Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 573 Divine Talisman Pegasus and Ghost Ship (First Update)

The last class in the afternoon ended half an hour early. Like most Slytherin boys, Jerry returned to his dormitory, put down his books, put on a green cloak with a python pattern, and lined up in the basement corridor.

"Jerry, come here!"

Standing at the front of the line, Professor Snape, who was dressed more formally and elegantly than usual, waved to Jerry.

Jerry, who had been hiding peacefully in the group due to the wizard shielding spell, was immediately drawn to everyone's attention again by Professor Snape's shout.

Wizard-protecting charms and Muggle-protecting charms share the same characteristic: they are automatically dispelled if the name is called out loudly.

"Wow, it's Jerry! It's Jerry!"

The previously quiet Slytherin group suddenly became noisy.

Because of the wizarding shielding spell, apart from the fourth-year Slytherin wizards, the other Slytherin wizards haven't actually seen Jerry more than a few times since the start of the school year.

"Yes, Professor!"

Jerry had no choice but to step out of the line and stand in front of Snape.

Snape's stern gaze swept across the group, and all sound instantly vanished, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Don't assume that just because Snape is the head of Slytherin and usually favors Slytherins, the young Slytherin wizards aren't afraid of him.

Actually, they're all the same!

"Jerry, I'll be following the headmaster for a while. You'll be leading the Slytherin group."

After giving Jerry a stern look to rein in discipline, Snape's expression softened slightly, and he gave him instructions.

Today is the day he takes over as headmaster, so of course he has to come with Dumbledore to meet the headmasters of the other two schools.

However, this means that Slytherin will no longer have a Headmaster.

That's why he called Jerry out to replace him.

Although Jerry is only a fourth-year student, with his abilities and reputation in Slytherin, he is the most qualified wizard to lead Slytherin.

This was actually Snape's own expectation of Jerry.

"Slytherin is the noblest and most elegant house, and I hope that you will fully demonstrate this under Jerry's guidance in a moment. If anyone embarrasses themselves in front of the two great houses, you know the consequences."

After giving a stern warning to the seventh-year Slytherin wizards, Snape left.

Jerry sighed. He didn't really want to take on this task, but since Snape had given the order, he wouldn't refuse. Today was an important day for Snape to take over as headmaster, and as his last disciple, it was only right that he share some of the burden.

"Ahem, alright, no need to be so tense. It's okay. Line up and follow me. We're going to the foyer to meet up with the wizards from the other three houses!"

Turning his head to the first-year wizards in the front row behind him, who were too scared to move by Snape, Jerry gave them a gentle smile, waved, and led all the Slytherin wizards toward the first-floor foyer.

Upon arriving at the entrance hall, the young Hufflepuff wizards, draped in yellow cloaks, were already lined up under the guidance of Professor Sprout, the Hufflepuff Headmaster.

After a while, Ravenclaws in blue cloaks and Gryffindor wizards in red cloaks came down from upstairs, led by Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall.

"Alright, let's go get ready to welcome Beauxbatons and Durmstrang!"

Dumbledore, dressed in a purple robe, called out and led Snape out of the castle.

Jerry, Sprout, Flitwick, and Professor McGonagall led the young wizards from the four houses out of the castle in succession, and then formed four square formations on the large lawn outside the castle.

After the line was formed, there were still five minutes left before the two schools were scheduled to arrive.

Night had fallen over the castle, and a bright, translucent moon hung in the sky above the Forbidden Forest.

Once all the young wizards had some free time, they began to whisper among themselves.

Most of the discussion revolves around the two schools and how they will arrive at Hogwarts—whether by flying broomsticks or Portkeys, etc.

A small number of more perceptive young wizards were discussing why Professor Snape was different from the other professors today, standing alone next to Headmaster Dumbledore.

"They're here!"

Standing at the front of the Slytherin group, Jerry looked up and gazed towards the moon in the sky.

His eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people, so while others had not yet made any discovery, he had already spotted the pinkish-blue carriage under the bright moonlight thousands of miles away.

Twelve winged, elephant-sized, silver-maned winged horses, pulling huge powder-blue carriages, galloped through the air toward Hogwarts.

It was from the magic school Beauxbatons in the south of France.

As the carriage drew near, the young wizards, alerted by Dumbledore, noticed its presence and exclaimed in surprise.

As all the young wizards looked up at the pink and blue carriage that had appeared above the Forbidden Forest, Jerry looked down at the Black Lake not far away.

He knew that the teachers and students of Demsland Magic School, located in the coldest northern region of the European continent, had arrived because he heard some strange rumbling sounds coming from there.

Sure enough, the once calm Black Lake suddenly became turbulent, with commotion arising underwater in the center and huge splashes of water rising to the surface.

Waves crashed against the damp lake shore, and then, right in the center of the lake, a huge whirlpool appeared, as if a giant plug had suddenly been pulled out from the bottom of the lake.

A long, dark, rod-like object slowly rose from the center of the vortex, and then Durmstrang's enormous ghost ship suddenly sprang out of the vortex.

The ghost ship, which Jerry had seen in a magic book, is a magical ship unique to Durmstrang. It can travel on water and can also teleport, but the destination must have enough water.

He had previously planned to get one from Demsland, but abandoned the plan after learning how to use teleportation.

Because it's no longer necessary.

"It's always like this—when everyone gets together, they can't help but want to show off..."

At this moment, Jerry looked at the rune carriage in the sky and the ghost ship in the lake, and couldn't help but think of a sentence that Arthur had said when commenting on wizards during the Quidditch World Cup.

Arriving at Hogwarts, the world's premier wizarding school, and facing the greatest wizard Dumbledore and the awe-inspiring Hogwarts Castle, both schools naturally wanted to show off something, otherwise they would lose face.

The desired effect was achieved; at least the young wizards at Hogwarts were indeed amazed by the way the two schools made their entrance.

However, when the students from both schools got off the bus and the ship, they were just as shocked to see the towering Hogwarts Castle and the sheer number of Hogwarts junior wizards.
