Marvel Hogwarts Wizard
Becoming a wizard is something that Jerry must attain in order to survive in his new life, and that is living in the Marvel World. There would be a greater threat coming to earth, and he needs a way to prepare for that. Fortunately, he was given a System that allowed him to go to the Harry Potter Universe, where he got a letter that he would be enrolling in Hogwarts. Jerry needed to learn a lot of things from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and, perhaps prevent such incoming threats in the future with the knowledge and skills that he learned from there?

A yellow school bus carrying students from an elementary school is seen in Queens, New York.
The cute little boy with brown hair who was sitting in the last row as he watched the news report on the TV in front of the school bus. He sighed, "Iron Man, I didn't anticipate this to be the really scary Marvel world!"
It turned out that the very important news that Tony Stark, the head of Stark Industries, had just come clean about being Iron Man two days prior was what was being covered on TV at the moment.
Jerry Carmen is the name of the young boy. He is a primary school student entering junior high school this year and is eleven years old. Naturally, this is only who he is in this life.
He is a world traveler. He unexpectedly departed away in his former life and arrived in this one eleven years ago. Initially, he believed that he had just been reincarnated elsewhere, but a number of indications proved that this was not the case.
Up until recently, when news of the fabled Iron Man was everywhere. He was certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the terrifying Marvel world where a single finger snap could wipe out half the universe.
In reality, Jerry had little prior knowledge of the Marvel film series. He saw the three movies with Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man, but he later learned from his friends who were Marvel fans that they weren't exactly the same as the Spider-Man in the Marvel series.
He nevertheless continued to watch the first installment of Avengers since, when it was out, his friend was alone and unaccompanied. As a result, he personally paid for it and invited him to watch it with him.
While listening to a certain conversation or conversations from a few pals who are Marvel fans discuss particular clips. He learned that seven or eight years from now, a huge purple figure will have wiped out half of all life on Earth and throughout the universe with the snap of his fingers.

"At my command, the Ice and Snow Demon God, who resides in a remote region of extreme cold, arrives here. Oh, the freezing black blizzard! Whiten everything to resemble snow! Freeze Sealing Formation!"
Jerry was contemplating his options for the future when an imposing yet juvenile voice abruptly sounded in his ears. As soon as he turned his head aside, many bubbles slammed into his face.
"Aisha, as I said, don't use bubble wands on the school bus or the teacher will be upset!"
Jerry looked at the little blond girl sitting inside holding a magic bubble wand and shooting bubbles at him, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Hmph, you devil Jerry from the abyss. Let me, Ice Queen Aisha, come and finish you! Frozen wave of ice!"
The young blond girl proceeded to fire bubbles at Jerry despite Jerry's remarks having absolutely no effect on her.

"How could the lovely Ice Queen fall victim to the devil?"
Aisha Hathaway is the young blond girl sitting next to Jerry. She is Jerry's younger sister in this world and is 10 years old this year.
She has always enjoyed watching animated films about magic, and she frequently thought of myself as a magical princess or a queen. Simply put, she just thinks erratically, according to Jerry.
Jerry likewise believed that it was natural. In his past existence, he used to play Nine Swords with a branch held in his hand like a sword after school on the dirt road.
He once even showed off a little portion of a village neighbor's rapeseed field, leading his mother to follow him for three miles with a broom. He admits that it can be humiliating to simply think about the embarrassing things he did as a child at times.
"Hahaha, since you found out, I won't keep it a secret any longer. Ice Queen Aisha, I am The Demon Lord Jerry from the depths of the earth. Take this, the dark claws of death!"
Seeing that his sister could not be dealt with by speaking normally, Jerry had no choice but to join in. While tickling the little girl, while she was giggling, he secretly snatched her magic bubble wand and stuffed it into his schoolbag.
The school bus abruptly hit the brakes. Jerry, who was having fun with his sister, was nearly flung off his seat due to the powerful inertia.
Fortunately, he was quick enough to respond. He hugged his sister who was also going to be flung out while firmly clutching the handle next to him to steady his body.
The other kids weren't quite as good, though. As a result of the inertia, many of them either lost their balance and fell out of their chairs or started crying.
"Mr. Paul, what's going on?"
When the crying kids fell from their seats, Teacher Bill, who was in responsible of escorting them to the school bus, swiftly jumped up, helped them get back to their seats, and consoled them. When Jerry saw this, he also instructed his sister to descend and assist him.
"Damn, a car just blocked the path suddenly, and I almost hit them!" The school bus's middle-aged driver, Paul, responded angrily.
A loud bang was heard.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The school bus's door was then brutally kicked open numerous times after several gunshots were heard from within.

"Keep still and don't move, or I'll blast your heads off!"
Nearly two meters tall, a strong man carrying a gun broke onto the school bus while shouting angrily. He was also wearing a mask.
Then, bringing three sizable bags full of them, three other men entered with brandishing firearms and masks.
"Oh no, this is terrible!"
Jerry instantly went back to his seat to shield his sister inside after the gunfire since he sensed something was amiss. Indeed, the subsequent spectacle lived up to his unfavorable expectations.
"I'll blow your head off if you don't leave and go to the suburbs," he commanded.
The man placed the weapon on Paul the driver's head and gave him orders.
"Okay, okay… I'll get started right now."
Paul dared not comply because a powerful man was holding a gun to his head. He started the school bus right away, turned around, and headed for the suburbs in reverse. A police car's siren also arrived at this time from behind.
"They dare not fight back since this is a school bus. You two come here by opening the windows in the back."
Another masked man boarded the car following the muscular man and pointed his gun at Mrs. Belle, the other teacher on the school bus. He also offered directions to the other two masked man.
When they heard the words, the other two masked men nodded. Helped them flee the pursuing police cars as they entered the back and unlocked the glass windows.
Jerry hugged his younger sister Aisha while leaning against the back of the last row of seats. The sound of the firearms nearby and the joyful growls of the two masked men made his heart "thump" uncomfortably as well.
Although he had trained in martial arts for a number of years due to a past-life pastime, it would be easy for him to beat up two or three gangsters. He has always given his body the best workouts possible in this life, and he hardly has any competition his age.
Nevertheless, he has only just turned eleven this year, and his level of physical condition is lower than that of these robbers. Additionally, each of these criminals was carrying a gun.
"Demon Lord Jerry, are those demons under your command? Give me back my wand quickly, and let me, Ice Queen Aisha, punish them with magic!"
Aisha, who was being shielded by Jerry, excitedly put out her little head and started to touch Jerry's bookbag.
"We must exercise caution!" Jerry again pressed Aisha's small head down without saying a word.
"Given the circumstances, it is difficult to let the cops handle this. We have to rely on ourselves!"
Jerry sighed as he heard the distant sirens progressively fading, and as his eyes grew tense, a virtual panel appeared in front of him.

Only he can see this peculiar virtual panel, which mysteriously arose on the day he was reincarnated in this world. He has nearly ascertained the panel's overall goal after so many years of research and introductions.
First of all, as long as he performs good deeds, this panel will accrue red stars for him. Once the stars reach 5,000, he can swap them for special wizard blood, which will then transport him to a place where he can learn magic.
Additionally, he will enter a static state in the primary world in when he travels to the parallel world to learn magic, according to the introduction on the panel.
Jerry has been putting forth a lot of effort for a long time to carry out some good deeds within his abilities, including helping the grandmother cross the street, assisting neighbors with disabilities to pick up the trash, beating up classmates who enjoy bullying others, volunteering to do some housework, and so forth.
His academic performance is also among the finest since he has the soul of an adult.
He is therefore a very excellent person who is also what is usually referred to as a child by other people, whether in the eyes of family members at home, neighbors, or teachers at school.
He also learned that he would only receive rewards from this panel for good deeds, evil deeds will not result in punishment. The panel will not take away his red star. Such as, stealing items or children's lollipops will result in nothing.
[6000]
Jerry inhaled deeply before pressing the exchange button to the right of the number of little red stars that were currently located next to him on the control panel.
In reality, he had already amassed enough red stars by trading them for wizard blood half a year earlier to be able to enter the parallel world.
He has been debating whether or not to exchange it though. Considering that it is stated on the panel that if he passes away in the parallel universe, he will likewise pass away in the real world. If he sustains damage in the parallel universe, it will remain in his body when he comes back.
His current family is considered to be a little bourgeoisie, even if they are not wealthy.
He might also be thought of as leading a new life. If he puts a lot of effort into his academics, his future level of life won't be too bad. Is taking chances in the mysterious wizarding world truly necessary?
In his heart, Jerry truly prefers a serene and tranquil life to exhilarating escapades.
In his past life, he had the following aspirations. A home, a car, a wife who was kind and caring, hot food to eat after work, and holiday trips with his family.
It's unfortunate that those are difficult jobs for a young person from the country. It wasn't until his untimely passing in his previous life that he was able to scrape up enough cash for the down payment. However, he has since realized that he is currently in a deadly Marvel universe.
He realized that he and his family would be extremely unsafe in this life if he didn't have any personal strength after hearing the submachine pistol next to him. Even though Jerry prefers a quiet existence, he still has an option.
[Verify the transfer of wizard blood, began implanting…]
[Implanted successfully, start extracting small parallel worlds…]
[Successfully extracted the "Harry Potter" universe and started implanting identities…]
[Successful identity implantation, please proceed.]
[One month is the period for the first time you enter the world. Please utilize the red star to exchange more time if you need to keep learning in the future.]
Jerry noticed that the world he was in seemed to have come to a complete stop in an instant as lines of text appeared on display. At the same time, his eyes became dark, and he gradually lost consciousness.

1991, August 1st.
A young boy with dark hair who was at an orphanage in the village of Winton in London, Surrey, gently got out of bed.
"I didn't anticipate it to be the "Harry Potter" universe. Thankfully, I have seen every film in this series!"
The little boy exhaled a deep sigh of relief while rubbing his woozy temples. He had initially anticipated visiting a weird magical world, but he had not anticipated it to be the "Harry Potter" universe. Jerry became a little happier as a result.
Despite the fact that too much time has passed and many specifics are no longer clear in his recollection, he can still make out the broad outline of the plot.
He will be relatively safe in this world as long as he avoids the trio, at least until Voldemort's reappearance. It should be four or five years from now before Voldemort reappears.
Jerry started to sort out some knowledge about his identity in this world that had been ingrained in his consciousness as his brain felt less foggy. In this reality, he goes by the name Jerry Carmen as well, although he is an orphan. Edward Orphanage is the name of his orphanage.
There is only a brief introduction of the orphanage personnel and a few of the children as further information.
"Let's first get accustomed to the surroundings!"
Jerry was almost ready to leave the room after putting on his clothing and shoes when someone knocked on the window's glass. He turned around to see a long-eared gray owl tapping its claws on the shuttered window while holding a letter in its mouth.
"Could it be that? It's here so soon!"
After immediately turning around, Jerry approached the window, opened it, and let the owl inside. The owl flew inside, dropped the envelope on the table, and hooted at Jerry as if to solicit a snack.
Jerry gave the owl a polite but awkward shrug after taking a quick check around and pulling something from his pocket.
Once it realized this, the owl gave Jerry another "bad luck" hoot before spreading its wings and flying out the window. On the first day I arrived here, he had no idea that an owl would dislike him.
Jerry moved forward and picked up the letter that was laying on the table while helplessly shaking his head. The envelope is made of old parchment rather than common double-adhesive paper. A few lines in an odd shade of emerald green are inscribed on the face of the envelope.
[Recipient: Jerry Carmen
Address: Mr. Jerry Carmen, on the second floor of Edward Orphanage, Winton Township, Surrey County.]
Then flip it over, and you'll see a familiar wax seal there. The wax seal's top has a pattern with a giant letter "H" in the center with images of lions, eagles, badgers, and snakes surrounding it.
Two parchment pieces could be seen after opening the envelope. One was published about the books, supplies, and safety measures that first-year freshmen at Hogwarts must purchase. The second one has to do with the letter of official acceptance from Hogwarts.
[Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore
[President of the International Federation of Wizards, the first-class great magician of Sir Merlin, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot.]
[Dear Mr. Jerry Carmen,
We are happy to let you know that your application to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been accepted. A list of necessary reading materials and tools is enclosed.
On September 1st, the semester is supposed to begin. Tomorrow morning at 9:00, I will personally visit the Edward Orphanage and return your letter.
Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall.]
Putting away the acceptance letter from Hogwarts, Jerry muttered to himself, "Alright, if you start early, you will be able to go to Diagon Alley to buy magic books and learn magic earlier, so that when you go back a month later, you will be able to deal with those robbers with guns!"

When Jerry learned that Professor McGonagall would be stopping by the following day, he woke up early. He visited the entire orphanage after obtaining the admissions letter from Hogwarts yesterday.
This orphanage called Edward was founded by a businessman named Edward twenty years prior to his passing, according to the knowledge supplied in his thoughts. The building's original purpose was to save those unfortunate orphans who had been abandoned for a variety of causes.
It's unfortunate that things significantly altered once the old man passed away.
It's not terribly horrible. Though, it's only that the kids' meals and care have been drastically cut back, and the staff at the orphanage is less amiable than previously.
According to Jerry, this is also a trait of people. Nowadays, it is thought to be quite excellent that there is no child abuse in settings like orphanages.
In a past life, he had read in the newspaper that children's bones were frequently discovered buried in the yard of several orphanages in the 1980s and 1990s. Some institutions that go by the name of "orphanages" are actually illegal institutions.
There is a saying that reads, "The world's prosperity is for profit, and the world's disorder is for more profit!"
He had previously put a lot of effort into doing good actions and actively aiding others. The Little Red Star was the only target of his initial plan. He probably wouldn't have made an effort to assist those folks he didn't know if it weren't for the red stars.
When he was walking to school, he would rush to assist anyone who had fallen in the road. But if it was the way of life he chose like before, if anyone falls to the ground, he would've just simply ignored it.
The numerous kind people and good things he performed in order to obtain Little Red Star did have some influence on him if he wants to live this life again and be an honest person.
Because, despite the fact that he really doesn't want to accept it, he learned that when he is sincerely appreciated by others, and it does make him feel incredibly pleased from it.

Jerry arrived at the orphanage's front yard after waiting in line for a straightforward breakfast.
He recalled that Professor McGonagall was an Animagus and that he enjoyed changing into a cat when he entered the Muggle world. As a result, he stood to watch in the front yard in the hopes that he would eventually witness the magical event of a cat changing into a person.
Jerry scowled and turned to gaze toward the right side of the expansive yard thirty minutes later as he was hiding in a corner and to scan the surrounding walls for cats and cats.
There were three youngsters there, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old…
Jerry recalls that these three thirteen-year-old boys are the orphanage's three eldest children. They enjoy using their strength to intimidate the younger orphans.
He fears that any orphan who refuses to listen to them will endure years of vicious bullying at their hands.
The orphanage kids were quite wary of these three boys. They didn't dare move forward at all when they observed the young guy being bullied.
Actually, there have been victims in the past who have reported this scenario to the orphanage staff, but the staff did not take it seriously and instead only verbally scolded the three of them. However, the victim who made a tiny report was punished by the three youths for a long time.
The staff members of these orphanages essentially don't care about anything as long as the children aren't subjected to any severe violence. Conflicts between kids are meaningless.
The young child who is currently being bullied and battered has recently moved into the orphanage, thus he was singled out by these three teenagers.
After giving it some thought, Jerry decided not to speak up. Even if he were to assist the lad now, he believed the youngster would face bullying after he left the orphanage and entered Hogwarts.
Besides, there is no benefit. When the time comes to fight, the visiting Professor McGonagall may have a bad impression.
He finally stood up with a sigh, after hearing the three youngsters' haughty laughter.
"I'm not trying to be sentimental. I simply want to give it a try. Can you also receive Little Red Stars if you perform good things in this world? Yes, this is only an experiment that is required!"
Jerry rapidly moved forward after speaking for a short while and said, "Stop!"
The three adolescents halted abruptly after hearing Jerry's voice, then turned to look at him as he approached, seeming surprised. They weren't prepared for some of the orphanage kids to dare to yell at them, especially Jerry, who was typically quiet.
"It appears that you want to be like this newbie too, huh?" With malice in their hearts, the three let go of the young child who was sobbing and stepped in front of Jerry.
The disobedience of the newbies is comprehensible, but if older residents like Jerry, who have lived at the orphanage for five or six years, dare to rebel, they will suffer harsh punishment.
"Everybody is an orphan, it's difficult. Why would you do such a thing?
Jerry replied calmly as he turned to face the three teens, who were all a full head higher than him. Most of them, with the exception of a few kids who were raised in orphanages, will experience some psychological issues.
It's acceptable for those who simply feel inadequate, they fear this type of inferiority complex, but they want to feel stronger by mistreating and harassing those who are less capable than themselves.
"Wrong. In my opinion, you're all complete twaddle. Making yourself happy is your first responsibility." The tallest and heaviest of the three youths cast a sarcastic glance in all directions.
"I don't want to bully kids, but if I don't give you a lesson, you might go into trouble later".
Jerry also figured it out at this point. Before school started, he had to spend a month in the orphanage. Even without today's tragedy, these three individuals would eventually clash with him due to their characteristics.
That being the case, why not defeat them all at once? which may be seen as sparing some future difficulty.
Jerry shook his head and casually placed his T-shirt and coat on the table next to him, showing a slim torso below. Jerry was less than 1.4 meters tall and only eleven years old at the time, but his muscles were incredibly powerful.
It's the kind of little muscle groups that are like steel bars rather than the large muscles that fitness gurus train. When he put on his clothing, this made him appear a little slender, but when he took them off, he appeared to be a different person.

He actually has a lot of time to exercise in this life without the interruptions of job and education.
In his prior life, he had a lifelong passion in martial arts. He thought he was a supreme master when he was younger since he could play with a stick for a very long time.
He fell in love with Jeet Kune Do when he was a little older because he watched Bruce Lee movies. He even bought a Jeet Kune Do manual with his pocket money so he could train covertly.
He even joined the martial arts club while he was in college, where he received some guidance that was largely conventional. In the end, he represented the club by taking part in contests and winning prizes. Simply put, it was put on hold after graduation since he became overly preoccupied with work.
He began working out his physique early on after being reborn in this incarnation, free from the stress of life, and only then did he have the toned muscles he does now.
He still had no trouble dealing with these thirteen or fourteen-year-old youngsters, even though he couldn't handle the bulky gun-wielding thieves in the school bus. He also felt that his body had changed in marvelous ways since he had been merged with the wizard blood.
It's not that the speed or power have increased. Rather, there is a sense that the essence of existence has been sublimated.
Wizards are incredibly resilient even though their physical strength isn't much more than that of the average person. Arms and legs missing are fairly common. They can survive as long as they don't pass away right away and can keep going 'till they can get back in touch with magic and potions.
"What the heck is this moron doing? He thought that he could defeat us." The leader chuckled.
"I believe that his little body is attempting to make close touch with my fist!" Jerry was struck in the stomach by another child after he cruelly displayed a fist the size of a sandbag.
Jerry quickly kicked the boy's waist after slipping back to avoid the assault. It turned out that he only needed one kick to knock him to the ground.
He kicked and didn't even stop. He quickly knocked one of them down again after swinging his legs back and slamming the face of the boy on the other side who hadn't yet reacted.
Even though Jerry is just eleven years old, the lads in front of him who are thirteen or fourteen years old have considerably bigger muscles and strength than Jerry does.
In addition, he has been practicing Jeet Kune Do diligently for years and cannot possibly be any more versed with the motions. He has improved a little from his playing days in international universities.
These few kids who spend their entire day harassing the weak are obviously not powerfully enemies. The large boy in the lead roared and raced towards Jerry after spotting the two smaller brothers screaming and falling to the ground.
His body is more than double Jerry's size, and he is taller than Jerry. He thinks that as long as he runs into the enemy and then applies more intense pressure, he won't be able to move.
"Too naive!"
Jerry sneered at the leading fat boy who ran into him, and instead of ducking, he crept up behind him, cutting into the midst of the fat boy's line. He then inhaled deeply, kicked his right foot on the ground, twisted his waist, shot his hips forward, and continued moving.
"Take this!"
The overweight boy was launched two meters away when a huge force suddenly erupted, striking him directly in the abdomen. The other orphans who were watching were shocked to see the orphanage trio groan and cry on the ground after being struck three times by Jerry.
They didn't anticipate that the trio would be in such a precarious situation today, let alone that Jerry, who is normally reserved, would be so strong.
"What are you waiting for? Revenge if you have a grudge!" Jerry reminded the other orphans who were still in a fog by picking up the garments and putting them on once more.
He simply stripped off his clothing out of concern for avoiding getting dirty. He can't get too dirty because Professor McGonagall will be here later. He underestimated by the three teenagers.
He only hit them once, and they were so painful that they were unwilling to engage in a ground battle with him since they relied on humiliating the weak to give them joy and satisfaction. He would actually get in trouble if the three teens were in a more brutal condition.
Those orphans who were used to being bullied suddenly had their eyes light up at hearing Jerry's admonition. They exchanged glances before starting to slowly approach the three screaming youngsters on the ground.
Jerry couldn't help but sigh as he observed the three youths who had been kicked and punched by the orphans, "Unity is strength!"
Jerry's most recent punch was delivered with a little bit of restraint. These trio's physique should prevent any major issues at this time. However, they were absolutely no match for the beatings inflicted against those orphans, and they were swiftly beaten over the head.
These three teens are more than capable of handling two or three orphans, but if there are several dozen orphans present, even the three of them will not be able to handle the others.
You'll discover that the seemingly unbeatable individual is simply nothing after the terror in your heart has been removed.
The majority of the orphans' dread of the trio was allayed after Jerry defeated them in the orphanage. He believes that after this series of beatings, even if he is not in the orphanage, they won't be terrified of the trio any longer.
"Huh, you can actually obtain them."
Jerry opened the panel after dressing. He was a little taken aback to observe that there were now 1005 red stars instead of 1000 after the crossing.
Originally, he thought that the little red star could only be obtained in the main world, but he didn't expect to be able to get it after entering the small world. In this way, it's pretty good, at least there is one more world to get the little red star.
When Jerry opened the panel and turned to face the school gate once more, he saw a tabby cat that had previously been perched on top of the wall and was now staring in this direction.
"That can't be Professor McGonagall."
Jerry shouted at the orphans, while feigning calmness and turning his head away, "Okay, you can stop!"
The orphans stopped assaulting the three teenagers as soon as they heard the words. They were still adamantly convinced as they faced Jerry, who had just handily defeated the trio.
"Ahem, I hate violence very much. I hope that we who are dealing with the same issue can continue to work toward personal growth, support one another as friends, and collaborate. We'll contribute abilities to society in the future and show our enthusiasm."
Even though they didn't entirely understand, the orphans enthusiastically applauded when they heard the words.
Jerry nodded before addressing the three teenagers with bumps and bruises, "In the past, you used your maturity to bully and do bad things in the orphanage to other, younger orphans. You have a lesson to learn today. "
"We are all orphans. Everyone will accept you going forward as long as you recognize your errors and make the necessary corrections. Do you understand?"
The three teens, who had swollen faces and battered noses, hurriedly responded after seeing Jerry's eyes, "Okay, okay, okay!"

