Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 212 Voldemort's Diary (First Update)

After accompanying Hermione and her family to exchange Galleons at Gringotts, the four of them headed to Flourish and Blotts.

Flourish and Blotts is the place Hermione arranged to meet with Ron and the others in her letter.

Because there aren't many other things to buy for second graders, mainly just second-grade textbooks.

Actually, apart from Defense Against the Dark Arts, which has a different textbook every year because of frequent changes in teachers, the textbooks for other courses don't change much.

Jerry had already bought those textbooks beforehand.

Therefore, what he wanted to buy were Lockhart's seven Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks.

Although Lockhart was a complete idiot, much of the content in his seven books was actually quite useful, if you remove the many self-aggrandizing descriptions.

Those stories were based on the personal experiences of some old wizards.

It was a bit pricey, but fortunately, after buying four house-elves, he still had several thousand Galleons left, so he wasn't short of money to buy books.

Me, the One with Magic

As soon as Jerry arrived at the entrance of Flourish and Blotts, he saw the eye-catching banner posted at the door.

"I really hope Mr. Lockhart is innocent!"

Hermione sighed when she saw the banner.

"Then it's probably hopeless!"

Jerry knew that as long as the Ministry of Magic investigated according to the contents of that book, they should be able to confirm Lockhart's guilt very quickly.

The Forgetfulness Curse is not entirely unbreakable; strong external stimuli and the intervention of a master proficient in the Forgetfulness Curse can break its effects.

The Ministry of Magic certainly has no shortage of masters who are proficient in Oblivion Charms.

Moreover, the book contains many detailed things. As long as the investigation is thorough, even if the wizards who were subjected to the Oblivion Curse cannot regain their memories, they can still find enough evidence to prove Lockhart's guilt.

Therefore, from the moment Lockhart was taken to the Ministry of Magic for questioning, it was destined that he would never come out again.

Perhaps, Azkaban will be his final resting place.

The question is, with Lockhart suddenly entering Azkaban, who will be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts?

Should Snape continue teaching? Or should we find a new teacher? If Snape teaches, who will teach Potions? And if we find a new teacher, is it too late?

Of course, these were not his concerns; Dumbledore would naturally find a way to solve them.

"Haven't Harry and Ron arrived yet?"

Hermione peered out onto the street.

Jerry and Hermione had already bought all the books, but Harry and Ron were still nowhere to be seen.

"There are quite a few of them, so something might have delayed them. Let's go buy other supplies first!"

If I remember correctly, Ron's family is always forgetful when they go out, so it's hard for them to leave on time. Also, it's probably not going to go smoothly for Harry's first time using Floo Powder.

"Let's go buy some ink and parchment first!"

Hermione suggested upon hearing this.

Ink and parchment are consumables, and we need to prepare quite a lot of them every semester.

Jerry nodded.

"Hermione, your dad and I are tired, and we don't really know much about the things you want to buy, so we'll wait for you here in the bookstore. You and Jerry go shopping!"

At this moment, Mrs. Granger tugged at her husband's sleeve and said to Hermione with a smile.

"Okay, we'll be right back after we've bought everything!"

Hermione pulled Jerry up, waved to the Grangers, and ran off.

And so the two of them strolled along the winding cobblestone streets of Diagon Alley.

On his way to buy ink and pens, Jerry first bought two ice cream bars.

Whether it was due to his physical condition or because he had spent a lot of time with people his own age like Hermione, Jerry felt that his mindset had become much younger.

The two ate ice cream, strolled through Diagon Alley, and bought school supplies for the next semester. Before they knew it, it was almost noon.

"Harry and the others should have arrived by now!"

Jerry checked the time; he and Hermione had been shopping for almost two hours, and Harry and Ron's family should have arrived by now, no matter how slow they were.

"Oh, really? Then let's go back to Flourish and Blotts!"

Hermione then realized that if Jerry hadn't reminded her, she would have completely forgotten about Harry and Ron.

There's no way around it, being with Jerry is just too comfortable. No matter what she says, Jerry can always respond, and no matter what she wants to do, Jerry seems to know it all.

Moreover, when it comes to things related to magic, Jerry's views always give her a sudden realization, making her understand how magic works and how it can be experienced in this way.

She was shopping and chatting, and didn't even notice how much time had passed.

Carrying their purchases, Jerry and Hermione began their return journey in the direction of Flourish and Blotts.

"What happened?"

When Jerry and Hermione arrived at Flourish and Blotts, they did see Harry and Ron's family, as well as Hagrid, but something seemed to have happened at the bookstore.

The bookshelves in the store were crooked and the books on them were scattered all over the floor. It felt like an accident scene rather than a bookstore.

Moreover, Ron's father, Arthur Weasley's eyes also appeared somewhat swollen.

"Jerry! Hermione!"

Upon seeing Jerry and Hermione appear, Harry and Ron were also pleasantly surprised and immediately ran out.

After the two explained, Jerry finally understood that Harry had mistakenly called "Diagon Alley" "Knockdown Alley" when using Floo Powder, which caused them to miss the bookstore.

The current situation in the bookstore is due to the fight that just happened between Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy inside.

"A fight? That's quite unexpected!"

Jerry didn't remember seeing Arthur and Lucius fight in a movie in his previous life, but it was really exciting to see two powerful wizards wrestling in a bookstore!

"Didn't you see that punch my dad just threw? It was amazing! He made Lucius's nose bleed!"

Ron said excitedly.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to my family!"

At this moment, the Grangers also came to Hermione's side, and everyone introduced themselves to each other.

Arthur was most interested in the Grangers' Muggle identity, and despite his wife Mrs. Weasley using a healing charm on him, he kept asking about the Muggle world.

"This is my younger sister, Ginny, a first-year student this year!"

Ron introduced his sister Ginny to Jerry and Hermione.

"Hello, Ginny!"

Jerry and Hermione greeted Ginny at the same time.

However, Jerry's gaze was not on the cute little girl Ginny, but on the cauldron in her hand.

If nothing goes wrong at this point, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, the notebook containing the soul of Voldemort in his youth, should have already been secretly placed by Lucius in the cauldron in Ginny's hand.

"We have to find a way to get our hands on it!"

A thoughtful look appeared in Jerry's eyes.
