Chapter 265： Fugitives, informants and dating

ps: make up the second more yesterday

Early the next morning, Jon had just walked out of the dormitory and came to the Slytherin common room.

Pansy Parkinson saw him and hurried over. When passing by Jon, she whispered: "Christopher, I'll take a look at the Daily Prophet. It's great. news!"

"Great news?" Jon was taken aback.

However, Pansy didn't reveal too much, but smiled and left.

But Jon soon learned what this so-called "great news" was referring to.

When he walked into the auditorium to prepare for a meal, most of the students in the entire auditorium were holding the "Daily Prophet", and they were talking very nervously... This scene was a bit familiar.

The situation on the faculty chair did not seem to be optimistic. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were in close conversation, and both of them had extremely serious faces.

And Professor Umbridge at the other end of the table was sipping oatmeal. For the first time, her toad eyes did not search the hall for misbehaving students. She frowned to eat, and from time to time viciously directed towards Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall...

Owl also brought Jon’s copy of the Daily Prophet.

Jon spread the newspaper on the table, and the front page was filled with ten black-and-white photos, the faces of nine witches and one witch: some of them made a big smile, some looked forward with disdain , And some arrogantly tapped the frame with their fingers...

Jon moved his gaze to the headline above: "Azkaban has escaped from prison, and the Ministry of Magic is worried that Black is their calling."

"Sure enough it's great news!" Jon couldn't help muttering.

Jon continued to look down:

...

The Ministry of Magic announced yesterday night that there had been a large-scale escape from Azkaban. Minister Cornelius Fudge confirmed in an interview in his office that ten Azkaban’s repeat offenders had escaped last night and he had informed the Muggle Prime Minister of the danger of the fugitives.

"It's a pity that we are in the same situation as when the murderer Sirius Black escaped two and a half years ago!" Mr. Fudge said last night:

"We believe that the connection between the two escapes is very close... Such a large-scale escape makes it suspect that there was an outside response. We must know that Black, as the first person who escaped from Azkaban, is the most qualified to help others escape. Including Blake’s cousin Bellatrix Lestrange, we think these fugitives may regard Blake as their leader."

In addition, Mr. Fudge warned the public: “However, the Ministry of Magic is sparing no effort to hunt for fugitives and asks the public to stay vigilant and not approach these important criminals.”

...

Ten photos, each with the name of the Death Eater and the crime of being imprisoned in Azkaban.

Jon's gaze was undoubtedly attracted by the witch among them.

Her long black hair looks untidy in the photo, the eyes under her thick eyelids stare at her surroundings, and a haughty, contemptuous smile appears on her thin lips... As a woman, most of her beauty has been lost. Azkaban took away..."

There is a small line under the photo: "Bellatrix Lestrange, because of torture tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom, the two were permanently disabled."

At this moment, a hand suddenly fell on Jon's shoulder, and he was startled.

Turning around, Jon saw Draco Malfoy's friendly face.

"Lestrange..." Malfoy pointed to the picture of Bellatrix Lestrange, and said with a smile: "She is my aunt!"

"Oh... is it?" Jon tried to put on a surprised look: "Draco... it looks like your house is really loyal!"

"Although I have never seen her, my mother always said that she is a very kind and gentle woman..." Malfoy paused and said, "I think I can meet her this Easter holiday! "

"Yeah!" Jon couldn't help but vomit, "You can tell from the face, it's very kind and gentle."

Malfoy suddenly lowered his voice: "These fugitives... They are the henchmen of the Dark Lord... With their return, the Dark Lord will be even more powerful... and our victory is only a matter of time!"

"I think I believe this too..." Jon nodded: "It's really a news worth celebrating."

"But we can't show it on our faces, can we?" Malfoy blinked at Jon. "By the way, Selwyn seems to have something to do with you!"

"Okay... I'll go and take a look!"

...

Miss Tiffany Selwyn was very excited.

"Kristoff, have you watched the news?" She could hardly hide the smile on her face.

"Yes, I watched it." Jon replied calmly: "But Tiffany, I suggest you don't be so happy...especially at this kind of moment, know that we are at Hogwarts~www. novelhall.com~Ok..." The smile on Selwyn's face narrowed a little, and then she said: "But I have another good news here!"

"Oh, let's talk about it?" Jon raised his head.

"Marietta Ekmore, do you remember the one from Ravenclaw?" Selwyn asked impatiently.

Before Jon could reply, she said first: "Her mother, Mrs. Ekmore, works in the Floo Net office of the Department of Magical Transportation. My father is her immediate boss... After the Christmas holidays, I have been through me. Father, is trying to pressure her, and now it has achieved considerable results..."

Selwin paused, and continued: "...she has agreed to go to Hogsmeade next Sunday and meet with us... When I think about it, she will definitely tell the time and place of Potter and their party. She is also a member of Potter's group!"

"Is that so?" Jon tried to put on a happy expression, then patted Selwyn on the shoulder: "Tiffany, you did a great job, it's commendable!"

"Then... Christophe..." The expression on Miss Tiffany Selwyn's face suddenly became a little hesitant, and she vaguely asked, "The day... After the interrogation, do you have Time to go with me to Mrs. Paddy's Teahouse for a cup of tea..."

"Mrs. Pattif Teahouse?" Hearing this familiar place name, Jon shook his head quickly: "I'm sorry...but I had something else that day."

"Did any other girls ask you?" The expression on Selwyn's face looked a little disappointed.

"Other girls?" Jon couldn't help being taken aback.

He suddenly thought of something--

Next Sunday, the day to go to Hogsmeade, is February 14, which happens to be Valentine's Day.