Jerry thought back to his remarks from earlier in the yard and felt that Professor McGonagall shouldn't have a terrible impression after hearing them in the orphanage. Although he physically assaulted a few youngsters, his justification for doing so can be seen as a righteous deed.
Knock Knock Knock*
"Coming!"
When Jerry heard the knock on the door, his eyes brightened up, and he stood up to open the door right away. The current director of the Edward Orphanage knocked on the door, and next to him stood a woman in her forties or sixties with square spectacles, a Scottish shirt, and a green robe.
"This is the Jerry Carmen you are looking for, Mrs. McGonagall!" Jerry could tell the dean was respectful from his tone, but he also appeared a little scared.
It appears that before Professor McGonagall visited the orphanage, she spoke with the director of the institution to explain the situation and demonstrate her wizarding prowess.
"Dean Bryant, Thank you. I'd like to speak with Mr. Carmen alone."
"No problem. I'll be heading that way." Bryant hastily nodded before hurriedly leaving the room.
"Greetings, Mr. Carmen." After locking the door, Professor McGonagall entered the space. She met Jerry first.
Jerry looked at Professor McGonagall and asked politely, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"I will be your future teacher in the Transfiguration class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as well as the vice principal of the institution. I'll go by Professor McGonagall." Prof. McGonagall gave an explanation.
Jerry instantly feigned that he had an epiphany, "The letter that the owl sent yesterday was written by you, so does magic actually exist in this world? In what location is the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
When they receive the admissions letter, young wizards who were raised in a Muggle environment will likely have similar reservations. McGonagall is accustomed to this and is skilled at winning the young wizard's trust.
She drew out her wand, pointed at the cup on the table in the room, a beam of magic light shot out, and the cup immediately turned into a fat big orange cat.
"There has always been magic. You ought to have had some fantastic experiences growing up. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a school that teaches you how to study and control magic. Those are the powers that come from the blood in your body."
Jerry's eyes grew wider as he observed Professor McGonagall perform magic tricks. Although he had seen the movies in his previous life, the impression was quite different when he witnessed someone waving their hand and transforming a cup into a cat.
Turning non-living matter into the living matter in an instant, Jerry felt that this was indeed very magical.
Twenty minutes later,
"This describes the overall situation. Do you have any further questions?"
Jerry posed the final question after realizing he had fully accepted her as his story. "Professor, you should be aware that I am financially unable to attend Hogwarts to study magic despite my strong desire to do so."
After giving it some thought, Jerry posed his own question. He recalled that in the movie, the young wizard who was born into a Muggle family was able to exchange Muggle money for Galleons, but he assumed that the orphanage he was in would not be willing to provide him with money so that he could attend Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall grinned, "You shouldn't be concerned about it. You will receive a stipend from the school for your regular study. After you graduate and begin working, you can repay it."
"All right, then I'm good to go!" Jerry nodded. The general scenario has previously been stated by Professor McGonagall. He has a basic understanding of certain important things thanks to his memory.
"Well, Mr. Carmen, it appears that you are not only exceedingly brave but also have a powerful capacity for comprehending." Jerry was extremely calm when Professor McGonagall stared at him with a satisfied expression in her eyes.
Professor McGonagall had earlier watched the bullying event unfold in the yard from the orphanage's gate, and she had been quite impressed by Jerry's performance at the time.
She believed that few adult magicians today exhibited the courage and maturity displayed by the eleven-year-old boy at that time, as well as the optimistic attitude in his comments.
Professor McGonagall's assessment of Jerry at this stage could be summed up as follows, "This child will grow up to be a great wizard."
—-
"Okay, I will take you to Diagon Alley today and get everything you need to start school since you already understand and are willing to study magic at Hogwarts." After checking the time on her pocket watch, Professor McGonagall got up from her chair.
"Diagon Alley?" Jerry had a surprised expression on his face.
It's not that he doesn't know Diagon Alley. Rather, he merely didn't anticipate that Professor McGonagall would personally accompany him to acquire school supplies after the home visit. But after giving it some time to think about it, he finally got it.
A Hogwarts teacher most definitely doesn't need to accompany a young wizard from a typical wizarding family to Diagon Alley. As long as the wizard of the Muggle family makes it obvious to his parents that he has parents, there shouldn't be any issues.
Hermione's parents always went with her when she went to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies. If Professor McGonagall doesn't accompany him to Diagon Alley because he is an orphan, then who will?
Expecting the orphanage's director to also take care of it would be unreliable.
"It's a street where wizarding things are sold exclusively. You must visit there in order to buy everything you need for school." Professor McGonagall thought that Jerry didn't know what Diagon Alley did, so she explained it a bit.
Jerry recalled that Diagon Alley appeared to be someplace in the city of London and that the small town of Winton, where he was stationed, was not that close to the city of London. He asked, "Then how do we go there? Is it by train?"
Professor McGonagall didn't say much, but held out an arm to Jerry, saying, "No, hold my arm. It may feel uncomfortable for a while, but you need to bear with me."
Jerry's heart pounded as he wondered, and he had an idea right away.
Jerry seized Professor McGonagall's arm, and sure enough, he saw Professor McGonagall pull out her wand once more and said, "Off we go!"
Jerry instantly sensed that Professor McGonagall's arm was ready to slip away from his own, so he tightened his hold on it. Jerry immediately experienced total darkness, followed by a crackling sound like to firecrackers and hard squeezes from all sides.
He was completely unable to breathe, and his chest felt as though it were being restrained by many iron hoops. His eardrums were buried deep inside his skull, and his eyeballs were pushed back into his head. This sensation is similar to being forced out of a very small rubber tube.
Light returned to his eyes what looked like just a moment after a considerable amount of time had elapsed.
He turned his head and took a few long breaths to calm the wooziness in his head. He and Professor McGonagall were no longer in the orphanage's room. Instead, they were seen walking down a street.

"Are you okay?" Professor McGonagall asked with some concern.
Jerry waved his hands while grinning and asking, "Where is it? I'm alright, just a little dizzy."
He understood that the spell Professor McGonagall just performed was Apparition, an advanced magic that only adult wizards can learn.
Teleportation is the main idea of Apparition. You can teleport anywhere in your head as long as it is a location you have visited. It is used as a transportation method for wizards.
But mastering apparition is no simple task. Apparation is difficult for many adult wizards to do flawlessly, and one could be torn apart by the strength of space.
Additionally, the magic power contained in the wizard's body and their level of skill with this magic are both tied to the apparition distance. While some wizards can apparate directly from one city to another, others can only apparate for a few hundred kilometers.
Professor McGonagall certainly belongs to the latter group, but she also employed the follower apparition and it's the same that she used to Jerry. She has the ability to transport individuals as well as objects.
Jerry simply assumed that Professor McGonagall would take him straight to Diagon Alley, but it appears that he instead showed up on a random street.
"This is the gateway to Diagon Alley from a street in London's Charing Cross Street. You must keep in mind the name and address of this street because you must visit it alone the next time you are in Diagon Alley."
It comes out that Professor McGonagall sees Jerry as a young child who has no knowledge of the wizarding world. Naturally, she must accompany him so that he can feel what it's like to enter Diagon Alley as a regular wizard, preparing him for the day when he can do so on his own.
"Diagon Alley's entrance is that pub over there, as you can see."
Jerry's eyes followed Professor McGonagall's finger, passing by a high-end movie theater and a well-known hamburger joint before settling in the middle of a sizable bookstore and a record store on the opposite side.
The Leaky Cauldron was the lone sign hanging on the door of the little, filthy bar, which also had an ancient wooden door and a damaged sign.
Even though this tiny pub is situated in the center of a spotless bookstore and record shop, it looks out of place. But everyone who was walking by turned their backs on it, pretending they couldn't see it at all.
Jerry understood that this modest bar was actually invisible to common Muggles since it had been rendered invisible by the Repelling Muggles Spell, which prevents Muggles devoid of wizard blood from noticing and approaching it.
Dingling*
When the wooden door was forced open, the bell rang, and Jerry was carried by Professor McGonagall inside the Leaky Cauldron.
There weren't many patrons in the bar, and the entire interior was rather gloomy. A cursory check revealed that only seven or eight wizards were conversing and drinking. All the wizards in the bar looked away when the bell rang.
They all nodded formally when they realized it was Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall is well-known across the entire wizarding community as the vice principal of Hogwarts and the dean of Gryffindor, and many wizards today can genuinely be considered her students.
Jerry recalled that in Newt's memory, Professor McGonagall was already teaching at Hogwarts when he watched "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his past life.
In other words, Professor McGonagall has taught countless pupils over the course of her at least fifty years as a teacher at Hogwarts.
"Oh, it's Professor McGonagall, do you need something to drink?"
A smiling old wizard who looked like a wrecked walnut and had virtually all of his hair cut off met Professor McGonagall at this time.
"No need, Tom. I'm accompanying a freshman to Diagon Alley." Professor McGonagall rejected it while waving her hand.
With the exception of the house visits each year prior to the commencement of classes, she hardly ever leaves Hogwarts since her husband Elphinstone unexpectedly passed away from poisonous tentacle bites.
"He looks a bit too young, isn't he?"
Jerry looked at Tom, the bar owner at the time, and thought to himself as he followed Professor McGonagall through the pub and out to the backyard.
He recalled that in the movie, when Voldemort first started school, this man already owned the Leaky Cauldron, and they were both named Tom.
Under the green brick wall adjacent to the garbage can in the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron. Jerry was given an explanation by Professor McGonagall after three taps with his wand on the wall.
"The door to Diagon Alley will appear if you count three blocks along the top of the garbage can, two blocks to the left, then tap three times with your wand."
The cracked blue brick began to tremble as Professor McGonagall withdrew her wand. The wall immediately started to reorganize once the blue brick started to tremble, as if it had triggered some mechanism.
The brick wall soon developed a small hole in the center, which gradually grew larger and larger.
A broad archway that could accommodate four or five persons passing through at once soon appeared in front of them. The archway opened up to a narrow, meandering street of cobblestones.
It is the shopping block for wizards in London – Diagon Alley!
Jerry couldn't help but feel a little more enthusiastic as he followed Professor McGonagall through the archway and into Diagon Alley.
The movie's scenes had a real-world counterpart. His eyes were wide open despite his mental preparation due to the stunning scene in front of him.
Ordinary folks don't dress in fashionable clothing and carry bags outside, as opposed to wearing cool summer clothing. The majority of the street is occupied by wizards brandishing wands while donning variously colored wizard robes.
Of course, there are many house elves and goblins, as well as different wizards' pets.
"Copper, brass, pewter, and silver crucibles, complete models, automatic stirring, foldable, and retractable, come in and have a look!"
"Grey forest owl, horned owl, grass owl, brown owl, snow owl, all kinds of owls!"
"The latest Nimbus 2000, the fastest broom, get it while you still can!"
"Dragon liver, bat spleen, eel eyeball, spell book, quill pen, parchment, medicine bottle, moon globe, for a cheap price!"
In front of the shops on both sides of the street, various small advertising signs were hung up, and many excited little wizards were also crowded.
"Do you have the letter with you?" McGonagall asked Jerry, who was already perplexed, as they approached a store.
"Got it." Jerry nodded to Professor McGonagall as he pulled the parchment package he received the day before out of his pocket.
"Okay, take out a list of necessary goods inside. I'll take you to get them one at a time," Professor McGonagall said with a nod.
Hearing this, Jerry took out the second page of letter paper from the envelope, unfolded it and read it:
Necessary supplies for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
1. Uniforms:
2. Textbook:
3. Other equipment:
4. Description of pets:
Parents are reminded that first-year freshmen are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks.

The Hogwarts stipend is one hundred Galleons per year, and there is no need to go to Gringotts to pick it up. Professor McGonagall has already brought it during her home visit. There are three main currencies in the wizarding world, Gold Galleons, Silver Sickles, and Copper Knuts.
One Galleon is equal to 17 Sickles, and one Sickle is equal to 29 Knuts.
"There are many things to buy, Mr. Carmen, therefore we might need to get the large one first. We also require a small cart."
Jerry was being guided by Professor McGonagall across the crowded area when they arrived at a store selling trinkets. Jerry purchased a telescope, a brass balance, a set of glass or crystal vials, a tiny cart, and a super-sized suitcase from this shop.
Then they purchased a cauldron from a store with a glowing "Potage" sign.
"Would you choose an owl, cat, or toad as a pet?"
Professor McGonagall inquired Jerry as he exited the Cauldron Store and turned to look at the Eeylops Owl Emporium next to her.
"Pets?" Jerry had a contemplative expression on his face.
In reality, Jerry has no plans to keep animals as pets. He hadn't been a pet owner in his prior life, after all.
"Young wizards now prefer owls because they are more practical and can assist deliver messages and gifts," Jerry didn't seem to know much about pets, so Professor McGonagall suggested some of the most well-liked animals at Hogwarts.
"An owl? Ignore that, let's buy a cat. Cats appeal to me more."
Indeed, owls are incredibly useful to young wizards. They can assist with letter and gift delivery. Cats and toads appear to play only the role of eating, relative to other animals. But Jerry was aware that a cat by the name of Crookshanks was located in a pet store in Diagon Alley.
It was the smartest cat Sirius had ever tested. It could not only discern between Animagus who had assumed animal forms and those who were corrupt or suspicious. It can also work out some issues on its own, without assistance or direction.
Jerry believed that if he had to maintain a pet, it would be wise to keep a cat with such secrets.
The idea is that Ron's mouse, Scabber, who was changed into Peter Pettigrew, shouldn't dare to approach him once Crookshanks is there.
The school has public owls that are available for viewing. There is an owl post office outside and it doesn't cost any money, so why not raise one yourself?
"Cats? Few wizards choose to keep cats as pets."
Professor McGonagall was a little taken aback, but she smiled nonetheless. Her Animagus is a tabby cat, hence Professor McGonagall is obviously a cat person.
She advised Jerry to purchase owls because they are currently a popular choice for new wizards to purchase as pets and because they are in fact more beneficial to young wizards than cats. She will be delighted if Jerry opts for a cat as a pet, though.
"I prefer cats." Jerry grinned and shrugged.
"Okay then, after that, we must later travel to the Magical Menagerie. Only owls are pets in this establishment."
With a smile, Professor McGonagall directed Jerry to Madam Malkin's robe shop, which was located next to the owl shop.
"You go in and try on the clothes first, and I'll go across the street to assist you in buying books, and then we'll go ahead to the Magical Menagerie to buy pets," she said.
"No problem!" Jerry nodded, and went straight into Mrs. Malkin's shop.
"What a courageous little child."
McGonagall couldn't resist sighed when she observed Jerry in this foreign surroundings. Aside from being intrigued, Jerry didn't exhibit any nervousness at all. He even didn't hesitate to go to the store by himself to try on clothes.
"Do you intend to purchase Hogwarts school uniforms, my love?" A small, chubby witch greeted Jerry with a big smile as soon as he opened the door and entered the shop.
"Yes, please provide me with three sets of plain wizard robes, a simple hat for everyday use, a pair of protective dragonhide gloves, and a black cloak with silver buttons for the winter."
Jerry respectfully responded to the chubby witch's query by listing each item one by one in accordance with the specifications he had read on the paper.
"Oh, don't worry, there are many of them in this area. Sincere to say, a young girl is currently trying on clothing here!" The chubby witch grinned and indicated the store's back.
Jerry observed the young child standing on the footstool by following the chubby witch's fingers. The child had thick, unruly brown hair that was curled, and her front teeth resembled those of a rabbit.
A witch was measuring something with a tape measure next to her while wearing a black robe that was pinned up.
"Hey, did you attend Hogwarts as well?"
The small girl next to him asked him in a quite forceful manner as Jerry stood on the footstool and the witch also dressed him in a black robe and began measuring.
"Yes, this year I am a freshman." Jerry grins.
If Jerry had been an eleven-year-old boy, he could have felt a bit insulted if a young woman addressed him in a condescending manner. But after eleven years of travel and his prior life, Jerry is actually an elderly guy in his early forties.
He thought the young girl was quite adorable when he saw her speaking to him in a commanding manner.
"I was really astonished when I received the offer because no one in my family is a wizard, but I was also thrilled because it's the best magic school I've ever heard of."
The young girl was a bit chatty, so while she was waiting on the footstool and unable to move, she spoke with Jerry.
"You seem to know a lot, I must say!" Jerry gave her a praise.
The girl proudly raised her chin, "No doubt. I had a lot of questions for Professor McGonagall when she visited my house yesterday, and I now plan to memorize all of the texts before classes begin. I'll undoubtedly be the magician with the finest grades by then!"
"Oh, that's for sure. You are not an ordinary person, as I can tell just by looking at you. You'll undoubtedly develop into a fantastic wizard in the future!"
What a fascinating young girl. Jerry extended his hand from under the black robe, gave the child the thumbs-up, and remarked with a smile in his heart.
"Hermione, when will you be done? We have now purchased everything but the textbooks!"
A middle-aged couple entered the house carrying a cart at this precise moment and spoke to the young girl who was speaking with Jerry.

