When Jon woke up, it was already the evening of the second day of Christmas.
He slept all day and night, with Hermione watching.
When he woke up, it happened to be dinner time. There was some fruit brought by students or professors beside the bed. Jon sat on the bed and hungrily ate the dinner Hermione brought him, while also watching.
Reading today's newspaper.
The headlines in the newspapers were of course related to the situation in Britain.
Almost all wizards in Europe know what kind of battle took place in the British Ministry of Magic last night, and the outcome of this battle will affect the future trend of the wizarding world.
And now the results are obvious.
At midnight on the day Jon left with Dumbledore, the resurrected Voldemort announced his victory to everyone and announced Dumbledore's death.
This was verified early this morning when all the Wu-Ping lines that were originally staying in France quietly evacuated, and all the personnel of the Wu-Ping lines moved northward and were under the control of Grindelwald.
So the news that shocked everyone spread to every corner of the magical world.
The man won again, and Dumbledore lost the duel with him again, and this time he paid with his own life!
Everyone knew clearly what Voldemort's victory meant.
He once again gained a claim to the entire magical society!
The retreat that Wu Pingxian has made this time means that the entire European continent south of Britain and France will fall into Voldemort's hands.
This is actually the foundation he has gained after so many years of business. In the war with Dumbledore, he can lose many times, but as long as he wins once, he can regain everything he lost and even gain more.
The Wu Ping line led by Dumbledore can win many times, but as long as they lose once, it is equivalent to spitting out everything they have eaten before.
Fortunately, Grindelwald is still here in Northern Europe. In addition, it is estimated that Voldemort has suffered a lot from two consecutive resurrections. In the next period of time, he will at most reoccupy France and want to continue to launch attacks on the entire Northern Europe.
The offensive will still require a period of rest.
Jon looked at the article in the newspaper that said, "That gentleman has won a great victory, and the magical world will be shrouded in an extremely bright future." A sneer appeared on his face.
"He won't say it. He was killed twice last night."
Hermione, who was sitting next to him having dinner with Jon, asked in surprise.
"You killed him twice with Professor Dumbledore?"
"To be precise, the professor killed him first, and then I killed him again, but he came back to life again. It's not like I got nothing after both times. At least I figured out why he couldn't be killed, and I also found out why he couldn't be killed.
It just allowed me to vent a bit."
Jon muttered a few words and put down the newspaper in his hand.
What really happened yesterday will definitely not be talked about internally. Wu Pingxian is now in a state of decadence and needs some news to stimulate confidence. It is estimated that after Moody Kingsley and others react in two days, they will
The meeting will publicize the fact that Voldemort was killed twice to strengthen public opinion on their side.
But these are things that Jon doesn't have to worry about. His main concern now is what's going on with Dumbledore.
After simply filling his stomach, Jon didn't stop, he went straight to Grindelwald's office.
When he arrived, Grindelwald was leaning back in his chair as if thinking about something.
"Mr. Headmaster, how is Professor Dumbledore doing?"
Nothing could be seen from Grindelwald's face. After hearing Jon's question, he spoke slowly.
"He was not made like this by any spell, but by the use of unusable power. This is completely beyond the scope of what can be cured by normal means, and his condition is very bad."
Jon frowned, thinking of what Voldemort said wildly last night.
'Death didn't take my life, but he seems to like you more.'
So will Dumbledore really leave them one day?
Jon took a deep breath and looked at Grindelwald.
"Professor, where is he now? I want to see him."
Of course, Grindelwald did not refuse. He left Durmstrang with Jon and came to the best hospital for magical injuries and illnesses in Northern Europe.
There are two people guarding the ward where Dumbledore is. In addition to McGonagall and Flitwick, Dumbledore is lying quietly on the bed. It can be seen that he is still breathing.
And the frequency of the fluctuations in his chest was much more stable than when Jon first brought him out.
But there were no scars on the surface of his body, but he had no intention of waking up.
"You know about the Dementor's Kiss?"
Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore and said softly.
