Was that a good thing?
Jon didn't know how to answer. The answer to this question was as hard to figure out as the flavor of the Flavored Bean. Especially when Perenal followed up with another sentence.
"Do you think that some people think that as long as they can live on, it's understandable even if they do something more evil than the Devil?"
How was he supposed to answer this?
Who was she talking about?
Voldemort? Or herself?
Most importantly, Jon was actually thinking about this question.
Being in Perenal's resonance, he couldn't help but think according to Perenal's thoughts.
When a person was thinking, their eyes were often unguarded. Thus, before Jon spoke, Perenal already knew his answer.
… …
"Then I'll take my leave first. I'll come again next weekend."
Jon put the box into his robe's pocket and bowed slightly before leaving the shop.
Inside the shop, Mr. Lemay stopped what he was doing and turned to look at his wife.
"Why are you saying so much to a child? Even if he's Hufflepuff's descendant, there's no need to do so much, right? Furthermore, the significance of that watch is different. That was made for you as a souvenir after the death of our Ye Qi. "
"What's the point of commemorating someone who's about to die?"
Perenal calmed down and softly said,
"That child is a different existence."
“？”
In the silence, Mr. Le Mer was stunned. He clearly didn't understand what his wife was saying.
"What are you saying? Why can't I see it? "
"You can't see it, or you don't pay attention? You're so focused on your timepiece that you don't pay attention to what you don't want to pay attention to. "
Perenal chuckled as he took a look at the pocket watch on his neck. Then, he took it off his neck.
"This child has a lot of secrets. He has a mysterious power that I can't see. I even think that he had a brush with death before. This child has been closer to death than you and me. He understands what death looks like."
Mr. Lemay was silent.
The reason why the couple used the Elixir of Immortality was because they retreated in the face of death. Until now, after more than six hundred years of life, they finally began to want an end.
But just like what Perrenal said, they had seen countless people and Wizard in their long lives. There were plenty of powerful beings, but this was the first time they saw someone like Jon.
Because …
"He doesn't take death seriously."
Perrenal thought for a moment and concluded, "It's like how he can turn a blind eye to death because he has nothing to fear. But even after facing death head-on, he doesn't change at all."
"And most importantly, Nicole, look at this."
The witch handed the pocket watch around her neck to her husband. Mr. Lemay flipped open the cover with one hand, and the hands inside were still moving.
"What's wrong? Isn't this fine? "
"Of course there are changes."
Perenal took out the most intricate clock and gave it to her husband for comparison.
Nicole Lemay carefully looked at the pocket watch in her hand and the clock in front of her twice, and finally found the problem.
The hands of the pocket watch in her hand were a beat slower.
However, he knew very well what he made. Unless magic disappeared from this world, the only thing that could slow down a pocket watch that was enchanted with absolute precision magic could only be affected by some kind of influence.
"What is it?"
Mr. Lemay looked at his wife. He didn't observe Jon, so naturally, he didn't know what the reason was.
"It's what we need the most right now."
…
After staying in the clock shop for a long time, Jon took advantage of the night to return to school. He strolled outside the castle for a while, and when it was past nine, he closed the box in his hand and no longer looked at the transparent pocket watch.
According to Mrs. Lemay, this pocket watch had an extremely magical ability. If a ghost's magic energy was poured into this pocket watch, it would cause an irreversible change. It would turn from substance to nothingness. But as for what it was exactly, it would depend on the situation.
The fat monk wasn't in the castle tonight. Jon looked at the map of the survival point in his hand. The fat monk's location appeared on the map.
Because of Jon's invitation, the fat monk didn't rest in the lounge tonight. Instead, he waited for Jon in the space outside Hufflepuff's castle.
In fact, this ghost seemed to have known Jon's identity long ago. Perhaps it was through the portrait, or perhaps it was something else. The ghosts of Hogwarts had their own channels of information, so it wasn't strange for them to know anything.
What's more, only normal people knew Jon's identity. The portraits of the Hogwarts principals were distributed throughout the school, so naturally some information would spread.
However, when Jon found out about this matter, it was already very late. He only found out about it when he heard about it from the other principals in Professor Sprout's office.
Without Helga's mediation, these things were treated as a normal topic by the portraits. Indeed, apart from Liddell, the descendants of the four founders hadn't appeared in the Hogwarts for a long time.
Many principals hadn't even seen a real descendant of the founders.
Therefore, this matter spread very quickly. When Jon found out, it was obvious that all the Hogwarts except for the living knew about it.
There were pros and cons to this matter. At least these portraits controlled almost 90% of the secret passageways and intersections in the school, and most of the ghosts would change their attitude towards him.
It was worth mentioning that Professor Mag still didn't know about this matter. It seemed that Dumbledore deliberately separated the two matters. This was also what Jon wanted. At least he didn't want to have too much interaction with Gryffindor.
The cons were also obvious. Although the fat monk, Runcilla, was known to be a good person in Hufflepuff, he was unexpectedly strict when Jon found him.
Perhaps he sincerely wanted to test Jon, the descendant of the founders.
That was why he chose a small defensive space outside of Hufflepuff Academy's castle. Even with the map in hand, Chao En searched for a long time.
When the name of this ghost appeared on the map, Jon heaved a sigh of relief.
He sighed, "The moonlight today is also very noisy."
