Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 568 The New Headmaster Snape (First Update)

"retire?"

Snape hadn't even recovered from what had just happened with Jerry, who might be Wizard J, when he was once again shocked by Dumbledore's final words.

"Yes, I've decided to announce this before the Triwizard Tournament begins. I hope you can take over my position and become the new principal."

Of course, I will then serve as a referee for the Triwizard Tournament, and I won't leave the school until the competition is completely over!

Dumbledore winked at Snape.

Snape was stunned once again.

He's going to become the headmaster of Hogwarts!

"Isn't this too hasty? I always thought you would choose McGonagall."

"No, McGonagall is good, but you're more suitable. However, you need to change your biased Slytherin ways."

Dumbledore was not without his struggles regarding the choice of headmaster.

In theory, McGonagall should be more suitable to be the headmistress because she is the most impartial and will not show favoritism to Gryffindor just because she was once the headmistress of Gryffindor.

However, McGonagall is sometimes too rule-abiding, which is not a good thing for a principal.

Also, Professor McGonagall is a bit too old. If she becomes the principal, she probably won't last long before retiring.

Snape, on the other hand, was different. Although he looked older than his age, he was only thirty-five years old, in his prime, not even middle-aged. Moreover, his magical power was second to none in the entire magical world.

Importantly, Snape was very protective of his own and not dogmatic, as can be seen from his attitude towards Slytherin students.

Whenever a Slytherin student has a conflict with a student from another house, regardless of who is right or wrong, the student from the other house will have points deducted.

In today's wizarding world, a protective and flexible headmaster might be better for Hogwarts.

Finally, Jerry, whose strength may have surpassed his, is from Slytherin and has a very good relationship with Snape.

Successfully securing the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts and protecting the young wizards from outside interference is no easy task.

Even someone of his status sometimes has to make compromises.

Jerry's existence will inevitably become Snape's strongest support in the future.

The only problem is that Snape is a bit too biased towards Slytherin, but he believes that Snape will definitely change things after becoming headmaster.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to pass the position of headmaster to Snape instead of McGonagall.

"I don't know if Dumbledore guessed it was me, but it doesn't matter."

Meanwhile, Jerry, who was in a spells class, thought to himself.

The Philosopher's Stone was completely useless to him; he could conjure one himself using a Transfiguration Charm without even needing alchemy.

Therefore, last night, he took some time to return the magic stone he had taken earlier.

As for whether this would arouse Dumbledore's suspicion, with his current strength, he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Even if Dumbledore found out about all the things he had done in the past, it wouldn't matter.

He attended Hogwarts as a fourth-year wizard simply because he wanted to, for no other reason, and now he can make any choice without worrying or having any concerns.

At least in this world, he can now do anything he wants.

The only thing that can restrain him is himself.

……

In the afternoon, Slytherin and Gryffindor finally had their first class together this semester: Hagrid's Magical Creatures Protection Class.

The content involves learning how to feed the newly bred magical creature, the blasting-tailed snail.

A type of creature that, when first born, resembles a shrimp that has shed its shell. It looks disgusting and emits a very strong stench of rotten fish and shrimp. It is a violent creature that moves quickly by shooting flames from its tail.

"I think you'll definitely be very interested in them. These are a new breed that I bred using a Level 5 dangerous magical beast, a manticore, and sixty fire crabs. They've just hatched."

Seeing that all the young wizards from both academies had arrived, Hagrid proudly introduced them.

"You can raise them yourselves! We can do a big project!"

Faced with hundreds of white-gray, slimy, and terrifying-looking frizzy-tailed snails crawling around, the young wizards' first reaction was that they almost vomited.

Clearly, they were not interested in these disgusting magical creatures and had no intention of raising them.

"Hagrid really is a biologist in the wizarding world!"

Jerry didn't react much; instead, he stepped forward with great interest to observe.

Although he was a wizard, he was also a biologist and had even researched and created wizard enhancement potions to increase physical strength.

So I'm quite interested in this hybrid variety.

He actually planned to conduct some similar experiments, but not with ordinary magical creatures, but with fire dragons.

Now, due to the accelerated time, his ring world has spawned many fire dragons and many fire dragon eggs.

He thought that maybe next time he went to the Fairy Tail world, he could get some dragon crystals and implant them into the fire dragon in his ring world to make it evolve.

After Hagrid finished explaining, everyone picked up ant eggs, frog livers, and green snakes and began trying to feed the blasting snails.

Within ten minutes, screams of agony began to emanate from the young wizards.

Although the blasting snail is only in its early stages, it is, after all, a hybrid species of magical animal with a level 5 danger rating. It has a violent temper and will burn, sting, and bite people, so that is definitely unavoidable.

However, because it was just born, the damage was not significant; at most, there was just a little pain.

With Jerry's reaction speed, he certainly wouldn't be attacked by the tiny Blasttail, and he even had time to stop the Blasttail from attacking the other young wizards.

But he didn't do that; he simply reached out and deflected the Blasttail when it was about to attack Hermione.

Life is never smooth sailing; only by experiencing more pain can one truly understand the harshness of the world.

He was doing it for the good of these students.

Of course, watching the little wizards scream and cry as they get bitten is quite an interesting thing.

After the Magical Creatures Protection class ended, when all the young wizards returned to the castle to prepare for dinner in the Great Hall, Jerry secretly stayed behind.

"Jerry, what's up?"

Hagrid carefully packed away the three large boxes of slugs, and seeing that Jerry was still there, a look of confusion appeared on his bearded face.

"Let me show you some amazing treasures!"

Jerry smiled, flipped his hand, and three huge eggs appeared in Hagrid's eyes.

"Oh, Merlin, these are all dragon eggs!"

Hagrid stared at the dragon egg in Jerry's mouth, his eyes widening like two suns, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

He's always dreamed of having a fire dragon as a pet.
