Whether it was intentional or not, Dumbledore did not discover Jon's whereabouts.
After dragging the two corpse-like students into the depths of the cave, Jon waved his magic wand and conjured a stream of spring water. He slapped it on Eddie's face, and only then did Eddie regain his consciousness.
A few seconds later, Jon closed his eyes and leaned against the cold, wet wall. He turned off the [Eavesdropping Wind Whisper] that he had just released. When he heard that it was safe outside, he panted frantically.
Eddie was also panting with him. The cold from the wall made both of them feel like they had just survived a disaster.
"The Black Wizard came to Hogwarts. We have to tell the principal about this as soon as possible."
Eddie panted and waved his magic wand. A faint fluorescent light shone in front of them, as well as Ben, who was lying on the side.
Jon rejected this decision without thinking. If there was really a need to tell Dumbledore, he would have just gone out.
"Don't even think about it. Besides, we can't even see the principal."
"Then, tell the professor …"
"It's against the school rules for students under the third grade to sneak outside the school. How do you plan to get expelled?"
"But you told me to ask Professor Flick for help from the beginning."
"Plans can't keep up with changes. At that time, I was thinking of asking Professor Sprout to come and save me. But the Black Wizard didn't come in."
"Okay."
After talking for a while, Eddie's heartbeat gradually calmed down. Ben, who was lying next to him, was sleeping like a dead man. Chown, who was sitting opposite him, had his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
"I have to thank you for today. Speaking of which, no one has ever helped me fight before."
"How am I helping you? It's all your own work. I just helped you. Besides, isn't it because of Ben?"
Hearing Jon's words, Eddie was stunned for a moment and hurriedly declined. He could see that Jon's strength was far beyond his current level. The Black Wizard could control Ben so tightly, but Jon was not affected at all. It was enough to show that Jon was capable.
But the meaning behind his words always surprised Eddie.
"Don't you have any friends? I thought you were very close to Stephen and the others. "
"No, they are good friends I made after I came to school. But before I went to school, I lived in the Muggle neighborhood."
Chown shook his head and rubbed his nose. "Because I have magic, I have few friends. Or rather, I don't have many true friends. Also, those muggle kids are too weak. After they enter school, Stephen and the others are too busy with their studies, so they can't help me … fight."
Chown felt a little guilty when he said this. If the other three in the dormitory heard this, they would definitely press him down on the bed and rub it against him. "It's mainly because I learned not to cause trouble early on. There's no need to fight."
"Isn't that good? Actually, I'm not much better than you. I really have to thank you this time for helping me save Ben. "
"Is Ben a very important friend to you?"
"Of course. He's the first person to talk to me after school started. He's very kind and cheerful, but he's not very good at studying."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been targeted by the Black Wizard.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, Jon and Eddie regained their strength and dragged the unconscious Ben back through the secret passage.
It only took them a little more than an hour to get here, but it took them twice as long to get back. Fortunately, it was the weekend, so they could still rest tomorrow.
Chown sent Eddie, who was supporting Ben, to the ground floor of Ravenclaw Tower. Chown watched the two figures go up the stairs and disappeared into the darkness.
After using the Illusion Spell so many times, even the casting of the spell became smoother.
Quietly returning to his room, Jon left a note on Stephen's bed curtain. Then he turned around and went back to his own bed.
Helga said that he would summon Jon into the portrait dimension in a few days. Before that, Jon could rest for a while.
Once Jon's tense nerves were slightly relaxed, he began to fall into a trance. Not long after, he fell asleep again.
…
Six days later, it was another Saturday.
No one knew about the Black Wizard. Ben returned to normal the next day, as if he had never been affected by the black magic.
Jon also had a peaceful week.
Stephen and the other two woke up one after another in the morning, but Jon didn't wake up for a long time. The three of them were used to this kind of thing, so they didn't bother with him and left.
Jon was sleeping on his bed, but his mind was in Helga's Demonic Fairy Castle.
The simulated blazing sun shone down from nowhere, burning Jon's skin. The unbearable heat was very real.
It seemed that as the overall magic density of the world increased, Helga's magic had recovered a lot.
Just like this time, Jon didn't appear in front of Helga directly. Instead, he came out of a portal in the void and stepped on this giant floating island that existed in a special state.
Jon followed the memory in his mind and walked to this ancient-style building. Jon stood on the square and looked at the garden elves flying around in the garden. Suddenly, he realized something that he didn't realize before.
This world was getting closer and closer to reality.
Jon had come into contact with the theory of dimensional space many times, but what was the real principle of these dimensions? Jon hadn't dipped into it yet.
Before he could carefully look at these details, the door next to him began to shake. It seemed that the door made of bronze was opened a little, and it was dark behind the door.
A cold wind blew out from behind the door, followed by Helga's voice.
"Don't just stand there, come in."
In the darkness, Helga's voice sounded very empty. "The time to witness a miracle has come."
Jon squeezed in through the gap between the door.
For some reason, Jon couldn't push the door open at all.
There was no light in the lobby, and all the windows were covered with thick curtains.
The elegant sound of a violin echoed in the lobby, and when Jon walked into the darkness, it lingered in his ears.
It was a familiar melody.
Under the influence of his father since young, Jon had some understanding of classical music. After listening for a while, he recognized the origin of this song.
Beautiful, pure, simple, and noble. The melody was clear, deep, smooth, and sincere.
This was a religious song from the beginning of this century, so it shouldn't be something that Helga knew.
So, it should be related to the Black Wizard who died at the hands of Dumbledore, right?
