Chapter 23: manipulative words of Jonathan stopped Hermione and Neville
The extra 5 hours that he got from the time turner are spent like this every day.
In the night Jonathan did not go out to check anything but he stayed in the common room sitting on one of the big chair near the fire pit reading a book.
On the other big chair Neville is sitting silently as if he was thinking something deeply.
When it was late and the curfew hours are started, Harry and Ron suddenly came down the male dorm rooms.
They are preparing to go to the trophy room to uphold their end of the deal in the wizard duel set between them and Draco.
Jonathan did not lift his head as he read the book during the time without saying a word.
Right then Hermione came out of the female dorms and tried to stop Harry and Ron from breaking the rules.
Neville also moved out of his chair and said a few words to Harry and Ron.
But Ron is like a little devil in the ear of Harry singing the song about the pride of a wizard and the duty to uphold their end of the deal for the duel.
Finally with no choice Hermione and Neville also wanted to tag along if something happens to Harry and Ron.
Right when they were about to leave Jonathan spoke.
“Hermione, Neville it is not good to go out during this time as it breaks the rules.
You can help other people and try to stop them from breaking the rules.
But you should never break the rules by yourself.
It would make the entire purpose of stopping other people useless.
So let them go and you stay back without breaking school rules.
You tried your best to stop them but and that is all you can do within your limits.”
Jonathan said without even looking at them as his face still looks at the book with a strong serenity giving the entire scene a picturesque appearance.
His voice was gentle and smooth and at the same time it is also firm and domineering.
Hermione and others were mesmerized for a few seconds.
Hermione thought what Jonathan said is true, Neville also thought the same.
In order to make his point more Jonathan continued.
‘If you really want them not to break the rules, you can report them to the teacher.
This way they would be reprimanded and they would not think of breaking the rules in the future.
That is the best thing you can do for your classmate from going astray from the righteous path.
If they really wanted a duel then they can always approach their teacher and make an official duel agreement instead of sneaking in the night like thieves breaking the school rules.
As for upholding the wizard’s honor, don’t kid me.
We are still children around 11 to 12 years old.
We are not wizards yet and we should abide by the rules unless you are strong enough to stand at the pinnacle where the rules cannot stop you.”
Jonathan said still looking at the book and with his final words he looked straight into the eyes of Neville and Hermione.
Even now he ignored Harry and Ron as if they are air.
The noble temperament of Jonathan and his words made Hermione blush suddenly.
She decided to not to go with Harry and Ron right now.
Neville also the same as he would not even remember the password to enter back.
So he directly abandoned the thought of going along with Harry and Ron.
Harry and Ron looked at Jonathan with anger, Ron snorted coldly and said.
“Being a pure blooded wizard and the son of a murdered is so cowardly.
Even his father also stabbed the back of the people silently like a coward instead of confronting them face to face.”
Jonathan finally looked towards Ron after the words that Ron spoke just now.
Ron knows that he was out of line.
But the face of Jonathan is not angry.
He just smiled at them, which is very normal and very friendly.
But Ron felt an invisible chill down his spine at that moment.
For him the smile of Jonathan was more deadly than the demon he imagined when he heard those ghost stories.
Harry did not notice this as the entire focus of Jonathan was on Ron.
Ron almost slumped on the ground from fear as his legs gave away.
But Harry pulled him and took Ron out of this Gryffindor common room.
After going out of this place Ron panted heavily and said to Harry.
“Thank you Harry, I felt like I was going to be devoured by a demon.
Even though he was just smiling at us, it felt scary.”
Harry did not answer as he has other thoughts in his mind.
When they came out of the common room the fat lady left for her evening stroll.
So even if they wanted to go inside they would not be able to because there is no one to open the door.
They don’t know that they are being observed by Argus Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris right now.
He did not catch them right away as if he doesn’t want to say the excuse that they accidentally came out and fat lady left before they enter back into the Gryffindor common room.
He wanted to catch them red handed so he silently waited on the side.
On the other hand professor Mcgonagall and professor Snape met in the trophy room for the same reason as to catch Harry and others that might come.
Looking at each other they knows that the matter was told to them by someone.
But neither of them thought that the other party was reported by Jonathan and pushed the blame to Draco subconsciously because Jonathan always acted as a good person.
The white villain would never be doubted by the plot line characters easily because of his character.
