Hogwarts: I will never become the Dark Lord

“Goodbye, Norbert! Mom will never forget you!” Hagrid said, his eyes brimming with tears, as he looked at the box.

As the group carried Norbert to the corridor on the ground floor of the Astronomical Tower, they suddenly heard a stern voice.

It was Professor McGonagall, who was grabbing Malfoy's ear and saying sternly, "Solitary confinement! And Slytherin loses twenty points!"

After saying that, he pulled Malfoy away and they seemed to be going to find Snape.

Harry, emerging from a corner, looked at Malfoy with schadenfreude and said, "Malfoy's going to be put in solitary confinement!"

About ten minutes after reaching the top of the Astronomy Tower, four wizards descended from the darkness on broomsticks.

After a brief conversation with everyone, Charlie's friend quickly secured the safety rope to the lock on the box to ensure it wouldn't fall down. He then waved goodbye to everyone, took Norber, and left Hogwarts, disappearing into the darkness.

After seeing Norbert off, everyone felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts, and their hearts were as light as their hands on the way back.

"Oh no! We're in trouble!" Jerry and his friends heard footsteps as soon as they stepped into the corridor.

Jerry couldn't care less about Harry and the others anymore, so he grabbed Hermione's hand and ran.

"I heard your voices, you can't escape!"

Ignoring Filch's words, Jerry pulled Hermione and ran down to the Astronomy Tower until they were both exhausted and finally found a corner to sit down, panting.

"Hoo~ Jerry, Jerry, hoohoo~ Harry and the others are lost. hoo~"

"Phew~ Never mind them for now, phew~"

Jerry, panting, pulled a Marauder's Map from his shirt pocket, opened it, and began searching for the other people's locations.

Sure enough, Harry, Ron, and Neville were captured by Filch, and Snape and Professor McGonagall were also on their way.

"What... what is this?" Hermione asked in surprise, looking at the map in Jerry's hand. "Jerry, how did you get something like this!"

"The Marauder's Map, a Christmas present from the Weasley twins, but it's a contraband. However, Hermione, you know I always follow school rules and don't go out at night. This is the first time I've used it!" Jerry said righteously, shifting all the blame onto the Weasley twins.

Whether Hermione believes it or not, Jerry does!

Hermione: "..."

"Come with me, Hermione!" Jerry, holding the Marauder's Map, skillfully bypassed Snape and Professor McGonagall, and escorted Hermione to the door of the Gryffindor common room.

"Hermione, go and get some rest! We can talk about it tomorrow," Jerry gently reminded her.

"Okay! Be careful on your way back!" Hermione nodded in agreement, then gave Jerry a warm hug, before waking up the Fat Lady, opening the door to the Gryffindor common room, and going inside.

Chapter 65 I Want the Elder Wand

"Good morning, everyone! Why are you up so early today? Looks like you didn't escape Filch's clutches last night!" Jerry asked jokingly, looking at Harry, Ron, and Neville sitting at the long table in the hall with vacant eyes.

"We barely slept a wink last night!" Harry said, somewhat angrily. "It's all Filch's cat's fault, otherwise we would have run away long ago!"

Ron and Neville nodded helplessly.

"Jerry, the three of us lost a total of 150 points last night," Harry said, his voice filled with deep remorse. "This morning, several Slytherin students cheered and applauded us! You know how awful that felt!"

Seeing the three of them so dejected, Jerry thought to himself, "It seems they haven't betrayed Hermione and me."

Jerry tried to comfort Harry and the others, but it didn't seem to have much effect; they remained immersed in their self-blame and grief. Jerry also realized that he might not be very good at comforting others, especially in situations like this.

Perhaps he's better suited to comforting girls.

……

Then, things spread like wildfire. Harry Potter, the well-known and respected Harry Potter, the hero of two Quidditch matches, became the culprit for their massive point deduction. He, along with two other foolish first-year students, became targets of everyone's ire.

Harry was once one of the most popular and respected figures in school, but now he has become a laughing stock in an instant.

Even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were indifferent to him, because they always expected to see Slytherin lose the House Cup.

