"That's for sure. For such a serious matter, you should consider it more."
Jon said casually, because he was still very confident in Lohat.
No matter what role Dumbledore wanted Lohat to play, Lohat would be able to fulfill it.
This was the self-cultivation of a liar.
After saying all this, Jon bid farewell to Dumbledore from the principal's office.
After spending nearly three hours here, it was already past midnight when he left the house.
Professor Snape was waiting outside the principal's office beside the stone statue, and from the looks of it, he was not here to look for Dumbledore.
Jon smiled awkwardly, then maintained this smile on his face and leaned over to please him.
"Ha, long time no see."
He deliberately smiled. "It's so late, what are you doing here, Professor? Are you out to admire the moon? "
"There's no moon today."
Today, Snape's face was still stiff, and he was even more serious than usual.
"And Mr Smith, it's so late and you're still loitering in the castle, I think I should deduct some points from you."
"You're treating me like an outsider."
After all, what happened in the afternoon was his fault. Jon was in the wrong, so he could not be as cheeky as usual with Snape, and could only try his best to please him.
"It's so late and you're still awake, and specially waiting for me here, you must have something important to tell me."
Snape still did not speak.
— — This damned tsundere!
Jon ground his teeth imperceptibly, but he also knew that if Snape was waiting for him, Dumbledore, but did not say anything, it meant that there was indeed something.
To deal with tsundere, one could only rely on shamelessness, and Jon knew this very well.
So he directly reached out and grabbed Snape's sleeve.
"Let's go, Professor, we'll talk as we walk."
…
Principal's office.
After Jon left, Dumbledore waved his hand, and a booklet floated down from the bookshelf.
This booklet looked very ordinary, but there was a small picture of a phoenix printed on the front page.
An investigation report from the Phoenix Society.
In fact, Dumbledore didn't really care about privacy. He mainly wanted to achieve his goal. Moreover, these things were done in secret and didn't alarm the people under investigation.
Furthermore, some of the information was about the background of the person being investigated, and it did not involve the current situation.
This book was an investigation report on Jon's teacher.
At first, Dumbledore didn't know about this. He only found out from his correspondence with Jon's grandmother, Ka Rowling Yang that Jon had mysteriously found a teacher for himself. After that, he asked the Phoenix Society to investigate the person who fit the description.
In addition to a bunch of male wizards, there were even a few female wizards who matched the information revealed by Madam Rowling Ka.
For the Phoenix Society, which had no serious business at the moment, doing this kind of thing was a waste of talent, but it was also a good way to train their abilities.
Even if it was an organization established to fight against Voldemort, it couldn't be fighting against Voldemort all the time.
To put it bluntly, the Phoenix Society was now an invisible force that Dumbledore used to maintain his control over the Magical World. Could he maintain his position with prestige and power alone?
That was just a lie from the Ministry of Magic.
Dumbledore never denied his control over power, but he wouldn't deliberately show this point. Influence was always in the dark, and it was better than being in the open. Moreover, he learned from Prime Minister Muggle how to deal with these matters. In such an important position, or to have such a reputation, it was a very troublesome matter. Although the current Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Foggy, didn't say this out loud and discussed everything with him, it didn't mean that Foggy didn't have other thoughts deep down.
Becoming a Minister of the Ministry of Magic who didn't live up to his name should be a very sad thing.
Dumbledore actually didn't want to attract so much power. Possessing power was also a very tiring thing, and he had to give up and give up more than he gained. This was something that he deeply understood.
But he had no choice.
He was responsible for the safety of the entire Magical World. If he couldn't stop Voldemort's return, which of the officials in the Ministry of Magic could maintain the current peace?
This was also the reason why the members of the Phoenix Society were so loyal to Dumbledore. They knew very well that if Dumbledore really fell, there would be no one who could stop Voldemort.
After fighting against the Death Eaters for so many years, they knew what kind of people they were the most.
They were ruthless, cunning, and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals. In contrast, a powerful existence like Dumbledore who was dedicated to maintaining the peace of the Magical World was very rare, if not rare.
As members of the Phoenix Society, they only needed to live a peaceful life.
Dumbledore was undoubtedly a person who could give them a sense of security. At the same time, they had a good impression of the Legendary Wizard and Dumbledore's prestige, which strengthened their trust in Dumbledore. Therefore, they were willing to follow Dumbledore's will.
Belief was too important for a group of people who had an organization.
If Jon knew about this, he would definitely say so.
But he obviously didn't know about this.
Dumbledore flipped open the booklet and found Lohat's page.
These were summaries of Lohat's past experiences, recording Lohat's early experiences.
Lohat was born in a mixed-race family: his mother was a witch, his father was Muggle, and he had two older sisters.
He was the only child in the family who showed magical talent, and he was also a smart and beautiful boy, so he was unscrupulously favored by his mother.
When he was studying in Hogwarts, his teachers thought that his wisdom and ability were above average. As long as he worked hard, he might be able to achieve his own career. Lohat, who was assigned to Ravenclaw, quickly got good grades in his studies, but his nature of "do your best or do nothing" had been entangled with him, making him more and more dissatisfied with himself. Gradually, he used his talent to take shortcuts and avoid work.
He studied diligently, not to improve himself, but to gain attention for himself. He longed for various awards and to let everyone know him.
Dumbledore still remembered when Lohat once pestered him to start the school newspaper. He was indeed a very ambitious student, but after he graduated, Dumbledore never heard of him again.
