Everyone had their own reasons for living in this world.
First of all, the world wasn't for charity. It wouldn't give you a perfect life. If you wanted to reach a certain level, you naturally had to bear a certain price.
Grindelwald became a legendary Wizard because he was trapped in the tower for decades. Dumbledore endured his incomparably tiring life and couldn't escape.
Helga stayed in the Realm of Nothingness for more than a thousand years before he found the opportunity to become a God.
Jon ran around, experienced life and death several times, and burned his own life to reach his current level.
As for Voldemort, if one didn't judge his evil deeds and only discussed his humanity, of course, that was under the condition that he had humanity. In fact, he was actually a very pitiful person.
A pitiful person would naturally have a hateful side, and a hateful person would naturally have a pitiful side.
This was a cycle.
But it didn't mean that he wasn't hateful just because he was pitiful.
Some things exist to test whether a world is developing reasonably, and there are many standards for something like 'reasonable'.
No one could say that Voldemort's appearance was unreasonable. In fact, from Jon's point of view, Voldemort's appearance was something that would inevitably happen when the magical society developed to a certain extent. Even if he didn't exist, there would definitely be someone else.
So Jon never bothered about this kind of thing. When doing things according to the trend of the times, as long as he could do it well, it would be a perfect ending.
In addition to the perfect ending, Jon also hoped that his friends and respected elders would be able to live reasonably or have the life and ending that they wanted.
In the past, Jon didn't have much power, but he was able to do that. Naturally, he could do more things now.
However, the first step to doing these things was to convince Dumbledore.
Previously, he felt that this goal might be a little difficult, but now it seemed that with Dumbledore's current state of mind, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Now it seems that Dumbledore wants to leave. As long as he does the last thing he should do and nurture Harry Potter, then his responsibility is almost over.
Now that he had no more responsibilities, he could leave easily. Whether it was by faking his death like Lohat or actually dying, he was not going to stay in Hogwarts anymore.
"We can discuss these things in the long run. There's no need to rush," Jon said after a moment of silence. "If you leave too early, some things will be more troublesome to deal with later."
"That's why I'm sitting here talking to you today. If I leave, will you be able to deal with the rest?"
As expected, he was waiting for him here.
Jon wasn't surprised by Dumbledore's words at all.
After all, ever since he first entered Hogwarts and started learning magic, Dumbledore had several thoughts of making him his successor.
In Dumbledore's plan, there was no need for a specific person, such as Harry Potter, to take over his position. This was because Harry Potter might be the best choice to fight against Voldemort, but it might not be better to use him to lead the Magic Vision.
This was because of Harry's fundamental character.
Relatively speaking, Jon's character was more in line with Dumbledore's requirements for him to be the successor. Unfortunately, Jon had always been unwilling.
It was understandable that Jon's character was similar to Grindelwald's. Worldly power wasn't that important to him. As long as he did what he wanted to do, he would immediately disappear from the world and pursue what he wanted to pursue.
Just like Grindelwald, a failure wouldn't have any impact on him. Back then, Grindelwald wanted to use some violent means to break the barrier between the Magic World and the Muggle Society. After he failed, he gave up on this plan and focused on improving his magic power and realm.
The saying "never put all your eggs in one basket" was probably referring to this kind of person.
Dumbledore, on the other hand, was different. He was the kind of person who put all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, between Grindelwald and the Magical Society, he chose the Magical Society. Between personal feelings and righteousness, he chose righteousness. But this time, the direction he chose was a little different. This time, he chose himself.
Therefore, there was a corresponding change.
"But in my opinion, such a change is reasonable and justified. After all, you have done so much for this world. There's no need to burn yourself clean."
Jon drank the tea in his cup and said to Dumbledore.
"Even if you really decide, it's not something that can be done in a day or two. There's still a long time, and we still have a way to choose a suitable person. Besides, don't we already have a backup choice? I think that little girl who is always with Harry is a good choice. She's very smart."
"You mean Miss Granger? I don't think she's that good. After all, she's still too young and hasn't experienced much. Everything happened in school. Compared to her, your Stephen may be better. "
"Stephen is the guardian of the family chosen by our ancestors. This can't be given away. The Hufflepuff Family won't get involved in these power struggles. We have to maintain our aloof status. Although I'm sitting here discussing these things with you, the Hufflepuff Family won't have real power. These things are meaningless to us."
Dumbledore took a deep look at Jon and laughed involuntarily.
Jon wasn't wrong, but it was meaningless. With strength and an existence like Helga, this family would definitely prosper. Under such circumstances, it would be nonsense to chase after power.
Besides, once one had strength, one's status would come one after another.
"If you think that there's any trouble with the Ministry of Magic, just say the word. My grandmother can still help. Although she has retired for so long, she still has everything she needs."
"That's not necessary. I have my own arrangements for the Ministry of Magic. Connelly won't be able to do anything."
"Since you have a card up your sleeve, that's naturally for the best. Since that's the case, we should be able to reach a consensus, right?"
"Of course. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me directly. Besides, Grindelwald should be back soon."
