HP Approaches the Magic World

"I'm very interested."

Dumbledore pushed up his glasses, stuffed a small snack into his mouth, and pretended to be listening.

"Tell me about it, Jon."

"OK."

Jon straightened his back, sat up straighter on the chair, and then said:

"In the last school year, I suggested to Professor Sprout to establish a club in Hufflepuff House. Do you know about this?"

Dumbledore nodded.

“Many students in this club are not outstanding in academic talent. It is with the mutual help of club members that they can barely keep up with the school’s teaching progress. But on the other hand, these students have their own advantages.

"

"Advantages?" Dumbledore smiled: "Of course that's for sure. Every student who can become a wizard has their own advantages."

"No, I'm not talking about that advantage."

Jon shook his head and retorted:

"What I'm talking about is the common advantages of all of them."

Common advantages?

Isn't that what Hufflepuff is?

Dumbledore was also a teacher at Hogwarts, so he was very aware of the style of the entire Hufflepuff academy. This academy has indeed produced many upright and kind wizards, and they were also as brave as Gryffindor.

, there are even dozens of wizards who have achieved great achievements, but if there is one characteristic that all students in this academy have in common, it is probably...

"Yes, that's right, just as you think, the advantage of Hufflepuff students is that they are ordinary."

"ordinary?"

Dumbledore didn't understand. He was not discriminating against ordinary students. As a qualified teacher, he would not discriminate against any student. But to say that being ordinary was an advantage?

I'm afraid he can't agree.

Perhaps like his ancestor, the legendary witch Hufflepuff, Jon saw some different benefits. Dumbledore only saw so many members of the Hufflepuff family, so he couldn't figure it out.

The brain circuits of their family members.

"Please tell me in detail."

"I would like to ask you a question. You have so many books here, and even many story books. When you read the story, do you notice that the scenes appear in the author's description, but are not mentioned by the author?

Where’s the role?”

What kind of role is this? Dumbledore really thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "No, I have never noticed the existence of these people."

"Next question, do you know who Scully is?"

Dumbledore: "..."

He really couldn't remember it for a while, but he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, and where...

When Jon saw Dumbledore starting to reminisce, he knew that Dumbledore had not remembered Scully.

"He is an ordinary student in Hufflepuff and is my roommate."

"Oh, I know now."

Dumbledore felt as if he had already thought of what Jon wanted to say, but he didn't know whether his guess was right or wrong: "When you mentioned this classmate, did you want to say something?"

"Just an example, Professor."

Jon said slowly: "In fact, our ordinary wizards' brains are limited, and they cannot fully notice who is around them, so when something happens, they will not be able to remember who is there.

The situations around us, and these people we can't think of, happen to be people we don't usually notice. The advantage I mentioned is precisely this."

"So, is it an ordinary advantage?" Dumbledore instantly understood what Jon wanted to say: "Do you want your friends in the club to help you protect Harry? With all due respect, Jon, this

Not a good choice.

What we need is to keep this matter as secret as possible. If too many people come in, how can we keep it secret?"

"I never said I would tell everyone about this?"

Jon blinked and looked at Dumbledore with clear and harmless-looking pupils.

"Didn't I say it before? I want to write a novel with Mr. Potter as the protagonist, but I don't have enough material, so I can't make it up randomly, right?

So I ask my friends in the club to help me if they are willing, and let them give full play to their strengths and observe Harry's daily behavior on my behalf. I am providing them with a reward, and I will use myself for this reward.

Not only does it support wizard currency, it can even be paid with equivalent Muggle currency, so you don't have to worry about money.

Next, my friends will face a problem, because if Harry knew that I was observing him, he would definitely become nervous and his usual behavior would be unnatural. Such a plot would not look realistic enough.

Isn’t it?

Therefore, observers must keep secrets, and when necessary, it is also necessary to use oath constraints.

My idea is to select some reliable students from the club and let them appear normally next to Mr. Potter in normal situations. In this way, I will have his daily material, and I will have some insights into his daily life.

You have done your best to protect me. If something big happens, I think you, the old man, will also pay attention to Mr. Potter, right?"

"What you're saying is that you want me to help you record Potter's performance when some big event happens?"

Dumbledore asked with a smile, it seemed like a peaceful question.

Jon didn't think Dumbledore had any other intentions, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it seriously.

Now that we have talked about this, do we still want him to take it back?

Besides, this plan is actually very good.

"Yes." He admitted his plan frankly: "After all, you are the initiator of this plan, and you know best what can and cannot be said. Besides, Rank, isn't he helping Ms. Rowling proofread the manuscript?"

This is not a threat, just normal negotiation.

Jon laid out all the pros and cons and took all the investment on himself. He didn't believe that Dumbledore wouldn't be tempted by such a condition.

"But you must have your own plans that you haven't spoken out yet."

Dumbledore thought about it carefully and found that Jon's plan was really the best plan at the moment, and there were no major flaws.

He just said that, and he had no intention of asking Jon to reveal all his plans. Anyway, there would be no problem if he did.

"There is no problem with this plan. I agree. I will do as you say. Do you have any questions?"

"No, now that these two things are settled, I don't have any other problems for the time being."

Jon said with a smile.
