Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 150 Fusion Magic—Fire Dragon Spell! (First Update)

The next day, after dinner, in the bright green Slytherin common room.

Jerry was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace, elegantly flipping through a book he had borrowed from the library, titled "On the Magical Principles of Different Flame Generations".

Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming from the doorway of the common room. Looking up, they saw Daphne, Pansy, and the other Slytherin wizards, all looking excited.

"Jerry, Jerry, you really got a special call-up to the England Quidditch team as the Seeker?"

"Uh, yes, but how did you know?"

Jerry closed the magic book, a slightly surprised look on his face.

"There was a notice just posted on the bulletin board in the Great Hall. It said: 'Celebrating Jerry Carmen, a first-year Slytherin wizard, becoming the Seeker for the English Quidditch team, bringing glory to the school, he is awarded an extra 50 points!'"

At this moment, Pansy, who was next to Daphne, also had a look of excitement in her eyes.

Slytherins value honor above all else, so if Jerry were to be accepted into the National Quidditch Team in his first year, it would be an incredibly honorable thing.

"Well, that's true. After the Quidditch match yesterday, I met with the two Quidditch coaches from England and Scotland in the principal's office."

They all wanted me to be their team's finder, but in the end I chose an English team...

Under persistent questioning from Daphne and the others, Jerry had no choice but to recount the key points of what had happened in the principal's office the day before.

He knew that the school's announcement of his joining the national team was mainly a prelude to his eventual inability to participate in Quidditch matches.

The extra fifty points were just Dumbledore's additional compensation.

When Jerry returned to the dormitory that evening, he could still hear the three members of the Malfoy family inside discussing his selection for the national team, filled with envy.

However, as soon as he entered the dormitory, the three of them immediately shut up.

Because of the Christmas present incident, the relationship between Jerry and the Malfoy trio has been greatly improved, but given the painful memory of the train ride at the beginning, the three of them still feel somewhat uncomfortable when they are with Jerry.

"Oh, right, Draco, I have some good news for you. After I join the national team, I have to quit the school's Quidditch matches according to the rules, so you'll be Slater's Seeker from now on!"

As Jerry walked into the dormitory and lay down on his bed, he smiled and reminded Decola.

"What? I'm Slytherin's Seeker? Is that true?"

Suddenly struck by this immense happiness, Draco immediately ran to Jerry's bedside and excitedly asked again to confirm.

Jerry shook his head, sighed inwardly at the poor kid, and then replied:

"Headmaster Snape told me about it yesterday. He should talk to you about it in the next couple of days. Good luck!"

With Harry in Gryffindor, things are fine this year, since Jerry has already taken care of Gryffindor. But next year, the Slytherin team will be in trouble.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Although Draco is quite skilled at Quidditch, he's always a bit too composed when facing Harry, so it will probably be quite difficult for him to beat Harry.

Of course, the House Cup still belongs to Slytherin, because although Jerry can't participate in the school's Quidditch matches, he can still continue to earn Slytherin credits by attending classes.

Even Dumbledore couldn't change that.

Besides, Harry's academic talent is not as strong as his Seeker talent. Even without Jerry, not counting actual combat, there are quite a few young wizards who can beat Harry in academics.

……

Ever since the announcement was posted in the Great Hall, all the young wizards at Hogwarts knew that Jerry had become the Seeker for the national team.

His popularity soared to its peak, and every time he appeared in public, he became the center of attention.

Even Harry, who is famous for defeating Voldemort, is not as well-known as Jerry.

It took quite some time before things gradually returned to normal.

The sensation caused by Jerry becoming the Seeker for the English Quidditch team at Hogwarts was arguably no less than that of his time at Hogwarts.

The day after he returned, Myer Booth posted the photo of himself with Jerry on the news and shared the same message.

England Quidditch will be changing their Seeker, with the new Seeker being a twelve-year-old wizard from Hogwarts' first year.

This news immediately shocked Quidditch enthusiasts throughout the wizarding world, especially those in Britain.

However, after this news broke, the England Quidditch team and its coach Meyer did not receive much positive feedback; they were mostly met with criticism.

Most people are criticizing Meyer for having his head kicked by a troll, making such an absurd decision to appoint a twelve-year-old wizard who has only been using a flying broomstick for less than a year as the most important Seeker.

In fact, this is normal.

It's like if you're a football fan and you find out that the national team, which plays terribly, has replaced its key player with a junior high school student who has only been playing football for less than a year.

So your first reaction is probably that the national team coach must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. However, you will soon be curious about who this first-year junior high school student is and whether he has some kind of powerful background.

That's how it is outside now, and the scope of its influence is even wider, because in the wizarding world, very few wizards dislike Quidditch; almost all wizards are Quidditch enthusiasts.

Fortunately, these things haven't reached the sacred ground of Hogwarts yet. Reporters and people who want to know about Jerry's situation have been kept out of Hogwarts without Dumbledore's consent.

To most people, Jerry remains a mystery, known only as a first-year wizard at Hogwarts.

And so, about two more months passed.

The originally cold and rainy weather gradually turned sunny, and the young wizards took off the thick sweaters under their wizard robes.

Warm spring has arrived!

For the past two months, Meyer had not informed Jerry about any competitions. Instead, he had FlooPowder take him to Gringotts to open an account and deposited two months' worth of wages into it.

Five hundred a month, a thousand every two months—Jerry now has a full thousand Galleons in his Gringotts account.

For the past two months, Jerry has continued to diligently practice meditation, study various magical principles, and persistently seek guidance on magic from every professor at the school, including Headmaster Dumbledore.

He would occasionally have magical exchanges and discussions with Hermione, because some of Hermione's ideas would always catch his eye.

After two months of continuous effort and experimentation, with the combined blessing of "refreshing" and Merlin's Ring, he finally succeeded in creating his first spell—the Fire Dragon Spell!
