Chapter 78 77. Administrator's Office

After the afternoon class, Hermione and the others went to get the tools they would use to clean the bathroom, but Jon found an excuse not to go with them.

He walked out of the classroom alone, then entered the bathroom for mudbloods, and put on the invisibility cloak.

It was already evening, but it was not completely dark yet. In such an environment, Jon only needed to walk close to the wall and be careful so that he would not be easily discovered by other students.

After putting on the invisibility cloak, he also cast a floating spell on his body, which would make his next movements lighter and faster.

He walked up a staircase that mudbloods were not allowed to step on at ordinary times. On the way, he met many half-blood and pure-blood students who had just finished class and were walking downstairs to the auditorium to prepare for dinner.

They talked and laughed, just like normal students living in an ordinary school. They passed by Jon, but did not notice that a mudblood who should not be here was swimming upstream.

Jon moved quickly. He counted the floors silently in his mind. It took him less than half a minute to get from the first floor to the fifth floor. It had become empty here. Most of the students had left for the auditorium.

Just when Jon arrived at the fifth floor, Dolohov happened to walk out of his office. He turned over and closed the door of his office, then walked past Jon and went downstairs.

This was certainly not a coincidence. In the three weeks since he came to the castle, Jon had been observing Dolohov's behavior every day. He had basically figured out the work and rest time of the castle administrator.

Some professors would have their house elves deliver food directly to their offices for dinner, but Dolohov liked to go to the auditorium very much. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of those students who saw him, bowed to him, and called him "Mr. Dolohov".

So he had three meals a day in the auditorium like normal students. In other words, after dinner, there would be a window period of about half an hour in his office, and this was the opportunity Jon had been eyeing for a week.

After watching Dolohov walk down the stairs, Jon walked quickly to the door of his office.

The door was not locked, because there was no blind student in the castle who dared to sneak into the office of this perverted administrator.

Jon carefully pushed the door open, and then closed it again.

After entering the door, he first took a quick look at the office environment.

It was very dark here, and the orange-red sun that had already set halfway outside the window only shone in a sunset and fell on the dark ground.

There were four or five cold chains and shackles hanging from the ceiling, making this room look more like an interrogation room than an office.

There were no portraits of any people hanging on the surrounding walls, which was the best news for Jon.

Portraits in the magic world are usually alive, and the characters in them have their own consciousness and can communicate with people. If there is also a portrait hanging in Dolohov's office, Jon will not be discovered wearing the invisibility cloak, but the purpose of coming to this office will not be achieved, and it will also expose the fact that someone broke into Dolohov's office.

The various parchments on the desk were placed in a mess. It seemed that the administrator did not have the habit of tidying up his room diligently. Jon did not look at the things on the desk, but went directly to the wooden cabinet by the wall.

This is basically all the contraband that Dolohov collected from half-blood and pure-blood students. He could not use force against students other than mudbloods, even if they were half-bloods. At most, he would confiscate the tools used in the crime and punish them by putting them in solitary confinement.

Jon began to search in the wooden cabinet. Even at this time, he did not take off his invisibility cloak, and his movements when looking for things were very light. As long as he was sure that it was not what he wanted, he would put them back in place.

The wooden cabinets were not very big, and there were not many things stored in them. They were basically some prank props, the kind that could be bought in the magic joke shop in Diagon Alley. It took Jon more than ten minutes to turn over the two wooden cabinets, but he still didn't find what he was looking for.

Looking at the administrator's office in front of him, he frowned slightly.

Thinking carefully, maybe he was going in the wrong direction.

The thing he was going to find was confiscated from James and others by the former administrator Filch before the fall of Hogwarts Castle. Now the castle has changed its owner, and the administrator has become an extreme pure-blood wizard. Will he keep the things left by his predecessor, the rebellious Filch?

Just as Jon was thinking, a conversation suddenly sounded outside the office door from far away.

"Is it really okay for us to steal things from Dolohov like this?" The voice sounded a little silly, and the voice was also relatively thick.

The voice that answered him made Jon feel familiar. He had met this boy in Diagon Alley.

"What are you afraid of? He only loves his shackles and never checks whether the contraband he collected is missing. We won't be discovered. Besides, even if we are discovered, what can we do? My father is the office director of the Auror Command, and your fathers also work in the Ministry of Magic. At most, he will put us in solitary confinement for a few days, and he won't do anything to us."

The conversation outside the door was still going on. Jon had already put away his invisibility cloak and hid under the desk.

The door of Dolohov's office was opened again by three students from the outside. In came Draco Malfoy and his two followers Crabbe and Goyle.

They were far less cautious than Jon. They just poked their heads into the office, as if they wanted to steal the contraband that Dolohov had taken away before.

"Go find the cabinet over there, Goyle. Be careful not to mess things up."

Jon was under the desk and watched the three of them come to the wooden cabinet and start searching. However, they were obviously much luckier than Jon and soon found what they wanted.

The thing was found by Crabbe. It was a blue ball about the size of a ping-pong ball.

Draco took the ball and showed an excited expression on his face.

"I brought this to school from home without telling my father. Luckily, Dolohov didn't throw it into the room on the first floor like he did with the other half-bloods' stuff. I don't want to go to the first floor to look for stuff and run into the mudbloods!"

If nothing goes wrong, there will be two more chapters in the evening
