Chapter 201 "New York Sanctum"

"Jerry, why did you stop?"

After walking for a while, Belle found Jerry was gone, looked back and saw him standing still behind in a daze and some doubts.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot." After Jerry reacted, he replied and followed immediately.

Regardless of whether that house is related to Kamar Taj, it is unsuitable for an investigation now. After shopping until around seven or eight in the evening, they found a restaurant on Bleecker Street and had a sumptuous dinner. Today's outing plan is completely over.

Back home, the three, who had been shopping for a day, were exhausted and returned to their rooms. After taking a shower, Jerry also returned to his room.

Jerry has been thinking about the house with powerful magic fluctuations that he found today. He thinks that it is very likely that it is Kamar Taj's sanctuary in New York. If it is really the New York Sanctum, does he want to go for it?

After thinking about it all the way, he finally decided to write down the house number and not go there to find out for now.

According to Odin, Kamar Taj is currently the most powerful magician's organization on Earth, and its leader, the Sorcerer Supreme, is even more powerful. Although Jerry needs Kamar Taj's endless magic books, considering his current strength, he thinks it's better not to approach him too hastily.

After all, his wizard is different from the mystic mages in this world. He uses his own magic power to cast magic. At present, he has not fully grasped the magic of the three worlds. He has not learned many magic, and he does not have much energy and time to add a new system of magic.

Wait until his strength is stronger, and when he needs more magic knowledge to improve himself, then tentatively contact Kamar Taj.

"It's almost time to cross." Temporarily putting aside his thoughts about Kamar Taj, Jerry opened the panel, ready to go through.

In fact, more than a month ago, the cooling down time had ended. However, at that time, he hadn't fully mastered the Sealing Magic, so he temporarily extended the time to enter the world of "Harry Potter".

Sealing Magic is currently the best way to deal with Voldemort, and it is also the magic he will use when entering the "Harry Potter" world this time, so it is best to fully grasp it before entering.

During this time, he and Thor went to Asgard twice, focusing on sorting out the magic of Asgard again.

He enters the world of "Harry Potter" this time is to improve his own system in order to deal with the real crisis that will appear next.

Although Loki was imprisoned in the Asgard dungeon for his reasons, according to his thinking, even without Loki, Thanos would send other people to Earth to execute his plan. At that time, facing a large army of aliens, if he is not strong enough, it will still be very dangerous.

The key point is that the only plot advantage he knows about the first Avengers is gone in this situation, and everything that happens later is also unknown to him. If Thanos comes over directly at that time, it will be over.

During this period of time, in addition to learning Sealing Magic, he also spent a lot of time riding a Thestral to clean up the crime situation in New York and even surrounding cities. The purpose is to earn more red stars so that he can stay in the world of "Harry Potter" for a while this time, so as to improve his overall strength.

Pressing the panel's travel button, Jerry opened his eyes again and returned to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley.

Because he only stayed in the world of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" for 50 days, there is still more than half a month before the start of the next semester at Hogwarts.

"There are so many!" As soon as he appeared in the room, Jerry was shocked by the hundreds of letters on the table in front of his window.

When he opened it, he found that they were all greeting letters from school classmates, including Hermione's, Ron's, Neville's, Daphne's, Malfoy's, and so on. Most of them described their summer vacation life, asked about training in the national Quidditch team, and invited him to come to his house when he was free.

Ron's letter mentioned that he and his two brothers drove his father's magic car to rescue Harry from his aunt's house two days ago and invited him to live in the Burrow.

Hermione asked him to go to Diagon Alley next Wednesday to buy textbooks for the second grade.

There is also a letter from the school that informs the second grade of the textbooks to be bought and the time to go to school. When Jerry saw that Lockhart wrote seven books in the letter, he couldn't help but shake his head.

He suddenly remembered that the New Year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher seemed to be this Lockhart who could only cast the Oblivion Charm, a liar wizard who stole the experience of other wizards. Its own magical ability may not even be as good as a second-year wizard.

"It seems that if I have time, I have to deal with this guy first." Jerry didn't want his Defense Against the Dark Arts class to become a completely meaningless drama class.

"I didn't expect that even when I am no longer in this world, and the location searched by the owl is still here." Jerry originally thought that he had disappeared from this world for nearly two months. If someone sent him a letter, the owl should not be able to find his place.

Now it seems that even if he is not in this world, the owl still regards the place where he disappeared as the last place. Think about it too. It wasn't the same way during the Christmas holidays.

"August 6th, huh." After looking at the date, Jerry ended up replying to every classmate who wrote to him.

The Hogwarts holiday was in mid-June when Jerry returned to the main world directly after renting a room at the Leaky Cauldron. Fifty days have passed in the world of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", and fifty days have passed in the world of "Harry Potter", so now the calendar shows that the time is August 6th.

School starts on September 1st, so he still has more than 20 days to do other things.

The next day, Jerry sent all his replies through the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley and then left Diagon Alley after saying hello to Tom.

Taking the subway to King's Cross Station, Jerry did not enter platform Nine and Three Quarters but bought a normal ticket like a normal person. Because he is not going to Hogwarts but to the coastal side.

Chapter 202 "Heading To Place Cachée Again"

During the twenty days before school started, Jerry didn't plan to spend all of it in Diagon Alley but planned to go to Place Cachée or The French Street again.

However, because he has traces on his body, he cannot cast magic in places other than the gathering places of British wizards, and he cannot take a plane without a passport.

In fact, he could go directly from London to France on a Thestral, but London is the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, so it would be troublesome if he accidentally bumped into other wizards. Therefore, it is safer to choose the means of transportation for ordinary people.

On a certain coastline near the sea in Hastings, Jerry released Heitan, rode it across the Strait of Dover, and came to France. After casting a Disillusionment charm on Heitan and himself, each of them flew in the direction of Paris.

Heitan's flying speed was super fast, and in less than half an hour, he came to the sky above Paris. Falling on the famous pedestrian street in France, he put away Heitan and cast the Illusion Magic, and Jerry turned into an old man with a cane, wearing a suit, and full of luxury.

Strolling to the center of a passage on the left side of the street, where a rectangular stone pillar stands firmly, and a half-naked Greek girl is carved on the stone pillar.

Jerry stepped forward to hold the girl's hand to input some magic power, and the stone girl moved immediately, revealing a stone door under her body that could allow one person to pass through. Pushing open the stone door, when he came out again, he had already arrived at Place Cachée once again.

Last time, he followed the Quidditch team and directly used the Floo powder from the French Ministry of Magic to reach Place Cachée. He went through the normal entrance this time.

After entering Place Cachée, Jerry didn't go shopping but first found a hotel to live in because he would probably live here until Hogwarts started.

This time Jerry came to Place Cachée for the black market, not for magic items, but to see if he could buy some magical animals with good abilities or their eggs through the black market.

Now that he has learned Contract Magic, although he still cannot contract tens of thousands of magical animals, it is not a big problem to contract a few. It's just that if he wants to buy some powerful and dangerous magical animals, it must be impossible through formal channels.

So he thought of the black market in France. It would be great if he could buy magical animals more aligned with his wishes. If not, buying some good magic items would not be a loss. In France, there is no Trace, and he has no problem using magic as he wants.

"One room, please." Jerry came to the hotel's front desk on crutches, took out a bag of Galleons, and put them on the table.

The goblin standing on the front desk chair looked at the bag full of gleaming Galleons on the table and immediately raised his head with a flattering face and responded, "At your service."

As he spoke, he jumped off the chair and took Jerry upstairs himself. Unlike the slave-like living status of house elves, goblins with similar looks are the only wizarding world that can compete with human wizards.

It's not that they are so powerful, but that they almost control most of the economic lifeline of the entire wizarding world. Gringotts, the only bank in the wizarding world, is basically controlled by a race of goblins and behind many shops in Place Cachée.

They are very good at making precious special metals and silverware. The Gryffindor sword, which can kill Basilisks and absorb Basilisk venom for infinite strengthening, was made by the most powerful goblin king in the Middle Ages.

But even so, in terms of hard power, they still couldn't compete with average wizards. Several goblin rebellions launched in history were all quelled by wizards effortlessly.

Following the goblin to the room, Jerry closed the door and jumped into the suitcase. At this time, the space of the suitcase has been expanded by five times compared to before under the continuous expansion of his Extension Charm.

Moreover, some time ago, he flew to the suburbs of New York to become a businessman, bought a large number of cattle, sheep, and various livestock, and put them in the fence.

At present, it is mainly for Norbert and Heitan. As for Crookshanks, one fish is enough for him.

After three months of growth, Norbert's size has grown again. Although he can't fly yet, he can already flop around and stay in the air for tens of seconds. Jerry felt it might have stayed longer if it hadn't been so fat.

The flames emitted by Norbert are no longer small but real flames with thick black smoke. The power is quite good. The main reason is that it covers a very wide area from a high position, like an Area of Effect type of attack.

However, Jerry has issued an order to keep it safe from breathing fire in the suitcase to avoid accidentally burning the Villa down.

After studying magic in the suitcase for several hours, it was estimated that it was already dark outside, so he left the suitcase and quietly walked out of the hotel where he was temporarily staying.

The black market must only be available at night.

It's still the familiar bar entrance and the familiar portrait of a dancing French witch in a long skirt. Just in case, Jerry adjusted his appearance again with the Illusion Spell and walked into the bar, which was still very lively.

It seems that the arrest of the Aurors last time did not frighten these wizards. Since this bar is open here, and even the Aurors know clearly that there is a black market under this bar, many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

It is estimated that in many cases, the arrest of Aurors is just a warning. Just like last time, because the Quidditch Tournament was being held, the French Ministry of Magic didn't want any of them to appear at that time.

Walking towards the stairs leading to the black market, before the wizard on the stairs could react, Jerry had already snapped his fingers quietly, "Confudo!"

Immediately, the eyes of the wizard guarding the stairs became confused.

Confundus Charm is a charm that confuses a person or bewitched object, and when he woke up, he would only think that he had dozed off.

After Jerry had entered the basement floor, the wizard guarding the stairs woke up and scratched his head in doubt, "What happened to me just now? Am I sleepy?"

Chapter 203 "The House Elves"

Passing through the black market trading area, Jerry leaned on crutches and walked to other areas that he had not set foot in last time. However, he turned around but didn't see any stalls selling magical animals or eggs. It seemed that this black market did not provide this service.

Jerry didn't give up. Since Quirrell was able to buy dragon eggs to trap Hagrid, it meant that there were definitely some sales of prohibited magical animals in the black market, but he couldn't find a way.

With a thought in his heart, Jerry walked slowly to a slightly remote stall in the corner, pointed at the unshaven middle-aged stall owner, and quietly released the Imperius Curse.

"Do you know where illegal magical animals are sold on the black market?"

"You need to go to Heaton to buy magical animals." The happiness on the face of the middle-aged stall owner under the Imperius Curse.

"Who's Heaton?" Jerry continued.

"Heaton, that wizard standing at the top of the stairs… Hearing the stall owner's explanation, he probably figured out what was going on.

It turns out that the black market for magical animals is not here. But in a hidden place in the suburbs of Paris. After all, many magical animals are quite large and very aggressive, and it will be very troublesome if something goes wrong.

The Ministry of Magic may turn a blind eye to contraband, but it will never allow dangerous magical animals to appear on Place Cachée. Therefore, if you want to go there, you must either know the location or go to the wizard named Heaton at the door.

After releasing the control of the Imperius Curse, Jerry used Obliviate to erase the memory of the stall owner just now and then walked towards the wizard named Heaton at the stairs.

"I want to buy some magical animals and wonder if you can take me there." Jerry didn't use the Imperius Curse this time but took out a bag of shining Galleons.

The stall owner just said that as long as he shows enough money, this wizard named Heaton will not care about Jerry's identity and will take him there directly.

Sure enough, although the wizard had some doubts about when Jerry entered the black market below, after seeing hundreds of Galleons, he immediately smiled and led Jerry to the compartment behind the bar.

"Sir, hold this bottle. It will take you where you want to go."

Jerry glanced at the wine bottle and knew that it must be a Portkey to somewhere. So he reached out and held it without hesitation. The space distorted for a while, and his body was instantly sucked into the wine bottle and disappeared.

When he landed again, he was no longer in the bar on Plache Cachée, but appeared in a big tent. This big tent should be the same as his suitcase, expanded by the Extension Charm, and it is as big as five or six football fields.

Inside, you can see many kinds of magical animals that are locked up, as well as wizards who wear hoods back and forth and hide their identities.

"Diricawl, a rare bird species that is about to become extinct, the highest price wins!"

"Trolls, the cubs of the mountain trolls. If trained well, they will be good troll security guards!"

"A small Acromantula. You will have an inexhaustible supply of venom when you grow up!"

The entire tent was filled with shouts of wizards, one after another. Seeing this, Jerry didn't waste any time, and began to search carefully in the tent.

Unfortunately, after he visited half of the tents, he couldn't find any suitable magical animals. Most of the magical animals he has seen so far are of XX or XXX level, and there are very few magical animals of XXXX level, let alone XXXXX level.

