Other than Jon's need for the "Dragon Soul Crypt", the Hogwarts also had some undercurrents recently.
Hagrid had been sneaking around the Forbidden Forest recently. Jon did a little investigation and found out that it was this hunting ground guard who brought the dragon egg back.
Things like force fields would always get stronger the more they were used. Even without the support of the small enchantment of the training ground, Jon was able to investigate this matter in a relatively short period of time. Not to mention, he still had a magical item that was constantly developing new functions: Ravenclaw's Eye of Truth.
In the analysis provided by the spectacles, the existence of the dragon egg was like a high-powered computer mainframe, and the energy it emitted was too eye-catching.
But other than Jon, who else would be able to discover it?
Hagrid's matter was just a small interlude to pass the time. Fortunately, fate still favored Jon. Just as he was about to leave to look for Dumbledore, Snape finally gave him a reply.
This professor had finally settled the matter with the principal.
It could not be said that it was settled, but Dumbledore was not in school previously. After he returned and was questioned by Snape for a few days, he finally could not take it anymore.
Originally, he did not have much conflict with Jon. If meeting once could avoid Snape's continuous questioning, then Dumbledore felt that this was a good thing.
He really did not know what to do with Snape. If he had the ability to reject Snape back then, he would not have kept Snape in school.
It was all because Snape had begged him to protect Lily's child, so he took Harry Potter under his wing. Of course, there was also some guilt towards the Potters.
"That's more or less what happened. Anyway, now that Dumbledore has agreed to meet you, what do you think about tonight?"
After the magic potions class, Snape passed Jon a piece of paper without batting an eyelid. Then, the two of them walked one after another to the teachers' lounge.
After briefly telling Jon about the recent happenings, Snape quickly cut to the chase. "If Dumbledore wants to see you, you better go as soon as possible."
"Anytime is fine. Don't worry, Professor. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Regardless of whether it worked or not, it was not a bad thing to meet Dumbledore first. After all, although the relationship between the two of them had been awkward recently, it could not continue like this.
After a brief exchange of opinions with Snape, Jon confirmed the time to look for Dumbledore tonight.
The time was naturally set to be after the curfew.
Both Jon and Dumbledore agreed that the night was more suitable for discussing matters.
After returning to the training ground, Jon sorted out what he wanted to say to Dumbledore. Then, he quietly waited for the night to come.
In the evening, Hagrid began to carry his dragon egg and walk around in the Forbidden Forest, as if he was looking for a warmer place to hatch it.
But in fact, dragon eggs didn't need to be hatched. If someone told him about it, he would know that the patterns on the eggshell of such a legendary creature were actually a very profound magic circle. It could freely absorb the floating magical elements in the air to promote the growth of the baby dragons until they broke out of their shells.
The so-called need to find a warm place to hatch it was only because most dragons lived near volcanoes and were more used to living in such an environment.
Jon was sure that he had nothing to do with dragons. He would probably never have anything to do with dragons in his life. Even a legendary Wizard might not be able to defeat such a dangerous magical creature. And what made Jon surprised was that such a huge creature like a dragon could actually survive normally in such an environment where magical elements were declining.
In the past many years, there were many magical creatures that were weaker than dragons. Because they could not adapt to the declining environment, they went extinct.
Moreover, dragons were different from the undead birds. The undead birds could adjust their size. After signing a contract with the Wizard, they would become the guardian of a certain family. They could use the bloodline of the Wizard to maintain the existence of their family.
The undead birds were one of the magical creatures that had the nature of immortality.
But dragons were different.
These magical creatures that grew in large areas and lived in groups had a certain degree of difficulty in reproduction. But in other aspects, they were many times more powerful than the Wizard and other magical creatures.
Moreover, adult dragons were in a state of hibernation all year round, so they did not need to eat much. The only problem was that the decline of the magical environment may have a greater impact on their reproduction.
If there was a chance in the future, perhaps he could look at the research materials of dragons from Dumbledore. After all, this legendary Wizard was also an expert in studying dragons.
The moon gradually rose into the sky. Seeing that it was about time, Jon left the training ground and went to the castle.
In fact, he was still a little nervous. Although he could maintain absolute calmness in front of Dumbledore, when he was going to see Dumbledore, this kind of nervousness was out of his control.
There was a saying that said that when one was close to home, one would be more nervous. But when one was home, one would not feel anything.
No matter how nervous he was, he could not stop going to see Dumbledore.
After saying the password, the stone statue at the door made way for him. Standing at the door of the headmaster's office, Jon calmed down and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The door still opened upon hearing the sound.
Dumbledore was still the same, sitting behind his desk, busy with something.
"Good evening, headmaster."
"Good evening, Jon."
Dumbledore did not even raise his head, but scribbled on the table. "I heard from Severus that you have something very serious to look for me about. Did something happen?"
Jon could not help but twitch his mouth. When Snape was talking to him, he did not mention anything serious at all. Now that he thought about it, Snape had made the matter more serious when he was pestering Dumbledore.
"Actually, it's nothing too serious. It's just a personal matter of mine." Whether Dumbledore could see it or not, Jon still had a shy and gentle smile on his face. He asked Dumbledore very politely, "Headmaster, this time I am here to ask if I can borrow the school's Dragon Soul Crypt?"
The pen in Dumbledore's hand suddenly paused. He raised his head, a little confused.
"What is it?"
