Chapter 31: pity and sympathy are greatest weapons for covering
Harry, however, is looking forward to spending Christmas away from the Dursley's,
Especially because Ron is also staying at Hogwarts, as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are going to visit Ron's older brother Charlie in Romania.
Jonathan is also staying at Hogwarts for the summer because he was not invited back to the Malfoy mansion till the summer break unlike Draco.
Well Jonathan doesn’t care about that.
Draco not only teased Harry but also teased him.
He also said that Jonathan has freeloaded at his house for so long that he should not come back to their house anytime soon.
Many people looked at the entire incident weirdly.
This happened in the great hall and many people realized that Jonathan is also an orphan in a way.
His grandmother is dead; mother is dead there are no other black family members alive or close to him.
His father that he did not even see since birth is in jail.
So there is nothing left for him.
Also he is staying in the house of another person.
Harry that was also the great hall felt Draco as Dudley and Jonathan as Harry in Dursley's house.
He sees himself in Jonathan right now.
At that very moment many of his previous thoughts about Jonathan started to shake violently.
Jonathan never did anything bad to him.
Jonathan never scolded or teased him.
Jonathan tried to indirectly tell him that he should not go out during the dangerous times.
…………
The more he thought about that the more he felt that he was the one that originally wronged Jonathan.
Jonathan never did anything wrong to him.
Also Jonathan was as much as of an orphan just like him living in the house of others.
He realized that he might have really mistaken Jonathan over the time.
Even after all the things he and Ron said and did Jonathan did not say anything to him.
Jonathan never showed him anger either.
While Harry is realizing things, there is another person that realized the things too.
It was Hermione that thought bad about Jonathan.
She now understands why Jonathan tells her not to break the rules.
She thought that Jonathan was punished for breaking the rules in Draco Malfoy’s house making him very particular about breaking rules.
This made her heart tight as she misunderstood him even after he saved her before.
All he did was to tell her not to break the rules the same way she said to Harry and Ron.
Even after saving her life she did not even say thank you to him.
Instead she avoided him more and more.
But Jonathan never said anything to her in both in front of her and behind her back.
Thinking of this she realized that the prediction of Jonathan has come true as she started to hate him without a reason.
Not that she realized is she started to feel the greatness of Jonathan and also guilt for not thanking him before.
On the other hand some professors and others that realized this also have different opinion.
But the most common thing is actually pity.
They pity him.
You know the greatest benefit of a man being pitied is the support of everyone.
Even politicians use the emotions of sympathy and pity on them to with the elections in most of the cases.
They would do many stunts to show that they are pitiful and gain sympathy of the people to make a lasting impression.
At the same time they would show that they are helping many people to gain the support of other voters.
Combining these two they would create a righteous image for themselves and win elections.
But knowing this is not enough one has to learn from this.
If a person can gain the authority to rule and trust of so many people with these simple two things, why Jonathan would let them go.
So he planned the things slowly and purposefully made Draco say those words.
Actually Draco has the habit of saying these words from few years ago.
This was done because of the provocation of Jonathan.
Well Jonathan doesn’t have to work hard as Draco’s original nature is like that.
With the simple plan and right timing and situation Jonathan’s plan to make Draco utter those words was created and succeeded.
When hearing the words of Draco, Harry showed anger.
On the other hand Jonathan did not show any fluctuations.
It is as if he has heard these words many times.
This would deepen the thoughts of others about the suffering of Jonathan more compared to the suffering of Harry.
Well they did not see either of them suffer over the years.
But they just imagined based on the emotions showed by the victims of the same incident.
So Jonathan gained another benefits right now and any and all suspicion that he got during this time would be removed completely.
Even if there are remnants they would be removed by the time the Christmas break is over.
With that thought Jonathan became excited.
He went to Daphne to speak as they met in the place outside the castle beside the lake.
They sat side by side as Jonathan spoke.
“How are thing in the Slytherin.”
“It is fine.”
“Is there anyone that is trying to mess with you there?”
“No”
“That is good.
Have a safe journey back home.
If something happens write to me so that I will take care of it.
Even though I did not have any adults by my side I still have someone to help me take care of a few things….”
They conversed as they sit apart like friends and not like lovers.
Neither of them moved close to each other during their conversation.
She wanted to come close to him.
But being a girl she want to be reserved and did not lose the impression of Jonathan being a lose woman.
Finally their conversation ended and they are about to part ways.