"Let's be friends, my name is Hermione Granger!"
Jerry was approached by Hermione, who extended her right hand. The young boy in front of her seemed to fit her perfectly and was unlike any of the other students she had ever encountered.
"Jerry Carmen!" Jerry was first surprised by Hermione's introduction, but he quickly got over it and extended his hand to shake hers.
"Jerry, I'm going to buy textbooks, see you when school starts!" Hermione returned to her parents, waved to Jerry, and left Madam Malkin's robe store.
"I'll see you when school starts."
The moment the Hermione family had totally vanished, Jerry's face grew puzzled. Is that thick, curling brown hair actually her?
In comparison to the movies he has seen, this looks to be a little bit different. He recalls how stunning Hermione looked in the film. But speaking of it, the young girl he just met ought to be attractive as well if she had her hair styled and her front teeth straightened.
In spite of the fact that the young girl has large eyes and otherwise normal facial features, she lacks fashion sense and her front teeth detract from her appearance.
"Dear, it's ready." The chubby Mrs. Malkin arrived at Jerry ten minutes later with a bag containing Hogwarts outfits.
"Okay thank you!" Jerry paid the fee, put the clothes into the suitcase, pulled the trolley and opened the door, and walked out of Madam Malkin's robe store.
"Professor McGonagall!"
Jerry waved immediately when he noticed Professor McGonagall approaching him while holding a bundle of magic books as soon as he stepped outside.
"Okay, the only items remaining are pets and wands. Let's first visit the Magic Menagerie as Ollivander's Wand Shop lies at the end of Diagon Alley."
Professor McGonagall placed the magic book in the luggage and then picked up Jerry and the cart to continue exploring Diagon Alley. When passing by Florin's Cold Drinks, he also bought Jerry a Barley ice cream.
"That's Gringotts Bank, a wizarding bank run by goblins. If you need to store valuables in the future, you can also come to this bank. It's very safe."
Professor McGonagall watched Jerry set his eyes on the tall white building on the right, and patiently explained to him. But around midway through, she remembered the Gringotts theft from yesterday, which made her tone less assured.
Jerry indicated his comprehension by nodding.
Actually, he wasn't gazing at the bank at the moment. Instead, he was looking how ugly the goblins in this world are as he observed the two of them keeping watch at the door.
"By the way, Mr. Carmen, I want to warn you not to enter that lane if you visit Diagon Alley alone in the future."
Suddenly taking a serious expression, Professor McGonagall pointed in the direction of a little, dim alley that was just across from Gringotts.
"Why?" Jerry's mind twitched, but he already had an idea.
"That's Knockturn Alley, and you only need to be aware that it's a dangerous alley for you," Professor McGonagall retorted while maintaining a straight expression.
"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Jerry gave a solemn nod.
He believes Professor McGonagall to be the kind of person who has a bean curd heart and a knife mouth. She can compete with other Hogwarts teacher when it comes to helping new wizards even if he typically has a melancholy countenance.
Professor McGonagall appeared at ease when she observed Jerry's maturity and led him to continue strolling toward the Magic Menagerie.
The Joke Store and Gringotts are both close to the Magical Menagerie. Although the store is small, there are a good number of animals there. As soon as Jerry entered the store, he noticed that the entire wall was covered in closely spaced iron cages.
There's a big purple toad gorging on dead blowflies, a frighteningly big turtle with a shell on its back that glistens like a jewel, a white rabbit that can turn into a satin top hat at any time, and all kinds of stuff. Colorful cats, mice and ravens and more.
"Professor McGonagall, you are here. What do you need?" A young witch with thick black glasses saw Professor McGonagall at the door, and immediately greeted her with a respectful tone.
"Pavla, I'm bringing the freshmen over here to buy a pet for school."
A smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face. "How's your day? Is the work going well?"
"Very good. The boss treats me well. I can give you a 20% discount on what kind of pet the little guy likes!" The young witch helped her eyes, lowered her head and smiled and asked Jerry.
"Ma'am, I want a cat!" Jerry scanned the entire store with his eyes, and soon found his target.
"Look at this gray cat with short fur. It's very calm and ideal for keeping as a pet." The moment the young witch heard the words, she went to her closet and pulled out the most stunning pair of British shorts, which she then set in front of Jerry.
"I prefer that type of cat," Jerry said, pointing to the large-faced yellow cat that was sleeping on the top cage on the top of the wall after taking a look and shaking his head.
He recalled that Hermione's cat appeared to be a long-haired yellow cat, and he was now referring to the only animal in the entire store who was suitable.
"Crookshanks?" A look of surprise appeared on the young witch's face.
Because of his appearance, Crookshanks had been in the store for several years and no one wanted him. She never thought that Jerry would fall in love with him immediately.
"Yes, I think It's very cute!" Jerry opened his eyes.
"That is wonderful. I've been concerned that it won't be taken care of properly. I'm hoping you can look after it well in the future!"
At one time, Pavla attended Hogwarts as a Hufflepuff student. After graduating, she took a job as a clerk in the Fantastic Beasts shop in Diagon Alley since she enjoyed magical animals.
She was pleased that Jerry had acquired Crookshanks, not because another business had been completed, but rather because Crookshanks had found a new owner who liked it.
"Even though it's my first time having a pet, I'll do my best to care for it." Jerry's tone had a tinge of earnestness.
—-
Jerry hugged Crookshanks, who was dozing off in his arms, before leaving Magical Menagerie and following Professor McGonagall to the last store at the end of Diagon Alley. That is Ollivander's Wand Shop, which has been producing expert wands for ages.
The method for selecting a wand was the same as in the film, the owner measured it at him with a measuring tape before starting to put the wand on.
There was nothing special about the procedure compared to everyday individuals. It was the same as that of small wizards in general. After all, the blood he traded was ordinary magical blood.
Jerry quickly discovered a more practical wand after testing two or three.
"Alder wood, dragon's heart nerve, eleven inches long, it seems that you must be a helpful little wizard!"
Ollivander said with a smile and pointing at the magic wand that Jerry was waving, "Alder is a kind of hard-to-bend wood, but I found that its perfect owner is not a stubborn person, but those wizards who are kind, thoughtful, and lovable."
"But, are you kind enough to help the others?"
Jerry had a peculiar smile on his face as he listened to Ollivander's explanation and turned to face the wand in his hand.
Report chapter Comments
After leaving Ollivander's wand shop, it was already noon, Professor McGonagall paid for Jerry and Crookshanks to have lunch at the Leaky Cauldron, and then they came to the streets of Diagon Alley again.
Jerry watched as Professor McGonagall took out her wand and pointed at the large suitcase and small cart, a blue magic light flashed, and the full suitcase and small cart became only the size of a palm up.
"Okay, we should go back!" Professor McGonagall picked up the large suitcase and small trolley and put them in her pocket, then stretched out her arm.
"Okay!" Jerry was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, grabbing Professor McGonagall's extended arm.
With a wave of the wand, Professor McGonagall and Jerry disappeared from the streets of Diagon Alley.
"What a fantastic spell." Jerry felt the need to sigh as he gazed at the well-known orphanage room.
"Once you leave Hogwarts, casting these spells is easy. Of course, the assumption is that you work hard to study!" After casting the magic to shrink, Professor McGonagall removed the enormous luggage and little trolley from her pocket and spoke to Jerry.
"I will!" Jerry set down Crookshanks while giving a solemn nod.
Naturally, he will study magic thoroughly because magic is the only skill he can currently master that will allow him to defend himself in the dangerous world he lives in. No matter what, he had to put 200% of his energy into mastering magic if he wanted to survive.
"This will get you into Hogwarts. It says on the ticket to meet at King's Cross Station on September 1. By then, your dean will have driven you there. I've already told him in advance. You'll pay attention when the time comes."
Professor McGonagall was much more cautious than Hagrid, who quickly handed Harry the ticket and left. In addition to ordering Jerry to leave the orphanage, she also directed him to board the Hogwarts Express. She discussed potential issues that might come up during the meeting with him.
Jerry eventually grinned and informed Professor McGonagall that, "I already remember it, professor. Don't worry, I'll arrive at there on time with the Hogwarts Express!"
McGonagall nodded in agreement. "Then, Mr. Carmen, I'll see you when classes start, and I think Gryffindor would be a great home for you."
After leaving the last sentence, Professor McGonagall waved his magic wand, used Apparition, and disappeared in place.
"Gryffindor, huh?" Seeing Professor McGonagall disappear, Jerry couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment.
In reality, Gryffindor and Slytherin were the first houses to be eliminated when he realized this was the "Harry Potter" universe, and Ravenclaw was his first pick, followed by Hufflepuff.
After all, his first goal was to learn magic and become a better person in this world while maintaining his mental stability.
However, Gryffindor is a group of irresponsible people and always the ones that cause trouble because they are adept at everything. Slytherin is not someone you want to mess with because there are considerable class tensions.
He is unlikely to be able to study peacefully in either of the dorms.
With intelligence and intelligence being the selection criteria for pupils, Ravenclaw is unquestionably the top in terms of the learning environment. Since they all excel in school and collaborate on their studies, he must make quick progress.
Hufflepuff is also a decent option if Ravenclaw is not assigned. Hufflepuff wizards are typically nice and honest. If nothing else, they won't obstruct his academic pursuits.
But now that Professor McGonagall appears to value him and encourage him to join Gryffindor so that he might gain some notoriety in this world, Gryffindor appears to be an option.
"But it's still a month away from the selection, so let's first study a few magic spells. So that we can deal with others before facing it!"
He pondered this for a bit before deciding to set it aside for the time being. The most crucial thing right now is for him to study magic on his own.
Jerry started to pulled the magic books one at a time and set them on the bed after opening the large suitcase and taking out the bag containing the textbooks.
Standard Spells, Beginners, A History of Magic, The Theory of Magic, A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, Magic Potions and Potions, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Defense consists of eight volumes.
Since he won't be back for another month, some textbooks that are useless for the fight can be thrown out first.
After some thought, Jerry put the four books "A History of Magic", "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", "Magic Potions and Potions", and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" back into the book bag.
The history of the magic realm is discussed in "History of Magic," which should only be read for educational purposes. An introduction to numerous herbs can be found in "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms."
It's a good idea to read "Magic Potions Potions." Powerful potions can be used as a support weapon in combat, but he can't learn how to brew them in a month and doesn't have the ingredients to do so.
If he goes on adventures in the future, he might utilize the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," which describes various magical creatures, but forget it right now.
Jerry didn't combine "Magic Theory" with the other three books, "Standard Spells, Beginners," "Magic Theory", "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" and "The Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Defense." on the desk.
Jerry believes that as a novice wizard, he should first understand what magic is and how it functions. Jerry currently has to focus on studying the book "Magic Theory," which outlines fundamental notions.
He sat down on the chair and pulled up "Magic Theory." Jerry inhaled deeply before carefully turning to the first page.
The first fundamental principle of magic theory states, "To tamper with the deepest secrets at will – the source of life, the essence of self – must be prepared to bear the most extreme and deadly repercussions."
Jerry finished "Magic Theory" four hours later, rubbed his temples, and sighed, "Hermione Granger is deserving of becoming a top student of the generation. She is just great!"
Jerry initially believed that his life experience was not insignificant because he had lived for more than 40 years, had passed the college admission exam, and had generally good learning abilities. The most fundamental magic theory ought to be manageable for him.
But it was different than he expected to be.
Jerry spent four hours teaching himself without the assistance of a teacher, feeling as though he were studying the bible because he had no prior knowledge of it.
It's similar to someone who just discovered a secret book with the ability to transform into a fairy. It is equally challenging to understand it word for word without the master's instruction.
He sighed as he realized Hermione, a young girl of eleven, had mastered the majority of first-year wizardry on her own before the start of class. Perhaps Hermione is a prodigy and genius in the magic world, while he is just a regular human.
"I only hope the red star can be more helpful because if not, it will be problematic!"
Report chapter Comments
According to the panel's introduction, Red Star can help him not only live in the fictional world of "Harry Potter," but also enable the "Refreshing" ability, which improves his brain's capacity for learning, comprehension, and memory.
Of course, the panel doesn't go into detail on the precise degree to which it can be strengthened. For him to be certain, he must personally experience it.
At this point, he believes that learning the most basic magic could take him a month if he depends solely on his own capacity for learning.
Therefore, it is crucial to use the "Refreshing" ability activated by Red Star if you wish to have a strong ability before returning.
Growl*
Jerry rubbed his grumbling tummy and then turned to face the already gloomy sky. He reasoned that he could use Red Star's "Refreshing" feature after finishing his dinner.
"Let's go to dinner, Crookshanks!"
When Jerry got up from the chair to welcome his pet Crookshanks to dinner, he discovered that Crookshanks—who had been soundly dozing on the bed—had long gone vanished.
"Uh, don't tell me he's running away?"
He looked everywhere in the home, including under the bed, in boxes, and cabinets, but he couldn't find Crookshanks. Jerry could not help but pathetically scratch his head. In relation to that, he read the book too serious. He wasn't really aware of what was going on around him.
"Huh."
Jerry started to shiver uncontrollably when a rush of frigid wind suddenly blew into his neck from behind.
Crookshanks, who was standing outside the window at some time, very deftly used his claws to pull the window out of a gap, entered through the gap, and even snugly closed the window sill with his claws. He noticed this as he slowly turned around.
Crookshanks opened the window just now, allowing the cool breeze to enter.
"Meow!" Crookshanks eagerly approached Jerry, placed the object in his jaws on the ground, and used his paws to push it in front of Jerry.
"Crookshanks, I… thank you!" Jerry looked at the dead mouse pushed to his feet, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
No wonder the previous owner said that Crookshanks was so easy to feed that she didn't even spend much time preparing food for it.
—-
Jerry returned to his desk after dinner and opened "Magic Theory" once more.
"Red Star, use!"
Jerry gasped immediately after selecting the "Refreshing" option on the panel. Only a brief burst of cool air, which suddenly flooded into his brain, was sensed by him.
After being infused with this chilly air, the brain, which had been progressively slower owing to a busy day, suddenly resumed functioning at its peak. He experiences the same sensations as when he falls asleep for eight to nine hours at night and wakes up the next morning to have a cool beverage.
The mind is very clear, and the brain is abnormally active.
Jerry lowered his head and resumed studying "Magic Theory," Jerry only felt that the obscure knowledge of magic theory in the afternoon suddenly became easier.
Red Star's "Refreshing" feature appears to transform the original high-number calculus into a one-dimensional equation, rapidly lowering the level of difficulty by many notches.
Or, to be more accurate, his brain's capacity for comprehension, learning, and memory has increased significantly, making the challenging subject of calculus appear to him as straightforward as a one-dimensional equation.
Jerry read "Magic Theory" much more quickly since "Refreshing" was activated.
He initially struggled to read more than four hours in the afternoon and could only comprehend about four or five pages. But today, with the help of "Refreshing" he has read and understood nearly all of the "Magic Theory" book in just one hour.
"Stop!"
Jerry temporarily disabled the "Refreshing" feature on the panel four hours later after finishing the full "Magic Theory" and remembering what he had learned.
His brain returned to normal without the benefit of "Refreshing" and at the same time, a great sense of exhaustion also overcame him.
"It appears that using the refreshing feature exhausts the brain in addition to using up the red star. It appears that in the future I'll purchase a few boxes of six walnuts!"
Jerry didn't know how taxing the "Refreshing" ability was on his body until this point, despite how effective it was.
He hastily put the book away before getting up and lying down on the bed. He slipped into the deepest sleep in less than two seconds.
—-
The next morning.
Jerry slowly opened his eyes as the first ray of sunlight entered his face via the window. A deep night's sleep restored the brain to its pre-sleep condition.
"Next time, I shouldn't be using it all at once."
It was used for the first time yesterday, and he couldn't resist leaving it on for four hours because the "Refreshing" ability was so amazing.
He read and understood the entire "Magic Theory" in one sitting, but it was too much for his brain to process, and after struggling for a while, he eventually dozed off. Therefore, it is unwise to leave the "Refreshing" ability on for an extended period of time.
His body will naturally go into a deep sleep as a result of the usage of his brain because deep sleep is healthier for brain restoration. However, if there is thunder outside, he won't respond because he will be in a deep sleep, which also indicates that he won't be paying any attention to the situation at all.
He was essentially a lamb waiting to be killed in the event of danger.
Jerry opened the panel and counted the Red Stars he had eaten since "Refreshing" had started.
"240? Or, to put it another way, it eats a Red Star per minute."
Last night, the "Refreshing" ability was activated for four hours, consuming 240 red stars—or one red star every minute—in the process. Overall, it was satisfactory but fell short of his expectations.
There were formerly 1,005 Red Stars on his panel, but 240 of them were used up yesterday, leaving 765. The "Refreshing" ability can be activated in conversion for around 13 hours.
The final three volumes are "Standard Spells, Beginner," "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration," and "The Dark Arts: Self-Defense Guide," which, based on experience, should take roughly four hours to master each.
It will take him almost twelve hours to read it all. That is to say, with the indirect acceleration provided by "Refreshing" over the next two or three days, he should barely be able to complete his original one-month study plan ahead of time with the number of Red Stars he currently has.

Five days later, holding a wand in his hand, Jerry cautiously gestured at the room's wooden door and said, "Alohomora!"
Along with Jerry's spell, a weak magical energy slowly drained from his body and into the wand along his arm. It became a blue magic light after being intensified by the wand and shooting out, hitting the wooden door precisely at the lock.
Under the influence of Jerry's Unlocking Charm, the initially locked wooden door spontaneously opened following a mechanical sound.
"Phew, it's finally a success!"
Jerry breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that the unlocking spell had been completed successfully.
In fact, he indirectly used the "Refreshing" ability two days earlier when he methodically read through all the magic knowledge and spells in the four magic books and mentally memorized them.
However, being able to properly cast the related magic is not guaranteed by simply reading and comprehending the theoretical information in the magic book. Despite the fact that the spells in these volumes are the most fundamental and straightforward spells,
Jerry believes that, based on the information in the four books, wizards are able to cast magic because their bodies contain special wizard blood and they are born with a magical ability known as magic power.
This power serves as the foundation for magic, which transforms it through incantations and spiritual force to produce a variety of astonishing occurrences. You need to have magic power in your body before you can properly unleash a certain type of magic. Because of this, Muggles and Squibs are unable to cast spells, even when they are spell-savvy.
You need a magic wand in addition to magic power. The magic wand functions as a stabilizer and amplifier. It can boost and stabilize the magic power you produce, enabling you to perform more effective spell casting.
It's not that you can't cast magic if you don't have a magic wand, you only need a powerful enough magic power and the skill to control it, and different wands have varied magnifying and stabilizing effects.
The easier it is to lessen the challenge and boost the power when casting magic, the better the magic wand must be. It will become more difficult to cast spells with an inappropriate wand, and it might even be impossible.
You need a certain theoretical understanding of magic in addition to the wand in order to effectively cast a spell. You also need to be aware of the magic you intend to cast. The rhythm of reciting the mantra must adhere to all specifications and every syllable must be uttered clearly and properly.
In "Standard Spells, Beginners," it was claimed that a wizard met a tragic end when he mispronounced a spell, saying "f" instead of "s," and he ended himself on the ground.
Therefore, you must train nonstop if you wish to perform spells successfully. The more you practice, the more naturally you will be able to cast the related spells with accuracy.
Of course, certain spells are more challenging than others. You'll find some more difficult spells if you wish to cast them successfully. The book might not list these abilities. You require a qualified instructor to lead you as you gradually learn them.
Jerry finally discovered some spells today after these two days of practice, and he performed the first spell—the Unlocking Charm—successfully.
His following practice would get easier and easier after the initial achievement. He'll soon be able to perform every spell listed in the first-grade textbooks.

Jerry rehearsed several spells in the room ten days later while holding a wand in his hand.
In general, the spells that are taught in the first grade are rather easy spells that don't use up a lot of mana. Jerry's body contains magic power, but it can still be cast with ease.
A total of fourteen spells are listed in the "Magic Theory" book, which is one of the four magic books—or perhaps it should be three—and only explains theoretical knowledge. These spells include Soften, Cut, Unlock, Levitate, Lock, Repair, Transfigure, Restore, Snot, Fire, Repel, Smoke, Wand Illumination, and Wand Extinguishing.
Jerry has essentially mastered all of them, save for the Transfiguration Spell, which he is currently not particularly adept at using it.
However, none of the other fourteen spells have a particularly offensive impact, with the exception of the Cutting Spell and the Fire Spell, which are both slightly offensive.
The fact that the Cutting Spell can't even entirely cut through the clothing and the Fire Spell can only produce a little flame that resembles a lighter is more significant than anything else.
Jerry initially believed that those few magic books would contain the type of body-binding spell that Hermione used to restrain Neville in the film. Because that spell actually seems to be the most helpful in terms of combat utility.
If he is able to bind the entire body, he will be able to petrify each of the robbers with ease when he returns.
It turned out that the first-grade textbook did not provide a description of this spell. The body-binding spell might have been covered in a senior textbook, or been known to Hermione from a magic book at the library.
It's understandable why Ron and Harry appeared confused after seeing Hermione use the spell.
The first-grade texts taught more than a dozen spells. It is already the end of the semester, thus it is unthinkable that they are unaware of it. The two of them were clueless after witnessing Hermione do the spell, unless there wasn't a mention of it in the textbook at all.
The offensive potential of even these first-year spells is minimal, yet they are still magic. Jerry thinks they might not be able to have unanticipated effects if they are used properly.
Before going back, he decided that it would be best to test out the potency of these spell combinations, just to be safe. Because his Red Star have been depleted, he can also pick up some along the road.
He recalled that young wizards weren't allowed to use magic outside of the classroom for fear of being observed by the Ministry of Magic.
However, it appears that this law does not apply to wizards before classes. Hermione appears to have claimed in the film that she attempted to release magic multiple times at home before the start of school, and each attempt was successful when she was on the train.
Therefore, he may use magic without getting caught by the Ministry of Magic before entering Hogwarts. Thinking about it, that likelihood ought to be extremely remote.
Since he lives in an orphanage outside of London's urban center in a little town in Surrey County, where there aren't many wizards to begin with.

Ten o'clock in the evening in the Edward's Orphanage.
"Crookshanks, don't run around at home. I'm going out for a while."
Jerry took up his wand, put on some black clothing, spoke to a ginger cat with long hair which was amusing itself on the floor with a big fluffy tail, opened the window, and left.
The orphanage's second story was where Jerry's room was located, but thanks to his expertise, the second floor presented no challenges at all. He just leaped down from the first story utilizing the window ledge.
In many cases, kids are stronger climbers than adults. Jerry in particular has a healthy body and strength comparable to that of typical seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youths.
At ten o'clock, the orphanage was already completely dark. Jerry swiftly climbed over the large iron gate and exited the orphanage after traversing the front yard in the dark.
Given that it is difficult to be caught when acting at night and that many crimes typically take place at night, he decided to experiment with magic to gain Red Stars throughout the night.
"Lumos!"
Jerry pulled the wand from his pocket and recited a spell in a low voice. Suddenly, the wand's top began to emanate a bright light that was comparable to a flashlight. Jerry has mastered fourteen spells, and the Wand-Lighting Charm is one of the easiest.
He discovered that there is an advanced version of this spell as he was studying it. When activated, the brightness is comparable to that of a miniature sun, and it is frequently used to replace the sun in small worlds.
This reminded him of Newt's suitcase from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his previous life, and he wondered whether the sun within the suitcase had been created using the advanced spell from this spell.
Jerry believes that he should not undervalue the fundamental spells he is currently studying for this reason. These simple spells can serve as the foundation for many following powerful spells.
The Edward Orphanage is situated in a relatively secluded area to the south of the town. Jerry walked for almost 20 minutes while using a wand to illuminate before reaching the town's hub.
At ten o'clock, there are still a lot of small stores open in the town, especially close to the bar, and there are plenty of well-dressed men and women coming in and out, unlike the orphanage where everyone has passed out.
Jerry has been using his wand to patrol the area around the bars, turning around the isolated, dark lanes where he believes crimes are more likely to happen at midnight.
Unfortunately, after patrolling till one in the morning, he has yet to come across a single instance of criminal activity. It's only that when he first arrived in the area, he came upon an elderly couple who had slipped and fallen while out walking at night.
It is now 2:00. He could only return to the orphanage and rest up for his planned attack the following day.
The world of "Harry Potter" is still distinct from the Marvel universe, according to facts, particularly in tiny towns where there isn't much of a sense of urgency to do crimes. Every night, leave at 10 o'clock and get back at one o'clock.
Jerry didn't come across a minor robbery until the evening before his return. In a little town's alleyway, it was half past eleven.
A white man with a knife blocked a white-collar young woman who arrived home late owing to overtime, and Jerry, who was patroling the area, just so happened to witness this.
He did not instantly show up to save the white-collar worker. Instead, he hid at the alley's entrance and silently observed the man. He quickly sprinted towards the alley while holding the stolen cash and jewelry in one hand and the knife in the other.
Jerry pulled out his wand and cast a transfiguration spell upon the water pool at the alley's entrance. Rain and fog are the predominant weather conditions in London, and water puddles are frequently seen on the ground.
The man who escaped quickly stepped over the puddle of lubricating oil as soon as he exited the alley after being struck by the magic light of the Transfiguration Spell, which transformed the enormous puddle of water into a super lubricating oil.
"Argh!" Because of his rapid pace, the man launched out as soon as his foot slipped and crashed to the ground.
Of the 14 spells Jerry has learned, the transfiguration spell is the most challenging. While other spells typically give a substance more abilities, the transfiguration spell totally transforms one substance into another.
Not all transformations are as challenging with the beginner's transformation spell. The book states that you need pay attention to a few points during the transition if you want to boost the success rate of the transformation spell.
First of all, it is simpler to change the same substance, such as converting water into wine or oil, which young wizards who have just started first grade may readily master. Conversely, if water is turned into stone and steel, it will be extremely difficult.
Although understanding about conversion spells is necessary, converting non-living objects into alive ones and living objects into non-living ones is not a very challenging subject.
Second, the easier it is to properly alter something, such as turning matches into needles or hair into threads, the smaller the object. On the other hand, it will be quite challenging if you transform a match into a spear or telegraph pole.
In the end, successful transformation is made easier the simpler the framework. A first- and second-year wizard, for instance, is capable of transforming a mouse into a box and a rabbit into shoes.
In contrast, it's extremely challenging to create airplanes, cannons, and guns. Even Dumbledore might not be able to achieve it. For instance, many fifth-year wizards are unable to transform an owl into a telescope.
These remain fundamental. He needs to attend school to gradually master more complex transfiguration techniques like Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, transspecies transfiguration, and human transfiguration.
Jerry cast a smoke screen spell over the man right away, seizing the opportunity when he stood up just before he fell. The man's immediate surroundings were quickly wrapped in a swirl of smoke, and Jerry dashed into it like a small cheetah.
After being flung to the ground, the man was still confused, but he appeared to sense the presence of a figure in front of him and immediately seized the fruit knife that had fallen to the ground.
"Immediately soften!" Jerry reacted more quickly. The knife was cast a softening magic, and it instantly softened like noodles.
After eliminating the biggest threat to him, Jerry ruthlessly used all his might to whip kick the man who was ready to stand up in the head.
Jerry's strength was comparable to that of a typical 16 or 17-year-old male. He gave the man a powerful kick to the temple, instantly rendering him unconscious.

