In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 213 211. The Meaning of Black

In fact, there was no need for Jon to explain anything on board. The reason why he chose not to stay on the tower for the first night was just for insurance.

If the friendliness during the dinner was all pretended by this Sir Stoke, and he actually discovered Jon's identity from the very beginning, then he would definitely try to report this to Voldemort tonight.

The entire Hogwarts students are undoubtedly very attractive to Voldemort. As long as they can hold all the students in their hands, Dumbledore can make him avoid the mouse, which will be of great benefit to him in stabilizing French rule in the future.

And this first night is the most dangerous.

It's not that he said that if there is no problem tonight, Sir Stoke's suspicion can be ruled out, but if he has a problem, there is no reason to wait any longer.

The more you delay, the more accidents will happen. If you report your findings as soon as possible, then no matter what problems happen, he will only have the credit.

The night passed.

The whole night was as calm as the sea they were in, without any accidents.

So early the next morning, Jon took Neville and the others back to the tower again.

It was still the house elf named Rabiel who received them and led them into the drawing room.

Sir Stoke was eating breakfast, and he specially prepared one for Jon and the others.

"This tower is actually very big. I converted some floors into pastures. There are many poultry, pigs, cattle and sheep in captivity. Rabiel usually takes care of them to ensure that even if I live such a life away from human habitation, It can also be self-sufficient.”

Breakfast was a sandwich with milk and omelette. Although Jon and the others had already eaten on the boat, they did not refuse to serve it.

"I've already arranged everything on board, sir, and I'm going to stay to bother you for a few days."

Jon exchanged pleasantries, said unnutritious words, and then asked with a smile.

"I wonder if you can introduce this tower to us? You know that children of this age are very curious. Since we accept your invitation to live here, we must respect your rules."

Sir Stoke wiped his glasses, his movements were serious and elegant, and he dressed and dressed as meticulously as an orthodox nobleman. Facing Jon's question, he said calmly.

"Don't worry, Professor Johnson, I'm not hiding anything dangerous in the tower." He was straightforward, with clear eyes and even sincere, "I understand your concern about being responsible for the safety of your students, but I'm not a black man A black wizard who lives in seclusion here only for magic experiments, the only thing I'm interested in in my life is astronomy, after graduating from Beauxbatons, I even forgot how to use Apparition."

"Everywhere in the tower, you can come and go as you please, and I can guarantee that there will be no danger. But the reason why I am willing to ask you to stay is that there are indeed some things that I want to help you with."

I haven't been with Sir Stoke for a long time. The two have only known each other for such a long time since last night until this morning. Jon can clearly see that he is not very good at communication and getting along with people. .

Not only what he said was straightforward, but also what he did. Jon thought that the reason why he warmly entertained himself and others had "a purpose" and it would take at least two or three days before he revealed some clues. However, he did not expect that today Early in the morning, he unabashedly expressed his need for help.

But think about it, it is normal for an "old otaku" who has been around for decades to have such a personality. He has not communicated and communicated with outsiders for a long time. If he is a communication genius, then people need to be suspicious.

Jon was naturally happy to speak more clearly.

"You can just tell me what help you need, sir, we have accepted your hospitality, and we will definitely not refuse to help you if you can."

Sir Stoke put down the knife and fork in his hand. Instead of answering Jon directly, he got up and said.

"If it's convenient, professor, can you go to a place with me alone? Your students will be guided around the tower by Rabir, and you can directly ask him if you have any needs."

Jon and Neville looked at each other, then nodded, and said in a slightly stern voice.

"Don't trouble others in other people's homes, don't forget that we are guests."

Neville understood, and he bowed his head in agreement.

"We'll be watching, Professor Johnson."

Then Jon left the drawing room with Sir Stoke.

And after they left, there were only Neville, the five of them, and the elf Rabiel, um, or that black cat.

Luna was obviously more curious about the black cat. She waved at the cat tentatively, but the cat was lying on the armrest of the sofa, and seemed to ignore everyone.

"Black animals have ominous meanings in some places."

She whispered to herself, and only Hermione, who was sitting next to her, heard what she said.

Hermione glanced at Rabiel first, and after making sure that it didn't hear Luna's obviously disrespectful speech, she lowered her voice.

"It's a matter of custom, like ravens are also black, but in England it's a good luck symbol, and Muggles used to cut off part of the raven's wings to make sure they didn't fly off the Tower of London, to make sure the country wouldn't Suffer bad luck."

Li heard their chat from the side, and couldn't help complaining.

"If I were a crow whose wings were cut off to prevent them from flying away, then I would definitely not have the mood to bless them."

"So this is just a metaphor and a symbol." Hermione said, "People only care about whether this symbol exists, but they don't consider whether its existence is reasonable or not."

While they were chatting, Neville also started to move.

In Jon's absence, he was the one among the five students who was responsible for making the decision to act.

He looked at Rabiel who had been standing respectfully aside.

"Can we take a casual tour?"

"Of course, the master said that you can go anywhere in this tower without restrictions."

After getting confirmation from it, Neville took Ron Hermione and they left the living room together, went down the stairs, and started wandering around the tower.

As Sir Stoke promised, Rabiel did not obstruct where they were going, but he did not completely let go. Instead, he followed them all the time, saying that it was convenient to provide them with services at any time.

But Neville is not an ordinary 14-year-old boy who grew up with protection and love. From Rabiel's current performance, he can clearly understand that the Sir is not as verbal as he said. Nothing is taboo.
