MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 459 457. Promise
Aarhus, on the eastern coast of the Jutland peninsula, is the second largest city in Denmark.
According to the information obtained by Mrs. Maxime, the Delacour family is hiding here.
As an old friend of the Delacour family, after escaping from France, Madame Maxime has indeed been investigating the whereabouts of Gabriel's parents as she said to Dumbledore before.
It's just that the whole of Europe is so big, especially if you want to find a wizard who knows magic and can use potions to change your appearance, it's really not easy to find.
She could only investigate through some of her contacts in Northern Europe, and found out that there was a girl named Fleur who looked a lot like Gabriel's sister, and she was once bumped into in the central Danish city of Herning.
After all, she is a mixed Veela, so as long as she shows her true colors, she will always leave a deep impression on people.
According to the news, Mrs. Maxim traced all the way, and found that the Delacour family moved again, from Herning to Aarhus.
According to this clue, Jon and Hermione brought Gabriel to this coastal city.
Madame Maxime did not come with them, because the French Temporary Ministry of Magic reconnected with her, and now the entire Beauxbatons are still in the control stage when they were first received.
She, an experienced witch who has been the principal for many years, is needed to go back immediately to take charge of the overall situation, and prepare to start the work of accepting this year's freshmen that will begin soon.
After coming to Aarhus, Jon and the others did not hide their identities.
Although Jon in the wizarding world is now almost well known to everyone, in the eyes of Muggles, he is not so eye-catching.
And keeping Gabriel in her original form will also help her family find her better.
"Where do we start?"
Gabriel, who was wearing a dress, seemed to rarely see so many people. She hid behind Jon, looked at the crowds on the street, and asked in a low voice.
Jon was studying a letter left by Mrs. Maxim in his hand, which said that in a block on the outskirts of the west side of Aarhus, there was a Squib home who provided information to Mrs. Maxim.
The only way to live in this big Muggle city and to integrate into it is to be a Squib who has separated from the wizarding world and is disliked by most wizards.
Especially in the past few years, the contradictions in the magic world have become more and more intense, and the life of the squibs has become even more difficult. Many of them have completely cut off contact with the magic world, and have given up thinking that they are still "wizards". Pride and fantasy, fully integrated into Muggle life and society.
"Dennis Kass, this is the person we need to find first. According to the information Mrs. Maxim gave us, he sent a letter saying that he saw people suspected of your parents and sister in Aarhus two months ago."
Hermione had already looked at the city map in front of a bus stop next to them, and soon she found the street they needed to go to.
"It's not very far from us, maybe we can take a taxi directly."
Of course there is money for taking a taxi. When they first came here, the Wupingxian wizard stationed here gave them some local currency.
Of course the money is not a lot, but it is enough for them to spend three or four days without being too frugal.
Of course, Jon readily accepted this proposal. He waved to stop a taxi, and because he couldn't speak Danish, he directly showed the place name on the letter to the driver.
Gabriel seemed to be riding a car for the first time, and she was very curious about this Muggle-like big iron box. She sat in the back row with Hermione, looking around, as if she had just entered from the countryside. A local girl from the city.
The driver looked very talkative, and at first he spoke a long paragraph in Danish, but Jon could only respond in English that he didn't understand.
The two immediately had no way to communicate, because the driver's English sounded very bad. When he said something, Jon had to think for a long time before he understood what it meant.
Soon they arrived at the position on the letter.
This is a yard that doesn’t look very big. There is also a small two-story building with a red roof in the yard, surrounded by green lawns and a small garden.
Jon took Hermione and Gabriel and pushed open the courtyard door, came to the door, and knocked on it.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and then a boy who looked only six or seven years old pushed open the door and looked at them with blinking eyes.
Jon waved at him with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, does Dennis Cass live here?"
The boy obviously understood English. He looked at Jon, then at Hermione, and finally at Gabriel who was standing beside Jon.
For some unknown reason, his face suddenly turned red, and he turned around and shouted into the room.
"Mom! Someone is looking for Daddy."
As the boy shouted, a woman in an apron came out of the room as if she had just put down the vacuum cleaner in her hand. She looked at Jon and the others suspiciously.
"you."
"It's Mrs. Maxim." Jon showed her the letter he was holding, "Your husband's friend, madam, we are her juniors, and she asked us to visit."
Obviously this Mrs. Cass knew the surname Maxim. After confirming the letter in Jon's hand, she invited the three of them into the house and asked them to sit in the living room to rest first. Dennis Cass I work in a nearby supermarket and come back for lunch.
Then she prepared tea and pastries for them. When the boy named Henry Cass served the biscuits, he kept secretly looking at Gabriel.
Of course Gabriel noticed his gaze, pulled her mouth and made a face at him, causing the boy to run shyly and hide behind his mother.
Mrs. Cass didn't seem to know what kind of identity her husband had, and she really just regarded Jon and his arrival as a courtesy visit from a friend's younger generation.
She put down the housework in her hands, sat in front of the sofa and chatted with Jon.
They are all normal inquiries, asking Jon who is Mrs. Maxim, what school he is studying now, and what he is doing in Denmark this time.
These questions were of course avoided by Jon's vague words.
Since that Mr. Cass has concealed the affairs of the magic world from his family, he naturally has his own ideas. Jon has no intention of destroying the relationship life of his husband and wife before they meet.
And some words are not easy to make up even if they are made up now. Fortunately, Hermione is there to help set it off. Gabriel obediently did not speak from the beginning, so she dealt with Mrs. Cass.