Even if Jerry is skilled in Jeet Kune Do, he would not typically be able to subdue the man in front of him, especially if the man was brandishing a knife.
Jerry had once read a news story about a particular boxer meeting a certain mobster with a knife. After a fight, the knife-wielding mobster unharmed while the fighting champion was stabbed and taken to the hospital.
When the physical conditions of the two parties are identical, fighting skills may usually fully at their advantages. It will be challenging to win if the circumstances are too dissimilar, unless one has the mindset of murdering the opponent and hits them in the vitals with every move.
No matter how skilled the fighters are, it is safer to flee if one person is knifeless and the other is holding a weapon. Although winning against the knife with no hands is conceivable, it is more likely to result in a stabbing.
Jerry was able to capture the man brandishing a knife at this point with the help of a few low-level spells that dealt no direct damage. It is clear that using magic as an unorthodox power still has a huge impact.
He kicked the robber until he passed out, but he did not run away. Instead, he quietly left the area after taking two notes from the dispersed stack and placing them in his pocket. Without expecting anything in return is not in his character.
He has always reminded himself that it is okay to perform good actions, but there must be rewards, even though two banknotes may not seem like much to him.
He had to take out two banknotes as a reward because he assisted the lady in getting rid of the robber and stole back the wallet. He has lived for more than forty years and is aware of how to improve his life.
He doesn't desire big fortune and power after starting a new life, but he also doesn't want to go on to become a bad person who just looks out for others.
Additionally, as long as he uses his weird panel to perform good deeds, there will be red stars, and even if he regrets his actions right away, there won't be any issues.
In other words, if he attempts to save the life of another person, a red star will show in his account. Even if he ends up killing the person after rescuing them, the red star will not go.
The young white-collar lady in the alley timidly stuck her head out after Jerry left. She just heard screaming outside, but she delayed leaving out of prudence.
She was initially astonished and then overwhelmed with excitement when she noticed the man who had passed out nearby the alley's entrance.
She approached cautiously and saw that the robber appeared to be unconscious. She snatched back her cash and necklace jewels, kicked the man twice, and then walked away in high heels.
She decided against dialing the police. Even if two notes of her money were missing, it didn't matter because both the money and the jewels had been returned.

September 1, 1991.
Jerry prepared everything he needed to bring to Hogwarts before getting out of bed. He began studying magic at Hogwarts on this day, which also marks the conclusion of his one-month experience period.
[The countdown to return starts in 10, 9, 8, 7,…]
Jerry took a deep breath and then gripped the wand tightly as he stared at the panel's countdown to his return.
[Three, two, one, begin the return.]
He experienced the sensation of the world becoming completely frozen at the conclusion of the countdown, and then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Amazing, I have my wand here."
Instead of focusing on the two criminals standing next to him, Jerry dipped his head to inspect the magic wand in his right hand.
Before, his biggest concern was that the magic wand couldn't be brought back after returning. It would be practically difficult for him to cast magic without the aid of a magic wand. The failure rate could reach 99%.
"Let's see how to securely deal with these bandits now," he said.
Jerry tightened the grip on his wand and peered around the entire school bus' interior. In reality, he had already begun planning how to neutralize these armed robbers before leaving.
It is not too tough to deal with these robbers if magic is used as support. He had experimented the previous evening. The most challenging part is preventing the robbers from unintentionally hurting other kids on the school bus.
He intends to wait and observe if a tipping moment occurs. In the absence of a turning point, he will take drastic action. He and his sister's safety must come first, even though it is possible to unintentionally hurt certain others. All he can do for the rest is apologize.
The police car should have been abandoned, and the money should have been left on the school bus, so he wouldn't have to take any more chances. He can get the red stars if he performs nice things, though. When he masters magic, he will have more opportunities in the future. There's no reason to take chances.
"Smith, the police have already been left behind."
The two robbers standing next to Jerry noticed that their furious gunfire caused the final police car to likewise come to a stop. They chuckled and alerted the robber who was holding Mrs. Belle at gunpoint in the middle of the school bus.
The leader of the four robbers should have been the one who pointed the gun at Mrs. Belle. He turned around and asked the robber who was in charge of the driver Paul after hearing the reports from the two robbers behind him.
"Have you reached the place yet?"
"We'll be there soon!"
The school bus was parked on the side of a remote road about 20 minutes later, at the order of the criminals in front.
"What should we do next—should we kill them all, or what?"
The two robbers who were in the back of the school bus approached Smith, the leader. When Jerry heard the words, he instantly raised the wand he was holding. The only option left to the thief is to take a chance if he wants to kill everyone in the car.
"Why murder them all, you idiot? Do you feel we didn't pass away quickly enough?" Smith, the robbers' leader, kicked him in the ass.
He was fully aware that robbing a tiny bank would be sensational but not really serious. After all, only the bank suffered a loss, and the amount they stole from the bank was but a drop in the ocean.
However, there would be uproar in the society if elementary school students were killed on a school bus. Everyone will start shouting at them and hitting them, and it's even feasible that the government would send in the military to deal with them. He called his subordinate a "brainless moron" for this reason.

"Smith, I believe it's okay to hold one hostage just in case. Let the rest go, there won't be any issues!" The robber in front of him gave a more useful suggestion, demonstrating that he knew what the boss was considering.
Smith took a time to consider his options before nodding and beginning to select one off the school bus.
Mrs. Bailey, who Smith was pointing at, trembled and lifted her hand, "I'm yours to hold hostage. They're still young. It's challenging to get them to stop crying once they've with you."
The driver over there, Paul, sat on the seat and bent his head a little bit while Mrs. Belle stammered, clearly terrified as well. He still needs to provide for his wife, parents, and children. He felt guilty, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Fair enough." Smith undoubtedly accepted Mrs. Bailey's arguments.
You won't have to worry about the other person being resistant if you bring a child, but it will be incredibly upsetting if they start crying. After all, they are held captive to keep the police from targeting them. It is not advisable to kill them directly.
"Smith, I believe this to be a wise move." The two criminals in the back observed Mrs. Belle's unflattering appearance and pretty regular facial features before abruptly flashing a malicious smile.
When Mrs. Belle saw this, her body shook, but she ultimately kept quiet, got up, and stood next to Smith without making any excuses.
"Hey!" Jerry, who was watching the scenario from his place in the rear, sighed and then slowly got up from his seat.
"I believe it would be best if you held me hostage. The Sheriff of Queens is my father. He might have led the subsequent search. In addition, I am a child and have no power of resistance. I am also quite docile."
Mrs. Belle is a kind and responsible teacher. Jerry doesn't want her to end up in possession of some robbers.
"What are you talking about, Jerry? Quickly sit down, and Mr. Paul may take you home later." When Belle saw Jerry stand up, her expression shifted.
Jerry is a well-known model student at the school. He not only achieves among the highest grades, but also excels in the classroom. Additionally, she really likes him as a student. He was both moved and concerned when he saw that Jerry stood up and intended to hold himself hostage at this moment.
On the other hand, Smith immediately turned his head and glanced over when he learned that Jerry was in fact the sheriff's son.
A youngster is certainly safer than an adult woman with the power to resist, and it must have made the police more nervous to have a sheriff's son as a hostage in his hands than an ordinary elementary school teacher.
"Bring him here!" Smith gave instructions to the robbers on the side.
"Smith, I think this woman is more suitable!" The robber said out loud, obviously he had other ideas.
Smith merely riled them up even though he was quite familiar with them, "I can get you a woman later because we have the money. Let's get out of here as soon as possible, and quickly take the sheriff's kid with me!"
"Brother!" Aisha sensed something was off as she watched the burglar approach her older brother Jerry and she frightenedly grasped his hand.
She is not a fool, despite the fact that she is in second grade and has a lot of worries. She has just understood that if her brother is taken away, awful things could happen.
"Brother will send these tiny demons back to hell, Aisha, and I will return shortly after that. You must pay attention to Mrs. Belle. Brother is a demon lord, so don't worry!" Jerry let go of Aisha's hand, glanced at her, and moved in the direction of the robbers.
——
"Little bastard, don't blame me when I blow your head off later!"
The robber simply kicked Jerry's butt fiercely as he exited the school bus, but Jerry leapt forward and deftly sidestepped it. Smith reprimanded the robber for trying to make another kick.
The four robbers exited the school bus after removing Jerry, shot all four tires with firearms, and then made their way into the nearby woods. Shortly after starting their stroll, they came across a black off-road vehicle that had been prepared beforehand.
"They've planned it really well, huh."
Jerry was seated between two men and robbers in the back row of the off-road vehicle. He sighed quietly inside.
The off-road vehicle started, and after making a few bends in the little woods, it emerged on a relatively isolated trail. After continuing on its journey for some time, it entered the main road and vanished into the flow of traffic.
A black off-road vehicle came to a leisurely stop in front of a run-down warehouse in the outskirts an hour later. The four robbers led Jerry into the warehouse while carrying a sizable bag of money they had stolen from the bank.
"It appears that I was to be kept alive as a hostage." Jerry whispered to himself in a low voice as he regarded the wooden door that the robbers had locked.
He noticed the four robbers simultaneously removing their masks shortly after entering the warehouse. He was aware that the four robbers might have predetermined his death in their hearts at the moment.
Simply put, the four robbers' emotions are still brimming with joy from escaping capture and making off with a sizable quantity of money.
Jerry heard the sound of the four robbers laughing outside owing to a large bag of cash and recognized that now was the time when they were least careful and that it was also the perfect opportunity for him to take action.
Jerry first used a Transfiguration Spell to transform a broken chair leg he discovered inside the house into a razor-sharp knife before pulling the wand out of his pants. This dagger should only be able to last for around 10 minutes with his current level of Transfiguration Spell, which is hardly long enough.
"Alohomora!"
The locked wooden door was unlocked when the wand was directed at it. Jerry cautiously pushed open the wooden door, holding the wand in his left hand and the blade in his right. He then crouched outside. Jerry had plenty of places to hide in the abandoned warehouse's accumulation of useless trash.
The four robbers were merrily drinking beer in the middle of the warehouse and counting the money in the bag. They were obviously on the cheerful stage.
"Red Star, use!" Jerry used the panel's "Refreshing" feature before casting any spells on the four robbers.
His red stars have successfully gathered to more than fifty after he went to the town every night to perform good actions and prevented a robbery the most recent night. The "Refreshing" ability can be used for at least 50 minutes, as currently, he has about 50 red stars.
Report chapter Comments
Why do you need to turn on the "Refreshing" ability before the fight?
This is due to Jerry's discovery, after numerous tests, that his "Refreshing" power actually serves to quickly boost his brain's potential and maintain a high level of mental activity.
It is obvious that it can be employed in combat in this state because it can be used to accelerate the acquisition of magic knowledge.
When used for academic purposes, one can significantly enhance their capacity for comprehension, memory, and analysis. The highly enhanced brain can also be employed in battle to break the bonds that bind the body and set it free.
Jerry called this condition of using the brain to "Super Form." He had previously watched a movie where the heroine's body and mind had been drugged to the point of overdevelopment.
In the end, it developed into a god-like being that had omniscience and omnipotence.
Although Jerry's superhuman state is obviously not that extreme, it does allow him practically complete control of his body from his mind. Everyone is aware of how challenging it is for regular individuals without special training to coordinate their muscles and use their bodily strength to the fullest.
However, via the careful manipulation of their muscles, martial artists who have had extensive training can employ the same body to unleash even greater strength.
To compare Jerry's current superhuman state to becoming a master-level martial artist in a split second would be impossible. His strength and speed are now far stronger than they normally are, but his body is still this body.
His five senses have also been enhanced in conjunction with a high-end brain. With the help, his ability to fight effectively could even increase by several notches. The longer this state is activated, though, the more negative side effects there are.
It is the brain first and foremost. His brain will become extremely sluggish after discontinuing the ability of "Refreshing" due to the overdrawn potential, and he will particularly wish to sleep.
Like the last time he read for four hours nonstop, if it is used for too long and the overdraft is severe, it may even instantly enter a deep sleep state.
The muscles of the body will get abnormally sore after doing body motions outside of the routine and will require some time to recover if the body uses the improved brain to release the superhuman condition after using the "Refreshing" ability.
This superhuman state is either to act as quickly as possible, or to ensure that you are in an entirely safe location when it is through. In any other case, it would be risky.
"Fumos!"
The entire center of the warehouse was immediately engulfed in a burst of smoke as he directed the wand in his hand at the four robbers who were counting the money.
"Smoke grenades? Not good—those police officers are onto us!"
The robber leader Smith's first thought when he suddenly noticed smoke rising around him was for the cops to find him. So, in a rush, he ordered his colleague to grab the guns from beside him and began firing at the windows and door of the warehouse as he fled inside.
At this point, Jerry kicked his legs as well and ran like a cheetah toward the four robbers who were engulfed in smoke.
Jerry's speed in this condition is really quick, on par with those elite sprinters. He traveled over 20 meters in less than three seconds before reaching the first robber in the smoke screen.
The tough guy who came off the school bus and attempted to kick him in the ass is the actual robber.
"A gentleman can exact retribution after ten years, but a villain can never be too late to exact revenge!" Jerry is obviously not a gentleman.
He jumped up and cut the man's neck with the knife in his hand.
The powerful guy reflexively covered his neck as blood spurted out, seeking to breathe out, but he soon realized that blood loss had caused his body, which had been strong to begin with, to become weaker and weaker.
The other three robbers simultaneously clutched their firearms while turning around, possibly alert to the scenario behind them.
"Spongify!" Jerry raised his left hand and put a softening spell on the robber's gun that was the farthest away from him.
Actually, now would be a better moment to cast a Transfiguration spell, but with his present magic level, there is a good chance that he won't be able to turn the complete rifle. It would be okay to transform a little dagger, though.
As long as the rifle's barrel is softened, the softening spell may prevent the firearm from firing regularly.
"Take this!"
His right hand was not idle while he cast the softening magic, he even tossed the dagger he held in that hand toward the closest robber.
Because he is in a super state, thus it may be argued that the dagger he throws is quick and precise, similar to those masters of hidden weapons in movies.
"What?!" The robber's right eye was exactly pierced by the dagger, which then entered his brain with a scream.
Jerry's intuition began to urgently warn him at this point as well. Because the nearby robber leader had already raised his firearm and was aiming it at his head.
His legs quickly exerted strength and moved backward with a slipping step. Taking advantage of his tiny size, he narrowly escaped to the spot where he was murdered after hitting the thief with the first gun. The second man, who hasn't yet hit the ground, is behind the first.
Jerry pointed the magic wand he was holding in his left hand at the first strong man's back. He unleashed all of his magic might and cast a repelling spell thanks to years of practice in his former incarnation and the calibration of his super brain at the moment.
The first strong man instantly turned into a moving object and struck the body of the robber leader with great force after the magic light was shot down on the back of the first robber and a stream of blood gushed from his neck.
Smith had never before felt what it was like to take a volley from a powerful man who weighed about two hundred pounds. He consequently received a direct blow to the skull, hit the ground, and fell to the ground unconscious from severe injuries.
Jerry put his wand away and ran at full speed towards the robber who was the furthest away from him.
His limited magic power had just about run out from the repelling spell, so the final robber was forced to approach. The last robber was still dazed and confused at this point.
"What's going on!?"
Smoke bombs were first thrown. The police were not found after a shooting spree, but the colleague behind him was given a neck wipe by a small man beforehand. Just as he was going to fire at the blurry figure in the smoke, his gun actually melted like noodles.
The leader was thrown to the ground, another colleague was stabbed in the eye with a dagger, and the little man in the smoke was coming straight for him as the leader regained consciousness.
When he got closer and took a closer look, it turned out to be the little brown-haired boy who was taken off the school bus by them.

Jerry wasn't in a daze, but the robber was. He rapidly ran to the final robber, who also reacted at this point. He might be on the verge of sharing the other three's destiny if he didn't fight back.
The robber promptly tossed the worthless rifle out of his grasp and reached for the pistol at his belt with his outstretched hand. Jerry leapt to his feet and drove a powerful knee between the last robber's knees because he couldn't let him pull another weapon.
The robber instantly turned to face him after noticing this. He quickly blocked the kid with both hands as he dared not draw his revolver. But he slightly underestimated Jerry's power.
Jerry is currently less physically strong than the robber despite being in a super state. Additionally, he used all of his strength to strike the knee. The robber was hit on the balls by the enormous force even though he was able to block it by returning his hands in time.
When he got hit, he took a deep breath and bowed down like a shrimp to show that he wasn't feeling good.
Jerry did succeed, but he didn't stop there. His entire body leapt into the air, appearing above the robber's head, at the command of the super-powerful brain. His arms literally held the robber's shoulders.
All of the robber's muscles worked in unison, like twisting a bottle cap so forcefully, as both legs curled around his neck like a python.
Crack*
The final robber's head abruptly twisted 180 degrees, rendering him helpless.
Jerry released the Refreshing ability right away after turning over and jumping down to make sure there was no danger.
"This is too much, ugh."
The fight only took two or three minutes to complete, so it wasn't too taxing on his brain. Instead, he merely felt lightheaded briefly before returning to normal.
However, it's possible that the amount of effort he did in those two or three minutes was too intense, leading his muscles to temporarily relax as if he hadn't run in a long time and then suddenly sprinted five kilometers. Still had the sensation of waking up after a night of running.
However, being in the super state is a really enjoyable feeling. It is true that his combat abilities were probably at an amateur level prior to opening it, then they immediately reached their peak level once he did.
Jerry approached the robber who had been fatally stabbed with a dagger, drew out his converted dagger, and then moved in front of Smith, the knocked-down leader of the robbers.
He grabbed up the blade and savagely stabbed it into the robbers' leader's chest without the least hesitation.
The roots are left behind even when the weeds are cut. When confronted by these criminals, who undoubtedly have control over multiple lives, he is not as sentimental as he once was. Furthermore, he was presumably just seen by him when he appeared in the smoke screen, therefore he cannot be left alive.
Even though it was his first time killing someone, Jerry didn't feel particularly uneasy other than a slight sense of distaste. Perhaps it was because he had previously passed away after being run over by a big truck. He therefore did not fear death as much as he had thought.
"Indeed, it isn't on the same level. This is worthwhile!"
Jerry looked surprised when he opened the panel and saw that his Red Star count had climbed to 2,000 right away.
The reward of doing good deeds for two or three years continuously are two thousand red stars. But this time, he completed it all at once.
It would appear that murdering four robbers who looted a bank and commandeered a school bus is not in the least bit different from doing good deeds like assisting with rubbish pickup and guiding an elderly woman across the street.
Although Jerry received 2,000 Red Stars, he did not immediately enter the "Harry Potter" universe.
Since there is a cooldown period after each time he leaves that universe, even if there are enough red stars throughout the cooling period, they are unable to enter once more.
He would need to eat 100 little red stars every day after the initial experience period if he wished to enter the world. Although it looked like a long time—2,000 small red stars—was only for 20 days.
Additionally, he spent a significant amount of his red stars on the Refreshing ability throughout his time studying magic. Later, he was considering how to acquire more red stars so that he might use them in the future.
Jerry shut the panel and walked slowly into the middle of the warehouse. In addition to beer bottles, there was currently a large bag of cash notes on the table in the center of the warehouse that was thought to be worth a million dollars.
Numerous banknotes in the bag were spilled around the ground as a result of the recent conflicts. Jerry took seven or eight of them, put them in his pocket, and picked them up.
"It only a million dollars. To take seven or eight hundred is not excessive. The ideal sum to purchase Aisha's preferred Ice Princess doll!"
In this reality, Jerry is just eleven years old, and his father doesn't give him a lot of pocket money. He typically receives a meager amount from a few classmates who prefer to get things done.
He is excellent at using violence to control other people, but he is just in primary school and doesn't have much at his disposal. It's not much—only seven or eight hundred dollars—and the bank isn't going to go to war for them.
"All right, we're waiting for the police to come and save me now."
He returned to the chamber where he had been imprisoned previously, sealed the wooden door with a locking spell once more, and started to lie down on the bed in the room. He then closed his eyes and waited after sensing that the magic force had somewhat recovered.
"Those police officers be able to find this location, right? After all, the recent round of gunshots was fairly loud, so they'll probably find it."
In fact, a man in a red and gold mechanical armor suddenly arrived above the warehouse not long after Jerry slept on the bed.
—-
The time was turned back more than an hour. Inside the enormous mansion owned by Tony Stark.
"In Queens, there was a bank robbery, sir. The robbers eluded capture when he stole a school bus carrying elementary school students."
When Tony received Jarvis' report while examining the Mark 5 armor in the form of a suitcase, he set down the blueprint he was holding and strode up to the armor platform.
"It's just the perfect time to head outside to help and motivate a few others."
Since he decided to reveal his identity a few days ago, he is attempting to build a more portable armor to deal with problems, but it is difficult to shrink such a massive armor to the size of a suitcase.
The Mark 4 armor immediately encased Tony's body as he stood on the armor platform, under Jarvis' artificial intelligence supervision. Tony made the Mark 4 to replace the Mark 3, which was severely damaged during a previous fight and rendered temporarily useless.
Mark 4 and Mark 3 do nearly identical tasks, although Mark 4's look has been somewhat changed. After turning on the armor's propellers, Tony maneuvered the Mark 4 armor at a speed comparable to a fighter jet and pursued the robbers in the direction they were running.