With his current strength, the number of magical animals that can be contracted is limited. Of course, he must choose the magical animal that is more helpful to him. It was like a Diricawl bird; it was cute and fluffy but completely useless to him.

Like giant monsters, their strength is good, but their brains are not good, and the price/performance ratio is extremely low. If the number of them increases in the future, he can go to some forests where giant monsters gather and catch some later on his own.

As for the Acromantula, it's quite good. Its IQ is no lower than a human, and its venom is also very valuable.

However, there are many things in the Forbidden Forest, so why should he spend so much money to buy them here? Why not go to the Forbidden Forest to get them?

Others, such as Nogtail, Ashwinder, Crup, etc., are either useless or the price/performance ratio is too low to be worth buying. It wasn't until he wandered to the innermost part of the tent that he finally found what he wanted.

That should be the largest magical animal sales place in the entire tent, and its booth alone occupies one-tenth of the area of the tent. Unlike other stalls where one or two wizards are selling, more than 20 wizards are selling in this booth, like a big team.

Moreover, the level of magical animals sold inside is obviously not at the same level as other stalls.

A Hippocampus in a large water tank, A Runespoor, A Yeti, etc., are all extremely safe and aggressive magical animals.

However, these were not what Jerry valued most. What he valued most were the four house elves.

House elves, magical creatures in the wizarding world, and the most loyal servants of wizards. Although they seem to be very weak, in fact, every house elf has a good magical ability.

They are proficient in elf magic. Although they don't have any powerful attack magic, they are extremely good at housework, invisibility, and teleportation magic, and can even perform Apparation.

Jerry's biggest weakness is Haas, Aisha, and Belle can be counted as half of them. But if everyone gave them a house elf by their side, then his only weakness could be said to make up for most of it.

House elves can be invisible. Even if they follow Haas and others, they will not be found. When encountering special enemies, they can be easily dealt with elf magic. If they encounter really weak enemies, they can also directly lead them to escape with Apparation.

However, when Jerry asked the price, he was a little dumbfounded. The price of a house elf was as high as 10,000 Galleons. All his current savings combined were not enough to buy a house elf.

No wonder only some wizarding families with ancient traditions will have house elves. It turned out that not all families could afford a house-elf at all.

In the wizarding world, the income of a wizard is only a few dozen Galleons a month, and a better job, like an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, is only more than a hundred Galleons a month.

Wizards may have to work for ten or twenty years without food or drink before they can earn 10,000 gold galleons.

Chapter 204 "Jerry's Fishing Tactic"

For ordinary wizards, house elves don't play that much role. Many things that house elves can do can be done by themselves with magic. For example, it's like ordinary people's lifetime savings may be used to buy a house, get married, or raise their children. But they will never hire a nanny to cook and clean for themselves.

Only the truly rich and aristocrats would spend ordinary people's life savings on hiring a nanny to clean their villas and prepare three meals a day for themselves. Therefore, only those wizards who are really rich and powerful will have one house elf.

Looking at it this way, Hogwarts has at least a hundred house elves. How rich can the Founder of Hogwarts it be?

"It seems that I have to find a way to make money."

Looking at the four house elves and the ferocious magical animals kept in various big cages over there, Jerry couldn't help sighing. If he were given some time, the salary of his Quidditch players, plus a few rounds of wandering in the Forbidden Forest, it would not be too difficult to make 40,000 Galleons.

But the wizard who was in charge of selling house elves just now told him that rare products like house elves are not always available.

There are four now because a once famous wizard family in France is now down and out, so they sold all the house elves in the family.

Although Jerry felt that this might be a sales strategy of the salesman, the house elf was what he needed now, so he had to raise money quickly. Now he needs to buy at least three house elves for Aisha, Haas, and Belle.

Although Aisha and Belle are together all the time, in a few months, Aisha will be graduating from elementary school. They will definitely be separated by then, so he needs to prepare at least 30,000 Galleons.

But how can you quickly get Gold Galleons? Thirty thousand is not a small amount.

Jerry, who couldn't afford anything, looked at the four house elves and a group of magical animals reluctantly and returned to the big tent's door. However, he didn't use the Portkey at the door to return to the bar but went straight out of the tent, rode a Thestral, and flew back by himself.

There are five or six football field-sized tents, which are no different from ordinary camping tents in appearance, and its location is very remote, in the outskirts of the forest, far away from the center of Paris.

In the hotel room, Jerry began to think about accumulating 30,000 Galleons quickly. The first thing he thought of was the formal method.

For example, by buying basic herbs to make potions and sell them. His level of potion-making is good, and with the blessing of "Refreshing", he can almost achieve a 100% success rate.

However, he did a rough calculation, and if he wanted to earn 30,000 Galleons in this way, even if he kept working day and night, he couldn't finish it before the start of school.

Then he wondered whether to go back to Hogwarts, catch some Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest, and exchange their venom for money.

But this is not safe, and it is very inconvenient. Because as long as he is in the UK, he will be monitored by the Ministry of Magic because of the Trace. He can only use the robots to deal with the Acromantula.

In that case, he was worried about being discovered by Dumbledore at Hogwarts.

Moreover, even if the venom of the Acromantula was valuable and could be sold more. It is estimated that the market would be saturated, and with 30,000 gold Galleons, the amount of venom of the Acromantula needed would definitely be quite a lot.

So, after much deliberation, he decided to use some method to get money quickly and was not very compliant. Of course, it's not directly stealing or going into a tent to rob Galleons.

The next day, late at night,

After planning everything, Jerry came to the tent selling magical animals again, but this time he flew over on a Thestral instead of using the Portkey from the bar.

Putting away the Thestral, Jerry cast a spell and again turned into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

"Wow, is this a black market transaction? It's an eye-opener for the first time!" The moment he walked into the tent, Jerry said this.

"What kind of dog is this?"

"This is a Crup. It is now extinct in the wizarding world. The one I have here is the last one. If you want it, it only costs 500 Galleons." He is wearing a pitch-black wizard robe, covering his face. The boss, with a slightly gloomy voice, laughed.

But Jerry's next answer almost made his jaw drop in shock. "It's only five hundred Galleons, so cheap. I thought it would cost several thousand gold coins." Jerry took out a bag, hugged it from inside, and immediately pulled out a large handful of Galleons, which attracted all the wizards passing by to look over.

The young wizard closest to Jerry saw that Jerry really seemed to be planning to spend five hundred Hogwarts to buy a Crup and was about to sound a reminder but was hurriedly pulled over by his companion.

"Don't be too fussy, don't forget the rules in the black market!'

The black market naturally has rules. The wizard reminded Jerry at this time that he would not only offend this wizard who set up a stall but also offends all the wizards who set up a stall in the entire tent.

But at this time, Jerry was about to hand the five hundred gold coins he had taken out to the owner. But he seemed to think of something suddenly and put his hands back into the bag again.

"Sorry, I forgot people at home don't let me keep a dog. I'd better look at other things." After speaking, Jerry walked over to other stalls.

The stall owner saw him fleeing from his stall, so he was unwilling to give up and quickly shouted at Jerry to bargain. But at this time, Jerry waved to him very politely and then walked to other stalls.

In this way, Jerry used the same method again, walked around the booths in other directions, and then walked out of the tent. A foolish young wizard with a huge sum of money because he heard some rumors, sneaked into the black market to hang out, and then left the black market alone with a huge sum of money.

Making himself easy to be a target for some wizards to be in his tail.

Chapter 205 "Getting Rich"

"Sister, I saw a few wizards going after that boy!"

The young wizard who wanted to remind Jerry just now happened to see Jerry leave the tent after walking around, and shortly after Jerry left, several wizards with their heads covered followed him out, including the stall owner who had sold the Crup before.

"It's too dangerous. Although there are rules in this black market, there are no rules outside the black market. This is a lesson, and you should learn from it." The person called the sister warned the young wizard.

The young wizard hesitated for a moment and finally sighed. Although he sympathized with that innocent boy just now, he would not do anything dangerous for a strange boy. He just hoped that the boy's ending would not be too miserable.

At the same time, Jerry, who was considered a fool by everyone, deliberately slowed down and walked toward the depths of the dark and uninhabited forest.

"I don't know how many greedy wizards this wave of performances will attract."

Jerry believes that although those who can appear in the black market are not necessarily ruthless wizards, they are definitely not good people who abide by the rules. The situation he just showed, and the number of Galleons he showed can attract some greedy people who like to take risks.

Jerry's idea is that he does not steal or rob, but if someone dares to attack him, he will treat him the same way as others. With this, he can also earn some red stars in the process.

If it goes well, maybe within a few days, he will be able to raise enough money for the elves, and maybe he will have extra Galleons to buy some other magical animals.

Jerry, who was walking in the forest, heard the footsteps from behind, and the corners of his mouth began to rise rapidly. The stall owner who sold Crup just now led three masked wizards with magic wands and surrounded Jerry.

"Hey, brat, hand over all the Galleons in your pocket, or I'll kill you."

"What are you doing? You know you can't kill someone because that's breaking the law." Jerry looked at the four people surrounding him in horror.

The stall owner laughed loudly and said, "Breaking the law? What we are doing is an illegal business. Hurry up, and I can let you go if you hand it over, or you will be killed right now!"

"Okay, I…I'll give it to you, as long as you don't kill me." Jerry obediently took out the bag containing all the Galleons and handed it to the stall owner.

The stall owner took the bag, looked at the number of Galleons inside, and immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Okay, now get out. Remember, don't come to the black market alone in the future. This is a lesson."

"Aren't you going to kill me?" Jerry had a surprised look on his face.

"Get out of here!" An impatient look appeared on the stall owner's face.

"Well, it doesn't look too bad. I guess I'll have to take your lives too." Jerry swept away the terrified expression before and said something lightly.

Before the four wizards wondered what had just the boy said in front of them had, they felt a numbness in their necks and then fainted on the ground. It turned out that as early as he sensed several people's presence, Jerry threw out the silver needle and hid it around.

It was he who controlled the magic with his mind just now, and the silver needle with anesthetic was put on the necks of the four wizards, making them paralyzed.

The reason for those conversations just now was that he wanted to test them, whether they were simply robbing or planning to continue killing after the robbing.

If it were a simple robbery, then he would let them live. If they plan to kill people after the robbery, then Jerry will send them to hell instantly.

"Ugh, not so much."

After searching all the items on the four of them, the total amount was less than 10,000 Galleons. However, among the objects of the stall owner, he found quite a few magical animals. It's a pity that they are all XX-level magical animals that are not very useful and do no harm.

He doesn't intend to waste them on these XX-level magical animals, so he throws them all into his own suitcase space and lets them live freely.

He reached out and pointed at the four wizards who had taken away all their belongings. The four wizards immediately floated up and then followed Jerry to the deeper part of the forest.

After making sure that no one around would find out, Jerry bound the four of them with the Incarcerous Spell and then woke them up.

"We apologize, and please let us go." After the four wizards woke up, they immediately recognized the situation in front of them and gave up immediately.

Jerry stood in front of the four with his hands behind his back, without any expression on his face, "It's not that I don't want to forgive you. But I was hoping you could do something for me. Otherwise, you will be like that tree."

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, a blue magic light shot out, and a big tree next to him was cut into several parts in an instant.

"Casting spells silently without a wand?!" Seeing this, the four wizards were in shock.

Only a few months ago, there was a wizard who was wanted by the Ministry of Magic and could cast spells silently without a staff, and now there was another one which is still young.

Since when did casting a spell without a wand become so simple?

With Jerry's current level, silent casting is barely achievable. But casting without a wand is really almost impossible. The main reason is that if there is no magic medium, the power of magic will drop a lot. The spell that Jerry released just now was not wandless. It was just that he was wearing the Magic Ring.

However, this move obviously scared them.

"Whatever you say, we'll comply!"

"Okay, I want you to go back like this and then like this…"

Twenty minutes later, the four wizards returned to the black market tent with simple expressions.

"Boss, we really want to say that. I think it's better to tell the person in charge of the black market about the situation. Maybe they will take care of that boy. We can take advantage of the chaos and have a chance to get our money back." One of the wizards suggested to the stall owner.

The stall owner thought for a while before sighing, "It's better not to take this risk. It's obviously not good for us to disobey what he just said. He may not be able to fight against the person in charge here, but he may take it out on us afterward. It's okay to lose some money but don't put your life on it!"

Chapter 206 "The Fish Has Taken The Bait"

"How is it? Have you got it?" At this time, another stall owner next to the stall owner asked curiously with envy.

"No, not long after that kid left the tent, he disapparated and left. We didn't catch up to him." The stall owner thought of Jerry's explanation and waved his hands quickly.

The stall owner obviously didn't believe it, "If you succeed, you will succeed, and you are still hiding it. Everyone is not stupid. If it weren't for the rules and you let me take the lead, I would go over and do the job quickly. That boy has at least a few thousand Galleons in his pocket."

