Inside the school, chaos ensued.
Even though the professors and class leaders had tried their best to suppress the noise of the students, after all, not all students were under the jurisdiction of the Hogwarts. In contrast, Hufflepuff's students were much better. They were relatively orderly. Even though they were the ones who couldn't accept Cedric's death the most, some things had to be accepted in the end, and they were disciplined.
"It seems that while I was away, you guys did a good job of managing these new students."
"It's all thanks to Fran. Don't be fooled by how he usually doesn't talk, but when it comes to handling these relationships, he does have a special ability."
"He inherited his father's good points." Jon thought about Fran's father who worked in his own company. "His father is quite capable in management. This is also considered as knowing people well. You have indeed grown a lot."
Stephen didn't feel comfortable with Jon's praise because Jon never said such official words. Every time he said something like this, it meant that he had other thoughts.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush, I don't feel comfortable listening to it."
"I'm just expressing my concern, nothing else. You're too sensitive now, why can't you accept other people's praise with an open mind?"
"Accepting other people's praise isn't difficult, but you have to take it seriously.
However, I still need to treat your praise with caution. After all, with your character, you wouldn't praise someone for no reason.
In the past few years, I've already seen through that your praise has a price.
If you want me to do something, just say it. You don't have to think so much. As long as you say it, I'll agree, because as your direct subordinate, I'm very responsible. "
"Don't make me sound like a capitalist who exploits people's flesh and blood, okay? I'm not that ruthless. At least in your hearts, shouldn't I be an approachable brother? "
"With your identity, saying that you're not a capitalist is indeed not convincing.
You have to know, no matter from which perspective, you can't be considered an ordinary person.
It doesn't matter if you're a noble or a rich person, these are the most normal things in your life. Why can't you say it? "
"You've really changed. In the past, you would never use so many words to shut me up. But now, you've suddenly … In just two years, you've become so eloquent. It's really surprising."
"If this is a compliment, then I accept it humbly. But now is not the time to talk about this. Look at the mess on the field. I don't know what Dumbledore is dealing with. Shouldn't you help?"
"What's there to help? Even if the professors in Hogwarts don't have the time to manage the students, are those class leaders incompetent? Besides, the students and audience of the other schools don't need us to manage them. Their schools already have their own professors. "
Jon had always been too lazy to intervene in this kind of thing. Since Dumbledore didn't care about this kind of chaos, then why should he intervene?
"Besides, I don't have the right to speak at this kind of time.
I've been away for so long. For example, the students of the other schools, even the freshmen of Hufflepuff, probably don't know who I am. Are you sure they'll listen to me even if I speak? "
"You're right. But why did Dumbledore become so impatient?"
"I don't know. I've been gone for so long. I haven't seen Dumbledore for a long time. Who knows what happened in the past two years. When I came back, ancestor Helga didn't tell me."
It had been less than half a day since Jon came back. He didn't have time to see Dumbledore in person. He only glanced at him from afar. Dumbledore didn't see him.
In short, it wasn't appropriate for him to intervene in this kind of situation. So, it was better to let the students handle it themselves. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
"Speaking of which, it's strange. Dumbledore seems to have become a little muddle-headed in the past two years. He doesn't care about a lot of things. He just delegated the power to his subordinates and let them handle it themselves."
"What's so strange about that? He's now wholeheartedly devoted to Harry. Naturally, he has less time to deal with other things. It's normal. Don't worry too much."
Jon's tone sounded so normal that Stephen couldn't even tell if he was mocking him or just saying it casually.
However, Jon probably wouldn't mock Dumbledore too much.
But even he felt that the Jon in front of him had become a little strange, so he couldn't really say for sure.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sirius yet. I should go and see him. After all, I asked Professor Grindelwald to bring him out … I don't know how Professor Sprout has dealt with the matter. It may take a while for Cedric to wake up, but it shouldn't be too long.
I think his parents should take him away and find a quiet place to recuperate.
To be honest, after Cedric is resurrected, I should see him again. After all, he's dead and can't study in the school anymore. But if he wants to leave, I might never see him again in this life. "
Huh?
Stephen didn't think that what Jon said was normal at all. He could understand every single word, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand them.
"If you don't understand some things, there's no need to force yourself to understand. When there's time, I'll tell you in detail what I've experienced during this period of time, and the various … lucky deeds I've encountered."
Jon looked back at Stephen and patted him on the shoulder.
Both of them stopped in their tracks at the same time. Not far from the entrance of Castle Hogwarts, an angry Connelly Fudge walked out.
"Stephen, why do you think the Minister of the Ministry of Magic is so angry?"
"Probably because he just had a quarrel with Dumbledore. Speaking of which, I saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Magic doesn't seem to respect Dumbledore as much as before. Maybe this is the confidence that comes with status. I'm not sure why a Wizard like him, who can only be considered as an average Wizard, has the confidence to refute Dumbledore's words."
"More than that, it should be because Professor Grindelwald has met him. I felt Professor Grindelwald's black magic aura on him, but Professor Grindelwald used some special means to erase some of his memories. For the current Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore is just a legendary Wizard."
