Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Hallucinations (2 in 1)

On the first day of the new academic year, Hogwarts was not affected by the Dementor attack last night.

According to the class schedule, the students ate breakfast and then went to the classroom where their classes would begin in the new academic year.

But although classes were not affected, students could not really treat yesterday's events as if they had never happened.

Only a dozen students actually saw a dementor at that time, and most of the other students on the wagon didn't even know what a dementor really is, which is something they have yet to learn.

During class time, the students who had seen the dementors were describing the monster to the other students in graphic detail.

But in fact, in that situation, most of them were stunned by the deadly aura, and now if you really let them describe the specific look of the creatures they saw, it would turn into all kinds of strange shapes and sizes.

Many were just able to state the gray tattered robe and tall thin body correctly, then break it down, some said the dementor had a demon face, some said it had a skull on its head, while others said the creature had nothing at all on its neck and was a headless monster.

Such remarks soon met with a rebuttal from the parents of one of the young wizard children, saying that if the dementors were a skeleton or had no head at all, it would be impossible for them to kiss others, and even more impossible for them to suck the souls of wizards in this way.

As the person who was closest to the dementors at the scene, Jon didn't join in their discussion either.

He was not interested in what kind of face the dementors had hidden under the cloak, what he was most concerned about now was his progress in learning the Patronus Charm.

Before he started learning this charm, he expected that in the future Patronus Charm will definitely be very useful, but he never expected that even before his third-year student life had begun, the dementors had already launched an attack on the wagon.

This time, the attack actually took place in a very strange way.

Jon had learned from Lupin that the reason why they successfully escaped from Azkaban Island earlier this year was that more than thirty members of the Order of the Phoenix who were imprisoned there used the Patronus Charm together.

The positive emotions that overflowed out completely knocked off the Dementors' siege, which gave them the chance to meet up with Moody who rushed to pick them up.

The Ministry of Magic could not be unaware of such information, there are more than thirty people in the Order of the Phoenix who have learned the Patronus Charm, and were able to rush out of Azkaban Island, the home base of the Dementors, so how can these monsters who have now arrived at their home ground British Isles be able to cause effective suppression on the Hogwarts wagon?

Jon did not see what happened last night, but despite so many dementors swarming, Dumbledore alone was able to solve such a crisis outside the wagon, so he really couldn't see what kind of significance such an attack that can be described as "harassment" could possibly have.

This is exactly similar to abetting Percy's betrayal, in addition to giving the students on the wagon some psychological impact, there is no other practical effect.

If this is Voldemort's response to what happened in the first half of the year, then his behaviour is more like a vanity project, without getting any semblance of tangible results.

But the reason the dementors can't affect the wagon is that the Professors and the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix are skilled in the Patronus charm, and Jon doesn't like the feeling of putting his safety in the hands of others to be protected, he badly wants to speed up the learning progress of the Patronus charm to prevent the situation where he has to face the dementors alone one day, yet he has no means to fight back.

After the last potion class in the morning, Jon went to the great hall with Neville, Hermione and the rest of them to settle their lunch.

On the way, they met Ginny and Luna, who had also just left class, except it seemed like they were walking over here on purpose.

"Green senior."

The red-haired Ginny hesitantly called out to Jon, and Jon could see that they had something to discuss with him, so he stopped in his tracks and gestured to Neville, Hermione, Ron and the others to go to the great hall first.

"Just call me Jon, I have a good relationship with a few of your brothers, there is no need to address me so distantly." He said casually.

"Can I also directly call you Jon?"

Next to Ginny, the girl with wooden corks around her neck and Plum-shaped earrings hanging from her ears blinked her prominent eyes and asked in an ethereal voice.

She seemed a little homely and spoke with a sort of wispy voice, yet her gaze was as serious as ever.

Of course, Jon knew the girl's name, and he smiled at Luna.

"That's perfectly fine, you can call me Jon, I can also call you Luna can't I?"

The girl with the plum-shaped earrings said matter-of-factly.

"That's the fairest thing to do."

"We didn't come to find you to talk about names Jon, and it's not time Luna."

Ginny hurriedly and quickly got to the point as she saw the conversation was at risk of being carried away by Luna.

"Gabrielle has been in quite a bad state since she returned to the dorm room last night. We were worried about her, but we hadn't even seen a dementor, so we didn't know how to cheer her up. Then this morning when we woke up we realized she wasn't in the dorm room, and we couldn't find her all morning."

Jon frowned slightly, to be honest, he originally thought that the dementors should not have that much effect on the ghost, after all, they are already dead people.

Now it seems that the Gabrielle who drank the Draught of Living Ghost is quite different from the usual ghosts, not to mention that yesterday she was the closest to the dementors that appeared first.

"I'll go look for her, I think I can guess where she is. Don't worry, I'll comfort her. You guys go eat in the great hall, and by the way, ask Neville to bring me two sandwiches on his way back to the dorm."

Naturally, Ginny and Luna didn't question much about his words.

Although Jon is only in his third year now, the feats he performed earlier this year have already made the vast majority of the students on the wagon have enough respect and admiration for him.

This is also the reason why Percy resented Jon, a student who had only been at the carriage for less than three years, had now gained even more popularity and respect than him, the prefect, which made Percy, who was already power-hungry, instinctively become annoyed and jealous.

After watching the two young girls leave, Jon also turned around and walked towards the end of the long corridor.

He came to the opposite side of Dumbledore's Headmaster's office, the door of the room leading to the driving seat, and easily pushed it open.

The wagon at this time is passing through a very picturesque and beautiful-looking city, those low red-roofed houses keep moving to the left and right to avoid, making way for the wagon, if you look long enough it will have a comical style.