According to the rules in the black market, you can't do it in the area. If you want to do it, you can only go outside the area; whoever follows out first, others can't grab it. However, this is just a rule that everyone agreed. Those wizards who come to buy things are not included in these rules.

The stall owner didn't explain much after hearing the words. He just said that he was going to rest at home for a few days and would not come to set up a stall for the time being. In fact, there was no way to set up a stall. The Galleons and smuggled magical animals in his pocket were all taken away by that small boy.

On the other side, Jerry also rode a Thestral and returned to the Place Cachée.

He asked those four wizards to do things very simply, not to admit that they had met him when they returned. However, this kind of thing is hard to say because he can't guarantee that the four wizards will definitely do as he said after they go back.

But what's the loss?

At most, the wizard inside knew that he was quite strong, and the brave ones would continue to be fooled. He did this to make this situation last for a few more days.

What if the four wizards tell the people behind the black market about his situation? Then it depends on what the people behind the black market say. It's fine if they didn't care about it much. He will be very happy if they plan to get rid of Jerry.

Because it means that he will have a large sum of Galleons in his account.

The next night, Jerry came to the forest where the black market tent was located again. Only this time, he released the twelve robot soldiers ahead of time and cast Disillusionment Charms on them.

At this time, the twelve robot soldiers had changed from when they fought Morgana before. Except for the big wings on the back, their right hand has turned into a sword.

Before leaving, Jerry asked Balthazar to help him transform with Transmutation Magic.

Dave also helped a little. He made the robot's right hand retain the electric shock function while being transformed by magic. Therefore, the swords in the right hands of these robots are not only sharp in battle but also electrified.

"Go to the sky, and wait for my orders." Although Jerry feels confident about his current strength, taking out the black market is not difficult.

But if a wizard in the black market can compete with him, or is stronger than him, then the twelve invisible robot soldiers in the sky can give him great help. If robot soldiers attacked them with machine guns and other weapons before releasing the Protego Charm in time, deflecting them would probably not be easy.

However, if it's really a head-on confrontation, the wizards have placed a defensive spell in advance. The robot soldiers' chances of winning are estimated to be much smaller.

Pulling back the curtain of the black market tent, Jerry showed an innocent smile again and walked in with a bag of Galleons. The moment they saw Jerry, the eyes of several wizards setting up stalls lit up. It turns out that yesterday's men didn't lie. They really didn't catch this little sheep.

"Is the Anti-Apparition spell arranged? That kid is coming!" A wizard asked three other wizards not far from the black market tent.

"Okay, as long as we lure that kid over for a while, he will never escape. However, that kid is really so rich. It's worth the joint efforts of the two of us to deal with him." One of the wizards had a puzzled expression on his face.

The first wizard smiled and said, "It's okay. That kid is definitely rich. Just now, he bought a house elf for 10,000 Galleons and didn't even bat an eye. We estimate that at least tens of thousands of his family's money is in his bag."

"So much! Wouldn't it be more distressing to split half of it?"

If the boy has 50,000 Gold Galleons, then he will only get 25,000.

The first wizard was also speechless, but he still explained, "Don't underestimate that kid. He may not be as complicated as he appears to be able to bring so many Galleons to the black market. Both Arte and I felt that there was something strange about Benny yesterday. So, as soon as that kid steps into the range of the Anti-Apparition spell, don't be soft and kill him directly."

Arte is another stall owner who cooperated with him. Benny is the stall owner who said yesterday that he failed to catch up with the boy, and he is the stall owner next to Benny.

"Yes, boss. He seems to have come out."

The other three wizards responded in unison. After seeing the young man walking out of the tent, he scattered and hid in several places.

"Young boy, our stall is just ahead, and we have a very rare dragon egg!"

At the entrance of the tent, a thin wizard with a smile on his face led Jerry to walk toward the direction where the Anti-Apparition spell was arranged.

"Really? Then hurry up. If there are really dragon eggs, I'm willing to pay fifty thousand Galleons." Jerry urged with a face full of expectation.

After Jerry entered the black market tent this time, he didn't just look at things but did not buy them like yesterday. That would be too fake. Therefore, he used yesterday's money and his own savings to make enough money to buy a house elf.

It's just that during the purchase process, he acted casually. As if spending 10,000 Galleons was like nothing to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he threw the house elf he bought into the suitcase, a wizard approached him and asked him if he was interested in dragon eggs.

When Jerry heard this, he was overjoyed immediately. He looked very interested and happily left the tent with the wizard and his two subordinates.

"The fish has already taken the bait, and it's time to close the rod immediately."

The four wizards who were ambushing and the three wizards who brought Jerry over saw Jerry stepping into the range of the Anti-Apparition spell, and they thought at the same time.

At this time, Jerry had the same thoughts as theirs.

Chapter 207 "Peruvian Vipertooth Dragon"

"Do it now!"

Without giving Jerry any chance to react, when he came to the reserved ambush site, four green lights shot toward his position from four directions at the same time.

"They're using Killing Curse from all directions to anticipate me from dodging it, huh."

Seeing the four green lights, Jerry recognized at a glance that it was a Killing Curse that could not be resisted by defensive magic. His face turned cold because it meant they did not intend to keep him alive.

The Anti-Apparition spell prevents Jerry from Apparating, and of course, he can't Apparate at all.

The Killing Curse cannot be blocked by defensive magic such as the Protego Charm, and simultaneous attacks from four directions made it impossible for him to dodge.

However, Jerry was standing there at this time, not even hiding. Just watching the three wizards who brought him here and the four strange wizards who showed up now.

Just when the seven wizards thought that Jerry would surely die, they didn't know that all four of his death-defying curses passed through Jerry's body without causing any harm at all.

Jerry looked at them, and then his eyes were serious, "Now it's my turn."

As soon as his words fell, six of the seven wizards fell to the ground in an instant, and only the skinny wizard who had brought him here before was still standing there.

But at this moment, his face was full of horror, "What magic did you use to attack us?"

"Huh, your robe has a defensive spell attached to it. You must be so cautious." Jerry looked at the Protego Charm lit up on the skinny wizard's robe and instantly understood the reason why his silver needle didn't go in.

"But it's useless. Avada Kedavra."

A voice sounded from behind the thin wizard, the green magic directly ignored the Protego Charm on the wizard's robe and sank into his body.

At this time, Jerry's body slowly came from a distance, and the Jerry who had been standing in the center also slowly disappeared.

It turned out that the moment Jerry walked into the black market, he had already used a Disillusionment Charm and Clone Magic he had learned from Asgard. The one that was guided by the skinny wizard was only his illusion, and his main body kept hiding in the safe area behind. That's why the four Killing Curses didn't work at all.

When the wizards used the Killing Curse to attack the clone, he controlled the silver needle and attacked them at the same time, knocking down the six defenseless wizards in an instant. Then he used the Killing Curse to deal with the last one.

Since they intend to kill him, he'll just return the favor.

After looting the seven wizards' properties, Jerry used the Severing Charm to cut off the heads of the remaining six wizards, who were stunned and sent them to hell together.

Seeing all the properties of the seven wizards, Jerry had a look of surprise on his face. As wizards dwell in the underground market, the ruthless ones are richer. The pockets of these seven wizards are obviously bigger than yesterday.

Searching their equipment, putting all the Galleons owned by the seven people together, and counting them turned out to be close to 50,000.

Moreover, he also found a large number of magical animals. Although most were not very useful, there were quite a few rare and valuable ones.

It's like an XX-level bird. Its feathers can be used to make Veritaserum and memory potions. It is a very rare magical animal indeed. It is still very good to put them in the suitcase for potion making.

Most importantly, there was actually an unhatched dragon egg. Originally, he thought that they were using this as a gimmick to trick him out, but he didn't expect it to be true.

After observation, this dragon egg should be a dragon egg of a Peruvian Vipertooth.

Because the Peruvian Vipertooth is the smallest dragon among all dragons, even when they are fully grown, they are only four or five meters long, so their eggs are the smallest among all dragon eggs, and they are slightly larger than goose eggs, so it is very easy to identify them.

However, don't think that the Peruvian Vipertooth is weak because of its small size. In fact, the Peruvian Vipertooth is more of a threat to wizards than any other dragon.

Because the Peruvian Vipertooth is the fastest flying dragon of all, it is almost impossible to hit with normal magic, and its teeth are highly poisonous. If they bite you, you are basically dead.

"I'm just going to buy all the remaining three house elves so as not to be bought by other wizards tomorrow."

After getting the eggs of the Peruvian Venomtooth, Jerry walked to the nearby black market tent again with the new money that he just earned.

Four house elves, three are used to protect Haas, Aisha and Belle, respectively, and one is placed in the suitcase to help Jerry take care of the magical animals in the suitcase.

Jerry has taken away by Sun Lok's equipment to cast magic, so he couldn't cast magic. Fortunately, only Norbert, Crookshanks, and other normal animals were in the suitcase.

But now, there are a large number of animals in the suitcase, and it will be difficult for Sun Lok to take care of them if he cannot cast magic. It would be much easier to have a house elf who can cast all kinds of magic to assist him.

When Jerry stepped into the black market tent again, many wizards and stall owners looked at him. With a full of surprise and then showing a little solemnity.

What surprised them was that they clearly saw Jerry being taken out by the ruthless Arte, and they also knew that another stall owner was ambushing him. But at this time, Jerry came back safe and sound.

Jerry came back, but the two stall owners and their men did not come back.

They seemed to have thought of the answer and didn't dare to doubt it.

Jerry didn't care about the gazes of those stall owners because he knew that this kind of thing could only be fooled once or twice, and those wizards were not stupid to make such a dumb decision.

It will be a matter of time before it is discovered.

Now that it was over. He had enough money to complete his plan. So why not just buy something, leave, and then return without wasting any more time?

His original intention was to improve his strength, not to make money.

Of course, if he is exposed now, those wizards could unite to take revenge on him if they're willing to take the risk to do so.

Chapter 208 "The Four House Elves"

"I want all three of these!" Jerry came to the largest booth in the black market and pointed to the remaining three house elves.

When the clerk saw Jerry's appearance, he was as surprised, but he still received Jerry very warmly and sold him the three house elves.

Thirty thousand Galleons were poured on the table of the booth. The golden light was shining, almost attracting the attention of all the wizards. It's like you have a house worth two million in the city and pour two million cash on the table to buy something. It's definitely very eye-catching.

After paying the money and putting the three house elves into the suitcase, Jerry walked out of the tent swaggeringly. He was so bold because he wanted to see if it was possible to get some idiots to follow him. After all, he didn't plan to come over tomorrow.

After Jerry left, the wizards in the entire black market began to discuss and speculate, but none of them followed. Those who often come to the black market are not fools. They still have an understanding of the strength of the seven wizards who ambushed Jerry.

This kind of thing only happened to wizards who were new to the black market and looking like an easy targets. Now that the whereabouts of the seven wizards are unknown, no one would dare to mess with that boy.

"Sister, do you think my worries yesterday were superfluous?" The young wizard was also in the crowd yesterday, watching Jerry leave with a very complicated expression on his face.

The elder sister sighed, "This warns us not to underestimate every wizard who comes to the black market and not to easily trust those wizards who seem harmless to humans and animals."

At the same time, At the French Ministry of Magic, Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

A middle-aged Auror reported to an old man sitting on a chair, reading a newspaper and drinking coffee, "Director, there is something wrong with the black market."

"Interesting. I'm afraid that's not the strength that a young wizard can have." After listening to the report, the old man put down the newspaper in his hand, showing a hint of interest.

The middle-aged Auror nodded. "According to our current analysis, he may be a wizard with Metamorphmagi ability, and it is likely to be a dangerous wizard who clashed with our Aurors a few months ago."

Metamorphmagus is a type of wizard. They are rare, and they have the ability to transform into anything or anyone at will. It's not an Illusion but a real physical transformation similar to taking a Polyjuice potion.

"Is that the wizard who managed to fight against a dozen of your subordinates and escaped calmly in the end?" There was a look of surprise on the old man's face.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the middle-aged Auror's analysis was indeed reasonable. He was able to kill seven wizards without being injured, and his strength was definitely not weaker than that wizard last time.

Within a few months, it is impossible for two strange and powerful wizards to appear at the same time. Therefore, it is very possible that the two are one person, and they are Metamorphmagus—no wonder they couldn't find the wizard after searching for a long time.

"The people below want us to kill him, so should we?" The middle-aged Auror waved his wand.

The old man thought for a while and shook his head, "Forget it. He didn't break the rules of the black market. Those stall owners are too stupid, and it's best not to provoke such a dangerous character. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome."

The black market is inherently shady, and it would be bad to implicate him if it gets bigger.

"Besides, if he bought our things with all his money, we won't lose money." The old man smiled, got up, picked up his briefcase, and patted the middle-aged Auror's shoulders.

"It's getting late. I'm going home to rest. You can arrange the follow-up work. I'm going to retire soon, and you will take over at that time."

"Yes, Director, I will definitely do a good job." The middle-aged Auror stood up excitedly.

