บท 2: Chapter 2 Hogwarts and Hogwarts
"Hog, Hogwarts?"
After hearing the words of the young man in front of him, Jon's face showed complete shock.
The parchment that floated in front of him contained a bolded English title "Notice of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" at the top.
The letter of acceptance is too long, but apart from the title, the text below is written in a language that Jon has never seen before, and at the bottom of the letter, there is a school crest.
It is not the crest with four animals, a lion, eagle, badger and snake, surrounding an H, as he recalls it.
Rather, it consisted of a dark green, tongue-spitting snake coiled around an H.
Jon had certainly seen the Harry Potter books and films in his previous life, and only a week before he crossed over, he had rewatched the first four films and remembered this whole magical story very well.
What he had never anticipated was that the world he had arrived in is actually the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
The parchment that is currently floating in front of him, and the quill that approached his hand as if it couldn't wait for him to hold it, is definitely not a magic trick.
At such a close distance, Jon is certain that the parchment and the quill are not manipulated by any transparent threads or any other blindfold tricks, but are just floating in the air in front of him!
The way the young man is dressed, the era he is in, the name of Hogwarts and the magic on display all ascertain Jon that he has indeed arrived in the world of Harry Potter!
But not only he didn't feel any excitement, but he was getting calmer and calmer, and the feeling that something wasn't right just kept building up in his heart.
Why did the Hogwarts crest no longer match the one he remembered?
Why this method of recruiting new students for admission is so different from the one in the original?
Why this acceptance letter is written in a language he could not understand, shouldn't this be in English?
Who is this young man in black robes that is recruiting him? Which one of the Hogwarts professors is he?
The first two questions he simply could not ask at this time, and just as Jon hesitantly thought of asking the name of the young man, the other man had spoken before him.
"I inquired about your life here, Mr Green."
His voice sounded very gentle, and he seemed to have enough patience to explain to Jon about this school of magic.
"A year or so ago, something happened to you that the muggles around you had no way to understand; it is a sign that the gift of magic has manifested itself in you, and these people at the orphanage had no way of accepting the existence of magic, which is why they rejected you like this."
"But in Hogwarts, it is very different, it is where all your kind is, you have the same kind of origin as them, along with the same abilities, you don't have to suffer the same exclusion as you do here, and the professors at the school will teach you magic exclusively."
"There will be a welcome dinner for you when you enter the school, there will be a warm common room, a variety of food that will vary from day to day, the professors will be kind, the students will be friendly, Hogwarts Castle is the best place for you to belong."
The young man's words were unhurried, but Jon always felt he seemed hurried, so hurried that he had forgotten to even introduce himself.
"Sir, you-"
"Just sign your name on this notice, Mr Green. Or do you have any doubts about what I've said?" He asked with a smile.
It is easy to gain the trust of a young child with that smile, but his eyes didn't match the smile at all. There is an extremely deep hidden coldness and boredom that Jon caught keenly at the very beginning of their meeting.
Precisely this contrast made Jon feel alienated to the core.
"No, I have no doubts sir, it's just that you..."
"Since you have no doubts, sign the acceptance notice, we have other things to do next, like getting you a wand and buying a school uniform or something."
Again he interrupted Jon's question with a smile on his face, urging him to sign the notice.
The quill had squeezed hard in Jon's hand, and he raised it, pulled up by the quill in his hand to place it on top of the piece of parchment, but refused to sign as he still wanted to know just who this young man in front of him who had come to recruit him for admission really is, and the true situation.
"Sir, you haven't made a self ..."
"Sign!"
The youth interrupted his question with a sudden shout as if he could no longer bear it!
And just at the same time, a dazzling red light suddenly shot out from behind the young man, spanning a distance of more than ten metres in the blink of an eye, and struck him in the back!
A transparent light shield, which seemed to be tainted by the red light, lit up around the young man, successfully counteracting the spell, but at the same time, the shield itself began to break apart!
The gentle smile on the youth's face faded, and his expression turned cold and loathsome.
He pulled his small wooden stick-like wand from his left sleeve and without hesitation, launched a counterattack in the direction the red light had come from.
"Stupefy!"
An identical red light shot out from the tip of his wand, but the spell didn't hit its target, instead, it hit the grass in front of the sneak attacker, stirring up a large patch of dirt.
The sneak attacker is a woman with long, beautiful crimson hair and bright green eyes.
