Chapter 114: Good Fortune doesn't come from nothing

Chapter 114: Good Fortune doesn't come from nothing

Hanton looked at Jon incredulously from the secret passage.

"You're going to stay with Hermione?"

"Trust me, no one is going to stay behind today." Jon stared into Hanton's eyes, "Remember, take these kids and don't stop, keep going, go to the end where there is a flap door, open that flap door, and then you don't have to do anything, someone will help you get everything done!"

After he finished the last sentence, he knocked on the statue with his wand, and the next moment the entrance to the secret passage was completely closed.

And just as Jon re-cloaked the invisibility cloak on his body and walked down from the third floor to the ground floor, those pureblood and half-blood students also finished their classes.

The originally quiet corridor became lively, and the teenagers all rushed out of the classroom and ran downstairs gleefully.

No matter what the occasion, eating is always the most delightful.

However, just as they were laughing and talking in groups and walking down the ground floor, all of them saw a girl hanging in front of the entrance hall.

Her hands were tied, her feet were hanging in the air, her body was swaying helplessly in mid-air, her mouth was sealed with a spell by Dolohov, and she could not make any sound.

All the students who saw her froze, but soon these pureblood and half-blood students reacted.

Look at the linen robe Hermione is wearing, they all became aware of her identity.

Although these mudblood students will rarely run into them, they are still living in this castle, so they have seen a few of these "alternative" students, plus with what happened last semester, they also know that if these students make a mistake, what kind of punishment they will receive.

The purebloods were the first to react, they looked at the girl who had been hung up for public display, commenting that a mudblood is a mudblood, while walking proudly into the great hall.

Some of the half-blood students, like those people, whispered and laughed, said taunting things, and passed by the girl.

Most of the younger half-bloods kept their heads down, couldn't bear to look at the girl's miserable state, and left in a hurry.

Among them a tall, handsome boy frowned, as if he thought it is terrible to hang such a small child, and pulled out his wand to save her, but was dragged into the great hall by the students around him, telling him not to meddle.

All these people's behaviour fell in Hermione's eyes.

She did not cry, nor shed tears, at this point, she instead calmed down and looked at the people below while hanging and thinking, after today her classmates who had been rescued can certainly live such a life.

No need to do dirty work every day, no need to go through the slavery education, and no need to experience such a degrading gaze.

Looking at the map as Hanton and the others approached the edge of the map, he estimated that after three minutes at most, they would be completely out of Hogwarts' boundaries, and Jon also put away the Marauder's Map.

He pulled out Fawkes' feather from his pocket, held his wand in his other hand, and stared at the back of Dolohov who was slowly enjoying his steak, as he silently adjusted his condition.

It is easy to solve Dolohov who is defenceless, but he is not the only faculty member at the entrance of the great hall today.

People were coming and going in all directions, students were taking their meals back to their dorm rooms, and there are also several professors who are standing in front of the stairway and chatting, but Jon himself didn't just have this feather and wand in his hand, he also gained a certain level of confidence that he normally doesn't have from this castle.

Saving a group of people might be a hassle, but if it's just one person, Jon doesn't think he won't be able to do it.

A silent count reached in his mind, and just at this moment, a sharp whistling sound rang out throughout Hogwarts castle!

It is an alarm signal to indicate that a mudblood student has escaped from the school.

Dolohov went pale, he panicked and stood up from the seat, and just as he stood up, Jon had already extended the hand holding his wand out of the invisibility cloak.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

[Author:]

Don't scold me, don't scold me, I didn't intend to end it on a cliff, I just happened to write this right before the chapter update time, so I was forced to post it first.

I will continue to write, and try to update a chapter tomorrow morning, and the remaining two chapters are estimated to be updated a little later tomorrow, after all, I got to go to work on Monday.

I also believe that Hermione's inner monologue at the end of the chapter I wrote is quite good (smug face).

I'm sure I can't do such a noble feat personally, but I believe and respect that there are definitely people in this world who are that noble, they may not be saints, but just like the line in Shawshank Redemption, 'Strong people stand up for themselves, but stronger people stand up for others.', this kind of nobleness is great, isn't it?
