Hogwarts: I will never become the Dark Lord

"Professor, I've done you a favor, shouldn't I get some compensation?"

“Jerry Green, I feel it’s necessary to remind you again, you’re a Slytherin student, not a Gryffindor student!”

Jerry shrugged and replied, "So what? I've given the academy plenty of extra points during class!"

Upon hearing Jerry's reply, Snape's face darkened further. He said coldly, "Fool, do you think you have the right to bargain with me?"

“No, no, no, Professor, this is not bargaining. This is a Slytherin student seeking your help for the highest honor of the house. After all, Gryffindor has a savior this year.”

Faced with Jerry's sophistry and high-sounding words, Snape pondered for a moment and then asked, "Mr. Green, I have a question I've been wanting to ask you. I hope you can think about it carefully before answering me."

"Please tell me! I will definitely think about it carefully."

"Those who make it into Slytherin are usually those who value honor and put victory first. However, I only realized today that you are not like that."

"So, Jerry, can you tell me what you're after?"

Snape's question left Jerry speechless for a moment.

Jerry knew perfectly well what he was pursuing; he was determined to pursue power!

That power that allows him to do whatever he wants.

Since receiving his acceptance letter from Hogwarts, Jerry's mindset has changed, and the appearance of the system has further fueled his growing ambition.

Now that we've arrived in the extraordinary world, who would be content with mediocrity and not want to compete?

Unfulfilled ambition is mere ambition; fulfilled ambition is true ambition.

Snape looked at Jerry, who was deep in thought, and said, "I understand what you're after; you're after power. Therefore, it's not that you don't care about honor, but that you only care about your own honor."

“Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that. The fact that you got into Slytherin shows that you’re an ambitious person. But Jerry, I hope you remember that ambition is not a sin, but a power. You should learn to harness it, not be controlled by it.”

Chapter 34 Night Illusion

"Professor Snape, I... I don't quite understand what you mean?"

Hearing Jerry's words, Snape put his hands on Jerry's shoulders and said seriously, "Jerry, potions and magic are wonderful, but please don't devote all your time to them. There are more precious things around you waiting for you to discover and cherish!"

Jerry was somewhat surprised; he found it hard to believe that these words actually came from Snape's mouth.

In Jerry's mind, this sounded more like something Dumbledore would say.

Jerry certainly understood what Snape meant, but Snape had really misunderstood. They were only eleven years old, not even twelve yet!

Jerry wanted to explain to Snape, but when he saw Snape sit back down dejectedly after speaking and wave him away, he realized Snape was leaving.

Jerry understood that now was not the time to explain to Snape, and it was best to leave first.

……

"Jerry, you're back. What does Professor Snape want with you?"

Hermione noticed that Jerry seemed distracted; he didn't even notice when she handed him the cutlery.

Jerry shook his head without saying a word, took the cutlery from Hermione, and silently began to eat his dinner.

Hermione assumed Jerry was in a bad mood because of Snape, so she handed him the pudding in front of her and said, "Jerry, try this pudding. I saved it especially for you. Ron and the others tried to take it, but I didn't give it to them."

Jerry took the pudding from Hermione, glanced in Snape's direction, and then happily began to eat.

Um! So delicious!

(Become the most powerful and terrifying Dark Lord!!)

After two months of intensive practice, almost all of his spells have reached level two, while the Guardian Charm is still at level one. The difficulty of improving it is much greater than Jerry had imagined, but it will only take a few days.

As for the Killing Curse, as the only third-level curse, Jerry can swear to Merlin's underwear that he has never practiced it even once.

Every morning when Jerry wakes up, he opens his system panel to check. The Killing Curse is like an auto-play program, with its proficiency level increasing rapidly.

This, perhaps, is talent!

Jerry had accumulated fifty draws and, after holding back for two months, he was ready to use them all tonight.

My turn, draw a card!

"Complete set of Chocolate Frog collectible cards"

Jerry looked at the items from his ten-pull and sighed. They were all useless. Among the items was a tech-related item, a charged stun gun: if hit, it would paralyze the entire body and cause the user to fall into a coma.

Jerry tried it out, and the effective range was about 20 meters. It was also almost silent when fired, which was alright. It might have unexpected effects when used for a surprise attack.

Ten more draws!

As the card-drawing animation ended, the entire interface was filled with golden light, and the moment Jerry had been waiting for finally arrived!

Nightfall Appearance: Moves at high speed in the form of a guardian deity, dealing massive magic damage to nearby enemies.

Holy crap, it's real!

Jerry is now incredibly excited. One super spell, plus two doses of the venom of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider—he's struck gold!

Jerry glanced at his system panel, and Nightfall (Lv1, 0.01%) had appeared in his spell bar. He was now eager to try out this new spell as soon as possible.

Jerry didn't use a wand or chant any spells. He simply thought of something, and a dark purple light flashed. In an instant, Jerry's figure disappeared, and in his place appeared a raven spreading its wings.

Jerry felt that his current state was very strange.

After transforming into a raven, Jerry felt no discomfort whatsoever, as if this change was an integral part of his body. When he spread his wings and took flight, it was like an instinctive reaction, perfectly integrated with his usual way of doing things.

He flew to a mirror by the wall and carefully examined his body. His appearance was almost identical to that of his guardian spirit, except that his guardian spirit was silver-white while Jerry's was purplish-black.

When Jerry spread his wings, dark red lightning flashed from between his feathers, like winding electric snakes dancing in the air, releasing powerful energy.

Jerry, like a bolt of lightning, charged towards the four mannequins in the center of the room at incredible speed. As he drew near, he unleashed his full power.

Instantly, a powerful field of lightning energy enveloped all four dummies. Under the influence of this terrifying energy field, the four dummies instantly turned to ashes and vanished completely from this space.

After completing the attack, Jerry exited Guardian mode and returned to his original form.

"Huff~ Huff~" Jerry, sitting on the ground, was panting heavily. Although the magic was really cool and its power was amazing, it had almost exhausted all of his physical strength and magic power.

After a short rest, Jerry tried using Nightfall Manifestation again. Without using lightning attacks, he could maintain the Guardian state for about five minutes.

Although this amount of time is insignificant to Animagus, the attack power of this magic is unmatched by Animagus.

Jerry even began to think that as the level of Night Illusion increased, coupled with the growth of his own magic power, the duration of this spell would definitely be extended.

At that time, Nightfall might replace Animagus form and become one of his battle forms.
