In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 460: Pre-war Arrangements

"Why would a Durmstrang student be a nun here?"

Hermione asked the question Jon himself had wanted to ask.

To which Helene didn't hesitate and blurted it out with a big grin.

"This isn't just any nun I'm working as, it's an external posting job from The Alliance, a mission, which is the same as an internship. Did you see Sister Lengert just now? She's my internship mentor, and she's also the one who brought me into this church."

Not only was Hermione curious, but Fleur on the side also asked suspiciously.

"So why did you come to the church for an internship?"

At this, Helene just smiled and didn't answer directly, but turned her head to look at Jon.

"Does Professor Green want to know? This matter is something that only our own people can know, only Professor Green is the person trusted by Mr Headmaster, everyone else is not allowed to know about it, except-"

"Not interested."

Jon flatly refused, he really had no interest at all in Grindelwald's plan for the time being, in comparison to his concern about whether or not this old man, who had stirred up the entire magical world before Voldemort, had any intention of returning to his old ways, Dumbledore was more thoughtful than he was sure to be.

And since both of them had maintained close cooperation up to now, without the slightest intention of tearing the veil apart, it meant that what Grindelwald was doing hadn't broken through some kind of lower limit yet.

Dumbledore's bottom line was one of the most trustworthy things, so from the beginning to the end, even if Jon had guessed what Grindelwald was trying to do, he had maintained an attitude of not caring, not probing and not interfering.

The most important thing for them right now was of course still defeating Voldemort.

Helene clearly showed her disappointment in the face of such a blunt answer from Jon.

Jon also had no intention of continuing to stay here for a long time, there was nothing wrong with him having a relationship with these people from the Alliance, with Dumbledore and Grindelwald both looking after him, Jon didn't have to worry about himself getting into trouble at all.

But Hermione and the girls are not the same, unlike Voldemort's Death Eaters, the Alliance has gone through the baptism of two formations and one failure, and their current theories can be said to be much more perfect than the vast majority of other wizard organisations.

So Hermione, Gabrielle or Fleur might be tricked into switching over to their organisations, which was not a good thing for a situation that was still unclear.

Briefly saying goodbye to Helene, they left the church and headed towards the other more famous building in Aarhus, The Concert Hall Aarhus.

It wasn't so much an old one as it in fact a newly built concert hall just a decade or so ago, perfect for those who wanted to relax for a night out these days when entertainment options weren't as plentiful as they should be.

It was just that Jon didn't really know how to enjoy an opera, and he had only accompanied a group of girls over on this trip to have some fun.

But after what happened with Helene, Fleur became even more curious about Jon.

She had been amazed earlier when she heard from Gabrielle who was bragging about Jon being the captain of the Hogwarts ship and the champion as well as the final winner of the Triwizard Tournament.

As one of the best students of Beauxbatons at one time, Fleur naturally knew the gold content of the Triwizard Tournament and was well aware of how difficult it was to win a tournament that Voldemort had taken the initiative to organise, with the venue still being in the enemy's territory.

But even when she thought she had already put Jon in high enough regard, it turned out that he actually still had connections with Durmstrang, and became a professor straight away.

It was a pity that Jon, even at the opera house, had been chatting with Hermione about something she couldn't understand at all, so she couldn't intervene much from start to finish.

And Jon and the others didn't stay in Aarhus for long.

After going to the church and the concert hall on the first day, and experiencing boating on the beach on the second day, Jon and Hermione returned to France with the Delacour family.

It was mainly because the Delacour family was eager to return to their homeland, and on the afternoon of the same day that Jon and the four of them came back from the beach, they returned to France through the Floo network that Witching Horizon had set up in Denmark, with their already packed luggage.

It was just that right after his return, Jon already felt that even though he hadn't been away for only a few days, the atmosphere of the French magical community had all clearly begun to become solemn.

Until today, France has not lifted its wartime status, and all the supplies have been focused on the Witching Horizon's preparation for war.

Mr and Mrs Delacour, who had just returned, could also feel this atmosphere.

Just based on him being Gabrielle's father, he is not really a person who is afraid of death, after returning to France, he immediately joined the Witching Horizon, for everyone in this land knows about the impending war, and doing preparatory work.

Not only Dumbledore, according to his own reasoning, he also thinks that the situation can not be dragged on, and it is necessary to take advantage of this current situation to expand the advantage of winning the Triwizard Tournament. The entire Witching Horizon high-level leaders, in fact, also believe that dragging it on is not beneficial to them.

Because there is a simple truth that everyone understands, Dumbledore is already more than one hundred years old this year. Even if it is not a problem for wizards to live up to two or three hundred years of life in some cases, the centenarian is not enjoying his old age in comfort during these years.

He has to worry about things within the Witching Horizon and also engages in a high-intensity duel with Voldemort, thus exhausting himself, which Voldemort is certainly not afraid of.

From the very beginning when the Hogwarts wagon was in exile in Britain, Voldemort II had been playing with the idea that Dumbledore's life is finite, and as long as it dragged on, then sooner or later he would be able to simmer down this biggest obstacle without any effort.

Now of course everyone else could see this, so it was necessary to end this war while Dumbledore could still fight.

Even though there has been talk amongst the Order of the Phoenix today that Jon will likely be able to take Dumbledore's place in the future, no one can guarantee that this is an absolute thing.

It was also in this atmosphere of preparation for the war that a bit of change was carried out within Hogwarts.

Much like before when the wagon was turned into a ship and forced to leave Britain and go to sea when the fifth years and above were declared graduated to gather their strengths and at the same time reduce the number of professors in charge of teaching.

Before in Britain, they had no choice but to join the Order of the Phoenix whether they wanted to or not, but now they all had a choice.

Any student who graduated from Hogwarts could choose to join the Witching Horizon in preparation for the war they would have to face next in Britain, or they could choose to avoid the war and live in France for a while, or if they were willing to leave, they could decide for themselves whether they wanted to stay or go.

But although there were choices, none of the students who graduated from Hogwarts chose to leave.
