In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 524: What do you want

Jon didn't have the luxury of researching this all by himself.

He was confident in himself, but not to the point of arrogance, and before he left, Iniesta had reminded him that he must pay good attention to the flow of time between the two worlds.

Now that it had been established that this world had moved forward half a year more than the time they had come from, and the time Voldemort had spent using the time-turner to change the situation was also half a year, now that more than ten years had passed and this half a year time difference still existed, it meant that the flow of time between the two worlds had become the same.

It also meant that no matter how long he and Lily stayed in this world, the same amount of time would have passed in their original world.

There is no way for anyone to guarantee for how long the remaining Witching Horizon members will be able to resist Voldemort with Grindelwald in the picture, and the bottom line that Jon had decided on in private with Lily is two weeks.

They had to solve all the problems of this world and head back within two weeks, they couldn't keep dragging it out any longer than that.

That being said, Jon would also have to try to finish what was on this note within two weeks, once he returned to his original world, he wouldn't necessarily have that kind of time or opportunity again.

So after sharing that note with Dumbledore, Dumbledore also put down his other work at hand, and together with Jon began to delve deeper into the possibilities of the ideas in it.

He originally thought, like Slughorn, that the contents of the notes were a bit pie-in-the-sky, but after seeing that Jon is now capable of transforming into the Phoenix Animagus, the Levitation Charm, the General Counter-Spell and the Invisible Sword Curse all succeeded by virtue of the ring, he no longer had any doubts, and instead came to the Room of Requirement with Jon, to help him in his further attempts.

The beginning of their experiment was dangerous, Jon needed to transform his body towards the kind of bearing that the ring carried first, which not only required an extremely high level of skill in Transfiguration, but also he had to be familiar enough with the nature of the ring itself.

The good thing is that Dumbledore himself is the world's top wizard in the attainment of Transfiguration, and the ring has been with Jon for five years, and no one knows it better than he does.

Although these would cause some problems for them, they were not difficult to solve.

Just as they were delving into the notes Adrian had left behind, Lily had also made some inquiries about the Golden Cup.

Inside a rather luxurious manor, Lily, who had changed her appearance, was sitting on the main seat. In front of her, the owners of the manor, the entire Selwyn family, a noble Pureblood family in the British magical world, were all sitting paralysed on the ground with deathly grey complexions.

There was no trace of half a fight in the surroundings, and it was obvious that no forceful conflict had erupted between them, but they had been presented with such a bizarre relationship.

"Not only was it because of your betrayal back in 1975 that Aurors arrested Lodar and his party; but there was also the day two years after that you dared to make an unknown deal with the then head of Auror Office behind your lord's back. A small portion of the Death Eaters' actions you had leaked to him to help him change the angry accusations of his incompetence by the public when he was at his wits' end over the destruction the Death Eaters were causing at the time. In turn, you can also work with the Aurors to help those Death Eaters you betrayed escape from harm's way in some emergencies, and not only you made some personal connections of your own, but you also gained the credibility of your lord and master as a result of it."

Lily said slowly.

"You performed such a double act together three times, which resulted in four Death Eaters being captured in Azkaban and three Aurors losing their lives. You were also aware that doing more of this kind of thing would definitely arouse other people's suspicion, so you promptly closed your hands on this, one-sidedly severed contact with the head of the Auror Office, and then looked for the right opportunity, later on, to lure him out from the Ministry of Magic and kill him, and through this, you again claimed the credit in front of your lord..."

Accompanied by Lily's words, the sweat on the face of the current Selwyn family's head, a middle-aged male wizard, was also increasing.

This witch that no one had ever seen before had suddenly appeared in his home, she didn't say a word at first, she just threw a piece of parchment that recorded the things he had done over the years in front of himself, followed by saying all the things that he had ever done.

Selwyn didn't dare do anything rash, laying his hands on a witch he had never met wouldn't have even a little bit of psychological burden for him.

But now he had no idea how many people knew about what he had done!

If these things get disclosed, not to mention how he could explain on Voldemort's side, just within the Death Eaters, his reputation would completely stink, and at the same time, there is no way for him to continue to stay in the British magical world, this is something that completely offends both sides.

"Where's the evidence! Who will believe your words if you speak without proof?"

"Do you think your lord is someone who needs evidence to prove it?"

Lily said flatly.

"As long as he's suspicious of you, isn't your mind akin to his lavatory, going in and out whenever he wants?"

"What about the Ministry of Magic! And what proof do you have to prove any of this!"

"I even have a way to know about all the crap you used to do, if there really wasn't any proof, do you think I would come to your door?"

Lily said carelessly like she didn't care at all about how Selwyn would ultimately decide, and precisely it was this attitude that gave Selwyn incomparably huge pressure.

It was certainly not because of anything else that she could know about all the nastiness that this pureblood family had once done, but in the original world, Lily had personally caught the male wizard in front of her and had used the Truth Potion to dig out a lot of secrets about the Death Eaters from his mouth.

Most of that information is no longer useful in this world, after all, Voldemort disappeared from here from the beginning, these Death Eaters do not have the backing, and can only honestly be a submissive 'noble' in the magical world, but before Voldemort went to the Potter's house, there was no change in the history of that period.

And naturally, this became a leverage in Lily's hands, and she could easily control those among the Death Eaters whose loyalty to Voldemort had been wavering, and whose loyalty to Voldemort could be said to be almost completely non-existent.

Just like Selwyn at this moment, he didn't dare to bet at all, as Lily said, since she could know those things back then in such detail, who would know if she had any crucial evidence in her hands?

After a moment of silence, Selwyn swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a struggling voice.
