"Of course I can keep a secret, but shouldn't this be a good thing? Why can't we let Neville and the others know? "
"What do you think?"
Jon looked straight at Hermione and didn't say anything.
Hermione was a smart girl after all, and she quickly reacted.
"It's to protect them. After all, they were once tortured by Voldemort's men. If the news of them recovering spreads, Voldemort will definitely not let them go."
"Correct. You see, you can clearly figure out these questions by yourself, so don't ask everything. You are a very smart girl, learning to think for yourself is more important than answering the teacher's questions.
Of course, your intelligence needs to be concealed a little bit, so don't show off too much in class. Just like before, it's best if you answer the questions you should, answer the questions you shouldn't, or pretend that you don't know the things you shouldn't know. "
"But, teacher, you didn't need to bring me here, right? If I shouldn't know these things, why did you tell me? "
"The reason why I brought you here, or let you see these things with your own eyes, is because I don't have a habit of hiding things. I'm not Dumbledore, and I prefer to show you a lot of things directly. No matter how much is said in class, it's not as impactful as direct observation.
Besides, I told you before that I chose you, so you have the right to know all this. "
Because you were chosen, you have the right to know. This kind of words made people feel a little uncomfortable, but Hermione knew that if she still felt uncomfortable with this, then she didn't know what was good for her.
Jon was willing to tell her these things because of trust, but also because of importance.
"But, what if I accidentally spill the beans?"
"You won't spill the beans. I know what kind of person you are, because I have carefully observed you for a long time. Do you think just anyone can become my student?
Dumbledore chose Harry because there was no other way. Harry and Voldemort are connected by fate, and his biggest role is to be the hero in the final battle with Voldemort.
But you're different. I chose you because I hope that you can carry on the results we've achieved and push them to greater heights.
Didn't you ask me why Dumbledore had to die?
In fact, it was the same as the death of Sirius. When we were training a hero, we had to add some elements of sadness because, as Dumbledore often said, the power of emotion was huge. By releasing this power, we could achieve twice the effect with half the effort.
But would Dumbledore really die?
No one could say for sure. It was mainly up to Dumbledore himself. But just like Sirius now, it was the same.
Even if he could survive, he would never appear again …
Sirius, of course, might meet Harry again someday in the future, but Dumbledore was different. He was the legendary Wizard who stood at the top of the world. He had higher goals to achieve and a bigger world to work for.
Besides, I didn't tell you before, but Teacher Grindelwald made a lot of sightseeing plans for him and Dumbledore. "
"So, the rumors are actually true. He really and Dumbledore …"
"In this world, there is no such thing as wind from an empty hole. Even if it's a rumor, there are still some words that give the rumor a clue. Of course, these things are not for you to think about. How the two of them exist has nothing to do with you or me."
Jon didn't want to tell Hermione about the love and hate between Dumbledore and Grindelwald here. She would know about it sooner or later anyway. The reporter, Rita Skeeter, had already started writing the book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore". It was said that the first draft had been read by Dumbledore, and Dumbledore felt that the words in it were not bad enough, so he took it back and asked her to change it.
And these things were all written in the book.
"Okay, I understand. Although it's a little hard to accept, I believe that we are the righteous side.
Since that's the case, there's nothing for me to do. I'm very weak, so I can only do what I have to do now. Teacher, do you have anything else to say? "
"Nothing else, but there's one thing you said just now that's wrong."
Jon smiled and patted Hermione's head, as if he was patting his little sister at home.
"The place we live in is a real world. Even if it's not as big as a world, we still live in a society, and there's no distinction between good and evil in this society.
Not to mention the word 'justice', because everything has its cause and effect. Even Voldemort once had a trace of kindness in his heart.
Who is righteous and who is evil is just a sentence written by the victors.
The reason why I'm here today to tell you these plans, and the content that you have no way of knowing right now.
In fact, it's only because we have the confidence to win that I can find myself a successor in advance. When everything is over, I can throw these responsibilities away.
Just like how Dumbledore threw these responsibilities to me, if Voldemort's power was stronger than what we saw, then there would be more variables in this plan. We would have chosen a more cautious approach, and I wouldn't have found you and trained you so early.
What you need to show and what you really need to do are two different things. You still have a long time in school, so you can actually learn how to be different from what you think. He'll be very helpful to you. "
Hermione carefully noted down these words, and then she spoke again.
"Teacher, I have one last question. Why do you want to do all this?
I know that you're very strong and can use the Snake Voice. No matter what method you use, this must represent your position in the Wizard World. Why do you have to tear down that wall and let the two worlds merge together? "
"Well, of course it's because tearing down the wall is more beneficial to me. In this world, no matter what people do, profit is always the first motivation. I'm also human, so I'm no exception."
He looked at his watch, and it was getting late.
"Okay, grab my arm, I'll take you back."
