Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 563 The Triumph Tournament (First Update)

"Jerry, thank you for picking us up. Now we don't have to worry about being late!"

Harry, who had already packed his bags, stood in front of the Burrow and saw Jerry and Hermione emerge from the ring of fire, a look of relief spreading across his face.

He had come to understand the Weasley family’s procrastination problem firsthand over the years, and each time he would barely make it before the train was about to depart.

Two days ago, after everyone went shopping together in Diagon Alley, Harry stayed at the Burrow.

On the one hand, he couldn't refuse Madam Molly's enthusiastic invitation, and on the other hand, his godfather Sirius Black was indeed quite busy after being invited by the Ministry of Magic to become an Auror, and really didn't have time to take care of him.

Since the Quidditch World Cup terror incident, the Ministry of Magic has been in chaos.

Sirius Black, as a hero of the First Magical War, is undoubtedly powerful; it's fair to say that most of the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic are no match for him.

Therefore, after he was proven innocent, the Ministry of Magic had been trying to invite him to become an Auror for the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge mainly felt that if Sirius could work at the Ministry of Magic, the damage to the Ministry's reputation could be somewhat made up for.

After all, mistaking a war hero for a Death Eater and imprisoning him in Azkaban for over a decade was a blunder that severely damaged the Ministry of Magic's image.

Sirius Black initially refused, but after learning that suspected remnants of the Death Eaters had appeared and caused chaos at the Quidditch World Cup camp, he, who harbored immense hatred for the Death Eaters, accepted the Ministry of Magic's invitation.

"It's nothing, it's not a problem for me."

Jerry waved to Mrs. Molly, who was tidying upstairs for Ginny, and smiled.

"Jerry, Hermione!"

At that moment, Ron also came out carrying his suitcase.

"Good morning, Ron. Where's Mr. Arthur?"

Jerry asked, somewhat curiously.

As soon as he arrived, he sensed that there was no trace of Arthur's magic in the house, which was quite rare.

"He's too busy. He was called away by his colleagues at the Ministry of Magic early this morning. Apparently, it's because of your portal magic. They need to draft the relevant usage regulations. You know, my dad is very good at this."

Ron shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately understood.

Since that night when he used a massive portal to move the camp's wizards to Diagon Alley, without newspaper announcements, everyone knew that the portal magic was indeed possible and witnessed its practicality.

So his magic book about teleportation sold out the very next day.

During this period, there were indeed some knowledgeable old wizards skilled in spatial magic who, based on their research into Jerry's spellbook, were able to open the same portal.

The British Ministry of Magic, and even the entire International Confederation of Wizards, takes this situation very seriously.

After all, if there are more wizards who can teleport in the future, many things will change, and the scope of the impact will be very wide.

Therefore, while there are still not many people who have this knowledge, they need to discuss and draft the relevant regulations in the shortest possible time.

These things are unimportant to Jerry. No matter what the rules are, they can't possibly prevent him, the inventor, from using the magic he invented.

Let's go!

Seeing Ginny, Mrs. Molly, Charlie, and Bill appear one after another at the door, Jerry opened a portal to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters at King's Cross Station.

In fact, he could have simply opened a portal to Hogwarts Castle.

However, the school rules stipulate that everyone should take the Hogwarts Express to school, and his act of opening a portal was clearly not in accordance with the school rules.

Moreover, he thought it was quite interesting for everyone to take the train to school together.

I might see all of you soon.

Before leaving, Charlie hugged Ginny and then winked at Jerry and the others.

Since Jerry's portal took them directly to the platform, Mrs. Molly, Charlie, and Bill naturally didn't need to go to the station to see them off.

The farewell began right at the entrance of the humble abode.

Why?

Fred and George looked puzzled upon hearing this.

They heard Charlie say yesterday that he was going back to Romania in a couple of days to carry out some kind of dragon-catching operation, so why is he saying this again today?

Charlie, however, gave a mysterious smile:

"You'll find out. Just don't tell Percy I mentioned this... You see, this is top secret information, and it can only be released when the Ministry of Magic deems it appropriate."

"Ah, I really hope I can go back to Hogwarts this year."

Bill stood with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on the train across the portal. His expression was initially wistful, but then a glint of light flashed in his eyes as if he had just remembered something.

"You're going to have a really fun year, I might even take some time off to watch part of it..."

Charlie and Bill spoke evasively, refusing to specify what they meant, leaving everyone except Jerry feeling anxious and uneasy.

"Go ahead, you'll find out when you get to school. I guess none of you will be coming back for Christmas this year, because... for one reason or another."

When Mrs. Molly got to the key points, she also used other words instead.

The Weasley brothers, with their boundless curiosity, felt they were going crazy, but no matter how much they asked, Mrs. Molly, Charlie, and Bill wouldn't say a word, and instead laughed as they pushed them to the other side of the portal.

Finally, when Jerry closed the portal, they still hadn't received any news.

Because of the portal, they arrived at the platform more than an hour before departure, so there were hardly any people on the platform or on the train.

The advantage is that they no longer have to search for empty seats and can choose the most satisfactory location.

However, given that Jerry's celebrity face was too eye-catching, in order to avoid being seriously harassed on the train, they finally chose the last compartment at the back of the train.

After everyone had put away all their luggage and sat down, Hermione suddenly asked Jerry:

"Jerry, do you already know what happened?"

Hermione's question instantly drew the attention of both Harry and Ron.

Why do you think I would know?

Jerry didn't deny it, and looked at Hermione beside him with a smile on his face.

Hermione raised her head with a hint of smugness:

"Since you were the only one there just now, and you didn't react to what Mrs. Molly and the others said, and you know people from the Ministry of Magic and have been staying at the Leaky Cauldron, I guess you must already know something."

"So clever!"

Jerry patted Hermione's head, and seeing Harry and Ron's wide-eyed expressions, Jerry didn't keep them in suspense like Bill and Charlie did, and directly stated the reason.

"Because Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament this year!"
