Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

Well, the manager's reaction was obviously what Jerry expected.

Therefore, he seemed to have not heard the manager's words and said to himself: "Let me introduce myself, I am Jerry Yoder, the youngest gold medal winner of the Times Youth Literature Award of the Year, my representative work "The Three-Body Problem" series It has received many positive reviews..."

"The Times Young People's Literary Award of the Year? What the hell?"

'It's just a pheasant prize...'

In fact, several reviewers who often publish review articles in The Times will join forces every year around Christmas to recommend to readers potential works published within the year.

Because most of the focus is on young people who are just entering the industry, it is also nicknamed the "Times Youth Literature Award of the Year".

If the original "The Three-Body Problem" were reproduced, Jerry would even have the confidence to compete for the Booker Prize - the highest award in the modern English novel world and one of the most influential literary awards in the world's literary world!

It's a pity that when he traveled through time, he didn't awaken any super power of photographic memory, and the system didn't give him anything like [Writing Proficiency].

I had no choice but to rely on what little memory I had left, borrowing concepts such as the three-body system, water droplets, and the laws of the dark forest from the original work, and adding some routines from online books that I was familiar with, to adapt a rigorous science fiction book into A youthful and passionate story about a boy piloting a mecha to fight against water droplets, and resisting the two-way foil.

The sales volume is naturally very average, with the three volumes adding up to about [-] copies.

Of course, this is a very common number in the Muggle world, and can even be said to be a huge surprise, but for the British wizarding world, which has a total population of less than [-], it is a bit incredible.

When Jerry thought about it, it was more than enough to fool these country wizards who had long been out of touch with the Muggle world.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he expected. The manager looked disgusted when he heard that the so-called "The Times" annual youth literature award was just an award given by a Muggle newspaper.

"Listen, kid! No wizard is interested in Muggle nonsense. If you're not here to buy books, get out!"

"..."

What a miserable guy!It is because the wizarding world is filled with a large number of such self-righteous and arrogant fools that wizards who have mastered supernatural powers are reduced to the point where they have to hide their existence, like rats in the sewer who cannot see the light.

"Okay! Okay!" Jerry smiled instead of getting angry, "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. Don't bully young people into poverty. You will beg me for help in the future!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jerry regretted them a little.

What a shame!

Due to the existence of the brain supplement system, he has become accustomed to acting enigmatic at all times and making some unclear and harsh remarks.

Even so, after saying this extremely shameful classic line, his head was still a little smokey, and he hurriedly turned around and left without raising his head.

After Jerry left, the manager just sneered and continued to do his own business.

But for some reason, in the next day, the phrase "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty" seemed to have some kind of magic power and kept lingering in his ears.

He lost his mind several times while working and took the "Magic Theory" requested by several customers into "Magic Defense Theory", and also lost a "Invisibility Book of Invisibility".

In the evening, he finally couldn't stand the scratching feeling anymore, so he assigned a well-connected clerk to find out who the young man was.

Half an hour later, the clerk came back in a hurry.

"Manager, the rumors are going crazy outside!"

"What happened?" the manager asked hurriedly.

The clerk took a sip of water and told all the information he had learned: "The boy's name is Jerry. He is a freshman at Hogwarts. He went to many stores yesterday to buy supplies for the freshman..."

"Say something important!" The manager interrupted him impatiently.

If this guy keeps talking, he can tell you exactly what brand of crucible the boy bought.

"Yes..." the clerk lowered his voice, "Guess who brought him here?"

"Professor McGonagall?" The manager frowned, "Or is it that stupid big guy Hagrid?"

These two are faculty members who run errands for Hogwarts all year round and welcome new students.

"No! It's Principal Dumbledore!"

The clerk had obviously just graduated, and he seemed quite excited when the name Dumbledore was mentioned.

In contrast, Mr. Manager was much calmer: "Dumbledore? I remember that he hasn't personally welcomed new students in many years."

"Yes, that's what people say." The clerk nodded, his eyes filled with gossip, "So everyone thinks that boy is his illegitimate son!"

"Nonsense!" the manager said in amusement, "Dumbledore is over 100 years old now, right?"

"I didn't believe it at first!" the clerk waved his hands, "but when I asked Old Tom and Mr. Ollivander - you know, they are all old friends with Dumbledore - when I mentioned that When they were teenagers, they were all secretive, and even a little scared! I guess they discovered this fact and were afraid of being silenced by Principal Dumbledore."

"..."

As the manager of Diagon Alley, which can even be said to be the largest bookstore in the British wizarding world, he is naturally not a guy without any background.

Upon closer inspection, most of the wizarding world's industries are actually owned by a handful of pure-blood families.

Standing behind Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is the Greengrass family, which is one of the best even among pure-blood families. It is estimated that only the Malfoy family or the Black family, which has not yet declined, can compare with them.

As a peripheral member of the Greengrass family, the manager naturally knows much more than the store clerks.

Therefore, he immediately ruled out the possibility that the boy was Dumbledore's illegitimate son.

But he’s definitely not a nobody!

Only pure-blood families like them, who are on the front line against the White Devil, can get a glimpse of Dumbledore's terror and deep scheming.

He didn't believe that Dumbledore would become interested in a new student on a whim.

It can only be said that this new student must have something that Dumbledore needs, or in other words, qualities that he likes.

What is it?

The manager's thoughts were racing.

I didn’t see that young man coming to Flourish Blossom Bookstore to buy textbooks, which meant that he most likely bought second-hand books.

There are no parents, money is tight...it's true, the boy is an orphan.

It's not a big deal to be an orphan... The manager suddenly remembered what the boy had just said - the other person seemed... seemingly... to be a great writer in the Muggle world?What other award did you win?
