Chapter 490: It's an Illusion

"Excuse me, be still!" Jon Hart exclaimed, standing beside the white marble tomb.

After a brief moment of chaos, the venue became a little quieter, though still a little noisy—

The teachers and students of Hogwarts, the wizards and wizards who came to visit him, and the officials of various magical departments...... Although they had not yet recovered from the shock just now, they all began to look at the young man with interest as the other party said this.

"Is this a joke......

"This kid ...... Not even an adult?"

"McGonagall said he would be the new Headmaster of Hogwarts?"

They were chattering at the same time.

Jon didn't expect much of an effect from his words, and he wasn't surprised by the situation that was happening.

"I know you're all surprised right now!" he said in an unhurried tone, but with the right amount to reach everyone present, "I know that many of you are wondering why I would be a 'milky' kid in this important role......

The noisy sound suddenly became a little quieter.

Many wizards began to listen to the big boy's speech.

“...... To be honest, I was surprised when I first heard the news!" Jon shrugged his shoulders and continued, "I've had the same questions as you, even more ...... you."

“...... Professor Albus Dumbledore told me that Hogwarts had decided that I would be the next Headmaster...... My first reaction was, "Why should I be, Professor, would you like to invite someone else?" but Professor Dumbledore told me that this was Hogwarts' choice and that no one could change it, including him......"

As he spoke, Jon raised his emerald bamboo wand with his right hand and tapped it on his forehead—

Wisps of silver flocculent began to flow slowly down his temples, and at the same time, under his manipulation, the floc slowly flew to his left hand, and in his left hand, he seemed to grasp a small box that radiated a quaint light......

"What the hell is he doing?" many wizards wondered at this time.

Soon, though, they seemed to understand.

I saw Jon next to the white marble tomb, with a slight wave of his wand, and then his left hand instantly emitted an extremely strong light-

Everyone present couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands at this time.

In order to adapt to this bright light.

......

And as the bright light gradually dissipates—

"What are we?" exclaimed Amelia Burns, Minister for Magic.

"What kind of magic is this?" Rufus-Scrimgeur, who was next to Minister Bones, grabbed his wand with his hand a little nervously, while looking around warily.

It wasn't just the two high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic who expressed their surprise.

Because it was Albus Dumbledore's funeral, there were many well-known wizards in the wizarding world present, but almost no one saw what kind of magic it was for the first time.

"Don't be nervous, everyone!" Jon Hart's slightly lazy voice rang in their ears, "It's just an illusion, and in fact it won't do you any harm......"

Yes, many people immediately reacted that everything around them was nothing but an illusion and was false.

They were now "in" in a strange space, almost pitch black around them, and the starry sky could be clearly visible overhead......

"It seems to be...... The top floor of Hogwarts Castle?" Professor Minerva-McGonagall was the first to react.

Most of the wizards present here have studied at Hogwarts or are Hogwarts teachers and students...... Soon they were able to confirm their surroundings through the faint light in the starry sky......

They are indeed on the very top floor of the castle "in" Hogwarts.

At the same time, there were two stone tablets, one large and one small, as well as two wizards, one old and one young.

"It's Dumbledore!"

"And one more ...... Isn't that Hart?"

"He looks a little shorter than he is now!"

"The vision before your eyes...... It happened a year ago. Jon replied calmly, "It's on the top floor of Hogwarts Castle...... It was the first time I heard from Professor Dumbledore that I would be Headmaster of Hogwarts. ”

As Jon said. Dumbledore in the illusion, with him in the illusion, introduced the contents of the two stone tablets...... An introduction to the legacy magic of Hogwarts...... Explains how the castle chooses wizards......

When everyone was in shock, after watching all this-

“...... In fact, it is!" Jon clapped his hands, and all the visions in front of him disappeared in an instant, and thousands of wizards returned to the white tomb of Albus Dumbledore on the shores of Hogsmeade.

Jon continued, "In this confusion, I became the next Headmaster of Hogwarts...... I thought we would have to wait a long time and there was still plenty of room to grow, but no one would have expected that Professor Dumbledore would make this choice and leave us like this......"

"To be honest, I'm a little overwhelmed right now...... But since I made a promise to Professor Dumbledore, since I was chosen by Hogwarts, then I can only fulfill my duty......" Jon Hart's voice grew undeniable.

......

The witches and wizards present did not seem to have woken up from their shock.

It's not just in the illusion that everything is shown to them......

Also, the powerful magic that the young man used just now.

He was able to show everyone the content of his memory so lightly...... And the content is so lifelike that there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Wizards here, ask yourself, almost no one can do this!

And you know, he's not even seventeen years old......

The stunned gaze remained, but the contemptuous and mocking gaze had almost completely disappeared.

Jon...... It's so powerful!" Harry Potter recovered from his shock and muttered, "No wonder...... No wonder Professor Dumbledore sent him to take us to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes......"

"Grandpa?" Rove Scamander, a fourth-year Hufflepuff student, looked at his grandfather with some surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

The elderly Newt Scamander shook his head slightly, and he was sitting in an inconspicuous corner with his grandson.

He was surprised, for it wasn't the first time he had seen the magic.

And the last time I saw this magic...... It was a long, long time ago, in Paris......

And the person who used it was called Gellert Grindelwald!