"This was one of the most stringent criminal laws of the British Ministry of Magic. Dementors would kiss the punished subjects and suck their souls out of their mouths, leaving only an empty shell of the body. Although this empty shell can still
Breathing and heartbeat have the vital characteristics of normal people, but in fact he is already a dead person."
Jon, who was sitting by the hospital bed and watching Dumbledore remain silent, turned back to look at him in shock. McGonagall and Flitwick also had expressions of disbelief.
"You mean... Professor he is now..."
"I'm just making an analogy." Grindelwald's voice remained calm. He looked down at Dumbledore on the hospital bed. "His current state is very similar to this situation, but it is just similar. For example, now he is still
I can say hello to you."
Hearing his words, Jon and the three of them were all stunned.
When they turned back to look at the hospital bed, Dumbledore had opened his eyes at some point.
He looked extremely tired and listless, as if he might fall asleep at any time, but there was still a smile on his face, and that gentle smile was the same as usual.
"Albus!"
Mag screamed, with a rare cry in her voice and tears already streaming down her face.
Flitwick was also ecstatic, as long as Dumbledore was still alive, that would be the best outcome for them.
Jon's face showed excitement at first, but when he looked at Dumbledore's face carefully, he couldn't bring himself to smile at all.
Because compared to Dumbledore, who was fine at this time, his current situation is more like a comeback.
Dumbledore obviously noticed the change in the expression on Jon's face. He was lying quietly on the bed, with a calm expression on his face like an old man enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
"There is no need to show such an expression, Jon, everyone has their own path to take. No matter which path I want to go on, it is my own choice. You should be happy for me, and
It’s not sad.”
Jon's voice was a little hoarse.
"So, are you still going to die?"
"Death?" Dumbledore's smile became even brighter, "No, someone just wanted to invite me to see another scenery. This was a situation I had anticipated before I planned to face Voldemort.
It is also a transaction between him and me. This transaction is fair and he and I both think it is good for both of us."
His voice gradually became quieter.
"It's just that in the future, you will have to rely on yourself to take the lead in more things. Sometimes Jon Horace always criticizes me for burdening you with too many things that should not be shouldered by you, but even if
Now that he is calling me a bastard, there is nothing he can do to change it, and you have to bear more things."
Jon looked at him.
"Then will you come back?"
"Ha, a very good question! Although you always say that I like to hide some words, as long as I say something, I can guarantee its authenticity, right?"
Dumbledore blinked at him.
"It's the same this time. Since I said, I'm just going for an appointment, it means that this is a journey that goes back and forth, but I can't control too much about time. No one knows when I can come back.
You can’t tell for sure. It might be just one day, it might be a year, it might be a hundred or even ten thousand years."
When Dumbledore said this, he raised his head and glanced at Grindelwald.
Grindelwald remained silent, as if he could tell what Dumbledore wanted to say just by looking at him. He took out his wand and handed it to Jon.
At this time, Dumbledore also struggled to lift the elderberry wand full of knots from his side.
"I know you are a nostalgic person, and you must be very distressed when the wand that has been with you since you first entered the carriage was blown up, but as the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come.
Well, it’s just that I’m afraid I can’t find a new wand for you Jon. I have this old antique one, so you won’t find it disgusting if you reluctantly use it first, right?”
Jon looked at Dumbledore with his wand raised in astonishment. Looking at the Elder Wand, he quickly realized what Dumbledore meant.
After he defeated Voldemort in the normal timeline last night, the ownership of the Elder Wand returned to his hands. After that, Voldemort who completed the fusion did not actually defeat Deng Xiaoping in any sense.
Bumbledore, what really made Dumbledore what he is now is actually himself.
In other words, the ownership of the Elder Wand has not changed during this period, and its owner is still Dumbledore.
Now Dumbledore was looking at Jon, holding up the wand as if initiating a duel, and at the same time looking at Jon with affirmative and encouraging eyes.
Jon took a deep breath, and without stopping, he raised the wand Grindelwald handed him and touched the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand.
Then the Elder Wand fell to the ground, and at this moment, its owner also became Jon Green.
