Chapter 504: The Future of the Order of the Phoenix (1)
This seemed to be something that everyone was very concerned about. As Siris Black spoke, the eyes of the Order members present immediately focused on Jon Hart, who had just entered the house.
Although they generally did not feel much convincing temperament from this young man... but there is no doubt that he was the successor appointed by Albus Dumbledore, and his opinions played a vital role.
And Jon was not surprised by this question.
"So what do you have to say?" he asked calmly.
"Alastor's suggestion is that it is the same as the last time Voldemort escaped." Remus Lupin answered again: "He suggested that the Order of the Phoenix be dissolved again; if one day Voldemort returns again, we will gather again to fight him and his Death Eaters!"
The crazy-eyed man snorted, agreeing with Voldemort's words.
"That's what you all think?" Jon asked again, his voice extremely calm.
"Isn't the purpose of the Order of the Phoenix in the first place to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters..." As the owner of this small building, Arthur Weasley stood up: "Now Voldemort has escaped, and most of the Death Eaters have been locked up in Azkaban. The rest of the work should be left to the Aurors to complete... We should also return to our normal life..."
"I think you should be Mr. Arthur Weasley!" Jon also stood up and shook hands with the middle-aged man with a bald hair gradually sparse on it: "The person in charge of the Office of the Testing and Confiscation of Fake Defensive Spells and Protective Items under the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic... I have long admired Daming!"
"Oh, I'm honored, Hart... Principal Hart!" Mr. Weasley looked a little flattered.
"Of course, I'm not here to refute your opinions." After shaking hands, Jon continued: "I understand very well, you all want to return to a normal and peaceful life... but before that, there are some things I have to say!"
Jon paused, and then continued to speak: "Do you still remember the scene when Harry and Dumbledore announced Voldemort's arrival two years ago..."
Harry Potter couldn't help but shivered, as if he was recalling the night before.
"...You have mastered the news of Voldemort and the Death Eaters' return at the first time, and the Order of the Phoenix was also reorganized at the first time; very lucky, very lucky." Jon continued: "And what's next?"
"…The Ministry of Magic does not trust Dumbledore, Harry, nor you. They refuse to acknowledge the return of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, who buried their heads in the sand for a year..."
"...The Death Eaters who are accused by you are roaming openly among the top leaders of various magic departments. They have higher prestige, higher influence, and higher power..."
"…As a real organization for justice, the Order can only fight in the darkness, brave unimaginable resistance to compete with the Death Eaters... Honestly, this is a very sad story."
Jon's voice came in a gentle way, and there was silence in the living room where there was not much space.
The members of the Order of the Phoenix were silent. There was no doubt that they all recalled the hardships they suffered and the efforts they put in that year.
...
"That's all...all over!" Alasto Moody spoke, his hoarse voice seemed extremely harsh at this moment: "Although we paid a lot of money, we finally won..."
"Is this really the case? Is everything over? Professor Alasto Moody?" Jon walked forward a few steps, came to the crazy-eyed man, and shook hands with him:
"We won, but lost Dumbledore... Tom Riddle is still alive, weak, but he is indeed alive... One day he will return to Britain, one day we will fight him again, that day, we don't need to wait too long."
"At least, the Death Eaters have been wiped out by us this time." Mad-eyed Moody seemed to be unconvincing Jon's words: "Even if Voldemort returns again, we will not be as embarrassed as we were more than a year ago."
Jon suddenly sneered, as if he was a little sarcastic; this made the crazy-eyed man feel a little unhappy, and the blue magic eye was spinning at a very fast speed.
"The Death Eaters are not just an organization, but a thought." Jon said calmly: "Many pure-blooded wizards hate Muggles and wizards from Muggle-borns. This is not just a simple bloodline discrimination, but because Muggle and Muggle-born wizards have squeezed out their survival resources... so they pick up the weapon of bloodline and they will follow Voldemort!"
"Just like if one of Hydra's heads is cut off, two more heads will be born immediately." Jon continued to explain: "As long as Muggle, the conflict between the wizards from Muggle-born and the pure-blooded wizards is still there. Even if we eliminate some of the Death Eaters, more Death Eaters will be born... If Voldemort returns, he will gather a new group of supporters again."
"At least the Ministry of Magic will not be like before...Foggy and Umbridge are all fools, but Bones and Sclinger are obviously much smarter." This time, Kingsley Shackle spoke, his deep eyes staring at Jon.
Obviously, from Kingsley's perspective, this seemingly young boy looked further than he thought.
"Don't underestimate the stupidity of politicians, Kingsley." Jon walked to Kingsley and patted his shoulder: "Their perspective is different from us, what they think is different from us, and their interests are completely opposite to us..."
"Put Bones and Sclinger into Bones and Umbridge's position, they may do a little better, but there will be no qualitative changes..."
"Because wizards are always repeating the same mistakes..."
...
There was silence, and even if a needle fell to the ground at this time, its sound would be clearly visible.
"So, Jon..." Harry Potter stammered: "You mean... the Order needs to make a change?"
