"I've heard so much about you."
"... Oh? You know me?" Jason was a little surprised.
"As a governor of Hogwarts, it is naturally necessary to know every professor at Hogwarts, such as the new Alchemy Professor, Mr. Jason Heath," Lucius said reservedly.
"Oh, I've heard so much about you, I've heard so much about you," Jason replied politely.
"This is my card. It has the address of Malfoy Manor on it. Malfoy Manor welcomes you as a guest." Lucius took out a verdant card and handed it over.
"I will."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Jason left Flourish and Blotts. As for the Malfoy father and son, they were still choosing books in the bookstore.
Draco, while choosing, suddenly said, "Father, I haven't heard of the Heath family before?"
"Are you asking why I should show goodwill to him even though he is suspected of being a Muggle-born?" Lucius responded.
"Yes."
"Dumbledore said that this Jason Heath belongs to the old-fashioned apprentice wizards. Whether he is Muggle-born remains to be investigated. After all, according to the information I have found, Jason Heath is an orphan and not necessarily Muggle-born."
"Moreover, his alchemy skills are really powerful, which is enough for me to ignore his bloodline. And the so-called pure-blood is because pure-blood can bring us tangible benefits. If the name of pure-blood cannot bring us benefits, and may even bring us disaster..."
Lucius paused here, obviously waiting for Draco to add something, but unfortunately...
"....."
"If this name cannot bring us benefits and fame, we must make this name infinitely transparent. If this name brings us danger, we must abandon this name."
"What is precious is never the so-called pure-blood, but tangible benefits, understand?" Lucius had no choice but to reveal all the answers himself.
Draco was silent for a while and nodded. Of course, whether he really listened was still unknown.
On the other side, at Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Jason arrived late and found Harry sitting on the small sofa waiting.
"Sorry, did you wait long?"
"It's okay, where's Hagrid?" Harry stood up with a smile.
"Didn't see him. He said he went to Knockturn Alley or something." Jason shook his head.
"Let's go find him. I remember seeing a sign for Knockturn Alley before."
"Uh-huh, I have no objections, let's go then."
The two found the path leading to Knockturn Alley. There were not many people along the way, and some were just decadent wizards huddled in the corners.
Soon, a path came to an end, and Knockturn Alley appeared in front of the two. The general layout was similar to Diagon Alley, but it was sparsely populated, and the atmosphere revealed a sense of death and peril.
"It doesn't look very proper. What is Hagrid doing here?" Jason curled his lips. He didn't like places that were lifeless and obviously not good places.
"Is that Hagrid?" Harry suddenly pointed in one direction. Jason also looked over there. To be honest, Hagrid's size was really easy to spot.
It just looked like he was probably in... a little trouble. Three black-robed wizards surrounded Hagrid, as if threatening something.
"Stay behind me, don't run too far," Jason said to Harry. He was still a little worried and summoned an Ender Pearl and handed it to him.
"Smash it if you encounter danger."
Saying that, he took Harry towards Hagrid.
"Hagrid, what's the problem?" Jason shouted towards Hagrid from a distance.
"Why are you here? To be honest, I can actually handle it." Hagrid looked back at Jason and Harry walking towards him and said a little embarrassedly.
"This is none of your business. Believe me, pretty boy, you don't want to take a dark magic," one of the black-robed wizards threatened in his hoarse voice.
"I'll say the same thing, really, you guys hurry up and get out of here now, and you won't suffer any harm." Jason shrugged, not stopping at all.
"You're courting death, Crucio!"
A streak of ghastly green curse flew towards Jason at a rapid speed and was cleanly blocked by a piece of obsidian that appeared abruptly.
"Hey, stay away from my friends! Come at me!" Hagrid, in the crowd, watched one of the black wizards attack Jason, immediately took out his wand, but accidentally was a step slower, and the little red umbrella was knocked away by a disarming charm.
Hagrid, who missed with one blow, directly used his fists, but... to be honest, black wizards are not little wizards still studying at Hogwarts, and fists are really not as lethal as evil curses.
"Today, all three of you have to fall here! We said it!" The black wizard who cast the curse to attack Jason said rampantly.
"Isn't it just dark magic, who doesn't know it?" Jason frowned, and a wither skeleton head appeared in his hand. The next moment, it rushed towards the black wizard with ominous black smoke.
And the black wizard was a little dumbfounded when he saw the instant dark magic cast silently without a wand.
Dark magic? Wandless? Silent?
A tough guy?
Oh... he understood, it's instant death!
The next moment, the wither skeleton head exploded on his chest with a bang. Although the last time the wither skeleton head exploded, the target was Jason himself, at least it still recognized its owner and didn't directly let Jason go see Notch, but this black wizard didn't have that kind of consideration.
The explosion, along with the wither effect, directly took his life.
And the other two black wizards who were still attacking Hagrid also understood that Jason was a tough guy and ran away directly.
Just as the two of them were about to apparate, a wither skeleton head directly blew up the black wizard who was farther away from Hagrid, and the other black wizard who was closer to Hagrid was hit by a dark green beam.
As the beam shattered, Jason directly appeared in front of him, and a pale purple longsword pierced through the black wizard's chest close to his face.
"Hagrid, are you okay?" Jason pulled out the longsword, and as the corpse fell to the roadside, the longsword in his hand disappeared in due course.
"No... I'm okay. I really didn't know you were so powerful before. I thought you only knew alchemy, hahahaha!" Hagrid picked up the little red umbrella wand on the ground and scratched his head and said.
At the same time, trust from Hagrid and Harry poured into Jason's body like flowing water.
