When Draco heard Jon's words, his already pale face became noticeably paler.
"He doesn't know my father is. If he understands, you will definitely win, then he will definitely."
"If everyone knows that we will win, then everyone can make the right choice, Mr. Malfoy."
Jon looked into his eyes and said.
"No one could have predicted this at the beginning, but some people have a ruler in their hearts, and in your father's mind, his ruler is still swinging from side to side. He feels that there is still plenty of time and opportunity, and some It allows him to consider the situation clearly and then make a choice."
Draco pursed his lips, and fell silent.
Jon was telling the truth, and it was precisely because he was telling the truth that Draco was terrified.
No one knows his father's temper better than him. Lucius will never let go of what he has grasped if he doesn't see the benefits that he can definitely get, especially if he is close to Dumbledore. not available.
If this continues, Lucius will only be left with a dead end.
It’s not been a long time since he came to Hogwarts, but Draco has clearly seen the gap between the two sides. Excluding the combat power of Dumbledore and Voldemort at the top, among the remaining wizards, a phoenix The people in the club can beat at least three Death Eaters!
It's not that the Death Eaters have been so unbearable from the very beginning, but that the long-term life of luxury and money has drained their fighting spirit, and these people have long since lost the stage where they could risk their lives in order to obtain tangible benefits as they did in the beginning.
Now they are all defenders of their interests, and saving their lives is the biggest prerequisite for continuing to enjoy it.
The members of the Order of the Phoenix already have nothing. Many of their friends and family members have died under the bloodline policy, so they will never look back, and no matter when they will fight with their lives, they will fight for a future.
A life-saving, a desperate, which direction the balance of victory will of course tilt is clear.
Even in terms of combat power at the highest level, it is obvious that there is no such thing as a stable and overwhelming situation between Voldemort and Dumbledore.
The compromise after the Triwizard Tournament is enough to show that Voldemort is very unconfident about being able to beat Dumbledore.
In addition, although Draco couldn't remember what happened when he was in the castle, he could vaguely feel that Jon must have done something terrible in the castle that day.
Dumbledore obviously has successors on the Wuping Line, and Voldemort has yet to have a figure who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Jon.
Just the famous Death Eaters who died under Jon's hand can't be counted in one slap, let alone their peers.
So reason and reality tell Draco that, judging from the current situation, Voldemort's chances of winning are really small,
Taking a step back, if Voldemort and Dumbledore ended up fighting together and losing both sides, it would mean that the Wuping Line side would win, and the British Ministry of Magic would have no chance at all.
It was precisely because of this figured out that Draco felt so anxious about his parents' situation.
He has now been brought to France, and after being screened by the public trial, there will definitely not be any security problems later on.
But both Lucius and Narcissa are still serving Voldemort in the UK. If there will be a public trial in the UK in the future, it is basically Narcissa who is a housewife. Fortunately, the crimes committed by Lucius will definitely be hanged. , Even if the guilt is divided into three parts, he will be hanged three times!
Draco loved his family, and he may have realized by now that his father was full of crimes, but he also didn't want Lucius to be hanged.
After a long silence, Draco raised his head again, and he said in a completely pleading tone.
"Can you give me a chance to communicate with my dad? I will help you, and he will listen to me. If he is really willing to help you, he will definitely be able to make meritorious deeds, right?"
Jon didn't immediately reject Draco's idea.
Whether Draco's behavior in the original book or his previous performance in Hogwarts Castle can be called bad, but it is not too sinful, his character is spoiled, and he lacks certain morality. Education, in essence, still has some conscience.
It was precisely because of this that he was not convicted of any felony in that public trial.
So Jon didn't really want him to feel that helpless despair, so he didn't say anything to death.
"I can't give you any guarantee for the time being, but no one can tell what will happen in the future. I can only say that if there is such an opportunity in the future, I can help you."
To get such a promise, Draco was already satisfied.
He was already a prisoner, and Jon had no obligation to do anything for him.
After that, Draco didn't continue to occupy Jon's time, and left after being grateful from the bottom of his heart.
When he saw Jon before, he had only fear in his heart, but now he really felt grateful.
Because maybe he doesn't remember the specific picture, but Draco still remembers the fact that Jon really saved his life.
Draco's matter was just a small episode for Jon.
Time is still passing bit by bit, and one month after returning from England, his appearance has finally grown into the same appearance as when he participated in the Triwizard Tournament.
Of course, Jon was very satisfied with this, and the friends around him also said that he finally looked pleasing to the eyes in this way, and Hermione's gaze at him no longer became twisted and weird.
The only person who expressed dissatisfaction with this matter was Gabriel.
Her situation is different from that of Jon. In fact, her real age should be ten years old now, and she will be the age to enter the magic school next year.
But because of the dead soul water, her body didn't show any signs of growth during the two years when she became a ghost. She still had the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old girl, looking very immature.
If an ordinary girl encountered such a thing, she would wish to be a few years younger, but Gabriel was obviously not happy at all.
In this way, the age gap between her and Jon seems to be getting bigger and bigger. It was okay when Jon’s appearance became smaller before, but now after two months, he has returned to his normal age. , which made Gabriel even more depressed.
Fortunately, after entering August, a piece of news that was enough to cheer her up was brought back.
Her parents and sister, who had been separated from her for more than two years, finally had a clue.
