Tonight, the sky was clear and cloudless. Under the bright moonlight, the ancient trees overhead cast cold, dark, and thick shadows.
While Hermione was vomiting, Jon's eyes searched in all directions. He also activated his force field. After a long time, he saw a half-hidden house among the tangled trees.
It was a bit strange to choose this place to build a house. Or rather, it was a brainless decision to let those trees grow next to the house. After all, the trees blocked all the light, and also blocked the valley below.
Now that there was definitely no one living in this place, the house looked dilapidated. The walls were covered with moss, and many of the roof tiles had fallen off, revealing the rafters inside here and there.
Dense nettles grew around the house, and the tall nettles reached the windows. The windows were very small, and thick with old dirt.
"What … is this place? Why is it so strange? "
"Strange? It's okay. "
Jon thought about what Hermione might face in the future and smiled without saying anything.
Because the person they were facing tonight was such a person.
"Since there are a lot of things for you to do, I decided to give you some lessons in advance. Of course, these lessons are secret. You still need to show surprise in front of Harry … when you hear these words from his mouth. But you also need to know that behind you is one of the most powerful Wizards in the world, besides the legendary Wizard Dumbledore. So you don't need to worry about your safety. You only need to know that you are Harry's closest friend, and at the same time, you need to control his emotions."
"I don't think I can do that, because it is a bit difficult, and I'm just a Muggle …"
"Birth? I've told you many times, birth is not important, because this is something that people can't decide.
Who could decide whose stomach they would be born in? It's as if you couldn't decide to become a Magus yourself. Since it has already happened, then what you need to do is not to care about your background. Instead, you need to work hard so that your background, and the other Magi who have the same background as you, will not be looked down upon because of their background. "
"But this is very difficult to do."
"If it wasn't difficult, why did Dumbledore and I have to do it personally?
It's precisely because it's difficult that you have to do it. In this world, there's no reason not to do it just because it's difficult. The more you do, the less difficult it will be. You still have to think about these things carefully. No matter how much I say, it's not as important as you thinking about it yourself. "
Hermione didn't dwell on this issue and simply nodded.
"Teacher, where are we going now? The house in front of us looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Do you want to go there? "
"This place has indeed been abandoned for a long time. Of course, your guess is correct. This is our destination today."
Jon waved his hand and cast a spell, clearing away the vines in front of them.
"I brought you here because I wanted you to see it first. Don't be too surprised when you see it later."
"It?"
Jon didn't explain this time. He just led the way in front. Hermione hesitantly followed behind, not knowing where to go.
This house was already very old. If one stepped on it, the wooden planks would crack, so Jon was very careful. He stepped lightly in the air and didn't step on the ground at all.
Hermione, on the other hand, was not so lucky. She could only step carefully on the wooden planks to prevent herself from stepping through cracks or suddenly breaking pieces of wood.
In fact, it wasn't that Jon didn't take care of her. In this house, it was very easy for him to take care of Hermione.
But he didn't do it.
Because this matter didn't require him to do it. He had already demonstrated in front of them. If Hermione wanted to do it, she only needed to follow his example. After all, the Floating Spell was the first spell they learned in school. After so many years of learning, if they only knew how to use spells rigidly, then it would be too pitiful.
And the reason they came here was because Jon had an appointment with someone here today.
"Do you know where this is?"
Hermione shook her head.
"This place … If Potter was here, he should be able to recognize it. Because on the night Cedric died, he stayed there."
Jon stood at the door of the wooden house and pointed at a graveyard in the distance.
"Now, do you know where this place is?"
Without waiting for Hermione to answer, Jon shook his head.
"Of course you don't, because you've never come into contact with this information. This is where Voldemort's mother and his grandfather lived."
"The old house of the Slythrin family?"
"You know?"
"Yes."
Hermione said, "After that incident, Harry went back and did a lot of research, but later he forgot about it. But I remember that Voldemort has the blood of the Slythrin family. This blood is inherited from his mother's family."
"His mother, Merope Gunter, fell in love with Muggle Tom Liddell, who also lived here, and used some despicable means to give birth to Voldemort. Voldemort hated this period of time the most, so he rarely came here. But when he was at his weakest, he had nowhere else to go."
"Then, does he still live here now?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If he still lives here, why would I bring you here? "
"But although he doesn't live here now, there will still be people living here."
"Actually, he can't be considered a person anymore."
He stepped into the house. There was a rustling sound coming from inside the house. Before Hermione entered the house, she saw a huge snake.
Of course, before she walked in, she was mentally prepared. After all, this was the old house of the Slythrin family, so there would definitely be snakes.
But she didn't expect the snake to be so huge. It did look a little like a young snake monster.
But what surprised her even more was what happened next.
Because she clearly saw that when Jon stretched out his hand and covered the snake with a blue light, the snake suddenly turned into a beautiful young girl.
"Let me introduce myself, my student, Hermione Granger."
"And this is …"
"My name is Nagini," the girl said. "Am I Voldemort's follower now?"
