Actually, this was a rather special experience.
Looking at the "portrait" in his hand that was filled with formulas, Jon felt that this was very strange.
But, he still got it.
Before he left, he might be able to use the resources of the Hogwarts to concoct some of these magic potions. Maybe Snape would be able to help.
"I've already given you what you want. Don't forget about helping Sirius leave Azkaban."
"Don't worry, I promise to help you with this."
Jon stuffed the portrait into his ring and did not look at it carefully. He trusted Phineas' character and his care for his only bloodline.
Furthermore.
Jon had his own confidence.
The things he was doing now mostly involved the revival of humans. And if it was useful, at least Sirius would not be dead when he returned. If it was useless …
He would be dead by then, who would care about this?
Bringing the formula out of the principal's office, Jon planned to take a stroll before going to look for Snape and Mr Filch.
The environment of the Scottish Highlands in winter was not good. The biggest disadvantage of the snowstorm was that the thick clouds almost did not disperse. When Chown looked up, he could only see the thick clouds in the sky. He could not see what the sky looked like behind the clouds.
And with the sky here, there was no way to see Sirius in the day.
After coming down from the eighth floor, Jon turned around and went to Snape's office.
Snape did not have classes at this time, but he had other guests.
When Chown pushed open the door and entered, he happened to see Lockhart and Snape standing together with their faces flushed red, as if they had just had a heated argument.
"The two of you fought?"
Ignoring the awkward atmosphere in the room, Jon pushed open the door and looked at the two of them.
"Didn't I hear that the two of you are in charge of the duel club? Could it be that the two of you had an argument because of some of the club's contents? "
"You're obviously thinking too much."
Snape turned around and adjusted his collar. "It's a rare thing for you to come to the castle. What's the matter?"
"Could I trouble you, the Master Potion Master, to help me take a look at some things." Jon took out the formula that he had just gotten from Phineas, and placed it on Snape's table. "Could you help me identify the ancient magic potions on this list, and translate them into their current names in this magical society? Thank you."
"It's nothing difficult."
Snape glanced at the list and nodded. "Just leave it to me. When do I need it?"
"Yes, if it's convenient, of course it'll be done as soon as possible. I still want to concoct these potions as soon as possible."
"Do you need my help?"
Jon shook his head. He could tell that Snape was not being sincere. Furthermore, the concoction of such a magic potion had to be done by oneself. After all, if there were not enough magic potions, he would have to find ingredients locally. If he was not familiar with the medicinal properties, it would be very difficult to do so.
"If you're done, write me a note. I'll come and get it myself, or get the little elf to send it to me. I wish the two of you a happy break-in."
He glanced at Lockhart and closed the door behind him as he walked out.
Otherwise, if someone saw Lohat and Snape arguing in the office, it would not be a good thing.
Filch's office and Snape's office were only separated by two corridors and a staircase. Filch had not moved out in the wee hours of the morning. His work usually lasted from noon to night, and after midnight, he would rest in the office. When the students were having their first lesson in the morning, that was when he was the most relaxed.
Jon's arrival surprised him.
"Are you back in school for lessons? Why did you suddenly come to the castle? "
Almost everyone who saw him would ask this question, and this made Jon feel very awkward.
"After all, I'm still a student in school. Isn't it normal for me to come to the castle?"
Filch did not speak, but Jon could tell from his expression that the answer in his heart was no.
"Alright, let's get down to business. There's not much time left. I reckon that when they're done with their lessons, you'll still have to go out and patrol, right?"
Filch nodded.
Actually, he could guess what Jon's motive was, because Mischievous had told him a long time ago — not that long ago, anyway — that Jon would be in charge of him becoming a Wizard.
"Tell me, I'd like to hear what you have in mind."
Filch's voice was not agitated at all. It was obvious that he did not think that Jon and the rest had the power to make him a Wizard. He had begged Dumbledore many times, but Dumbledore said that he could not do anything.
Regarding this secret, Jon actually knew.
He was the one who understood best why Dumbledore did not want to help. After all, in this world, there were so many people who wanted to become a Wizard, and there were also many ways to become a Wizard. If the Black Wizard of America could use such a cruel method to create a Wizard, there was no reason why Dumbledore could not do the same. It was just that the process was very difficult to endure, but this was something that needed to be endured and worked hard. It had nothing to do with Dumbledore.
The reason why Dumbledore refused to help these people was because this matter could not be set as a precedent.
He could help one person, but how could he help a group of people?
Dumbledore, in fact, was a selfish existence sometimes.
He was different from Grindelwald. In the beginning, Grindelwald had such noble ideals and wanted to change the Wizard World, but his starting point was to make the Wizard World an existence above the other life forms. Dumbledore believed that all life forms were equal, and no matter what kind of life forms they were, they should accept their fate. Therefore, he adhered to a style of not caring about anything, and did not intervene in anything, until the current situation was created.
Of course, this kind of thing could not be blamed on Dumbledore. Everyone had their own way of adapting to this world. Jon understood Dumbledore's way of life, but he did not agree with it.
He was more inclined towards Grindelwald's values, but he hoped that more people in this world could enjoy the service of magic, and not use the power of magic to harm the interests of others.
In general, the three of them had different standpoints. Dumbledore was conservative, he hoped to protect the interests of the existing Wizard, and at the same time, to protect Muggle's life. Grindelwald was radical, he hoped to further expand the interests of the Wizard, but he was also willing to protect the safety of other life forms besides the Wizard.
Jon, on the other hand, thought a lot more.
