After circling around, Jon locked his sights on a principal on the left side of the wall.

This principal, and Principal Delis on his left, were both targets chosen by Jon from the very beginning. There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, Principal Delis was an outstanding healer who could not be ignored.

Teacher, and Principal Phineas Black has an extremely ancient family heritage.

It's not that Jon doesn't want to choose older principals, it's just that these principals have either lost a lot of memory because of too long, or their professional fields do not coincide with what Jon is looking for.

The Black family has obviously made great achievements in potions. At least Phineas, the headmaster, loves Snape because of his talent in potions.

"I said, principal, have you noticed that your eyelids are very tense when you pretend to be asleep?"

Jon knocked on Phineas' picture frame and said softly.

A few soft laughs suddenly came from the principal's room. In fact, many principals had woken up from their deep sleep. It's just that pretending to be asleep is something they are usually very good at. When there are outsiders in the principal's room, they always

They were all pretending to be asleep.

It's a pity that this kind of pretending to sleep can't be hidden from others, not Jon. He knows too well what the normal state of these principals is like, and naturally understands what the problem is when they pretend to sleep.

But this behavior is obviously impolite.

Especially for Phineas, what the principal hates most are students who think they are smart. Although Jon is not one of them, he can still get by.

It's just that he didn't dare to have an attack. After all, Helga's presence was still very strong.

Not to mention, the female principals already suppressed him.

So he slowly woke up from the state of pretending to be asleep, and acted surprised by Jon's arrival.

"Oh, little Jon, it's been a long time no see. How's your work going? What's the matter here today?"

"Well, that's right, I do have something to ask you."

Jon looked at Phineas in the portrait with a smile, with ill intentions almost written on his face.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me, but don't expect to get anything casually from the old man. I have always been fair and just, and I must get some benefits."

Phineas put on his cunning look, but he didn't expect that his request would play into Jon's hands.

Jon had never thought about getting things from these principals without giving anything. After all, they were not Dumbledore or Grindelwald, and they had no dealings with Jon.

"Of course I think I can give you a very good offer. What do you think of helping Mr. Sirius Black leave Azkaban?"

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the principal's office immediately became quiet and heavy.

Almost all the portraits of the principals remained silent, but they were all listening to Jon's words.

Because these people all know how irresistible Jon's offer is to Phineas.

But at the same time, helping Sirius Black leave Azkaban is by no means an easy task.

But, does Jon really need to do this by himself?

Jon is the person who is most familiar with the plot of the story. Knowing that Black will escape from Azkaban next year, he hopes to gain some benefits from this matter, even though he has already left by then.

In fact, Jon still has a certain fondness for Sirius, especially his name.

After studying the miracles of ancient Egypt for a long time, he also developed a good impression of the word Sirius. After all, Sirius is very important in ancient Egyptian mythology. All temples are arranged according to the trajectory he traces across the sky.

, even the construction of the tunnels and vents of the pyramid are all to enable the star to be seen during the day. Naturally, Jon also has his eye on Sirius, so he is also optimistic about Sirius.

In fact, the name Sirius has always been passed down in the Black family. Just like Phineas' brother and his son, Sirius of this rank is also highly anticipated by the entire family.

Magical families in the West always attach great importance to honor and inheritance, and Sirius Black, who symbolizes the inheritance of the Black family, not only inherits the name Sirius, but also inherits the bloodline of the entire Black family.

So the fact that he was imprisoned in Azkaban was a great harm to Phineas.

But at least someone is still alive, right?

"what do you want?"

Phineas's voice became serious. It was obvious that the conditions given by Jon really moved him. If possible, he would even provide Jon with a lot of conveniences, but now he is just a portrait.

Apart from what he knew, there was nothing else he could give Jon.

"I want all the formulas for the restoration potions in the ancient magic system that you have stored in your hand. I know you must have them. After all, as the inheritor of the Black family and the principal of Hogwarts, these things are not kept secret from you."

"Oh, Jon, then why didn't you come to me?"

Before Phineas started to speak, Delis beside him attracted Jon's attention.

"Oh, your healing magic is of course very good, but I don't want to learn healing magic. I just need potions, the ones that work as quickly as possible. Do you have the formula there too?"

"Of course she is gone. She is only good at healing magic and is not outstanding in the configuration of potions. I think you should have a chat with me."

At this point, the outcome is actually already determined.

There was no need for any entanglement at all. After Jon made his promise, Phineas passed on some of the potion formulas he knew through magic.

Before this, Jon had never known that portraits were also magical.

So he was very surprised when he saw in the portrait that Phineas pulled out a thread of memory from his own brain and woven it into a piece of cloth.

Doesn't this violate the laws of magic?

But then, the magic he thought came to an abrupt end.

Phineas asked him to use magic to outline a picture frame, and cut two symmetrical corners from the corners of the current portrait and put it inside. After Jon finished all this, there was a picture frame in his hand.
