In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter -
Chapter 66: Hogwarts Castle
"A bunch of mudbloods dared to form a gang in Hogwarts castle, in the end, this matter has reached the Headmaster, and to my surprise, they all haven't been executed yet."
Draco looked regretful like he felt sorry for not seeing the drama he was expecting.
Lucius took his arm, with no intention of finding trouble with Jon whatsoever, for people like them, it felt insulting to have a conversation with a mudblood, let alone take the initiative to lower themselves to pick a fight.
In the magical community, the one who likes to torment the "mudbloods" are mostly from the half-blood group.
Originally all of them were common people of the same level, but under the rule of Voldemort, their status was not reduced, while originally their equal muggle wizards were turned into slaves.
This made them feel the taste of privilege even while being under the oppression of pureblood bias; these people would frequently try to find a sense of superiority through the "mudbloods ", and this also made them stand in support of Voldemort's rule.
"I told you not to make any comments about that gentleman, especially when outside."
Lucius led Draco away, while Jon scrubbed the window and squinted his eyes as he fell into deep thought.
This duo of father and son had actually revealed quite a bit of information to Jon in their conversation just now.
Before he came, Dumbledore explained to him, the "notice of acceptance" signed by the Muggle students who were tricked into joining Hogwarts castle is actually a kind of binding, it is not a contract that will instantly change your mind 180 degrees as long as you sign your name on it.
This is just a contract created to control the personal freedom and magic talent of the Muggle students, not as scary as Jon had imagined at the beginning, such as signing the contract would directly change people's minds subconsciously.
This means that those "mudblood" students in Hogwarts Castle still have their own individual will and have not been domesticated to the point of obedience, like the house elves.
If there is oppression, then there will be resistance, the other Hogwarts wagon led by Dumbledore is a kind of resistance, and the Muggle students in the Hogwarts castle obviously also know they should resist.
It's just that the strength gap is so big that people can hardly catch their breath in the castle, so their resistance will hardly have some kind of result.
Draco's words also revealed this point, those students suffered punishment, and although they were not directly deprived of life, this punishment is obviously not very light.
Otherwise, he would not have known about it, he might have even seen how the students were being punished right at the scene.
Jon looked at the backs of Malfoy's father and son, their clean and neat robes shining in the sunlight.
The parents and students who came and went in Diagon Alley were just like them, with a warm and harmonious family atmosphere; the new students excitedly holding their brand-new wands high; the third and fourth-year students walking into the pet store with their friends at school, enthusiastically buying pet food to feed the owls; the young boys and girls nearing adulthood meeting outside the bookshop, discussing with sad faces how to prepare for the seventh year NEWTs. At the same time, there was also the sound of laughter.
Everything here looks so rosy as if the magical community is still the same as in the original story, and Hogwarts is still the original Hogwarts.
But Jon, who was squatting at a window and struggling to wipe the glass high above, seemed like the only stain in the world that shouldn't be there, a stinker (stink bug) in Draco's mouth that had destroyed the harmony and beauty of the place.
A light smile inexplicably appeared at the corners of Jon's mouth as he diligently cleaned up with a rag in his hands.
The stink bug in the sunlight and the twinkling star-like firefly in the dark, these two names complement each other.
Life in Diagon Alley was very monotonous because you can not go out, Jon basically repeated the dull and boring life every day.
Such days continued until the first of September when the new school term finally began.
The night before, Elmo prepared a much more sumptuous dinner than before, and although he said nothing, Jon could see that he was seeing himself off.
For ordinary students, the way to get to Hogwarts Castle is still heading to Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station to take the Hogwarts Express, but students like "Smith", certainly do not deserve to sit on the same transport with the noble half-bloods and purebloods.
Jon didn't know exactly how to get back to the castle, but it didn't take him all that long to figure out it, in the afternoon of the first day, there was an unexpected visitor came to the Potions store.
That was a house elf, just like the one Jon saw in the film in his past life, it had pointed ears, big eyes, skinny to the extent of skin and bones, it looked very ugly.
With a sudden flash in the potion store, the house elf respectfully handed a piece of parchment to Elmo's hand.
"Sir, please evaluate the performance of the mudblood who has been boarding in your store during this holiday."
Elmo, without much surprise, gave Jon the best "O" rating, and then the house elf put the parchment away, bowed to Elmo, and then walked to Jon's side, grasping Jon's arm without any communication or reminder.
The next second, a sense of distortion identical to that of the apparition with Dumbledore spread throughout Jon's body, and when he felt his feet on solid ground again, he had arrived at a completely new environment.
This should be a certain building's basement, all tightly enclosed, except for a lone closed door; under the swaying lights, he saw dozens of children around him, all wearing sackcloth robes, both young and older.
They all sat separately on the floor, each keeping a sufficient distance between each other as if no one dared to sit next to each other, and none of them opened their mouths to talk.
The house elf, after dropping Jon off here, immediately disappeared from the room again, as if it was going to pick up the next child.
After seeing these children, Jon had already figured out where he is now.
The only place where so many "mudbloods" gather is Hogwarts Castle!
And just when he has identified the place he came to, another sound unique to the apparition was heard, like a whip lashing in the air.
A girl with messy chestnut-coloured shoulder-length hair, wearing the same worn grey linen robe was brought in.