—–

Reaching out to call the twelve robot soldiers who have been invisible in the air and putting them back into the suitcase. Jerry released Heitan and returned to the hotel in the Place Cachée.

"What are your names?" In the suitcase space, Jerry asked the four house elves, who bowed their heads and stood in front of him.

"My name is Dov!"

"My name is Sammy"

"My name is Dalibor!"

"My name is Soren!"

The four elves respectfully reported to Jerry. When he bought them, Jerry was their new owner. According to the tradition of the house elves, the four house elves will always be loyal to Jerry, and their descendants will also be loyal to his descendants forever.

"The names are so random." He couldn't help but twitch when he heard the names of the four house elves.

It seems that the original owners of the four house elves before him didn't pay much attention to them. It's also unusual. Most house elves have miserable lives because many wizards treat them like slaves.

In contrast, the house elves at Hogwarts are actually living a pretty good life. Apart from cooking and cleaning every day, they will not be beaten, scolded, or tortured with magic.

However, he didn't intend to help them change their names. Although the names of the four elves were complicated, they were really easy to remember.

"Uh, I heard all of you are related. So who is the eldest, and who is the youngest?" To Jerry, the four house elves were about the same. He couldn't even tell the differences.

The four elves introduced themselves. Dov is the eldest. Sammy is the second eldest, Dalibor is the third, and the youngest is Soren.

"Okay, you will follow me from now on. As long as you are obedient, I will not treat you badly. However, you still have some work to do." Jerry nodded, raised his hand, and finished drawing the Contract Magic runes.

Chapter 209 "Gilderoy Lockhart"

After staying in Place Cachée in France for a few days, Jerry set off to return to the Leaky Cauldron in London. Because the day that Hermione agreed to buy books together is coming soon.

"How much is this?" In a small gift shop at 15th Charing Street, London, Jerry picked up a Russian matryoshka doll on the gift shelf and asked the owner.

He had just returned to London by train from Hastings before he had time to return to the Leaky Cauldron. He just thought that he hadn't had time to buy something for the Sealing Magic, so he found a small gift shop nearby.

"Oh, it only costs five pounds. But since it's your first visit, I can do it for four pounds!" The owner had just finished taking care of a transaction and introduced it to Jerry enthusiastically.

"Okay, thanks!" After paying the money and holding the matryoshka doll, he continued walking toward the Leaky Cauldron.

The matryoshka doll could be used to seal Voldemort's soul.

"When school starts, I'll find a way to learn to Apparate." Pushing open the door of the Leaky Cauldron, Jerry thought secretly.

Without Apparition, many things would be very inconvenient. Originally, he could have returned to his room or Diagon Alley with just one Apparation. But now, he has to walk slowly on his own feet.

It was the same with the Aurors in Place Cachée last time. Those wizards could use Apparition to escape, but he had to rely on his strength to escape.

However, if you want to learn Apparation, someone must guide you. If you practice blindly according to the magic book, it is easy to split your body. For example, after Apparating, the body teleports, but the arms and legs stay in place. Even with the guidance of a teacher, not every wizard can master it.

When the Ministry of Magic sent someone to teach Apparition at Hogwarts last semester, he would take the time to listen secretly.

There is another very important thing, and that is his Trace.

He is unsure whether the Trace is inside his wand or on his body, so even though he doesn't use the wand very much now, he dares not use magic outside of Diagon Alley.

If this troublesome problem is not resolved, he will be very restricted as long as he is in the UK until he reaches the age of eighteen unless he intends to wipe out the entire Ministry of Magic on his own.

But in essence, he still wanted a relatively peaceful environment to study magic.

"Mr. Lockhart, can I have an autograph?" As soon as Jerry opened the door and walked into the Leaky Cauldron, he was taken aback by the lively scene in the bar.

Although the Leaky Cauldron Bar is located in a magical street like Diagon Alley, the business is mediocre due to the store's environment. Therefore, in most cases, the bar is not full, and it is relatively quiet.

But at this time, the number of people in the bar was quite crowded and very noisy. Taking a closer look, the main reason for this is the wizard in gorgeous robes standing at the bar counter, Gilderoy Lockhart.

He is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts this year.

Gilderoy Lockhart, third-class Medal of the Order of Merlin, Professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts, and five-time Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award winner, is currently the most popular author in the wizarding world.

"It turned out to be him. No wonder."

Looking at Lockhart, who was surrounded by a group of middle-aged witches at the bar to sign their autograph, Jerry suddenly showed a dazed expression. Avoiding them, Jerry took a detour and walked up the stairs on the bar's second floor.

"Tomorrow from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., I will hold a signing event for my new book autobiography "Magical Me". Everyone must come and join us!" Lockhart at the bar flicked his blond hair and showed his bright teeth. He is promoting tomorrow's event while signing their books for the fans.

They screamed repeatedly, saying they would definitely be there to buy one. As for the middle-aged wizards behind them, the expressions on their faces were not so happy.

"Signing event? Hmm." Jerry, who was walking on the stairs, saw the scene below, shook his head secretly, and replied in his heart.

Just now, he had heard some people in the bar discuss that Lockhart seemed to be staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight, and Tom even waived his accommodation fee on purpose.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Jerry used the Disillusionment Charm to hide and quietly came to the door of Lockhart's room.

"Alohomora."

The door was immediately opened under the effect of the Unlocking Charm. Pushing open the door and cautiously walking into the room, Jerry soon found Lockhart currently asleep.

"Imperio."

Stretching out his hand to cast the Imperius Curse on him, Jerry took out a magic pen that could write automatically that he bought at the Place Cachée and ordered to him, "Now, tell in detail how you deceived those wizards and witches, took their stories for your own, and erased all their memories."

Lockhart nodded happily, "When I graduated from Hogwarts in 1982, I kept thinking about becoming famous, becoming a highly respected wizard like Dumbledore, and receiving flowers and applause from countless people. But I dare not to meet and fight those evil wizards, vampires, and ghosts."

"Fortunately, shortly after graduation, I mastered the Obliviate Spell and used it very well, so I came up with a very good idea."

Following Lockhart's narration, his life experience from graduation to the present has been recorded bit by bit with the magic pen. Two hours later, Jerry cast the Obliviate Curse and Sleeping Curse on Lockhart, who had finished telling his story.

"This book should be called "The Real Lockhart"!"

Dozens of pages of paper full of Lockhart's life experience into a book with magic. He left Lokchart's room with this new book and then quietly came to Diagon Alley.

After casting the Doubling Charm on "The Real Lockhart" to turn it into dozens of copies, Jerry threw the copies of these books one by one at the door of the shop in Diagon Alley. Especially for the Diagon Alley branch of the Daily Prophet, he even opened the door and threw seven or eight copies inside.

Afterward, he used the Transfiguration Charm to transform into a middle-aged man, went to the Post Office, and mailed the original copy to the Ministry of Magic.

Chapter 210 "The Fall of an Idol"

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning. Jerry finished his meditation practice and returned to the room from the suitcase.

"Sure enough, no matter where it is, reporters are the fastest in this kind of thing." Hearing the noisy voices outside, Jerry knew that last night's actions had already taken effect.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the door of Lockhart's room a few rooms away from him, and several reporters from the Daily Prophet had already blocked the door.

"Mr. Lockhart, please open the door and explain whether you used the Oblivion Curse to steal other people's experience and write a book. Is it a fabrication or a real thing, and is "The Real Lockhart" a book you wrote?

"I said, I don't understand what you are saying. Everything in my book is my own experience. What is "The Real Lockhart"? There has never been this book. I only have an autobiography book!" The door didn't open, but Lockhart's distraught voice came from inside.

Just then, two young wizards in suits came to Lockhart's door, "Mr. Lockhart, we are the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and now please follow us to the Ministry of Magic for an investigation."

Seeing this, Jerry smiled, passed the Aurors and reporters blocking Lockhart's door, and walked downstairs to the first floor of the Leaky Cauldron. He was going to try breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron. In all his time at the Leaky Cauldron, he hadn't tasted the food at the Leaky Cauldron once.

"Uh… no wonder business has been bad." After taking a bite of steak, Jerry couldn't help frowning.

Although he likes to eat well-cooked steaks, that doesn't mean that the steaks can't be chewed. Well-cooked doesn't necessarily make them stale. Diagon Alley is the only magical street in London and the largest gathering place for wizards in the UK. The Leaky Cauldron is the only bar in Diagon Alley, the only place where you can eat seriously.

In such a place, the daily business is moderate. It can be seen that the management level is not very good, and the drinks are probably better.

However, Jerry ate all the steaks following the principle of not wasting food. Although the steak was too old to be eaten, his teeth were not comparable to ordinary people's. After all, he could eat the rock cakes made by Hagrid.

"Jerry, Jerry!" Jerry had just finished his breakfast and got up from his seat when he heard a familiar voice coming from the door of the bar.

He turned his head to look. It was Hermione who had agreed with him in the letter to come and buy second-grade textbooks today. He saw Hermione waving her little hand at Jerry and then rushed over excitedly and hugged Jerry.

"Long time no see, Jerry!"

"Long time no see, Hermione. Oh, you look taller!" Jerry patted Hermione on the back and said in surprise.

During two and a half months of summer vacation, Hermione seemed to have grown taller. Sure enough, girls developed earlier than boys. Hermione was born on September 19, 1979, and Harry was born on July 31, 1980. In terms of age, Hermione is nearly one year older than Harry.

If Hermione had been born twenty days earlier, then she would have received the admission letter not last year but the year before. Therefore, shortly after the start of school, when Harry and the others are still twelve years old, Hermione should be considered thirteen years old, which is the age at which girls develop and grow the fastest.

"You have changed more than me!" Hermione compared and found that she was not even where Jerry's eyes were.

At this moment, a cough came from behind Jerry. It was her father, Mr. Granger. Seeing this, Hermione hastily and elegantly bowed to them.

"Good morning, Hermione's parents."

"Good morning, Jerry. A boy and a girl together seemed to, ouch!"

As soon as Mr. Granger spoke, Mrs. Granger pinched him in the back, "Don't listen to him. I heard from Hermione that you take good care of her in school and you are also the best student in school. So, it's good that both of you get along very well."

Seeing Mrs. Granger's smile, Jerry froze for a moment but subconsciously nodded.

"That's why Jerry and I are very good friends."

From the first meeting in Diagon Alley at the beginning of school to the train and in the Hogwarts library, Jerry communicated with Hermione the most. Although up to this time, with his magical knowledge and background, Jerry has been of little help to her.

"We should go to Gringotts to exchange for Galleons." Jerry blushed slightly and pulled Hermione towards the magic wall in the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Jerry, are they coming to Diagon Alley today?" Watching Jerry use his wand to open the passage leading to Diagon Alley, Hermione asked Jerry.

"Ron wrote me back saying that they will use Floo powder to go directly to Diagon Alley to purchase today. However, I suggest that he better change to an owl. I feel that if his old owl sends another letter, it'll be just a problem." When Jerry answered, he also complained about Errol.

As soon as he set foot on the street of Diagon Alley, Jerry immediately felt that something was wrong.

Because it was different from usual, everyone was buying the items they needed in front of various shops. At this time, many wizards gathered together in twos and threes, talking about it while flipping through a very luxurious-looking book.

"What happened?" Hermione looked puzzled.

"Who knows? But I think it might have something to do with that wizard named Gilderoy Lockart." Hermione shrugged.

"Gilderoy Lockhart? That famous author? What happened to him?" Hermione eyes lit up immediately. For someone like Hermione, who generally loves reading, a great author like him is her idol.

"There's…something wrong with him." Jerry recounted the questions he heard about those reporters after he went out this morning and the last scene where he saw Auror appear and take Lockhart away.

Hermione's first reaction after hearing this was that it was not something good. She didn't doubt what Jerry had said. She was shocked to know that the idol she admired turned out to be a liar, a despicable person who could only use the Obliviate Curse to steal other people's experiences.

"Don't think about it too much. Let's wait for the news from the Ministry of Magic. Some things are really hard to say until the results come out." Jerry comforted Hermione when he saw that Hermione's mood seemed to have dropped a lot.

Chapter 211 "Tom Riddle's Diary"

After accompanying Hermione's family to exchange Galleons from Gringotts, the four of them went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore together. The Bookstore is the place where Hermione agreed to meet Ron and others in the letter. Because there are not many other things to buy in the second grade, mainly textbooks for the second grade.

Except for Defense Against the Dark Arts, because the teacher often changes, the textbooks are not the same every year, but the textbooks of another subject will basically not change much.

Jerry bought those textbooks a long time ago. But he needed to buy Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks. Although Lockhart's strength is mediocre, the contents are okay. Even if he stole that knowledge from other people, some things could be considered useful.

It's just a little more expensive. But fortunately, after buying the four house elves, he still has a few thousand galleons left, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

"Gilderoy Lockhart Autobiography for sale!"

"Magical Me book is available!"

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Bookstore, Jerry saw the eye-catching banner posted on the entrance.