"Jarvis, activate all the security cameras and investigate the robbers' potential escape routes!" Tony gives Jarvis instructions while wearing the Mark 4 armor.
"Understood, sir!"
Jarvis is a fairly effective artificial intelligence. After the school bus escaped from the police car, he swiftly examined and locked its approximate itinerary using various monitoring data.
Tony quickly located the school bus with the blown tire and the instructors and pupils inside after some frantic high-speed flight, guided by Jarvis.
He used tire marks in the grove and other roadside surveillance to confirm the robbers' car and path again after discovering that the four of them had taken a young child captive. He then successfully located the warehouse where the bandits were hiding.
The pace of the artificial intelligence Jarvis is obviously considerably faster than the police system that relies on personnel to monitor and make arrests one at a time.
"Count the number of people within the warehouse by scanning its structure!"
Tony didn't instantly charge in wearing the armor and shoot the criminals down with a few shots because they were holding a captive. Instead, he scanned the entire warehouse using the armor's sophisticated scanning system.
"Sir, there are four adult human guys and one human youngster inside the warehouse. The four adult male humans, however, are currently without vital signs!
"What?" Tony's face revealed an expression of surprise at hearing Jarvis' report.
Tony entered the warehouse while wearing the armor after the door was opened by a palm cannon with a loud boom.
"Who… did this?"
Nothing could be heard in the warehouse while blood, bodies, and US currency were all over the place. It was clear that someone had already located and slain all of these robbers before he did.
——
"Oh? It's a little efficient that the police arrived here so fast!"
Jerry waited while lying on the bed, his eyes closed. He jumped out of bed as soon as he heard the loud noise coming from outside.
"Is it going to be weird if I were to be just like this?"
Four vicious robbers abducted an eleven-year-old boy here, but he showed no signs of fear and maintained his calm demeanor the entire time.
After giving it some thought, Jerry pulled out his wand and muttered, "Mucus ad Nauseam!"
Two lines of snot suddenly began to pour down his face after a weak magical light shot there. This spell, called The Curse of the Bogies, might cause the caster's nose to run perpetually. The effect was significantly less because Jerry specifically decreased the quantity of magic power when casting this spell.
He withdrew the wand and his look changed to one of panic and terror as he furiously rubbed his eyes once more, this time causing the eye sockets to turn red. A young child who was usually kidnapped and terrified made a perfect debut.
A short while later, a tall man in armor entered the room after being roughly knocked open the wooden door.
"Iron Man!" Jerry, whose nose was stuffed with snot, stared at the individual and couldn't help but remark.
He assumed that the police had arrived, but he had not anticipated Iron Man.
"Yeah, it's me. Come here, and I'll take you home; don't be alarmed, you are already safe."
After being briefly surprised by the soothing voice emanating from the suit of armor, Jerry wiped his nose and jokingly said, "Iron Man, it's so cool!"
"Yes, really cool. As long as you follow me, I'll think about giving you a little model of it."
Tony raised his hand, fired his palm cannon through the wall of the room, and walked out of the warehouse, refusing to lead Jerry through the main door, which was full of dead and blood.
"Jarvis, get in touch with the police so they can help find the burglars. Send them this address together with all the documentation we had just, from the time we arrived to the time we left."
After telling Jarvis to go, Tony took Jerry and flew at a low height in the direction of the school bus.
"What's your name?"
"Jerry!"
"Did you hear any strange noises in the room just now?"
"I only heard some gunshots and shouting."
"Shouting?"
"Yes, idiot, bastard, bitch…"
"Okay, forget those bad words…"
"Are you really Iron Man?"
"Yeah."
"Is it true that you said you would give me a set of models?"
"Of course, it will be delivered to your door tomorrow morning."
In this way, Jerry may be playing a normal child, chatting with Tony without saying a word.
"Looks like I have to find time to get a broomstick and bring it here." Said Jerry in a low voice.
Jerry couldn't help but look jealous as he watched Tony soar into the air in his gear. Jerry is not an exception to the rule that all people with free hearts dream of flying, especially the kind of flying when they are in complete control and can soar through the skies.
Fortunately, wizards also have special flying techniques of their own.
The broom is the simplest and most practical means of flight. A typical broom, like the Nimbus 1000, travels at a rate of roughly 100 miles per hour, or 160 kilometers per hour.
Better broomsticks, such as the Nimbus 2000 and the even faster Firebolt, can travel at speeds of more than 200 km/h.
You can even learn the flying spell and fly as a white light when your strength is strong. No further magical tools had to be used by you.
Of course, whether it's a flying spell or a broomstick, its pace is unquestionably slower than Tony's iron suit. After all, in his former existence, he had heard from his coworkers that Tony's iron suit could travel at supersonic speeds.
Broomsticks are exclusively used by wizards for close-range flight, though. They can employ Apparition, Portkey, or Floo Powder for long-distance flying to arrive at their location in an instant.
Tony didn't fly very fast since he had to make sure Jerry was safe. Prior to reaching the location where the school bus was waiting, it took about an hour to fly there.
At this point, there were numerous police officers gathered around the site of the school bus. When Tony located the school bus, he informed the neighborhood police station of its whereabouts.
"Jerry, I'm so glad you're okay!"
Under the direction of the police, the majority of the students were sent to their homes. Only Mrs. Belle insisted on staying to see how the rescue turned out because she was concerned for Jerry's safety.
Belle is a very responsible teacher despite being a young woman, barely in her twenties. She offered to be a hostage at that point, which was visible, and she stood up to defend the youngsters on the school bus.
And Jerry served as a hostage in lieu of her. She would feel terrible for the rest of her life if she couldn't confirm Jerry's safety.
"I'm… Okay, Mrs. Belle." he said.
Jerry was immediately held and kissed by the overjoyed Mrs. Belle once he touched down, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"Jerry, Jerry!"
When Jerry heard a familiar voice from the front, he turned up to see Aisha running towards him while shouting and brandishing her bubble pistol as she leaped out of a police car.
"I'll go first, and then I'll leave this youngster in your care." As soon as Tony said hello and noticed that there were already police officers approaching him, he put on the armor and flew away.
He didn't want to squander his valuable time talking to the cops. He received a new inspiration when he happened to return from this trip, so he had to head back right away.
"Thank you! Please don't forget about the model you've promised." Iron Man waved goodbye as he flew into the air, reminding Jerry of the model he had earlier promised.
"I'm a respectable Tony Stark, Jarvis. Is my reputation that negative in the eyes of children outside?" Tony's self-esteem suffered as a result of Jerry continuously reminding him that he didn't trust him.
"Sir, you only occasionally have a pessimistic outlook on such occasions." Jarvis graciously answered.
"I guess you're right, you are now in charge of the lab's mechanical arm, create a model armor that is the same size as the child right now, and then have Miss Potts send it to him the following morning."
"Yes, sir."
Jerry went back to his regular form after witnessing Tony Stark vanish entirely while operating the armor.
"Have you sent those demons back to hell, Jerry?" Excitedly, Aisha approached Jerry and enquired.
"Of course, as a demon king, I excel at damning people to hell."
Jerry grinned as he rubbed Aisha's head after hearing this "Why are you here by yourself, Aisha? Where is dad?"
"Sheriff Haas just learned the information. He personally led the crew to the warehouse because he believed you were still there." At this point, Mrs. Belle spoke up after letting go of Jerry.
Iron Man appears to have sent the police station the address of the warehouse just now, while he went away. It doesn't matter, because Jerry paid close attention during the recent combat, and there shouldn't be any evidence that he killed a few robbers.
The main murder weapon, a dagger, which had already been transformed into a bench leg by him, was used to murder three of the robbers. Under his legs, the last robber perished without leaving any prints. During the fight, he was particularly careful to avoid getting any blood on himself.
In fact, leaving behind fingerprints is acceptable. Four robbers took him from the school bus, and he traveled all the way to the warehouse. It is improbable that there was no touch of any kind.
The most significant aspect is that no one would believe that an 11-year-old youngster with good behavior and grades could kill four dangerous robbers while being locked in a room without suffering any harm.
"I need to rest for a little, Mrs. Belle. Let's head back to the car."
The effects of simply employing the system's ability have not completely subsided. Find a spot to sit down for a while is a good option rather than continuing to stand here.
"All right, I'll drive you to get some rest in your dad's automobile." Aisha and Jerry were dancing around when Teacher Bailey gave a quick nod and bundled them into the car.
Jerry was familiar with the most of the police officers who were currently surrounding them. They essentially worked with his father. The police officers have heard about him from his earlier actions on the school bus. When the police see Jerry now, they will all compliment him.
When they see Jerry, some elderly police officers with families may even inexplicably recall their own bratty kids. They also let out a deep sigh in comparison.
Jerry may be ranked first in Queens among kids his age in a competition of behavior.
——
In a residential building in Queens, at midnight, at twelve.
Jerry activated the alarm, which rang, and sat up slowly from the bed. After returning to the school bus for almost an hour, Jerry's father Haas in this universe hurried back when he learned that Iron Man had sent Jerry back.
Follow-up issues were not crucial because the four robbers were slain and practically all of the bank's cash was recovered.
Sheriff Haas took Jerry and Aisha, along with Mrs. Belle, to a fancy restaurant in Queens where they indulged a little to celebrate Jerry's safety.
Jerry made hints at some of them and discovered through Haas that the police station did not suspect him but rather believed it to be some unsung hero with exceptional abilities who valiantly killed four thieves for a just cause, handled with the evidence, and then disappeared.
Of course, the police department does not support this kind of conduct, and all evidence can be dealt with in a tidy manner. The police station now has a good cause to think that this unsung hero may not be as straightforward.
After getting dressed and getting into his baseball cap, Jerry cautiously opened the door, entered the living room, and then rapidly departed the space with a magic wand before arriving at the building's elevator.
He made the decision today to devote two or three hours each night to earning red stars.
One could argue that his most valuable asset right now is a red star. Red stars must be consumed to enter the Harry Potter universe, to speed up the learning process for magic, and to activate the refreshing ability.
Being a nice person and carrying out good activities, particularly stopping crimes, are the sources of red stars. It has been amply demonstrated throughout the day that the worse the crime, the more red stars you can get after preventing it.
Jerry carefully walked to the first level while avoiding the security cameras and guards stationed around the building.
In the "Harry Potter" universe, the 20th century is still going strong. One could say that in a technologically advanced society like Marvel, monitoring stations are spread out over the streets and alleys.
He needs to be extra careful if he doesn't want to be found out by the police or the S.H.I.E.L.D. that specializes in unusual cases. He hasn't mastered the illusion spell yet, which is the main problem. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to be as cautious.
Jerry didn't immediately venture to regions of Queens with a significant amount of crime as he was strolling the streets. Instead, he expertly navigated a street which he saw a familiar store in it.
Lina's Magic House.
Aisha's favorite store is one that specialized in offering children's fairy tale costumes and accessories. From this shop, Aisha purchased multiple sets of Snow Queen costumes as well as several magic wands.
Why did Jerry come to this shop so late?
Of course, it's because he needs a suit of his own.
He needs to wear a distinctive combat robe that can conceal his appearance like all superheroes in order to avoid being noticed by others while earning a red star. What outfit is more appropriate for a serious wizard than wizard robes?
Interestingly, according to Jerry's knowledge, Lina's Magic House has a number of wizard robes in various colors and styles for sale.

"Alohomora!"
The secret magic power contained in the lock-unlocking spell was used by the wand to instantaneously open the store's closed door. To be completely honest, if it were only the normal world, Jerry could use this unlocking spell to become the world's top thief and lead a stylish life without having to worry about food or clothing.
It's unfortunate that this is the Marvel world and the purple titan can't be stopped with an unlocking spell alone.
Jerry pushed open the door and walked inside. After looking around a while, he saw himself standing in front of the cash register, dressed in a black wizard hat, a black mask with only the eyes showing, and a loose-fitting dark wizard robe. He took $200 dollars from his pocket, placed them on the table, then turned around and walked away.
He opted by this route rather than spending the money to buy it outright, primarily out of concern that his buying history would be discovered through the clothing' fashion.
Despite being a wizard, he is not a retrograde wizard who was born and reared in the wizarding world. Therefore, he never undervalues the influence of technology in this society. Particularly, given that this is still the Marvel universe, several technologies here are much advanced from those used today.
Actually, the best battle robe is his Hogwarts school outfit, but when he came back, he was worried that the robbers would notice something unusual, so he just brought a necessary magic wand.
Jerry shut the shop door and headed toward high-crime neighborhoods while walking in the dark and wearing a pitch-black wizard robe. Haas Witt, Jerry's father's full name, is a sheriff with the Queens Police Department. He is responsible for keeping Queens District law and order every day.
So, as long as he is a little cautious, he still has some ideas about where crimes frequently happen in Queens because he is the son of a sheriff. In truth, there haven't been any significant issues and Queens' security situation is generally solid. Only a handful of significant incidents resemble this bank robbery.
He once overheard his father Haas discussing the security situation in New York with some of his coworkers. It claimed that a ghetto in Manhattan had the highest crime rate right now. There are only eight streets there, but there are more crimes committed there every day than there are in all of New York.
Jerry doesn't have any immediate plans to earn a tiny red star there, though.
First of all, it is rather distant from his residence and is part of the Manhattan region. Since there are no reliable transportation options, traveling back and forth is really inconvenient.
Second, the spells he is familiar with are all auxiliary because he has only recently came into contact with magic. Although he has the Refreshing ability, there are certain negative side effects.
To be honest, there is a fair amount of risk involved in visiting a location like that. Risk-taking is not necessary at this time, and it won't be too late to leave when the going gets tough later.

"Hey, this is a good start!"
When Jerry saw something unexpected in a little 24-hour supermarket across the street, he hadn't traveled very far from the store. It is actually a tiny supermarket. Jerry believes that calling it a little store would be more accurate.
The owner of the little supermarket, an elderly Chinese woman who was probably close to sixty years old, was confronted by a young man brandishing a gun at this moment.
"Hurry up, you old hag!"
The elderly woman was furious, but she lacked the courage to fight back. She placed a tiny bag on the cashier's desk at the local grocery and filled it with the entire day's sales.
The young person is obviously a repeat offender, but he didn't even cover his face since he understood that as long as the target was a little establishment like this, the issue wouldn't be too severe.
They feel that it is appropriate to bully individuals who have suffered the same injuries as themselves but they dare not confront those who have injured them.
A short person blocked the entrance to the tiny supermarket just as the youth scooped up the bag off the table, which included stray bags worth thousands of dollars, and was going to leave.
"Get out of the way, little bastard, or I'll stuff your head in your ass!"
The youngster was not being courteous when he approached the child, who was wearing a mask and a bizarre black wizard robe.
It's unfortunate that the child dressed in the black wizard robe didn't appear to be scared. Instead, he said calmly, "Please set down the bag in your hand!"
"So, you asked for a death wish!"
He lacks the courage to shoot and kill individuals, but it is obviously no problem to teach them a lesson. He therefore inserted the money bag in his left hand into his pocket before raising and firmly pushing it forward.
To make the child aware of the hazards of society and to tell him that the man who hasn't even grown his hair should stop meddling in his own business, he planned to push the child who was blocking the door to the ground before kicking him several times hard.
"Don't hurt the kid." When she noticed this, the elderly woman behind the counter exclaimed.
"Heh."
Jerry observed the young man pushing his hand before rapidly raising his hand, precisely grabbing the other's middle finger, and breaking it forcefully without dodging.
"Argh!" The young man was ready to shoot Jerry when he let out a scream and raised the pistol he had been holding in his right hand.
"Spongify!" Jerry initially raised his wand and used a softening spell because he had anticipated it for a very long time.
"What!?" The young man made a noise as he stared at the dough-soft pistol in his right palm.
Since Jerry's strength is inferior to that of the enemy without the super state, he naturally seeks to attack the enemy's weak points. The young man tossed the weapon aside and knelt down on the ground, covering his balls because he had no time to respond because the pistol had become soft.
Jerry skillfully whacked the young man's neck as he was kneeling on the ground after letting go of the young man's fingers. He believes it is best to avoid activating the super state when it is not required because consumes the red star and has negative side effects later.
"God, oh God!" When the elderly woman saw that Jerry had knocked the thieving young man to the ground, she was compelled to shout in Chinese.
"This is your money, Grandma, so take it!"
Jerry yanked the young man's money bag out of his arms and threw it down on the desk. Then, after looking through the young man's pockets, he discovered many dozen dollars, which he then placed in his own pocket.
"Grandma, you may phone the police and have this robber arrested. These are my rewards."
"Okay…Okay, my child, I appreciate it."
The elderly woman turned away after taking one look at the odd child dressed in the wizard's robe. After a brief moment of surprise, she loudly thanked him. But as she regained consciousness, she discovered that the young kid dressed in the wizard's robe had just spoken to her in very fluent and natural Chinese.
Could it be that this little boy is from China like her?
Report chapter Comments
When Jerry left that street, he was dressed as a wizard and traveled down some abandoned routes to surrounding locations where there were a lot of crimes. With that Chinese grandma, he simply talked Chinese, but he did so on purpose.
He needs to acquire a red star in order to strengthen himself, and as his strength grows, he will undoubtedly take part in bigger and bigger situations that help stop crimes and tragedies from happening in the future.
He will eventually interact with members of the public, law enforcement, and even S.H.I.E.L.D.
If someone carefully looks into him at that time, they will discover that this wizard who has the ability to utilize magic, the first time he accomplishes something admirable in public, speaks Chinese fluently and authentically. People will always trust the clues that were left if you put some effort in it.
If he were to be speaking in English, hidden behind a mask while donning a wizard hat, robe, and magic wand, it would reveal his true identity.
Therefore, a Chinese child living in New York is very likely who he really is. Some guys who wish to know his genuine identity are perfectly diverted by this.
Jerry believes that it is crucial to keep his identity a secret because he is not alone. He also has a loving father and a beautiful sister. In the future, he will be extremely strong, but his family will never be able to match him in strength.
They have been living together for eleven years and might be considered his only two relatives in this world, despite the fact that they are not related by blood to his body.
In relation to it, their three-person family is a little peculiar. Three individuals with three last names. His father's name is Haas Witt, his sister is Aisha Hathaway, and he goes by the name Jerry Carmen.
Despite the fact that Jerry doesn't actually share any blood with the two, Aisha and Haas are a true father and daughter. Just a short while after Aisha was born, Aisha's mother passed away from physical causes. Haas gave his daughter her mother's last name as a tribute to his late wife.
Jerry's circumstance was far worse. When he was born, his parents vanished without a trace, and no information has been discovered since. Haas enjoyed a close bond with his father. He took the initiative to adopt Jerry and nurture him as his own son after Jerry's parents vanished.
It lasted to this day. Jerry is still really appreciative of Haas. You must be aware that while having memories from his previous life, he lacked the capacity to defend himself when he was a child.
——
It is uncommon to see other people on the streets of New York at midnight, except from the homeless, office workers who work overtime and arrive late, and young people who enjoy nightlife.
Of course, there are criminals who prefer to engage in illicit activity at night. Superheroes are also out there in the darkness battling crooks.
"Thief! Please help catch the thief!" Unexpectedly, a woman's frantic help for rescue could be heard in the quiet night.
Lucy is a tabloid reporter. She has to put in a few more hours of work tonight since she needs to organize the materials for tomorrow.
She was unintentionally bumped as soon as she exited the metro, which was unexpected. When she examined her purse right away, she discovered that the wallet inside had been removed and the purse had been opened.
She could only scream for help, hoping that a kind passerby on the side of the road would be able to stop her. It was unfortunate that not many people were on the street at this time and those who were just opted to watch from the sidelines.
Because nobody wants to see the robber stab him several times as he approaches to stop him.
The thief was instantly covered in an odd fog as Lucy watched the thief's back slowly fade into her vision. When she came, the smoke vanished in an instant, leaving only the pink wallet in his hand and the unconscious thief who had taken her wallet.
"It's almost three o'clock, I have to return home." Jerry looked at the time and decided to call the first hunt off tonight after once more catching a street thief.
Not bad, he put a stop to four crimes in one evening. They weren't big, but they also brought him close to 200 red stars.
There are a ton of crimes in New York during the night, both apparent and invisible, big and tiny. Simply said, Jerry's current range of activities can only be found close to his existing neighborhood because he lacks reliable transportation.
Additionally, he lacks a way to locate criminal acts rapidly, therefore the efficiency is not great. He considers himself fortunate to find four in a single night. It's unfortunate that he lacks Superman's ears because it can always and everywhere hear crimes taking place close by.

