Chapter 4: Elf Education

Chapter 4: Elf Education

Jon's maturity and mentality that is beyond that of his peers surprised Lily, but that is pretty much everything.

It wasn't as if she had never seen a mature kid, even if it is rare, she knew a kid like that, the Longbottom boy who had lost his mother when he was a child, had always acted much more sensible than others of his age.

Jon's explanation allowed the only trace of wariness she had of him to drop in Lily's mind, and then, as she had promised earlier, she started to answer Jon's questions now.

"Is that guy Barty Crouch really a professor at a magic school?"

Even though the situation felt safe for the time being, Jon still felt a sense of incredulity over what had happened today.

Crossing over to a world of magic that only existed in fantasy is indeed shocking, but not to the point where Jon couldn't accept it.

But judging from everything that had happened today, this might be the same magic world from the novel, but it is definitely more than simply that.

According to that plot he knew by heart, Lily Potter in front of him should have died with her husband 10 years ago, and her son Harry Potter who would have survived in the hands of the biggest villain in the story, Voldemort, would later become the only hope of the whole wizarding world to defeat the Dark Lord.

As for Barty Crouch Jr, the male wizard who found him first, he is a diehard loyalist of Voldemort, the kind of diehard who will kill his own mother and father for Voldemort.

In the original fourth book, he impersonated the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and plotted in Hogwarts for Voldemort's resurrection plan, and although he eventually succeeded, he was also captured by the Ministry of Magic and had his soul sucked out by a Dementor.

Before that, he had been imprisoned in his home by his father, the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, who is also called Barty Crouch, by using an Imperius Curse, so how did he now become a professor of charms class at Hogwarts?

Would Dumbledore employ such a former Death Eater, and nominally deceased person, as a professor at Hogwarts?

Or is it possible that Dumbledore is no longer the headmaster at Hogwarts at all?

There were many questions on Jon's mind and the conversation that had just taken place between Lily and Crouch, though brief, had revealed many things.

Wanted, Real Hogwarts, Fake Terrorist Group, exile

None of these striking words slipped Jon's mind.

The wizarding world is certainly still the same, but something significant must have changed in it beyond his knowledge.

For example, if this Lily in front of him is really the one he thinks she is.

What about Harry Potter?

Of course, Jon couldn't just ask "Do you have a son named Harry" out of the blue, so he decided to find out more about the current state of the wizarding world.

And what was Dumbledore doing?

Did he just stand by and watch the wizarding world change hands?

With the little information he had now, Jon couldn't figure out what kind of changes had occurred to make the otherwise good wizarding world what it is today.

Jon raised his head and looked at Lily once again.

"And what about you Mrs Potter."

"You can address me as Professor Potter."

Lily's face remained expressionless, making it impossible to tell just how her mood had changed after hearing the title Mrs.

A small test, which didn't yield much result, Jon took a deep breath.

"Well Professor Potter, just now at the orphanage I remember you mentioning to me that you wanted to take me to the real Hogwarts. Is that also a wizarding school?"

"No, and yes, I'm taking you to the only wizarding school in Britain. That castle as it now has no qualifications to be called a school."

Lily frowned and revised Jon's mistake in speech, then continued.

"Seven years ago, the wizarding world was not what it is now. Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore failed to resist that man's oppressive rule over the wizarding world, nevertheless, we never stopped resisting under his leadership till now."

"The real Hogwarts is never bound to the ancient castle, and in the constant struggle to overthrow oppression and reclaim the equality of Muggle wizards, we have never given up on educating the next generation of young wizards properly and fairly. So even after leaving that castle, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which has been passed down for close to a thousand years, has never disappeared, and I am the Potions class professor responsible for taking you to school."

A silence fell over the wooden hut as Lily's words fell.

The bouncing fire reflected on Jon's seemingly calm face.

After figuring out the current gloomy situation, he sighed helplessly and finished off the cup of hot chocolate that had become slightly cold and sticky.
