In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"You've been in your dormitory for almost two weeks, and we have to tell you this, Jon! It's a matter of life and death for Hogwarts!"

Ron had a serious look on his face and a very serious tone, as if he wanted to attract the attention of Jon who was sketching on a piece of parchment full of spells.

When Jon heard his sensational words, he obviously paused while holding the pen in his hand, and then stared at Ron, without following his words to ask what kind of big thing could be so serious, and said.

"If something like this really happens, you should go find the professor. Why are you coming to me in a panic?"

Ron and Justin looked at each other. Before they came, they didn't expect Jon's reaction to be so dull.

"Because the professor should already know about this. It was only when I overheard my father chatting with the guests at home that I found out what happened in the school!"

Ron lowered his voice and carefully turned his head left and right to look around, but was startled when Neville suddenly opened the door and walked in with a stack of books in his arms.

"Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in!" Ron gasped.

Neville looked innocent.

"This is my own dormitory. Do I have to knock on the door when I come in?"

Because he burned his vacation homework by randomly using the levitating spell a few days ago, Neville has been catching up on his homework in the library these days, and he and Jon are verifying the spell combination in the dormitory so that they don't disturb each other.

But because of this, he didn't have many opportunities to interact with Ron and others, so obviously he didn't know what Ron said about the life and death of Hogwarts.

"The person who came to my house during the holidays was Kingsley Shacklebolt. He used to be an elite Auror in the Ministry of Magic before that man came to power, and he is now a top player in the Order of the Phoenix. He and my father were chatting in the study about Horton. Some top-secret information I overheard outside the door during the two attacks on Gwartz last semester..."

Neville interrupted with a frown.

"Any conversation about the Order of the Phoenix must be strictly confidential. You should not eavesdrop or come back to school to tell us."

Ron waved his hands dissatisfied.

"The problem is that they were talking about school-related things. Don't you want to know why the school was attacked twice in a row?"

"Professor McGonagall said last time that someone had sneaked into the carriage..."

"Then do you know who this person is?"

No matter how mature his mind was, Neville was still only 11 years old. Little by little, his curiosity was aroused by Ron's words.

"who is it?"

"Goblins or house elves!" Ron said excitedly. "Kingsley said that the night we were attacked on Christmas, some students saw the infiltrator's shoes. I can't believe it! Why didn't the professors tell us this? It didn't even say who the student was?"

Jon just listened silently and said nothing. In fact, he almost guessed what the "shattering secrets" that Ron overheard were from the beginning. The reason why these things were not publicized by Professor McGonagall and others was actually to protect him. As a result, Ron actually heard some inside stories at home.

"But that night, Kingsley and many people in the Order of the Phoenix failed to find the infiltrator on the carriage. Even now, this creature, who doesn't know whether it is a goblin or a house elf, is still hiding in the school!"

The shock on Neville's face really satisfied Ron's desire for expression, but it was a pity that Jon still looked as calm as ever, which made him feel happy but not that happy.

"Don't you think this is dangerous, Jon? A magical creature that has taken refuge in the Ministry of Magic is hiding among us!" Ron said anxiously, thinking that Jon had not realized the seriousness of the problem.

"No matter how dangerous it is, aren't there still professors here? They must know about this matter, but they haven't gathered us together yet, which means that the matter has not reached the point where you said it may be related to the life and death of Hogwarts." Jon said He spread his hands and said.

Seeing him like this, Ron could only grit his teeth and choose to use his trump card. He lowered his voice and moved closer.

"The professors did not realize the danger. It is very likely that they subconsciously chose to believe everyone in the castle. Even if the infiltrator could hide, the whole carriage is only so big. Where could he hide to ensure that he would not be found?"

Jon frowned slightly.

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing that he finally seemed to be paying attention, a proud smile suddenly appeared on Ron's face.

"Someone in the school must be helping him hide! Only in this way can we explain why so many Aurors were looking for him but couldn't find him!"

To be honest, Ron's analysis was not unreasonable, and it could be said that it was completely justified. Jon couldn't help but look serious.

"Do you know who this person is who helps him at school?"

"Of course I can guess who this person is." The expression on his face became even more proud. He was deliberately trying to seduce the appetites of Jon and others, "It's just that the professors have always believed that the adults on the carriage are reliable. trustworthy."

"Tell me, Ron, tell us, who is this person?" Justin begged impatiently.

Ron said categorically: "This person must be Filch!"

Jon: "..."

Well, when he first thought that maybe Ron could actually detect some key clues, he was actually stupid enough.

This guy simply puts his hat on anyone he hates in his heart.

Looking at Jon's dead eyes when he told him the answer, Ron clearly felt his distrust and continued anxiously.

"Don't believe it, haven't you noticed that Filch has been acting very strangely?"

Jon still looked at him blankly.

"What's weird?"

"We have been attacked twice, but we have never seen him fighting side by side with the professors! I also heard George and Fred say that they have not even seen each other in Hogwarts for so long. Filch, take out your wand!"

"What does this mean?"

"It means that he doesn't want to go against the Ministry of Magic or that man's men at all! He must have always wanted to clear himself of the wanted person and return to that castle as a castle administrator instead of living under Dumbledore's hands. . Now helping a mole who sneaked into the carriage is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to plead guilty to the Ministry of Magic!"

Ron's analysis was indeed very reasonable and had enough evidence, and even Neville was convinced by him.

Only Jon held his forehead with a headache.

Call him stupid, he can still find so many details. If you want to call him smart, he has already reasoned this far. Why can't he think that the reason why Filch can't fight without a wand is actually because he is a squib who can't cast spells?
