"Do you really want to relax instead of making excuses to trick me first and then do other things?"
Dumbledore laughed dumbly, blinking his eyes and said.
"A friend invited me to go to France just to catch up on old times and talk about some things. Besides, when did you have this impression of me?"
I had it in my previous life...
Of course, these words were just what Jon was thinking about, and he could not say them directly. But to be honest, Dumbledore had never tricked him into doing anything, and everything about sneaking into the castle was done before he went there.
He made all the dangers clear and consulted Jon's own opinion.
Without any hesitation, Jon readily agreed.
During the time he spent in Hogwarts Castle, he had been mentally stressed and his sleep quality was very poor. It was really time to relax and take a rest.
Of course, staying in the carriage can be considered relaxing, but being able to go out for a walk with Dumbledore would be even better.
After all, Jon doesn't have to worry about safety issues by following him, and he might even learn some magical knowledge that will be helpful to him.
After confirming the time of travel, Jon left the principal's office.
On the way back to his dormitory, he happened to bump into Hermione who had just come out of the library.
At this time, Hermione was no longer dressed like a wild girl in the castle. It was said that because she performed very well in the tutoring class, Lily gave her a bottle of hair-smoothing potion to help her
Take care of your hair very neatly and spread it smoothly behind your back.
She is no longer wearing the tattered gray robe, but is wearing the student uniform on the carriage. Although her face is still pale from long-term malnutrition and her body is still very thin, she is obviously much better than before.
.
"Good morning, Jon."
It wasn't until she reached Jon that she turned her attention away from the book she was holding, raised her head and greeted Jon with a smile.
Because the situation is different in the castle, even if Jon and Hermione have contact, they rarely observe her character.
After arriving at the carriage, he discovered that Hermione, who had experienced two years of dark slavery, was much more reserved than the somewhat flamboyant Know-It-All in the original work.
Now every time she speaks, she will subconsciously observe the other person's face, and this habit has not changed even after arriving in the carriage.
Like a little beaver that is always cautiously poking its head out of the water to observe its surroundings, it is full of fear and vigilance towards this world that has seen through the darkness.
"Good morning." Jon also greeted, "You went to the library so early? You didn't even eat breakfast?"
"Take it out from the restaurant and solve it on the way." When chatting with Jon, she seemed very relaxed, "The brioche bread for breakfast is great."
"Today is the fifth grade students' turn to take turns in the kitchen. The brioche bread should be baked by Ron's two brothers. Well... to be honest, I think as long as they don't secretly hide anything weird in the bread,
I can accept weird things."
They chatted side by side and walked towards the dormitory together. Jon was a little curious about the new wand Hermione got a few days ago.
"Can you lend it to me?"
Hermione generously handed the wand into his hand.
This wand is very new, very different from the old wands that Jon and Neville Ron and the others got when he first entered school.
"What kind of combination is it?"
Hermione recalled: "The stick is made of grapevine wood and the core is the antlers of a jackalope."
The wood used for wands is basically the same all over the world, and the problem can be easily seen through the core of the wand.
The new wands Hermione and the others got were definitely not made by Ollivander. In one generation, the wand-making family determined that unicorn hair, dragon nerves and phoenix feathers were the three most suitable materials for use as wands.
After the material used in wand cores, the body parts of other magical animals have basically never been used as wand cores.
These wands were obviously obtained by Dumbledore through special channels, and they were most likely not the work of wand makers in the UK.
Judging from this year's situation, if we can't get a new source of wands, there will be an influx of so many students at once, and the wizards who escaped from Azkaban also need wands to use. Based on Dumbledore's situation,
The stock in Lido's office is definitely not enough.
But now it seems that he has a solution.
After returning the wand to Hermione, they separated in front of Jon's dormitory door. When they returned to the dormitory, Jon began to pack his things. Dumbledore had made an appointment with him tomorrow.
Ron and the others were envious of Jon being able to go out with Dumbledore.
After staying in the carriage all day, they actually wanted to go to other places for a walk, but the actual conditions were obviously not there yet.
Early the next morning, Dumbledore was already waiting for him in the foyer. Jon carried a small suitcase in his hand, and the two of them stepped out of the carriage together.
"So, are we going to just apparate there, Professor?"
Dumbledore used his Transfiguration to transform both himself and Jon. They still looked like the brother wizards they had when they went to Diagon Alley together last year.
After Hagrid stopped the car and dropped them off, he waved the riding crop in his hand to signal them, and then drove the carriage away again.
Dumbledore put a hat on his head and said with a smile.
"Of course not. Who travels and reaches the destination directly? The scenery along the way is the most precious wealth to us."
He watched the Hogwarts carriage go away, and took Jon on foot in the opposite direction for about three or four kilometers, arriving at a corner of a secluded village. Then he held the wand in his hand and pointed it at no one.
The road will wand horizontally.
The silence lasted for about two or three seconds, and soon there was a deafening "bang" sound, and three-story, bright purple buses suddenly passed through countless low-rise houses and headed towards them at a very fast speed.
They drove over and finally came to a sudden stop in front of them.
With a "bang", the car door was opened, and a feeble voice came from inside.
"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, emergency transport for witches or wizards in distress. Just stick out your wand and step on board, and we'll take you wherever you want to go. My
My name is Ern Plan. Today, tomorrow, and tomorrow tomorrow, I will always be your driver and part-time conductor... In fact, I have long suggested that the Ministry of Magic assign me a separate conductor.
Just like eight years ago, even if it's a Mudblood."
