It was getting late, and the Duke of Honey, which was usually crowded with Hogwarts students, was now resting. However, Jon could still see the shelves in the shop, which were filled with all kinds of candies that children would love.
Candy peanuts, chocolates, and puddings were neatly arranged on the shelves, and there were all kinds of drinks on the opposite side.
However, the door of the shop was closed.
"I can't get out of the door, but I can still get out of the window."
Jon looked at the window that was blown open by the wind, wrapped himself in a cloak, and jumped out of the window.
However, he forgot that he was not tall enough, and he almost fell when he jumped out.
After running a few steps, Jon hid behind a house, and with a light tap of his wand, he removed the curse on his body.
When he came out of the tunnel, he forgot that he had just endured an hour of the Illusion Spell, and his magic was almost depleted. The Illusion Spell almost made him lose control of his body when he jumped out of the window.
"I should exercise my body, otherwise, once I overdraw my magic, I won't be able to hold on."
Jon shook his head to make his aching head feel a little better. Leaning against the wet wall just now made his hands and feet cold.
"Sigh... I miscalculated."
He touched the ring on his hand, took out a mint candy, and stuffed it into his mouth. The cool feeling in his mouth finally suppressed the cold in his body.
Jon felt that he had recovered some of his energy.
"Fighting poison with poison is not a good idea, I should use it less in the future."
Jon leaned weakly against the wall, and stared at the shadow in front of him in a daze.
This was the first time he saw the appearance of Hogsmeade Village, and it was much more prosperous than described in the book. Although it was already night time, he could see that it was different during the day.
It was worthy of being the most prosperous place in the British Wizard world, next to a top school, and the economic conditions were much more convenient.
It was easier to do business next to a school, this was a principle that was universal.
...
Gathering the Wizard robe on his body, Jon slowly walked along the street along the wall.
The silence here was different from the silence in Hogwarts Castle. The atmosphere here was much heavier, and it was not as heavy as the academic atmosphere in the castle.
There was no curfew in Hogsmeade Village, so if a black Wizard came here at this time, no one would be able to find out.
Although the buildings on both sides of the street were a little old, they were still in the Muggle style, and it was easy to feel like visiting a medieval town.
After all, the Wizard was born from Muggle, but he was still human.
Speaking of which, the human world was already in an economic war, and yet the British adepts were still not making any moves. This was a very strange thing.
Jon did not think that his theory was wrong. He thought that the British wizards were not alert enough.
If the war was going to start again, the German wizards would definitely choose to gather in the dark instead of exposing themselves.
After a great war had taken place in Europe, the victors of the previous war naturally became targets for the next war.
The Ministry of Magic's higher-ups, who were always dreaming of peace and stability, were not willing to believe that war would break out again, especially the newly appointed minister. His behavior was really hard to criticize.
Jon shook his head. The world had always been like this. History was always surprisingly similar.
During the World War, the British political scene did not see the inevitability of war until Churchill came to power.
In the original book, when Voldemort was reborn, the Ministry of Magic also did not believe it. They even carved the words "I cannot lie" on Harry's arm.
This was really a... boring game.
Jon liked magic, but he hated war. A scholar should stay in the laboratory and do his own research. Professional matters should be left to the professionals.
This was a rather realistic problem that Jon thought about.
In his own world, he was the main character, and he had the freedom to do what he wanted.
But in the world of Harry Potter, Harry Potter was the main character.
In the Doujinshi novels he read in his previous life, the protagonists who transmigrated to different worlds would all use their foresight to change the world into a completely different ending from the original plot.
The stories written by those authors were very interesting, but Jon did not agree with this method.
Of course, he could show that he was very talented and go to Gryffindor or Slythrin during the school assignment. Of course, he might not be able to meet his ancestors, but that would not affect anything. As long as he was good enough, this matter would be discovered sooner or later.
Then, he could help Dumbledore change the course of events. He didn't need Harry Potter to live so safely, and he didn't need to give him so much training. As long as he destroyed those Soul Tools, he could find a way to resurrect Voldemort using Harry's blood. With the help of the Guardian Spell left by Lily Potter, as long as Voldemort didn't die, Harry wouldn't die either. As long as he hardened his heart and turned Harry Potter into a tool, he could gain fame, status, power and so on.
As long as he wanted it, as long as he was ruthless, he could get it.
Furthermore, was it really that difficult for a person who had already died once to be ruthless?
Not at all.
Jon was very clear that this was not a difficult problem at all. It was just a simple choice.
Who would not choose a choice between two options?
Jon knew how to choose, so he chose the latter.
Using one's advantage to do things was a good choice. As long as this matter was done well and achieved the result that everyone wanted, everyone would be happy. Only Harry Potter, who was being used as a tool, did not seem to be very happy.
That was what Jon cared about.
He used to like the story of Harry Potter very much. He liked the people in the story, he liked the protagonists and supporting characters. He did not particularly dislike the Slythrins who appeared as villains.
A person's love was very precious. This kind of emotion that was transmitted was the connection between the person and the world.
So Jon had planned for himself early on. Since he could rely on his own ability to become the person he wanted to be, then there was no need to change the fate of others, or even live in other people's lives.
Otherwise, what was the point of his liking for the story and the characters in the story?
Jon thought as he returned to the Hogwarts from the secret passage of the Duke of Honey.
He might be able to change some small things through the prophet of this world, but he would never become a new "savior".
Let Harry Potter deal with the grievances. He, Jon, just wanted to be Jon himself.
This was his choice.
(Author's note: The content of this chapter is not so much Jon's choice as it is my original intention. I often read many doujinshi novels. The protagonists are very outstanding. They use their own golden fingers to change the appearance of the world. The original protagonists of the story are turned back into nameless people by them. Is this really right? We like a story because we like the life of the protagonist. In the end, one day, someone has the opportunity to become a person of the protagonist's world, but they use their own understanding to destroy the protagonist's life. Isn't this a very funny thing? I know that there are many readers who only want to enjoy themselves, because I used to be such a person. But when I was writing this book, I thought about what kind of story line to arrange for the protagonist. Replacing the original protagonist would be easy, and it would be easy to write. If the original plot was changed, it would be a wonderful story. But I gave up on this idea. In the end, Jon chose a new beginning, and the savior still went to save his world. If my readers are disappointed by this choice, then I would like to apologize. After all, I am just an ordinary person, and I can't take into account the thoughts of all my readers. It is my fault for disappointing everyone, but I still hope that everyone will like this story. This passage is very important to me, so I posted it in the article instead of the author's words. I hope that no matter where readers are, they can see this passage. I also hope that everyone can live up to their love. That's all.)
