Jon and the others no longer pay attention to how the Nice police recovered the bodies from the beach.
Their original plan to travel here was only three days. At the end of today, they would head to Marseille, the next stop.
Although France's reputation in the new century has always been spread on the Internet in the form of comedians, its humanities and artistic standards are extremely high throughout Europe.
For example, the famous French national anthem Marseillaise was named after the city's workers who sang during the revolt during the French Revolution.
After Jon and the others arrived here, they toured the Old Port of Marseille and went to an art museum. In fact, as wizards, unless a very small number of people are interested, not many people are interested in the culture and history of Muggles.
When the Weasleys and Longbottoms viewed those artistic creations, they basically just looked at them. Even Arthur, what he really liked was only Muggle technology and machinery, not artistic youth.
After staying in Marseille for three days, they left the coast and headed for the inland cities of France.
This kind of journey lasted until early August, when Jon asked Bill to help him take him back to Lyon.
After two failures, he finally caught up with the good time and put the third mandrake blade into his mouth. On this night a month later, the weather in Lyon was very clear, and the full moonlight shone softly on the
to the ground.
Jon picked a piece of grass in the backyard of the school, then took out the small crystal bottle that had been prepared long ago, and put the leaves that had been in it for a month into the bottle facing the moonlight.
Then he began to actively secrete saliva from his mouth and spit into it until the bottle was full.
After doing this, Jon resisted looking at the bottle of liquid and took out a small bottle from his pocket. There was dew that had not been exposed to sunlight for seven days. It was Lily who started to prepare it a week ago.
Jon paid attention and collected it for him.
Jon put a silver teaspoon of dew into the crystal bottle, pulled off a piece of his own hair, stuffed it into the bottle, and finally took out a pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth and put it in.
After all the work was completed, Jon used magic to dig a hole about half a meter under an oak tree.
This bottle of potion made from his saliva must be hidden in a place that is not disturbed by sunlight and sound. The underground fully meets this condition.
After being buried underground, the next condition for the potion to be completely completed is really a matter of luck.
Jon had to wait for a thunderstorm day.
And such weather cannot be simulated by magic, it must occur naturally. Such weather does not occur in every season. It usually only appears in summer, and sometimes it may not even be encountered for several years.
Jon had to be patient enough to wait. During this period, he had to use a ring to recite a spell to his heart at sunset and sunrise every day until he dug out the bottle of potion during a thunderstorm.
If there is a problem with one of the steps, it will affect his final casting.
After completing all this, Jon did not return to the Weasley's house with Bill. After the summer, it was the peak season of thunderstorms. This is why Jon couldn't wait to take the trouble to try to hold Mander in his mouth at this time.
The reason for pulling the grass leaves is that once winter enters, even if the bottle of medicine is finally successfully buried, it may take about a year before the next step.
Jon will stay in Lyon for the rest of the time until the start of fourth grade.
After returning to Hogwarts, Nick found Jon, and he was not alone, but also brought a tall, beautiful female ghost with him.
"This is Mrs. Grey, Jon, the former resident ghost of Ravenclaw House, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Nick introduced Jon and Mrs. Gray to each other.
"This is the Jon Green that Mr. Slytherin told you about. He will also go to Hogwarts Castle to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."
As for Ms. Gray's visit to Hogwarts, Jon had heard Hermione talk about it before when he was at Burrow Three.
He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that it was just the news of Slytherin's portrait that had been released, causing the biological daughter of Ravenclaw to want to come back and meet her old friend from thousands of years ago.
Unexpectedly, she had been waiting in Hogwarts for a month, and judging from Nick's attitude in bringing her here, it looked like she was waiting for him.
Jon glanced at Nick and found that Nick was winking at him secretly, so he nodded and greeted the ghost who had been deceived by Voldemort.
"Hello, Ms. Grey."
Ms. Gray's response was only to nod, and she looked at Jon with scrutiny in her eyes.
"You were the one who brought Slytherin's portrait back?"
She didn't use an honorific title for Slytherin, and she directly called him by his surname instead of his first name. It didn't sound like the relationship between the two was very close.
Jon looked slightly confused, guessing that Ms. Gray said this deliberately to hide her true identity, or that her relationship with Slytherin was simply not that good.
"Yes, ma'am, I found Mr. Slytherin's portrait in the Arctic maze and brought him out of there."
"He said you are a Slytherin recognized by Gryffindor." When Ms. Gray said this, the expression on her face was a little subtle, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Jon shrugged.
"Maybe, so, Ms. Gray came to me just to confirm this?"
"Nick also said, can you summon two patron saints, a lion and a badger?"
Jon glanced at Nick, who spread his hands to him with a look of helplessness.
"It's very late, ma'am, if you don't have anything else to do, I'm going to go back to bed. It's time for me to grow. If I don't grow taller after going to bed late, it will be a big problem."
Jon didn't really have any objections to Ms. Gray, he was just a little dissatisfied with her attitude.
No one knew anyone before. This ghost had a high-profile attitude when she first met. Jon did not indulge her mood.
With that said, Jon walked straight towards the bedroom, with no intention of continuing to entangle with her.
Ms. Gray watched him pass by her, her attitude still so arrogant. She held her head high and looked at Jon's back calmly and said.
"My real name is Helena Ravenclaw, and Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts, is my mother."
However, Jon did not do what she expected. After hearing his identity, he immediately turned around in fear and greeted her again, and then apologized for his "arrogance and rudeness" just now.
Jon didn't even pause for a moment. He was still walking forward, turning his back to Ms. Gray and waving casually.
