Should he choose Gryffindor or Slythrin?
This was not a question.
Because Jon did not want to go to either of them.
These two academies indeed had their own benefits. If he chose Gryffindor, he would undoubtedly receive Dumbledore's bias and the benefits of the "savior" Harry Potter joining the academy in the next few years. If he chose Slythrin, Jon was confident that he could quickly integrate into the circle of pure-blooded Wizard's and mix in like a fish in water.
But these two academies had never entered Jon's consideration.
The reason was very simple. Firstly, he did not want to disturb the original storyline too much.
Gryffindor's Principal Dumbledore and Slythrin's Dean Snape were both masters of "mind manipulation". If he did not join these two academies, the possibility of facing these two masters would be much lower.
Jon had some tricks to avoid mind manipulation, such as avoiding eye contact or constructing a Hilbert Space in his mind and encrypting it with mathematical equations. Unless Dumbledore and Snape were mathematics professors who could see the answer at a glance, they would not be able to break through Jon's defenses in an instant.
But this would only attract more attention. Snape was also a Potion Master, Jon did not want to try the effects of the mixed-blood prince's truth-telling serum.
Another reason why he did not want to join these two academies was that no matter which academy he joined, it would be difficult to ensure that he could maintain a neutral stance.
Living in a group would give people a wonderful sense of honor, and people who lived in it would easily be infected by the opposing emotions.
Jon admitted that he was not a person with stable emotions. Once he was infected by such collective emotions, he would definitely use his foresight of the future and other information to gain an advantage. When that time came, it would not be a good thing to disrupt the original storyline.
He wasn't interested in fighting with the Death Eaters, or even Voldemort whose name couldn't be mentioned.
What a joke, it was not easy to become a Wizard, why should he think about ruling the world every day instead of researching how to increase his magical power and pursue a long life and enjoy a good life?
"I want to go to Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff."
"…?"
Silence.
After a while, Bella retracted her gaze as if she had seen a monster. She furrowed her brows, and her tone was filled with confusion. "Why is that? These two academies are mediocre. Perhaps Ravenclaw has some talented Wizard that can make a name for themselves, but Hufflepuff is too … average. "
Jon heard the pause in his cousin's words. He guessed that she wanted to say something like 'useless', but considering that Jon was here, she didn't say it so bluntly.
Qiao En didn't care about the contempt in his cousin's words.
It couldn't be helped. This was the current situation of Hogwarts. Hufflepuff Academy recruited all the students that weren't favored by the other three academies. It looked like they were collecting trash.
But this was what Jon liked about this academy. It took in all the students that weren't favored by the other academies and let these ordinary students have a chance to study. This kind of humane approach reminded Jon of some stories that happened in his previous life.
"Forget it, anyway, when the time comes, the sorting hat will help you make the decision. Your opinion isn't important."
Béla completely gave up on this topic, and then suddenly thought of another thing. A smile appeared on her face, "I heard that grandmother has something to give you. It's a gift to congratulate you on becoming a little Wizard."
"Really? What gift? "
Jon pretended to be very interested. Of course, he could vaguely guess what kind of gift he might receive, but cooperating with his cousin to make her happy was obviously more important.
After all, the 'unexpected' decision he just made seemed to have made this cousin a little unhappy.
"I don't know, but it should be something very precious. I heard mother and grandmother mention the words' ancient 'and' heritage 'when they were talking."
Béla seemed a little regretful that she didn't explain to her cousin, but this regret was fleeting. She immediately said, "The answer will be revealed at dinner tonight. I bet that aunt and grandmother are definitely discussing this matter now."
"Then why don't we go to the dining hall and wait now. I'm a little thirsty."
Jon made a reasonable suggestion, which was immediately approved by Béla.
When the two siblings arrived at the dining hall, the long dining table was already filled with a lot of fragrant food.
"Oh, Miss Béla, Young Master Jon, it's not time for dinner yet. I think you've come early."
The middle-aged female house elf, Kalika's mother, Jasmine, was laying out a plate of roasted chicken when she saw Jon and Béla enter the dining hall, so she spoke out to remind them.
The Isa Manor was not as cruel to the little fairies as some of the pure-blood families. Therefore, the house fairies of the Yang family lived quite well. Even a house fairy like Jasmine, who had been raised for many years, could persuade her "little master's" actions.
Although she couldn't persuade them, there was no other way.
"Don't worry, Jasmine. We're not very hungry now, but can you give me something to drink? I want to drink watermelon juice. "
After Jon finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Béla. Béla also nodded and said to the little elf, "Give me a cup of orange juice."
Jasmine was very satisfied with the behavior of the two little masters who were willing to eat on time. She slightly adjusted the angle of the roasted chicken and then disappeared with a "pa" sound.
Béla ran to the living room to eavesdrop on the conversation of the parents, so Jon didn't sit at the table. Instead, he sat at a small round table in the corner of the dining hall.
This small round table used to be placed in the garden for afternoon tea. Since Madam Rowling Kalika changed a new table, this small round table was moved here.
The one who brought the drinks was the little elf Kalika. Her mother was busy preparing dinner. After all, dinner was not long away.
"If you're busy, you can go. You don't have to wait on me here."
Jon had a good impression of the little elf. This kind of magical creature with extraordinary magical abilities, he liked it very much when he read the original novel.
Kalika was already very familiar with him, so when she heard this, she didn't stay. Instead, she went to help her mother prepare dinner.
Jon sat on the chair and narrowed his eyes as he tasted the watermelon juice. The cold taste made him feel very comfortable.
It didn't take more than a minute for Béla, who had just left, to rush back.
"Jon, Jon, I just heard from aunt and grandmother that you are actually a pure-blood Wizard. Do you know this?"
“?”
Jon's head was filled with countless question marks, "You didn't hear wrong, did you?"
His father was obviously an ordinary person. How could he be a pure-blood Wizard?
Are you kidding me?
