In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 322. Thank you from the Longbottom family (two in one)

"Actually, you can change your thinking. The small radiation range is not a problem. As long as this antenna (George pointed out that it is a broom hunter with a serious face) can be effective on any type of broomstick, then it can fly Just get up, and if you can do this, you can basically reach a range of forbidden air."

Hearing what Jon said, George, who was mainly in charge of the research and development of this thing, immediately caught sight of him.

It is really difficult to expand its range of casting spells, but if it can fly, there is no difficulty. The difficulty now is how to improve it to be able to attack all types of broomsticks efficient.

But George and Fred are not in the mood to think about this for the time being. What they really care about is Jon's current attitude. The proposal just now clearly shows that he does not contradict the research of the two of them.

"You promised to keep it a secret for us?"

Jon rubbed his temples and said with a headache.

"This is not a question of whether to help you keep it secret. As long as you stay in Hogwarts and the Burrow, you will be discovered by the adults sooner or later. And what you have created now is not small. Nao, can you really ensure that every experiment you have will not go wrong? What if something goes wrong?"

George and Fred looked at each other, and Fred cleared his throat and said.

"Of course we have also considered these things. At home, we are only conducting some experiments to confirm that there is no danger, and we have only returned home not long ago. Like Ron, this is the second time we have been home."

"As for sooner or later, an adult will find out."

Fred scratched his head, apparently he hadn't seriously thought about this question before, or subconsciously avoided it.

"Let's wait until the day we are discovered. Anyway, at most, my mother will just teach us a few words, and then let us go to the backyard to weed."

But Jon saw through his thoughts and knew that he was actually escaping.

"You can't always keep it a secret, or you don't intend to tell Professor Dumbledore after you have perfected these things that can completely become alchemy items?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Regarding this point, George replied with certainty, "We planned to come up with these things at the beginning, just to help the professors share the pressure, but at that time we were still playing around, Professor McGonagall I always thought that we were playing a prank, even if we told them, they would not believe in our ability unless we can come up with a finished product."

The Weasley twins have never been fools, they are smarter than anyone else, and they clearly know their reputation in the hearts of the professors, and they need to take action if they want to restore this reputation.

In Durmstrang, those people knew the twins for the first time, so they never knew what they had done before. Mr. Alpha, the librarian, did have an excellent vision, Grindel Wo also has considerable courage and decisiveness, even a Hogwarts student can throw an olive branch.

Well, just like when he was able to force Jon to add the appointment of Durmstrang Transfiguration Professor.

Jon looked at the "anti-disarm wand", and then turned his attention to George and the others.

"Although I think what you have produced now is enough to bring about a change for Professor Dumbledore and the others, but it seems that you yourself still need time to prepare. This is not a bad thing, anyway, you have also signed and Durmstrang's contract does not lack support and assistance, so wait until you are all ready, and then give everyone a surprise."

There was excitement in both Fred's and George's eyes.

"Of course we will prepare a big surprise. To be honest, Jon, we still have a lot of ideas waiting to be tried. Like this fake wand and the semi-finished broom hunter are just some preliminary experiments. Wait until our real results come out. In the future, it will definitely surprise everyone!"

They uttered bold words, and Jon really believed that the two had this ability.

Sometimes you have to admit that talent is a natural thing, Arthur is an excellent player in alchemy transformation, otherwise it would be impossible to apply magic to a Ford car so successfully, and George and Fred He has completely inherited his talent.

Although both of them studied some mischievous magic props in the original work, the different times will also bring about different changes.

Now is the time for them to show themselves.

Jon could provide George with some other insights, but he didn't bother them too much.There are enough things he needs to study, and specifically, the twins are no longer studying ancient runes, but it can be said that it is alchemy.

It is true that he can understand some runes, but it can be said that he has nothing to do with alchemy, so Jon and He are not arrogant enough to think that they can command experts as well as laymen.

In this way, he helped the twins hide their secrets for the time being, and stayed at the Weasley's house for about a week. Every day when he had nothing to do, he discussed with Arthur about Muggle transportation, and found fish with Hermione Ron. Go fishing with a pole in the nearby creek, or join Gabrielle and help Ginny with her summer homework.

It wasn't until a week later, in mid-July, that the planned trip finally started.

The Weasley family has not had a family outing for ten years, because the situation in England did not allow it before, whether it was the twins and Ron on the Hogwarts carriage, or in the Order of the Phoenix. The Weasleys, who Dumbledore worked for, lived precarious lives.

No one can guarantee whether the next meal can be eaten safely, let alone travel.

And this time not only because the situation has temporarily stabilized, but also because they are now in France.

Arthur and Molly may have been here before, but it was the first time for their children, so this time and place were the perfect time to travel.

Early this morning, the Weasley family had packed their things, and their trip was quite planned.

Especially Arthur, he has done enough strategies. Of course, it is impossible for wizards to go directly to the deep mountains and old forests when they go out. The places they go most are Muggle attractions and shopping malls. Individuals have planned what kind of Muggle clothes to wear.

Arthur's preparations were indeed necessary. For example, Jon did not consider that people in shorts would not be allowed to enter in some more solemn occasions.

He also seriously considered the problem of catching cold if he only wore short sleeves at night when the temperature cooled down, so he specially equipped everyone with a leather jacket.

