Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

"...By the time I come back from Greece, I'm afraid I will already be on the wanted list."

Dumbledore sighed.

"Is there anything we can do to help you?"

Hermione asked hastily.

Jerry vaguely guessed something: "I think you should have been prepared for this."

"It's not like I was prepared in advance." Dumbledore shook his head, "It's just that I always consider the worst outcome before doing anything."

"Most of the time, this habit turns out to be redundant, but this time it clearly did me a favor."

Jerry breathed out: "I understand what you mean."

Hermione's eyes widened: "But - I don't understand..."

"For one person to be in two places at once - Hermione, we need more time."

Hermione had a thoughtful look on her face.

Dumbledore glanced at Jerry appreciatively and added: "There is Polyjuice Potion in the cabinet in the office. You can use it to become like me... It's five minutes to midnight. Just turn three times. I wish you all the best." Good luck to you."

In the smoke, Dumbledore's face disappeared, and the office returned to its usual calm. Jerry and Hermione looked at each other.

"Son, the Polyjuice Potion is in that cabinet."

On the wall, Delise Devante pouted at Jerry.

Jerry came to the location she indicated and found an inconspicuous secret door on the shelf.

With a gentle pull, the secret door opened, and there were many large and small glass bottles inside.

The glass bottles contained potions that exuded colorful luster. Some of them were familiar to Jerry, but most of them were unknown to him.

The tan polyjuice potion looked particularly inconspicuous inside.

On the long round-mouth bottle, there is also a small paper bag containing a bunch of white hair.

Jerry took out the polyjuice potion, thought about it, and put a small glass bottle filled with golden liquid into his pocket.

"Jerry, it's not good to do this..."

Hermione, who was watching from the sidelines, looked embarrassed.

"When we do things for Dumbledore, he must give us some reward." Jerry said unconcernedly, "You can also choose a bottle you like."

The portraits on the wall began to whisper again, but that didn't stop Jerry.

Hermione glanced at them carefully, feeling a little moved.

She just discovered something called a magic-enhancing potion among these potions.

It can greatly enhance a person's magic power in a short period of time.

Although Hermione now has mastered many spells, many of which are powerful magics, many of them cannot be released smoothly due to insufficient magic power.

If she could get this potion, some magic that would be of great help to her could be successfully used.

Hermione glanced at the portraits again, and the former headmasters nodded kindly towards her. Then Hermione made up her mind and took out the magic potion from the cabinet, holding it tightly in her hand.

"I'll go to the Ministry of Magic with Fudge as Dumbledore," Jerry said. "I'll give you some Polyjuice Potion. If I don't come back the next day, I'll go to the Great Hall in my disguise." One lap, don’t let anyone notice that I’m gone.”

"I...I understand..." Hermione looked a little nervous. She fumbled clumsily in the collar of her robe and pulled out a long, thin gold chain.

The two of them had used the time converter many times before, and they were very familiar with it this time.

Hermione put the chain around Jerry's neck.

"Are you ready?" she asked quietly.

Jerry nodded slightly.

So Hermione turned her pocket watch three times.

Dumbledore's office disappeared, and Jerry felt himself flying backwards rapidly, blurry colors and shapes flashing past, and his eardrums swelled——

Then he felt his feet touch solid ground, and everything became clear again.

He stood next to Hermione, in an alley in Hogsmeade, with a golden beam of sunlight shining on the ground from the wall——

He went back three hours.

The next moment, Hermione cast the Disillusionment Curse on the two of them, and their figures gradually disappeared against the wall.

The two of them didn't wait long in the shadow of the corner when they saw another Jerry and Hermione walking through the alley one after another - they were on their way back to Hogwarts.

"Follow them." Hermione whispered, "You can wait in the Slytherin common room until Fudge goes in - wait a few minutes before going in. You and Lupine will be taken to the Ministry of Magic together." Dumbledore's here, they don't dare to kill Lupin for no reason - everyone saw us entering Dumbledore's office together, I will wait for you in the office, if nothing else, wait for you to come back After we get to the office, we can just return to our original appearance and go out."

