a raccoon blood, was scared of her like this, it must be Professor Dumbledore's phoenix, right? Harry told me that Professor Dumbledore had a phoenix named Fawkes......

"Won't you hide from this stupid bird?" Jon cursed inwardly.

However, this is only an impotent rage......

Just as he was about to "disarm and surrender", Astoria's voice suddenly came from the other side:

"yes, so what?"

......

Speaking coldly, Astoria glared at Jon.

Jon hurriedly trotted over and grabbed her.

"Yes, you guessed right, Miss Granger!" Astoria dropped her cane to the ground, allowing Jon to hold her, "You're amazing, Miss Granger...... Now that you know everything, is that okay?"

As she spoke, she leaned into Jon's arms.

"I'm ......" Hermione looked at her breathing a little faster, and she looked at the couple in front of her, a little unsure of what to say.

"Hold me!" Jon only heard Astoria whisper in his ear with a slight ferocity.

He had to do it mechanically.

"Now, I want to rest, can you get away for a while, Miss Granger?" Astoria continued in her odd tone, "Now that you know all this...... But please don't go around talking about it......"

"Jon, can you carry me to bed...... I just felt a soft ......" After that, she didn't pay attention to Hermione anymore, but said to Jon with some delicateness.

......

Hermione Granger looked a little embarrassed and left.

Jon Hartmune carried Astoria to the hospital room.

"You're so good!" The girl on the hospital bed, who had just laid down, said a little unceremoniously, "My esteemed Mr. Principal!"
