Jon had been waiting for Dumbledore to tell him about the "legendary Wizard Dumbledore" for a long time.
But the latter was very strict about these things, as if these things were secrets that no one could find out.
Even if Jon wanted to inquire about it, Dumbledore would change the topic without leaving a trace.
Jon didn't know how long he had been waiting for Dumbledore to open his heart and tell him his thoughts.
After all, although some things were already guessed, hearing it directly from the person involved would still give him a different feeling.
…
"Gellar took Lockhart to look for something for me. But even I don't know what the thing he's looking for is. He didn't tell me much, only a little. But he'll be back soon. You can ask him when he comes back."
Dumbledore only briefly mentioned the whereabouts of Professor Lohat and Grindelwald, but Jon smelled a trace of something different.
Because Lohat was one thing, but what couldn't Grindelwald tell Dumbledore?
There must be something he didn't know. And Grindelwald didn't tell Dumbledore his plan completely, probably because he felt that the success rate of this plan was low, so he needed to make more preparations before he could tell Dumbledore everything.
That's fine.
When teacher Grindelwald comes back, I can ask him directly. Now, the focus of his conversation with Dumbledore wasn't the whereabouts of teacher Grindelwald, but Dumbledore's thoughts, right?
Jon stared closely at Dumbledore, trying to see something different from the old man's face. Unfortunately, Dumbledore's beard covered most of his expression, so Jon couldn't see anything.
But even so, Jon could hear the tiredness in Dumbledore's voice.
This tiredness shouldn't have been accumulated for a long time, but something that suddenly stimulated Dumbledore, causing some different changes in his heart.
"So, you suddenly realized this because of what the head of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Foggy, did yesterday, right?"
Dumbledore nodded, and his tone became a little angry.
This made Jon even more certain of his thoughts.
Dumbledore wasn't a person who would easily reveal his emotions. He had always been expressionless, and now that he was like this, it showed that this matter really made him sad.
"In fact, I've never thought of occupying a high position in the field of magic. I'm just taking on the responsibility that a person sitting in my position has to bear.
If he told me clearly, I wouldn't be angry, but his behavior is really unacceptable.. "
Was it only Minister Foggy's behavior that was unacceptable?
Jon didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly revealed such a meaning. Because in his scrutinizing eyes, there was a force that tried to directly pierce into Dumbledore's heart and dig out something deeper.
Dumbledore understood his gaze.
Because of this, he felt that he was really old.
"If it were me back then, I wouldn't care about his behavior at all. Because as long as I was still the Legendary Wizard, those little tricks of playing politics wouldn't be able to get any benefits from me. But I myself found that I had changed a little.
"I started to be calculative. I would be angry because of what some people did. I would feel anxious because of some things, and I felt that I didn't have enough time. Later, I thought for a long time and realized that this anxiety was because I felt that I didn't have enough time."
To put it simply, Dumbledore felt that he was about to die.
It wasn't because someone had cast a spell on him that caused irreversible injuries or because he was poisoned. It was just that as an old man, he felt that he was about to die.
At his age and level, he would have some premonition about the time of his death. Just like his old friend, Nico Lemour, the reason why Lemour was so eager to create a real time converter was because he felt that he didn't have much time left.
During this time, Grindelwald was busy searching for something that could prolong Dumbledore's life — at least, that was what he told Dumbledore.
"It's not just that. As the Legendary Wizard, you should have a lot of energy to deal with these things. It's not just because of this matter that caused such a big emotional reaction."
If aging could cause a person's state of mind to change, then there was something else in this world that could cause a similar situation.
That was, unwillingness.
Dumbledore still had one more important thing to do. He had to find a new leader for the Magic Society. This leader definitely couldn't be Foggy because that foolish fellow had been blinded by power. Even if Dumbledore had any thoughts about him before, they were all gone now. And now, it seemed that this person could only be Harry Potter.
"Actually, I feel that you don't have to be so anxious. Even if time is tight, you can still take out one or two years. It takes time to nurture a person, not to mention that you don't only want to nurture one person."
This was because there weren't only three people in Harry's group, but the entire Gryffindor.
It could even be expanded to include the entire Hogwarts, including Slythrin.
"Yes, it takes time for a group of people to grow, and I don't have enough time to accompany them.
Perhaps my expectations of them are too high. After all, I was about the same as them back then. "
"If they can reach one-ten-thousandth of what you were back then, it's already very good."
It was a pity that they were still too young.
Actually, Hermione already had some of Dumbledore's demeanor back then. It was a pity that this child was too sharp and didn't know how to restrain herself.
But Dumbledore couldn't possibly be so frugal with this little bit of time, right?
Jon looked at Dumbledore and vaguely felt that his guess was right.
If there was a chance for Dumbledore to leave reasonably, he would definitely leave faster than Lohat.
It was just that there wasn't such a chance now, and there wasn't a mature successor.
And Dumbledore was already very tired.
