v2 Chapter 382： Return to Greengrass Manor (2 in 1)

It's a pity that Albus Dumbledore didn't bring any good news to Jon.

"It's a pity, Jon!" He waved his hand and replied, "I don't know much more about the giant's current situation than Hagrid... But I can confirm with you that it is one of mine. The spy sent me a piece of information in more than half a month; he told me that the giants had been in contact with Tom at that time..."

"what?"

Voldemort contacted the giant not long ago... Is it possible that he wants to make a big news?

Jon frowned... After losing the foresight advantage and the plot bonus, he could no longer target the Dark Lord's behavior in advance; the other party also seemed to be more tricky than expected.

However, if Voldemort is really ready to use the giant to perform a "big move"... then it may not be an opportunity.

"Okay, thank you... Professor." Jon stood up.

"Nothing." Dumbledore shook his head gently: "If you need any help, you can always find me."

At this moment, Fox had already flew back again.

An oil painting portrait with a gorgeous frame edge was gently thrown away in front of Jon by the two paws of Phoenix.

"Ouch!" The principal Phineas Nigelles Black on the portrait let out a painful scream: "Stupid...Can you move lightly? It hurts!"

Jon hurriedly bent down, picked up the portrait, and wiped the dust off.

However, when he was cleaning, Principal Phineas-Black left the portrait in his hand and reappeared in his portrait on the wall of the principal’s office.

While tidying up his messy clothes, he complained loudly-or complained that his great-great-grandson Sirius Black brought a bunch of people to the Black family's old house; or complained about Molly -Mrs. Weasley only cleans his portrait once every two months; or Grimmauld Place is too noisy to rest...

"Hart, brat!" After finishing a "long speech", he turned his attention to Jon and said endlessly: "You have to be nice to me. I will follow you out to take risks. It can be very risky. of……"

It wasn't until Headmaster Dalys-Derwent was really too quarrelsome with him, and he took out the magic wand and plugged Phineas Black's mouth, and the headmaster's office returned to peace.

Jon carefully wrapped the portrait and put it in the suitcase...

Then turned around and said goodbye to the principals one by one.

"Where are you going now, Jon?" On the wall, Principal Dairis-Derwent asked with some concern.

"If you don't say I almost forgot." Jon smiled, then asked Dumbledore, "Professor Dumbledore, can I borrow your fireplace?"

"Of course!" Albus Dumbledore nodded without objection.

With Dumbledore's permission, Jon picked up the suitcase and went to the fireplace in the principal's office.

The fireplace is clean and there is not even much ashes. It can be seen that Dumbledore does not use it often. On the mantelpiece by the side was a flower pot filled with a pile of glittering powder.

Floo powder, this cheap potion with one scoop of two Sicos... is also the most widely used transmission material in the wizarding world.

Jon was about to take out his magic wand; suddenly, a thick flame emerged from behind, and the fireplace was instantly enveloped by fire, which was beating in Jon’s eyes...

Jon turned his head and looked at the phoenix who was raising his head to ask him for credit--

"Thank you, Fox!"

Jon pinched a pinch of shining powder from the flowerpot, walked to the stove, and threw the powder into the flame.

With a whirr, the fire turned green and rose higher than Jon's height.

Then, he went straight into the fire and shouted:

"Green Grass Manor!"

The flame is burning and growing, as if to swallow the people inside...

In a blink of an eye, Jon Hart disappeared from the flames.

……

left the principal's office and also left Hogwarts Castle.

Traveling with Floo Net, this feeling is actually worse than Apparition or a door key.

Jon felt as if he was sucked into a huge socket hole, his body was spinning rapidly, and the whistling sound beside his ears was deafening...

I opened my eyes with difficulty, and the green flames kept flashing in front of my eyes, but they were not hot, but like a cold hand slapped on his cheek... A series of furnace doors flashed vaguely, and you could vaguely glimpse outside the fireplace. s room……

Until, arrived at his destination!

He appeared out of thin air in a spacious kitchen.

Holding on to the wall, Jon stood up reluctantly, and straightened the collar of his shirt a little.

The environment in the kitchen is very clean...oven, pans, knives and scissors, all tableware or kitchen utensils are quite complete; in the cabinet on one side, there are also pots of fresh lettuce, bacon and piles of wheat With flour...

Of course, besides that, there is also a house elf... She was looking at Jon dumbfounded, a little speechless.

A small and old house elf; pale skin like paper, almost hung on her skeleton... She is wearing an apron, and she is holding a silver knife and an iron pot in her hand.

Obviously, the house elf Jon knew him, the house elf "Emily" of the Greengrass family... Although she was in Greengrass Manor a few months ago, she used to be quite insulting to one of her words. Sex".

The house elf seemed to be frightened. She only heard a "pop", she threw the knife and the iron pot to the ground; then only heard a loud, echoing crack, and she disappeared out of thin air.

It seems that I was scared to apparate and leave...

Jon shook his head helplessly, then walked over, bent down, picked up the silver knife and iron pot from the ground, and put them on the dining table.

Almost at the same time, there were two loud, echoing cracks in the air; two small figures appeared at the door of the kitchen.

One of them is naturally the house elf "Emily" who has just escaped; and the other is the polite house elf butler "Hod" who impressed Jon and behaved all the time.

