"What's wrong? Did something happen? "
Stephen asked nervously when he saw that Jon's face suddenly sank after he opened the letter. He thought that something had happened.
"Nothing, it's about my family's company."
Jon folded the letter expressionlessly and stuffed it back into the envelope. Then, he kept the letter close to him.
Mr. Smith was very meticulous in handling matters. After he finished the call with Secretary Jin, he directly called Anthony's house.
Therefore, this letter was very detailed. Anthony's symptoms were personally described by Laura. Mr. Smith was also a member of the Wizard's world. Even if he didn't know what kind of magic Anthony was under, he knew the seriousness of the matter.
Jon was even more aware of the seriousness of the matter. He used a fake identity when he went to America, but he didn't use it in the country. When he killed people, he considered the safety of his family. Later, when he saw that his grandmother still had a lot of power in the Ministry of Magic, he was slightly relieved. As a result, his family was safe, but his subordinates began to have problems.
Were those Black Wizard's in America crazy? Did they do something to ordinary people?
Jon was of course anxious, but he knew that he was the target of the Black Wizard. Those Black Wizards didn't dare to enter the United Kingdom, so they wanted to lead him to America.
He wasn't stupid. Not to mention that he couldn't leave the school now, even if he could move freely, he wouldn't go to America at this time.
Wouldn't it be like a sheep in a tiger's den?
He needed to find help for this matter.
If Dumbledore could help …
Forget it, let's take it slow.
Jon's face was dark as he began to eat breakfast.
He didn't expect that before he started to prepare to do something, things would come to him first.
…
Stephen knew that something must have happened.
And it wasn't a small matter.
Because Jon's face didn't smile all day, as if someone stole his money. There was a low pressure around him that couldn't be offended.
Something big must have happened.
But Jon didn't say, so he couldn't ask. He was also very busy and didn't have time to care about Jon's mood.
He believed that Jon could solve this problem by himself.
…
Of course, Jon could solve this problem.
At night, in the principal's office on the eighth floor.
According to Dumbledore's invitation, Jon's arrival was not unexpected.
However, he was still polite.
"Now that you're here, it's not unexpected, is it, Professor Dumbledore?"
"Of course, I'm prepared. Take a seat."
Dumbledore gestured for Jon to sit down.
"Aren't you in a good mood?"
Dumbledore's eyes, which were hidden behind his glasses, curved as he pushed a plate of desserts over with a smile.
"Eating something sweet will help to soothe your mood."
"Thank you, but I'll pass. I think an indifferent attitude will help our conversation."
"Of course, as you wish."
Dumbledore retracted his hand and knocked on the table.
The magic circle in the principal's office opened, and the sparse magic energy seemed to be connected by some kind of force. Flying frames crisscrossed in the air, connecting and connecting, and circling around Jon and Dumbledore.
Jon reached out and touched it. With the touch of his finger, the invisible barrier made a crisp sound like a wind chime, echoing far away and lingering in the air.
"Professor Dumbledore, what's this?"
"Hogwarts' protection of the principal's office. After all, there are too many confidential information stored here. It would be bad if someone stole or destroyed it. Of course, this is only a part of it. It can protect our conversation from being heard. If someone approaches at this time, the barrier will make the same sound as before. It's very convenient, isn't it?"
Jon nodded.
This thing was indeed convenient. When Helga woke up, he should make one in his manor.
"But you didn't go through so much trouble to open this barrier just to talk nonsense with me, right?"
Jon was in a bad mood, so his tone was less tactful. Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't mind.
"Well, since you're so direct, let's get to the point."
Since Jon was well aware of his intentions, he must have thought about it beforehand.
"I hope Mr. Smith can do me a favor."
Dumbledore paused for a moment and looked up at Jon, but Jon didn't respond.
"Protect Harry Potter?"
Jon smiled and looked at Dumbledore's surprised eyes. He said indifferently, "You know my grandmother's identity, so it's not difficult for her to know some things. Besides, I have Ancestor Helga to help me find out. In fact, I know more about Voldemort than you think."
He looked back at the portrait at the door. It was a portrait of Helga, not the real person. When he saw Jon looking at him, he smiled and nodded.
"Well, yes, but not the kind of protection you think." Dumbledore began to adapt to Jon's direct frequency and maturity. Of course, he personally admired this kind of maturity. If Harry could be as mature as Mr. Smith, he wouldn't have to bother adjusting the frequency of various things. "We can't let Mr. Potter be protected like a chick, but we can't tell him everything directly. There needs to be a process of adaptation."
"A process of adaptation?"
Jon nodded to show that he understood. Wasn't it to let Harry gradually become a little more mature so that he wouldn't rush to Voldemort with his wand when he heard about it? So he said, "I understand. In fact, this matter won't be difficult for me. I'm sure you've already made a plan, right?"
"Of course I have a plan, but it's just a framework. Perhaps Mr. Smith can add some security to this plan? I heard from Helga and Pomona that you're a very smart person. "
"Of course, but you can just call me Jon. That's what the elders in my family call me."
Jon smiled. Wasn't this similar to his original plan?
But he didn't agree directly. After all, there was still a lot of time and a lot of things to do.
He needed to discuss this matter properly and talk to the kind Legendary Wizard in front of him about everyone's bottom line.
This was a win-win situation, wasn't it?
Since it was a win-win situation, it was now his turn to state his conditions.
"I think I should be able to do this task. In fact, I already have a few good ideas in my mind. But before that, I have a few things to discuss with you."
