Sirius didn't understand why he was asked to stay behind. Of course, this was understandable because this was his home. Even if Jon didn't say so, he would have stayed behind alone in the end. However, Jon pointed it out so clearly during the meeting, which made him feel a little troubled.
In this world, having less things wasn't the scariest thing. An unbalanced distribution would make people feel uncomfortable.
Even when doing things, it would make people seem closer to each other. Although the members of the Phoenix Society didn't care much about this matter, it definitely didn't feel good to be kept in the dark when there was clearly something going on.
"Are you worried that they have other ideas?"
Jon asked Sirius Black, who was beside him, as they walked along the corridor of Grimoire Square No. 12.
To be precise, Jon actually didn't like the layout of the Black family's house. He preferred places where there was light, and not this kind of dark and gloomy scene. The places where he lived, whether it was the Biro Manor, the Yang Manor, or even the house in Greenwich, all followed his preference and had to be brighter.
"This is indeed not very appropriate. You could have just waited for them to leave and come to me directly. Why did you have to say it in public?"
"Sometimes, an appropriate collision is beneficial to you to extract yourself from the current situation. Besides, your relationship with them isn't very good."
Jon didn't respect Sirius at all because he didn't have much to respect. To put it bluntly, Sirius Black didn't have much of a role in the original work, and he didn't have deep feelings for this character.
He wasn't as important as Dumbledore, and he wasn't as close to him as Grindelwald.
"There are some things that I think I should tell you secretly. After all, it's not good to say it in front of others. The fact that you left Azkaban actually has nothing to do with you.
You were able to leave because of a deal I made with your ancestor. "
Jon stopped in his tracks and stood in front of the portrait of Phineas. He gently knocked on the frame of the portrait. As he had just come directly from Dumbledore's office to Grimoire Square, Principal Phineas was now here.
"Mr. Principal, aren't you going to come out and say something to your juniors?"
Phineas emerged from the portrait, but he didn't say anything. Even though he was in the portrait, he could feel the awkwardness of the situation.
"Why are you looking for me? Just tell him directly. You don't have to tell me about this. "
Phineas obviously didn't want to appear in front of Sirius. Although he still cared about his juniors, Sirius didn't seem to care about him at all. Because of this, it was a good trait to not be disliked.
At Phineas's age, he could no longer be considered alive. Of course, at his age, he only cared about his descendants. As long as his family was stable, he had no other goals.
Therefore …
Whether Sirius was disrespectful to him or not, from the perspective of a family elder, he would definitely rescue Sirius from Azkaban.
A dead elder like Phineas wouldn't care about offending his juniors. Therefore, it didn't matter whether Sirius was respectful to him or not.
"I think that after staying in Azkaban for so long, Mr. Blake should have matured a lot. He should be able to shoulder some responsibilities. So, what's the matter that you can't say directly?"
Jon didn't have any intention of bringing the two of them together. He just wanted to use this to tell Sirius what he should do as an elder.
Sirius's family was very problematic. As he was the only Gryffindor in the Blake family, he couldn't express his feelings clearly. He just wanted to take on a responsibility to be good to Harry. However, being good to someone and having a sense of responsibility were two different things.
Seeing that Sirius didn't have anything to say to Phineas, Jon spoke up.
"Forget it. Anyway, you have plenty of time to talk about this in the future. You just need to know that it was Principal Phineas who asked me to get you out. If you have any doubts, you can ask Dumbledore. I still have some things to say to you."
"About your teaching of Harry … I hope you can teach him like a real father."
"This is the most crucial step, as well as the most difficult step.
If we want this plan to be carried out smoothly and reasonably, we have to solve the problem with Harry. The problem with him is that he can't shoulder what he has to shoulder.
In this world, whether it's a mother's love or a father's love, it's not something that's innate. What's truly innate is the behavior of children seeking attention and protection from their parents. Under this trend, parents have to constantly learn and become competent parents.
However, from the perspective of parents, Mr. and Mrs. Potter are obviously not qualified. They did protect their child, but they left this world too early. I don't know why they were so persistent and stubborn. If they had chosen to hide under Dumbledore's protection from Voldemort, I don't think this would have happened. However, there's no use in regretting it in this world. Since things have already happened, the living have to do their best to remedy it.
He lacks a suitable guide. This guide must be capable enough to bring out the reliable side of him. However, ability is secondary. The most important thing is relationship.
There's no more suitable role than parents. Unfortunately, Harry's parents have already passed away, so this role needs to be played by you. After all, you are his godfather, so it's reasonable for you to do this kind of thing.
The reason why I'm telling you this today is to tell you that you are a very good friend, but not a very good father. So you should consider how to be a father, or rather, how to be a qualified elder who doesn't spoil his child too much. I think Principal Phineas would be very willing to teach you. "
Jon blinked, looked at Sirius, and said briskly.
"So, Mr. Blake, regarding this matter, I think you should have a better way to think about it. Then I don't need to say more, right?
I think there's no one more suitable than you to do this, and with your ability, you should be able to do this well.
Think about it carefully. If it's convenient, you can directly tell Dumbledore about this matter. He should also want to see changes in you. "