But in the driver's seat, Gabrielle, who was propping her chin up with both hands, obviously did not put her mind to it.

Jon could guess that Gabrielle would come here, even though she is now a ghost who can freely go through most of the doors on the wagon, but after learning that students are forbidden to enter the room without a door sign, the little girl consciously never tried to violate the rules of the school that other students on the wagon have to follow.

Although she is young, she also knows some sense, if you want to integrate into a group as quickly as possible, you have to follow the same rules as the group.

But Hagrid here is an exception. Usually, when driving the wagon, Hagrid would become bored on his own, and now after he became familiar with Gabrielle, there was always a child who usually did not need to attend classes to talk with him.

When Jon arrived, Hagrid was holding a big cup of hot tea in his hand and talked to Gabrielle about the experience of raising horse-like magical creatures.

But the little girl was obviously listening absent-mindedly, sitting on the wooden cabinet in front of Hagrid that is usually used to hold small items, shaking her white transparent legs along with the slight bumps of the wagon, it is unknown what she was thinking about.

When she heard the movement of Jon's arrival, she was half a beat slower than Hagrid to return to her senses, and Hagrid was happy to pour Jon a cup of black tea while handing over a plate of his favourite signature rock cakes.

Jon took the cup of tea, took the plate with the rock cakes into his hands, and then put it on the wooden cabinet without a second thought.

"I thought it is your first day of school this academic year? Why do you have time to come to my place?"

Hagrid and Jon's relationship is also very familiar, usually, when it is not suitable to practice spells in the dormitory, he would come to Hagrid, over time, the two have long become friends with a pretty good relationship.

"It was Ginny and Luna who asked me to help." Jon's eyes were looking at Gabrielle as he spoke, Hagrid must have been relatively unfamiliar with the two names, "They said you were still moping after you went back last night, and then when they got up early in the morning they couldn't find you, they were worried about you and asked me to find out where you are."

Gabrielle lowered her slender eyebrows as she said somewhat weakly.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell them about this in the morning."

Hagrid, even if he is somewhat insensitive, he could also tell that Gabrielle is not in a good mood by now after spending the whole morning with her, and now that Jon is specifically looking for her.

He also knew that the one who had the closest contact with the dementors last night was this little girl.

"Are you still thinking about those dementors yesterday? That thing in fact is only scary when you see it for the first time, you did not stay behind, so you did not see what happened to them, Dumbledore cast a spell to drive them all away!"

Hagrid said reassuringly.

But his words did not seem to play any role on Gabrielle, she still has that sullen look.

"I miss my mama, papa and sister." She whispered, "I wonder where they are now and if they're doing well ..."

Until now, four or five months have passed since Gabrielle was picked up from Madame Maxime, but she has never received any semblance of a reply.

The former Headmistress of Beauxbatons, before leaving, promised to get in touch with Dumbledore after finding Gabrielle's parents and would take her to her family.

But even after so long, there is still no news.

But sometimes, in fact, no news is the best news.

Jon looked at her and said.

"If you want to see your family, you don't have to hide your feelings in your heart. Many of the students here, maybe older than you, but they all have the same experience of being separated from their families as you do, and at least your mom, dad and sister can still remember having a family member like you around, while their parents don't even know who they are anymore."

Such a comparison will undoubtedly resonate with an already emotional little girl like Gabrielle, who has been on the wagon for so long, naturally knows a lot about the students on board, and knows very well that compared to her current situation, there are many people who should be more upset and sad than her.

Her original sadness subsided a fair deal, but she looked at Jon hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something.

"I had a hard time last night, so I wandered around the wagon ..." she whispered, "and then while I was crying alone and thinking about my mama, papa and sister, I don't know if I just imagined it myself or if I actually saw a person ..."

Jon was keenly aware of the important information in Gabrielle's words, and he raised an eyebrow lightly.

"What kind of person? Was it a student or an adult?"

"An adult, I ... have seen him in my own home before, he came to my house and discussed something with my papa in private." Gabrielle looked like she was trying very hard to remember the scene she could recall, "but Papa was very upset that day, he ended up kicking that guy out of the house, my sister and I had never seen papa that angry before."

Jon turned his head and exchanged a glance with Hagrid.

It was obvious to both of them that this was a very important piece of information!

"Where did you see him? Gabrielle."

"I... I can't exactly recall." She shook her head, "I actually still feel like I didn't actually see him at all, I might have just missed my mama, papa, sister and the others too much to recall seeing that man, but ... I'm not sure ... "

Gabrielle's description was very vague, and her tone was very unconfident, which gave them a feeling of not being very reliable.

But whether it is Hagrid or Jon, they didn't take this matter lightly.

Jon stood up from the driver's seat of the Hagrid and said with a serious look on his face.

"Whether you really saw this man in the wagon or not, we have to tell Dumbledore about it, this may be an important clue."

He never thought of relying on himself to start any investigation and going alone to do the heroic deed.

Now the danger faced on the wagon concerned the lives of many people, and Jon consciously knew that the professors, after knowing more, would certainly make a more correct decision than he would.

He did not hesitate, together with Gabrielle left the driver's seat, then returned to the wagon, went straight to the door directly opposite, and knocked on the door of the Headmaster's room.

Dumbledore was writing something with a quill in his office, and after entering the door he didn't say much else, Jon directly asked Gabrielle to restate the words to Dumbledore.

After listening quietly to Gabrielle's unconfident narrative, Dumbledore also could not help but frown and said softly.

"Can you describe the specific physical characteristics of this adult male wizard you are talking about child?"
