Chapter 317: Weasley's Invitation

Chapter 317: Weasley's Invitation

With the majority of the school year spent at sea, the third years at Hogwarts have embarked on their end-of-term exam week.

Although most of the time was spent studying on their own, there was no gap in what they were supposed to learn.

The exam week lasted until the beginning of July and ended with a sumptuous end-of-term dinner, signifying the end of Jon's life as a third-year student.

The arena of public opinion in the wizarding world was still hotly contested between the Voldemort and Dumbledore sides, though with the Triwizard Tournament wager in place, the clash of arms had largely been eliminated in France.

The Witching Horizon have taken effective control over all but the French Ministry of Magic and Beauxbatons, and are also functioning temporarily as a provisional government, with a part of the administration re-structured by the French people of Witching Horizon to handle the affairs of France.

Except for the purebloods of France, who had already been purged, and those who had submitted to Voldemort's rule but had not behaved badly and received minor sentences, most of the other purebloods had gone into hiding in Paris, awaiting the possibility of their turnaround.

The list of those who had gone into hiding had all been recorded by Inishta, the leader of the French Provisional Magic Council.

Whether they had persecuted Muggles or not, they would eventually be liquidated in the strictest terms.

Overall, the whole situation in France had been stabilised for the time being, and because of this, they no longer had to hide in school and go nowhere as they had before once Hogwarts' summer holidays began.

Because of the temporary suspension of the war, the Order of the Phoenix had a lot of free people, so Lupin and Sirius were given the task of looking after the students during the holidays and could take them out around Lyon during the holidays, as well as assuming security duties.

Neville and Ron, who had families, were naturally able to go home with their parents for the entire holiday.

In the case of Lavender and Luna, whose parents are living abroad in hiding and have temporarily entrusted them to Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall has also contacted their families abroad, and they have been able to come to France to settle in, which means that they can go home too.

Little by little the situation was moving in a good direction.

After all these days, Jon had become generally familiar with speaking and living with a foreign object in his mouth, which was still a little odd, but basically made nothing unusual anymore.

Bill showed complete enthusiasm for Jon, certainly because his name had now spread throughout the European magical community.

After a month or so of festering, almost any wizard who wasn't hiding in the deep woods knew that a boy named Jon Green had killed two members of the Lestrange family, still in front of Voldemort.

That's why the story of Rabastan's death had been suppressed by the British Ministry of Magic and wasn't spread, otherwise, Jon would have been labelled "Lestrange's nemesis".

Bill didn't leave Hermione and Gabrielle out in the cold either, offering to help them move their luggage into a room with a fireplace.

With the Witching Horizon firmly established in France, the Weasleys had temporarily ended their hiding life in Britain and moved their family to France.

Ginny, Ron, George, Fred, Jon, Hermione, and Gabrielle were lined up in order in front of the fireplace, listening to Bill tell them where they would end up after using the floo powder.

"Burrow Number Three, make sure you don't mispronounce it, Charlie said it as Number One once before and ended up back at our old house in Devon. It took him a lot of wasted effort not to be spotted by the stationed Aurors there and escape back."

By the way the place was named, Jon could easily guess that the Burrow No. 2 at the front would be where the Weasleys had lived when they had previously been in hiding in Britain, while No. 1 was naturally their original old home.

With suitcases in hand, they stepped into the fireplace one by one, then read out their destination and were taken to the Weasley's house amidst green blazes.
