That night, Aberforth explained many spells to Jon, almost all of which he could use to deal with the Basilisk.
Jon listened very carefully, coming to Hogwarts Castle is equivalent to wasting a year of learning time, but now there is a chance to be taught by an experienced wizard-like Aberforth, he certainly will not waste it.
Of course, one nighttime could not let him learn a few spells, but Aberforth had taught him the correct pronunciation of incantation as well as wand gestures of several necessary spells, and he could practice them in the castle as long as he had time.
Now Jon has found a secret passage to come out of the castle unnoticed, then the place where the next portion of the polyjuice potion will be boiled would naturally be in the Hog's Head Inn, although the Room of Requirement is secretive enough, this location is also known to Voldemort, who knows if one day when Jon comes out of that room, he might happen to meet the Dark Lord waiting for him right outside the door?
Before he left the Hog's Head Inn, Aberforth gave Jon one last serious admonition.
"In the future, you must be careful when entering and leaving the secret passage, and also, remember never to take the muggle students of your House with you outside the confines of the school."
Jon asked, frowning in wonder.
"And why is that?"
"The admission pact on you is a fake enchantment made by a spell cast by Albus, so it is not restricted, but those students are different, they are bound by the real admission pact on them, once they leave the school's premises privately, their absence will be discovered by people in the school, then we will all be exposed at that time."
Upon hearing Aberforth's words, Jon was silent for a moment before he looked up into the eyes of the old man and asked.
"Once the admission pact is signed, it can't be undone?"
Aberforth shook his head and said.
"Even a near-unbreakable contract like the blood pact can be broken, there is actually no such thing as an unbreakable pact in the magical world. But neither you nor I know much about this kind of magic pact breaking. If you want to break those students' pacts, you need to take them away from the castle, and any of them stepping out of the school's boundaries will definitely attract the attention of the entire castle's faculty and even the people in the Ministry of Magic, and the situation would become nearly insurmountable."
Jon nodded in silence.
He did not dwell on this matter with Aberforth for long, their main goal now would be to enter the Headmaster's office unnoticed.
After saying goodbye to Aberforth and agreeing on a time to come back to the inn, Jon returned to Hogwarts Castle the same way he had come.
The day after the Halloween dinner, Halloween day, there was a day off for the students to relax while the mudbloods were scheduled to clear the weeds on the large lawn between the Black Lake and the castle.
After November, the time is moving towards the cold winter, and the temperature in Britain has been getting colder and colder lately, but the only thing the Mudbloods have to keep warm is the thick robes they are wearing.
Jon squinted his eyes and yawned quietly, he is now, in a growing stage, after returning to the dormitory last night, he only slept for three hours, and now he has to get up early in the morning to work, it would be strange to be in high spirits.
But his hands did not stop moving, Dolohov's two lapdogs, the male and female head of the mudbloods were wandering between the working students, as long as they found any slackers, they would not hesitate to drag them to their "master".
"You didn't sleep well last night?"
A girl's voice sounded in Jon's ear.
Jon made up an excuse in his mind without looking up and said to Hermione.
"The temperature is a little too cold, and woke up a few times in the night from the cold, so, yes, did not sleep very well."
"If you feel cold, you can put the summer and winter robes together and then cover the quilt; later, if it's still too cold for you to bear, go to Dolohov and tell him, our lives are still worth a little bit, they won't let us just freeze to death like this."
Only at this point, Jon looked sideways to see a head that was also not raising to clean up the weeds in the lawn, from the perspective of others, it looked like Hermione was working seriously the whole time.
"It's okay, I'm not cold to that extent."
Just when Jon intends to end this conversation, without wanting to talk more with this little girl to avoid revealing a flaw, a male wizard who looked like he had just stepped out of the greenhouse, wearing a black robe, with a face full of beard and shady eyes walked towards the castle gate.
As he passed the mudblood students who were working on the lawn, his face showed obvious disgust and revulsion, and he walked quickly to Dolohov's side as he cursed something under his breath.
"Professor Carrow is here, be careful, don't let him target you, or there will be big trouble." Hermione whispered a reminder.
Jon did not move, nodded slightly, and continued to clean up the weeds in front of his hands, but in fact, the corner of his eye has been staring at the corner where Dolohov was talking something with "Professor Carrow".
This male wizard's full name is "Amycus Carrow", from the most Ancient Pureblood Sacred Twenty-Eight Family, as well as one of Voldemort's strongest supporters, and now he is in Hogwarts Castle as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, specializing in teaching pureblood and half-blood students the Dark Arts.
He also has a sister named Alecto Carrow, who is also a professor in the castle as well, albeit assigned to teach the Muggle Studies class.
Amycus Carrow is also one of the people Jon has to specifically watch out for in the castle.
When Slughorn taught him about the way of ring casting, he had mentioned to him that Mr Adrian Fawkes once had a history of assuming the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor in Hogwarts, and according to what could be known from the notes left behind after his death, the one of the ring's gem should have been left in Hogwarts by him.
It is likely that the gem and related materials were left behind in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor's office.
He infiltrated Hogwarts castle this time, not only to complete Dumbledore's task but also want to find the gem left in this castle.
According to the information that Slughorn gave him on the wagon, the Defense Class Professor's office has not been changed so far and is still used by the current Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, the oldest of Carrow's siblings.
The only thing is that his job is far different from Dolohov's, which only requires him to go out of the office from time to time by class schedule, and the time of the defence class also basically overlaps with the time of Jon's daytime labour, and he usually settles his three meals in the office, so Jon could not find the opportunity to sneak into his office until now.