The house elf Hodder looked at the kitchen nervously at first, with his slender fingers in his hand... But after seeing Jon, it seemed to be relieved.

patted its mother Emia's shoulder lightly, and signaled it to leave...

Then Hodder turned around and apologized with a humble expression on his face:

"Mr. Hart, it's you... I'm sorry, few people visit Greengrass Manor through the fireplace... That's why my mother reacted so strongly."

"Nothing." Jon smiled, and then asked quickly: "Are Mrs. Diana and Astoria in the manor?"

"Madam is now working overtime at the Ministry of Magic. I'm afraid I won't be able to return until a few hours later." Hod continued with his polite gesture: "But Miss Astoria is in the manor, she has always stayed in her In the room..."

"Always?" Hearing the other party's words, Jon couldn't help but frown, and asked: "You put her under house arrest in her room?"

"Actually it is understandable... I hope you can forgive me!" Hodder shook his head first, and then nodded: "Miss Astoria’s situation is a bit special... Actually I don’t want to; but no matter it is She is still a wife, and all ask me to do this.” ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Jon snorted, but he couldn't blame the house elf in front of him. First release https://https://

"Can you take me to see her?" Jon asked.

"Of course..." Hodder nodded with a smile, and bowed deeply at the same time: "Madam has ordered me in advance to treat you like a member of the Green Grass family."

"Then I am really honored!" Jon said casually.

"Come with me, Mr. Hart!" The house elf Hodder has already made a gesture of asking.

……

Green Grass Manor is very large, and the corridors and passages inside are also more complicated.

Although I have stayed here for a few days, the road is still unfamiliar; if there is no house elf Hod's lead, Jon deeply doubts that he will get lost.

Turned a few turns, walked through a few corridors, and walked up one after another luxurious marble stairs... Ten minutes later, Jon and Hodder stopped in front of a pink wooden door.

The house elf Hodt crept up, knocked on the door of the hut, and knocked three times.

A moment later, Astoria’s voice came from inside the house: "Is it Hod...I've gone to bed, and if something happens tomorrow..."

Jon just prepared to say, since she is asleep, then forget it...

But Hodder has already used his somewhat magnetic, sharp voice to speak: "Miss Astoria...Mr. Hart just came here, he looks like he needs to see you for something!"

There was no answer... But there was a "boom boom" sound from the cabin.

After dozens of seconds, the door of the hut was opened.

A pink figure rushed over and slipped into Jon's arms.

Jon hugged Astoria lightly, and he was slightly embarrassed when he saw the house elf beside him from the corner of his eye.

Hodder turned around gracefully, and said: "Miss Astoria, Mr. Hart, then I will leave first..."

"...By the way, Mr. Hart." After a pause, he added: "I hope you don't take the lady out of the manor, otherwise it will be difficult for us!"

"I won't leave!" Astoria in his arms said firmly.

……

came to this warm nest in Astoria again.

The pink curtain is still so warm...The pictures on the wall are still so familiar.

The girl was a little embarrassed and hid behind the curtain on the side of the cabin, wearing clothes over there... She had just one pajamas on her body, so she hurried to open the door.

The snowy white owl on the desk made a few weak calls after seeing Jon walk in... Joe Green was locked in a cage, and it seemed that it hadn't been able to leave the cage to fly in this period of time.

Astoria quickly put on a decent skirt. When she got out from behind the curtain, she saw Jon carefully taking out a vase from the suitcase.

What is in the vase is not flowers, but a somewhat weird branch.

"What is this?" She asked curiously.

"Keep it well!" Jon said solemnly, then opened the cabinet of Astoria and put the branch of the Calaba-Soul Tree into the vase together:

"It may be the key to lifting the curse on you."

Because of Voldemort's "return", and he also seems to have been targeted by the Death Eaters... Many accidents may happen next. This key material for making Horcrux is not safe to keep by your side. It is better to be in a safe place.

Greengrass Manor, after all, has a history of hundreds of years, and it is a veritable pure-blood family manor... it is definitely better to put it here than by your side.

Astoria did not look at the branch, but looked straight at Jon's face.

"Jon, you've lost weight... and become black..." She murmured: "You must have suffered a lot to get it, right?"

"Actually it's okay." Jon said vaguely, "It's you, Astoria...How is your condition recently, hasn't it worsened?"

"It shouldn't have been..." Astoria smiled bitterly: "Everything else is fine, but I have been sleepy recently... Whether it is day or night, it is groggy."

"It doesn't matter..." Jon quickly comforted: "Relax, we still have a lot of time!"

"Yeah." Astoria nodded seriously.

There was no wave on his face, but Jon sighed softly in his heart... In theory, Astoria can last for up to four months, but it's only a theory; during these four months, the blood curse is at any time It may happen, she may lose herself at any time...

But I have no idea about the whereabouts of the giant.

If an accurate method of soul separation is not available, then one can only forcefully create a Horcrux... In that case, Astoria might be dead for a lifetime.

……

To cover up his inner irritability and panic, Jon stood up, and at the same time lifted his suitcase.

"Can you find me a quieter, more airy room?" He asked Astoria, "I have something to do."

"Can't it be on my side?" Astoria asked in a soft voice like a mosquito.

"Of course not...it will be dangerous." Jon shook his head decisively: "I need a room to make some potions!"
