Volume 7: A World with Bad Consequences Chapter 459 Pre-War Arrangements
"Why would a Durmstrang student be a nun here?"
Hermione asked the question that Jon himself wanted to ask.
Hailin did not hesitate and said it out loud.
"I am not an ordinary nun. I am an outposted member of the Witch Party, which is equivalent to an internship. Did you see Sister Longert just now? She is my internship mentor and it was she who introduced me to this church."
Not only Hermione was curious, Fleur beside her also asked in confusion.
“Then why do you want to come to the church for internship?”
This time, Hailin just smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Jon.
"Does Professor Green want to know? This is something that only our people can know. Professor Green is the only person the principal trusts. No one else can know."
"Not interested."
John flatly refused. He really had no interest in Grindelwald's plan for the time being. Compared to him, he was worried about whether this old man who had stirred up the entire wizarding world earlier than Voldemort had any intention of returning to his old business. Dumbledore must have thought more carefully than he did.
And since the two of them have maintained close cooperation until now and have no intention of breaking up, it means that what Grindelwald is doing has not crossed a certain bottom line.
Dumbledore's bottom line is the most trustworthy thing, so even if John guessed what Grindelwald wanted to do from beginning to end, he always maintained an attitude of indifference, non-exploration and non-interference.
Of course, their most important task now is to defeat Voldemort.
Faced with Jon's straightforward answer, Helene was obviously disappointed.
John no longer had any intention of staying here for long. It didn't matter that he had a relationship with the Witch Party. With Dumbledore and Grindelwald looking after him, John didn't have to worry about anything happening to him.
But Hermione and the others are different. Unlike Voldemort's Death Eaters, the Wizarding Party has gone through two formations and one failure. Their current theory can be said to be much more perfect than that of most other wizarding organizations.
Maybe Hermione, Gabrielle, or Fleur were deceived, which would not be a good thing considering the current unclear situation.
After saying goodbye to Helin briefly, they left the church and walked towards another famous building in Aarhus - Aarhus Concert Hall.
This is not an antique, but a concert hall that was newly built more than ten years ago. In this era when entertainment options are not so abundant, it is the best choice for those who want to relax.
It’s just that Jon doesn’t really know how to appreciate an opera, so this time he just came here with a few girls to join in the fun.
But after what happened with Helene, Fleur became even more curious about Jon.
She had already been surprised when she heard Gabrielle bragging that Jon was the captain of the Hogwarts, a warrior in the Triwizard Tournament, and the final winner.
As one of the most outstanding students of Beauxbatons, Fleur naturally knew the importance of the Triwizard Tournament. She also knew how difficult it was to win the championship in a competition that Voldemort had proactively proposed to hold, especially on the enemy's territory.
But even when she thought she had thought highly enough of Jon, it turned out that he had connections with Durmstrang and was directly promoted to a professor.
It was a pity that even at the opera house, Jon was still chatting with Hermione about topics that she couldn't understand at all, so she couldn't get a word in from beginning to end.
Jon and his friends didn't stay in Aarhus for long.
After visiting the church and concert hall on the first day and going to the beach to experience sailing on the second day, Jon and Hermione returned to France with the Delacour family.
The main reason was that the Delacours were eager to return home, so on the afternoon when John and the other three returned from the beach, they took their packed luggage and returned to France through the Floo network set up by the Witch Line in Denmark.
Just after returning, Jon felt that he had not been away for a few days, but the atmosphere in the French magical world had already begun to become obviously grim.
To this day, France has not yet lifted the state of war, and all supplies have been focused on preparing for war on the Wuping Front.
The Delacour couple who had just returned could also feel this atmosphere.
Just talking about Gabrielle's father, he was indeed not a coward. After returning to France, he immediately joined the Wizarding Front and made preparations for the upcoming war that everyone in this land knew about.
Not only did Dumbledore think, according to his own reasoning, that the situation could not be dragged on and that he had to take advantage of the victory in the Triwizard Tournament at the beginning of this year to expand his advantage, but the senior leaders of the entire wizarding world also believed that dragging the situation on would not be good for them.
Because everyone understands the simplest truth: Dumbledore is over a hundred years old this year. Even if a wizard can live to two or three hundred years old, it is not a problem. But this centenarian has not been enjoying his old age over the years.
He not only has to take care of things in the Wizarding World, but also has to engage in a high-intensity duel with Voldemort. If this goes on, Voldemort will definitely not be afraid.
From the very beginning when the Hogwarts carriage was exiled in England, Voldemort No. 2 had been thinking this way. Dumbledore's life was limited , and as long as it was dragged on, sooner or later he would be able to easily outlast this biggest obstacle.
Now of course everyone else can see this, so this war must be ended while Dumbledore can still fight.
Even though there are rumors in the Order of the Phoenix that John may very well replace Dumbledore in the future, no one can guarantee that this is an absolute certainty.
It was in this atmosphere of preparation that some changes were made in Hogwarts.
Just like the carriage that was transformed into a ship and forced to leave England and go to sea, in order to concentrate resources and reduce the number of professors in charge of teaching, students above the fifth grade were declared graduated.
Before in Britain they had no choice but to join the Order of the Phoenix whether they wanted to or not, but now they have the power to choose.
All students who graduate from Hogwarts can choose to join the Wizarding World and prepare to participate in the next war against Britain, or they can choose to avoid the war and temporarily settle in France. Or if they are willing to leave, they can decide for themselves whether to stay or go.
However, although there was a choice, no student graduating from Hogwarts chose to leave.
