"I think everyone already knows that Voldemort has come back to life, so I won't go into too much detail. The reason why everyone is sitting here today must be because you have absolute trust in Professor Dumbledore."
Jon had already prepared a plan to start with the topic of Dumbledore.
Dumbledore had an irreversible position in the hearts of the members of the Phoenix Society, so even Jon, who was not so good at manipulating people, knew very well what kind of topic to start with to make others feel more comfortable with him.
Sure enough, when he mentioned Dumbledore, the members of the Phoenix Society showed a lot of interest. And from Jon's perspective, these emotions were actually a good thing.
The Phoenix Society was not his home ground. He was only using the influence that Dumbledore shared with him to try to make the members of the Phoenix Society accept his theory.
However, such an attempt was not an easy thing to do.
This was because the members of the Phoenix Society were not as easily influenced as the students of the Hufflepuff Magic Research Society.
The students tended to be younger and more receptive to new things and theories. Moreover, the mysterious or hot-blooded meaning attached to these theories would stimulate the enthusiasm in their hearts, so it was easier for them to be mobilized.
However, the members of the Phoenix Society were different. They were all adults with a sense of independence, and in their life stories, they had relatively rich experiences.
Take Sirius for example. He even had the experience of being locked up in prison.
These experiences would constantly strengthen their self-awareness of the world. Other than those who had absolute trust in themselves, they would think about the words of others and the content of other people's words.
This also led to the fact that if Voldemort's very tough methods and extreme theories were not used, it was very difficult for adults to accept a new concept.
And this was the problem that Jon was facing now.
As he was relatively young, even with Dumbledore's endorsement of his words and actions, it was very difficult for others to maintain a trusting attitude towards his words, and not a suspicious attitude towards them.
The members of the Phoenix Society trusted Dumbledore very much, and would do their best to support any decision that he made. However, this trust did not mean that they would let Dumbledore casually insert other people into their lives.
Needless to say, Snape was a very good example.
If they had given up their trust so easily, Snape would not have had so many difficult times in the Phoenix Society.
Compared to Snape, what Jon had to do was actually easier. This was because he was not here to join the Phoenix Society. He was just a collaborator, and the idea of a collaborator was to provide strength when it was necessary. This concept was very easy to understand. Simply put, he was an outsider here. He was here to provide some help for the same goal, which was to eliminate Voldemort. As for the other internal affairs of the Phoenix Society, he was not involved in them at all.
Otherwise, the difficulty of what he had to do would be no different from taking over the Phoenix Society.
However, the fundamental difference between the Phoenix Society and the Hufflepuff Magic Research Association was that the Phoenix Society was a relatively loose organization. It was not like the Hufflepuff Magic Research Association, which emphasized the importance of organization.
It was an existence similar to an alliance formed by a group of Wizard, and Dumbledore was the leader of this alliance.
To be precise, everything that the Phoenix Society did was created by the Wizard with Dumbledore as the core to solve problems. The root of these problems was Voldemort, but there were many ways to express them.
And now, with Dumbledore as the fulcrum, there was a member called Jon. Compared to the Wizard who did not have the ability to make decisions, Jon's ability to make decisions was very outstanding and unique.
When it came to making a plan, the difficult part was not how to figure out the context, but how to make the person who carried out the plan follow the content of the plan.
Jon started to review the situation from Dumbledore's point of view. In the past four years, all the executors of the Phoenix Society and the Hogwarts, as well as the Hufflepuff Magic Research Association, had done things that he belonged to.
In this, he hid the traces of Joanne and Rank.
At the same time, Dumbledore also guaranteed the secrecy of this meeting. Among the members of the Phoenix Society, those who were not very pure of heart were not qualified to participate in this meeting. Dumbledore also used his ability as a legendary Wizard to add magic to this meeting.
Dumbledore needed to ensure the safety of Jon and the Hufflepuff Magic Research Association.
This was because the Phoenix Society was only dealing with Voldemort, while the Magic Research Society was an organization they were preparing for after Voldemort. If the Magic Research Society was affected in the process of overthrowing Voldemort, then the losses would outweigh the gains.
Dumbledore knew that there were some people in the Phoenix Society who were not very pure of heart. Sometimes, these people could be used, but he could not let them know too much. As a qualified person in power, Dumbledore knew very well how to test people's hearts.
And this was also the reason why Jon did not hesitate to talk about his part in the meeting with the Phoenix Society. Since he had decided to expose his existence in front of people, some things had to be said.
Things that were hidden could make people feel the same way.
So after Jon revealed some secrets, the members of the Phoenix Society were obviously more interested in what he had to say.
And this was very helpful for what he was going to say next.
"What we need to do now is to let our Mr. Potter grow up as soon as possible. He is facing a very serious situation. Although Voldemort views the headmaster as a mortal enemy, the most dangerous thing for him is the inexplicable connection that Mr. Potter has with him.
And the forces we can mobilize are not much. Azkaban's Dementors and Voldemort are natural allies. Once the Ministry of Magic is on Voldemort's side, there will be less and less things we can do. And before the situation deteriorates to the worst that we can expect, we need to nurture Harry into someone who can face these things alone. "
And the most important person to carry out this plan was …
"Mr. Sirius Black, in view of your importance in the next part of the plan, I was wondering if I could have a more private conversation with you later?"
