Chapter 87: Night tour encounter

"Three Stripes!"

In the common room on the Hogwarts wagon, Lavender waved her wand and the mahjong in front of her flew to the middle of the table.

Justin absent-mindedly drew a tile while throwing away an East Wind tile.

"It's past Halloween, why Jon hasn't returned yet?"

"Professor Dumbledore said that Jon's return is uncertain, it could take a year or only a few days, if we go by a long time, he won't be back for at least another half a year."

Neville threw out a cylinder tile and gave an analysis to Justin and the other three at the same time.

Ron has a glum look on his face.

"What kind of task do you guys think Professor Dumbledore actually needs Jon to do? He's only 12, even if he did usually learn magic a little faster than us ... Could it be that he was asked to help research some magic?"

Lavender shot him a blank look.

"What do you think all the professors in the school are for? Even if Jon is smart, there's no way he can possibly research a magic spell that the professor couldn't even have come up with, no?"

Justin's originally breathless expression finally perked up a bit after Lavender threw out the tile he needed, and with a sweep of his wand, he pushed all the tiles in front of him.

"Hu!"

The mahjong game ended, but the four people who had moved up to the second year, including Justin who had won, did not have much of a mood swing.

The original group of five is now inexplicably short of one, and Neville and the rest of them haven't gotten used to Jon's absence since the start of the school year. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

The chandeliers in the common room were swaying gently as the wagon moved forward, and Ron looked at the new pet toad that Neville had brought with him this semester and blurted out.

"Maybe Jon's playing with a toad right now?"

Lavender threw out an empty paper cup and smashed it on his head.

"You think Jon would be as bored as you are!"

"It's pointless for you to tell me this, just wait til you go and explain to Mr Crouch!"

Jon had no interest in what they were talking about, and after hearing Dolohov's voice, he immediately wanted to turn around and walk back, avoiding the castle caretaker for the time being.

But just as he was about to step back to the stairs in front of him, there was a clear sound of footsteps heard above his head.

Someone was coming down the stairs!

Jon immediately stopped all his movements, he is now blocked in this section of the stairs, whether up or down will cause some movement, and the best way to hide is to stay where he is!

And it was at that moment that he saw the male wizard with greasy hair and a pale face coming down the stairs.

"So, what is the matter that you must go and report to Crouch?"

Snape stopped at the corner of the stairs, just less than two meters from where Jon was crouching, and he looked at Dolohov and the cowering male wizard who had just walked up the stairs, and asked with an indifferent expression.

After Dolohov and the male wizard saw Snape, both of their bodies stiffened, they did not seem to be too friendly with the Deputy Headmaster, judging by their ugly expressions, their attitude could even be described as repulsive.

But the two still maintained a basic level of respect.

"Mr Snape, it's just Quirrell discovered some sort of mishap in the library, and this matter is not worth disturbing your rest."

Dolohov's words sounded stiff, his words were spoken with respect, but one could not feel any semblance of heartfelt respect.

"My question is, what is it that you must go to report to Barty Jr." Snape raised his voice, looking at Dolohov and the other with a cold face, "Do you need me to repeat the question a third time!"

Dolohov lowered his head, he seemed obedient, but in fact, his eyes were filled with indignation, and the one who spoke up to answer, was naturally the librarian named "Quirinus Quirrell".

"The books in the deepest part of the restricted section have all lost their magic power, sir."
