HP Approaches the Magic World

Jon ultimately did not sign the agreement.

"Your conditions are very tempting, and you can imagine how helpful you are to me, but principal, I don't want to, nor am I suitable to be a warrior."

Jon certainly doesn't want to be a warrior, never has.

His ideal is to become a scholar, and he is not yet ready to become the kind of warrior Dumbledore had in mind.

As a reserve capitalist, Jon can not only see immediate benefits, but also long-term benefits. In other words, he is better at seeing long-term benefits.

This is not a good investment.

Although it seems that there is nothing now, there are various conveniences, and you can even do what you want without going to class. As long as you can pass the exam, the teacher will not care about you, but is this really a good thing?

To a certain extent, this kind of freedom even breaks through the bottom line of Hogwarts, so the price that needs to be paid is incredibly high.

If someone else were here, they might not care.

Isn't it just to come back and guard when a war breaks out? What kind of conditions are these? It is basically an obligation that the students of Hogwarts should abide by.

But Jon is different, he can see the meaning behind this price.

Everyone knows how to play the word game. If a war breaks out and he comes back to guard, then he may not be able to leave Britain until Voldemort dies. Moreover, even if Voldemort is completely eliminated, things will not get any easier.

Hogwarts is a real war fortress, and there is never any shortage of incidents here. Unless the problem of getting along with wizards and Muggles in the entire world is fundamentally solved, there will be no day when Jon can truly leave.

In other words, the real purpose of this agreement is to bind Jon to Hogwarts.

The so-called returning to guard Hogwarts when needed, how could Jon know when that was?

This time is not fixed, it just means that if Jon signs it when necessary, his future will be quite clear.

Without any freedom, he will become the guardian of Hogwarts. Like Helga, he will be trapped in Hogwarts forever, and he may not have the rights like Dumbledore.

Gently closing the document in his hand, Jon smiled softly and handed the document back to Dumbledore.

If anyone told him in the future that Dumbledore had no scheming intentions, he would be the first to disagree. He was simply an old fox who had become a spirit and spent all day thinking about how to achieve his own goals.

Kindness is real, but so is insidiousness.

Human beings are inherently multifaceted beings.

Even Jon himself is not an existence with a single characteristic.

If someone asked him, do you want to be free?

Jon's answer must be yes.

He wants it, wants it very much.

But what he wants is eternal freedom, not exchanging future freedom for present freedom.

So he won't sign this.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to reach an agreement on this matter."

Jon really wanted to leave this time: "Principal Dumbledore, I think our cooperation is already very good now. There is no need to do anything more. I understand your purpose, but what does this have to do with me? Yes. To me, this is just a school."

Of course Hogwarts is more than just a school to him. He has been dreaming about learning magic in this castle since he was a child. This is a very precious existence. Now Helga is added to the mix. If necessary, Whatever he does for the school, he will not refuse.

But he had to say this. For his own future, he had no room for change.

Dumbledore may have many reasons for doing this, or he suddenly felt that he was very suitable to be the person to guard this school, or he had foreseen that he might encounter something unexpected, or some other reasons.

None of them were reasons for him to induce Jon.

There is no problem with this kind of logic in Dumbledore's opinion. He treated Potter the same way, directly arranging everything and letting Potter do what he wanted to do.

Just like a screenwriter who writes a TV series, he decides the various directions of the characters. Maybe Potter will be willing to follow his ideas, but Jon will not. He is different from Harry Potter, and this is not a story.

But a real world.

"Well, I don't mean to force you to do anything. If you don't want to, then we will put this document aside and never mention it again."

Dumbledore stuffed the document back into its original position. He could see that Jon had figured out his true intention, but he had nothing to be embarrassed about.

There is not even a hypocritical cover-up, as if this is an aboveboard matter and Jon's failure to sign is Jon's loss.

"I thought that because of your identity, you would have some deep feelings for the school. After all, you are also a descendant of Hufflepuff."

"My ancestors and I are not the same people. When my ancestor founded the school, he was already a successful legendary witch. But I am still a young man and I still have my own life to live. I can't stay here forever.

Isn't it? I think Professor Dumbledore, you should be able to tell me, right? The UK is not the only country in this world. The world is very big, and I still have a long future, so I can't stay here."

"Okay, okay, you kids are all heartless and don't take care of me, an old man, at all. You can leave. If anything happens in the future, just come back to me."

Dumbledore seemed very disappointed. He lifted the magic circle around him and let Jon out. Although he was a little reluctant, he couldn't force Jon to do anything. Jon didn't care about his loss and turned around and left the principal's office.

.

After being deceived by Dumbledore, how could he know whether Dumbledore was really lost?

But this time Dumbledore was really a little disappointed. After Jon left, the surrounding portraits began to ask questions.

Dumbledore didn't speak, but the principals in the portrait could tell.

"I knew that guy was so smart, how could he not see the restrictions of the treaty?"

Armando snorted, but Helga's portrait was hanging there, and he didn't dare to say anything too harsh to Jon. He could only comfort Dumbledore: "If you ask me, Albus, you can still live a long time."

There is no time, why should we start preparing for funeral now?"

“Being prepared is naturally better than being unprepared.”

Akali glared at Armando, "Speaking of which, Albus, I think Severus is more suitable..."
