Jon had no intention of finding trouble with the Black Wizard. He was not an idiot.
Perhaps he had left a bad impression on Dumbledore when he killed someone, but with Helga around, he did not have to worry about Dumbledore interfering with his affairs. However, Jon did not expect Dumbledore to cooperate with his plan.
Although the starting point of the two were completely different, he did not expect that they would be satisfied with the same method.
Moreover, Jon felt that Dumbledore's idea should be different from his.
After all, there was a difference in information between the two of them.
Dumbledore should not know that the entire world's magical environment had returned to normal. People who lived in a strong magical environment like Castle Hogwarts for many years would not be very aware of this matter. After all, even now, the overall magical environment had not returned to the level of Hogwarts.
Jon's intention was very clear. In the application to the Ministry of Magic, he had pointed out that he wanted to create a literary work that would become a household name. Dumbledore should be very clear about the use of such a work, or at least he should be able to see it clearly.
Exposing the Wizard to Muggle's sight, or normalizing the Wizard's mystery, was a good thing for the Wizard world. After all, the secret law had been maintained for so long that it was beginning to be unsuitable for the current Wizard world. Dumbledore should be able to see this clearly.
Jon's plan was actually much simpler.
He had seen the popularity and influence of this work. Many years after this work became popular, there were many people who dressed up as Wizard on the streets, and the ordinary people did not find it strange. This was a kind of improvement.
It increased the acceptance of the ordinary people of the magical world. With the return of the magical world, the possibility of a Wizard appearing in Muggle would increase. Ten or twenty years was not a long time at all.
As for the specific details, he would discuss it with Dumbledore in detail when he returned to school.
This was the solution he found for himself. If he didn't want to become a tool to be manipulated, then he had to use his current advantages, background, and understanding of the future to become one of the players in this game before it began.
It had nothing to do with strength, but he believed that he had the qualifications to become one of the players.
…
Jon sat on the train to Scotland, flipping through a magazine in boredom.
This time, he was going to Scotland's Trossas National Forest. Under the circumstances that the Forbidden Forest could not be entered, this ancient forest ruins closest to the Forbidden Forest became Jon's choice.
He wanted to find something. According to Helga, there were some herbs in this forest that could be used to replace the two key ingredients of the Bloodline Purification Potion that had not been released yet. Anyway, he could roughly come up with a simplified version of the potion formula. As the authority of herbology, Jon would definitely not have any problems with Helga's guidance.
Originally, there was no need to go through so much trouble, but until now, Jon had no way to casually go into the Forbidden Forest. Those places with precious herbs were not as easy to enter as Jon had thought before. The difficulty level was generally comparable to trimming a unicorn's fur.
Professor Sprout could go and collect them, but those precious herbs did not grow easily. No matter how much Professor Sprout thought highly of Jon, he would not go and collect those herbs for him.
So Jon could only rely on himself.
However, since Trossas had many precious herbs, there were naturally some Wizard who lived here.
They were all old fellows who had lived for many years. They lived here in seclusion to prolong their last breaths, trying to live a little longer.
Jon did not think that this was a good thing. A Wizard's life was much longer than a normal person's. It was fine if they were not at the brink of death, but since they were already at the brink of death, why would they drag on and not die?
If they had the ability to create the Elixir of Immortality like Nico Le May, it would be fine. However, if they did not have the ability, they would still occupy the resources to prolong their lives. This was unreasonable in itself.
And coincidentally, if it did not involve his own safety, Jon was a person who liked to follow rules and principles to a certain extent.
This was how serious the matter was.
For example, he had never cared that the Hogwarts did not allow nighttime activities. He also did not care that magic was not allowed outside the school.
"Actually, I'm just a little selfish."
If it was not for the fact that he wanted to go there to look for herbs, he probably would not have cared about the situation there for the rest of his life.
How many old fellows were occupying the space had nothing to do with him, and it did not affect him.
But now, it affected him, so he felt that those old fellows were occupying the space.
In the end, it was his own selfishness that was causing trouble.
Jon laughed self-deprecatingly. He admitted that he was a selfish person, but who in this world was not a selfish person?
Even Dumbledore was not perfect. Helga also extracted a thousand years' worth of magic from the Hogwarts to maintain her existence.
Everyone was a selfish person, and no one had to deny this point.
It was just that sometimes, when two people met, the degree of selfishness could also be determined.
When facing some people, Jon even felt that he was a saint.
However, Jon liked to think a lot, and this gave him an advantage. He could do some things with the least cost and get the best results.
This was the advantage. He had heard people say that thinking too much would eventually hurt oneself. So recently, he decided to stop, put aside those messy things, and have a good rest.
Thinking too much would make one tired easily. Continuous thinking, deduction, and calculation would eventually make one unable to bear the burden and collapse.
This was not a sustainable path.
So, he made a small vacation plan.
The environment of Telosas Park was not bad. It was very suitable for relaxing, for thinking about the world, and for looking up at the stars.
Jon knew that the world was full of wonders.
He had seen the birth of the world, but he did not know how the world appeared. The seed of the big tree suddenly appeared, and then the world appeared. Jon was in the middle of it and could not see it clearly.
He did not know the true face of Mount Lu because he was in the mountain.
He did not know if his past was real because he could not see it clearly. He also did not know what his future would be like. It was interesting to say that he knew what other people's future might be like, but he did not know what his own future would be like.
It was too tiring to think, so it was better not to think.
So, at dusk, he lay on the recliner of the vacation villa, enjoying the wind and looking at the cloudless sky.
He was so tired.
