Volume 5: The Burning Golden Flame Chapter 316 Weasley's Invitation
Having spent most of the school year on the sea, the third year students at Hogwarts have already started the end-of-term exam week.
Although they spent most of their time on self-study, they did not lack what they should have learned.
The exam week lasted until early July, and after a sumptuous end-of-term dinner, Jon and his classmates' third-year student life came to an end.
In the public opinion field of the wizarding world, the battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore is still going on fiercely, but with the establishment of the bet for the Triwizard Tournament, there is basically no armed conflict in France.
The Wizarding World actually controls all areas except the French Ministry of Magic and Beauxbatons, and also temporarily performs the duties of a provisional government. It is an administrative organization restructured by some French people to handle French government affairs.
Except for the pure-bloods who had already been purged, and those who had obeyed Voldemort's rule but had not done anything bad and had been punished, most of the other pure-bloods in France hid in Paris, waiting for the possibility of a comeback.
The names of all those who are in hiding have been recorded by Iniesta, the leader of the French Provisional Magic Council.
Regardless of whether they have persecuted Muggles in the past, they will eventually be punished most severely.
In general, the situation in France as a whole has temporarily stabilized. It is also because of this that after the start of this summer vacation at Hogwarts, they no longer have to hide in school like before and cannot go anywhere.
Because of the suspension of the war, there were many idle people in the Order of the Phoenix. Lupin, Sirius and others were could take them out to play around Lyon and also take on security work.
Students like Neville and Ron who have families can naturally go home to spend the entire holiday with their parents.
For children like Lavender and Luna, whose parents are in exile overseas and temporarily leave them in Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall has already contacted their families abroad and they can come to France to settle down temporarily, which means they can also go home.
The situation is moving in a positive direction little by little.
Before Ron and Neville left school, they invited Jon and Hermione. Their two families were planning to travel to France this summer and wanted Jon to go with them.
Before, when they were in the carriage, they had invited Jon and the others to visit their home, but Jon declined at that time because he had other things to do. However, Justin and Lavender had been to the Longbottom house once, and this time Jon did not refuse.
He finally had some rare free time during this holiday. Apart from studying how to learn Animagus, there was nothing else to do. He agreed to go on a trip with Ron and Neville's family, as a chance to relax before the Triwizard Tournament.
So at the beginning of the holiday, Jon and the others agreed to go to the Weasley's house for a few days and then meet up with the Longbottom's in mid-July.
In addition to John and Hermione, Gabrielle will also go with them. Hamton and Ariel will stay in Lyon. Lupin and the others have already planned to organize a summer trip for the students who remain in school in a week.
Nick was not with Jon and the others either. It seemed that an old ghost friend who had been to Hogwarts found him, and they went somewhere to reminisce about the past.
The person responsible for picking up John and the others was the eldest son of the Weasley family, Bill Weasley.
He graduated from Hogwarts several years ago, and experienced the transition of campus life from the castle period to the carriage exile period. Now he has joined the Order of the Phoenix and is a mainstay of it like his father.
When they first met, Bill gave Jon the impression that he was a member of a rock band, with a long ponytail and an earring with something like a small fan hanging on it, which looked very cool.
He was very enthusiastic when he met Jon.
"Nice to meet you, Jon. I should be able to call you that, right? My name is William Weasley, but my family calls me Bill, and you can call me that, too. Our family has heard of you since Ron was in the first grade , and we asked him to invite you to our home at that time, but we didn't have the chance until now."
Jon shook his hand and spoke in a slightly slurred voice.
"Hello, Bill."
He had a new mandrake leaf in his mouth, which he had just got from Lily last night. He put it in his mouth under the light of a full moon. Even if a month was not enough to complete the trip, he could make a temporary return trip to Lyon and proceed to the next step if the weather met the requirements.
After these days, Jon has become generally familiar with speaking and living with a foreign object in his mouth. Although it is still a little weird, it basically doesn't feel abnormal.
Bill showed great enthusiasm for Jon, of course because his name was now known throughout the European wizarding world.
After more than a month of fermentation, almost all wizards who were not hiding in the mountains and forests knew that a boy named Jon Green killed the Lestrange family in front of Voldemort.
This is why the news about Rabastan’s death was suppressed by the British Ministry of Magic and not spread. Otherwise, John would probably have been labeled as the “Lestrange’s Nemesis”.
Bill did not neglect Hermione and Gabrielle, and took the initiative to help them move their luggage to a room with a fireplace.
As the Wizarding World gained a foothold in France, the Weasley family temporarily ended their hiding life and moved their home to France.
Ginny, Ron, George, Fred, Jon, Hermione, Gabrielle and others lined up in front of the fireplace and listened to Bill tell them the final destination after using the Floo powder.
"The Burrow No. 3. Don't make the mistake in pronouncing it. Charlie once said it was No. 1 and ended up going back to the old house in Devonshire. He had to work very hard to avoid being discovered by the Aurors waiting there and escape back."
From the naming method, Jon could easily guess that the Burrow No. 2 in front should be the place where the Weasley family lived when they were hiding in England, and No. 1 was naturally their original home.
They pulled their suitcases in their hands and walked into the fireplace one by one. Then they read out their destination and were taken to the Weasley house in the green flames.
