Jon had been doing too much of a hands-off job recently.
So much so that everything was handed over to Stephen to do. Those things that should have been done by him suddenly felt a little strange.
"I never thought that I would still need to do homework when I have already studied to this extent."
Sitting in front of his desk, Jon was writing at a rapid pace. He had been busy doing so much work recently, but for a student, the most important homework, he had not done at all.
"It has been half a month since school started. You are not paying attention in class every day. You are busy with other things over there. The teachers are already giving you face by not exposing you."
"What do I have to be exposed for? Although I don't pay attention in class, I know everything. "
Jon was a typical Chinese scholar when it came to studying. But in Hogwarts, no matter how good one was at studying, one still had to pay attention in class. At the very least, one had to hand in their homework.
Otherwise, they would really not get any grades.
So, Jon could only obediently finish his homework like he was doing now. Then, he could go back to work on his own things.
What Stephen wanted to talk to him about was, of course, not about his studies. He was reporting some of the changes that had happened in the past few days.
"Don't worry too much about these. It's just a small matter. It's not a big deal. Just do our arrangements well. There's no need to insist on a perfect result... f * * k."
Jon raised his magic wand to erase the content that he had just written. Recently, he had been more focused on doing things. He had not used his multitasking ability for too long, so he was a little rusty.
"Okay, then I know what to do. I will take care of these things."
Stephen put away his work and began to talk about personal matters.
"When are you moving out?"
"Moving out? Wait. Although I think moving out is not a problem, Dumbledore will not let me leave so easily. He will definitely drag it out for a while. "
"In fact, I also think it is too conspicuous. There is really no need. If you go out now and you are targeted, we can't help you."
"Targeted by who? Quirrell? "
Jon didn't even look up. "Don't worry, he's not in the mood to keep an eye on me. Harry is so well protected by Dumbledore that he can't even find a chance to make a move. Besides, besides Harry, he's still looking for the Philosopher's Stone. When he realizes that he can't kill Harry and can't get the Philosopher's Stone in a short time, his attention will shift to everyone. By then, I really won't be able to get out."
"I'm not talking about that. I'm just lamenting that your behavior is not good. You moving out is already a very obvious thing in everyone's eyes. The so-called removal from social media is just a perfunctory operation. The seniors in the upper grade have never relaxed their attention to you at all. We can't tell too many people about our matter, and this is already making it very difficult for me."
"It won't be so difficult after I move out. It's not like I won't be coming back to live in the dormitory. It's just that I'll make an extra trip every day after curfew. It won't attract too much attention, but you have to keep this a secret for me first. Don't let the professor and the rest know."
Stephen sighed helplessly to express his helplessness.
He didn't think it was necessary to do so. They were all in the same camp. Even if they had different goals, shouldn't they still cooperate? This kind of battle of wits and courage between their own camps was a little too disrespectful to Voldemort and the other Black Wizards.
"What's the use of taking them seriously?"
Jon snorted at this argument. "Unless Voldemort revives on the spot, he won't be my main enemy at this stage. Dumbledore and I are just scheming against each other. Like I said before, this is a harmless matter. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to ask for more, how can I ask for more when Dumbledore recovers?"
If it wasn't for Helga and a bunch of things holding him back, he even wanted to wait until he was strong enough to graduate before quitting school and leaving England, so that he wouldn't have to face a revived Voldemort.
"Okay, as long as you're happy. But remember to give me access to your new place after you move, in case I can't find you if there's an emergency."
"Stephen, you've been led astray by me."
Jon finished his homework with a beautiful flowery script and stuffed the parchment paper into Stephen's hands. Although he said that he was embarrassed, he didn't have any attitude of being embarrassed at all.
"It's useless to say less. You're just bored now. Do you want me to find something for you to do?"
"That's not necessary. I still have a lot of things to do. Oh right, it's rare that I don't have classes or anything to do this afternoon. Why don't you have a good rest?"
"How can I rest when I have someone as troublesome as you?"
Stephen rolled his eyes at Jon. "But it'll be fine after I'm done with this busy period. Once everything is on the right track, I'll just have to work for a period of time every year."
Fine, there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Even if Jon was a capitalist, he had accumulated a lot of capital!
Although it was his inheritance and his father's many years of savings, it was also his hard work!
Who said that luck wasn't a kind of ability?
"The place I have my eyes on is a bit far from the castle, but it's at the border between Hufflepuff and Slytherin. That place is a bit special. If you want to go there, you'll have to go with me. You'll have to familiarize yourself with the Illusion Spell first."
Of course, Stephen had learned the Illusion Spell by now. He had never fallen behind in his basic studies. It was just that his proficiency was too low, so he couldn't use it well.
"Since you've said so, of course I'll practice it well."
Stephen pulled back Jon's bed curtain and turned around to leave.
Behind him, Jon smiled and shrugged.
What could he do?
Stephen had been busy every day for him, working hard without complaint. If he didn't fulfill any of Stephen's requests, it would be a bit inhumane.
Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. Helga's hibernation didn't have much time. If it was short, it would be one or two years. If it was long, it could be three to five years. The only people Jon could really trust were his three roommates.
Speaking of which, Jon had been busy with the matter of moving out for the past two days, so he hadn't appeared in the club for a long time.
He thought about it, cast the Illusion Spell on himself, and silently left the dormitory.
This should be the first time he officially went to a club since school started. It was said that almost eighty percent of the freshmen had been recruited to the club this year, including Hannah, who Jon was quite familiar with.
Ah, I'm really looking forward to the next sneak!
