HP Approaches the Magic World

"That's for sure. You should think more about such a serious matter."

Jon said very easily, because he still has great confidence in Lockhart.

No matter what role Dumbledore needed Lockhart to play, Lockhart was capable of it.

This is the self-cultivation of a liar.

After saying this, Jon said goodbye to Dumbledore from the principal's office.

After spending nearly three hours here, it was already past midnight when he went out.

Professor Snape was waiting next to the stone statue outside the principal's room, and judging from his appearance, he did not come to see Dumbledore.

Jon smiled awkwardly, then kept the smile on his face and moved forward in a flattering manner.

"Ha, it's been a long time no see."

He smiled deliberately: "It's so late, Professor, what are you doing here? Are you out to admire the moon?"

"There is no moon today."

Today, Snape also had a straight face, a bit more serious than usual.

"And Mr. Smith, I think I should deduct some points from you for wandering around the castle so late."

"You are out of touch when you say this."

After all, what happened in the afternoon was his fault. Jon took the blame and couldn't smile playfully with Snape as usual. He could only try his best to please.

"It's so late and you haven't rested yet. You've come to wait for me here. You must have something important to say."

Snape still said nothing.

——This damn arrogance!

Jon grinded his teeth imperceptibly, but he also knew that if Snape was waiting for Dumbledore here and didn't say anything, it meant that something was indeed going on.

The only way to deal with tsundere is to be shameless, and Jon knows this very well.

So he directly stretched out his hand and grabbed Snape's sleeve.

"Let's go, Professor, let's talk as we walk."

…

Principal's office.

As Jon left, Dumbledore waved, and a book floated down from the bookshelf.

This booklet looks ordinary, except for a small phoenix pattern printed on the title page.

Investigative report from the Order of the Phoenix.

Dumbledore actually didn't attach much importance to privacy. It was mainly to achieve his goals. Moreover, these things were done in secret and did not alert the people under investigation.

Moreover, some of the information is based on the investigation of the respondent's resume and does not involve the current status.

This book is an investigative report about Jon's teacher.

Dumbledore didn't know about this at first. He learned about Jon's mysteriously finding a teacher through his correspondence with Jon's grandmother, Carolina Young, and then he started to let Phoenix

People in the society survey people who fit the relevant characteristics.

In addition to a bunch of wizards, there are even a few witches, which matches the information revealed by Lady Carolina.

For the Order of the Phoenix, which doesn't have anything serious to do at the moment, doing this kind of thing may be overkill, but it can still properly train their abilities.

Even if it is an organization created to fight Voldemort, it cannot be fighting Voldemort all the time, right?

To put it bluntly, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​now an invisible force used by Dumbledore to maintain his ability to control the magical world. Can he maintain his position by relying on prestige and power alone?

That's just a lie from the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore never denied his control over power, but he would not deliberately show it. Influence is always secret, better than overt, and he learned from the Muggle Prime Minister.

When it comes to dealing with these matters, being in such an important position or having such a reputation is a very hot thing. Although Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, does not say this and consults him on everything, but

It doesn't mean that Fudge really doesn't have other thoughts deep down in his heart.

It must be a very sad thing to become a Minister of Magic who does not live up to his name.

Dumbledore actually did not want to acquire so many rights. Having rights is also a very tiring thing. What you need to give and give up is always much more than what you get. This is something he himself understands deeply.

But there was nothing he could do.

What he carries on his back is the security of the entire magical world. If he cannot prevent Voldemort's return, who among the officials at the Ministry of Magic can maintain the current peace?

This is also the reason why the members of the Order of the Phoenix are so loyal to Dumbledore. They know very well that if Dumbledore really falls, there will probably be no one left who can stop Voldemort.

Having fought against Death Eaters for so many years, they know best what kind of people they are.

He was ruthless, scheming, and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals. In comparison, a being as powerful as Dumbledore who was dedicated to maintaining the peace of the magical world was very rare, if not rare.

To become members of the Order of the Phoenix, they just need a peaceful life.

Dumbledore is the person who can undoubtedly give them a sense of security. At the same time, their good impression of the legendary wizard and Dumbledore's prestige has strengthened their trust in Dumbledore, so they are willing to carry out Dumbledore's will.

Belief is really important to a group of people who own an organization.

If Jon knew these things, he would definitely say so.

But he obviously doesn't know this.

Dumbledore opened the book and found Lockhart's page.

These are summaries of Lockhart's past experiences, recording Lockhart's early experiences.

Gilderoy Lockhart was born into a mixed-race family: his mother was a witch, his father was a Muggle, and he had two older sisters.

He is the only child in the family who has shown magical talent. He is also a smart and beautiful little boy, so he has been favored by his mother without scruples.

When he was studying at Hogwarts, his teachers thought that his intelligence and ability were above average. As long as he studied hard and worked hard, he might achieve a career of his own and was assigned to Ravenclaw.

Hart quickly achieved good results in his studies, but the arrogant nature of "doing the best or not doing it at all" kept bothering him, making him increasingly dissatisfied with himself.

Gradually, he put his talents to use taking shortcuts and being lazy.

He studies diligently, not to improve himself, but to gain attention for himself. He is eager for various awards and for everyone to know him.

Dumbledore still remembered that when he once pestered him to start a school newspaper, he was indeed a very ambitious student, but after Lockhart graduated, Dumbledore never heard of him again.
