Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 567 Identity Exposed (Second Update)

"Nothing is impossible, Severus. You should know that the mysteries of magic are endless, and I have only learned a tiny, insignificant part of them."

So it's not impossible for someone to surpass me in strength; this world will never lack geniuses.

Dumbledore looked up, seemingly unsurprised.

"But it's still hard to believe!"

Snape murmured.

This world is not lacking in geniuses, and he himself is a genius, but Dumbledore is the strongest kind of genius in this world.

"Headmaster, you've investigated for so long, do you know who this wizard is?"

Snape knew that Dumbledore had been investigating that New York wizard, and had even made a special trip to the U.S. Ministry of Magic during his vacation.

"I have some ideas, but I'm not entirely sure yet. I need to find a time to talk to him. However, I'm fairly certain that he's the same person as the wizard J who sealed Voldemort's soul!"

Dumbledore smiled and replied.

Snape paused for a moment, then nodded in approval.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true. The fact that the wizard J could find and seal all of Voldemort's souls is unbelievable, after all, Voldemort and Dumbledore are wizards of the same level.

Even Dumbledore couldn't do anything about Voldemort, when a wizard whom no one knew before suddenly appeared and sealed Voldemort's soul completely.

It's already terrifying enough that one wizard more powerful than Dumbledore would appear in this world; the chance of two appearing is extremely small.

Therefore, it is highly likely that these two wizards are actually the same person.

"Principal, now that you've roughly determined the other person's identity, could you tell me who he is?"

Snape was also very curious about who this powerful wizard was and whether he knew him.

Because he simply couldn't imagine which wizard in the world could surpass Dumbledore and completely seal Voldemort away.

"Jerry Carmen!"

Dumbledore smiled and said a name.

A hint of doubt appeared on Snape's face:

"What's wrong with Jerry? He went to his Charms class. He shouldn't be late at this time."

"I mean, that wizard is Jerry Carmen, the best wizard in your Slytherin fourth year!"

Dumbledore put down the sweater in his hand, then looked at Snape very seriously and emphasized it again.

Snape looked at Dumbledore, his pupils contracting several times, before slowly saying:

"Principal, are you kidding me? Today isn't April Fool's Day, and this joke isn't funny at all!"

Jerry Carmen, his most promising and favorite student, was a wizard even more powerful than Dumbledore. He sealed Voldemort's soul, took away the entire Azkaban, its Death Eaters, and the Dementors.

This is absolutely absurd!

Jerry was indeed talented, excelling in both academics and magic, but he learned it all step by step. He remembered that he used to give Jerry extra lessons to help him learn magic.

Now that Dumbledore says Jerry is the mysterious wizard J, how can he believe it?

Dumbledore seemed to have anticipated Snape's reaction:

"Don't get excited, Severus. If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that this is not a joke."

We all know who the powerful wizards are in the wizarding world right now. It's impossible for an unknown wizard to suddenly appear out of nowhere and have that level of power.

Therefore, it is highly likely that this wizard is not very old, but he is very talented, has a strong learning ability, and has his own ideas about the exploration and understanding of magic.

Only in this way can he break through the constraints of tradition and surpass us old folks.

And among the people you know over the years, there are a few young wizards who have done this. Think about it carefully, and you'll understand why I said it was Jerry.

Also, you should know that for non-Hogwarts teachers and students, entering the castle, and especially the fourth floor, is not an easy task.

Dumbledore's reasoning for suspecting Jerry's involvement wasn't limited to these factors; it also included the handprint found on the fourth floor and the various clues he had uncovered during that time.

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Snape finally calmed down and fell into deep thought.

Upon closer reflection, he realized that it seemed to be just as Dumbledore had said.

Jerry is indeed only in fourth grade this year and has only been studying magic for three years, but his achievements in these three years are truly terrifying.

It's worth noting that when school started last year, Jerry was already able to easily defeat more than a dozen Dementors and more than a dozen Aurors. Although it's possible that those Aurors were careless, the fact is that Jerry's strength at that time must have already surpassed that of an average Auror.

At that time, Jerry had only been studying magic for two years.

Now, another year has passed, and no one knows how strong he has become.

Crucially, Jerry also published two magic books, all of which contained magic he created himself, demonstrating that his magical theories had reached an extremely high level.

Although it's too early to say for sure, the various signs Jerry has shown suggest that, at least in the eyes of most wizards, his future could rival Dumbledore's, or even surpass it.

Therefore, if we were to analyze this rationally, Jerry is indeed the most likely candidate.

"If Jerry really is Wizard J, what are you planning to do, Principal?"

Snape asked with a somewhat serious expression.

Dumbledore smiled:

"I don't plan to do anything about it. Even if he really is, it's not so bad. He sealed Voldemort, which relieved the biggest worry in my heart, and he also returned the Philosopher's Stone."

Although some things were a bit exaggerated, they are still young, so it's normal.

I called you over today just to let you know in advance, so you're aware of what's going on.

Also, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be announcing my retirement soon!

The reason Dumbledore insisted on remaining the headmaster of Hogwarts at such an advanced age was not because he coveted the power of the headmaster. If he had coveted power, he would not have refused to become the Minister for Magic in the first place.

He only knew that Voldemort's crisis was not over and worried that Voldemort would make a comeback in the future, so he wanted to help Harry, the prophesied son, to grow to the point where he could defeat Voldemort in the future.

Now that Voldemort has been completely sealed away, he can retire in peace and go to Nurmengard to spend the rest of his life quietly with that person.

However, before that, he definitely needs to have a good talk with Jerry and make sure everything is completely clear before doing anything else.
