Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 594 I Come From Another World (Second Update)

"Let's take a break first!"

Jerry nodded, and considerately helped Hermione, whose walking posture was slightly unnatural due to the exertion, away from the young wizards who were still dancing wildly on the field.

"When you're dancing, you should change your glass slippers into sneakers; that would be much more comfortable."

"But that doesn't look quite right."

After having some snacks and drinks, Jerry and Hermione didn't go to the dance floor to dance with the other young wizards. Instead, they left the Great Hall and went for a walk in the cave.

Neither of them are the type to enjoy crowds. They're fine with a little commotion now and then, but they both feel uncomfortable in that kind of environment all the time.

In fact, apart from a few who particularly love dancing and having fun, many wizards will choose to leave the dance floor temporarily after dancing one or two dances and then find a quiet place to chat.

After all, the most essential purpose of these kinds of meetings is communication, not just eating, drinking, and playing around.

The tradition of Christmas dances, including inviting suitable partners of the opposite sex, is clearly an opportunity for young wizards, both male and female, to develop feelings for each other.

There is no rule in wizarding schools that prohibit students from dating.

Therefore, spending time alone after the dance to see if there's a possibility of being together in the future is what most of the young wizards really want.

Once again, Jerry and Hermione arrived at the great cave filled with roses and fairy light. Walking along the ornately decorated, winding path, they saw Fleur and Roger leaning against the statues, and Harry and Ginny sitting on the bench.

Later they also saw the tall Hagrid and Maxim, who was a head taller than Hagrid.

"It's her! She really shouldn't have been so stubborn!"

As Jerry passed by Hagrid and Maxim, he noticed a beetle perched on a reindeer statue behind them.

He immediately recognized that it was not an ordinary beetle, but a beetle transformed by a wizard using Animagus.

It was clearly Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet, who was using Animagus to eavesdrop on Hagrid and Maxim's conversation.

Since Rita smeared Fleur and Krum in the newspaper, the three headmasters jointly issued a statement banning Rita from entering Hogwarts again and from reporting any news related to the Triwizard Tournament.

Unexpectedly, this guy managed to sneak in using the Animagus.

"Since you like turning into a beetle so much, then live a good life as a beetle!"

With a flick of his wrist, a blue magical ray as thin as a fishing line shot out from Jerry's hand and precisely struck the beetle that Rita had transformed into using Animagus.

Jerry has amazing hearing. As he passed Hagrid and Maxim, he could clearly hear Hagrid telling Maxim the story of his giant mother and wizard father.

Therefore, he knew very well that, given Rita's nature, there would probably be a hot topic in the newspapers tomorrow: Hagrid is a half-giant.

This will cause Hagrid great harm.

Because many wizards and young wizards in schools do not know Hagrid's identity as a half-giant. They only think that he may have been born with a large physique, or that he may have used some magic and potions by mistake, resulting in aftereffects.

Giants are seen by wizards as extremely brutal, cold-blooded, and dangerous magical creatures, and were once Voldemort's loyal allies.

Therefore, wizards are generally fearful of most giants, and will even try to kill them if they encounter them.

Currently, there are virtually no giants left in the UK, as they have all been killed or banished to extremely remote areas by the Ministry of Magic.

If Hagrid's half-giant identity were revealed, many parents of young wizards would probably immediately write to Snape, urging him to expel Hagrid, this dangerous individual.

At the very least, he should no longer be allowed to teach Magical Creatures, directly interacting with and instructing young wizards.

This is why, during the conversation just now, when Hagrid asked her if she was also a half-giant, Maxim's expression immediately changed. She not only denied it but also immediately shook off Hagrid and left.

Because Maxim knew that, as the headmistress of Beauxbatons, she absolutely could not admit that she was a half-giant.

Otherwise, she might lose her position as principal.

"For the next ten years, just live your life as a beetle!"

After taking one last look at Rita's transformed beetle form, Jerry led Hermione deeper into the cave.

He just reinforced Rita's Animagus transformation with magic, so Rita will no longer be able to deactivate the transformation on her own until Jerry's magic effect disappears in ten years.

This can be considered Jerry's punishment for this unscrupulous reporter who likes to fabricate stories and pry into other people's privacy.

Deep inside the cave, Jerry and Hermione sat side by side on a green vine-covered hanging chair surrounded by roses.

The beautiful scenery, the romantic atmosphere, their eyes met, they slowly drew closer, couldn't help themselves, and then slowly pulled away. Jerry composed himself and said:

"Hermione, I've always wanted to tell you a secret!"

After officially confirming their relationship, Jerry thought about it carefully and decided to tell Hermione some of his true feelings.

There is nothing in this world that can threaten him now, so he can reveal some secrets without any scruples.

However, he couldn't tell Hermione everything at once, because he was afraid that Hermione wouldn't be able to understand it, such as the panel in her mind.

Hermione pursed her pink lipstick-covered lips, calming her heart which was still racing from the French kiss, and asked in a slightly dazed tone:

"What secret? Have you invented some new magic?"

"No, it's more important than that."

Jerry shook the picture, then began to explain in a serious tone:

"Actually, I wasn't born in an orphanage. I have parents and a younger sister. Although they are not related to me by blood, they are very important to me."

But I actually came into this world when I was eleven years old.

As Jerry explained, Hermione's eyes widened, her face showing a confused expression of disbelief and incomprehension, which gradually turned into worry.

Hermione is very smart, but she is only fifteen years old, and she spends most of her time learning magic.

She knows a little more about science in the Muggle world than wizards from normal wizarding families, but it's only a little more common sense.

As for things like parallel worlds, time travel, and rebirth—things that even normal scientists can't explain—she understood even less.

So, as Jerry explained, her expression gradually changed from confusion to worry.