She dressed in tattered grey robes and looked ragged and dusty, and after dodging the youth's counterattack, she sprinted through the billowing dust in the direction of Jon!
Yet just as she was less than three metres away from Jon, she stopped abruptly and aimed the wand in her hand at the black-robed youth who had at some point lit up the tip of his wand with a dark green glow!
"Lily Potter! Did you really think I wouldn't dare to use a Killing Curse on you!"
The youth looked at her with cold eyes and slurred under his breath.
As if giving up on her intention of trying to take Jon away by force, Lily held up the wand in her hand and confronted the youth, as a voice dripping with icy coldness sounded.
"Surely you wouldn't dare to disobey the orders of the master who you treat as if he is your own father, but against this boy, you would dare to use it."
While speaking, Lily extended the hand that did not hold the wand in the direction of where Jon stood.
"Come with me, Jon, I'll take you to the real Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Jon Green! She is a wanted criminal whom the Ministry of Magic offers a bounty for! "
The youth's grip on his wand did not relax in the slightest, the green light that glinted at the tip of his wand acted more like a deterrent, one that maintained the balance of the scene.
"Go with her, and you too will be put on the Ministry of Magic's most wanted list and become a terrorist. If you sign the notice child, you will become a student at Hogwarts, the only recognized wizarding school in the British wizarding world, not the fake terrorist group that is impersonating us. I will take you to the world where you belong, without having to be isolated and living an exiled life with this woman's gang."
He directed his words at Jon, and Lily, who is standing opposite the man, made no attempt to refute his words, but simply said calmly to Jon once more.
"Take my hand."
"Sign it, Green!"
The situation had strangely reached a stalemate, and one thing that even Jon hadn't expected was that the only person who could break the stalemate would be the one who held no power at all!
In the short span of less than ten minutes, Jon, whose mind had been bombarded with countless pieces of information, did not plunge into confusion at this point.
Or rather, he sobered up a little more after hearing the name of the witch who had suddenly attacked and rushed up to him, also intending to take him to Hogwarts.
Lily Potter.
Both the name and the family name seemed incredibly familiar to Jon, but if he really had crossed over into the world of Harry Potter, then the owner of that name shouldn't even be here at this time!
So he did not, at first, give his trust to the woman known as Lily.
If she really is the same Lily from the story, then she is credible, but who can prove that the person in front of him is the same witch who should have died 10 years ago?
So instead of making a choice right away, Jon looked over at the young man in black robes, with the quill in his hand, he took a deep breath and finally this time he managed to ask the question that he had been repeatedly interrupted from asking three times.
"Sir, what I've actually been trying to say is that you haven't introduced yourself to me as who you are?"
Such a question was obviously very out of place in such a situation, because in the perception of the other two, even if Jon knew the youth's identity it would be meaningless to his next choice.
The youth suppressed the annoyance and impatience in his mind and simply dismissed it as a childish fit of temper on Jon's part, his face reverting to the gentle, patient smile he had worn before.
"I'm sorry, Mr Green, I just forgot to introduce myself to you. My identity is that of a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic stationed at Hogwarts and also a Professor of Charms Class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Barty Crouch"
The moment he heard the young man's name, Jon's entire body froze, and the first thing that came to his mind was the image of a serious and old-fashioned Head of the Department of International Magical Co-operation, who is already in his old age.
Barty Crouch.
Wait!
Not that Barty Crouch!
It should be. Barty Crouch Jr!
Jon didn't hesitate any longer after his realization, now even a ghost knows who to choose!
He slapped away the acceptance notice that was floating in front of him, threw away the quill and without hesitation placed his hand in Lily's!
Lily was obviously a little taken aback by Jon's reaction, but she moved with unparalleled swiftness, waving the wand in her hand with a fluid motion.
'Apparition!'
The bodies of the two were instantly distorted into a swirl, and then in the next second, they completely disappeared from the spot!
And it was at that point that the young man, who should more precisely be called Barty Crouch Jr, spoke out the enticement he prepared to give to Jon earlier.
"- I can give you plenty of care when we get to Hogwarts-"
Before Barty Crouch Jr could finish his sentence, Lily had taken Jon away in front of him.
He stared blankly at the yard that had reduced to just him playing a one-man show, the disguise on his face finally unable to maintain anymore.
His pale face became incredibly grim and hideous, his fury made the veins on his forehead bulge, and then he yelled out the boy's name word by word.
"Jo! En! Gre! En! Damn it! Lowlife mudbloods!!!"
