To Snape, Jon's desire to speak to Dumbledore was very normal. It was a very common thing.
But what he did not understand was why Jon wanted him to be the middleman.
Couldn't he just look for Dumbledore himself? Dumbledore's office was right there.
And unlike Jon's roundabout thoughts, he still asked this question.
"Uh, how should I put this?"
Jon really did not know how to tell Snape about the problem between him and Dumbledore, because this question seemed a little pretentious to outsiders. And more importantly, since Dumbledore did not tell Snape about Mr Dumbledore, it meant that Dumbledore did not want this matter to spread.
After all, the Loyal Curse was not something that could be easily forgotten, even if the target of this curse was no longer in this world.
Hence, Jon would not say anything unnecessary. The reason why he was able to maintain a peaceful relationship with Dumbledore despite constantly challenging Dumbledore was because he knew how to read the situation.
He knew what to say and what not to say, and what to say depending on the situation, so Dumbledore only felt that he was a little out of control, but did not think that he had any ill intentions.
And being around the same age as Harry was also a form of protection.
Who would have thought that a twelve-year-old child would be so mature, and even be so scheming?
"In short, there's a small incident between me and Dumbledore recently. It's really not suitable for me to get on his bad side recently, so I'll have to trouble you to help me find out what's going on."
"Okay, okay, this matter is not a problem." Snape agreed very quickly, and then left Jon's little house.
For the next few weeks, Jon did not receive any response. It was as if the incident had never happened.
Jon didn't feel that Snape didn't help him ask. He knew very well that with Snape's personality, if he didn't help him settle this matter, he wouldn't reply to him.
This situation was very difficult to handle. Jon could not directly ask Snape about his progress. That would make it seem like he did not trust Snape.
Furthermore, there was no progress on Stephen's side. There was never a place called the Dragon Soul Crypt in the records of Hogwarts School. Even though he had mobilized most of his forces to investigate the records in the library, there was still no progress.
In fact, the best way to solve this matter was to ask the specters directly. However, Helga had said before that there were some secrets that the school's specters could not tell the students casually.
For the school, as' living creatures' that could exist in the school for a long time, the ghosts must know a lot of secrets about the school. But secrets were secrets because they couldn't be known by too many people.
Therefore, among the specters in the school, there was an unwritten rule.
No matter how long a specter had stayed in Hogwarts, they could not casually reveal or discuss about the school's hierarchy.
This so-called 'school hierarchy' was very strange. Because of Helena's identity, revealing the location of Ravenclaw's crown to Voldemort was not a matter that belonged to the school's hierarchy.
Even if that crown was a treasure left behind by the school's founder, under unknowing circumstances, that crown could completely become Helena's personal possession.
After all, in name, she was the successor of Ravenclaw.
But Jon was also the successor of Hufflepuff.
Identity was sometimes useless, but sometimes, it could play a big role.
But identity was like reputation, it could not be squandered too often.
If it was used too often, others would not value it. Even if they valued it on the surface, it would become perfunctory in their hearts.
To put it simply, it was like agreeing on the surface but not doing anything behind the scenes.
In fact, Jon did not need to worry about this for Naughty Ghost and the fat monk.
These two specters had certain interests with him, and their relationship was not bad, but Jon did not intend to ask them.
Asking them about this kind of thing would not yield any results. If Dumbledore did not agree, no one could do anything. Perhaps Naughty Ghost could help with Jon's departure from the school, but this was something that could not be helped.
Helga was obviously used to the way she interacted with Dumbledore, but it was obvious that this way of getting along was not suitable for Jon and Dumbledore.
After all, Jon was only Hufflepuff's descendant, not Hufflepuff himself.
Moreover, Jon was very skeptical that with the current state of the world, the Dragon Soul Crypt that Helga mentioned could still be used.
It was more likely that it could not be used. Jon was skeptical, and at the same time, he asked Stephen and the other students to withdraw their investigation.
After all, it was almost the end of the semester. There were more than three months until June, and only thirteen or fourteen weeks until the final exam.
The students had to prepare for their own studies and exams, and the homework assigned by the teachers was gradually increasing. The Easter holiday was getting closer, and there was less than a month left. Jon planned to simply go directly to Dumbledore.
After all, the end of the purification of the potion was very important to Jon. In Helga's design manuscript, this step was related to the purification of the last bit of the soul. This was also the reason why Jon had to move out of the castle. That step of the purification seemed to cause some strange things, and if he did not leave the castle, he was afraid that it could not be concealed.
The matter of the training ground was completely due to someone giving him a pillow when he was sleepy. It would be a waste not to use it. In terms of these real benefits, Jon's reputation was really dispensable.
Winter was completely over, and the spring sky was clear and bright. There was no fog here in London, and the blue sky was like the color of the forget-me-nots. The air was also filled with the smell of the coming summer.
Living in the Forbidden Forest was relatively freer, and it was more comfortable. Except for some classes that he had to attend, he had already received the guidelines of not having to attend the classes of a few professors. This special treatment was not exposed by the professors, and it was already very clear that there was a problem.
Dumbledore still gave him a lot of freedom, so Jon was whether his repeated excessive requests would be met.
He was still a little worried.