"I wish Mr. Lockhart is okay." Hermione sighed when she saw the banner.

"Then we can only pray." Jerry knew that as long as the Ministry of Magic investigated according to the contents of the book, Lockhart should be convicted of the crime soon.

The Obliviate Curse is not completely permanent. Strong external stimulation and a wizard proficient in the Obliviate Curse can break the spell's effect. The Ministry of Magic certainly has no shortage of wizards who are proficient in the Oblivion Curse.

Moreover, there are many details in the book. As long as the investigation was done thoroughly, even if the wizards cast with the Obliviate Curse cannot recover their memories, they can still find the evidence sufficient to prove Lockhart's crimes.

Therefore, from the moment Lockhart was brought to the Ministry of Magic for review, it was doomed that he would never come out again. Perhaps, Azkaban will be his final destination.

If Lockhart enters Azkaban, then who will be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts?

Will it be Snape to take over? Or a new teacher? If Snape took over, who will teach the Potions class? Will there still be time to find a new teacher?

Of course, these problems are not something he should worry about, and Dumbledore will naturally find a way to solve them.

—–

"Harry and Ron, haven't they come yet?" Hermione looked down the street.

Jerry and Hermione had already bought all the books, but Harry and Ron were still missing.

"There may be a bit late. Let's go buy other supplies first."

If he remembers correctly, it's Harry's first time using Floo powder. There was a high probability that it would not go so smoothly.

"Then let's go buy some ink and parchment to use." Hermione suggested.

Ink and parchment are consumables, and a lot must be prepared every semester.

"Hermione, your dad and I are tired, and we don't know much about the things you want to buy. We'll wait for you in this bookstore. You and Jerry can go shopping together." At this time, Mrs. Granger pulled her husband and said to Hermione with a smile.

"Okay, then we'll come back after we buy finished our shopping." Hermione pulled Jerry up, waved to her parents, and trotted out.

The two of them slipped forward along the winding cobbled streets of Diagon Alley. On the way to buy supplies, Jerry bought two ice creams first. The two ate ice cream, strolled around Diagon Alley, and bought school supplies for the next semester. Before they realized it, it was almost noon.

"Harry and the others should be here." Jerry checked the time. He and Hermione had been shopping for almost two hours, and Harry and the Ron family should arrive sooner or later.

"Oh, then let's go back to the Bookstore." Hermione realized that if Jerry hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten about Harry and Ron.

She was so comfortable being with Jerry. No matter what she said, Jerry could pick it up, and no matter what she wanted to do, Jerry seemed to know. When it comes to things related to magic, some of Jerry's views always make her suddenly realize that magic is like this.

While shopping and chatting, she didn't pay attention to the time.

—–

Carrying the bought things in the bag, Jerry and Hermione started to return to the direction of the Bookstore.

"What's going on here?" When they came to the Bookstore, Jerry and Hermione did see Harry and Ron's family, and they also saw Hagrid, but there seemed to be something wrong with the Bookstore at this time.

The bookshelves in the store were twisted and crooked, and the books on the shelves were scattered all over the place. It felt like this was not a bookstore but an accident scene.

Moreover, the eyes of Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, seemed a little swollen.

"Jerry! Hermione!" Harry and Ron are surprised when Jerry and Hermione appear.

After some explanations from the two, Jerry realized that it was Harry who used the Floo powder to say "Diagon Alley" as "Knockturn Alley", which caused them not to arrive on time to the Bookstore.

The current situation in the Bookstore was because Arthur Weasley had a fight with Lucius Malfoy in the bookstore.

"Fighting? This is quite surprising." Jerry didn't remember that Arthur and Lucius fought when watching the movie in his previous life. Two powerful wizards fought hand-to-hand in a bookstore, which was really cool to see it happen.

"You didn't see my dad's punch just now. It was so good. It directly knocked out Malfoy's nose!" Ron said excitedly.

"By the way, let me introduce my family to you!" At this time, the Grangers also came in front of Hermione, and everyone introduced each other.

Arthur was most interested in Hermione's parents and kept asking about the Muggle world regardless of his wife trying to heal him from the wounds and scratches.

"This is my sister, Ginny. She's a freshman this year." Ron introduced his sister Ginny to Jerry and Hermione.

"Hello, Ginny!" Jerry and Hermione greeted Ginny at the same time.

But at this time, Jerry's eyes were not on Ginny but on the cauldron in her hand.

If there were no problems at this time, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, the diary containing Voldemort's soul, should have been secretly placed in Ginny's cauldron by Lucius.

"I have to find a way to get it." Jerry had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Chapter 212 "Trickery"

On the way from Bookstore to the Leaky Cauldron, Jerry walked slowly behind Ginny. With a snap of his fingers inside the robe, a thin layer of ice suddenly formed on the ground where Ginny was about to step.

Casting a piece of ice is the most basic and straightforward spell in the Merlinian's wizard book. Although it basically has no power, because it uses very little magic power, it activates quickly and is extremely difficult to detect.

Ginny's right foot stepped on the slippery ice surface, slipped suddenly, and fell backward on her back. The cauldron that was full of books in her hand was thrown flying.

"Are you alright?" Jerry stepped forward, caught Ginny, who was about to fall with one hand, and then snapped his fingers, turning the layer of ice under his feet into the water.

"I…I'm fine. I just slipped on my foot." Ginny stood up from Jerry's arms. Obviously, she was taken aback by the unexpected fall just now.

At this time, everyone was looking at her. Jerry backed away quietly, walked naturally to the place where the cauldron had just landed, and began to pretend to help pick up the textbooks.

"This should be it." While everyone's attention was on Ginny, Jerry quietly picked up a very old diary that was scattered on the floor and put it in his bag.

"Ginny, here's your book. Is everything here?" Putting the books scattered on the ground back into the crucible, Jerry smiled and handed the cauldron to Ginny.

"It's all here, thank you." Ginny took the cauldron and thanked Jerry shyly.

After that, everyone continued chatting towards the Leaky Cauldron.

—–

"Why don't you come to our house to play sometime? Jerry doesn't need to go to training anyway." Ron invites Jerry and Hermione to use the Floo powder in the Leaky Cauldron.

Before the holiday, Ron invited everyone to play at his Burrow. At that time, Jerry refused because the England Quidditch team might need training. In addition, Harry was locked at home and could not go out.

Just now, he knew that Jerry was living in the Leaky Cauldron and that Harry would also spend the last two weeks of school at the Burrow. So, he invited them again.

"I don't mind." Hermione, who was very interested in the Burrow, agreed immediately.

Jerry planned to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded again, "I may be busy with some things in the last few days. Can I join after a few days?"

He just got Voldemort's diary and needed a few days to experiment with it. But he didn't refuse because Ron's father, Arthur, was a master of alchemy.

"Then how about this weekend? it just so happens that Mr. and Mrs. Granger is taking a day off so that we can come over together then." At this time, Arthur interrupted and suggested.

Arthur is very interested in the Muggle world, and he had a very interesting talk with Hermione parents on the road just now, and he hopes to have a chance to have a good chat again.

"Oh, when the time comes, I will definitely prepare the ingredients in advance and make some delicious food for you."

"Oh, you don't have to do all that." Hermione's parents responded.

As the few Muggles who knew wizards existed and were not afraid, they were also curious about this particular wizard family.

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Jerry.

He shrugged, "Weekend is alright for me!"

After that, Ron and Harry returned to the Burrow on the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron with Floo powder. Hermione and her parents left the bar and returned to the Muggle world. At the end of the bar, Jerry was the only one left.

"Voldemort, let's have a talk." Jerry returned to his room on the second floor with the bag in his hand.

He took the diary with a faded cover out of the bag and put it on the table. Jerry picked up a quill and sat on the chair. Turning to the first page of the diary, he can see a little handwriting in the lower right corner that is blurred but still barely readable.

'T. M. Riddle'

Flipping through the diary, it was completely blank, as if it had never been written. However, Jerry had already expected this.

He dipped the quill he picked up into the ink on the table and wrote, "My name is Jerry Carmen, I am twelve years old, and I am a second-year student in Hogwarts as a Slytherin. Today, when I was shopping for books at the Bookstore in Diagon Alley, I accidentally picked up this book. I plan to make this as my own diary."

Just as Jerry stopped writing, the words he wrote in the diary flickered on the paper and were quickly sucked in without leaving any traces.

Jerry feigned surprise. Then, a new line of text appeared on that page, "Hello, Jerry Carmen. My name is Tom Riddle."

"It's alive. Is it an alchemy item?" Jerry continued to write on the paper.

The handwriting disappeared again, and then new words appeared, "Yes, I am an alchemy item made by a great wizard, and I can answer any doubts about magic for you."

"I don't believe it. Do you know the Apparition magic? I'm very interested in that magic." Jerry said he wanted to verify it.

The reply immediately appeared on paper, "That's too simple for me. I can teach you spells and practice skills, but I have been asleep for several years. Can you tell me what happened in the wizarding world these years?"

"As long as you teach me to Apparate, I can tell about it to you."

Why steal Voldemort's diary?

It was because Jerry knew that there was the memory of Voldemort's young soul in it, which could help him learn some magic that he could not learn temporarily. As for whether Voldemort would control him the way he controlled Ginny, Jerry wasn't worried at all.

Although Voldemort's Horcrux is powerful, he cannot control a wizard at will, especially a wizard as powerful as him.

Ginny can be controlled in the original book because Ginny opened her heart to Voldemort and completely trusted him, so Voldemort eroded her soul.

Will Jerry open up to Voldemort? Most likely not.

Voldemort will definitely try his best to trick Jerry in order to win Jerry's trust, and Jerry will also trick him by getting his magical knowledge as much as possible.

Chapter 213 "Gathering In The Burrow"

Five days later, in Leaky Cauldron.

Standing by the bed, Jerry concentrated his mind and whispered a mantra, "Apparate!"

There was a slight cracking sound, and his figure disappeared instantly with the distortion of space, and when he reappeared, he was already at the door of the room.

Five days ago, after he roughly told the history of the wizarding world in these years to Voldemort's soul in the diary, in order to win his trust, he guided him very seriously in learning about the Apparition.

Maybe it was because Voldemort spoke in great detail, or maybe it was because Jerry had done a lot of research on space-type magic before, and in less than five days, he was able to master the Apparition initially.

It was working very well, and there was no Splinching. He doesn't need to use the expensive potion of regenerating severed limbs that Snape gave him as a Christmas gift.

In fact, the main point of Apparition lies in whether the target is clear, whether the will is firm, and whether the spell can be cast calmly. This is not difficult for him, who is mentally strong.

Opening the diary on the table, Jerry took a quill and wrote, "I have learned Apparition. Thank you for your guidance these days. You are indeed a product of alchemy full of wisdom."

"For me, this is a very simple magic. I know a lot of secrets and magic. As long as you believe in me and follow my advice, you will definitely become the best student, prefect, and student council in Hogwarts."

A large passage was immediately revealed in the diary. Through these few days of communication, Voldemort discovered that the Slytherin student who picked him up seems very ambitious. He likes people with ambition and needs because only such people are the easiest to be manipulated by him.

It's just that the student named Jerry on the opposite side is quite wary. Up to now, He has not been open to him at all, making it impossible for his soul to go into his body. He felt that it might take more time and patience to convince Jerry to trust him.

If he can't open Jerry's heart and make Jerry fully trust him, then he won't be able to occupy Jerry's body ever. Knowing that his body has been destroyed, Voldemort's final plan is to occupy Jerry's body. At that time, he will be Jerry, and Jerry will be him.

"That's really great. I'm going to the Burrow for a few days, and I can't ask you about magic for the time being. I'll talk to you when I get back." After Jerry finished writing, he closed the diary without waiting for Voldemort to reply.

He found that as long as the diary is closed, Voldemort's soul seems does not have a way to know what is happening outside, and after opening the diary, Voldemort's soul can peek outside through the diary. Therefore, if he does not ask Voldemort for magic, Jerry usually closes the diary and throws it into an empty suitcase.

The last time he robbed the wizard in the black market, he got a lot of suitcase compartments. He felt that the reason why Voldemort's Horcrux behaved like this should be because concealment was considered in the making at that time.

Because if the diary is closed, there will be no trace of magic leaking out of it, and it looks no different from an ordinary book on the surface. But if you open it, with Jerry's current strength, if you get close, you can faintly feel the magic aura emanating from it.

"Hermione and the others are almost here." Jerry looked at the time and found that it was already ten o'clock when they agreed to meet, so he threw the diary into a suitcase and walked towards the first floor.

Sure enough, Hermione and her parents were already waiting for him in front of the fireplace on the first floor. After greeting Hermione and her parents, Jerry began to teach the three of them how to use Floo powder.

He had used Floo powder before when he played with the England Quidditch team in France, but this was the first time Hermione and her parents had used Floo powder.

"Okay, there are so many methods and precautions in general. The main thing is not to be nervous and not to mispronounce the name of the destination. Let me give you a demonstration first."

