Chapter 32 Choice
It was not too early, and Honeydukes, which was usually crowded with Hogwarts students, had already fallen into break time, but Jon could still see the shelves in the store, which were filled with children.
A variety of candies that you will love.
Pieces of peanut brittle, various chocolates and puddings were neatly stacked on the shelf, and various drinks were placed opposite.
However, the door of this store has been closed.
"You can't get out through the door, but you can still get out through the windows."
Jon glanced at the window that was blown open by the wind, wrapped himself in a cloak, and climbed out from the window sill.
It's just that he ignored that his height was actually not quite enough, and he almost fell when he turned out.
After running a few steps, Jon dodged to the back of a house, tapped his wand, and lifted the spell from his body.
When he came out of the tunnel just now, he ignored the Illusion Curse that he had held for an hour. The magic power in his body had already reached its bottom. The Illusion Curse just now almost caused him to lose control of his body when he climbed out of the window.
"You should exercise your body, otherwise once you overdraw your magic power, you won't be able to hold on anymore."
Jon shook his head to make his aching head feel a little better. The damp wall he just leaned on made his hands and feet cold.
"Alas...it was a miscalculation."
He touched the ring on his hand, took a mint candy from it and stuffed it into his mouth. The coolness coming from his mouth finally suppressed the coldness on his body.
Only then did Jon feel that he had regained some energy.
"Fighting poison with poison is not a good idea, so it should be used sparingly in the future."
Jon leaned against the wall weakly, staring blankly at the shadow opposite.
This was the first time he saw the village of Hogsmeade. It was much more prosperous than the description in the book. Even though it was already night, he could still tell that it was different during the day.
It is indeed the most prosperous place in the British wizarding world, with top universities next to it, and the economic conditions are indeed much more convenient.
It is easy to do business next to a school, which is another principle that is common all over the world.
…
After gathering his wizard robe, Jon slowly walked along the wall along the street.
The tranquility here is different from the tranquility of Hogwarts Castle. It is much more pyrotechnic and not as academic as inside the castle.
There is no curfew in Hogsmeade. If any dark wizard sneaks in here at this time, no one will be able to find it.
Although the buildings on both sides of the street are a bit old-fashioned, they are still in the Muggle architectural style, making it easy for people to feel like they are visiting a medieval town.
After all, wizards are born out of Muggles, but they are still essentially human.
Speaking of which, the economic war in the human world has already started, but there is still no movement in the British wizarding world. This is really a strange thing.
Jon didn't think his reasoning was wrong, he felt there was something wrong with the vigilance of the British wizarding community.
If the war were to start again, the German wizards who had absorbed the previous experience would definitely choose to gather in secret rather than be exposed.
Throughout Europe, after a war had already occurred, the winner of the last war naturally became the target of the next war.
The high-ranking officials at the Ministry of Magic, who are living in idle positions and dreaming of stability all day long, are not willing to believe in the possibility of war breaking out again, especially the newly appointed minister, whose behavior is really beyond complaining.
Jon shook his head, this world has always been like this, history is always surprisingly similar.
During the World War, it was not until Churchill came to power in British politics that people saw clearly that war was inevitable.
In the original book, when Voldemort was reborn, the Ministry of Magic also didn't believe it, and even carved "I can't lie" on Harry's arm.
This is really a... boring game.
Jon likes magic, but he hates war. A scholar should stay in the laboratory and do his own knowledge, and leave professional things to professionals.
It's like, a very realistic question that Jon has thought about.
In his own world, he is the protagonist, and he is free to do whatever he wants.
But in the world of Harry Potter, Harry Potter is the protagonist.
In his previous life, he read fan fiction. The protagonists who traveled to various worlds each took advantage of their foreknowledge of the plot to change the world line into an ending that was completely different from the original plot.
The stories written by those authors were very interesting, but Jon didn't agree with this approach.
Of course he can show his outstanding talents and go to Gryffindor or Slytherin when he is sorted. Of course, he may not meet his ancestors, but that doesn't matter, as long as he is good enough.
, this matter will be discovered sooner or later.
Then he can help Dumbledore change the progress. He doesn't need Harry Potter to live so safely anymore, and he doesn't need to give him so much training. He just needs to destroy all the Horcruxes first, and then find a way for Voldemort to use them.
Harry's blood is resurrected, plus the protective spell left by Lily Potter, so that as long as Voldemort does not die, Harry will not die. He only needs to be cruel and turn Harry Potter into a tool.
Gain fame, status, power, etc.
As long as he wants it, as long as he is cruel, he can get it.
And is it really that difficult for someone who has already died once to be cruel?
not at all.
Jon knew very well that this question was not difficult at all, it was just a matter of choice.
Who wouldn’t choose one of the two choices?
Jon could, so he chose the latter.
It is certainly a good choice to use your advantages to do things. As long as you do it well and achieve the result that everyone wants, everyone will be happy. Only Harry Potter, who is being used as a tool, does not seem to be too happy.
That's what Jon cares about.
He used to really like the story of "Harry Potter", the people in these stories, the protagonists and supporting characters, and he didn't particularly dislike the Slytherins who appeared as villains.
People's likes are very precious, and this conveyed emotion is the connection between people and the world.
So Jon made plans for himself early on. Since he can rely on his own abilities to become the person he wants to be, there is no need to change the fate of others, or even live in other people's lives.
Otherwise, what was his previous love for this story and the characters in these stories?
Jon thought like this when he returned to Hogwarts from Honeydukes' secret passage.
He may, by being a prophet to this world, change some small things, but he will never become a new "savior."
Leave all the grudges to Harry Potter, and he, Jon, just wants to be Jon.
This is his choice.
(Author's note: The content of this chapter is not so much Jon's choice as it is my original intention. I often read a lot of fan fiction. The protagonists are all excellent. They use their golden fingers to change the appearance of the world.
The protagonist in the original story was turned back into a nameless state. Is this really right? We like a story because we like the life that the protagonist has experienced. As a result, one day someone will have the opportunity to become the protagonist in the world.
Isn't it ridiculous that a person uses his own understanding to destroy the life that originally belonged to the protagonist? I know that there are many readers who only pursue their own pleasure in reading books, because I used to be such a person, but I am writing
At the very beginning of this book, I thought about what kind of story line to arrange for the protagonist. It is certainly an easy task to replace the original protagonist, and it is also easier to write. Changing the original plot is another wonderful story.
story, and then I gave up the idea, so Jon finally chose a new beginning, and the savior still went to save his world. If my readers are disappointed with this choice, then I want to say sorry,
After all, I am just an ordinary person and cannot take into account the thoughts of all readers. It is my fault to disappoint everyone, but I still hope that everyone likes this story. This passage is very important to me, so I posted it in the article.
