This was the first time that Jon had seen so many characters from the original work.
Of course, based on the current situation, the original work that he knew might not necessarily be the original work.
Jon felt that there was a certain possibility that this was because of the additional memories in his mind. Furthermore, these memories were things that had been tampered with. They might not be real, but they were very useful.
In the past few years, he had already confirmed that although he did not know whether they were real or not, there were indeed many things in the original work that were reflected in reality. As for the two works that Joanne had already completed, the contents in them — with Jon's help, were more or less the same as the contents in the books that he had read previously.
When the real people appeared in front of him, the feeling of confusion was actually quite strong. Previously, he had only seen a few people. He had only seen the teachers and students in the Hogwarts, so there was nothing strange about it. This was because this was a psychological process that he had long prepared himself for. It was just that this time, there were really too many people in front of him.
The members of the Phoenix Society basically made up 60% or 70% of the important characters in the book. These people all appeared in front of him at the same time, and he had to admit that this scene was quite interesting.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is Jon, our partner, Jon Smith Hufflepuff. He can now be considered a student of the Hogwarts, but in reality, his identity is much more than that. However, there are some things that you should already know, so there is no need to explain too much. Today, I have called everyone here to let you get to know each other. After all, when we are going to face Voldemort, Jon will be a very important person."
Jon did not speak. He only quietly watched as Dumbledore explained his identity. The members of the Phoenix Society in front of him came from different social classes. Due to their different identities, their reactions were also different.
Other than Rank, who was not here, and Snape, who was not supposed to be here, basically all the members of the Phoenix Society were already here. There were faces that Jon was familiar with, faces that he was not familiar with, those that he had heard of, and those that he had never heard of. These people's reactions could be roughly divided into three types.
The first group was able to accept this. Obviously, Dumbledore had already communicated with these people. Jon's existence was not strange to them. It was just that after waiting for so long, seeing him in person made them feel a little refreshed.
The second type was a very ordinary group of people. From Jon's point of view, these people didn't care whether it was Jon or someone else. They were even more interested in Jon's surname than in Jon himself.
This was normal. After all, Jon was just a young student. Even if he was a little stronger, there was nothing special about him.
The fact that this group of people could be chosen to join the Phoenix Society also showed their abilities. There were so many people in this world, so it was not like they had never seen a situation like Jon's.
Ranke was a very young and talented example.
The only special thing was that Dumbledore obviously treated Jon as a collaborator. By collaborator, he meant that his status in the Phoenix Society was the same as Dumbledore's. This was what surprised these members.
After all, Dumbledore's image in their hearts was already so high, while Jon was a stranger who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
This feeling was as if they were working in the same company, and suddenly a young family member of the top management had appeared out of nowhere. As leaders, there were some things that they did not need to be so sensitive about, but after all, these things were still very uncomfortable.
Especially when Dumbledore implied that they still had to listen to Jon's orders. As veterans of the company, it was more or less normal for them to do things like obstructing the new leader.
And their thinking was actually not much different from the third group of people.
But what Jon found strange was that he actually saw Sirius Black among this group of people who were obviously disgusted.
Could it be that Dumbledore did not tell him who had brought him out of Azkaban?
Jon cast an inquiring look at Dumbledore, and then got a definite answer from him.
Sure enough, Sirius Black did not know who had brought him out of Azkaban. Until now, he still thought that he had escaped by himself.
Well, if he did not know, then so be it. Anyway, there would be a chance to explain this matter clearly in the future. In the end, Sirius Black should know about this.
Maybe he would know after he died.
Jon stood up silently and nodded to everyone.
Then Dumbledore continued.
"As for our next action plan, part of it will be made by Jon. I will not participate in this part of the content. You can listen to Jon arrange these things for you. I think that Jon should have the ability to make you accept him."
Is that so? I don't think so myself.
Jon silently watched Dumbledore display his strength. It had to be said that Dumbledore in this state did indeed have all the characteristics of a leader. He was like Grindelwald, who could use a kind of persuasive tone to make people accept what he wanted them to accept.
So in the beginning, the people of the Phoenix Society did not think that Harry Potter was their hope.
But because Dumbledore had instilled such a concept in them, they were all influenced and firmly believed that Harry Potter was the final savior.
It was a pity that Dumbledore had never told them the truth. Only a few people, such as Snape and Jon, knew the truth in the end.
And the truth that Jon knew was not told to him by Dumbledore. It was just that Dumbledore really treated Jon as someone who was on the same level as him. Although he did not say some things, Jon could guess it himself.
He felt that Dumbledore had dug a big hole for him.
After this meeting with the Phoenix Society was over, he had to settle down and properly talk to Dumbledore.
But now, just like what Dumbledore had said, he had to display his ability in front of these people. Only then could he have some influence in the Phoenix Society.
Just like what he had said before, although he was not a person who cared about power, he needed to show some ability to control the power that he might be able to mobilize.
"Then next, I will tell everyone about the plan we are going to execute."