Jerry grabbed a handful of Floo powder on the fireplace and sprinkled it into the fireplace, and the flames in the fireplace instantly turned green. Walking into the green flame, Jerry shouted "The Burrow" and disappeared directly into the fireplace.

"Welcome to the Burrow, Jerry. We've been waiting for you for a while!" Jerry stepped out of the fireplace, and in front of him were Harry and others who had gathered in front of the fireplace a long time ago, waiting for their arrival.

After greeting everyone, Jerry smiled and walked to the side of the crowd, waiting for the arrival of Hermione and her parents.

About five seconds later, a burst of green flames suddenly rose from the fireplace, and Hermione's figure appeared in the fireplace out of thin air.

After Hermione came out, Mrs. Granger and finally Mr. Granger followed.

After a while of pleasantries, the Grangers stayed in the living room and chatted with the Weasleys while Ron and Harry excitedly took Jerry and Hermione to the Burrow.

The Burrow is a house built with magic, and according to normal construction principles, it should have collapsed long ago. The location is located near Ottery St Catchpole, Devon, West Country, England.

Excluding the attic, there are six floors in total, kitchen and living room on the first floor, Ginny's room on the second floor, Weasley's twins and Percy's room on the third floor, Bill and Charlie's room on the fourth floor, and the sixth floor is Ron's room.

In front of the Burrow is a yard for raising chickens and a large warehouse for storing all sorts of equipment, and behind it is a small garden, and in the distance from the small garden, there is a hillside with a gorgeous scenery, on which many fruit trees are planted.

"Ron, I think your place is pretty good. But why is it called The Burrow?"

After walking around, Jerry felt that Ron's house was like a small villa in the wizarding world. The seven-story house has a yard, a garden, a warehouse, a hillside, and a fruit grove. But why The Burrow?

Ron shrugged and explained, "Actually, this name came from long ago. When my father and mother were together, they were kicked out of the family because of some problems with the concept of blood, and they had an unhappy fight with Grandpa and several uncles."

"When my father and mother came here, it was a big pigsty built with stones. Later, my father and mother used magic to transform it into a small house. Because it was really simple at that time, it was named The Burrow."

"Then, with the birth of the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, he began to use magic and alchemy to remodel the house, and finally, it became what it is now."

Chapter 214 "Knowledgeable Jerry"

"So that's how it is." Jerry nodded. No wonder he felt that the Weasley family was a big family of pure blood but lived so poorly. It turned out that it was not only because of having too many children but also because the family kicked them out.

That era was when the theory of pure blood was prevalent, Arthur, as a son of a pure-blood family, actually got close to Muggles. Of course, he would be rejected by his own family, just like Sirius back then.

However, just looking at the construction of the entire Burrow, it can be seen that Arthur's alchemy is really extraordinary. Ordinary wizards can't use magic to build such a house.

It seems that Arthur likes the habit of using alchemy to transform Muggle's supplies. It has been around for a long time. He used to transform houses, but now he transforms more difficult items such as cars.

"Jerry, Hermione, Harry. I'll call George, Fred, and Ginny. Let's go to the mountain to play Quidditch!"

"You guys can go ahead. I'm just going to sit in the living room for a while."

Jerry has absolutely no interest in playing Quidditch. Now he wants to get close to his parents and see if he can ask him about alchemy later.

"Ah, alright then." Hearing that Jerry was unwilling to play Quidditch, Ron showed regret.

It is a great honor to play with the national professional Quidditch players. Especially Jerry is a school Quidditch legend.

"I'm not going either. You know I'm not good at Quidditch." Hermione also rejects Ron's proposal.

She came to the Burrow mainly interested in the wizard's house rather than Quidditch. Quidditch is not the same at school, and she is really not good at playing Quidditch. She sits on the ground and watches them play.

As a Quidditch fanatic, Ron has posters of the Chudley Cannons all over his room. Ginny, who stole her brothers' broomsticks to play with when she was six years old, will become a professional Quidditch player in the future.

Harry and the Weasley twins are currently members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. So, they happily took the broomstick and went to the hillside. At the same time, Jerry and Hermione returned to the living room of the Burrow.

At this time, in the living room, Arthur was chatting with Mr. Granger about some Muggle science, such as how a car can run without magic, what is its power source, and how it works.

Mr. Granger explained as much as possible with his not-very-rich knowledge.

It is now 1992, and the awareness of information is not fast at this time. As a dentist, Mr. Granger actually has only a half-knowledge of some scientific things. He can't explain things that are too technical and detailed that have nothing to do with his job.

What's more, Arthur's thinking belongs to the thinking of a wizard, and he doesn't know many basic terms, so it is even more difficult to explain to him. Therefore, the communication between the two is actually quite difficult.

Sometimes when he listens carefully, he feels that both of them are like a chicken talking to a duck.

"Mr. Weasley, Muggles have no magic power, and they have no way to learn magic. Most of their products actually need to be powered by something. Producing electricity by using gasoline, oil, or any other source of energy" At this moment, Jerry stepped forward and interjected.

Jerry, a person who lived in the 21st century in his previous life, was reborn and lived in the Marvel world full of advanced technology. His understanding of science is definitely very advanced in this era.

In addition, he is a wizard himself, and he has integrated the magic of the three worlds into himself, and he has a much deeper understanding of the essence of magic than ordinary wizards.

The conversation between Arthur and Mr. Granger instantly became very smooth.

He can use a more modern way to translate some of the magic that Arthur said to Mr. Granger, and he can also use a more wizard way to explain some knowledge about the Muggle world that Mr. Granger mentioned. The point is that Jerry can also interpret more deeply on the basis of the two, which is very helpful.

So while chatting, both Arthur and Mr. Granger felt that Jerry was so knowledgeable at such a young age. Hermione, on the side, was amazed.

Hermione admires Lockhart because he is a very knowledgeable and great author with many experiences, and Jerry, at this time, behaved the same way.

"Jerry, I just heard from Harry and Ron that you did very well in school, and I also knew that your talent in Quidditch is amazing. But I didn't expect that you know so much about the Muggle world." Arthur looked at Jerry in amazement.

Jerry smiled when he heard this, "Because I was born in a Muggle orphanage, and I also like to read Muggle-related books in my spare time. I personally think that Muggles are powerful, and their inventions are also powerful. They have no magic, but they can create many things that cannot be created by magic. We should recognize their excellence, not just belittle them. "

Arthur's eyes lit up immediately, "Exactly, Jerry. I find it hard to imagine you being assigned to Slytherin."

In Arthur's heart, wizards of Slytherin have always had their eyes above their heads, and even half-bloods are not worth their time, and they don't even care about Muggles. There are very few Slytherin wizards who will recognize the excellence of Muggles.

"I have always felt that as a Slytherin wizard, I have to make myself better, not deny the excellence of others. Of course, that's why I have been learning about Muggles." At this time, Jerry was sitting on the chair, looking extraordinarily dazzling.

"By the way, Uncle Arthur, may I ask? Did you make the big clock in the living room?" Jerry pointed to the unusually big clock in the living room.

The big clock in the living room is different from the big clock in Muggle World. There is no time scale on the big clock, but there are nine gold needles, each corresponding to a Weasley family member.

It shows their status at this time.

For example, Percy is "Reading in the Room", Ron and Ginny are "Playing Quidditch on the Hillside", Arthur is "Chatting in the Living Room", and Molly Weasley is "Cooking in the Kitchen".

"Oh, yes, this is one of my most proud works over the years. It uses a lot of alchemy techniques and some unorthodox magic…"

Speaking of the clock in the living room, Arthur immediately became interested. He began to explain the principle of it eloquently, and Jerry listened with gusto while explaining it to Mr. Granger.

Chapter 215 "Culinary Cooking"

"Actually, I'm very interested in alchemy, but the school doesn't seem to teach this subject specifically. I didn't expect Uncle Arthur to be so good at alchemy." After listening to Arthur's explanation, Jerry let out a sign of admiration.

"Jerry, I'm flattered, but my alchemy level is indeed comparable to some wizards."

"I heard from Ron that you like to use alchemy to transform Muggle items. Like that magic flying car they drove to save Harry before was made by you." Jerry continued to admire.

"What? The car can fly?" At this time, Mr. Granger also showed a look of surprise.

"Well, yes, I have done a lot of research about that kind of thing. But the magic car can fly so well, and it is indeed somewhat beyond my expectations. If you are interested, I will take you there this afternoon. Jerry, if you are interested in alchemy, you can ask me for advice. I always think that Hogwarts should offer a course related to alchemy." Arthur patted his chest with a proud face.

"Alright!" Seeing Arthur lose himself in his praises, the corners of Jerry's mouth gradually rose.

Arthur belongs to the kind with strict wives, and Mrs. Weasley or Molly is more disgusted with Arthur's tampering with Muggle items. After all, it violates the laws of the Ministry of Magic. She is afraid that something will happen to Arthur if he is discovered.

Therefore, in order for Arthur to successfully teach him alchemy, Jerry has to find a way to gain a wave of favorability with Molly. As for how to improve Molly's favorability, Jerry already has a plan in mind.

"I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with." Under the surprised gazes of Arthur, Mr. Granger, and Hermione, Jerry got up and walked toward the kitchen.

Hermione thought for a moment and quickly followed. She thought she already knew Jerry well. Unexpectedly, Jerry had so many abilities that she didn't know about.

In the kitchen on the first floor, Mrs. Granger watched as Molly kept waving her wand. Fruits and vegetables flew up and down in the sink before being washed and then cut into even small pieces by a kitchen knife.

Originally, when she heard that Molly was going to cook, she planned to come over to help, such as washing and chopping vegetables. After all, there are a lot of dishes to cook when fourteen people are eating, and Mrs. Molly must be too busy doing it alone.

It turned out that there was no need for her help at all because wizards used magic to cook.

"Hermione, you must learn this magic well. It will be much easier when you get married in the future." Seeing Hermione and Jerry coming to the kitchen, Mrs. Granger explained to Hermione jokingly.

"Well, I'm not very interested in culinary magic." Hermione curled her lips.

Culinary Magic is one of Hermione's weaknesses. It's not like Hermione hasn't studied it before. It's a pity that if you want to learn Culinary Magic, you must not only have good magical talent, but you must also have good cooking skills in real life.

Cooking Magic does not allow you to conjure delicious food directly but uses magic assistance to make a table of delicious food faster and easier. Hermione's magical talent is absolutely fine, but her cooking talent? What kind of cooking talent do you expect from a twelve or thirteen-year-old schoolgirl?

"Need help? My magic is not bad, you know." Jerry asked Molly, who was performing her magic.

Molly looked at Jerry with some surprise, "Jerry, you can do some Culinary Magic?"

A boy who was still in school, it was hard to imagine that he would be a good cook. At least Molly knew that her sons were all not proficient in cooking.

"I personally prefer Chinese cuisine, so I have done some research on Chinese food." Jerry explained with a smile.

"Isn't Chinese food notoriously complicated?"

As a culinary expert, Molly certainly has some research on the cuisines of various countries, but she does not dabble in Chinese food because it is too complicated.

All the Chinese food recipes she bought are very strange. Unlike the cuisines of other countries, the amount of seasoning in each recipe is very clear and has precise calculations.

But in Chinese food recipes, the ingredients she sees are basically words such as "a little", "appropriate amount", and "some", which are unclear, which makes it difficult for her to grasp.

In fact, Molly didn't know that Chinese food has a lot of history behind it. There are eight categories of cuisines alone, and there are twenty or thirty kinds of cooking methods, such as frying, simmering, deep-frying, roasting, braising, etc.

In many cases, you can only add seasonings and master the heat according to your personal taste. These are of course difficult for a foreigner to understand, so Molly was so surprised when she heard that Jerry had studied Chinese culinary.

"If you don't mind, I can make some Chinese dishes for everyone to try." Jerry volunteered to cook.

It's definitely not enough to rely on words alone. He wants to use his strength to gain Molly's favor.

"Although it's impolite to ask guests to cook, I'm really looking forward to it." With a wave of Molly's magic wand, the eight finished English and French dishes flew up and down on the long wooden table in the kitchen.

"Actually, I really like cooking." Jerry glanced at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen, took out his wand, and waved. Various ingredients and kitchen utensils flew up and began to operate quickly.

The food hadn't been cooked yet, and the taste was unknown. But at this moment, Jerry's proficiency in culinary magic was no less than her own, and Molly had already recognized it.

With the continuous waving of Jerry's wand, delicious food with rich fragrance and taste, which Molly and others had never seen before, took shape one by one and then landed on the long table in the kitchen.

Sweet and sour tenderloin, Kung Pao chicken, steamed buns, boiled fish, and so on. They are all been tested by Jerry on Aisha, Haas, and Belle, which are really compatible with the foreigner's taste.

Chapter 216 "Arthur's Magic Car"

"Jerry, what else can you not do? " Hermione watched Jerry waving his magic wand, preparing Chinese dishes that she had never seen before, one by one, and couldn't help but be amazed.

