Hogwarts: I will never become the Dark Lord

After receiving the gift, Mrs. Granger took her wand and pointed it at a damaged and cracked teacup on the table. A faint light shone from the tip of the wand, and the crack in the teacup was instantly repaired.

“It’s amazing!” Mrs. Granger exclaimed in astonishment.

"Darling, let me try it too!" Having witnessed the magic of Jerry's alchemical replica wand, Mr. Granger couldn't resist giving it a go.

"Jerry, you made this wand! You're amazing!" Hermes exclaimed, watching his father waving the wand with great enjoyment.

After delivering the gift, Jerry followed Hermione to her room on the second floor.

Upon entering the room, Jerry found that besides the bed and wardrobe, there was only a small dressing table with some girly accessories and hair clips on it, while the rest of the room was filled with all sorts of books.

It's hard to imagine that this room, where most of the space is occupied by books, belongs to a twelve-year-old girl!

But since this person is Hermione, the Queen of Hogwarts, then it's alright!

"Jerry, is Dumbledore really your grandfather? Have you found your parents?" After showing off the various books in her room, Hermione asked about Jerry.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

No wonder Jerry went to Slytherin; he must also be a pureblood.

Hermione couldn't understand why Dumbledore would let Jerry live in an orphanage for so many years!

Is Jerry an illegitimate child and therefore disliked? That's outrageous! Jerry is clearly so outstanding!

Jerry was browsing through the books on Hermione's bookshelf when he heard her question and was about to answer when he noticed a change in her eyes.

"What strange thing has he imagined again?" Jerry wondered to himself.

“Hermione,” Jerry waved his hand in front of her eyes, snapping her out of her reverie, “what are you thinking about?”

"Sorry, Jerry, I was a little distracted! Are you going to France this summer to visit your parents?"

Jerry shook his head. "No, I'm just going to see some old friends from my family. As for my parents... I'm sorry, Hermione, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know either. Dumbledore is a riddle man and doesn't want to tell me."

"All right!"

Hermione really wanted to complain: Jerry, sometimes you're just like Dumbledore!

"Hermione, don't tell anyone about my background, not even Harry and the others!" Jerry still felt it was better for few people to know about his origins, at least until he grew up.

Sigh, even Jerry doesn't understand what Dumbledore really means now.

"Don't worry! I won't tell anyone else."

The two hadn't been talking for long when there was a knock on the door.

When Hermione opened the door, she found Mr. Granger standing outside.

"Dad, is there something you need?"

“Nothing much, Jerry’s in your room too! Um… I… By the way, Jerry, come with me, I need to talk to you.” Mr. Granger stood at the doorway, glanced around the room, and then said to Jerry.

"What do you want with Jerry? We were just chatting!" Hermione looked at her father, sensing something was off about him.

"I just want Jerry to teach me Wizard Chess."

“I’m coming, Mr. Granger!” Jerry patted Hermione on the shoulder.

After the two arrived at the living room on the first floor, they took out the chessboard that Jerry had just given them and started playing.

The first few rounds were instructional, with Jerry teaching as he played, so he won easily each time. After a few rounds, although Jerry was still winning on the surface, it was clear that he wasn't winning as easily as he had at the beginning, and now the two were trading wins and losses.

As evening fell, Jerry sat in front of the chessboard, sometimes frowning, sometimes deep in thought, while Mr. Granger across from him was beaming, for he already had a great advantage in this game!

Jerry was faking it, of course. Although he didn't play Wizard's Chess often, he had dozens of ways to make Mr. Granger, a novice, give up Wizard's Chess altogether.

But at this point, only a fool would think about winning. The priority now is to find ways to keep Granger entertained.

Jerry wasn't stupid either. He didn't let him win right away. Instead, he gave him the illusion that he was constantly improving through a few games, providing him with positive feedback.

Then, by deliberately letting him win, he pretended to be evenly matched with him, and at the crucial moment, he intentionally made a slight mistake and lost to him by a single move.

Haha, go ahead and download it! Jerry will make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you!

"I lost!" Jerry looked at the situation on the chessboard, sighed, and pretended to be a little upset.

"Haha!" Mr. Granger was extremely excited, and amidst Jerry's constant flattery, he completely forgot his original purpose in seeking him out.

"Dad, did you beat Jerry? That was amazing!"

Hermione, coming downstairs, was surprised to see her father laughing heartily after winning the wizard chess game against Jerry. But then she realized that Jerry must have deliberately lost to him.

"Of course, honey! You can ask Jerry if you don't believe me!"

“Mr. Granger is indeed improving very quickly!” Jerry, who was sitting next to him, said, provided that no one else was asked to play Wizard Chess!

At dinner time, the food on the table was exceptionally plentiful. Mrs. Granger had prepared a large spread of... French cuisine!

To be honest, Jerry was quite envious of Hermione, who could sit together with her family and have a cozy dinner.

