Hermione's Dilemma

"This story began a long time ago. Since it involves Headmaster Dumbledore, I cannot go into too much detail. I mainly want to explain why I came here. I hope you can help me with something—something that will take a very long time, so I must find someone patient and persevering. I think you are a very suitable candidate."

Convincing someone was not an easy thing.

Other than being honest and presenting reasonable arguments, the most effective methods were threats and inducements. But Hermione Granger was a mature and steady girl for her age. If he could not speak plainly, threats and inducements would absolutely be the worst choice.

Because she was not afraid.

Whether one called it having nothing to fear or a newborn calf not fearing a tiger, in any case, this girl had courage. When Jon had read the books before, he had felt that if she had been the protagonist, perhaps the story would not have had so many twists and turns.

Many of the problems in this story stemmed from Harry's childhood experiences, as well as the recklessness and impulsiveness inherent in young boys.

The courage championed by Gryffindor—if Dumbledore had not unconsciously twisted it for so many years—would not have become what it was now.

True courage should have been like Dumbledore when he studied at Hogwarts: sharp in ambition and decisive in letting go, rather than charging ahead recklessly without a second thought.

Acting rashly was, to some extent, simply foolish.

In this age, it was not easy to find a smart person. That was why Jon greatly hoped Hermione could help him. That way, he would have a perfect candidate placed at Harry's side to control the entire course of events.

But no matter what, Hermione had already become a true Gryffindor.
