The duration of the Petrification Spell was dependent on the magic power of the caster.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Chown to recover from the curse.
He calmed down and recovered.
Instead, it was Eddie who was in front of him who was a little impatient and could not keep his cool.
That was normal. Children of this age were always so impatient.
However, that forced calmness reminded Chown of his past self.
But this child did not learn the Petrification Spell well.
How could he only cast the spell and not dispel it!
After leaning against the cold wall for half an hour, Jon finally recovered from the negative effects of the Petrification Spell. Then, both his legs became numb.
"Who are you? Why are you following me? "
Eddie's face was full of vigilance. Especially after seeing the academy emblem on Jon's body, he became even more vigilant.
Ever since Hufflepuff contributed the improved spell to Professor Flick from the Magical Research Society, the credits of the other three academies were completely overtaken by Hufflepuff.
Gryffindor Academy, which had always had people who were mischievous, had their points deducted.
The little Wizard from Slythrin, who had always looked down on Hufflepuff, had even clashed with Hufflepuff a few times. So, Professor Sprout also deducted their points.
Although Snape immediately added back to the class, it was to no avail.
Ravenclaw was even more depressed because of this matter. Originally, this amount of credits could have been added to their academy, but it was snatched away by Hufflepuff. Naturally, they did not have a good impression of Hufflepuff. Even the little girls who usually surrounded Cedric had disappeared.
Jon did not have a good time either. On the second day, Béla guessed that the Magical Research Society was created by Jon. If there was anyone to blame, it could only be blamed on Jon for not being careful enough in front of Béla. In addition, Béla heard from somewhere that Jon went to Professor Flick's office one afternoon. So, Jon was severely punished by her cousin who blamed him.
But Eddie should not know about this. Béla was not so stupid. It was enough for her to settle this in her own home. She would not ignore Jon's wishes and spread the news.
So, just because of the extra points, he was so vigilant?
Not to that extent … right?
Just because of this, he looked like he had a deep grudge?
Was there really a need?
…
Eddie Camichel, a first-year student of Ravenclaw, had not been very comfortable recently.
His roommate, Ben Rossi, had been acting very strangely recently. Usually, he would suddenly become a different person, and his face would suddenly become gloomy. Recently, he also had a problem with night trips.
Night trips were not a big deal in Hogwarts. At worst, they would be caught and deducted a few points. Professor Flick would not be angry about this kind of thing.
But the problem was that Ben was not energetic during the day. Eddie reminded him not to go out at night, but not only did Ben not admit it, but he also thought that Eddie was playing a prank.
This made Eddie's head hurt.
There was never only one thing that gave him a headache.
Eddie had been secretly following Ben since the day before yesterday. Every time he went near this place, Ben would suddenly disappear, and he did not dare to get too close, so he always lost him.
Meeting Jon today was purely an accident. He was going to leave, but when he heard a sound behind him, he turned around and saw Jon fumbling on the wall.
The reason why he used the Petrification Spell to control Jon was that he did not want Jon to shout and attract the patrolling Filch.
…
"If you ask me, you're doing the same thing too many times."
Jon gently patted his numb thighs and whispered, "I'm also out for a night trip, how dare I make a sound? Not to mention Filch, I don't even want to see the ghosts of our school. "
"Don't change the topic. Tell me, why are you following me?"
"I'm just passing by, okay?"
Jon did not intend to tell the truth. Of course, the truth could not be told. "I saw you following another person and thought you were going to do something bad, so I quietly followed you."
"Really?" Eddie looked Jon up and down. "I don't believe it."
You don't … believe it or not!
Jon did not want to waste any more time, so he turned around and left.
If he guessed correctly, Eddie's so-called roommate Ben was the one chosen by the Black Wizard outside. He did not know what kind of bad things he had done in the school for so long. He had to go back early and tell Helga about this while the common room was empty.
Helga's perception covered the entire castle, so it was better for him to find these problems than Eddie.
He would not allow his life to be threatened by anyone or anything.
Even if it was something that had not happened yet. Since he knew, he had to come up with a countermeasure.
Eddie naturally would not let him go so easily. This matter had not been solved yet, so there was no way he could leave.
But this time, he did not use the Petrification Spell. Instead, he grabbed Jon's arm.
Huh? Why is it so warm?
"What do you want?"
Jon struggled a bit and found that he could not get rid of Eddie, so he turned around.
"I want you …"
Eddie was stared at by Jon, and he did not know what to say for a moment.
He wanted to ask a lot of things, such as whether Jon knew the reason for Ben's disappearance. He did not believe Jon's words of coincidence. If it was really a coincidence, he would not have followed them for so long. How could Hufflepuff's student be so kind …
"Hey, you can complain all you want, but can't you attack me personally? The students of our school have always been upright and kind. Why do you have such a bad impression of them?"
The more Jon listened to Eddie's muttering, the more uncomfortable he felt. In the end, he directly interrupted him.
Did this little student think that he was a good guy?
"Forget it, you can go."
Eddie gently let go of Jon's arm, and with great reluctance, he said, "I'll go find Professor Flick tomorrow. Maybe he will have a solution … You have to testify for me then."
Testify for you?
Dream on, I'm not going to sell myself off.
Although Jon thought so, he did not really leave.
The little student in front of him was young, but he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. His words immediately hit Jon's sore spot.
This matter involved Black Wizard. Whether what Eddie said in front of the professor was true or not, the professors would call Jon to verify it. No matter what, the night tour points would definitely be deducted, and he might even be targeted by the professors.
The loss outweighed the gain.
Thinking of this, Jon sighed.
"I can help you solve this matter, but you have to keep it a secret."