In his previous life, Jerry was an orphan. After transmigrating, although he had relatives in the world, Dumbledore and Grindelwald, those two unreliable old guys, made him an orphan for more than ten years for no reason.

Chapter 86 Necklace

Three days later, at dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the earth in a golden cloak.

Inside the guest room, Hermione lay barefoot on the bed, flipping through Lockhart's "Sailing with Vampires".

"He's amazing, he's not even afraid of vampires!"

Jerry sat at the table, examining the necklace his mother had left him. After hearing Hermione's words, he shook his head.

"Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year is Lockhart. After you finish his class, you'll realize how ridiculous what you just said was!"

"Really? How annoying, Jerry, you always only say half of what you mean!" Hermione crumpled up a piece of scrap paper next to her into a ball and threw it at him.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you, so you'd better discover some things for yourself!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Jerry's ebony wand paused. No wonder his words sounded familiar; wasn't that what Dumbledore often said to him?

"Hermione, can I borrow the Fawkes Tear that Professor Dumbledore gave you?"

Jerry has been studying the necklace for several days and has discovered that part of the runes inside the necklace have been damaged, which should have been caused by saving Rozier.

The good news is that Jerry can be fixed!

After hearing Jerry's words, Hermione got out of bed, ran back to her room, and gave the things to Jerry.

"for you!"

After Fox handed Jerry his tears, Hermione stood aside, watching him curiously.

Jerry gently opened the glass bottle and carefully poured a drop of the liquid into the necklace pendant.

A soft "sizzle!" broke the surrounding silence. It was the sound of liquid touching the pendant, like water droplets hitting a hot iron plate, accompanied by a slight quenching sound. Although the sound was faint, it caused subtle ripples in the air.

The runes on the pendant, bathed in the phoenix's tears, immediately emitted a pale yellow light. This light wasn't dazzling, but possessed a warm and mysterious power. It was very similar to the Guardian Charm, that was Jerry's first impression.

"it's beautiful!"

Hermione looked at the necklace on the table, shimmering in the twilight, and exclaimed in genuine admiration, her eyes sparkling with amazement.

"Like it?"

"Huh?" Hermione was a little confused by Jerry's question and stood there stunned.

Seeing Hermione's bewildered expression, Jerry smiled gently, stood up, placed his hands on her shoulders, and gently turned her around so that her back was to him.

Then I picked up the necklace and put it on her from behind.

Hermione was at a loss, and could only stand there obediently, her heart starting to race. She could feel Jerry's breath approaching and the cool touch of his fingers.

Jerry gently brushed aside the hair at the back of her neck and slowly put the necklace around her neck.

"Alright!" Jerry gently pushed Hermione to the mirror in the room. Their reflections were shown in the mirror; Jerry stood behind Hermione, the two close together.

"Jerry, I..." Hermione's face was flushed, and her eyes revealed shyness. She stood there, her hands nervously clasped together.

“Jerry, you’ve given me so many things! This necklace…” Hermione’s voice trembled slightly.

Before she could finish speaking, Jerry interrupted her: "The necklace was originally prepared for you. Remember, Hermione, never take it off, because it can protect you from a fatal injury in a dangerous situation!"

"Don't worry! I'm much stronger than you! Have you forgotten that giant monster?" Jerry added.

"Hmm!" Hermione lowered her head, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. Her hands nervously twisted together, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz. If the two hadn't been so close, Jerry would have barely been able to hear her.

……

Time has swiftly stepped into the last day of August.

The gentle sunlight shone down, etching the last vestiges of summer's warmth onto every inch of the land.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness, as if telling the story of autumn.

At this moment, nature is quietly preparing to welcome the changing of the seasons.

Jerry has been staying at Granger's house for over a week and hasn't gone back to the orphanage yet. Tomorrow is the first day of school, and they plan to set off together to go back to school.

During this time, Jerry's relationship with the Granger family has become better and better, especially Mrs. Granger. During their last meal, she told Jerry that if he hadn't already found his family, she would definitely have gone to the orphanage to bring him back and adopt him.

Of course, this suggestion was met with unanimous opposition from him and Hermione.

According to Dumbledore, he should be a few days younger than Hermione, and he didn't want to have another older sister.

Even if she calls me "sister" during the day and "sister" calls her "sister" at night, it's so enviable!

"Ok?"

A letter suddenly appeared on the table in front of Jerry.

“It’s a letter from Catherine!” Jerry muttered to himself, looking at the handwriting on the envelope.

While Hermione was away, Jerry quietly closed the door and opened the envelope to read.

"Does someone urgently need to see me?"

After reading it, Jerry frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Blue flames erupted from his hand, burning the letter to ashes. All traces were reduced to ash in the flames, leaving not a single mark.

After thinking for a while, Jerry decided to see her. She must have something important to say to him in such a hurry!

"Hermione, Dumbledore needs to see me! I have to leave now!"

After arriving on the first floor and finding Hermione and Mrs. Granger, Jerry said.
