There were some tasks that Jon could do with ease.
After the huge project of reviving Filch's soul, using the Weave to extract the soul of a second-year Wizard was a piece of cake.
At the same time, he also drove the Basilisk away.
He did not go down, but when the tentacles of the Weave arrived, the Basilisk had just finished petrifying Justin.
Originally, Jon had planned to create a water membrane to protect Justin if Nick did not succeed. Now, it seemed that everything was running smoothly, and nothing unnecessary happened.
The Basilisk was indeed very hungry, and it even wanted to eat Justin. This made Jon very unhappy. In addition, he had been accidentally injured by the Basilisk before, so he almost mobilized the Mystic Bird to hit the Basilisk's head.
What the Immortal Bird could do, the Mystic Bird could do as well.
However, Naughty Ghost, who had rushed over, stopped Jon. It brought the food, wrapped itself tightly with magic, and threw the dead chickens on the ground, attracting the Basilisk all the way back to the passage of the secret room.
The whole process was very smooth, as if it had done this thousands of times.
Because of Naughty Ghost's interference, Jon did not continue to do these unnecessary things. The tentacles of the Weave retracted and collected Justin's soul. His body also flew up from the top of the Hogwarts, and flew towards the passage of the Forbidden Forest.
When Justin's soul was successfully sent over, the familiar signal of Delaire came from the pendant on his chest. Only then did Jon feel relieved.
"Is it done?"
Seeing Jon's figure land on the ground, Cecatly was a little surprised. After all, Jon had not been out for long.
"It went very smoothly. There were no problems. The person has been successfully sent over. As for what happens over there, it has nothing to do with us."
"Aren't you going to pay attention to it?"
Jon shook his head. "No time. If I have the time to see them, I'd rather improve my strength. What kind of life they have in that world is just a dream. It's all at the mercy of Ancestor Helga."
"It's good for them."
Cecatly put down the cup in her hand. It was getting late, and it was time to go back to sleep.
"By the way, is there anything else recently?"
"What do you mean? Dumbledore's Undead Bird was about to reach Nirvana, and it should be tonight. When I took Justin's soul away, I happened to see Harry heading in that direction. Although it was quite unexpected, Filch bumped into him when he appeared according to the original script.
Right now, he should be brought to Dumbledore's office. It just so happens that today is Dumbledore's Undying Bird's nirvana. Naughty Ghost just urgently went to inform Dumbledore. I wonder how Dumbledore will perform tonight. "
"What a coincidence. I saw Hagrid carrying a chicken over there. What happened?"
"Oh, Naughty Ghost killed a lot of chickens to feed the snake monsters. He didn't tell Hagrid. What a coincidence."
To be honest, there were too many coincidences in one night.
But, who cares?
…
Justin and the almost headless Nick were both attacked. This caused the originally tense atmosphere to turn into real panic. Strangely enough, what made people panic the most was what happened to the almost headless Nick.
What could do such a vicious thing to a spirit? People asked each other. What kind of terrifying power could harm a dead person?
The students were fighting to book seats on the Hogwarts express train, hoping to be able to go home for Christmas.
Those who knew the truth kept quiet. Because of Justin, Jon specially paid attention to the girl named Astoria. It was only when he saw this girl start to interact with Draco that he realized why he found this name familiar.
Astoria Greengrass, Draco Malfoy's future wife.
"So, why are the two of them together? Don't tell me that they have already started dating. "
In Snape's office, Jon took the opportunity to sneak in while Lohat was not around. He wanted to discuss the matter of the potions with Snape and gossip while he was at it.
"That girl from the Gringlass family has a blood curse on her body. To be exact, it's the snake blood curse. I once received an invitation from her mother to treat her, but you know that there's no way to completely cure this black magic unless you can separate the snake blood from the body. But that's impossible. She can only use magic potions to suppress the snake blood in her body for the rest of her life. Until she becomes powerful enough and becomes a legendary wizard, this magic will naturally disappear."
"I know about the blood curse. The incidence of this hereditary black magic is not high, but it is very vicious. But I want to ask why she is together with Draco."
"Because recently, the Basilisks have been making more and more moves. You know, that girl has traces of Basilisks in her body. She can sense the presence of some Basilisks, just like how a subordinate would sense a king. That's why she went to find Malfoy in an attempt to uncover the secret."
"Malfoy knows the secret?"
Jon was puzzled. Didn't Malfoy only know a little?
"He indeed does not know much about the snake monsters. But compared to these students, he is already not bad. So it is normal for Astoria to find him."
Of course, Jon understood what he meant.
"That makes sense. No wonder … Looks like other than the students under our guidance, everyone else feels that the students from Slythrin are very suspicious."
"After all, she is the heir of Slythrin."
Snape put the matter aside and said, "I've finished analyzing your list of potions. There are many ingredients that cannot be bought on the market, but they can be found in the herbal field at Hogwarts. You can ask Professor Sprout for some. As for the last snake blood potion … this is a black magic potion that has been banned for many years. Even I don't know the exact formula. Where did you get it from?"
"This … Obviously." Jon looked at the empty portrait on the wall. Phineas was not here, but he could definitely hear him. "Obviously, Headmaster Blake does not trust you."
"Don't make things up!" A figure appeared in the portrait. "It is because no one has ever asked!"
