Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 307 The Gap in Space (First Update)

"Let's go! Next stop, Leaky Cauldron!"

Driver Ern Pran shouted and slammed the accelerator to the floor. The magic bus immediately sped up, as if it had reached its top speed without needing to accelerate.

The sudden change from stillness to motion created a strong inertia inside the car, but Jerry's physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. He easily stabilized himself by simply reaching out and grabbing the bedpost next to him.

This made Stan, who was sitting in the armchair in front, sigh. As expected of the best Seeker, his physical reaction speed was something that ordinary wizards could not do.

"This is... spatial magic?"

Once settled, Jerry began to observe the Knight Bus, and soon he noticed something unusual about the vehicle.

The Knight Bus travels at an exceptionally high speed, so fast that even people with poor eyesight may not be able to see the scenery clearly, and it doesn't need to slow down at all.

Because any obstacles such as pedestrians, vehicles, streetlights, mailboxes, and trash cans that the bus encounters will automatically jump aside, and the bus will only return to its original position after it has passed.

Jerry immediately realized that the Knight Bus was using extremely advanced spatial magic while it was in motion; it wasn't actually traveling on a road in reality, but rather through a spatial rift.

All objects blocking the Knight Bus will automatically jump aside. It's not that they actually jump away, but rather that the Knight Bus passes through a spatial rift, making them appear as if they've been squeezed to the sides. In reality, nothing changes.

This is why people couldn't spot the Knight Bus and why it could go so fast.

Furthermore, riding the Knight Bus causes a dizzying sensation similar to Apparition, suggesting that wizards couldn't Apparate the entire Knight Bus.

By studying similar spatial principles, he created a sophisticated spatial magic that allowed the Knight Bus to travel rapidly through spatial rifts.

However, this seems to be different from the movies he saw in his previous life.

Because the Knight Bus in the movie travels on the road and has to avoid pedestrians. If someone blocks the road, it has to stop and wait. If it wants to overtake, it will use spatial magic to shrink the bus and pass through the blockage. It can even slow down the flow of time in the process.

In fact, from the moment Jerry got on the bus until they arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, the Knight Bus did not exhibit any temporal characteristics, and it traveled directly through the spatial rift without needing to dodge anything in its path.

Perhaps this is one of the differences between the original novel and the film adaptation!

In less than two minutes, the Knight Bus covered the distance that a regular car would take an hour to travel, and stopped in front of the Leaky Cauldron.

When Jerry got off the Knight Bus, he was a little disappointed because he hadn't experienced the time magic, but he could still accept it.

After all, the way the Knight Bus moved quickly through spatial rifts had given him a lot of inspiration.

He discovered for the first time that spatial magic could be used in this way.

However, the fact that this new spatial magic was not adopted by wizards as a means of movement likely has significant drawbacks.

Based on Jerry's current understanding of spatial magic, he felt that it was most likely a method of moving directly within spatial rifts, which probably required an extremely tough body.

Just like Apparition, which can be easily severed by space and result in the loss of limbs if not handled properly, this kind of magic that allows movement through spatial rifts is probably too much for ordinary flesh and blood to withstand.

But this wasn't a problem for Jerry.

If he can master this spatial teleportation technique and how to apply it to alchemy, he can use it on the twelve robot soldiers.

Or perhaps when his physical body becomes strong enough, he might be able to directly enter the spatial rift for rapid movement.

Once you get used to it, you can also use it in combat; both are good options.

That's magic—it's full of endless possibilities. As long as you use your imagination and learn enough magical knowledge, many things are possible.

Seeing the Knight Bus disappear into the spatial rift and vanish from reality once more, Jerry ended his thoughts, turned around, and pushed open the door to the familiar Leaky Cauldron.

The Leaky Cauldron was the same as always, but perhaps because school was about to start and many young wizards were starting to shop in Diagon Alley, there were more customers than usual.

"Sirius Black!"

Jerry had just stepped into the Leaky Cauldron and hadn't even had a chance to ask Old Tom at the counter to book a room when he saw a conspicuous wanted poster plastered on a pillar.

The wanted person is Sirius Black, who escaped from Azkaban prison.

"Black is one of Azkaban's most evil Death Eaters. We are doing everything in our power to bring him back to justice, and we have also notified the Muggle Prime Minister to cooperate with our operation. Therefore, we ask the wizarding community to remain calm for the time being."

If you see Sirius Black, please notify the Ministry of Magic immediately. A reward of 10000 Galleons will be given upon his arrest!

The center of the wanted poster features a haggard man with long, messy hair, roaring angrily, and he does indeed look like a fugitive murderer.

Below the animated photo is a description from the Ministry of Magic.

"The Ministry of Magic is really rich!"

Looking at the bounty from the Ministry of Magic on the wanted poster, Jerry had a sudden inspiration and came up with a good idea.

Sirius Black was Harry's godfather, Harry's father's best friend, and a former member of the Order of the Phoenix. He was framed as a Death Eater by Peter Pettigrew and imprisoned.

He escaped from prison because he saw in the newspaper a family photo of Arthur's family winning the lottery, in which Scabbers, the mouse that Starpie transformed into from Animagus, was featured.

Jerry will definitely help Sirius Black who has been framed, but he doesn't intend to waste the 10000 Galleons bounty.

Although he had many precious herbs in his box, he also took the time to practice making potions and produced quite a few high-level potions.

However, those who use them themselves while also selling them can easily disrupt the market and drive down the prices of herbs and potions.

It's important to understand that the sheer number of wizards means their market isn't very large.

Moreover, the 10000 Galleons from the Ministry of Magic were practically free for him; he figured he might as well take it.

Most importantly, if handled well, he could not only get 10000 Galleons for free, but also make his reputation shine again in the wizarding world.

It's a win-win situation.

"Jerry!"

Just as Jerry overcame Sirius's wanted poster and checked into his room at the counter, a surprised voice suddenly came from the stairwell.

"Long time no see, Harry!"

Jerry looked up and greeted Harry, who had grown even taller.