After everything was ready, the Weasley family and Jon Hermione Gabriel first came to a tavern opened by a wizard in Lyon, where they were going to settle their lunch and wait for the Longbottom family to meet up.

They didn't have to wait long, and just as the waiter was bringing out the appetizers, Neville arrived with his dad.

Mr. Longbottom's full name was—Frank Longbottom.

This is a wizard who looks very reliable in terms of appearance. He has a firm and round face like his son's. He is not tall but definitely not short.

And when he came to the tavern and saw the Weasleys, or Jon to be precise, he stood there with a serious face, handed everything in his hand to Neville, and then solemnly The master bowed to Jon.

Jon, who was staring at an appetizer that looked like octopus balls, was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to avoid his position and avoid Frank's gift.

However, Arthur grabbed Jon's arm, did not let him avoid it successfully, and said very seriously.

"You are your due, Jon, and there is nothing to avoid."

"Actually, after I got the news that night, it was time for me to meet you to express the gratitude of the entire Longbottom family. For this reason, I wrote a letter to Neville. It was he who told me that you were still in the recuperation period. That It's not polite to bother you, so I waited until now. Neville's grandma and uncle also wanted to thank you in person, but they are all old and have limited mobility, so it's up to them to express their gratitude to you by getting rid of me. Thank you."

Frank spoke very seriously, and his actions were obviously abrupt. Fortunately, there were hardly any other guests in the tavern except the Weasleys, so it didn't attract much attention.

"Thank you for avenging Neville's mother Alice. The entire Longbottom family will be bound to you in the future. No matter what help you need, as long as it is a wizard named Longbottom, you will be at your disposal."

His promise was tantamount to putting the entire Longbottom family on Jon, because Neville's mother was not the only one who died under the hands of the Lestranges.

It is also a pure-blood family, but these two families can be said to have a deep blood feud. This time, Jon almost killed the main branch of the enemy family, Labastan, Rodolphus, and Bella, and it is indeed a great kindness to the Longbottom family. .

After being held back by Arthur and being hit by Frank, Jon didn't evade any more. He knew that Neville's father needed a psychological catharsis.

"Neville and I are friends, Mr. Longbottom," Jon said softly, "and they're both damned anyway."

"Their crime is that dying ten thousand times is not enough, but whether you are subjective or not, you are the one who avenged us. This is indisputable." Frank looked up, as if he saw Jon's behavior Feeling a little uncomfortable, "We will not always talk about our kindness, nor will we change the friendship between Neville and you because of this, but no matter what you encounter, if you need it, please tell the Longbottom family."

His words were very sincere, and Jon could feel the seriousness in them, so he nodded solemnly.

"I will."

A smile appeared on Frank's face, as if Jon's acceptance of the Longbottom family's thanks was one of the purposes of his trip.

"Okay, now that we've finished what we have to say, let's get to the table and start dinner, Frank, the children are waiting impatiently, and we can probably go directly to Nice to arrange dinner after a while."

Molly pulled Frank to sit on the chair, Neville punched Jon on the shoulder, and then followed him to sit at the dining table.

For Europeans, dinner is the time to really have a big meal, so they arranged tonight’s dinner in Nice, the first seaside city where the trip started. Lunch is at this Lyon wizard’s tavern. It’s quite a sumptuous meal. French cuisine.

Whether it was the Weasleys or the Longbottoms, or Hermione and Jon, there were very few opportunities for so many people to get together and relax.

Hermione and Ginny are teaching Gabriel how to take care of her hair; George and Fred are still whispering to avoid other people, and winking at Jon from time to time; Molly is earnestly asking I wonder if my eldest son has a girl he likes recently, and if he doesn't know how to chase a girl to be a mother, he can teach him.

Arthur, Charlie, and Frank were discussing about the fate of the dragon training grounds in Romania. Recently, it seemed that someone had bought the entire dragon training grounds; , the boring experience of being alone at home, and said that after the trip, no matter what, he asked his father to agree to let him stay at the Weasleys' house until the next semester started.

"I heard that all the schedules for the Triwizard Tournament have been confirmed. Professor Dumbledore just went to England not long ago and completed all the preparations before the start of the competition."

Neville also learned some inside information at home, and whispered to Jon Neville.

"I heard that the International Federation of Magic has already selected three referees. Not only are these people not from Europe, but they are all of mixed blood, which guarantees that they will not be wooed by any party. However, the list of referees has not yet been announced. It is said that they will It will be announced on the day of the game.”

Jon blinked his eyes, he was actually quite curious, would there be any wizards from his hometown in the International Federation of Magic.

"Have you heard where the three referees are from?"

Neville shook his head.

"That's not true. I just heard rumors that the three referees were sent by a wizard from America, Asia, and Africa."

Ron pouted.

"Actually, if you want me to say, it doesn't matter what the referee is, but the venue of the match shouldn't be in Hogwarts Castle. It's the Dark Lord's stronghold right now. If he really wants to hide other people's tricks, it won't be easy? Really? I know why Professor Dumbledore agreed to this in the first place."

In this regard, Jon, who has actually been to Hogwarts Castle, knows something inside, he shook his head and said.

"Don't look at the Dark Lord as the headmaster of that Hogwarts castle, that school may not necessarily be his territory."