In terms of school grades, Jerry is the first in the whole grade. Even the teachers praised Jerry's understanding of magic, and he surpassed most wizards in the seventh grade.

In the Quidditch game, Jerry is the most powerful Seeker and is even accepted by the England national team as an exception. He also turned the tide in the Quidditch Cup and won the championship for the England Quidditch team.

Jerry also has a lot of research on Muggle science and knowledge, even more than her father, who has been a Muggle for decades.

Jerry can also talk with Arthur about Alchemy, a subject that is not available in school, and it seems that he even understood some basic fundamentals of it. Even Jerry knows the Culinary Magic in the kitchen, and what he knows is Chinese food, which is famous for its difficulty.

Can one person really be this gifted?

Originally, in Hermione's heart, Jerry was not only her best friend but also the goal she wanted to surpass and the object of competition in school. But now, she felt that wanting to surpass Jerry was really impossible.

Unlike Hermione, Molly looked at Jerry with satisfaction at this moment. "You have really mastered Chinese food, and you can do it so well."

Molly picked up a fork and put a piece of chicken into her mouth. Her eyes suddenly showed surprise. She originally thought that Jerry might have just dabbled in some Chinese food recipes and could barely make them, but she didn't expect that Jerry could really make them so delicious, which was simply beyond her expectations.

"I'm also interested in British and French food. Aunt Molly, if you have time, you can teach me some British and French food, and I'll teach you Chinese food." Jerry replied very modestly.

"That would be great!" Molly looked at Jerry, and her favorability rose rapidly.

Jerry is not a person who is good at socializing, and he doesn't like socializing too much. But he knows in his heart that if he wants to be friends with someone, make that someone like you. So the easiest way is to have common hobbies with each other.

—-

It's lunchtime.

When everyone was seated, the Weasleys immediately noticed something weird at today's table.

"Molly, I seem to have never seen you make this kind of food. This meat tastes sour, sweet, and it's delicious." Arthur put a piece of fried meat wrapped in sweet and sour sauce in his mouth. His eyes lit up immediately, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"Why does this chicken taste different from the usual ones?"

"Hey, is this fish fillet? It's so spicy."

"What is this? It's so hot. It's really hot!"

As everyone moved their knives and forks curiously, there were talks, one after another.

"I'm not good at Chinese food. Half of the Chinese food on the table today was prepared by Jerry for everyone. You should thank him." Molly smiled and explained to everyone.

"Jerry?" Hearing that this strange Chinese cuisine was made by Jerry, all the people who were not in the kitchen just showed expressions of disbelief.

Especially Harry and Ron, the two of them knew Jerry quite well. In their eyes, Jerry should belong to the kind who was obsessed with magic books every day and couldn't bother himself with cooking.

Just like when he was in school, you saw the number one student studying hard and reading books every day, and you would know that hard work paid off. He deserves to be number one in the exam because he works so hard every day.

Later, you found out that he is also very good at sports, it turns out that learning and sports can also be combined.

Later, this classmate of yours came to your house as a guest, and he easily made a table full of delicate cuisine for everyone.

At this point, all you have left is to doubt your life.

"Don't eat the steamed buns directly because it'll be pipping hot. Let me teach you. You can take a small bite first, slowly suck the soup inside, and then…"

Looking at Ginny and George, who were scalded by the steamed buns filled with soup, Jerry picked up a bun and began to teach everyone the correct way to eat it.

—-

In the afternoon, Ron and others continued playing Quidditch on the hillside.

Molly took Mrs. Granger to discuss her experience in raising seven children in the past 20 to 30 years. Mr. Granger, Hermione, and Jerry followed Arthur to the large warehouse in front of the Burrow.

Pushing open the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the light blue Ford Anglia 105E car transformed by Arthur, followed by some disassembled scattered Muggle electrical appliances. When the car saw Arthur appear, it moved the door as if to greet him.

"I cast some spells on it, so it has some thoughts of its own. But it is shy and generally doesn't like to talk." Arthur waved at the car.

"It's incredible!" A car with a mind of its own really impacted Mr. Granger's worldview, although he had said this many times today.

"Does this uses the Extension Charm to expand the interior of the car?" Jerry opened the door and found that there were at least four times the space in a normal car.

Arthur nodded with a smile, "Of course, considering that our family is large. I need to make some extra room."

But after speaking, he immediately opened his mouth to warn, "The Extension Charm is forbidden to be used privately by the Ministry of Magic, so even if you learn it in the future, don't use it indiscriminately. At least don't let others know. Otherwise, you will be fined by the Ministry of Magic."

"Uncle Arthur, we know that we rarely do dangerous and illegal things. Can you explain to us some alchemy techniques when transforming this magic car? I think with your skills, this magic car is definitely more than just able to fly." Jerry said sincerely.

"Of course."

Arthur smiled proudly, "In addition to using part of the alchemy used to make broomsticks, the car has the ability to absorb external magic to fly. In order to prevent being discovered by Muggles, I also added Disillusionment Charm. As long as the Invisibility Booster is pulled, the whole car will be immediately covered by the Disillusionment Charm."

Chapter 217 "Removing The Trace"

Listening to Arthur carefully explaining the magic of transforming magic cars, Jerry turned on "Refreshing" to quickly understand and remember, and at the same time, thought of Arthur's many unique ideas in alchemy, which he did not have in the books he read before.

In general, He explained the production of normal magic alchemy items.

For example, applying the Extension Charm to various items to make their space larger, so does how to make the broomstick could be used to fly, how to make items have more magical effects, etc. Most of the magic items you can see in Diagon Alley are made by alchemy.

However, most of the alchemy that Arthur explained was how to combine magic with Muggle's modern technological items to work, what needs attention, the little tricks he discovered, etc.

However, it may be because they are now in a relatively peaceful era. Most of the alchemy techniques mentioned by Arthur are developed in the direction of more convenient and comfortable daily use. Like making the car space larger, allowing more people to sit, and adding a stealth function to the car so that Muggles won't discover it.

Jerry wants to use this foundation to conduct in-depth research and apply it to other spells.

For example, on the basis of the magic car now, adding the Protego Charm to greatly improve its defense ability or add some offensive magic.

However, his ultimate goal is not to transform a car but to transform his robot soldiers. It's just that these skills can only be studied slowly after his alchemy knowledge is improved.

When it was close to the evening, Hermione's family left the Burrow with Floo powder and returned to London, while Jerry stayed temporarily. Jerry's stay was simple: spend a few days learning Arthur's alchemy skills.

Of course, the other reason is to exchange experience of Culinary Magic with Molly, learn British and French cuisine, and pass on some Chinese cooking methods to her on the way. He might stay for more than a week.

It wasn't until three days before school started that Jerry returned to the Leaky Cauldron in London with Floo powder.

—-

"Tom, do you know whether the Trace from the Ministry of Magic is applied to the body or to the wand?"

"To the body."

"Then do you know how to remove The Trace from the body in advance?"

"Jerry, why do you ask that?"

"Because I feel that The Trace has a lot of restrictions on me, which prevents me from casting magic in the Muggle world. If there is no monitoring by The Trace, I can use magic to torture those who have bullied me in the orphanage before."

"Sadly, the Trace cannot be removed. Otherwise, it will be discovered by the Ministry of Magic."

Looking at the reply in the diary, Jerry frowned and then continued to write, "Is there no other way? I still want to learn some magic lessons I secretly learned before when I go back at Christmas."

"Of course, there are ways, but you have to promise me one condition." A line of writing appeared in the diary.

Jerry wrote quickly with a quill, "What conditions?"

"I want you to go to the girls' bathroom on the second floor after school starts and help me get something." Looking at the writing in the diary, Jerry's eyes narrowed.

The girls' bathroom on the second floor, if he remembers correctly, should be the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. It seems that Voldemort in the diary, has already noticed something.

The soul of Voldemort in the diary at this time is not the Voldemort who has become mad after splitting the Horcrux many times, but the Voldemort who was still at its peak when he was young.

After guiding Jerry in magic many times without feeling the loosening of Jerry's soul, he already knew that Jerry was not as easy to deceive as he appeared on the surface. As long as Jerry has a sliver of distrust in him, it'll be impossible for him to take advantage of him.

He has decisively planned to trick Jerry and lure him into the Chamber of Secrets, let the basilisk kill Jerry, and then re-select a relatively simple little wizard. Only in this way can he quickly obtain a new body and redo his big plan.

"That's too simple. As long as you tell me how to remove the Trace, I will go to the girls' bathroom on the second floor to find things for you immediately after school starts." Jerry replied without hesitation.

He had originally planned to go to the Chamber of Secrets. After all, the basilisk is a very powerful animal, and it is also a thousand-year-old basilisk.

"The principle of the Trace is that when there is a fluctuation of mana nearby, it will send a special magic mark after a few seconds, and a magic item of the Ministry of Magic will capture this mark. If you can block the magic waves that come out when you cast magic, you naturally won't trigger the Trace, and the Ministry of Magic won't monitor you."

Seeing his explanation, Jerry finally understood. Harry said that he met Dobby at his aunt's house, where he cast magic, but the Ministry of Magic identified Herry as the one who cast the magic. Because Harry is the only wizard in that house, the Trace was triggered, and the Ministry of Magic thought came to that conclusion.

"How can I shield the fluctuations when casting magic?" Jerry continued.

He replied, "Then you need to use a special magic spell, which was also invented by the great wizard who created me."

Voldemort taught Jerry all the incantations and techniques of the spell in detail. Jerry also quickly mastered this spell invented by Voldemort, which can specifically block magical fluctuations through his solid magical foundation and with the help of refreshing.

In fact, after learning it, Jerry also discovered that he had already seen the effect of this spell. This diary's magic fluctuation could not be detected after it was closed because there was a spell enchanted by alchemy on the notebook.

With this spell, Jerry no longer has to worry that the Ministry of Magic will monitor his magic.

As long as he casts a spell on his body before casting a spell, he can basically cast all kinds of magic at will for at least an hour without triggering the Traces left by the Ministry of Magic in his body.

Jerry has obtained two extremely useful spells from Voldemort: the Apparition Spell and this Mana Shielding Spell.

However, this is just the beginning. He believes that as long as he spends more time, he should be able to gain a lot in the future. When he has gotten all the knowledge from him, his soul will be sealed in the matryoshka doll he bought before.

But he needs to be careful, and it's not the time yet, because Voldemort is also smart and needs to be cautious about it when performing the sealing.

Chapter 218 "The Sealed Entrance"

On September 1, 1992, it was time to start school.

Jerry hugged Crookshanks with his suitcase early in the morning, bid farewell to the bar owner Tom, and took the subway to King's Cross Station. Now he could shield Trace fluctuations and then teleport directly to the station with the Apparition.

There is nothing wrong with taking the subway. The population of London is not large, and the subway is not so crowded, and it is hot in September, and it is also very pleasing to see many people in fashionable and cool clothes.

When he came to the entrance of King's Cross Station, he waited a while and saw Hermione being driven by her parents. After waving goodbye to her parents, Jerry and Hermione walked and chatted to Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

"Slow down. Let's wait for Harry and the others." Seeing that Hermione was about to enter the platform, Jerry pulled her and suggested.

He remembered that at the beginning of school this time, Harry and Ron had to drive Arthur's flying magic car to school because Dobby blocked the entrance to the platform. As a result, Arthur's private transformation of Muggle supplies was exposed, and the Ministry of Magic fined him.

During this period of time at the Burrow, Arthur taught him a lot of very useful alchemy knowledge, and he felt that he should help at this time, and he also knew how poor Arthur's family was.

When buying textbooks in Diagon Alley last time, Harry and Jerry said that when he went to Gringotts to withdraw money with the Arthur family, there was only one gold Galleon and dozens of silver Sickles left in Arthur's vault.

If he was fined, this may directly cut Arthur's salary in half next month and greatly reduce the living standards of Weasley's family. Jerry will never treat those who have helped him badly, and he will never be soft on those who have been bad to him.

Although Hermione was a little surprised that Jerry didn't wait on the train but had to wait at the gate of the platform, she didn't say much.

Half an hour before the train leaves. The Weasleys and Harry finally arrived at the Nine and Three-Quarters entrance in a hurry, a little earlier than Jerry expected. After a greeting, everyone began to rush into the platform one by one.

"Jerry, Hermione, you go first. Ron and I will follow you guys later." Seeing the Weasleys lead Ginny through the wall, Harry said to Jerry and Hermione.

"You guys go first. Hermione and I will later follow you guys up." Jerry smiled and raised his hand.

Dobby is hiding around here with the Disillusionment Charm. If they go in first, Dobby will seal the entrance right away.

"Well then, Ron. Let's go together."

Harry didn't object either. After greeting Ron, the two took a deep breath, pushed the trolley, and accelerated toward the wall.

As expected, the two trolleys slammed into the ground, and the cage containing the owl on Harry's stroller flew out. Hedwig in the cage screamed angrily at Harry.

"What's going on? Why can't we get through?" Putting the scattered things back into the trolley, Harry and Ron were stunned.

