Jon stared at Dolohov's back, and at the same time glanced at the school doctor Lestrange who was walking towards him from the corner of his eye, looking like he had something to discuss.
Unobtrusively, Jon shook his head at Hermione, who was also waiting.
Hermione pursed her lips and turned around from outside the iron door of the underground dormitory and returned to the iron door. She and Jon landed at the end of the line of Mudblood students and walked back to their dormitory.
"We'll talk about it in the evening." Jon whispered next to Hermione in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Hermione didn't speak, but nodded looking a little disappointed.
Dolohov, who was not aware of their little moves at all, was listening to Lestrange's invitation.
"...You know, if you hadn't made a big splash at the Christmas dinner, Mr. Crouch wouldn't have extended an invitation to you. In previous years, when our card club got together, there were only a few people from the same twenty-eight family.
Just a professor."
A smile appeared on Dolokhov's face. He knew that because of Voldemort's words at the dinner that day, he had actually squeezed into the innermost pure-blood circle.
"Of course, I have always longed for the club founded by Mr. Crouch, but... you know, I didn't have much chance before. When will the party be held?"
"It was originally scheduled for Friday night, but the Carlo brothers and sisters were going home to celebrate their mother's birthday that day, and they would spend the weekend at home. Mr. Crouch arranged the time, and several of their professors met on Thursday
There are no classes at all. Mr. Crouch himself does have a Charms class, but it is in the afternoon, so the meeting time is scheduled to 9 o'clock on Wednesday night."
Lestrange looked at Dolohov and reminded.
"I know you have to patrol after 8 o'clock every day. Please don't be late when you notice. Some other people were not satisfied with the original invitation to you."
Dolokhov asked hesitantly.
"The professors don't have classes on Thursday, but I have to work during the day... Will the party be held all night?"
"We usually play cards all night long. If you have something else to do during the day, there is a room above the Three Broomsticks Bar where you can rest. We have known each other for so many years. Don't blame me for not reminding you that you want to rest.
Yes, but you have to pay attention to the occasion and don't spoil everyone's interest, otherwise this will be your first time attending a rally and it may also be your last."
"You don't need to remind me, I'm not that ignorant of the world."
They walked out of the basement while chatting, and then parted ways at the stairs on the first floor.
Dolokhov was in a better mood than ever before. He returned to his office humming a little tune, feeling that his future was promising after last year's Christmas dinner.
It's quiet at night.
In Hermione's dormitory, Jon said solemnly.
"This kind of thing cannot be done by force. If an accident occurs during the attack on Dolohov and is discovered by others, it will be equivalent to wasting all our efforts and we will not even have a chance to fight for the last time."
Today has arrived, the Tuesday of the week agreed with Dumbledore, and the only feasible way Jon can think of now is with Dolohov, the castle administrator.
In fact, his main responsibility in managing the castle is to take care of the Mudblood students. As long as Jon can find a way to deal with him, and then use Polyjuice Potion to become him, then he can give him a child at noon on Thursday.
The second-year Mudblood student is assigned a cleaning job on the third floor of the castle, and then finds the right time to take everyone out of the castle without anyone noticing.
But the difficulty in this matter is how to deal with Dolokhov without alerting anyone else.
In terms of strength, Jon is definitely not as good as an adult wizard like him, especially a Death Eater who has followed Voldemort for more than ten years and survived many battles.
And if Dolohov was allowed to react, he would not hold back at all and directly cast a death curse on Jon.
The gem Jon just got contains powerful magic, but these magic can only be used for the magic on his ring - the floating spell and the breaking spell, but neither of these two spells can block the life-killing curse.
Effect.
So he could only make a sneak attack and knock down Dolohov when he was completely defenseless.
It is difficult to find such an opportunity when there must be no other people around and Dolohov must be completely defenseless.
Three days have passed since Jon came up with this idea. When they returned to the underground dormitory in the evening, that was their best chance. Originally, they planned to let Hermione attract Dolohov's attention, but Jon would do it again.
, but the arrival of Lestrange could only force them to terminate their original plan.
Hermione sat on the bed holding her knees and looked at Jon.
"Can we find another chance?"
Jon crossed his fingers, his face darkened, and he whispered.
"Then look for an opportunity at night. The action time will be set the day after tomorrow. I will try to sneak into Dolokhov's room tomorrow night. No one will disturb him at night, and he will not be wary."
...
On Wednesday night, after the curfew completely started, Jon sat up from the bed. He took out the Marauder's Map, lit a candle and started watching Dolohov's every move.
He watched from the map that after leaving the Mudblood's underground dormitory, the castle administrator went all the way up and inspected every floor of the castle. Then at eight-fifty, unusually, he came from Hogwart.
The gate of Ci leaves the scope of the school.
Jon couldn't sit still in the dormitory.
He knew very well that if he still wanted to carry out his plan to pretend to be Dolohov, tonight was his only chance.
Without stopping for a moment, he immediately put on the invisibility cloak, left Hogwarts through the secret passage, and came to the brightly lit Pig's Head Bar.
It was only about nine o'clock now, and there were many wizards drinking and chatting in the bar. Jon carefully avoided everyone, walked to Aberforth who was preparing cider for the guests behind the bar, and pulled
Pull the hem of his robe.
Aberforth understood immediately.
He didn't clear the bar immediately, which would have been too obvious. Instead, he called a familiar wizard and asked him to help look after the tavern below. Then he went to the cellar to get wine and brought Jon with him.
Arrive at the underground wine cellar in the backyard.
"I wanted to deal with Dolohov and then pretend to be him and take the students to the secret passage tomorrow, but he came out of the school tonight. I need your help to go to Hogsmeade to see if he is still here.
In a small town, if he is here and there is only one person, then we will be more confident in starting together!"
Jon quickly finished explaining the current situation, and Aberforth made a quick decision without any pause. He told Jon to wait for news from him in the wine cellar, and then returned to the ground.
