Professor Sprout gave Jon a Halloween surprise.
Jon followed Hufflepuff's students back to the lounge. When he was blocked at the door, he suddenly realized that the lounge had become very crowded.
It took him a long time to squeeze into the lounge. Only then did he know what had happened.
Professor Sprout, who had left the banquet early, had prepared a magic board with a notice written on it. Other than some congratulatory words, there was also something written on it.
"What method will Professor Sprout use to help us win the School Championship Competition?"
Jon followed Stephen and the other two through the crowd. On the way back to the dormitory, his ears were filled with discussions surrounding this question.
When they returned to the dormitory, the three who had been holding back all the way gathered around Jon, wanting to know what was going on.
"The School Championship Competition is actually a gimmick that I told the professor." Jon also felt a headache. "At that time, the professor didn't really want to agree, so I thought of this reason. If this club is established, everyone's grades will improve, and naturally, the school will get more points. After all, our school doesn't have an advantage in other aspects, but we do have a lot of people."
"Isn't that good? What's there to worry about? "
Scully was puzzled. The club could help everyone learn, and it was also beneficial to winning the School Championship Competition. No matter how he looked at it, it was a good thing.
"The problem is that Hogwarts doesn't have a rule about bonus points for clubs. All my ideas are based on the fact that the students in our school study hard and have enough talent, but this foundation can't be guaranteed. To put it bluntly, I gave the dean an overdraft in advance of a possible future result, but the possibility of this result happening is not high at all."
"In other words, you lied to our dean?"
Feren was a little nervous. Although this was done by Jon, he always felt that he had a part to play in it.
When he became nervous, Jon, who was sitting opposite him, was not so nervous.
Jon took a deep breath and calmed down. He gently patted Feren's shoulder.
"Don't worry, this isn't a lie. It's just a way of making a less likely result seem more likely through the way we talk...
Although this "more likely" is a little exaggerated, our original intention is good. Even if there is a problem in the end, we can push it to other places.
We're just freshmen, who would blame us? "
The three of them were so nervous that none of them noticed the guilt in Jon's tone.
"If you put it that way, it makes sense."
Stephen held his chin and said solemnly, "But we can't be irresponsible just because of this...
Responsible?
Jon pursed his lips, thinking, What responsibility do they have?
The person who founded the club was Professor Sprout. Whether or not they could win the School Championship Championship was not up to him alone.
From the very beginning, the reason he wanted to create this club was to find a golden glove for himself. At the very beginning, he planned to slowly spread the improved spells among the students through discussions. Hufflepuff would always be able to find a few smart students who would be able to figure out how to improve the spells. In the end, Chown would be able to say that his improvement of the spells came from the discussions between the students.
This would be beneficial to all of Hufflepuff's students. Not to mention other things, a strong spell would not have a problem protecting themselves in battle.
In Jon's club, strength in numbers was not a principle, but a result.
And when the time came, these improved spells would be common. Jon's role would only be the person who spread the spells at the beginning and the person who would benefit in the end.
Since he did not intend to do it himself, Stephen and the others would not take the initiative to expose this matter.
They were no longer children, especially compared to their peers. They had become Wizard.
At this age, they had long understood everything. Moreover, the world of these little Wizard was very realistic. They might be happy to show off because of some things, but when they suddenly became vested interests of a serious enough matter, secrecy, concealment, and even "maturity" would become one of their survival instincts.
As Jon's roommates, Stephen, Fran, and Scully had long realized how powerful their roommate was, and put themselves in the same boat as Jon. When they thought about something related to Jon, they would instinctively consult Jon's opinion, instead of doing things as casually as when they were doing their own things.
Jon was good at using this instinct, and he was able to take advantage of others' instincts.
Of course, this kind of "taking advantage" did not affect the basis of friendship.
The friendship between Wizard and Wizard was very serious, just like how Harry Potter's parents handed their fate to Peter Pettigrew. This represented a large part of absolute trust.
The only difference was that on one hand, Jon had enough trump cards, so he was not afraid of betrayal from his friends. On the other hand, Jon maintained enough goodwill to trust his friends.
However, his goodwill was not that cheap. Could he be responsible for the entire Hufflepuff College?
"I'm not talking about being responsible. I'm saying that we have to help Professor Sprout. We can't make Professor Sprout feel awkward."
"Yes, at least we have to respond to the professor first. This will make him have a better impression of you."
Jon admitted that Stephen's words made sense. After all, it was Jon who suggested this to Professor Sprout. No matter what, Jon could not be a burden to Professor Sprout in this matter.
After all, he still had a few years to spend at Hufflepuff.
He wasn't afraid that Professor Sprout would do anything to him. This professor and his ancestor, Hufflepuff, had always been kind. It was just that he had taken advantage of the professor's care and kindness towards his student, so he felt a little guilty.
"Then it's settled. When the time comes, we'll be more proactive."
Jon confirmed Stephen's idea. He stuffed the three of them back into their respective beds and went back to lie down on his bed.
He felt that a lot of unexpected things had happened to him since he came to Hogwarts.
Even if Jon continued to improve his thinking, there was no way to prevent these unexpected things from happening.
In that case, it was better to let them take their natural course.
As long as there was a problem, there would be a solution. It was useless to worry about it.
He would deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow.
He would sleep well tonight.
