Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 215 The Learned Jerry (Fourth Update)

"So that's how it is!"

Jerry nodded. No wonder he thought the Weasleys were such a poor family, even though they were a prominent pure-blood family. It turned out that it wasn't just because they had so many children, but also because they had been kicked out of the family.

Indeed, that was the time when pure-blood theory was prevalent. As a member of a pure-blood clan, Arthur's close relationship with Muggles was bound to lead to his rejection, just like Sirius Black's back then.

However, just by looking at the construction of this entire hut, one can see that Arthur's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary; ordinary wizards cannot build such a house with magic.

It seems that Arthur's habit of using alchemy to modify Muggle items has been around for a long time; he used to modify houses, and now he's modifying the more challenging vehicles.

"Jerry, Hermione, Harry, I'm calling George, Fred, and Ginny. Let's go play Quidditch in the back hills!"

In the courtyard of the humble dwelling, Ron caught a goblin that was wreaking havoc in the vegetable garden, then, ignoring its curses, spun it around until it was dizzy and threw it outside the garden.

"Never mind, you guys go ahead, I want to sit in the living room for a while!"

What's so fun about Quidditch? Jerry has absolutely no interest in beating up noobs. Right now, he just wants to get closer to the Weasleys and see if he'll have a chance to ask them about alchemy later.

"All right!"

Ron looked disappointed when he heard that Jerry didn't want to play Quidditch.

Playing alongside a national professional Quidditch player is a great honor, especially since Jerry is a Quidditch legend at his school.

"I'm not going either. You know I'm not good at Quidditch!"

Hermione also declined Ron's offer.

She came to the Burrow mainly because she was interested in the wizard's house, not Quidditch. Quidditch was just as fun at school, and she wasn't good at it anyway; in the past, she had only ever sat on the floor watching Ron and the others play.

Of course, the main reason is that Jerry didn't go.

Ron, a Quidditch fanatic, has his room plastered with posters of the Chadli Cannons (the Irish Quidditch team). Ginny, who started stealing her brothers' flying broomsticks at age six, later became a professional Quidditch player.

Harry and the Weasley brothers are currently both members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

So, the group immediately agreed and excitedly took their flying brooms to the hillside.

Jerry and Hermione returned to the Burrow's living room.

Inside the living room, Arthur and Mr. Granger were discussing some Muggle science, such as how cars can move without magic, what their power source is, and how they specifically work.

Mr. Granger, on the other hand, tried his best to explain with his limited knowledge.

It was 1992, and information didn't spread as quickly as it used to. As a dentist, Mr. Granger only had a superficial understanding of some scientific matters, and he couldn't explain anything too detailed or professional.

Moreover, Arthur's thinking is that of a wizard, and he doesn't know many basic terms, making it even more difficult to explain things to him.

Therefore, there are actually quite a few obstacles in communication between the two.

Sometimes, if you listen carefully, it feels like the two of them are talking at cross purposes.

"Mr. Weasley, Muggles don't have magic, and they can't learn magic. So most of their products actually need to be powered by external forces, primarily electricity, and secondarily by energy sources such as gasoline and oil."

At this moment, Jerry stepped forward and interjected.

Jerry, who lived in the 21st century in his previous life, was reborn into the Marvel world full of advanced technology. His understanding of science is absolutely ahead of its time.

In addition, he is a wizard himself, and he has mastered the magic of three worlds, so his understanding of the essence of magic is much deeper than that of ordinary wizards.

So his intervention instantly made the conversation between Arthur and Mr. Granger flow much more smoothly.

He could translate some of the magic Arthur spoke of to Mr. Granger in a more modern way, or he could explain some of the Muggle knowledge Mr. Granger talked about in a more wizarding way.

The key point is that Jerry is able to go even further and deeper into the interpretation of both, which is quite impressive.

So as they talked, both Arthur and Mr. Granger were amazed at how knowledgeable Jerry was at such a young age.

Hermione, standing to the side, had eyes full of stars.

Hermione admires Lockhart because he is a very learned and accomplished writer with a wealth of experience, and Jerry is behaving in a similar way at this moment.

"Jerry, I only heard from Harry and Ron that you have excellent grades in school, and I know you have an amazing talent for Quidditch, but I never imagined you knew so much about the Muggle world!"

Arthur looked at Jerry with amazement.

Jerry smiled upon hearing this:

"Because I was born in a Muggle orphanage, and I enjoy reading Muggle-related books in my spare time, I personally think that Muggles are very amazing, and their inventions are also very impressive."

After all, they have no magic or spiritual power, yet they are able to create many things that magic cannot. We should acknowledge their excellence, not simply belittle them.

Arthur's eyes lit up immediately:

"Great, Jerry, I really can't believe you were assigned to Slytherin!"

In Arthur's mind, Slytherin wizards have always been arrogant and disdainful of even half-bloods, and they look down on Muggles even more. Very few Slytherin wizards would admit the excellence of Muggles.

"I've always felt that as a Slytherin wizard, one's job is to improve oneself, not to deny the excellence of others. That's why I'm constantly learning about Muggle knowledge!"

Jerry, sitting in the chair, looked exceptionally dazzling.

"By the way, Uncle Arthur, may I ask if you made that big clock in the living room?"

Jerry pointed to the unusually conspicuous large clock in the living room.

The clock in the living room was different from ordinary Muggle clocks. It had no time markings, but instead had nine gold hands, each corresponding to a member of the Weasley family.

The following shows their current status.

For example, behind Percy is "Reading in the Room," behind Ron and Ginny is "Quidditch on the Hill," behind Arthur is "Chatting in the Living Room," and behind Mrs. Weasley is "Cooking in the Kitchen."

"Oh, yes, this is one of my proudest creations over the years. It uses a lot of alchemical techniques and some unorthodox magic."

When the topic turned to living room wall clocks, Arthur immediately became interested and began to explain the principles behind them at length.

Jerry listened with great interest as he translated for Mr. Granger.