Of course, if something unexpected happens, for example, Jerry does not come back after being at the Minister of Magic for a long time, Hermione will need to walk out of the office in her own appearance and then Jerry's appearance - otherwise the two of them will stay in the principal's office for too long. , will inevitably arouse the suspicion of professors.

Hermione's brain was spinning faster and faster, and she made a draft of what was going to happen next.

Jerry listened to Hermione's arrangements and remained silent without speaking.

Hermione glanced at him and said somewhat unconfidently: "There shouldn't be anything missing, right?"

Jerry shook his head: "I was just thinking... If Dumbledore only wants us to save Lupin's life, it would be enough to go back to an hour ago. Why go back to three hours ago?"

"I think..." Jerry said slowly, "Compared with Lupine's life, Dumbledore wanted to find out the truth of the matter. Why did Lupine lose control even though he drank the Wolfsbane potion on time..."

"He wants us to investigate the truth of the matter?!" Hermione was excited and panicked when she heard this. This kind of plot that only appeared in detective novels made her heart beat faster.

"So I think the plan should change a bit, we're going to go to Lupin's office first and find out what's going on!"

The shadows of the trees are lengthening, and the roofs and treetops are coated with a layer of gold.

Jerry and Hermione trotted to Honeydukes candy store - in the basement of this store, there was a secret passage leading to Hogwarts.

When they came to the door of the shop, Mr. Froome was tidying up the shop for closing, and the two men passed carefully through them and ran into the basement.

In the basement, piles of candies were piled up to the ceiling, and a sweet smell filled the air.

The secret passage door was under a large barrel of sugar slime. Jerry and Hermione struggled to move the barrel and followed the secret passage back to Hogwarts.

When they came out of the secret passage behind the statue of Gregory, they saw that the castle was empty, with only one or two lower-level students occasionally walking through the corridor.

The two carefully avoided these students so as not to be discovered by them, and then arrived at the door of Lupine's office.

"The moon is about to rise," Hermione whispered.

Jerry glanced out the window subconsciously. On the horizon, only half of the red sun's face was left, casting its last afterglow on the earth.

The two quietly hid outside the office and waited quietly.

Not long after, they saw Snape walking from the other end of the corridor with a cup of medicine in his hand.

Halfway through, he was stopped by someone from behind.

It's Malfoy.

Malfoy's robes were stained with blood, and he was saying something to Snape anxiously.

Because they were too far apart, the two of them could not hear the specific content clearly. After hearing this, Snape's expression changed.

Finally, he handed the cup to Malfoy, gave him a few instructions, then turned and ran towards the other end of the corridor.

Malfoy stared at his back until he disappeared around the corner, then turned around, his face already pale.

With trembling hands, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and drank it in one gulp.

The next moment, his skin began to melt and reshape, and finally, a brand new "Snape" appeared in front of them.

Hermione couldn't help but let out a scream, and then covered her mouth tightly.

Jerry's pupils also shrank for a while!

It was Malfoy who tampered with Lupin's medicine? !

Perhaps because he was too nervous, Malfoy did not notice the little movement from Hermione. He adjusted his facial expression in front of a mirror until it finally became as cold and empty as the real Snape, then he nodded with satisfaction and held the The medicine cup walked towards Lupine's office.

"We're going to stop him!"

Hermione whispered into Jerry's ear.

The girl's hot breath blew against Jerry's ear, and a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of Jerry's nose, making him feel uneasy.

After thinking carefully for a while, Jerry shook his head: "Even if we stop him, Professor Snape won't have time to brew a pot of wolfsbane potion again."

While he was talking, 'Snape' had already arrived at the office door and knocked on the door.

The door opened and 'Snape' walked in.

