Chapter 5 5. Hybrids
After staying in the wooden house until the afternoon, Lily took out a pocket watch from her robe pocket, looked at the time on it, then stood up and led Jon out of the safe room.

There is a dense forest outside, and this place should be a very secluded place in an untouched mountain range.

"Are we going to Hogwarts now?"

Even if Lily had deliberately slowed down his pace, Jon, whose body was still in the rapid development stage, still had to speed up his pace in order to follow her.

"Correct."

"Then why don't you just use the magic that you took me to escape?"

"The Ministry of Magic can use the starting point of the apparition to determine the landing point of the apparition. This safe house can help us temporarily hide the location of the landing point, but we can't use this kind of magic when we go to Hogwarts. "

Jon looked up suspiciously and continued to ask.

"Then are we going to walk to Hogwarts like this? Or have you prepared some kind of transportation?"

Lily said calmly

"We just need to go for a while, and then Hogwarts will come to us by itself."

Just half an hour after they left, Barty Crouch Jr. arrived at the safe house in the woods with a team of Aurors.

Looking at the extinguished fire and the teacup with chocolate left in it, the professor of another Hogwarts Charms class turned livid.

"Well, very, it happens every year, again. Once again we let that woman get away with the Mudblood right under our noses."

The Aurors bowed their heads obediently, no one dared to look at the young man who was favored by that man in front of him.

Little Barty's eyes were cold, and he was completely different from his gentle performance in front of Jon before.

"I really want to know, it's been so long, why the Auror Office hasn't worked out a way to deal with these safe house magic!"

Among the Aurors, a young wizard swallowed, and explained with a trembling voice and gritted his teeth.

"Professor Crouch, a large part of the manpower in the headquarters has been devoted to deciphering this kind of magic. If it was the kind of magic used by these fugitives a year ago, we would definitely be able to decipher it in the first place. The hiding magic applied on the house has been changing, and this year a new spell has been added to it, so the previous research is useless."

Little Barty stared at the wizard who spoke, the coldness on his face gradually subsided, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile.

"What's your name?"

The young wizard seemed to feel the friendliness from his smile, but he didn't see that the old Aurors around him were secretly looking at him with pity.

With a smile on his face, he stammered.

"I, my name is Andrew Williams, Professor. In the last two years at Hogwarts, I also took your Charms class."

Little Barty gently rotated the wand in his hand with three fingers, his voice sounded extremely gentle.

"I remember that the surname Williams does not seem to exist in pure-blood families, and the Ministry of Magic will never recruit mudbloods as employees. So, are you a half-blood?"

"Yes, yes, Professor"

"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"

That smiling face that was gentle one second turned into an incomparably ferocious and terrifying face the next.

Under the tip of Little Barty's staff, the young wizard curled up like a boiled prawn and writhed violently on the ground. The pain from the depths of his soul was accompanied by the wailing in his mouth, which shocked the forest A large flock of birds.

"what!!!"

"A bastard with dirty and impure blood flowing from his body, what are you!"

He stomped his leather boots on the young Auror again and again, as if venting the anger he had pent up all day.

"In the entire Auror Command, the only person who is qualified to explain these words to me is your director, Lucius Malfoy, you know! Bastard!"

The sun was halfway below the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a layer of orange tulle on the surrounding houses.

Lily came out of the woods with Jon, and soon came to a nearby Muggle town.

When she got out of the woods, she took off the gray robe she was wearing, and she was wearing an ordinary top and jeans. Her dark red hair was also turned dark brown by her spell.

The two walked on the streets of the small town together, like a mother and son going out for a walk, without attracting attention at all.

After Jon followed Lily out of the safe house, he had been walking non-stop for two or three hours.

After all, he is still a child's body now, after walking for such a long time, his body has long felt exhausted.

Fortunately, after arriving in this small town, Lily had no intention of continuing to walk, and took Jon to find a bench by a secluded road to sit down and rest.

Jon was still very curious about the phrase "Hogwarts will come to us".

In the original book, the castle built by the four founders is now clearly occupied by Voldemort.

So what kind of place will Hogwarts led by Dumbledore, who is always wanted, teach?

He was not in a hurry to ask Lily, anyway, he would know the answer by himself soon, but raised his own doubts about another matter.

"Professor Potter, am I the only one coming to Hogwarts today?"

Lily's right hand is always inserted in her jeans pocket, so as to hide the magic wand, and at the same time, she can counteract the accident at the first time.

"I am not the only professor who went out from the school to guide Muggle students. And you are not the only student I am responsible for bringing back today."

Having said that, her face obviously became a little gray.

"Before I went to you, I went to the home of another girl named Hermione Granger. When I got there, the girl's parents didn't remember that they had a daughter."

Jon was stunned on the spot.

Hermione Granger, this name is naturally familiar to him who has read the original book!
This is also the situation of the people in the protagonist's team that he heard for the first time, and the meaning of Lily's words.
Jon took a deep breath and looked at the witch beside him with a complicated expression.

"You said that if a student like me was taken away by another Hogwarts, those people would erase the memories of everyone who knew me. This girl named Hermione Granger"

Lily's voice was calm, but the anger, self-blame and powerlessness hidden under the calmness could not be concealed at all.

"That's right, she signed the admission letter and was taken away by another Hogwarts professor like Barty Crouch Jr."