When the Delacours began to show signs of implementing the theory of blood in France, they fled overnight. The time was so tight that they didn't even have time to pick up their little daughter who was fostered in Madame Maxime's house.
Because Mrs. Delacour has half Veela blood, under the theory that even wizards cannot tolerate mixed blood, the blood of this magical creature mixed with wizards is even more unacceptable to wizards who believe in the theory of blood. .
Knowing that if they stayed in France all the time, it would be an extremely terrible ending for their family, so it was a wise decision to flee immediately.
As for where they fled afterwards, there has been no news. When Jon followed Dumbledore to France for the first time, he only heard from Mrs. Maxime who was also planning to leave France because of her giant blood. The traces of the Delacour family.
But now, someone in Northern Europe discovered the whereabouts of Mrs. Maxime in Denmark, and also learned clues about Delacour's family from her.
As for why they didn't take the initiative to come to France for so long, it's easy to guess.
Wu Pingxian has not yet been established. When Voldemort ruled the two magical governments of Britain and France by himself, the attitude of the entire European magic community was ambiguous with him.
If you don't want to escape to other continents, the best way to avoid the persecution of the wizarding world is to completely cut off any contact with wizards and try to integrate into the life of Muggles.
In this way, of course they can guarantee their safety, and no one can find them, but at the same time, they also have no way to understand what happened in the world of wizards.
For example, Mrs. Maxim who has been found has been hiding in an inaccessible valley in Denmark before.
It's not that she doesn't want to integrate into Muggle society, but that her body shape is too obvious, and she attracts the most attention no matter where she goes, so she can't live her life drinking Polyjuice Potion every day.
People from Wu Pingxian also learned some news about Delacour's family from her. She came to Denmark following the trail of the couple.
After the news was brought back to France, Gabriel, who was already in a panic at school, couldn't sit still.
She asked Professor McGonagall to let her go together with Mrs. Maxim who was still in Denmark to find her family together.
McGonagall didn't want to agree at first. After all, Gabriel is a little girl who doesn't even have a magic wand. Even if the situation in Northern Europe is not as turbulent as France and England, it doesn't mean that absolute safety can be guaranteed.
It was only later that after Jon offered to go with Gabriel, McGonagall agreed.
Originally, Gabriel was almost moved to tears when she heard that Jon was willing to help her and go to Denmark with her to find her parents and sister.
But on the day of departure, Gabriel's delicate and lovely face collapsed on the spot.
"Why are you still there?"
She looked at Hermione, who was wearing white short sleeves on her upper body, a pleated skirt on her lower body, her long chestnut curly hair neatly combed into a single ponytail, and a peaked cap on her head like a sunshade, and she questioned.
Hermione looked like she hadn't been dressed like this in a long time, straightening her peaked cap.
"Why, I'm not welcome, Gabriel."
Their private relationship is actually very good, but according to Gabriel's imagination, she and Jon should be the only ones on this trip, but now an unexpected person appears, and of course she becomes resentful.
Especially at this time, Jon was not wearing a robe like before, but also a T-shirt and jeans, which looked like he had discussed it with Hermione in advance.
This made Gabriel even more out of place, as if this trip was supposed to be a trip that Jon and Hermione had arranged together, and she was the one who went along.
"Of course, welcome~"
She made a long ending sound, and anyone could hear the reluctance in that voice.
Jon pulled her to his side, then spun her around like a spinning top, and said in admiration.
"Our trip was basically in the Muggle society. If you dress like this, everyone will think that some little girl misremembered the date of Halloween and ran out to ask for candy at the wrong time."
"I'm not young!"
Gabriel emphasized this matter very deliberately.
"I'll be able to go to school next year! I've already asked Professor Dumbledore about this, and he promised me!"
Jon shrugged, rubbing Gabriel's silver-white hair like a dog's head.
"Well, well, Gabriel isn't a kid anymore."
Gabriel was obviously very dissatisfied with Jon's insincere words. She broke her head from Jon's hand and said angrily.
"Then what am I wearing now?"
Jon spread his hands helplessly. Of course he didn't prepare more, but Hermione handed Gabriel a brown paper bag that she had been carrying all along.
"I prepared it for you, go and put it on."
Now Gabriel was finally embarrassed to show any dissatisfaction with Hermione. She took the bag from Hermione's hand coyly, thanked him politely, then gave Jon a look, then turned and went to the girls' bathroom next to her to change clothes. went.
Hermione was really considerate in preparing her, a white dress that fit her perfectly.
After coming to Lyon and having a stable teaching environment, Hogwarts will of course not restrict students from going out every holiday, and will also give them a pocket money so that they can occasionally buy something for themselves.
Hermione had apparently bought the dress with money she had saved.
It was precisely because of this that Gabriel reluctantly accepted the fact that there was a third person traveling to Denmark with her.
In fact, she didn't really have any thoughts at first. After all, the little girl had never been separated from her parents and family for such a long time. She missed her loved ones so much that she couldn't wait to leave and set off.
So just like that, Jon Hermione and Gabriel came to Denmark through the Floo network in Hogwarts.
Their landing point is Wupingxian's station in Northern Europe, and they are usually responsible for receiving material assistance from the Wuzi Party, and it is here that they met with the previous principal of Beauxbaton School of Magic, Mrs. Maxim.
Compared with when Jon saw her before, the current Madame Maxime was significantly thinner, but her broad frame still made her stand out from the crowd.
