This was not the first time Jon had heard of this organization called MI0.
Not long ago, he had just heard from Lohat that this was a special department of the Muggle government that was in charge of magical matters. It was a highly secretive organization under the SIS. He did not expect to meet them here.
"But I'm no longer working for MI0. I'm now working as a secretary for the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. After this holiday is over, I'll be working as a teaching assistant at the University of Manchester. Speaking of which, it's a coincidence that I just received the acceptance notice this morning."
Joanne seemed to like Jon very much. Béla watched from the side for a while and stopped talking. She quietly read her book.
"Oh? Is that so? That is not bad. "
Jon seemed to have thought of something. He smiled stiffly and lowered his head to take off his glasses and gently wiped them on his clothes.
If he remembered correctly, last night was the night when Lohat resigned from his teaching assistant job.
This was not a coincidence. The University of Manchester was not a school that lacked teaching assistants. It was nothing more than a teaching assistant who resigned and found a more suitable one to replace her. If it was really a coincidence, then it could only be said that fate made fools of people.
"But when you left, didn't you go through... that erase? To be honest, I am quite surprised that you recognized me. "
Jon remembered very clearly that Lohat mentioned that these MI0 investigators would be erased after their resignation to prevent confidential information from being leaked.
But it was indeed a little rude to ask such a question so rashly.
Fortunately, Joanne did not mind this matter. She smiled gently and said, "Of course, I am still an investigator of MI0. It is just that due to some personal reasons, I have temporarily resigned. But I am still a member of MI0. As long as I finish my work here, I will still return to work in MI0."
"Oh."
Jon nodded, "So, the meeting between you and my mother two years ago was to deal with... our work?"
"To be precise, I went to Portugal to retrieve a relatively old prophecy. Then, I needed to pass it to your mother. Coincidentally, your mother was nearby, so I passed it to her directly."
"Is it okay to tell me this directly? I thought your job was confidential. "
Joanne laughed silently. "Of course, but I didn't tell you the content of the prophecy, did I? It's not against the rules to say this. After all, it's not something important. Besides, weren't you there at the time? Since your mother didn't avoid you, then there's no problem. "
Joanne glanced at Béla as she spoke, and the latter made an expression that said, "I didn't hear anything."
Anyway, it was not a big deal. Since everyone was willing to cooperate, there were no other problems.
"But it's really a coincidence to meet you here. Are you going to London?"
"Yes, there's nothing much going on recently. My boyfriend and I plan to have a good holiday."
Perhaps it was because she got along well with Jon, Joanne also opened up her chatterbox, and the two of them gradually warmed up to each other.
Béla was naturally very observant. She quietly maintained the identity of a bystander, and at the same time, helped the two of them monitor the surrounding situation.
Fortunately, there were not many people around. The travel train was relatively long, and many people were traveling by themselves. At this time, they began to feel sleepy. In addition, Jon and Joanne's voice was not very loud, so they did not have to worry about anyone hearing them.
And in just a while, Joanne was already talking about her future plans to Jon.
It was not that Joanne was easily trusting others. Jon saw the shining light in this lady's eyes, and he knew that this special investigator had been holding back for too long.
After leaving MI0, she basically did not meet the Wizard. Those secrets were sealed in her heart. Joanne had been holding back for too long.
It was rare to meet someone who could say these words, so naturally, she couldn't control her desire to express.
Moreover, in Joanne's heart, Jon did have a special meaning.
"Hmm?"
Jon unexpectedly raised his tone and asked aloud, "Why do you say that?"
"I don't know if I can say this, but it should be fine."
Jon put on a look of listening attentively. Béla on the side also quietly pricked up her ears while flipping through the book.
"In fact, I have always liked fantasy and writing when I was young. Later, I tried to write a little fairy tale and magical fantasy stories. However, my stories may not be good enough. No editor of the publishing house has ever expressed interest in them. Later, I began to think that I didn't have the talent in this area."
Jon nodded. This was a very cliché beginning. Most writers in the world were like this. They would inevitably experience a difficult period.
After all, no one was born a talented genius. How could there be a writer who could become popular overnight without going through hardships?
"Later, when I was in university, I joined related clubs because of my curiosity about the fantasy world. Later, I was gradually absorbed into the periphery of MI0. After a period of inspection and training, I became a special investigator and began to perform tasks. However, I never gave up on my dream."
"Later, after I graduated from university, I gradually began to reduce my work in MI0. I was ready to start writing my own works again, but I haven't found the material."
"Two years ago, when I met you, I thought of a wonderful theme."
Joanne's eyes flashed, but her words made Jon's mind shake.
"I know almost the entire European system, schools, history, and all the content that has been recorded in MI0. I know or will know in the future. So why can't I write a story with Wizard's story as the material?"
"I think this is a great idea. I personally support you. If you have any financial or life difficulties, maybe you can come to me."
Jon didn't lack this money. He still had a lot of property in the Muggle world. Not to mention sponsoring one writer, he could even sponsor 10 writers.
However, why is the name Joanne so familiar?
He couldn't remember where he heard it, but this name kept echoing in his mind. Especially after hearing her experience, this name gradually stopped at a position.
"Um, sorry to ask, what is your name?"
"Oh, I'm so rude."
Joanne also realized that she had not said her name. This behavior was indeed impolite.
"My full name is.
Joanne Catherine Rowling. "