The following morning around seven, Jerry naturally awoke from sleep.
Jerry would wake up at seven every day ever since he learned how to care for himself to a certain extent. It's become his daily routine.
He rolled over, got his shoes and clothes on, pushed open the door, and walked out of the house. The purpose of going outside early in the morning is to run and exercise every morning, not to go out and battle for righteousness and earn a red star.
His muscles did not appear overnight. Through a variety of daily exercises, they gradually developed and gathered a lot of sweat.
"Jerry, good morning. I'm out for another run."
"Grandpa George, good morning!"
Jerry came upon an old neighbor who lived next door and enjoyed morning walks while he was still in the elevator.
It's difficult not to be impressed by a little child that gets up early and goes for a run when since they're four or five years old. In addition, he is courteous and will assist you in picking up items and throwing out rubbish.
The impressions Jerry has left on his neighbors throughout the years include kindness, positivity, optimism, politeness, helpfulness, great accomplishments, and a passion for sports.
Along with other kids in the entire building, it also causes agony for a lot of kids in the adjacent neighborhoods.
Jerry arrived home forty minutes later, drenched in sweat.
He currently runs ten kilometers every morning, but it will take him a bit longer because he is not yet an adult, his legs are not long enough, and he frequently receives a red star on the road. Otherwise, he can run 10 kilometers for almost 30 minutes with his current level of fitness.
Jerry began his routine morning routine of brushing his teeth and taking a shower after tossing all of his changed clothes into the washing machine and pressing the automatic laundry button.
He changed back into his clothes, put on a scarf, and entered the kitchen ten minutes later.
Report chapter Comments
In his past existence, Jerry was an early expert at numerous farm and housework tasks as a child from the countryside. After graduating from college and relocating to the city to work, most of the time he prepares meals for himself.
It's not because they believe the food is contaminated and filthy outside. Children from rural areas don't give a damn about that. It's just that eating at home can be less expensive than eating out by almost half.
You will need at least 5$ a day for three meals, which is still the average. If you live in the city and spend money on food it will increase more than that. According to estimates, you could be spending about 8$.
And when he goes to the market to buy veggies, especially when he cooks alone, he will negotiate once more. Usually, he can get by for more than $5 for two days, and the food is still excellent.
"The children of the poor ought to take over the family right away."
The original intent of this sentence was to commend the children of the poor for being more reasonable and resilient than the children of the privileged. In actuality, though, that is hardly something to be commended.
Most of the time, the child's excessive obedient and sensible behavior is simply a result of his brutal upbringing.
The impoverished have had a very difficult time of it. When you go to school, you have the pressure of learning. When you go to work, you have the strain of working. When you get married, you have the pressure of living, and when you get older, you have the pressure of your body.
The one and only pressure-free childhood, but one must learn to "be in charge early." This portrayal of Jerry's earlier life is remarkably accurate. He is not a chef, although he is quite skilled at making several foods from scratch.
He is obviously hesitant to accept Haas' upbringing and provide for him in exchange for nothing because he has an adult soul. He will take the initiative to do certain things that he is capable of doing, such as cleaning, cooking, and taking care of Aisha.
Of course, one of the factors is that Haas is your standard big boss. Haas and Aisha will muck up the entire house in two days if Jerry doesn't clean it up, and Jerry's head will ache just from looking at it.
Haas is a terrible cook; even stray cats won't eat the food she makes. It's possible that the food they ate during the times when Jerry couldn't prepare meals was extraordinary.
"Let's prepare a bowl of noodles in clear soup in the morning. Aisha likes to eat noodles."
Jerry cooks some Western-style breakfasts to save time while he is at school because he is not used to eating certain Western-style cuisine. He typically prepares breakfasts in the Chinese style most weekends or during summer vacations like this one.
It's actually not too horrible, so maybe Haas and Aisha will get used to it.
There are so many Chinese-inspired foods, and even though they dislike some of them, there are always those that they enjoy eating, such as clear soup noodles, Kung Pao chicken, boiled fish, a hot pot, and shredded pork with fish taste.
Haas once wondered why Jerry cooks so many Chinese dishes. Jerry calmly placed in front of Haas the encyclopedia of Chinese dishes he had already bought from Chinatown.
"Jerry, you get up so early once more. It's summer vacation, so you can actually snooze a bit longer. Dad can also get takeout for breakfast."
Haas, who was tired, also started to get up to straighten himself up while he was pulling the essential items out of the refrigerator.
Haas does not take winter or summer vacations because he is the police chief. He still has to report to work as usual to do the follow-up tasks after the bank heist from yesterday.
"It's okay, I'm used to it, you can go wake Aisha up when you're finished, eat noodles this morning, it won't taste nice if it's late." Jerry said as he turned on the gas stove.
"Noodles? That's wonderful. I love noodles."
Haas cleaned himself up before going to Aisha's room. Aisha is a small child, so getting her up to eat is not an easy task, and Haas will probably have to exert a lot of effort.
"Get dressed and get up to eat, Aisha.:
"Don't even consider removing my Ice Queen from the castle, Haas, god of death. Take this, Ice Spear of Freezing the Void."
"Ouch!"
Jerry also shook his head while grinning as he heard the sound of the father and daughter fighting emanating from the room.
Crack three eggs into a pan that has been heated with cold oil. Once the eggs are created, flip them over and fry them until they are burned on both sides. He created the soup base by adding hot, previously boiled water.
Remove the eggs and divide them into three halves for later use. When the water in the saucepan begins to boil once again, add the noodles and a few small green veggies that you've previously chosen.
When preparing the noodles, remove three bowls and add the appropriate amounts of fat, light soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and shallots.
The noodles are given a second boil in water, the soup is divided among three bowls, the noodles, eggs, and green vegetables are added one at a time, and the dish is finished with aromatic and revitalizing noodles in clear soup.
Haas finally managed to hoist Aisha out of the room at this point. Yes, it literally involves raising her up by the collar of her clothing and assisting her in washing her face and brushing her teeth.
"My favorite food is noodles!" Aisha quickly shouted out in joy upon seeing that her favorite noodles for breakfast were there.
"Eat fast, don't let it sit around becoming cold." Jerry stroked Aisha's hair.
"Jerry, if you ever decide to operate a Chinese restaurant, it will undoubtedly be a success. Compared to the noodle I had in Chinatown, this one is far superior." Haas admired while using a fork to eat the noodles in the bowl.
"I don't intend to spend all of my time in the kitchen, so forget it, it's acceptable to do it occasionally." Cooking is just a survival skill for Jerry, not a hobby.
"Have you given any thought to your future plans? scientists, police officers, attorneys, or business owners?" As he spoke, Haas ate a large gulp of soup.
Haas believes that as long as Jerry is willing, these jobs shouldn't be an issue because he has never met a child as exceptional as Jerry in all of his years of existence.
Jerry was stunned when he heard that.
The ability to learn with the bonus of red stars, experience from prior lives, and magical prowess are all shared by becoming a scientist, police officer, lawyer, and business owner. These careers, which were highly desired in prior incarnations, appear to be simple to obtain in this one. But do these actually satisfy his needs?
In his past life, he craved for these jobs not because he liked them but because he believed that the pay and benefits were excellent and that an average wage person who had no connection to him and was poor at communicating could not afford them.
What kind of person and profession does he wish to have in the future since he doesn't appear to have to worry about money in this life?
"I haven't decided yet, let's discuss it when I'm older!" Jerry lowered his chopsticks and answered with a smile.
Indeed, he really hasn't made up his mind yet. He doesn't particularly want to do anything, at least for now. He merely desires to strengthen himself and protect Haas and Aisha from being harmed in the future.

With an unusual expression on his face, Haas changed into his police uniform after breakfast and motioned for Jerry to the side.
"What is it, Dad? Could it be that Aisha damaged your lightsaber collection again?" Jerry looked at Haas with a surprised expression on his face as opposed to the normal serious expression on his face.
"Ah, it's not that."
Haas coughed before regaining his composure and saying, "Since you were a young child, Jerry, you have shown yourself to be incredibly thoughtful, kind, and brave. Thank you, and I'm so proud of you. You are still a kid though, you know that? Dad hopes you'll be able to prioritize defending yourself if you run into the same circumstance as yesterday. Dad only has one son, when something bad happens to you…"
When Haas learnt that Jerry and Aisha's school bus had been taken over by criminals yesterday at the police station, he nearly suffered a heart attack. He also experienced conflicting emotions when he later discovered the school bus and learned from Mrs. Belle that Jerry had stood up and taken hostages in place of others.
From the perspective of the police, Haas undoubtedly supported and encouraged Jerry's actions. But how on earth could Haas, as a father, want his kid to engage in such a risky behavior?
Although Jerry is not his biological child, he already thought of Jerry as his own son.
In the end, Jerry had to consider the his perspective, which was to sternly warn him that the next time he finds himself in a similar scenario as a child, he must defend himself right away.
"Yes, Dad. Actually, I'm rather frightened as well. The next time, I won't do it." Since Jerry is not truly a child, he instinctively appreciated Haas' meticulous efforts and nodded in accord without objecting.
However, Jerry is just a regular child. Of course, he won't intervene the next time this occurs. The mysterious magical youngster will be the one to take action.
"That's great. I'm heading to work while you and Aisha play at home. If you need anything, give me a call." Haas was also a little relieved to see that Jerry's expression showed no resistance or skepticism.
Jerry has, after all, been acting in a pretty admirable manner. Jerry will receive praise from everyone in this regard, but as a father, he disagrees. He worries that Jerry won't understand what he said today and that it would end the other way.
But it was clear that the outcome was excellent. Jerry was still incredibly mature and sensible as before, so he was able to comprehend his arduous efforts with ease.
"Aisha, don't you want to kiss your father before he leaves for work?"
After speaking with Jerry, Haas realized that it wouldn't be long before work time and called out to Aisha, who was in the living room watching cartoons. Aisha did not let Haas down, she leaped off the couch and rushed over to kiss his face.
"Dad, before you go to work, let's play a game!"
"What kind of game?" Haas was momentarily surprised.
"Let's see who is lighter. I'll let you go to work if you triumph!" With innocent eyes, Aisha asked Haas.
"Okay, that's easy!" Haas tightened his hand and lightly tapped young Aisha's stomach.
"It's my turn now!"
Aisha grinned before clenching her tiny fist and yelling angrily, "Ice Queen's punishment!"
She then gave Haas a hard slap on the stomach, knocking him down to the ground while he was crouching.
"Dad, you've won! Now get to work!"
After that, Aisha kept watching cartoons without turning around, leaving just Haas with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, the doorbell rang at this moment.
A delivery man bearing a lengthy, bulky cardboard box knocked on Haas' door and inquired, "Excuse me, is Mr. Jerry Carmen at home?"
"He's here, what seems to be the case?" Haas had a perplexed expression on his face.
"Please come out and sign for it here." The delivery person set the cardboard box down.
"A delivery? I didn't make any online purchases."
Jerry, who also heard the sound, appeared to be struggling. He is a little boy of eleven. He typically does either workout or seeks for chances to get a star. He barely uses the internet. What can he possibly purchase online?
The delivery man examined the slip and said, "It's a delivery from a lady by the name of Pepper Potts!"
Jerry thought back on the few recollections of Marvel movies he had while signing for the delivery.
"Is that the girlfriend of Iron Man?"
"Oh my God, it was Iron Man's suit all along. It's awesome. Jerry, you received an Iron Man model set from someone. Now, this item is not available anywhere in the world!"
Haas had already taken out the Iron Man model in the same proportion as Jerry while Jerry was still attempting to recall, and he appeared to be very excited.
"When Iron Man saved me yesterday, he made a promise to deliver it to me. I assumed he was making a joke, but I wasn't prepared for him to actually give me a set. However, isn't the lightsaber from "Star Wars" your favorite?"
"Even though Star Wars is simply a movie, the iron suit is real. I adore Tony Stark's energy cannon-shooting armor so much!"
Jerry heard him out and was speechless. Never imagined that his father Haas continued to be an Iron Man enthusiast.
Jerry once heard that certain passions may be passed down via families, but he didn't think that was true. He didn't understand that interest can actually be inherited until he met Haas and Aisha. Aisha just like all forms of magic, whereas Haas prefers all forms of mecha and lightsabers.
"If you like it, Dad, I'll give it to you."
Actually, Jerry isn't all that interested in this kind of armor and machinery. In order to enhance his design at the moment and ensure that Iron Man had complete confidence in himself, he urged him to ask Iron Man for a model.
Additionally, the model Iron Man gave him is unquestionably simply a model. Nothing could possibly be there that could be utilized as a weapon.
"Jerry, you are my love." Haas was so ecstatic to hear Jerry's words that he practically jumped up. To offer Jerry a father's kiss, he knelt down.
"Dad, you still have 20 minutes to get to the police station or you'll be late. It's 8:40." The kiss between Haas and Jerry was precisely halted by Jerry's extended hand.
God, the time goes by so quickly! Jerry, please help me put this armor model, please don't let Aisha damage it." Haas swiftly handed Jerry the iron suit model after checking the time and hurriedly leaving.
"Boys will always be boys." Jerry's head couldn't help but shake.
For a thirty-six year old, cunning and capable sheriff in the police station to truly enjoy this sort of activity is not a huge deal. After all, he would not be as composed as he is right now if someone handed him a nunchaku similar to the one Bruce Lee used.

Jerry was going to send an extremely large and weighty iron suit model to Haas's room when the door was shut. When he looked up, he noticed Aisha standing on the couch and gazing intently at the iron suit model in his hand.
"Don't you dare, or dad will be angry!" Jerry warned her.
"I don't care about that scrap metal, it's not as strong as my crystal magic wand," Aisha snorted sweetly. She raised the wooden stick with the large glass bead inlay in her hand as she talked.
Aisha lost her mother when she was a little, and Haas was frequently involved in police investigations and out from home. She was raised by Jerry, who was nearly always by her side. So even if Aisha didn't want to obey Jerry's orders, she would as long as he gave a warning.
"By the way, Jerry. Susan and Anne promised to visit our house today to play when we were at school yesterday."
"Susan and Anne? Well, the two young girls who enjoy eating." Jerry heard this and covered his forehead.
Aisha's classmates Anne and Susan can be thought of as having grown up together. The fathers of the two daughters live in the same neighborhood and are coworkers of Haas's at the same police department. The three families get along well with one another.
Jerry was two years old and Elsa had just turned one when Aisha's mother passed away. They didn't suffer too much because Anne and Susan's mothers took turns caring for them. Jerry won't often bother the two families once he's a little older and capable of caring for himself and Aisha.
"Just watch the TV here while I get some rest."
He lost a lot of sleep last night while working to obtain red stars, and this morning he was up early once more. He now wants to get some rest before the other two small boys arrive.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to sleep in peace if the three tiny girls got together.
—-
"I, Ice Queen Aisha, summon the dormant Ice and Snow Demon God from a remote region of extreme cold, and he arrives here. freezing storm that is all black! Whiten everything to resemble snow! — Wave of Freezing Ice!"
"The hellish depths' blazing fire! I'm calling you to come in the name of Anne, the Fire Queen. Fire of the World, burn my adversaries and purge the world of all evils!"
"O' all-powerful wind elf! Carry the will of I, Win Queen Susan and pierce the abyss of the distant sky using the atmosphere as a bow and brilliance as an arrow! Arrow of the Hurricane!"
Jerry was slightly roused by girl voices from outside the room more than two hours later. He was aware that Anne and Susan were the visitors.
The three girls were standing on the sofa with their own magic wands, unleashing their earth-shattering magic to each other as soon as the door was opened.
"Hello, Brother Jerry!" Jerry appeared in the living room, and Anne and Susan excitedly waved their wands at him.
"You must avoid distraction if you don't want to lose to Aisha's magic strength." Jerry gave a grave response.
After giving a serious nod in response to the remarks, Anne and Susan promptly raised their wands once more and cast their magic upon Aisha. When Jerry realized this, he grinned like a father and walked to the kitchen to get the fixings for lunch.
The three small girls actually ate very little, save from the fact that he ate more because he exercised more frequently each day. It was plenty to order a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and some sweet and sour pork.
—-
The three young girls had a snooze after lunch before starting to watch cartoons together. After some time, Jerry visited the park in the neighborhood below. If he's free over the holidays, he'll practice in the area for fundamental boxing, leg, footwork, elbow, knee, wrestling, and holding.
The workout isn't always that complicated. You can truly handle most circumstances if you master these fundamentals and control your strength, speed, and reaction time.
After spending some time watching TV with Aisha and Haas in the evening, Jerry returned to his room and began performing a series of strength exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, and dumbbell lifts.
He was once more awakened by the alarm that he had previously set at twelve in the middle of the night. He silently exited the building while wearing the wizard robe he had just acquired and began the process of accumulating more little red stars.
An entire month vanished in an instant like that. After Haas went for work early that morning, Jerry did not get any sleep. Instead, he sat in the living room with Aisha and watched cartoons.
Just that, while having his eyes glued to the TV, he was paying more attention to the odd panel in front of him.
His red stars had grown to over 6,000 after working diligently for more than a month. At this point, the weird panel's symbol for the small world starts to light up once more. As a result, he can finally return to the "Harry Potter" universe to pick up magic once more.
Jerry had a number of unique experiences after a month of going out at night to earn red stars, and it was these unique experiences that prompted him to want to visit the small world as soon as possible to learn more magic.
The first thing is going out. Avoiding cameras and security personnel is like being a robber every time he leaves his house unnoticed late at night. Even Haas, who was awake at the time, happened to cross his path once.
Second, it's incredibly inconvenient because he doesn't have my own means of transportation.
There are still some fans seeking him for pictures and autographs, especially now that he has some notoriety in the region close to the town.
The most notable of them all was a female reporter by the name of Lucy. She appeared to have an understanding of Jerry's overall spectrum of activities since every day, she would stroll around with a camera.
It was quite inconvenient for him to recently set out to acquire a red star.
The fact that the cops did not appear to notice his behavior of performing vigilant act was what left him most stunned. After concluding his duties, he occasionally ran too slowly and was pursued by the police.
He even once bumped into Haas while he was doing the night shift. He used his "Refreshing" ability then in order to avoid being seen by Haas and escape immediately. The power of various spells increases as a result of his magic developing more and more. Now he can effortlessly use magic to subdue a criminal practically every time.
Overall, he had to visit Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn a lot more valuable spells and he had to figure out a means to bring a broomstick the next time he returned in order to gain red stars more quickly.
He has more than 6,000 red stars to complete his two-month Hogwarts course of study.
However, it is predicted that you will survive for less than two months if you frequently activate the "Refreshing" ability. He will then need to figure out a means to augment it by obtaining some red stars in that world.
"Enter the Harry Potter world!" Jerry, who was seated on the sofa, decided to proceed right away. He focused his attention before pressing the panel's enter button.
The entire world has once more descended into a state of silence.

The blackness dwindled, and the body's consciousness came back.
Jerry opened his eyes once more to see that he was at the Edward Orphanage in London and not at his Queens, New York, home.
He took a deep breath, picked up Crookshanks, and pushed the tiny cart toward the orphanage's gate after pulling up the large bag he had packed before leaving and placing it on it.
The current director of the Edward Orphanage has been waiting there in his car because of Professor McGonagall's orders from a month before he left. Not all common people can stoically accept the enigmatic existence of wizards.
The realization that wizards actually did exist in this world certainly increased the dread and amazement felt by many common people during this time, especially the elder ones. The Edward Orphanage's dean is like this.
The dean was nearly silent and cautious while Jerry was being sent to King's Cross Station in London, and Jerry decided it wasn't necessary to go talk to the dean.
King's Cross Station in London is still far from the town. After more than two hours of driving, the automobile finally arrived at King's Cross Station's gate just before ten in the morning.
Jerry and his suitcase were placed down, and the dean formally bid him farewell before scurrying off in his own vehicle. It is predicted that the dean won't pick King's Cross Station once more if he rides the train in the future.
There is a platform here that has been made up especially for wizards, and he finds it to be too frightening.
——
Given that the scheduled departure time is eleven o'clock and the current time is just a little after ten, there is still plenty of time. Jerry is accustomed to planning everything out. If there is an accident, it is preferable to board the train a bit early rather than cause a delay.
He entered the station easily, holding the ticket Professor McGonagall had given him, and then used the directional signs to identify the wall separating the ninth platform from the tenth platform.
"The legendary Platform Nine and Three Quarters is here."
Jerry realized he must have chosen the proper spot when he noticed that every passenger in the area would unconsciously avoid it as they passed the overturned wall while standing in front of it.
Instead of rushing in like in the movie, he cautiously moved closer to the wall while pushing the trolley.
Why was it necessary to run it through it? Wouldn't you have to run into a sack with your head if you made a mistake? It's not like you won't be able to get in if you walk slowly. You too can have this unique sensation of going through the wall.
The little cart brushed against the tipped wall as though touching the air and sank in easily.
"Is this really an illusion or some sort of space magic?" Jerry experienced a certain amount of hesitation in his heart as he guided Crookshanks in pushing the trolley through the wall.
It was space wizardry, he claimed. He didn't feel as confined in space as he did when teleporting alongside Professor McGonagall. Although he claimed that it was only an illusion, it didn't feel that comparable.
Shaking his head, he remarks that he has just recently come into contact with magic and that a question of this magnitude is plainly beyond his comprehension.
A five-meter-long wrought iron archway emerged in front of my eyes after breaking through the wall. The top of the archway has the words "Platform Nine and Three-quarters" etched on it.
As he continued to push the trolley ahead, he could see the magical wizard platform slowly unfolding in front of him.
The first item that stood out was a large sign that read "Hogwarts Express" hanging from the side of a beautiful scarlet steam train.
The open area next to the steam train was crammed with wizards dressed in robes and other mystical animals. He could hear a variety of farewells and exhortations as he moved through the dense gathering.
Jerry quickly discovered a carriage that was just a little empty. Since he arrived earlier, most of the carriages still had a good number of open seats.
He nonchalantly opened the door of an empty carriage that was there, cleaned it up, activated the "Refreshing" ability, picked up the "Magic Potion and Potion" book and read it.
Jerry committed a month to learning magic theory and spells in order to deal with the four thieves' crisis. He also needs to preview additional textbooks before the start of the school year now that the emergency is over.
Aside from all the weird spells in the "Harry Potter" magical universe, he thought potions were the most practical. a mixture that can fully transform a person into a different person.
The strongest potion that makes the user have to constantly speak the truth about anything is called a "Veritaserum," which makes the user feel compelled to do so.
When used in the Marvel universe, these will unquestionably be incredibly useful. Jerry is still highly anxious about Potions as a result.
Additionally, the cost of effective potions is also exorbitant. In the wizarding realm, it may be argued that in general you won't be short of money if you learn how to make potions well and eventually become a master brewer.
One can appreciate the significance of understanding Potions well by taking a look at Lupine and Snape. Lupin and Snape are on the same strength level, with Lupine's strength not much inferior to Snape's.
In terms of background, Snape's father was a Muggle, or a Muggle who was an alcoholic, abrasive, and prone to domestic violence, but Lupin's father was an official working for the Ministry of Magic.
——
The number of wizards aboard the carriage rapidly grew as time went on.
After reading "Magic Potion and Potion" for 30 minutes, Jerry turned off the "Refreshing" feature, put Since activating the "Refreshing" ability places a significant cognitive load on him, he typically activates it for 30 minutes before waiting one to two hours to prevent falling asleep instantly again. Restore before switching it back on.
While not the most effective approach, this one is the safest.
The most effective technique is to turn it on for a half-hour, go into deep sleep for a half-hour, turn it on for another half-hour, go into deep sleep for a half-hour, and so on.
But as soon as he entered a deep sleep, he became completely defenseless. Second, he really doesn't have enough of a red star to utilize it every time.
It can be on for twelve hours a day if it is turned on for one red star each minute; if it is on for twelve hours a day, it will consume 720 red stars. He must consume 100 per day in the "Harry Potter" world out of a total of over 6,000. He must leave if he doesn't have any more stars.
The point is that even with "Refreshing" on, the efficiency is quite poor if you only use for self-study. He intends to use red star as much as possible to preserve his days and use it sparingly to aid his memory and comprehension only when absolutely necessary for learning.
There will be a one-month cooling-off period after every exit from this world if you decide to come back.
He can learn as much magic knowledge as possible in the small world and store it in his brain. When he returns to the cool-down period, he can find a way to earn a little red star, and then turn on "Refreshing" to summarize his comprehension.

