In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 106: How about next Thursday?

He had already put the book and the quill into the cloth bag, then left the Headmaster's office and sneaked out of Hogwarts castle to the Hog's Head Inn.

Aberforth had been waiting for him here for a long time, Jon always informed him before each operation in the castle in advance, to avoid any unnecessary surprises that might occur before he could prepare.

As soon as he entered the Inn, Jon placed the cloth bag containing the Book of Admittance and the Quill of Acceptance in front of him.

"The things in here, I've got them!"

Aberforth opened the cloth bag and saw the Book of Admittance with a black dragon hide cover and the feather quill made from an Augurey feather in it, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Other aside, at least their initial goal is completed, having the book and quill in the wagon means a lot to Hogwarts.

Before when they grabbed students with Hogwarts Castle, they basically observed the movements of the professors in that castle near the beginning of the school year, and then set off, which is extremely inefficient, and there is no way to prevent additional Muggle students from enrolling each year.

But now that they have the book and quill, everything will be completely reversed, and the enrolment process at Hogwarts Castle will be much more difficult, because they will not only have to evaluate Muggle students, but also screen purebloods and half-bloods, and even if both parents are wizards, the newborn child may be a squib until he or she has thoroughly displayed his or her magical talents.

Under Voldemort's rule, the social status of a squib is not much better than that of a mudblood, and may even be worse, so some parents will conceal the fact that their child is a squib and disguise various signs that their child has shown the magical talent to fool the Ministry of Magic's investigations.

It's even more difficult to identify muggle students because there are millions of newborns every year, and the staff at Hogwarts Castle don't have that much capacity to check whose children are showing special talents, something that can cause great difficulties in their admissions work.

But for the Hogwarts wagon, who originally sought Muggle students in a risky way, along with children of purebloods and half-bloods who are dissatisfied with Voldemort's rule, and have sent their children here to Dumbledore.

Now with this book and quill, it will undoubtedly make it easier for them, and they don't even need to wait until the student reaches the age of eleven, the professor can reach out to this gifted student as soon as the Book of Admittance bears his or her name.

All in all, the existence of the Book of Admittance and the Quill of Acceptance is very important to both Hogwarts, which is why Dumbledore let Jon sneak into the castle in the first place.

And now this objective has been perfectly accomplished.

But Aberforth who revealed a smile at the sight of the book and quill reverted back to a silent face pretty soon.

Jon also sat in front of a counter without speaking, the two of them looked at each other, it was clear that under the original plan, since the purpose of the infiltration has been completed, then it is time for Jon to leave here and return to the Hogwarts wagon.

After everything happened in Hogwarts Castle, and Randy Smith, a mudblood student, went missing, regardless of Voldemort's anger at finding the Headmaster's office broken into and the books and quill stolen, it would not affect Jon Green.

But now neither Jon nor Aberforth mentioned the matter of leaving, and the silence lasted in the Inn for a good long while before Jon spoke first and asked.

"You previously said that I could get in touch with Professor Dumbledore's side tonight?"

Aberforth pulled out his pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the time on it.

"In another half an hour, the Order of the Phoenix side will be able to set up an independent floo network, which will last for roughly 48 hours, during which time you can get in touch with Albus at any time."

Jon nodded quietly, his eyes unblinkingly staring out at the darkness beyond the window as if he was thinking about what to say when he met with Dumbledore later.

Aberforth did not bother him but went on to prepare a cup of hot cocoa for him at the bar.

Time passed little by little, and at the scheduled time, Aberforth went to the front of the fireplace, took out a box of white powder by the fireplace, then pinched out a small pinch, and sprinkled it into the fire.

The original orange and bright fire turned dark green in the next second, then the flame rose, and the green fire soon formed the upper half of a man.

Dumbledore smiled at Aberforth from the floo network, and his voice came out of the fireplace.

"You look like you've been living well lately, with a much better spirit than me."

Aberforth scowled, and at the first sight of Dumbledore, he pulled his face down, like an old goat with a long stretched face.

"I'm younger than you! Of course, my spirit is much better than yours! Old thing, your student wants to see you!"

He cursed, and acted as if he was about to turn around and leave this space to Jon and Dumbledore, then suddenly and silently glared back at Dumbledore and said.

"The boy has done a remarkable thing, you can seriously consider his request."

Dumbledore just smiled and nodded at him.

Aberforth stepped to retreat behind the bar, leaving the space here for both Jon and Dumbledore, and after he left, Jon got up from his chair.

"I've got both objects, Professor."

Dumbledore's face obviously showed a surprised expression, this final result did not let him have half a surprise, since he dared to let Jon do this, it is clear that he has the ability to complete this task, but he did not expect that Jon actually acted so quickly, in just a little more than half a school year he had already completed the given goal.

"Well done, Jon, you've proved that you are far more excellent than I thought you were."

He said with emotion, but in the face of his praise and compliments, Jon's face did not show any semblance of happiness, his eyes still looked as serious as before, and his expression became heavy as he said.

"I have something I want to discuss with you now, Professor."

Seeing Jon's seriousness, Dumbledore also curbed the smile on his face, and seriously looked at Jon, nodding his head and said.

"Tell me what you have in mind."

Jon opened his mouth, he had preconceived a lot of reasons to convince Dumbledore in his mind, but now, after it really came to time for him to speak, he just asked.

"We, can we save those Muggle students in the castle, all who need to be saved?"

The room went quiet.

Behind the bar, Aberforth subconsciously stopped his hand that was wiping a glass, Jon was holding his breath, while Dumbledore in flames was showing a thoughtful and hesitant expression.

When he saw this, Jon's heart gradually sank until a few seconds later, Dumbledore suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"If. We schedule the rescue on next Thursday, will your side have enough time to prepare?"

"Bang!"

Aberforth accidentally dropped the glass on the floor, and Jon was also completely frozen.
