Chapter 505: The Future of the Order of the Phoenix (Part II)
There is no doubt that Jon Hart's words caused an uproar in an instant.
Professor Albus-Dumbledore's prestige is still very high, and there is no doubt about the witches and wizards of the Order of the Phoenix in this room, so it is difficult for them to accept Jon's "criticism" or even "slander" against Dumbledore.
"Don't forget, Dumbledore led our Order of the Phoenix, but defeated the Death Eaters and the Mysteries!" Alasto-Moody said in a gruff voice, looking a little angry from his voice.
"I'm not denying what Professor Dumbledore meant. Jon said matter-of-factly, "But he's not a saint after all, so he can't help but have some things that he doesn't think through...... I'm just making a small observation. ”
The meaning of this sentence is obviously much more relaxed, and it also calms down the "public anger" a little.
The witches and wizards in the audience were all focused on Jon to see what the boy had to say.
"As I mentioned earlier, two years ago, when Voldemort had just returned to England...... Jon described calmly, while he also glanced at Harry Potter in passing:
"We should have the absolute advantage, because we were in control of the news of Voldemort's return in the first place, and we also controlled the list of the most central group of Death Eaters...... But in the conflict with the Ministry of Magic, we spent so much time that we ceded our absolute superiority to the Death Eaters. ”
Kingsley Shacklele frowned slightly, then exchanged glances with Remus Lupin beside him.
Jon paused, glanced at everyone, and then continued, "I think there is no doubt that the Order of the Phoenix's actions are just, and that the Order of the Phoenix's motives are noble...... The Death Eaters are afraid of us, and rightly so, and the Ministry of Magic is afraid of us, it's just a villain's speculation......"
“...... Because of this, I think Professor Dumbledore is lacking in the construction of the Order of the Phoenix......"
A smile twitched at Jon's lips before he continued, "We are an organization that is inherently righteous, and in a sense, everyone here, with the exception of me, is a hero in the wizarding world......
"Take the Mad-Eye, for example!" Jon looked at the Mad-Eye-Moody, "A year ago at the Ministry of Magic, it was you who inflicted a heavy blow on Voldemort that discouraged the arrogance of the Death Eaters...... There aren't many wizards who can hurt Voldemort, and you're one of them. ”
Moody looked a little embarrassed by Jon's praise and touched his head with his scarred hand.
"And Remus......" Jon continued, but this time he looked at Remus-Lupin, "You took great risks to break into the werewolves, and lived day and night with those horrible beasts to protect the lives of wizards and Muggles......"
Lupin took a slight breath and could see that his emotions were not as calm as the expression on his face.
"And Mr. Black......" Jon finally turned his gaze to Siris-Black, "Even after years of misunderstanding by the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding world, you still silently guard your godson, even if the soul may be sucked by the Dementors at any time...... At the very least, Azkaban should wash away your grievances. ”
"I just do what I'm supposed to do. Siris Black muttered, then glanced at Harry Potter.
......
“...... As I just said. Jon continued, "You are heroes, and the Order of the Phoenix is heroes...... Heroes should not be obscure, at least let the wizarding world know who has been watching over them under the nightmare of the Death Eaters, and at least heroes should tell the whole world about their deeds. ”
There was a little commotion among the wizards here.
It can be seen that some people are excited, some are hesitant, and some are deep in thought......
"Imagine if two years ago, the entire wizarding world knew about the sacrifices and efforts made by the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War (the first war against Voldemort). Jon's voice grew deeper, "And when Dumbledore opened his mouth to warn the wizarding world and Voldemort to return again, could Fudge and his Ministry of Magic still slander him like that?"
“...... And at the same time, if the Order of the Phoenix, with its heroic aura, openly points out which Death Eaters have defected to Voldemort again, can they still infiltrate the Ministry of Magic in broad daylight?"
"So, only by removing part of the mystery of the Order of the Phoenix, only by letting the entire wizarding world understand the nature of the Order of the Phoenix, when Voldemort returns again, will they believe in us, and we will take the initiative. ”
As Jon finished speaking, the Burrow's living room fell into a brief silence.
After a few moments, Kingsley Shackel spoke softly, his voice a little unnatural: "The reason why Dumbledore kept the Order of the Phoenix hidden in the shadows was to keep the mysterious man from knowing our true identity...... So that we don't put us in danger, or the Death Eaters will murder us at any time......"
"Of course, I know Professor Dumbledore must have a point. Jon smiled and replied, "But sometimes, when the light appears, it is safer to hide in the darkness......"
"So what do you mean......" Mad-Eye Moody pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it a bit of a misconsideration that you want the entire Order of the Phoenix to be exposed?"
"Of course not. Jon shook his head: "Some of the members of the Order of the Phoenix who are hidden in the shadows still have to exist and remain hidden, but there are also some people who take the initiative to stand up and let the whole wizarding world know about our ......"
"And what are you going to do, Jon?" Harry Potter said busily, looking a little agitated about what Jon had just said.
"It's very simple propaganda!" Jon explained calmly, "We can do the same to how the Ministry of Magic slandered Professor Dumbledore and you, but what we say will be the truth, not a lie." ”
"Through 'Contradiction'?" Harry looked geared up, "I can help with this, I know its editor-in-chief...... It's Luna's father......"
"Uh...... You can consider ......" Jon couldn't help but pout, "I have a better choice, though......"
"Recently, there was a journalist who was trying to get me in trouble...... I think I can use her to promote the Order of the Phoenix!" Jon smiled and said, "Of course, I'll have to get Miss Granger to help me first......"