"Jerry?" Jerry had been sleeping for perhaps ten minutes when suddenly, from nearby, a happily surprised voice could be heard.
He opened his eyes gradually, turned his head, and took a glance outside the box. A little child with fluffy hair, dressed simply in trousers and a knit sweater, was standing in the aisle dragging large leather luggage while looking slightly astonished. It was Hermione Granger whom he met in Diagon Alley.
"Ms. Granger, we meet again!"
Jerry grinned and gave Hermione a warm welcome before standing and approaching to collect the box. "There are still vacant seats here. Please sit!"
"Thanks!" Hermione hurriedly thanked Jerry as she watched him assist her in placing the hefty suitcase on the shelf above the box.
She left her parents as a young wizard raised in a Muggle family and entered the enigmatic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to pursue her studies on her alone. Hermione gave off the impression that she was a strong girl, and she frequently even adopted a slightly haughty demeanor to hide it.
After all, she is just eleven years old. She will turn twelve in 18 days, but for now, she is still just a young girl living on her own.
Her anxious heart instantly calmed down when she encountered the lone wizard her age on the train to Hogwarts at this hour.
Hermione had few friends while attending Hogwarts and hardly any friends while attending a Muggle elementary school due to her haughty nature and stellar academic achievements.
She presently only feels that she can be friends with Jerry and that she doesn't despise herself.
"Is that your pet? wow, it's so gorgeous!" Hermione sat down, and her eyes lit up when she noticed the snoring Crookshanks in the seat. As if she had seen the cat of her dreams.
"Pretty, yes?" Jerry twitched as he cast a quick glimpse at Crookshanks' persimmon face, which appeared to have collided with a wall.
He must admit that Crookshanks is an excellent cat with excellent self-care skills. Jerry scarcely has anything to worry about. The majority of the time, he can even resolve the issue of eating alone, and occasionally, he will give Jerry a small amount.
But Jerry disagrees if you think it is pretty. One can only conclude that people that like the Bull Terrier, the Chihuahua, and the Cornish Rex cat, do not all have the same aesthetic tastes.
Despite the fact that most people think these animals are unattractive, many people nevertheless find them to be incredibly attractive. There is nothing he can do if Hermione truly likes Crookshanks looks.
Jerry handed the dozing Crookshanks to Hermione. Quickly and carefully, Hermione grabbed it in her arms and hugged it.
Crookshanks shook his whiskers in displeasure, but when he sensed Hermione's heart was filled with affection for him, he went back to sleep contentedly.
"Just refer to me as Hermione. I didn't have any extra cash to spend on pets since when I purchased books at the bookstore, I also purchased a large number of magic books and the required textbooks." Hermione replied with some regret while stroking Crookshanks.
"Ah, typical."
Hermione possesses not only the talent that typical wizards cannot match, but also the diligence and perseverance that the majority of wizards her age lack.
"So Hermione, you must have studied magic extensively beforehand?" Jerry's tone contained a hint of adoration.
Hermione cocked her chin with pride and said, "Of course, I not only memorized all the first-grade textbooks, but also tried a few spells at home, and all of them worked, and I also finished reading "Modern History of Magic," "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic," and "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century."
"Wow, what a little genius you are!" Hearing this, Jerry couldn't help but express his respect.
He didn't mean it as sarcasm. Rather, it was a heartfelt praise. Without mentioning additional things, learning all the textbooks in a month is quite equivalent to this memory.
Jerry also learned the texts for the four courses, but the "Refreshing" ability was the main reason for this.
You must be aware that it was not an easy task to review and recite the classical and ancient poems that you had learned in the previous semester when you were in school. This was true even during the two months of summer vacation, in addition to previewing and memorizing textbooks for the upcoming semester.
Hermione was ecstatic in her heart to get two compliments from Jerry, but her little face also became somewhat flushed.
Hermione's appearance caused Jerry to stop closing his eyes and instead engage in a pleasant conversation. Of course, the majority of the conversation revolves around the many forms of magic knowledge found in textbooks.
Jerry memorized all the books, including "Magic Theory" and "Standard Spells, Elementary," and learned all the first-grade spells in them, despite using the "Refreshing" ability. It probably uses it more skillfully than Hermione.
As if a modern person has discovered an ancient book that was entirely written in an ancient language. He memorized every word in it, but he can fairly guess from his comprehension what kind of story it is telling.
However, it actually indicates that you comprehend the main idea of it. You won't be able to comprehend many aspects at all if you don't have an expert to lead and explain you through them.
Additionally, even after reading a book with identical content, different readers may not comprehend it exactly the same way.
In "Journey to the West," for instance, some people read the adventure tale about Xuanzang and his four disciples traveling to the west to study Buddhist texts while others read about a spirit that dared to defy the restraints of the feudal system.
The sage's calculations using the heavens and the earth as the chessboard and everything as a chess piece, as well as the sophistication of a world where "every sentence is a matter of gods and immortals in heaven, but utilitarianism and secular heart can be seen everywhere," were what some people saw.
Some only observed monkeys and a variety of stunning female fairies and queens. As a result, in order to embrace all rivers and advance together, it is essential that people interact and learn from one another.
With Hermione's talent, she learned most of the spells on her own and devoured numerous magic books in the month leading up to the start of school. She must have special views on the magic of her own. There would be no gains if he didn't talk to her.
Jerry took the initiative to invite Hermione to sit in his room right now for this reason.

Hermione quickly realized during the conversation that she and Jerry shared a similar kind of personality. He didn't memorize as many books as he did, but he was well-knowledgeable about numerous spells and magic theories.
She became intrigued right away and, at the same time, her heart began to identify Jerry even more.
In addition to becoming more animated and fascinated as they talked more, Jerry and Hermione also became more animated. Before Jerry knew it, the Hogwarts Express had already departed the station without his knowledge.
"You… Hello, is anyone around here? The other spots are occupied."
The conversation between Jerry and Hermione was suddenly cut short by a stammering voice.
A round-faced, chubby little wizard was dragging the bag in the private room while carrying a golden-backed toad in his left hand. He occasionally cast a quick peek at the vacant seat next to Jerry and Hermione.
"No one, please take a seat across from us." Jerry smiled as he answered.
As soon as the toad was in his arms, the child happily shoved the suitcase to the corner of the box and sat down.
"Neville Longbottom is my name, and I'm a freshman this year. Call me Neville if you want!" The boy sat down and hesitantly introduced himself.
"Jerry Carmen!"
"Hermione Granger!"
Jerry and Hermione exchanged glances. They smiled and introduced themselves at the same moment since they noticed that the boy across from them was a little uneasy. The child eventually calmed and joined Jerry and Hermione's conversation after perhaps sensing the friendliness in their tone.
However, as Neville hadn't yet given a preview of the textbook, the three of them diverted their conversation from magic to their individual births and upbringings at this point. Neville seemed a little nervous and less reserved when talking about his family.
"My grandmother raised me, yet for a very long time, my family has always thought of me as a Muggle. My Uncle Algie often tries to take advantage of people's gullibility and will use whatever strategy to make me demonstrate my magic…"
Neville then described his horrible experiences, including being tossed from an upper floor and nearly dying, as well as being thrown into the Black Lake by his uncle Algie.
Hearing Jerry and Hermione, it's clear that pure-blood magical family elders are something else.
Actually, Jerry is aware that Neville's parents appear to be both Aurors. They were taken prisoner by Death Eaters during the First Wizarding War, and they used the Cruciatus Curse to torment them until they went insane.
Neville, who was only a year old, was put under a "Forgetting Curse" by his grandmother to help him forget the horrifying vision of his parents being tortured. Neville may have been too young when the Forgetting Curse was cast, which led to undesirable repercussions. He has a damaged mind and has become incredibly forgetful.
By the way, can a one-year-old really remember things?
Neville's parents are both Aurors (policemen in the wizarding world), who have attacked Voldemort at least three times, and Neville was also born in July, according to rumors Jerry has heard. Neville was also born in July.
It was able to employ magic to tighten the blanket around itself, even as a newborn.
Neville's magic talent might not be worse than Voldemort's if it weren't for the harm the "Forgetting Curse" can inflict on the mind and the difficulty in smoothly regulating the magic force in the body.
However, Jerry doesn't genuinely consider these to be major issues. Whoever is the son of prophecy doesn't matter to him. The issue he must take into consideration is how to seek advantages and build up his personal strength through the way the overall narrative progresses.
Hermione started chatting about numerous anecdotes about her childhood before obtaining the admission letter and the changes after receiving the acceptance letter when Neville finished speaking.
Hermione is a normal Muggle who doesn't understand magic, unlike Neville who was born into a family of pure-blood wizards. Her parents are both dentists, and she lives in the suburbs of London.
Hermione may have felt the need to prove herself constantly because she was not from a wizarding family. Her upbringing was actually very joyful because becoming a dentist pays well and her family also comes from a happy, peaceful household.
They both looked at Jerry simultaneously after finishing their sentences.
After a brief moment of shock, Jerry reacted and remarked, "I'm an orphan. Since I was a little child, I've been abandoned at an orphanage. I had no idea if my parents were Muggles or wizards. Prior to receiving the Hogwarts acceptance letter, I was unaware that magic existed."
"Orphan?" Looking at Jerry, Neville and Hermione gradually expressed pity.
Despite the fact that Neville's parents are both in the hospital, he is still loved by his grandmother, uncle, and aunt, and he hasn't experienced a lot of hardship since he was a youngster.
Hermione was an only child who was born into a Muggle family. Since she was a little child, she had always been the family's prize possession, and her upbringing was not unhappy.
Jerry, on the other hand, is in fact a little bit miserable in this world.
"I didn't expect that your life would have been so awful, but you are still able to face life with a grin, and you are so upbeat and optimistic. You're truly brave and strong." She said.
Hermione observed that Jerry didn't display any sign of sadness or unease while discussing his life experiences. Instead, he demonstrated openness and carelessness about everything. She immediately experienced appreciation and sympathy in her heart.
"Honey, do you want to buy something to eat?"
There was a loud clicking sound coming from the aisle just then. Then the door to their room was pushed open by a smiling, dimpled woman. It turned out that the three of them were engaging in a lively conversation, and before they knew it, it was past noon.
The three of them began to feel queasy as they stared at the assortment of goodies on the trolley.
"A chocolate frog, please!" Neville was the first to rise and sprint for the cart.
Jerry and Hermione both stood up at the same time and immediately started pulling items from the trolley. In the end, Jerry requested three pieces of pumpkin pie and a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, while Hermione simply accepted a cauldron cake. Neville returned to his seat with a collection of chocolate frogs.
Jerry received an annual allowance from Hogwarts of one hundred gold galleons. There were four or five gold galleons left after purchasing all the basics, which was sufficient to cover his daily costs for a full year. You should be aware that Hogwarts offers free food and housing as well as inexpensive magical treats.
Three pumpkin pies, a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, plus three silver sickles and fifteen copper knuts were all Jerry needed.
He consumed the three pieces of pumpkin pie on his own to sate his hunger. He still favors pumpkin pie over the snacks when it comes to eating. He intends to keep the box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and give it to his sister Aisha when he gets home.
The popular product of the World Jelly Bean Company, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, is believed to offer more than 700 distinct flavors.
From common flavors such as chocolate, strawberry thin, mint candy, and orange marmalade, to special flavors such as spinach, pork liver, and tripe, as well as heavy flavors of vomiting, earwax, and snot.
Presumably, his sister must like this magical snack very much.

Neville extended his hand to catch the jumping chocolate frog from the box before he took it in his large teeth, bit off its head in one swift motion, chewed it up, and sucked it into his stomach.
While watching Neville eat chocolate frogs while lying next to him, the golden-backed toad shuddered gently, turned around, and stealthily jumped off the seat, almost disappeared.
"Neville, you seem to really enjoy chocolate frogs."
As Hermione consumed the cake in her hand, she couldn't help but wonder as she saw Neville consume six chocolate frogs in a row.
"Although I don't particularly enjoy it, it does have images of well-known wizards. I already have them collected. I wonder what I should do. I lost track of how many photos I had accumulated, as well as the ones I still lacked!"
Neville presented the two of them with a picture that he had taken out of the box. Just as he was about to finish, he began to feel depressed.
Indeed, anyone of any age or nation can benefit greatly from this concoction of blind box opening and collecting compulsion, and wizards are not an exception.
He recalled that when he was a child in his former existence, he appeared to have very little pocket money, but Jerry bought snacks anyways. He didn't really enjoy eating them. Instead, he was really interested in the 108 Cards they contained. Despite the fact that they weren't gathered till the end.
He shook his brain to stop the flashback and Hermione and he both turned to see the photograph on the table. He saw that the image depicted an elderly man whose white beard and hair gave away his obvious advanced age.
The elderly man wears a purple magician's robe, half-moon glasses, and a long, crooked nose. He seems to be extremely nice.
Under the image, a name was written: Albus Dumbledore.
"It's actually Dumbledore!" Hermione was surprised when she saw the name.
The card featured a number of introductions to Dumbledore as Jerry raised his hand and turned it over.
The present headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, is acknowledged as the greatest wizard of all time.
Among Dumbledore's most well-known accomplishments are: Professor Dumbledore is a fan of ten-pin bowling and music. He defeated the wizard Grindelwald in 1945 and, with his partner Nicolas Flamel, discovered twelve uses for dragon blood in alchemy.
"Grindelwald undoubtedly finds it challenging to defeat him in 1945,"
Jerry knows Dumbledore and Grindelwald are passionate lovers because he has seen "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." When you turn the card over again, you'll notice that the image of Dumbledore on the front has vanished, possibly visiting other cards.
"Neville, in the future, eat fewer chocolate frogs!" Neville was still attempting to recall how many images he had gathered when Jerry turned his attention to him and gently reminded him.
"Because it's simple to get obese from eating too much chocolate, and you might never finish collecting all the images." Jerry took a quick look at Neville's fat frame.
"Have you chosen which house to go to, by the way?"
Hermione appeared to think of something after seeing Dumbledore's photo and grew emotional all of a sudden.
She muttered, before Jerry and Neville could respond, "I'm hoping to be put in Gryffindor. It is regarded as the best by all. Although Dumbledore himself is said to have graduated from there, I don't think Ravenclaw is all that horrible."
After Hermione babbled about science, Neville finally mustered up the courage to raise his hand, "I also hope it's Gryffindor, because grandma said my parents are all Gryffindors!"
"Jerry, what about you? Which house do you want?" After hearing Neville's answer, Hermione immediately nodded in agreement, and then turned her gaze to Jerry.
Jerry hesitated for a moment, and finally replied with a smile, "Gryffindor!"
After thinking for so long, Jerry has gradually made up his mind about the branching. Originally, he thought it would be best to be Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff so that he could learn magic and improve himself quietly without any danger.
But after giving it some thought, he realizes that he is severely deficient in red stars, and because he can obtain them here, it makes sense for him to join a house that enjoys causing trouble. Even though she is a little more serious than the other Gryffindor deans, Professor McGonagall is a really kind person, and Harry had a great impression of her the last time they met.
His academic performance will naturally be good as long as he makes good use of the "Refreshing" ability in the latter stages, and he may be able to approach Professor McGonagall for a little assistance.
Professor McGonagall gave Hermione "Time Turner" to help her learn, much like in the third year.
The key is that he needs a solid broomstick for his upcoming comeback. He really isn't very effective at earning small red stars in the Marvel universe without a suitable mode of transportation.
He can follow the storyline of the first book, stop Harry from getting the memory ball, and impress Professor McGonagall with a wave of beautiful operations by entering Gryffindor.
In return, Professor McGonagall will provide Harry with a Nimbus 2000 out of her own money and allow him to join the Gryffindor team. The world's fastest broomstick is now freely available as a result.
There is no need to worry about whether his broomstick skills would falter.
What is the test of the Quidditch game? Is it the body's amount of magic power? Does it have a lot of magic knowledge at your disposal?
Of course not. How could Harry, who had just started school and had no prior magic experience, be seen as an extraordinary entry? The capacity of the body to respond quickly and with coordination is what the Quidditch game really tests.
The most crucial factors are hence physical fitness and the sharp five senses.
In truth, a wizard who excels in combat requires not only strong magic skills but also specific skills in physical fitness, quick thinking, and other factors.
Hermione edged Harry out by a few blocks in both the usage and knowledge of magic as well as in terms of learning capacity. Harry actually has considerably greater martial skills than Hermione does.
The fact that Jerry is physically active and has keen five senses makes up for Hermione's less-than-ideal broomstick instruction, which allowed Harry to join the Quidditch team as soon as classes began.
The five senses and the body instantly attain their maximum potential with the use of "Refreshing" ability as long as he can command the broomstick to take flight. Jerry will have the confidence to defeat the others, even the best Quidditch players easily, let alone the gifted Harry.

He will be able to personally assist Gryffindor in achieving Professor McGonagall's goal of defeating Slytherin in the Quidditch match after he receives the Nimbus 2000 for free. You should be aware that the Gryffindor squad didn't actually take home the Quidditch trophy until Harry was in his third year, as stated in the book.
Because he stopped Voldemort from stealing the Sorcerer's Stone in his first year, Harry spent some time in the school infirmary. As a result, he missed the game versus Ravenclaw, which resulted in the Gryffindor team's final devastating loss.
Because the Chamber of Secrets was opened in the second year, the Quidditch match was immediately canceled.
The Gryffindor team didn't actually beat the other three houses and take home the Quidditch Cup at Hogwarts until the third year. He decided that enrolling in Gryffindor was the best move for him right now after giving it some more thought.
Gryffindor will be decided at tonight's sorting ceremony.
Hermione's face lit up with joy as she learned that Jerry shared her interest in Gryffindor. She should wish to study in the same house as Jerry, who is such a unique and ideal companion.
"Trevor? Trevor! where have you been? Trevor has left me once more!" Hermione was startled when Neville, who was on the other side, suddenly let out a fear.
"Neville, what's wrong? Trevor? What's the matter with you?"
Hermione swiftly stood up and inquired after seeing Neville sobbing and looking for something on the ground. After looking around, Neville eventually collapsed on the ground and sobbed.
"The toad my uncle got for me as a thank-you for allowing me to attend Hogwarts is my Trevor. It was constantly attempting to get away from me, and now it's gone!"
"Neville, cheer up! I'll help you discover it with Jerry!"
Hermione was a little haughty, but she had a lot of heart and was a very good person. She drew Jerry over as soon as she saw Neville sobbing, comforting her.
"Neville, relax. The train is only this big, and since your toad is unable to fly, he cannot escape the vehicle. He must thus be hiding in a nearby room. We'll quickly find it if we ask each question in turn!"
Jerry could only shrug his shoulders in consolation because Hermione had already spoken while also knowing that Neville's toad could not be lost. Neville finally stopped crying after hearing the two provide consolation and got up from the ground.
"We must be getting close to the station. Let's get dressed in our school clothes and then go look for Trevor."
Jerry pulled the two large pieces of luggage belonging to him and Hermione from the shelf as he stared out the window at the fields going by and the steadily fading sky. The three eventually changed into fresh Hogwarts robes and left the space.
Jerry, take a look there while I take Neville and take a peek here.
Hermione greeted Jerry in the aisle before directing Neville to inquire in one room after another on the right, leaving Jerry with no choice but to turn around and begin looking to the left.
"Just picture getting a red star as a prize!"
One or two red stars are typically awarded for such a task of assisting others in finding missing stuff.
"It's incredibly difficult to find this little thing!"
Jerry searched every box on the left after waiting for twenty minutes, but he was still unable to locate Trevor.
On this journey, he did see a lot of magicians with well-known names, though. For instance, Marcus Flint, the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, George and Fred, who are so like to one another that even their mother Mrs. Molly has trouble telling them apart.
"Crookshanks?" Jerry had just opened the door to the room he was previously in when he noticed Crookshanks prodding Trevor.
As Jerry and the other three went from room to room looking for Trevor, Crookshanks was also assisting and quickly discovered Trevor in a concealed area of the train.
At this point, in the private room, Crookshanks used his claws to knock Trevor back to the original location in an effort to keep him from escaping once more.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
Trevor kept attempting to jump up and run away, but the wand was pointing at him, and a floating spell lifted him into the air.
Crookshanks was given some of the small dried fish that Jerry had previously taken from the orphanage and was fed as a reward by Jerry after he scooped him up and gave it two gentle strokes.
"Let me take you to Neville. He's in a hurry!"
After lifting the levitation spell, Jerry grabbed Trevor, left the room again, and walked towards the direction where Hermione and Neville had just left on the right side of the train.
Perhaps because he heard that he was going to find Neville, Trevor's legs immediately started kicking wildly, struggling violently in Jerry's hands. Seeing this, Jerry frowned, stopped and, lifted Trevor, and narrowed his eyes.
"Braised toad, dry pot toad, garlic toad, flavored toad, boiled toad… I like to eat toad meat the most, and then make various medicinal materials from the peeled toad skin…"
Trevor's frog body shook, and he immediately retracted the legs and put them under the stomach, and began to tremble. Seeing that Trevor was no longer struggling, Jerry nodded in satisfaction and continued to look for Neville and Hermione.
What he said just now was just to frighten Trevor. Trevor's appearance is the same as the toad that was common in his hometown in his previous life. Who would eat a toad covered in pimples?
However, if it was a bullfrog, then he would have to think about it. After all, Bullfrog is really delicious.
"Neville, your Trevor!"
After walking through for a moment, Jerry quickly saw Neville and Hermione walking back, so he waved to Neville with Trevor's legs.
"Thank you Merlin, thank you Jerry. My Trevor!" Seeing Trevor, Neville immediately stretched out his arms and ran towards Jerry in ecstasy.
"You have to thank Crookshanks. It's him who helped you find Trevor!" Jerry smiled and handed Trevor to Neville.
"Crookshanks is really dependable!"
At this time, Hermione also followed, and said to Jerry a little proudly, "Jerry, guess who I just saw?"
"Who?" With a twitch in Jerry's heart, he already had the answer.
"Harry, Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived, the Harry Potter who defeated the Dark Lord when he was born!" Hermione looked a little excited.
"Harry Potter?" Jerry pretended to be puzzled.
"The Rise and Fall of Black Magic, Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century, and Modern History of Magic all mention it. Oh, I forgot that you haven't read the extracurricular books I bought."
Hermione realized that Jerry wasn't from a wizarding family like she was, and he hadn't studied as many books on wizarding history as she had.
"Let's go there and get to know each other." He didn't anticipate Hermione to be as composed when she first saw Harry in the movie. She was a bit excited, just like other young wizards.
It seems that Harry Potter's name is indeed very influential in the wizarding world.

