Hermione agreed to Jon's invitation without even thinking about it.
Among these rescued students, Jon's reputation is even higher than Dumbledore.
Because it was Jon who brought them out of that castle before they knew who Dumbledore was, and among these people, Hermione was the most familiar with Jon.
After all, it was the two of them who made the entire escape plan, and it was Jon who rescued Hermione. The two naturally became friends.
So Hermione didn't even think about rejecting Jon's invitation.
The next day, after the morning class ended, Jon and Hermione walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom together.
He didn't take her to any empty classroom. It happened that Hagrid invited him to have afternoon tea in front of the carriage in the morning. The driving seat of the carriage was a very nice place. Only Hagrid was beside him, so it was safe and undisturbed by others.
"Did you learn the concept of gravity when you were in Muggle primary school?"
Jon did not go to primary school in the UK, and he was not sure whether the courses in the orphanage were the same as those in primary schools outside.
Hermione was a little confused as to why Jon would ask such a question. She raised her head and thought for a moment. Her memory of being an ordinary Muggle student had become blurred in her mind after the past two years.
But is she a fool? She has not forgotten everything she learned in elementary school.
"Gravity? We learned it in the fifth grade." Hermione said firmly. "In the last chapter of the fifth grade science class, the teacher specifically taught us knowledge related to forces, including gravity, friction, and The Leverage Principle.”
Jon was not surprised by this. The British side has always attached great importance to science courses, and the courses have been established since the first grade. It takes a total of six school years, and the knowledge learned will definitely be relatively more.
"Then do you still have an impression of the concept of gravity?"
Hermione nodded hesitantly.
"I haven't forgotten what the teacher said..." She turned to look at Jon, "But... what role does this knowledge have in the magical world? The existence of magic means that a lot of scientific knowledge has to be Overturned.”
Jon didn't say it directly, nor did he deny Hermione's words, he just said it casually.
"I just have some ideas on this, and I want to ask you to try it out. Let's wait until Hagrid gets there. After that, I will tell you what we are going to do."
They continued along the carriage corridor and arrived at the end opposite Principal Dumbledore's office. The door leading to the driver's seat was only ajar, as if Hagrid had left it specially for Jon.
He opened the door and walked out of the car with Hermione.
The breeze, dampened by the protective spell, blew past them, lifting a corner of their robes and the hair on their foreheads.
The carriage was speeding along the edge of a large lake. The wheels ran over the green and fresh grass but left no traces of the horses.
This seemingly ordinary and dilapidated carriage was actually enchanted with a large amount of magic. Otherwise, even if Voldemort did not want to cut off Dumbledore's last hope, they would not have been able to live in exile for so long in this dangerous magical world.
When Jon and Hermione came over, Hagrid was chatting with someone in the driver's seat. When they turned around, they saw clearly that the person next to Hagrid was not someone at all, but Gagrid, who was brought to the carriage yesterday. Bree.
"Jon!"
Under the light, the little girl, who looked even more unreal, waved and said hello to Jon. After seeing them, Hagrid also brought out the black tea and small desserts that had been prepared in advance.
"Good afternoon, Jon, I thought you would bring Neville and the others over?" Hagrid smiled and turned his eyes to Hermione, "I know this little girl, her name is Hermione Granger, right? A very good girl. Brave girl. If that old hat could be sorted, she would be the perfect Gryffindor."
When Hagrid invited him, Jon told him in advance that he would bring someone with him. Neville, Ron, and others had come to the driving seat of the carriage with Jon to chat with Hagrid before, so Hagrid was not sure about this matter. Don't care.
He just didn't expect that the person Jon brought was Hermione.
Hermione could tell that Hagrid was complimenting her. While working in the bookstore during the summer vacation, she had peeked at the banned book "Hogwarts: A History of the School". Naturally, she knew that Hogwarts would sort new students into different houses before. and the qualities each college represents.
Her face was slightly red, and she reached out to smooth her long hair that was blown in front of her face by the wind.
"I'm not as brave as you say, just call me Hermione."
Jon asked as he looked at Gabrielle in confusion.
"Why are you here Hagrid?"
"You all went to class in the morning. Gabrielle doesn't want to disturb you, but it's boring in the carriage."
She sounded happy, so instead of saying "I" she called out her name.
"Then invite Gabrielle here to chat with Hagrid when he enters the carriage for breakfast."
"It's really great here!" She seemed to be having a great time chatting with Hagrid, completely losing her timidity when she first got on the carriage. "Hagrid drove the carriage past a pasture in the morning! There were a lot of cows there, very close to each other. Sometimes Gabrielle can even touch a cow's horns!"
Seeing that Gabrielle didn't feel any discomfort after arriving in the carriage, Jon couldn't help but smile.
Who doesn't love an innocent little kid?
The carriage's driver's seat was large enough for Hagrid to lie down. Now even with Jon, Hermione, and Gabrielle, who took up no space in her ghost state, it seemed quite spacious.
Hagrid knew that Jon had brought Hermione with him to do some experiments, so he did not disturb them. Instead, he and Gabrielle, who was in the other half of the driver's seat, used Transfiguration to conjure a long-handled fishing net, trying to catch a fish from the lake beside them while driving at high speed.
"I heard from Neville that you learned the levitation spell very quickly. You have mastered it completely on the third day after coming to the carriage?" Jon asked.
Hermione also drew out her wand and nodded.
"It is not as difficult to cast spells with a wand as it is to cast spells with gestures. In addition, there are many similarities between the two different ways of casting spells, so it is easier for me to learn. Hamton and Ariel have also learned the levitation spell. Professor Flitwick is very satisfied with this progress."
Jon looked at Hermione and asked tentatively.
"When you were learning the levitation spell, did you ever think about what kind of force this spell created to exert an effect on objects and make them float?"
