Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Destined
"I worked in a bookshop during the summer, it was a very old bookshop, and the owner was very kind to me." Hermione opened her mouth and said, "She had a lot of banned books hidden away in her store, in which I saw a banned book called 'Hogwarts: A History' and read a part of it, and found out that the former Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was not anything like what it is now."
"That store owner also subscribed to the Daily Prophet, and I happened to read on it that there was actually another Hogwarts school out there in exile in the wizarding world, being led by Dumbledore, and that news segment said that it was the only remaining resistance and traitors."
"I learned that Dumbledore was the previous Headmaster of Hogwarts seven years ago, the original Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry that he led was a real school, only later when he was defeated, this castle was occupied by another person, and we were enslaved in this way."
"You pretend to be Randy to sneak into the castle, have the guts to do this, only someone from another Hogwarts school will dare to risk coming here throughout the wizarding world, there will be no one else."
Hermione said in a small voice, but with so much conviction, she looked at Jon, and those eyes were clear and bright.
"Besides, I can tell by the way you treat us all, if you were one of those pureblood wizards, you wouldn't even spend time with us like this, you must be from another Hogwarts, right?"
Jon looked at the girl's twinkling eyes and sighed immensely in his heart.
All these speculations sound reasonable, the most crucial thing is that Hermione is now truly just 12 years old, not a 12-year-old child on the outside like him, but actually has an adult soul inside.
When it came to such a situation, Jon became calm instead, and facing Hermione's question he did not deny it, but nodded his head and admitted it.
"Yes, I am indeed from another Hogwarts."
Hermione became excited when her own assumptions were verified by Jon personally.
After all, she is still only 12 years old, even if her observation and logical reasoning are far beyond her peers, but in the end, her mentality is not as mature as Jon's.
"Are you a professor of that Hogwarts?" She continued to ask with impatience.
Jon hesitated for just a second before nodding without further deliberation.
"Yes, I'm a professor at that school."
It wasn't that he was trying to lie on purpose, but it was already quite insecure for him that Hermione knew about his identity, and now even if he admitted where he came from, he still had to hide his true identity.
Besides, if we go by the actual mental age, it is not a big deal for Jon to have the cheek to call himself a professor.
Hermione was too excited to notice Jon's moment of hesitation, and besides, it would only make sense for Jon to be a professor, if he was just a student then she should be suspicious.
"I have one more question, why could you possibly think of going to the Headmaster's office to find me?"
"I went to that storage room on the ground floor first, because I knew from Hanton earlier that you had looked for information about that room, and after not finding you there, I could only guess and gamble that you might visit the Headmaster's office."
This time it was not simply a deduction, Hermione took a gamble, if she came a dozen or twenty minutes earlier, if Jon was trying to kill the Basilisk when she opened the door, she might well have stared straight at the Basilisk's eye.
Luckily, Jon's action was fast enough, otherwise, Hermione is likely to die in an accident today.
After all the causes and circumstances were clearly understood, Jon looked at Hermione with a serious face.
"Since you found out my identity, then you should also know the consequences if my identity is exposed, so Miss Granger, will you keep it strictly confidential?"
Hermione's face filled with seriousness, and she solemnly swore.
"I swear I will never tell anyone anything about you!"
It didn't matter that she swore, it wasn't essential to get people to open their mouths to get information, in the wizarding world information could be extracted directly from their minds, which is why Dumbledore asked Jon to infiltrate Hogwarts Castle.
He followed Slughorn for a whole academic year to learn the art of Occlumency and had enough ability to keep secrets, but Hermione obviously did not have such ability.
Jon is very calm, looking at things rationally at the moment, even with Hermione's promise he is not completely at ease, in his mind, he is planning to find an opportunity to sneak out of the castle to find Aberforth to discuss how to solve the three portraits, and then in accordance with the length of time, he may stay in the castle to decide whether to try to clear Hermione's memory of this section about himself.
The young girl obviously could not see what exactly was going through Jon's mind at this moment, she blinked and continued to ask.
"So, Professor? What should I call you?"
"Just keep calling me Randy, that's all I am at the moment." Jon said without blinking.
"Randy, what did Mr Dumbledore send you to do at the castle?" Her eyes widened, "Is it because he wants you to steal something important from that man?"
Jon said vaguely.
"Well pretty much."
"So," she suddenly became nervous again, her body wrapped under the covers even began to shake slightly, her bright eyes were filled with expectation and anxiety, "So, did he ask you to provide us with any help? "
Her voice was very small, her tone carried a lack of confidence and trembled, and her gaze, which had been looking directly at Jon, was also somewhat averted, it looked like she was expecting Jon's answer, but also like she was afraid of his answer.
Jon did not speak at first.
He in fact would have told the truth, this girl is very smart, and as long as he talked clearly about Dumbledore's difficulties and the issue of their signing the admission pact, she should be able to understand.
And even her words showed weakness, it is kind of easy to see, she knows very well that even the professor from the other Hogwarts simply has no reason to save them, not to mention that he is likely to be in the middle of a life-threatening situation.
But it is because of the realization that she is very smart, and can think of all that can be expected, that even the words of request for help are stated so tactfully and unconfidently, letting Jon fall into silence.
He thought of the conversation he had with Aberforth that night not long ago, and if his task successfully completed, then what to do with students like Hermione in the castle?
Continue to be left in this castle? Continue to be oppressed, to be subjugated?
Whenever he thought of such a thing, it made Jon feel very uncomfortable.
These students in the castle are very lovable, Hanton envied those noble half-blood and pureblood students who can ride a broomstick and fly into the sky, Ariel is willing to voice her fond memories of past Christmas to everyone to relieve the sorrow, and Hermione is to let those new students do not forget that they are still equal, risking a great deal to continue to organize the assembly.
So, these loveable, freedom-hungry children are destined to be left here as slaves?
