There was still some time before Aragok's death, and Jon had to do something else during this time.
And so, late at night.
A silent figure walked from the darkness to the entrance of the castle. Mischievous was waiting here, and just like usual, he clung to Hogg.
"You look like a child now. You've lived for more than a thousand years, why are you still so clingy?"
"Because he doesn't mind," Mischievous said nonchalantly, "Besides, you're not a spirit, so you can't understand this feeling. You don't know how comfortable it is for me to sit on his shoulder like this. It's like sitting on the roof of Hogwarts."
They waited here for a while and then waited for Filch who was late to arrive after patrolling the night.
"Sir, what do we need to do tonight?"
"We need to open up a gap in the Hogwarts' defense, but this isn't easy to do, so we need you, the watchman of the Hogwarts, and Mischievous to work together."
"But my magic isn't outstanding, and I don't …"
Jon waved his hand.
"I don't need you to have any abilities.
If I really needed you to do something, I wouldn't have come here tonight. I asked you to come here mainly to familiarize you with where this gap is.
Also, this gap can be controlled, so you need to cooperate with Malfoy to open and close this gap. When this gap is opened, Professor Snape will inform you.
And most importantly, when the most important thing is done, I might not be here, so you need to be responsible for fixing this gap.
These things need to be done secretly, so don't let anyone find out what you're doing. But the students of the Hogwarts shouldn't suspect you based on the reputation you've accumulated over the years. "
Filch heard his words and smiled shyly. Fortunately, the light wasn't too strong, otherwise this scene would be uncomfortable.
This gap couldn't be placed in an obvious position, because he didn't know where Malfoy would place the Vanishing Cabinet. There was this information in the book, but he didn't remember it, or perhaps he remembered it, but forgot it later on.
But this wasn't important. Even if he didn't find out about Malfoy's situation, Snape would still report it. In any case, these things didn't require anyone to do anything, Snape said he just needed to let nature take its course.
Jon didn't intend to let nature take its course.
Filch had always been his man, and no one else knew this.
"Right, where's our boy tonight?"
Filch thought for a moment, then answered, "Professor Snape called him to confine him to attend Professor Sla Hogan's banquet, but he couldn't go against Professor Snape's orders.
Of course, Professor Snape also wants to protect him. "
"Alright, I know you two are close. You don't have to speak up for Snape, I didn't say anything about blaming him, this is what he should do. Let our boy be confined for a while, maybe he'll learn to be more obedient. He can't be controlled if he keeps getting involved in these useless things."
Filch was practically Jon's most important confidant in the Hogwarts, just like Hogg. But because Hogg was fused with the Magic Net, Filch was a node of the Magic Net, so he was closer to Hogg, but he didn't know these things.
After all, Jon was the one who made him the Wizard, so this kind of kindness was very important. In this world, he wouldn't easily betray Jon, and he had no reason to do so anyway.
Jon's power and status were obvious, so he had to think more than others when doing things. And Voldemort and his gang were obviously being played by him, so it was much better to work with such a person than with Voldemort.
Could Voldemort make him the Wizard?
Obviously not.
They quickly arrived at the border of the hogwarts. Both Mischievous and Hogg were extremely familiar with the defensive structures of the hogwarts, especially since Hogg himself could move almost all the defensive structures of the hogwarts. But with the passage of time and his long hibernation, a large part of the defensive structures in the hogwarts had been destroyed, including the array that separated the space on the field and by the lake. Only a small part of the four academies' experimental space was left, and there was a lot of it, which hadn't been used for many years — after all, there weren't that many outstanding students.
The chosen location was a place where not many people would come, so when the time came, he could directly report this location to Snape — or perhaps this could be done by Filch, after all, with such a spy in the school, it wouldn't arouse Voldemort's suspicions, and Filch would still be able to survive when the time came.
He had done a very good job when he completed the matter with Umbridge.
"We have been preparing for tonight's matter for a long time, so we should be able to wrap it up very soon. We won't waste too much time here."
"I know, Sir, don't worry, I will try my best to remember the steps and contents, and I will also do my best to learn the related repair work."
"Mischievous can help you with the repair work, so don't be so anxious. Anyway, this matter will take a long time to wrap up. The reason why I came so early is because I have something to do next."
Magic flowed from Jon's fingertips, and at the base of the defensive boundary of the Hogwarts, the boundary that had been materialized began to tear apart. Hogg was also around Jon, using the Weave that had already fused with his body to control his magic and maintain the stability of the boundary.
Gradually, the "wound" that Jon had torn open was revealed to everyone, and a layer of light-colored membrane that was almost invisible in the dark was attached to the wound.
"Now that it's basically done, go and tell Snape about this location when you return, don't let him know about Hogg's existence. Although he can be trusted, we have to avoid risks."
"Yes, Sir, I understand."
"Also, I have already taught you how to repair this wound, so you don't have to deliberately remember this, Mischievous will help you remember. When it's time to act, you just have to pierce this membrane, understand?"
