In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 74: Unimpeded

After the darkness enveloped the entire Hogwarts castle, Jon stayed quietly on his wooden plank bed.

The air was a little muggy because there were no windows in the dormitory, and as summer turned to autumn, a person's mood could easily become tiresome.

Jon had no intention of sleeping, he was listening carefully to the fading footsteps outside the door, the sound of castle caretaker Dolohov's patrol at the start of the curfew.

After a week of being here, Jon had basically gauged the habits of the castle caretaker.

After the curfew began, he would start patrolling the underground floor, and after patrolling once, he would return to his office to rest, unless he heard any movement in the middle of the night that should not have been made, he would not go outside at all.

So after his footsteps completely disappeared and waited for about twenty minutes, Jon sat up from the bed.

He did not light the candle straight out, instead, he fumbled to get his robe with the inner pocket sewn on, and after pulling out the cloth bag he found in the morning, he slowly drew out his wand.

The inner pocket on the clothes was specially made for him by Dumbledore, and a powerful undetectable extension charm was affixed on it, which looked like an ordinary pocket on the surface, but actually had a lot of space inside.

With a light flick of the wand, a quill in front of the bed transformed into a scissor by using a transfiguration spell, and then he tucked the wand back again.

After taking the scissors and cutting the wick of the candle on the candlestick in the dark by two-thirds to ensure that the flame will be small enough, Jon lit the candle.

The light is very faint, but enough to illuminate the area in front of him.

With this tiny glow, Jon opened the cloth bag that he picked up over the boundary wall today, and one by one, he took out various potion materials.

Lacewing flies, Leeches, full-moon plucked powdered Fluxweed, bundles of Knotgrass, Bicorn Horn fine powder and the most important dry skin of the African Boomslang snake.

If all these materials boiled out to prepare a polyjuice potion, it would be enough for Jon to use two vials a day for a month. If there are even more materials, this same cloth bag with an undetectable extension charm could be able to hold them, but there is no way to ensure the medicinal properties of the products last for a long time.

Undetectable extension charm can only expand space, but could not freeze time, which is why Dumbledore didn't directly give Jon a school year sufficient amount of polyjuice potion before coming, if you did not use it for a long time, then the effectiveness of the pre-brewed polyjuice potion will also dilute, so Jon must be able to be self-sufficient in Hogwarts Castle.

After checking that there is no problem with the materials sent over, Jon was about to put things back into the cloth bag when his hand touched a cool, liquid-like thing inside the bag.

Jon first froze, then he took out the thing that was so light in weight that it seemed as if it didn't exist.

It is a transparent cloak with a faint silver glow, at the first sight of it, Jon subconsciously held his breath.

There was also a note on the top of the cloak.

[After Lily knew you went there, she specially asked me to send it to you, take good care of it]

After reading the contents of the note, Jon immediately put it right above the candle and lit it, watching the flame brighten for a few seconds and then go out again, he knew exactly what the cloak that was sent to him is.

A cloak of invisibility!

Not the kind that is sold on the market in the magical world, the ordinary stock that uses the fur of Demiguise or the kind that has been enchanted with a disillusionment charm.

If this cloak of invisibility originated from Lily's hands, then it is most likely one of the three Deathly Hallows that was traditionally passed on in the Potter family, the one that was in Harry Potter's hands in the original story!

After the death of the Potters' father and son Harry and James, the family can be identified as extinct, so the cloak of invisibility was naturally handed over to Lily's hands.

Jon looked at the invisibility cloak in his hand, his mood quickly became calm from the initial excitement.

This item can be described as a precious relic left behind after the death of her husband and son, for Lily, it is absolutely very significant, but now she sent this cloak to Jon's hands, if he had an accident, then this cloak certainly won't possibly ever have a chance to return.

Jon can understand the implications of this, in that year on the wagon before, he can tell that now the only motivation for Lily to persist in living is revenge.

To take revenge on Voldemort, revenge on Snape, revenge on everyone involved in the murder of her husband and son.

She asked Dumbledore to send him the invisibility cloak, in order to make it easier for him to act in Hogwarts Castle so that he could accomplish the ultimate goal.

Perhaps there was some consideration for his safety as one of her students, but it should be mainly for the sake of the unquenchable hatred in her heart.

But regardless of whether she wholeheartedly considered his safety, Jon appreciated the invisibility cloak she sent from the bottom of his heart.

With this item, there is no doubt that his next actions will become significantly easier!

All the things except the invisibility cloak were put back into the cloth bag, then the bag was stuffed back into the inner pocket of his robe, and then Jon put on the robe and blew out the candles.

With the cloak of invisibility, his originally postponed plan can be advanced a little bit.

After carefully listening at the door for a minute or so to make sure there was no movement outside, Jon put on the cloak of invisibility and completely concealed his figure, then gently pushed the door open and walked out of his bunk room.

The corridor outside was dimly lit, the candelabra set in the wall pulsed with a faint flame, Jon moved carefully and pulled out his wand, then approached the iron door at the end of the corridor.

After the curfew began and Dolohov conducted his patrol throughout the underground floor, he would lock the iron door from outside, just like a prison cell, and would not come over to open it until the next morning, so without a wand, there would be no way for a mudblood student to open the door even if they're from seventh year unless a professor came to teach them a spell to unlock the door secretly.

But for Jon, who had a wand and had experienced a year of formal wizardry education, the locked iron door proved to be virtually useless.

He slowly pushed the tip of his wand out of his cloak of invisibility and tapped it against the locked door.

"Alohomora."

A faint unlocking charm incantation sounded, and the closed iron door let out a creak and was opened from the inside by Jon.

He walked out of the basement, then locked the door again from the outside, before turning around and heading for the stairs.

The entire Hogwarts castle except for the "whistling" wind, remained dead silent.

And tonight, a "mudblood" who used to be bound will be unhindered at this moment.