Not long after, 'Snape' came out and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor. Just when Jerry was hesitant to follow him, an unexpected figure appeared in front of them.

It's Harry.

Harry didn't stay in the office long before he was kicked out by Lupine. After staring blankly at the closed door for a while, he left worriedly.

Knowing that it was Malfoy who had done this, Jerry felt at ease and waited for the moment when Lupine lost control.

The moon rose quickly, and Hogwarts in October was already a little chilly. The laughter coming from downstairs from time to time and the pumpkin aroma that seemed to permeate the entire castle made me just stand here stupidly. Jerry, who was cold and hungry, couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

At this moment, Jerry noticed that the girl beside him suddenly moved and moved closer to him.

The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she breathed into her hands from time to time.

Seeing this, Jerry suddenly felt an impulse in his heart and reached out to hug her gently.

Suddenly falling into a warm embrace, the girl's body stiffened for a moment, and then a pair of bright brown eyes looked over with doubt and shame.

Jerry sneered and let her go quickly.

He didn't know what happened just now, but his head suddenly went blank for a moment. When he realized it, he had already hugged her.

"I will be responsible." Jerry said seriously.

Hermione frowned at him and turned away.

"unnecessary."

There was an unspeakable silence for a while, until a familiar wolf howl sounded from Lupin's office, breaking the silence.

Soon, a gray-furred werewolf broke through the door and rushed out.

The faint laughter of the girls upstairs stopped suddenly, and the next moment, it turned into screams of terror.

The werewolf caught their voices and ran frantically towards the source of the sounds.

"What to do? Jerry." Hermione said anxiously.

The werewolf hadn't hurt a single student before, so she thought she could just follow the werewolf secretly.

Now, those students who failed to attend the banquet on time were obviously discovered by werewolves and were in danger.

Jerry and Hermione looked at each other and followed the werewolf.

The girls seemed to be hiding in an empty classroom. The werewolf was banging on the door hard, and the girls' frightened cries came from behind the door.

Seeing that the door was crumbling, Jerry looked around anxiously.

No one should have been injured in this werewolf incident. In other words, someone showed up and rescued these girls.

But that person didn't show up.

Jerry had a flash of inspiration - he understood why a werewolf with an extremely sensitive sense of smell and hearing was running around in the castle, but he was so unlucky that he didn't meet a single student.

He pulled out his wand, lifted the Disillusionment Curse on his body, and under Hermione's incredible eyes, shouted: "Everyone is petrified."

The Kill Declaration skill is being cooled down. It seems that the skill CD set by the system is somatosensory time rather than real time.

Ordinary spells naturally cannot cause much harm to the werewolf. After a while, the blue-grey color on the werewolf faded away. He looked at Jerry angrily, and Jerry hit its face with another red light.

[Intermediate Soul Magic Mastery: Your spell has caused a furious effect on the enemy, IQ -10, Strength +10]

"..."

Jerry groaned secretly in his heart.

The IQ after transforming into a werewolf is already low enough, and reducing it further will have no effect.

But that strength +10 will kill you.

The werewolf shook his huge head, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of red gauze.

He stared at the damn little man, breathing heavily through his nose.

At this moment, he had no other thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to tear the guy in front of him into pieces who dared to attack him!

The werewolf lunged at Jerry.

"There are many obstacles!"

The werewolf stumbled and fell headfirst to the ground.

Hermione's figure appeared in the air. She held her wand and stood next to Jerry panting.

"I understand - Dumbledore asked us to go back three hours ago. More importantly, he wanted us to restrain the werewolf and prevent him from harming other students."

"Then he really has confidence in us."

Jerry also thought of this and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You can do it, can't you?"

Hermione said, "You got rid of him with two charms."

Dumbledore was obviously able to understand the situation in the school in some way, and he probably decided to let Jerry do this after knowing that Jerry easily eliminated the werewolf.

Jerry smiled bitterly in his heart.

I don’t have any real damage buff now.
