Hermione's Move

Jon's words were always concise, clear, and straight to the point.

He bluntly analyzed the current situation, what the wizards at Hogwarts needed to do, Voldemort's present circumstances, and even revealed a little of the secret behind the whole affair.

His way of handling things made Hermione feel important, at least that was how it felt to her.

"If that's the case, then I can—I can definitely help Harry stay calm. But I'm worried. If we can't learn anything now, how are we supposed to fight Voldemort?"

"Can't learn anything? I don't think that's true. At the very least, you're a very talented Young Wizard. Some magic doesn't necessarily require a teacher to learn. This is a gift I prepared for you."

Jon brushed a hand over his ring and took out a notebook.

This notebook had been inspired by Tom Riddle. That diary could pull a person's soul inside it, but Tom Riddle's diary could achieve that only because it was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. That strange power was essentially an inherent characteristic of Horcruxes.

But the notebook he was giving Hermione now was not like that. It was a very thin booklet, or rather, it had only a few pages. Its primary purpose was neither to store souls nor take lives. It was only meant to answer questions and clear up doubts.

Kaledi had infused the notebook with magic. House-elf magic allowed it to endure for a long time and remain unharmed by outside forces. The instructional magic within came from Jon's own design. Using this notebook, Jon had obtained some of the manuscripts Ravenclaw had stored in her study and preserved within it the educational experience contained in those manuscripts. Simply put, the notebook covered everything needed to train a qualified combat wizard.
