In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"I told you ma'am, if you keep communicating with others with this attitude, sooner or later you will run into trouble with Jon. He is not the students you have met before at Hogwarts Castle. "

Nick shrugged and said with a little gloating to Ms. Gray, who was stunned on the spot with an obviously ugly look on her face.

After hearing his words, Ms. Gray came back to her senses. The arrogant expression on her originally transparent face seemed to be a little unbearable. She did not answer Nick's words, but turned around and left here.

Nick looked at this lady who was a full five hundred years older than him when she turned into a ghost, but still looked like a little girl who had not grown up, and secretly made a funny face.

Then, he quietly passed through the wall and came to Jon's dormitory.

Neville and the Weasleys were traveling in Toulouse, so Jon was now alone in the dormitory.

Jon was brushing his teeth when Nick arrived.

He held the mandrake leaf in his mouth for a full month. Although this magical herb itself has some self-cleaning functions, it still gave Jon a lot of strange feelings psychologically. Even if the leaf has been vomited, Coming out also gave his saliva a strange taste.

"Hey, I thought you would wait until the first day of school before coming back. Why didn't you play for two more days?"

With the relationship between Nick and him, of course there is no need to be so open-minded.

Jon gargled out the foam in his mouth and said casually.

"No matter what, there is still a game to prepare for. Also, can I think that you are changing the subject?"

Nick rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"First of all, I didn't tell her about your patron saint. She got the news from the UK and came here."

Jon didn't originally think about pursuing him on the Patronus. This matter was already known to Voldemort's men, and it didn't matter whether he concealed it or not.

"So, she actually came here mainly for me?"

After Jon wiped his mouth, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Nick and asked.

Nick nodded.

"Yes, I don't know what channel she used to get information about you in the UK, and then found me at the beginning of the summer vacation. At that time, I thought she came here for Mr. Slytherin's portrait. As a result, she only met the portrait once, and then came back angrily from Dumbledore, and it seemed that she didn’t get along well with that gentleman.”

Of course, getting along with her would not be very pleasant. Jon, who knew the life of Ms. Gray, could not imagine what Slytherin's attitude would be towards the daughter of his former friend.

Not to mention that he had already broken up with the other three founders and ran away from school. Even if the friendship in the past was still there, it would only make him look down on this unfilial daughter who actually stole his mother's things and ran away.

"Originally, I thought that after seeing Mr. Slytherin again, she would leave, but I didn't expect that she would find me again and ask me about you."

Jon was peeling the apple with a fruit knife. Based on the questions that Ms. Gray asked him just now, even if he thought with his toes, he could roughly guess the reason.

"She came to me to speculate on some special relationship between me and Hogwarts Castle?"

"Yes, even though she was hiding it at first, you know, although I wasn't familiar with her before in the castle, I have known her for hundreds of years anyway. I know all about her character, and I can tell you a few words. , I asked her all about her intention to come to you."

Nick looked at Jon, his expression finally becoming serious.

"She wants your help in retrieving Rowena Ravenclaw's relics."

After Jon heard this, he took a bite of the apple in his hand.

"The crown?"

Nick looked at him in surprise.

"Do you know what it is?"

"Not only do I know, I have seen that thing once." The apple was very crisp, and Jon took a bite. "You should know that I had sneaked into Hogwarts Castle before I saw you at sea. Steal the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance. To get these two things, you must first enter the principal's office, and there are four things on the desk in the principal's office."

"Slytherin's locket, Gryffindor's sword, Hufflepuff's cup, and Ravenclaw's diadem."

This was the first time Nick heard about this from Jon. He did know that Jon had sneaked into the castle before, but he didn't know what was hidden in the principal's office.

There was clear shock in Nick's voice.

"The Dark Lord has collected all the relics of the four founders?"

He obviously didn't know anything about the Horcruxes.

"Then why didn't you get them back then?"

Jon threw the clean core into the trash can.

"Please, think about it seriously Nick, if you were the Dark Lord, would you put these four precious things on the desk of the principal's office for no reason? If he didn't want others to find it, in the world There are so many places to hide, but why does he have to hide in a place where the enemy is most likely to go?"

"You mean those four things were cursed with black magic?"

"I don't know if there is a curse, but they are definitely not normal, and my main goal at that time was not to take away these relics. There is no need to bear undue accidents for them."

Jon rubbed his chin as he brought the topic back to Mrs. Grey.

"In other words, this Ms. Gray knows that the diadem is in Hogwarts Castle, and she wants me to help find it? Then why doesn't she find it herself? Isn't the ghost more suitable to operate in the castle, the Dark Lord's? Those subordinates can't do anything to her."

Nick spread his hands.

"Gabriel follows you every day, giving you an illusion, Jon. A normal ghost has no way of touching the real thing. Even if she could find it in the castle, she wouldn't be able to take it out."

Jon slapped his forehead, he had indeed forgotten about it.

"It's not her attitude to ask for help. Besides, it was something she stupidly gave away. Why should I help her get it back?"

His last two sentences were muffled and Nick didn't hear them.

"Ghosts are like this. Although we will continue to exist in this world after death, our mentality will always remain at the time before death. Time cannot affect our souls, and naturally it cannot make us grow better than before. More or less, Ms. Gray is a perfect example.”

Nick asked, blinking as he looked at Jon.

"So, are you going to help her?"
