Chapter 459: Durmstrang's Graduate Nun (2 in 1)

Chapter 459: Durmstrang's Graduate Nun (2 in 1)

Jon and Hermione received extremely warm hospitality from the Delacour family.

Their trip had gone very smoothly, and they had found Gabrielle's mum, dad, and sister without encountering any twists or turns in the middle.

By the time they got to the midday meal, they also had the chance to exchange information with each other.

After the Delacour family had urgently escaped from France in the very beginning, they had initially settled down in Germany, and then the first thing they thought about was picking up Gabrielle.

But at that time Voldemort had already completely taken over the whole of France, re-correctional camps had already been set up, and France was in chaos, so the Delacour family had no chance of contacting any of the connections they had left behind in France before.

At that time Madame Maxime had also fled from Beauxbatons, and even if they had been able to contact someone, there would have been no way to find their youngest daughter, who had been turned into a ghost and entrusted to Hogwarts.

Then later on, Germany became unsafe because of the confrontation between Witching Horizon and Voldemort, and fierce bloodthirsty individuals began to create chaos everywhere, so the Delacour family had no choice but to travel further north, to Copenhagen, Denmark.

They lived there for about half a year, and it was during that time that the entire Delacour family became exposed to Muggle habits.

The worsening situation in the magical world had made them prepared for the fact that if it really came to that inevitable point later on, then their family would rather abandon their identity as wizards and everything related to magic, and just be muggles than be pureblood slaves.

Similarly, even at that time, this family did not give up on the idea of trying to bring back Gabrielle, and Mr Delacour tried countless ways to reconnect with his previous connections who were still in France, to try and get some information.

However, at that time, just before the Witching Horizon broke through the re-correctional camp, the war was at its most intense point, Mr Delacour's attempts not only failed to yield any results but also exposed the family's hiding place in Copenhagen.

They were forced to make a second move, and after this time Mr Delacour, as head of the family, finally made up his mind to keep his wife and eldest daughter safe first, choosing to believe in Madame Maxime's ability to provide good care for Gabrielle.

They then travelled to Aarhus, where they changed their family name and settled down for good, Mr. Delacour for the last time used his magic to give the family a false identity that would be legal in Muggle society, and then sealed the wands of all the members of the family.

They had begun to understand and become accustomed to Muggle's daily life, and even when they had been harassed in the first few months, they had called the police to solve the problem.

And it was under these circumstances that Jon and Hermione came to the door with Gabrielle in tow.

Jon also provided an account to the Delacour family regarding what had happened in the last two years in the wizarding world.

From the battle of capturing the re-correctional centre that took place not long after their family had just decided to completely cut ties with the wizarding world, to the three power struggles that began later on when only Paris and Beauxbatons were left in France that hadn't been reclaimed, and lastly, to the fact that Witching Horizon had now completely reclaimed the entirety of France.

It was only now that the Delacour family realised what had happened in the magical world when they had been left with no hope at all.

He confessed to Jon about his incompetence and how he had no choice but to run away from the situation instead of joining forces with those around him to fight back.

Jon, on the other hand, consoled him that at that time, when the Witching Horizon had not yet been formed, fleeing was the most correct choice.

If he really chose to resist at that time, then the Delacour family would not be able to make a single wave, and the whole family would directly disappear from the face of the earth.

The key to the French wizard's ability to fight Voldemort is Dumbledore.

Only with the top combatant who can fight hard with Voldemort himself, the Witching Horizon qualifies to call the shots with the two magical governments of Britain and France at that time.

Jon certainly didn't add himself to the list of these big events he was recounting.

But even if he didn't, Gabrielle, who had already wiped away her tears, couldn't hold back at all, telling her parents and sister all the experiences she had with Jon when she turned into a ghost, as if she were throwing beans at them.

To be frank, Gabrielle's experience was much more wonderful than most of the Hogwarts students.

When she was still in ghost form, she followed Jon to the North Pole, and that trip could be said to have been deep into the tiger's den.

It was also from her that the Delacours' learnt that the young man in front of them, who seemed harmless on the outside, didn't seem to be as serene as he appeared to be on the outside.

All four of them froze at the sudden address, and Jon froze for a few seconds before reacting to the fact that this address was calling out to him.

He turned his head to the source of the voice, a girl who had just walked out of the church, dressed as a nun, waved at him with wide eyes.

"And you are?"

The nun turned her head and whispered something to an older nun beside her, and then the old woman, who looked like she must have been in her seventies or eighties by some estimation, gave Jon a deep look and then turned to leave.

The nun who had been given permission, on the other hand, trotted cheerfully to Jon's side.

"Helene Rosier, Professor, you probably don't remember much about me, but you do remember my cousin Diane, don't you? I'm just two months younger than her."

Hearing her introduce herself like that, coupled with the title of professor, would make Jon certain that this was a student of Durmstrang.

Or it should be said ex-student.

The fact that she was only two months younger than Diane meant that they were in the same class, and now that Diane was supposed to be a graduate by the end of the semester in which the Triwizard Tournament was taking place, this girl named Helene should be the same.

The only wrong thing was that Durmstrang student came to Denmark to become a nun in the church after she graduated?

Although Jon was nominally a professor of Durmstrang, he really didn't know much about the employment options after graduation in this magical school.

Were the options this wide?

"I had a feeling that it might be you from a big distance away, but didn't quite have the nerve to recognise you, the last time I saw you properly was on the night when the Triwizard Tournament finally ended, and I remembered that you got younger in age due to some kind of magic accident at that time, and I didn't expect you to actually change back so quickly."

Helene was obviously a very enthusiastic girl, she had no problem grabbing Jon's hand and started talking to herself.

Jon, on the contrary, had the presence of mind to pull his hand out of the arms of the young girl, who looked like a novice nun, by lightly jerking his hand out of her arms.

It was only at this point that Helene seemed to notice the presence of others around her.

The little girl who was glaring at her in exasperation didn't look like a stranger to her, Gabrielle had been running around with her Ghost identity back in Durmstrang, and many of the Durmstrang students knew her.

As for Hermione, who looked like her facial expression hadn't changed much and was still full of smiles, but her eyes were slightly narrowed, she was even less of a stranger.

As a part of the students who had followed Vinda Rosier to Hogwarts Castle this year, she of course knew that the girl with the long chestnut-coloured hair and the duck-tongue hat on her head was Jon's date at last year's ball.

It was only Fleur that she hadn't met, but just by her face, which was an enlarged edition of Gabrielle's, she could guess what their relationship was with a little bit of brainstorming.

"Are you out travelling, Professor?"

Helene asked with an ambiguous smile as she waved her hand at Gabrielle, Hermione, and Fleur, the rest of the group as well.

Being able to tell that this Rosier was clearly not as serious as her sister Diane, and was definitely thinking of something rude in her head, Jon nonchalantly tapped her on the head in return to make her take a few steps back.

"We are here to take Gabrielle to her family, I don't know what kind of matters you're dallying about, don't be careless and fail to maintain the boundaries just because you think you're already out of Durmstrang, alright?"

It was rare for Jon to use his position as a professor to lecture someone about something like this, mainly because the students of Durmstrang were pretty much obeying Grindelwald, and they had basically all identified Jon as a professor, only after the Triwizard Tournament.