Around 11:30 noon, a middle-aged man with a medium body and slightly bald head returned home.
He is the Dennis Cass that Jon and the others are looking for this trip.
After seeing Jon and the others, this Squib who had been out of the magic world for a long time was obviously stunned for a moment. After hearing his wife's introduction that he was Mrs. Maxim's descendant, the expression on his face obviously became a little dignified.
Finding an excuse to distract his wife and son, Dennis took Jon and the others to the study to prepare a closed conversation environment.
Jon didn't have much politeness, he directly handed over Mrs. Maxim's letter.
"We are from France, Mr. Cass, and we are students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This visit is mainly because you contacted Madam Maxime and said, have you ever heard about Delacour's house? "
Mr. Dennis read the letter, and then turned his gaze to Gabriel, who was looking at him nervously, obviously recognizing that she was the youngest daughter of the Delacour family.
"You didn't say anything to my family, did you?"
The first thing he asked was whether things about wizards had been leaked. Jon and Hermione glanced at each other. Their previous concealment was obviously a thorough consideration.
"No, sir, I told Madam that we are all Madam Maxim's nephew and niece, and I didn't reveal anything about the magic world."
Hearing what they said, Dennis breathed a sigh of relief, he explained.
"Sorry, I didn't intend to ask you any questions. You are students of Hogwarts, and you should know how unsafe the wizarding world has been these years. I have been keeping things from my family about that world, I just don't want to Let them be watched by someone, and they will be in fear all day long."
Of course Jon understands this.
"The news about Delacour's house was actually two months ago when the local newspaper reported that the police had caught two sexual harassers who harassed a couple who lived at 9 Cromwell Street The mother and daughter of No. 1. It was recorded in the news that the daughter’s name is Fleur Wilke, and she looks very beautiful like her mother. Because I learned about the appearance of Delacour’s family from Mrs. Maxime , so I feel that the mother and daughter in this matter should be them."
After listening to Dennis' statement, Jon also felt that it was very similar to the description of Gabriel's mother and sister.
As a mother and daughter with Veela bloodlines, it is normal to encounter sexual harassment. They cannot control the passive magic like charm at all. If they are pure Veela, it is difficult for normal wizards to Resist, let alone Muggles.
It’s hard to distinguish based on the hair. People with silver-white hair are not uncommon in Denmark and Northern Europe, but this is also evidence.
Got the exact news from Dennis, Jon and the others did not stay for lunch any longer.
Dennis also saw that Gabriel wanted to jump into the arms of her parents immediately, so she didn't have the intention of keeping them, but sent them out of the house with her wife and son.
Cromwell Street is a little far away from where they are now, but for Jon and the others, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.
They got so much money in total. Even if they wanted to save money, they would have nowhere to spend it after they left Denmark.
Directly called another taxi and came to the Cromwell street that Dennis mentioned.
Things went extremely smoothly, and it didn't take long for them to find the location of No. 9.
This is also a courtyard, basically the same as where Cass lived, but it was obvious that Gabriel became very nervous after coming here. She kept holding on to Jon's clothes, as if afraid that she was dreaming. If you loosen Jon's clothes, it will be like waking up from a dream.
Hermione held Gabriel's other hand by the side, lowered her head and gave her a cheering smile, which relieved the little girl from some tension.
Then, they walked into the courtyard of No. 9 Cromwell Street like a family of three, and knocked on the door.
Within a few seconds, the door was opened from the inside.
The girl who opened the door was a girl who looked like Gabriel in a magnified form. She had long, smooth silver-white hair. When she opened the door, she also saw Gabriel standing between Jon and Hermione.
The girl was obviously stunned, and Gabriel didn't make a sound at this moment, but her eye sockets began to turn red quickly, and tears were already swirling in the corners of her eyes!
"Gabrielle!"
The girl screamed.
She looked extremely excited, and excitedly hugged Gabriel on the spot, and the tears in her eyes could not be restrained.
"Woooooh, sister."
Gabriel choked in her arms, unable to speak for a long time.
Everyone in the room also heard the girl's scream, and there was a rush of footsteps. A woman with silver-white hair like the two sisters and a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary compared to the three of them The young man ran out.
They seemed to think that their daughter was in some danger, but after seeing the two figures, one big and one small hugging together, the couple also screamed.
"Oh my god!"
"Honey! How could it be you!"
Jon and Hermione didn't disturb Gabriel and her family at this moment, and they were just outside the door without making a sound.
It's just that Jon could see the unconcealable envy in Hermione's eyes when she saw the Delacour family hugging each other.
He couldn't help waving in front of Hermione. When the girl with ponytail and peaked cap turned to look at him, Jon showed a smile.
"How about I accompany you to meet your parents when you return to England?"
Jon didn't feel anything when he said this, but Hermione was slightly taken aback, and then stretched out her hand with a slightly reddened face and pulled a strand of hair behind her ear.
"That's not like something you can say."
"Hey, what do you think of me, a stone in a latrine?"
Hermione blinked, obviously not understanding Jon's slang.
"That's not the case, you must be much stronger than a stone."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that sounds a little wrong, but I'll take it as a compliment."
"I remember your promise, can't you find other excuses to go back on it?"
Jon touched his chin pretending to be suspicious.
"What did I promise?"
Hermione didn't say anything, she just raised her leg and kicked his **** hard from behind him!
