"Jon, I'm your dean."
"Yes, I know."
"Other than your friends, I know you the best in this school. Jon, this is not your style. Since when did you become so willing to help others?"
Professor Sprout was not accusing Jon of anything. She was just stating the truth.
In fact, Jon was a person who would not act until he saw the hare. If there were no benefits to be had, Jon would not have done it.
For example, the founding of the Hufflepuff Magic Research Society. At first, she really thought that Jon wanted to improve the learning atmosphere of the whole school. Later, she found out that Jon had mastered too many spells and could not explain the reason, so he came up with a way to create this society. The original intention was to cover up the fact that his spells appeared too many times. Professor Sprout did not know this before, but after such a long time, plus the incident with Professor Flick and the fact that Dumbledore asked Jon to deal with the black Wizard, the witch understood the cause and effect.
So this time, Professor Sprout could not help but think more about it.
"Professor, you misunderstood me."
Jon smiled helplessly. "I really don't have any other thoughts about this matter."
"Forget it, it's done. There's no need to dwell on it."
Professor Sprout put away the manuscript. After busying herself for a long time, she stared at the young man in front of her with a serious expression.
After a long silence, she said in a serious tone, "What brings you here this time?
I heard from Sophia that you let that child, Stephen, pick people from the society. I don't know what you're planning to do. I know that you're a fast learner, but you have to be more mature. I think Stephen is very good. His studies haven't been delayed. What about you?
I heard from Dumbledore that you're already a fifth-grade student. I've been in Hogwarts for so many years, and it's not like I haven't seen students with fast progress. Speaking of which, since you've learned so much, have you chosen the content you're going to study in the future? "
"Huh?"
Jon was stunned. He didn't know why Professor Sprout suddenly mentioned this.
"You have to plan for the future. Although the school is a place for learning, there are many bad things in the school over the years. I've been guarding Hufflepuff for so many years because I'm afraid of getting into trouble. You know this, right?"
Jon nodded. Of course, he knew that Professor Sprout had put in a lot of effort all these years. That was why when Voldemort started the first war, most of the Wizard from Hufflepuff were from Muggle, but not many of them died. The main targets were the Gryffindors from Dumbledore's faction.
"However, I'm already prepared. I plan to continue researching the content of mythological civilizations."
"Mythological civilization? Why would you want to study this? "
"Probably because of his family background?"
Jon couldn't explain the reason behind this. If he did, it would be a long story, and Jon found it annoying to say it himself.
"Professor, you don't have to worry about this. Actually, I'm here today for something."
Professor Sprout had a look of understanding on her face. "I knew it. Tell me."
"Two days ago, I made an agreement with Professor Dumbledore to assist in the protection of Harry Potter. I'm sure you know about this, Professor."
Jon more or less knew about the system between the Principal and the Deans. Anything related to Voldemort was never a small matter. Dumbledore should have informed Professor Sprout about Jon's plan.
However, from Professor Sprout's words, she didn't know the details of the plan. She should have received instructions from Dumbledore to give Jon the green light.
"In this agreement, I promised Professor Dumbledore to pick some people from our society to look after Mr. Potter's safety and record his words and actions. I asked Stephen to pick some people from the society to do this. However, they often appear around Mr. Potter and his gang, and sooner or later, they will attract attention. So, I'm here to ask for your help, Professor."
"You mean, you want me to help you? How? Tell me. "
"I know you're good at herbology, Professor, but you're also very outstanding in other aspects, especially concealment magic …"
"You want me to teach those students concealment magic?"
Jon shook his head and explained, "No, I hope that Professor can cast a spell on those students. The students selected this time will not be safe in the future. Although I've already made preparations for their safety, the situation is different now. That … mysterious person is back. We have to be fully prepared."
"Of course, I know. Since you said so, I'll help you … Although this isn't the safest way, there's no other way now."
Professor Sprout sighed and turned to remind him, "But you have to be careful. This school has different faculties and factions, so you have to be careful. It's best not to get too involved in some things.
Take Gryffindor and Slythrin for example. The former has been under Dumbledore's adjustment for so many years, and has long been an iron plate. As for Slythrin … Even though Professor Snape has been secretly adjusting for so many years, he still can't change the traditions that have been accumulated for so many years.
If you put these two faculties together, they will conflict with each other and backfire on you. Not only will your plan be difficult to execute, even you will face the same situation. It's true that you're very powerful compared to your peers, but since you don't want to stay in the second year peacefully, then you can't avoid facing people who are much stronger than you. "
"These … Professor, I know."
Jon paused for a while and said in a deep voice.
"It's good that you know. Oh, right, take this."
Professor Sprout pulled out a parchment scroll from the drawer.
"This is a method to practice magic. It's not very valuable, but it's the best for building your foundation."
The witch placed the parchment scroll in front of Jon. "Take it back and practice it well. Don't be greedy for quick progress. Your foundation is the most important. Don't be greedy for small gains and lose big gains."
"Thank you for your concern, Professor."
Jon looked at Professor Sprout. His expression was still indifferent, but his heart was warm.
Everyone said that Professor Sprout was biased towards his students. Jon felt that this was a good thing.
