In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 516: Mutation

Harry's mouth hung open.

He had always known that Jon would be impressive, something that Lily had told him more than once in private.

But nowadays, Jon's young appearance wasn't quite convincing enough in the end to give much credence to someone he had met for the first time not too long ago, although Harry had never doubted that Lily was lying to him, only that he had visualised Jon's feat of defeating Voldemort, probably as something thanks to the combined efforts of a whole bunch of people from the Order of the Phoenix, which had ended up allowing Jon to land the final blow.

But what was he just talking about?

A Voldemort who became an even more powerful being after the fusion of both Voldemort, and he was able to kill such a being all on his own?

That's not defeating, but killing.

Defeating a person who wields a high level of magical power may not be difficult to do, but trying to kill such a person, especially if that person is still Voldemort, would be very shocking, especially if the person who accomplished this feat would normally still be in his fifth year at Hogwarts.

While Harry was still shocked by this, Dumbledore, who was on the sidelines, had started to think about the two major events that had happened during the time that Jon had said that something had gone wrong with the Golden Cup.

It wasn't that he wasn't surprised that Jon had been able to kill Voldemort, but as a wizard who had researched extremely deeply in magic, once he had learnt that Jon's Animagus could turn him into a Phoenix, after that, whatever further feats this young man had performed had already become something that he could accept with a mindset of taking it for granted.

"The fusion of two Voldemort's souls, and his resurrection after death relying on the Horcruxes of this world. Judging by the relationship between these two events and the Horcruxes, the more likely one would be the second."

Dumbledore removed his crescent-shaped glasses and cleaned them with his wand as he went on.

"But according to the magical principles of Horcruxes, how the person who made the Horcrux is resurrected should have nothing to do with the Horcrux itself."

Jon was actually thinking about this as well.

However, for them, rather than understanding the principle clearly, the easiest and quickest way was actually to find and destroy the golden cup immediately.

That way, no matter what exactly was the reason for such an accident, it didn't matter, it was enough for them to fulfil their most fundamental purpose.

Finally, Jon shook his head and said.

"Let's put these things aside for the time being, we can investigate the matter of the golden cup later, at least we are not without clues, and we may be able to dig out more from those two captured Death Eaters."

Dumbledore naturally did not disagree with his idea.

After getting a clear picture of the current situation, they didn't continue to linger there and were led by Dumbledore back to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, while Lily's side would be back by the evening whether she had any luck or not.

Now ideally the best situation is that the problem of the time-turner can be solved as well, then even if the whereabouts of the golden cup might still be a problem, it will still allow them to have a specialised target.

And just as Dumbledore, Jon and Harry had just returned to the Headmaster's office, and they hadn't even poured the tea in the kettle yet, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Dumbledore had no intention of letting Jon and Harry evade and said softly.

"Come in."

A middle-aged male wizard with greasy hair like seaweed and a pale, sombre face pushed his way through the door.

Harry's entire body instantly became fidgety and his face became very unnatural at the first sight of him.

Jon, on the other hand, looked interested, but he knew better than anyone else that the changes in this world compared to the world with one more Voldemort were actually not that great, which meant that the Potion Class Professor in front of him had a very different stance from his own in the other world.

Well, although both of their hearts were actually still the same.

Snape's countenance looked anxious and ugly, after entering the headmaster's office, he first saw Harry, and his already gloomy countenance couldn't help but become even more gloomy, and then he turned his head to see the young Jon who was sitting in a high-backed chair, with his legs dangling in the air without his feet touching the ground, sipping a cup of black tea, and his eyes showed a little doubt.

But he was clearly not concerned largely with either Harry or Jon at the moment and instead arrived at Dumbledore's desk with the newspaper in his hand and his feet in a hurry.

"I hope you've seen this."

Seeing the gravity in Snape's attitude, Dumbledore also looked at the front page news of that newspaper with a serious expression.

[Unprecedented! Major Attack on Azkaban, Numerous Prisoners Escape!]

After seeing this headline, Dumbledore's face also became more solemn as he carefully read the entire report, however, before he could put down the newspaper in his hand, outside the window, a hooting and hollering sound rang out.

Dozens of owls flew in, hovering on the ceiling of the headmaster's office for a moment, and those letters floated down like rain.

After those owls left, Dumbledore just waved the wand in his hand and gathered those messy letters together, he slightly frowned and opened the letters signed by the Minister of Magic and the Head of the Auror Office, all of them were asking if he knew what was going on in Azkaban, as almost all the escaped prisoners were Death Eaters who had been captured and brought to justice.

After Dumbledore saw these letters, he just shook his head somewhat helplessly and put these letters together and put them aside.

And obviously, at this time Snape still had some words left to say, he turned his head to look at Harry, and then at Jon, and said in a cold voice.

"I have something else I want to say to you in private."

Dumbledore nodded and spoke softly to Harry.

"It's almost dinner time, go ahead and eat in the great hall Harry, you should be tired enough for the day as it is."

As much as Harry wanted to stay and hear exactly what Snape wanted to say, he ended up doing what Dumbledore said and left the Headmaster's office.

Once Harry had left, Snape looked at Jon again, only to find that neither Jon himself nor Dumbledore had any intention of letting him go.

"His identity will be explained to you later, for now, don't worry about him being around, there are no secrets between us."

Snape's face didn't look much better, but he didn't bother questioning Dumbledore's words, he just treated Jon as if he was air and didn't exist.

He then pulled back the sleeve of his robes on his arm, revealing the Dark Mark.

"He's summoning me."

Snape's voice was trembling slightly.

"I can feel it, he is summoning his former servants and that is something no one else can do but that man himself!"
