Chapter 101: Defense Professor's Office

Chapter 101: Defense Professor's Office

Hanton was a little puzzled why Jon's reaction suddenly became so dramatic, but in the end, not everyone has Hermione's careful observation and keen intuition, and he didn't ask anything else, but simply replied to Jon's query.

"At the beginning of Christmas break, Mr Dolohov asked some of us to clean the area in front of the school gate. You weren't assigned to it at the time, it was Ariel and me who went over there together, and that's when we saw the two Professor Carrow carrying their suitcases and looking like they were getting ready to go home together. We haven't seen them at the school since, so I guess they won't be back until the school year starts."

Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor's office is also a target of Jon's arrival at Hogwarts Castle.

It's just that he hadn't been able to find any opportunity to sneak in before, the current defence class professor, Amycus Carrow basically doesn't leave his office much, and during the day during his class time Jon needs to stay with the other mudblood students, sneaking out alone would easily let Dolohov discover the issue.

After the start of the Christmas holidays, his attention has been placed on how to kill the Basilisk and enter the Headmaster's office, which is why he has overlooked monitoring the Defense class professor's office, in fact, if he had been more careful, he would have found out that the Defense class professor's office had been empty for a while, and the brother and sister of the Carrow family had left Hogwarts Castle at the start of the Christmas holidays this year.

After all, they are professors with a family, unlike Snape who lost his parents while he was young, and Barty Jr. who killed his own father, both have no home to return to for the holidays every year.

But now that Jon had been reminded of this by Hanton, it wasn't too late to find out. There is still close to a week left in the holidays, and there are enough days for him to get in and out of that defence class office a few dozen times.

"Thank you, Hanton, this pumpkin juice of mine is all yours."

Jon shoved a serving of pumpkin juice he hadn't touched into Hanton's hand, which brought a bewildered look to the young boy's face, not knowing exactly what he had helped him with.

The snow that fell on Christmas Day still hasn't melted to this day.

The night at Hogwarts Castle is very cold, Jon put on all the clothes, then put on the invisibility cloak, took the opened Marauder's Map and left the underground dormitory.

The office of the Defense class professor was located on the second floor of the castle, and Barty Jr.'s Charms class office was just one room away. This seemed to be the place where Jon had to pay more attention tonight, to avoid making too much noise, so as not to disturb the "dutiful son" of the magical world.

The wooden box has a lock, but not locked, Jon did not hesitate to open the box directly, which was full of rolled-up parchment.

He opened the cloth bag which had been enchanted with the Undetectable Extension Charm and put all these materials into the bag.

In the process of storing up the materials he showed considerable attention, but until he finished taking up all the contents of the box, he did not see any shadows related to the stone of the ring.

This made Jon could not help but frown, but he did not continue to stay in this office much longer, after making sure that nothing was missing, he restored the wooden floor to its original state, put on the cloak of invisibility and left the place.

There were no surprises on the way, and he returned safely to his dormitory. When he returned, he spread out the Marauder's Map on the side of his bed, lit the candle, and began to take out the materials he had brought back, one by one.

It is true that Adrien's notes only recorded that he had hidden part of the relevant materials in his office, but did not say that the gems were also in the same place.

But since Slughorn clearly told Jon that there is a gem in Hogwarts castle, then this matter should not be a mistake, only that Adrien did not put his research and the gem together.

Jon was not overly discouraged, and by the faint light of the candle, he began to go through the hidden magical materials little by little, hoping to find some clues from them.

Just when he saw what these magic notes were actually about, his entire attention was drawn to the contents on it.
