Chapter 505 503. Hogwarts
Jon knocked on the farmer’s door, which seemed so unexpected in the silent night.
But there was no movement inside for a while, but he still continued to knock on the door very patiently. He didn’t stop until a few vulgar curses and a series of footsteps came from inside.
The door was opened from the inside, and a strong man with a beard held a double-barreled shotgun in his hand, staring at Jon and Lily with an evil look on his face.
After seeing clearly that the people standing outside the door were children and women, the alertness in his eyes visibly diminished.
“If you are lost, you can go to the hut next to it and spend the night first. We will discuss other matters tomorrow. If you have other purposes, you’d better weigh this thing in my hand first!”
He didn’t think of Jon and the others as beggars, because although the two of them looked strange in their attire, they really didn’t look like wanderers.
What was somewhat beyond his expectation was that the person he was communicating with was not the beautiful, cold-looking woman, but the boy who looked to be only 7 or 8 years old at most.
“We just wanted to ask for directions, sir. Sorry to disturb your rest, but we did encounter some difficulties.”
Jon could tell that this man just looked rough and arrogant, but he should be a fairly easy-to-talk person, otherwise he wouldn’t be willing to help them as soon as he opened his mouth.
“Where are we now, and what day is it today?”
The man looked at Jon and Lily with an even stranger look. His sleepiness seemed to have disappeared for the most part. After a moment of silence, he still answered.
“This is Paisley, today is June 2, 1996.”
After hearing his answer, Jon and Lily couldn’t help but look at each other. These two pieces of news were actually good news for them.
Paisley is a region located in southwest Scotland, which means that they were still in Northern Europe before traveling through space, but now they have returned to the UK.
In terms of time, it is 5 months faster than they were in the original world.
Although it is not exactly the same, the gap is not big. Based on this, they can roughly infer that the time when Voldemort used the time turner to reverse the world was probably 5 months!
After getting these two crucial pieces of information, Jon finally showed the smile that appeared for the first time after Dumbledore fell into a deep sleep.
He turned his head and continued to look at the man, reaching into the pocket of his robe with one hand and saying at the same time.
“There is one more thing I want to trouble you with, sir. It may not be called a trouble. After all, this matter is beneficial to you. Can we exchange some money with you?”
Just after the man listened to Jon’s words, his eyes were subconsciously occupied by vigilance again, and his hand began to raise the muzzle of the shotgun.
Then he saw what Jon took out of his pocket.
Those are two golden beans.
After making this transaction that both parties were satisfied with, the man didn’t sleep anymore. He enthusiastically offered to help Jon and Lily to a nearby station.
In this way, when the sun was just rising, Jon and Lily came to a small train platform in Scotland.
The two bought tickets to London in front of the platform. After a day, they arrived in London from Scotland in the afternoon.
But from here on, they have returned to the most familiar place.
At the entrance to Diagon Alley, the location of the Leaky Cauldron has not changed. It is still incongruously located in the middle of a busy street in London.
When Jon and Lily go to the bar together, they can clearly feel the lively and relaxed atmosphere of the magical world in this world.
The bar is very lively. Wizards and witches of all origins can sit at the same table. There is no tense or boring atmosphere here. From time to time, you can hear these people talking about last year’s Quidditch World Cup and how the Irish team defeated them. The Bulgarian team won, or it was an interesting story about how two Hogwarts warriors won the Triwizard Tournament held together by three European magic schools last year.
Lily listened very carefully to the second thing. She wanted to know if there was any information about Harry in it, but she did not hear the names of the two warriors who represented Hogwarts from those who were talking about it.
Jon could see Lily’s inner uneasiness, so he pretended to be confused and turned to look at the bar owner, Old Tom, who was cleaning in front of the bar.
“Sir, was the person who represented Hogwarts in the competition last year the famous Harry Potter?”
Because of Jon’s age, Lao Tang didn’t find it strange that he asked this question, and answered naturally.
“This is something everyone knows, kid. Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory raised the Triwizard Cup together, but fell into the trap of the remnants of the mysterious man, but together they Efforts were made to defeat them and finally bring the truth back. The Daily Prophet has been reporting on this story for almost a year.”
Lily’s whole body seemed to be still, and she stood there while Old Tom opened his mouth to answer Jon’s question.
Before she came, she tried desperately to warn herself not to have too much hope. Sometimes it was precisely because the greater the hope, the more unacceptable the disappointment.
But now it was like a blasting curse that suddenly exploded. Before he could return to Hogwarts, Harry Potter was still alive and had won the Triwizard Tournament on behalf of Hogwarts in this world. The news had already bombarded her brain.
After standing still for a long time, Lily’s body couldn’t stop trembling slightly.
Jon grabbed her arm from the side, and she finally came back to her senses in a daze and turned to look at Jon.
She seemed to want to say something, but didn’t know how.
Before she spoke, Jon had already looked at Old Tom.
“Can you prepare some Floo powder for us? We are going to Hogsmeade.”
With only four Sickles, Jon and Lily used the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron and reached the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade through the Floo Network.
After arriving in Hogsmeade, the two of them did not stay. They first wrote a letter at the Owl Post Office and sent it to Hogwarts, and then immediately arrived in front of the school gate.
They watched the owl with the letter fly into the castle. They didn’t have to wait long. In another world, Mag with the same straight waist and the same serious expression walked out of the castle.
When she saw Lily standing outside the school gate, the student who claimed to be a long time ago in the letter came to visit, Lily was a little familiar but also mixed with too much strangeness.
The whole person froze in place.