"No problem, I enjoy making new friends." Jerry did not object.
Making friends with Harry beforehand looks like a wise decision now that he has chosen to enroll in Gryffindor. You should know that Dumbledore values Harry the highest out of all the students at Hogwarts since he sees him as the school's future savior. A good relationship with Harry is definitely a plus for Dumbledore.
Additionally, Hogwarts may only accept a certain number of students each year, and even fewer are split among the four houses. Maybe Harry and he will be assigned to the same house at night.
"He's in the front room, so let's go!" Hermione pulled Jerry and Neville as she made her way around the carriage.
However, there were sounds of argument coming from within as they approached Harry's room's door and were about to open it.
"If you don't behave better, you'll follow in your parent's footsteps. They are unsure of what to do. You'll become like them if you associate with questionable individuals like the Weasleys or Hagrid."
"Pardon?"
"Oh, I see—are you guys fighting right now?"
Jerry peered inside as Hermione opened the door and approached from the front. Instead of the two guys Hermione had just mentioned in the room, five boys were now facing up against one another.
One of them, a young man with glasses, black hair, green eyes, and a scar from lightning on his forehead, was standing beside the bench. Of course, that's Harry. It was unmistakably Ron who was the boy standing next to Harry and sporting the Weasley family's signature red hair and blue eyes.
Jerry immediately exhibited a look of uncertainty when he turned to gaze at the three people standing across from them.
A young man with light-colored hair and a face resembling a melon was followed by two children. Why does this group resemble Draco's trio, Harry Potter's archenemy, in some ways?
He failed to recall that the trio bothered Harry and Ron on the train in the film, though. What took place? Is it because it's been so long that he can't recall specifically, or was there a butterfly effect because of his appearance, or is there some other reason he doesn't know?
"What are you guys doing? Are you guys fighting? Before you even get to school, you're going to stir trouble!" Hermione, who was moving ahead of the three of them, had a serious expression on her face as she examined the situation within the box.
"Three additional assistants are present. Do you believe having more people would be beneficial?"
Draco's composed demeanor somewhat shifted when he noticed Jerry's gang approaching the door. Goyle and Crabbe moved in front of him as he took a step back.
Goyle and Crabbe, who was a head taller than them, evidently didn't notice them because they moved forward angrily. Harry and Ron were halted by one, while Hermione, Jerry, and Neville were stopped by the other.
Hermione's body stiffened up unconsciously as she saw Crabbe approaching the door. Jerry momentarily set aside his position when he noticed this and reached out to draw Hermione behind him.
"We don't want to fight, but this doesn't seem to be your room."
"Yes, you are not welcome here. Please leave."
On the other side, Harry bravely replied loudly in response to Jerry's statements, despite his slight fear of Goyle's presence.
"But Goyle and Crabbe, do we really want to go? We've consumed every last bit of food, yet you appear to have a lot here. After we finish eating, we'll depart!"
Draco, who was at the center, smirked at Goyle and Crabbe while pointing to the assortment of food that was strewn around the table in the room.
Goyle and Crabbe realized this right away. Goyle withdrew the frail Harry with his left hand while reaching greedily with his right for the goodies on the table.
It appeared as though Crabbe wanted to simultaneously throw Jerry, Hermione, and Neville behind him to the ground as he raised his fists and pushed them at Jerry, who was standing at the door.
"Argh!" At the same time, there were two screams heard in the room.
However, Goyle and Crabbe, not Harry and Jerry, were the ones who were making the sound. It turned out that Ron's pet Scabbers, who was hiding in the goodies, sprung out when Goyle reached out to take them and bit Goyle's finger.
Jerry could see Crabbe reaching out to push him from the opposite side while also holding out his hands with a scowl on his face.
He interlaced his fingers with Crabbe instead of trying to out-power him physically, and when Crabbe was dazed, his wrist abruptly exerted force, causing him to fall to his knees. Jerry pressed firmly on Crabbe's fingers at the same time, and tears of pain flowed instantly.
The body of a wizard differs from that of a normal person, and when Jerry makes that maneuver, he doesn't show much mercy, which causes Crabbe to cry.
"Don't go just yet you!" Draco and Goyle, who had recovered from the spots, frantically sought to flee from him.
Jerry grinned. He first knocked Goyle to the ground and put his right foot down with a hook before grabbing Draco by the hand with the gold wire. So, a similar scene took place in the space.
Jerry's right hand pulled Draco's arm to his back, crushing him so violently that he was unable to stand, and he trod on it and knocked out a tooth. Crabbe collapsed to the ground in sobs as a result of Jerry's left hand squeezing his fingers.
While Hermione and Neville in the room even opened their small jaws and gazed wide-eyed, Harry next to the seat, and Ron, who had taken up Scabbers, just watched together.
Among them, if you want to say which one is the most surprised, it must be Hermione. Because she has been in contact with Jerry the longest, in her eyes, Jerry has always been a polite and gentle boy.
"Why don't you let them go first, Jerry? They appear to be in pain!" Hermione made a cautious suggestion after noticing that all three of them appeared to be crying.
"Oh, really? I appear to be a little more aggressive, which is pretty embarrassing. I actually detest physical conflict the least, but I find it difficult to deal with this one in that way."
When Jerry heard this, he did not reject Hermione's order. Instead, he smiled and explained to Draco before releasing go gradually.
Unfortunately, Draco and the others recoiled in fright to the corner next to the room door after hearing Jerry's justification and seeing his beaming countenance.

"I just stopped you to let you know that using force won't get the issue resolved and that we can instead remain calm and discuss everything."
"Using force to take goodies like you just did is not advised. You are welcome to respectfully borrow some food from these two students if you want to eat some. I think they won't say no as long as you have a good attitude."
Jerry coughed and repeated what he had said, perhaps because he felt a little heavy at the moment.
Then he turned his face to Harry and Ron, "Hey, do you think I'm right?"
After being surprised, Harry and Ron nodded their heads." Look, they would be willing to share some snacks with you if you had a better attitude right now."
In order to be as nice as he could be, Jerry turned his head once more to face the shaky Draco and the three huddled in the room's corner close to the door.
"This year, we are all freshmen, so perhaps we'll go to the same house later. We can shake hands this way and will continue to be excellent friends in the future! What do you say?"
He regarded Jerry with a piercing gaze as he observed him reaching out his hand. The group's faces soon altered, and they stood up, stretching out their right hand to place it on Jerry's hand's back.
After staring at each other after Jerry turned his head to look at them, Harry and Ron likewise moved forward and placed their hands on the object.
"Hermione, join here. Together, we'll create a better friendship!" Jerry beckoned to Hermione and Neville by holding out his free left hand.
Neville, who was equally confused, was dragged along by Hermione as she walked slowly. He hesitated for a second before placing his palm on it.
"All right, let's get together, heart to heart, forget this unpleasantness, learn from each other, advance together, and become the finest business together—no, the best wizards!" He came close to shouting out the company's tagline for a slogan in his prior life.
Jerry grinned as they shook hands and then turned to face Harry and Ron. "My name is Jerry Carmen, by the way."
"Harry Potter."
"Ron Weasley."
Even though Harry and Ron's brains hadn't yet responded, they subconsciously responded.
"In five minutes, the train will arrive at Hogwarts. Please take your luggage on the train. We'll arrive at school in a few moments." An announcement abruptly rang out throughout the train at this point.
"Nice to meet you, but we need to go back to the room to clean up because we are about to arrive at the station. See you later!"
As the station approached, Jerry nodded to the two, motioned for Hermione and Neville to turn around, and then he left the room.
"Jerry, we appreciate your help back then." As the three of them prepared to leave the room, Harry and Ron both simultaneously thanked Jerry after coming to their senses.
"You're welcome. I love persuading people with virtue. After all, we're all classmates." Jerry cocked his head and blinked at Harry and Ron before dragging Hermione and Neville out of the way and leaving them at the room's entrance.
"Can virtue persuade people?"
A row of question marks were above Harry and Ron's heads. Was that merely pious persuasion at work?
—-
"Jerry, are you skilled at fighting?" Hermione entered the room and queried inquisitively as Jerry stuffed Crookshanks into the cat cage.
Hermione appears to be someone who values regulations highly, yet she is also a Gryffindor who will break the law when necessary to protect her friends. In the same way that she stole Professor Snape's ingredients to make Polyjuice Potion, set fire to his clothes, went in search of the Philosopher's Stone with Harry and Ron, and more.
Jerry recently halted on the actions of Draco's group in order to aid Harry and Ron, and Hermione genuinely nodded at that notion. It's just that she was a little curious about why Jerry was so good at fighting.
Jerry rolled his eyes. He feels that he still needs to present a somewhat positive image in front of Hermione because she is the next person and might be the only one who can speak with him and advance his magical development.
"About that…"
Jerry sighed and somewhat dejectedly, "Actually, when I first started fighting, I wasn't very good, but then I gradually adapted to it. You should be aware that I was born in an orphanage, and there…."
Then he made no more comment.
The perceptive Hermione had obviously deduced something from Jerry's expression because there was a sympathetic look in her eyes. No matter how accurate and thorough the deception is, it may occasionally fall short of the other party's own intelligence.
Hermione already had a tragic tale in her head about Jerry, who was abandoned in an orphanage as a baby and was bullied relentlessly as he grew up, honing his fighting techniques as a result.
"It will be okay, Jerry. Don't worry about it." Jerry received a bear hug from Hermione as she moved closer.
"Yes, it will get better." Jerry was unaware of what Hermione had discovered, but he assumed it was a good thing given the circumstances and chose to remain silent.
"We can exit the train now that it has stopped."
Neville, who was standing to the side, lacked Hermione's creativity. From start to finish, he was lost in perplexity. He realized that he wasn't really paying attention to Hermione and Jerry when he saw the train come to a stop.
Wizards started to emerge from the trains one at a time as the train drew near the station, filling the once-vacant aisle. Jerry, Hermione, and Neville had a difficult time squeezing into the mob and exited the train with the shoving and jostling of the crowd.
"First-year freshman! First-year freshman, come here!"
When Jerry, Hermione, and Neville were unable to decide which way to proceed in the crowded platform, a booming voice suddenly rang out from the far left of the platform.
He turned to look and saw a giant shouting at the crowd who was about three or four meters tall, had a beard, and was holding a magic lantern.
"That's Hagrid!" With such a physique, Rubeus Hagrid, sometimes known as the gatekeeper, was already that giant-wizard hybrid at Hogwarts.
After some difficulty, the three of them were able to make their way through the throng and stand next to Hagrid with the other first-year students. Harry, Ron, and the Draco group were also present, but standing apart from Jerry.
Hagrid smiled and spoke briefly to Harry alone before leading the other first-year students down a treacherous path on the station's left side while toting a magic lamp.
"Hermione, you can grab my arm if walking is difficult." Jerry extended his arm when he noticed Hermione wasn't moving with ease.
The wizards had some difficulty walking because the road was exceedingly bumpy and sloped downward.

"You will soon be able to see Hogwarts if you turn around this corner."
Jerry noticed Hagrid, the leader in front, turn back and remind them after approximately twenty minutes of walking. The dense woodlands on each side that had previously obscured their view vanished as they approached the end of the path and made a turn.
Before their sight was a vast, pitch-black lake. A magnificent medieval castle with a sinister air lies peacefully on the steep slope at the edge of the lake. The castle has several piers, and windows flicker against the starry sky.
The castle appeared to be incredibly large, especially in comparison to the lake, leaving Jerry and the other young wizards in awe.
Even if he thought Hogwarts was rather spectacular when he viewed movies in my prior life, it was only a small TV, after all. The key locations you see are unquestionably different from what you experience while you are in the cosmos, just like the universe you watch on television.
To gain more popularity, seeing the beauty in person is very different from viewing them on paper.
Now that Jerry had seen the enigmatic Hogwarts Castle from a distance while standing by the Black Lake, he fully understood why the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is so well-known in the wizarding community.
Every wizard who attended Hogwarts is presumably unable to forget the moment they first set eyes on the school.
"Each boat can hold no more than four passengers."
Hagrid instructed the wizards to board one of the boats with magic lamps that were moored by the lake at this point in order to cross the lake to Hogwarts. The wizards then started to organize into teams and get on the boat.
There are several little boats, therefore it is not necessary for them all to be completely loaded. Jerry, Hermione, and Neville were seated together naturally because many young wizards travel in groups of two or three.
"Come on!" Hagrid, who was alone on the boat, let out a soft drink once all the wizards had united successfully.
All of the little boats carrying wizards quickly and unabatedly sailed towards the direction of Hogwarts, propelled by the lake's waves.
"It's true that there are no oars used in rowing, waves are doing it!" Jerry couldn't help but say it as he observed the boats that were nicely arranged and proceeded forward on their own.
"Jerry, do you know why we have to travel by boat to the castle?" Hermione, who was sitting to the side, asked Jerry at this point with a sudden lift of her diminutive chin.
It appears that Hermione is starting to display her expertise once more in an effort to "show off." Jerry, an adult, only believes that someone is giving him popular science knowledge for free, which might anger people his own age. Isn't this wonderful?
"I truly have no idea." Jerry gave a frank response.
Because he acted that way in the movies, he genuinely didn't understand why the young wizards traveled to Hogwarts by boat. Yet, in the following films, a different method of transportation appeared to have taken its place.
However, he was watching movies at the time, and his entire concentration was on the magic. Who would be interested in using a boat or other form of transportation?
Hermione recovered her composure and started to explain to Jerry after realizing that he wasn't getting it. "The first-year students apparently take the boat to the castle as a sort of inheritance ceremony in honor of the school's founder, as I read in "A Piece of Hogwarts School History"!
"As you can see, the boat has four positions, which stand in for the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the direction we are traveling is the same as the four founders' path to the castle, which they followed!"
"So that is the situation. I've gained so much knowledge from it!"
Jerry learned that this was actually the case after hearing Hermione's explanation, but what shocked him even more was how many extracurricular novels Hermione read in a month of summer vacation.
She is definitely deserving of the title of Miss Know-it-all and is quite challenging to equal.
He was instantly taking in the unique landscape of the lake while listening to Hermione's different science popularizations in his ear. Jerry navigated a small boat across the lake, traveled down a shadowy passageway beneath a cliff, slowed down, and eventually came to a rest at Hogwarts Castle's underground pier.
"Everyone, please follow me now. The castle's entrance is just around the corner!"
Jerry waited for the young wizards to disembark before forming a group to follow behind Hagrid as he moved forward, holding the magic lamp.
They proceeded in this manner for 30 minutes until they reached a level area of wet grassland in the shadow of the castle, where they were met by a large oak door that doubled as the entrance to Hogwarts Castle.
A tall, black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes appeared behind the door after Hagrid banged three times on it. The witch had a stern expression on her face. It was Professor McGonagall, the dean of Gryffindor, who Jerry was familiar with.
"Freshman in my first year, Professor McGonagall."
"I'm grateful, Hagrid. Please allow me to pick you up when you are done."
Hagrid departed first, followed by Professor McGonagall, when Jerry overheard their talk. Everyone entered the castle's foyer on the first floor after crossing the stairs beneath the oak door.
"Woah, it's really big!" Jerry nodded in agreement after hearing Harry and Ron sigh.
Although it is only a corridor, He is unsure if the Extension Charm has made it larger. It appears abnormally roomy, especially the roof, which creates the odd sensation that the end is not immediately visible.
Torches that are burning fill the stone walls surrounding the entrance hall, brilliantly illuminating the space as a whole. A beautiful marble staircase that should lead to the second story is located directly across from it.
From the door on the right side of the lobby, you can barely make out the buzzing voices of hundreds of people. Jerry guessed that the Great Hall on the first level, where the ceremony for sorting will take place later, should be the location.
They are currently being led by Professor McGonagall onto the bluestone tiles that cover the entrance floor.
"Welcome to Hogwarts! Before you take your places in the auditorium for the start-of-school banquet, you must first…"
After extending greetings to the wizards, Professor McGonagall started by providing a general description of the upcoming college cup, the four houses, and the sorting ceremony.
However, she did not go into great detail as to the basis for the sorting ceremonial or the precise method used because these wizards would be aware of it in due course.
After she was done, she instructed the young wizards to straighten up their attire and wait for the sorting ritual before leaving briefly to walk to the Great Hall.

"Hermione, don't worry. The sorting ceremony must go without a hitch because you are so good."
Jerry noticed that once Professor McGonagall was gone. Hermione, who was standing to the side, started to recite the fourteen spells from the textbook continuously. He reassured her in a hushed voice while displaying a frightened appearance.
He was aware that the alleged sorting ceremony was unrelated to magic and spells. It was as simple as donning a hat, and the hat would then ascertain your house affiliation based on your personality and ancestry.
If you fit the requirements for more than one house, you can speak with the Sorting Hat and select the one you prefer. Like in the movie, Harry is a perfect fit for both Gryffindor and Slytherin, but he ultimately decides to join Gryffindor, leading to his sorting into that house.
He was unable to share these details with Hermione. After all, he was unable to explain how he learned the specifics of the sorting ceremony.
"How precisely can they choose which house to put us in?"
"I guess there is a test to pass. Although Fred said it harmed us a lot, I believe he was joking." The exchange between Harry and Ron was heard by Jerry.
He looked more intently. In the room, there were more than forty wizards. The majority of the other wizards, with the exception of a few from pure-blood families like Draco, were just as anxious as Hermione. Because the majority of them believed, as Hermione did for a time, that the sorting ceremony might be decided by testing magic.
They are not Hermione. Actually, the majority of wizards resemble Harry and Ron. Even now, not a single spell has been successfully cast by them.
Despite the fact that children from pure-blood wizarding households, like the Malfoys, may have been exposed to magic sooner than those from Muggle homes, the quantity of magic they possess is not significantly greater.
It appears that this is because the magic blood in the bodies of the wizards will stabilize until they are eleven years old, at which point they will be able to learn how to cast magic, according to the film that Jerry witnessed in his former life.
Children from wizard families and children from regular homes have the same personalities. Few kids in this age bracket, with the exception of Hermione, are eager to calm down and delve into those challenging magical concepts.
Children from wizarding families ought to have access to a larger variety of information. Draco and the others will be aware of the significance of the ceremony.
They merely find the terrified expressions on those young Muggle-born wizards to be quite entertaining. Why even bother to mention it to them?
Regarding Ron and Neville, who share a wizarding family of origin, Ron is affected by George and Fred because they are his brother who loves to make a joke about it. Neville struggles with remembering. He might not recall it even if his grandmother did mention it.
"Aahhh!"
A few screams abruptly broke the tense mood in the room as the young wizards were engrossed in the sorting ceremony's intensity. Jerry looked in the direction the voice was coming from after turning his head.
More than 20 transparent ghosts appeared to enter the room through the wall, fly above the young wizards' heads, and wave at them.
"Come on out and make a row behind me. The sorting ceremony is about to begin!"
At this point, Professor McGonagall returned to the door, and the floating ghosts dissipated by filing into the wall.
"This is a truly amazing sight, I must say."
Jerry and the others formed a line as they awaited Professor McGonagall's entrance into the opulent hall. They couldn't help but be amazed as they saw the situation in the hallway. The hall is magnificently furnished, probably because it is an important opening dinner and sorting ceremony.
The magic chandelier hovering above the auditorium was replaced by tens of thousands of candles that had been cast using the floating spell, lighting up the whole space.
Golden plates and silver goblets gleamed on the four long tables in the hall filled with wizards, but Jerry was most amazed by the hall's ceiling.
If you don't pay close attention, you might assume that the sky above the hall is open because when you look up, you can see the stunning galaxy hanging above.
Jerry paused beneath the podium between the long tables for the four houses and the long tables for the teachers when he noticed Professor McGonagall move a stool and place it on the main stage. She then brought another hat, which was filthy, worn out, and patched.
"It is said that this sorting hat is as old as Hogwarts."
It appears that Godric Gryffindor, the man who founded Hogwarts, originally wore an everyday hat before it became the sorting hat. The four founders later infused it with magic.
Jerry occasionally had the impression that the magic in the "Harry Potter" universe was extremely potent because it allowed him to give autonomous thought and personality to an inanimate object.
Its strength comes from its fundamental idealism rather than from its terrifying destructive power. It's truly miraculous and has no scientific basis.
"You could think that I'm not attractive, but you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I'll eat myself up if you can locate a prettier hat than mine."
A large slit that resembled a mouth opened when the hat spun on the stool and started singing loudly its own unique song.
What's even more absurd is that the hat, after singing, rose up quite politely and made a very beautiful bow in response to the wizards' tremendous applause below.
Have you ever seen a hat bow to you? Definitely not. Jerry saw it for the first time that day. When he viewed a movie in his prior life, he didn't appear to see this part.
"Whoever's name I call now, take a seat on the stool, put on the hat, and wait for the sorting."
"Hannah Abbott." said Professor McGonagall as she moved forward, holding the parchment and carefully opening it.
A little girl with two golden braids and a ruddy complexion walked out of the line. "Ah, Hannah Abbott!"
Jerry finally understood what was wrong as he turned to face the little girl who was sitting on the stool and wearing the sorting hat. It turns out that this is the "Harry Potter" universe described in the books, not the one seen in the movie.
Because he was able to recall with great clarity that Hannah Abbott was the first person to be sorted in the book, whereas Hermione Granger was the first person to be sorted in the movie.
He had read about Hannah Abbott a few times in his previous life. The important thing to remember is that he only sometimes viewed those films on TV in his previous life and didn't go looking for the original book to read.
This…shouldn't…be too much of a distinction between the movie and the original work, right?
