In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 107: Take them out

"Are you-you sure about that, Professor?"

Jon asked incredulously, his eyes widening as he looked at Dumbledore, who was once again smiling in the fireplace.

Aberforth behind the bar had come back to his senses by this time and began to gather the shards of glass on the floor with a grimace.

In the end, they are still biological brothers, even if he does treat his brother poorly, he understands his character very well.

This is obviously something long planned by Dumbledore, from the beginning when he asked Jon to enter the castle, he must have thought about saving these mudblood students, only he did not tell Jon about this purpose at the beginning, but now since he has brought back the book and quill, he mentioned it willingly.

"To be honest, Jon." Dumbledore spoke, "in fact, I had already intended to do so when I let you into that castle in the first place, only at that time I was not sure if things would progress to this point or not, and this progress does not only refer to you at this side, there are other more aspects."

"But your progress is beyond my expectations, while on the other side, they have also been preparing for many years, originally I wanted them to wait until June of this year, and now it seems that they no longer have to wait."

Dumbledore stared at Jon straight.

"Now there is an opportunity, Jon, an opportunity not created by me nor you, but another group of people who are experiencing suffering, they had selected a suitable opportunity to act, on Thursday next week. At that time, as long as you can take those students out of Hogwarts Castle, I will send Minerva, Kingsley and the others to meet you on the outskirts of Hogsmeade."

Jon's throat was a little dry, he did not expect Dumbledore had actually already prepared everything, and his voice became a little nervous.

"But the pact on them is yet to be resolved, if they go out of the confines of Hogwarts, then the school faculty, as well as the Ministry of Magic staff, will all be alerted, and then even the Dark Lord will personally come over."

"I have received a very reliable intelligence, Jon." Dumbledore said softly, "An important matter will hold up the Dark Lord on the coming Thursday, and no matter what happens, he will not have a chance to appear at Hogwarts Castle. And the rest of the Ministry of Magic, they all have other work that they have to get done, including some of the faculty in Hogwarts Castle will be gone by then, and that's a perfect opportunity."

"All I have to do is get them out of the castle?" Jon asked again, "At what time next Thursday, is it during the day or at night?"

Dumbledore's face became grave.

"During the day, between 11:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. We must find a way to successfully bring them out within those two hours, if we miss that time, then we won't have another chance after that."

Jon's brow furrowed deeply.

With the invisibility cloak in hand, he could bring the students to the secret passage entrance in the dead of night, but in the daytime, with so many people watching, even with the invisibility cloak, it would not work at all.

The invisibility cloak can only hide up to four students in total, Jon can only send them to the front of the secret passage one by one, the mudblood students are not that ironclad, if any students are missing, a senior student who has been domesticated will surely report it to Dolohov, and then things will definitely be exposed.

"I know that it is difficult for you to act during the day, but this time frame can not be changed, you can only try to figure it out." Dumbledore seriously urged.

Jon nodded deeply at this.

Although Dumbledore did not say it explicitly, Jon can feel the opportunity created now is very uncommon, and even if there are difficulties, he must try to find a way to overcome them.

"After they come out, someone will help to break the pact on their bodies, but the first key point is taking them out. And finally remember that no matter what, Jon, if you are forced to the point where you have to make a trade-off, you must protect yourself as the main priority."

After saying this last sentence, the conversation with Dumbledore ended.

The flame in the fireplace changed back to orange from the ghastly green, and the Inn became quiet again.

Aberforth wiped up the greasy counter in a rare moment, and he looked at Jon, who had fallen into deep thought, and asked.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Jon slowly shook his head, but his face did not show any sign of distress, but instead, he looked at the burning and jumping fire, his eyes reflecting the bright yellow fire, his voice calm and decisive.

"Hanton was envious of the other students who had flying brooms to fly, but he could only hold the broom and use it to clean the lavatory; Ariel didn't say it outright, but everyone could tell she missed the cashmere hat her mother knitted for her; the first-year student named Colin kept crying secretly, whispering to himself that he was supposed to have a camera of his own by now; they are all only in their teens; No one should be slaves in this castle day and night, and no one should lose the freedom they should have, so I'll try to find a way to get them out of this prison!"

***

In the underground dormitory of Hogwarts, the mudbloods returned to their rooms as usual after the day's classes and labours, and Dolohov locked the door from the outside as night fell once again.

Near midnight, Jon knocked on Hermione's room door and said after the door was opened.

"Next Thursday, Professors from another Hogwarts will meet us at Hogsmeade, and all we have to do is get the students out."

Hermione was frozen.

She did not expect things to move so quickly, she is smarter than many of her peers and knows that after signing the enrolment pact, mudblood students can not easily escape from the cage that is known as Hogwarts Castle.

As long as they go out of the Hogwarts school, they will immediately be found, which Dolohov had warned them about when they first entered this castle.

Originally Hermione thought that even if Jon wanted to save them from these people, they should at least wait until the start of this year's summer holidays, wait until that time when the mudblood students will be openly allowed to leave Hogwarts Castle, which is the best time to save them, but now it is just February.

"Is there something unexpected that happened that caused the plan to be brought forward?" She asked with slight unease.

Jon shook his head.

"At first the plan was timed on next Thursday, but now there's a problem, we can't move at night, we have to get the students who need to be rescued out of Hogwarts Castle all together between 11:00 and 1:00 pm that day."