"Someone closed the entrance on the wall, there is magic on this wall, and there is no way to reopen it with my current ability." Hermione stepped forward and touched the wall, felt the magic on the wall, and sighed helplessly.

Hearing Hermione's words, Ron showed a look of horror on his face, "Then what should we do now? If we can't get on the train, we will be expelled!"

Harry and Hermione's expressions also changed. "We won't be expelled for things like this, Ron."

The station guard came to check the situation, and Jerry walked over with a smile.

When you go to school, you always feel that being late is a big deal, especially when you are late and find that the head teacher is standing at the school gate waiting for you, it feels like the end of the world.

When he grew up, he realized that what he thought was a big thing before was actually very small and insignificant compared to some difficulties encountered in society. Especially for the lateness caused is reasonable, there will be no problem at all.

After all, the two little wizards were almost injured because the entrance was closed.

Jerry also touched the wall, sensed some magic fluctuations inside, then took out his wand and pointed at the wall. A stream of magic power passed through the wall, and the wall rippled like water. Stretching out his hand to touch the wall, he instantly moved his hand.

"Okay, it has been repaired. You can go in!" Withdrawing his hand, Jerry turned his head and said to them.

During this period of time, he learned alchemy with Arthur, and his alchemy level increased a lot. The wall of Platform Nine and Three Quarters is enchanted with space-like magic using alchemy. It takes a certain amount of research on space magic and alchemy to turn on and off the wall's entrance.

Looking at it this way, Dobby's magical ability should be considered relatively strong among the house elves.

Seeing that Jerry solved the problem of the channel being closed with a wave of his hand, the three of Harry stopped talking immediately.

Jerry's magical ability always exceeds their expectation, and sometimes they even have a thought that Jerry's magical ability seems to be no worse than some teachers at school.

The entrance opened again, and the four walked into the wall one by one. Harry and Ron didn't dare to rush into the entrance by running.

But this time, it went very smoothly. Obviously, Dobby knew that with Jerry around, it would be useless for him to block the wall.

When they walked into the wall and came to the train, there were less than five minutes left before the train departed. Arthur and his wife were still explaining something to Ginny on the train through the window. Obviously, they hadn't noticed the disappearance of Harry and Ron.

Maybe they didn't expect Harry and Ron to be blocked off at all, thinking that after entering, they were pushed away by the crowd and boarded the train first.

It is also possible that all the attention was focused on Ginny, who was about to go to school. You must know that Ginny is the first female in the Weasley family, so they need to be extra careful with her.

Chapter 219 "The New Defense Against Dark Arts Professor"

Due to time constraints, the four briefly talked about their situation with Arthur and his wife, and before they could ask in detail, they hurriedly carried their luggage and boarded the train.

At this time, it was less than two minutes before the departure time. Walking on the aisle of the room, the four of them found that most of the rooms were full, and they didn't find an empty room until they were almost at the front of the car.

But it can't be regarded as empty because there is already a person sitting there at this time. It was a strange adult wizard. He was wearing a tattered wizard robe, and there were even a few patches on the robe. He was leaning against the car window and sleeping soundly.

For some reason, although this strange male wizard fell asleep, he gave off a sickly feeling, as if he had no strength at all. Although he looked young, his light brown hair already showed a hint of graying.

"Sit here? It seems that there are not enough seats."

The room has two rows of seats, which is usually just right for four people. If there are more, sitting is not impossible, but it will be a bit crowded.

"Just squeeze in." Hermione was the first to go in and sat by the window opposite the sleeping man, followed by Ron, but before he sat down,

Hermione said in a deadpan voice, "Sit across from me! I'm going to discuss magic with Jerry on the way."

"Well, I don't want to learn magic before I go to school." Upon hearing this, Ron immediately sat across from the sleeping man.

Jerry had to sit next to Hermione. Since the wizard is an adult and sleeps against the window, he occupies a relatively large portion. After Ron sat down, there was almost no space there.

So, Harry had to sit next to Jerry. However, it was still a little crowded for them to sit, making Jerry and Hermione stick a little tighter.

Other students who had just gotten into their room already wore their own robes, they hadn't changed into their robes yet, and it was impossible to wear such clothes in their current situation.

Feeling that his body began to agitate again instinctively, Jerry quickly turned on "Refreshing", and forcibly controlled his body to calm down. As for Hermione, who was sitting in the innermost seat, she turned her head and looked out of the window with a smug expression on her reddish little face.

Hermione will be thirteen in more than twenty days. Girls usually enter puberty at ten, and boys at twelve. So Hermione, at this time, will naturally have some age thoughts that normal girls should have.

"Can you move for a bit? Or I will go to another room to see if there are any empty seats." Jerry whispered.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, with the sound of a siren, the Hogwarts Express train started slowly and gradually left the station, heading for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry again.

"Who do you think is this person? Why is there an adult wizard on the train? I've heard from George that no normal passengers except the lady who sells snacks are accepted on this train." Ron looked curiously at the sleeping man and asked everyone.

"He should be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor this semester." Jerry retracted his body and replied while trying not to touch Hermione.

"How do you know he's our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester?" There was a look of surprise on Ron's face.

He admitted that Jerry was very smart, even beyond his imagination, but he couldn't tell at a glance that he was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"It says on his box, Professor R.J. Lupin." Hermione pointed to the box above the man's head and explained to Ron.

"That doesn't prove that he'll be teaching for the Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson."

"Ron, do you remember the newspaper you read a few days ago?" Harry reminded him.

Ron suddenly realized, "Is he really going to be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? Can he really teach us like this? Why do I feel that he is not even as good as Professor Quirrell."

A few days ago, the Daily Prophet officially reported that Gilderoy Lockhart, verified by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, was found guilty of multiple crimes and had all his property confiscated and sent to Azkaban, where he was detained for years.

Moreover, the report also pointed out that after Hogwarts learned that Lockhart had been convicted of the crime, he publicly dismissed Lockhart from his position as the professor of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

They started to recruit new wizards from the wizarding world to serve as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Now, a new professor they didn't know at all appeared on the train.

"A wizard's ability does not depend on his body, but his magical ability. I think he's a powerful wizard." Jerry spoke his mind.

Remus John Lupine, a person in the same class as Harry's father and Professor Snape, has gone through the First Wizard War and is a core member of the Order of the Phoenix.

In terms of real strength, he may be slightly inferior to Snape, but he is definitely a first-class wizard in the wizarding world. At least much better than those Aurors in the Ministry of Magic.

Unexpectedly, the wizard who would come to teach next year because of him entered Hogwarts a year earlier.

However, it is also understandable that in such a short period of time, it was not so easy for Dumbledore to find a wizard who was willing and capable enough to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

You know, there is a legend circulating in the wizarding world. That is, the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts was cursed by the Dark Lord himself.

Although everyone does not believe such nonsense rumors on the surface, some people really believe that it was cursed, knowing each year the Defense Against Dark Arts professor has changed.

Moreover, Lupin seemed to have had a miserable time in the wizarding world because of his status as a werewolf. It seemed reasonable to ask him to come over as a professor in advance at this time.

The train galloped all the way, crossing the Muggle farmlands and towns, gradually entered the dense forest away from human habitation, and finally stopped in front of the Hogsmeade platform when the sky was getting dark.

Same as last year, Hagrid still held the magic lamp and shouted below for the first-year wizards to gather and go to the Black Lake to take the boat to the castle.

Jerry and the others, who are now in the second grade, walked out of Hogsmeade station, sat in a carriage pulled by Thestrals, and arrived at the castle hall ahead of schedule with a large number of wizards from the second to seventh grades.

Because this year, they are no longer new Hogwarts students.

Chapter 220 "Legilimency"

The process of the sorting ceremony was the same as last year. The only difference was that the young wizards in the sorting house had changed again.

Ron's sister was assigned to Gryffindor and sat next to Harry, and Slytherin also welcomed a new batch of new wizards. At the opening banquet, Dumbledore introduced Lupin, but because of Lupin's clothes, there was not much welcome applause.

Professor Snape, when he saw Lupin, his eyes were about to burst into flames. He didn't expect Dumbledore to invite Lupin to the school to serve as Defense Against the Dark Arts class teacher.

For this, Jerry could only express his apologies. He didn't expect that after dealing with Lockhart, Lupin would take his position.

However, at least Lupin has real talents, which is much better than Lockhart.

As for the possibility of Lupin turning into a werewolf on the night of the full moon, that's for another story. Jerry felt that with his physical fitness far beyond normal people, he could knock him down if the worst outcome happened.

After the banquet, Jerry returned to the Slytherin common room with the new wizards of Slytherin. After a few simple chats, Malfoy and the others fell asleep on the bed.

Half an hour later, Jerry slowly opened his eyes, took Voldemort's diary, cast himself a Disillusionment Charm, and quietly left the common room.

Carefully following the staircase from the first floor to the second floor, he soon found the girls' bathroom that had long been abandoned.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Jerry, finding Myrtle squatting in the toilet, cast a spell to lock her in place.

Myrtle was the student who was killed when Voldemort opened the Chamber of Secrets for the first time decades ago. Later, she became a ghost and lived in the girls' bathroom on the second floor.

Ghosts can also be affected by magic. Headless Nick was petrified because the basilisk saw him, but he had already died once and would not die a second time.

After closing the toilet door again, Jerry took the diary to the sink in the bathroom, opened it, and wrote with a quill, "I have come to the sink in the girls' bathroom on the second floor according to your request. Where is the thing you want to find?"

In the beginning, Jerry promised Voldemort that as long as he taught himself how to shield the Traces, he would come to the girls' bathroom on the second floor as soon as school started. He was a man of his word.

"You must find a faucet in the sink with a small snake engraved on it." A line of writing appeared in the diary.

"Found it." Jerry walked around and soon found the faucet that Voldemort had mentioned.

"Put the diary near that faucet." Seeing the new handwriting, Jerry held the diary in his left hand very cooperatively and approached the faucet, but at this moment, his right hand quietly took out a small ball.

Suddenly there was a hissing sound like a snake in the diary.

Immediately, it emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. Watching the sink slowly disappear from sight, reveals a big tunnel that can allow a person to walk in.

"Go there. What I want is inside there."

"You just said that you came to the girls' bathroom on the second floor to get things, but you didn't say that you wanted to enter this dark corridor."

This time, Jerry didn't listen to Voldemort but stopped where he was.

"Then what are your conditions?" Voldemort was very smart. He knew that since Jerry didn't turn his head away, he could negotiate with him.

Jerry raised his lips and wrote, "I heard that there is a very special magic that can read people's thoughts and study people's brains. If you are willing to teach me, I will go down and fetch things for you right away."

Legilimency books are basically impossible to buy in any part of the world, not even on the black market. He tried to find one, but there was no luck. This can be considered dangerous magic. Even Snape probably wouldn't teach him this, so he can only rely on Voldemort.

You know, Voldemort is a master at manipulating people's hearts and a master in Legilimency, even comparable to Dumbledore.

"Are you talking about Legilimency? As long as you go down and help me get something, I can teach you that." Voldemort replied without hesitation.

In his opinion, Jerry is destined to be eaten by the basilisk after he goes down, so of course, he will not refuse Jerry's request now.

"But what if you don't have what you want?" Jerry still didn't move.

"As long as you are willing to go down, no matter whether you can find what I want inside. I will teach you Legilimency when you come back."

Seeing Voldemort's assurance, Jerry walked towards the corridor with the diary in his hands in satisfaction.

The entire entrance is like a slope going downwards. You don't need to walk, squat on it, and you can slide all the way down like a slide.

The corridor is very long, and many pipes extend in all directions, but they are not as big as the main pipe, and he doesn't know where it goes.

About several hundred meters down, Jerry estimated that he had already reached a place deeper than the bottom of the Black Lake, and then he came to the flat ground.

"Lumos."

A bright light emanated from the tip of the wand, dispelling the darkness and allowing Jerry to see clearly what was in front of him. This is a very wide stone tunnel with four or five meters in height.

"Hurry up, walk along the tunnel until the end." Seeing that there seemed to be some fear on Jerry's face, Voldemort's handwriting appeared on the diary again.

Jerry nodded, pretending to be a little scared, and then walked forward cautiously with his wand. After walking around for a while, he finally reached the end of the tunnel. But what lay before him was a solid wall carved with two intertwined snakes with large, shining emeralds in their eyes.

"Yes, it's there. Put the diary close to the wall, and let me open it."

Jerry clearly felt the excitement from Voldemort's handwriting.

However, at this time, he controlled his body to tremble for a while, and then turned around and returned while writing in his notebook, "I don't want to learn Legilimency anymore. I have a bad feeling. I'm leaving!"

"This is a treasure trove in Hogwarts. The great wizard who created me has hidden many precious treasures. As long as you go in, you can become the richest and most powerful wizard, stronger than Dumbledore!"

Ignoring the writing on the diary, Jerry walked back dully, and when he reached the pipe, he used the Levitation Charm to bring himself back to the sink in the bathroom on the second floor.
