The reason why Jon agreed to Dumbledore's request to protect Harry was because he needed Tom Riddle's soul.
Before he left, he had one more thing to do. That was to go to Gringotts and retrieve the Hufflepuff family's golden chalice. Gringotts' lockdown was very tight. Even if Jon had the 3D map of Gringotts, it would be difficult to open the door to the vault. After all, other than the key, the vault also required a fairy's magic to create a magic seal.
The simplest way was to break through space and enter directly. However, the fluctuation of space magic would trigger the alarm in Gringotts.
Thus, Jon planned to let Grindelwald bring him in. However, Grindelwald left at this moment to save Sirius.
Thus, the only person he could rely on was Dumbledore.
Helping Dumbledore protect Harry was the reward that Dumbledore promised him.
Now that Dumbledore had left the school, no matter where he was, it would be out of his reach. Furthermore, it was not suitable for the teachers to appear. Choosing Jon was actually a last resort.
However, Jon could accept it. After all, everything was within his range.
"If that's the case, then we can set our plan now, right?"
After Cecatly woke up, she immediately looked for Jon. In her hand was the previous' travel 'plan. Obviously, she added something to it.
The added thing was the trip to Gringotts. Jon wanted to retrieve the golden chalice and Cecatly had no objections.
After all, they might not be able to return from this trip. Naturally, it was right to prepare in advance.
"It's settled then. There shouldn't be any other changes. After all, you can arrange everything else."
This was the advantage of letting everything out. He didn't have to worry about it.
"Alright, it's settled then. Contact me when the time comes."
Cecatly threw out a sentence and disappeared from the house. Fortunately, Jon had completely adapted to her recent state. She was always like this when she was busy.
"What a troublesome life."
… …
… …
Harry and Ron sat beside Hermione's bed. They were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
"In this school, I'm not the only one who understands the snake language. The heir of Slytherin understood as well. That's why they were able to control the snake monster. "
"What should we do?" Ron asked, his eyes shining. "Should we go straight to Professor McGonagall?"
"Let's go to the staff room," said Harry, leaping into the rain. "She'll be there in ten minutes. The class will be over soon."
They ran downstairs. They didn't want Professor Mag to discover them wandering around in another corridor, so they went straight into the empty faculty lounge. It was a large wood-paneled room full of black wooden chairs.
Harry and Ron were pacing up and down, too excited to sit down.
However, the bell never rang.
Because something had indeed happened, Professor Mag came to the corridor immediately after hearing Mischievous's report.
Right after that, Professor Mag's voice echoed in the corridor, magnified many times by magic.
"All students are to return to their respective dorms immediately.
All the teachers returned to the staff lounge.
Please act immediately. "
Harry, who was in the lounge, suddenly turned around and glared at Ron.
"Did something happen again? At this time? "
"What should we do?" Ron asked in horror. "Go back to the dorms?"
"No," Harry said, his eyes searching around. There was an ugly wardrobe on his left. It was filled with the robes that the teachers wore in class. "Hide in here. Let's hear what's going on, and then tell them what we found. "
They hid in the wardrobe and listened to the footsteps of hundreds of people moving around upstairs.
However, the teachers were not in a hurry to go in, not far from the door of the staff lounge.
"Everyone, go in one by one. It's time for us to show off our acting skills."
Then, the door of the staff lounge was pushed open forcefully.
Harry and the rest looked through the layers of robes that emitted a musty smell as the teachers walked into the room one by one. Some were confused, while others were scared out of their wits.
Professor Mag arrived soon after.
"Something has happened again," she said to the silent teachers in the room. Her acting skills were excellent. "A student has been abducted by a monster, and brought straight into the secret chamber."
Professor Flick let out a scream. Professor Sprout covered his mouth with both hands in a very exaggerated manner.
Snape, on the other hand, gripped the back of a chair tightly and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
"The heir of Slytherin," Professor Mag said with a very pale face. "She left another line. Just below the previous line of words, it says: 'Her bones will remain in the secret chamber forever.' "
Professor Flick "couldn't help but" cry.
"Who was it?" Madam Huoch's knees gave out, and she collapsed into a chair. "Which student was it?"
"Ginny Shusley," Professor Mag said.
Harry felt Ron fall silently on the floor of the wardrobe beside him.
"We have to send all the students home tomorrow," Professor Mag said. "The Hogwarts are over. Dumbledore used to say … "
The door of the staff lounge was slammed open again. Harry suddenly thought that it must be Dumbledore who had returned.
In the end, it was Lohat. He was actually smiling.
"I'm sorry — I took a nap — what did I miss?"
He didn't notice, or "seemed" not to notice, that the other teachers were staring at him with hatred.
Snape took a step forward.
"The person who will solve the problem is here," he said. "It's this person. Lohat, a girl has been taken away by a monster and taken into the secret chamber. It's time for you to shine. "
Lohat's face turned pale.
"Yes, Gidro," Professor Sprout interrupted. "Didn't you say last night that you knew exactly where the entrance to the secret chamber was?"
"I — this, this, I —" Lohat stammered.
"Didn't you tell me that you were sure you knew what the monster was?"
Professor Flick also chimed in. Lohat felt that although they were acting, it felt very real.
Professor Flick, in particular, felt that the old Dean didn't like him very much.
"I — did I say that? I don't remember … "
"Of course I remember what you said. You said it was a pity that you couldn't fight the monster before Hagrid was taken away," Snape said.
"Didn't you also say that the whole thing was a mess and that you should have been left to deal with it from the beginning?"
