Chapter 182: Jon and Dumbledore (Part 2)
What kind of person was Albus Dumbledore?
Rita Skeeter called him "an insidious conspirator".
In the eyes of Harry Potter and the members of the Order of the Phoenix, he may be "a kind and dignified elder".
Dumbledore was such a contradictory combination.
On the one hand, he treats his friends, subordinates and students well, helps and trusts them in their most difficult times, and does not care about their mistakes......
On the other hand, he will do whatever it takes to win, even his own life, not to mention others, and everything is just his pawn......
With his foresight, Jon Hart can have a deep understanding of Dumbledore, which is one of his strengths.
So in the previous years, he had tried to distance himself from Dumbledore.
......
But fate seems to have played a joke on him!
From spitting out his name from the Goblet of Fire, or more precipitously, from secretly freeing Buckbeak and Black a year ago, Jon found himself firmly tied to Dumbledore.
In a sense, that's not a bad thing.
Over the past year, he had learned a lot from Dumbledore...... A lot of this knowledge would not have been possible for him to access even if he had spent seven years in any magic academy.
As an ordinary wizard, he may be moved by Dumbledore's trust and teachings, and overwhelmed by Dumbledore's personality charm, and will do his best for Dumbledore!
Dumbledore, on the other hand, will play big chess on him, making him a piece of the puzzle of victory...... At the same time, Dumbledore will try his best to give him a more perfect ending in the end.
Newt Scamander is like that, so is Severus Snape, and so is Harry Potter......
But it's not the same yourself.
He's not Newt, not Snape, not Harry;
He wouldn't be able to walk on the path that Albus Dumbledore had set for him, it would be too dangerous!
Because Jon had always believed that Dumbledore was overestimating himself.
As a prophetic traverser, with the bonus of traversal, he can do many things perfectly, but this does not mean that he has such strength.
It's like you can easily crush Fleur Delacour and Victor Krum in the Triwizard Tournament, but if you change to an unfamiliar event, you may only be able to reach it.
This is not presumptuous, but the fact, I am only a third-grade student, and it is clear how many pounds and taels I have.
But Dumbledore didn't know that!
Perhaps, in Dumbledore's eyes, he was an immortal genius, a genius on the same level as him when he was young and Grindelwald when he was young?
Dumbledore may not have felt that some tasks were difficult for him, but in fact they could be quite dangerous.
Once you lose the crossing bonus and have to follow the path arranged by Dumbledore and face this danger, the risk of death will be greatly increased.
Jon didn't feel the need to take such a risk.
So for most of the past six months, Jon has been thinking about how to get rid of his relationship with Dumbledore.
It's difficult, I'm a Hogwarts warrior and Dumbledore's protégé, and I'm afraid most of the wizarding world already knows this.
Maybe I had the hope of transferring to France before the Triwizard Tournament, but after that, it became a floating cloud.
There was no reason to break with Dumbledore, and Jon didn't have the guts.
Ever since Dumbledore threw his name into the Goblet of Fire (Jon was sure, he was the only one who could do that, and no one but him could do that), Jon had learned this.
However, there is one more chance!
Before the second project, Jon thought of this opportunity.
That is, let Jon Hart die!
Only death can put an end to this.
Luckily, the third project could give Jon a chance to die.
......
The portraits of the headmaster on the walls were much quieter.
After a brief moment of shock and euphoria, they soon realized that something was wrong.
All the principals returned to their respective portraits, silently awaiting the follow-up results.
The door to the principal's office was pushed open.
Albus Dumbledore walked in.
"What's going on?" he asked, looking at Jon with a serious face.
Dumbledore's eyes weren't surprised, but there were doubts.
"Alastor Moody is a Death Eater. Jon stood up and gave Dumbledore a seat, "More precisely, Barty Crouch Jr., the Death Eater, was disguised; Mr. Crouch's son, he's still alive, re-serving the Death Eaters and killing his father!"
Dumbledore didn't sit down, he was still standing there.
Even after hearing such shocking news, the expression on Dumbledore's face did not fluctuate in any way: "I guessed something...... So, the corpse?"
"Yes!" Jon nodded, "He attacked me and tried to control me with the Imperius Curse...... Luckily, Fawkes saved me, broke free from the Imperius curse, and knocked him down!"
"I've always carried the elixir with me, because it was the first high-grade potion I had ever concocted under Professor Snape's teachings. Jon calmly explained:
"After feeding Barty Crouch Jr., I got an amazing plan out of his mouth. The Goblet of Fire is actually a portkey that leads to a tomb where he will send Harry Potter, the winner of the Triwizard Tournament, to resurrect the mysterious man with Harry's blood. ”
"Voldemort...... Proper ......" Dumbledore frowned.
"You're strong enough to be fearless!" Jon smiled and gave Dumbledore an apologetic look, "But I'm sorry, I don't think I'm qualified to do so." ”
"And then?" Dumbledore did not continue to correct Jon's salutation.
Jon picked up a silver mouse on the table, played with it, and said casually:
"Then I realized something bad was wrong with me...... Because I knew from little Barty Crouch that apart from him, the other mastermind of the whole project was Peter Pedirou, and Mr. Pediroux ......"
As he spoke, Jon placed the silver rat back on the table.
"So, I know that if I don't continue this operation, it might ruin your big deal!" Jon said with a smile, "So...... I don't know if I'm doing the right thing!"
At this moment, Jon felt Dumbledore's blue eyes staring at him.
He lowered his head, reached out and teased Fawkes, who was only the size of a fist.
