Dumbledore will be back before lunch, definitely not back to school for lunch.

Maybe he was in a hurry.

Jon had no intention of going to Dumbledore to talk about the matter now. He had to give his headmaster time to finish his meal, and he felt that even if he didn't tell Dumbledore, he would have been aware of Grindelwald's visit.

Prepare.

Otherwise he wouldn't be Dumbledore.

Jon is definitely not the only one who is worried about certain things.

It was also lunch time, and Harry and his group had just stepped into the cool foyer when they heard a voice.

"You are back, Potter and Weasley," it was Professor McGonagall, who was walking towards them with a straight face, "you two are staying tonight."

"What are we going to do, teacher?"

Ron asked, holding back a hiccup nervously.

"You go and help Mr. Filch polish the silverware in the trophy room," said Professor McGonagall. "No magic allowed, Weasley - all by hand."

This was really bad news, and Ron and Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

But Harry was even worse.

Because Professor McGonagall said: "Potter, go and help Professor Lockhart reply to his admirers."

"Ah, no, can I clean the prizes too?"

Harry begged desperately.

"Of course not," Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows, "Professor Lockhart wants you by name. Remember, you two, at eight o'clock in the evening."

Lockhart's reputation was of some use. Although Harry didn't think so, Professor McGonagall did know something inside - maybe the headmaster invited Lockhart for a reason, she thought.

Harry and Ron walked into the Great Hall dejectedly, followed by Hermione, with an expression on their faces that seemed to say: "You have indeed violated the school rules."

At the dinner table, even meat and mashed potato pie couldn't whet Harry's appetite. Both he and Ron felt that they were more unlucky than the other.

"Filch is going to kill me," Ron said sadly, "No need for magic! There are at least a hundred trophies in that room, and I'm not as good at scrubbing as Muggles."

"I'd trade with you any time," Harry said listlessly. "I've done a lot of scrubbing and scrubbing at the Dursleys. But writing back to Lockhart's admirers... that's like...

A nightmare..."

Harry looked very broken, but no one would sympathize with him. A hero must bear his share, and avoiding it is not an option.

It's equally difficult for Jon. He still hasn't received any information from Grindelwald - now he can't float to the deep blue sea at any time, otherwise he will definitely be able to discover the information coming from there, as well as the information he left behind.

The response given by the imprint there.

Therefore, the letter he was planning to send to Dumbledore was not sent in the end, but turned into ashes in his hands.

If Grindelwald wanted to surprise Dumbledore, it had nothing to do with him.

So, it's night.

Before nine o'clock in the evening, the lights of Hogwarts were still shining, illuminating the deep fog nearby and the lake flowing in the distance.

The surroundings of Hogwarts were still as quiet as ever. There were only two people standing at the secret passage exit outside the school, waiting for their guests.

The guest is not Grindelwald, but someone else.

While waiting for news from Grindelwald in the afternoon, Jon received a letter.

From Lille.

The letter said that his captain was coming to look for Jon and discuss some matters.

Jon was a little worried. He and the captain had never met before, so what else needed to be said? And even if it needed to be said, wouldn't it be possible to say it through Lille? Why did he have to come to Hogwarts to find him?

But even if he said that, Jon didn't dare to wait here, because if he didn't wait here, he wouldn't be sure what would happen - what if that madwoman did something extraordinary?

Although he had never seen this person before, he had faced off against him once before.

On that occasion, the Lille captain said he was a thief.

It's really, really frustrating.

"When is it?"

In the dark night, Jon asked Peeves next to him.

"If you are asking about the exact time, it is probably around two o'clock in the morning now, because we have been waiting here for a long time since the curfew. Can you tell me," Peeves yawned: "You

Why are we waiting here for those who do evil?"

"Doing evil is out of the question, because even if she wants to do something, she will only come to me alone and will not affect you. The reason why I want you to accompany me here is because it is too boring."

The two people stood in silence in the darkness for a while. Their waiting was finally not in vain. In the darkness in the distance, there was a weak wave coming towards here quickly.

Peeves was the first to feel this fluctuation, so he immediately disappeared from Jon's side and returned to Hogwarts Castle.

It was not easy for him to get involved in Jon's personal affairs, but if Jon was injured or accidentally beaten seriously, he would come out to help collect the body.

Who told him that Peeves was born a kind person?

Such kindness is not very important to Jon, and Jon doesn't care about Peeves leaving.

Because he knew very well that there would be no conflict here tonight.

Grindelwald must know what Lille knows. If Grindelwald knows and allows this person to come to him, it means that this person is not a threat to him.

Although he didn't know what Grindelwald was doing now, Jon had this inexplicable confidence in him.

Maybe this is trust.

So when the girl in black tights landed in front of Jon, she didn't see any unnecessary expression on the "thief"'s face.

Jon just nodded to her as a greeting, turned around and walked into the secret passage.

No matter what, everyone who comes here is a guest. Since they are guests, they cannot be received here.

That's so rude, it's not something a "man of etiquette" like Jon can do.

Moreover, in the school, the training ground is considered Jon's home field, and playing at home is always better than being tied up outside.

There are many differences between this girl and Jon's imagination. She doesn't seem to be very good at magic. Even the transformation spell requires Jon to bless her. However, she does have a strong ability to travel through space, such as high speed.

The speed of movement cannot be faked.

So Jon was very curious about her.

The two of them walked all the way to the training ground in silence. At this moment, there was an extra house in the training ground.