Wherever Harry went, people would point and whisper about him, and the insults wouldn't lessen as he approached.

On the other hand, whenever he walked past the Slytherin students, they would always clap, whistle, and cheer loudly: "You've done us a great favor! Potter, thank you so much!" These voices pierced Harry's heart like knives.

“Harry, stop blaming yourself. In a few weeks, they’ll forget all about it,” Hermione comforted Harry, who looked dejected.

Seeing Harry's self-reproach, Hermione could understand his pain. She tightly grasped Jerry's right hand, who was sitting beside her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Hermione couldn't imagine how she would face the other Gryffindor students if she were caught and lost fifty points.

Time quickly passed to the week before the exam, and Harry and his friends temporarily forgot their worries by burying themselves in their studies.

Jerry hasn't come away empty-handed either!

Jerry has almost accumulated fifty chances to participate in the lucky draw. He plans to save up fifty chances before drawing again after this semester ends!

Not only that, Jerry also worked like crazy every night in the House of Requirement, finally getting Fiendfyre to Lv 5 (0.51%).

Far ahead!

It is higher than the Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra) Lv 4 (87.53%).

Jerry was able to control Fiendfire when he reached level three of the Fiendfire spell, and now he can do it at will. Of course, the price is that the spell practice area of ​​the Room of Requirement is almost burned down by his Fiendfire!

In a few days, when I'm stealing... no, I should say protecting the Philosopher's Stone, I'll give Voldemort a surprise. Hopefully, he won't mess with me then.

Hmph! Voldemort, can you withstand the Fiendish Flames I've been burning for months?

……

At dinner, Harry, pale and looking uneasy, approached the group.

“I just ran into Professor Quirrell again,” Harry said in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly. “He was crying, and it seemed like he had accepted Snape’s threat!”

"So, Snape finally succeeded!" Ron said in surprise, turning to Harry. "What should we do now, Harry?"

Ron's eyes gleamed with an adventurous light, as if he were hoping Harry would provide some exciting answers.

However, Hermione answered before Harry could.

“We should go find Professor Dumbledore. You can’t act alone anymore; if you get caught again, you’ll definitely be expelled from Hogwarts.”

"And don't forget, there's also Cerberus!"

Just as the group was arguing, three notes appeared in front of Harry, Ron, and Neville. They opened them in surprise; each note read the same thing: "Come to Filch in the foyer at 11 pm tomorrow night."

"Okay! I forgot, we're barely able to take care of ourselves right now!" Ron said with a wry smile.

……

night.

Jerry had just come out of the Room of Requirement when he saw Dumbledore looking at him kindly.

"Jerry, you're out at night again! That's against school rules!"

Jerry: "..."

"What do you need me for, Headmaster?" Jerry sighed. "I don't believe you'd be waiting for me here for no reason!"

"Come with me, let's go to the principal's office to talk!"

After following Dumbledore to the Headmaster's office and sitting down, Jerry complained, "Mr. Dumbledore, I think you should give me permission to enter the Headmaster's office! I feel like I come to the Headmaster's office almost as often as I go back to my dorm!"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Jerry, this semester is almost over, the Philosopher's Stone is about to be moved, and all the factions are starting to move!"

"So, I hope you can help Harry out in the end!"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Jerry frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Of course he would help Harry, after all, he also wanted the Philosopher's Stone, and Dumbledore should have guessed that too!

"So, the Philosopher's Stone at Hogwarts is fake?" Jerry asked tentatively.

"You are indeed very clever! You figured out the key point so quickly!" Dumbledore sighed and said, "The Philosopher's Stone at Hogwarts is indeed fake!"

Jerry was speechless at Dumbledore's attempt to get something for nothing. Without the Philosopher's Stone, what was the point of even talking about it?

Jerry was originally planning to steal Harry's Philosopher's Stone! Anyway, Dumbledore had promised Jerry that he wouldn't interfere or stop him.

To prevent Dumbledore from going back on his word, Jerry even had the apostles try to lure Dumbledore away!

After all that effort, all you got was a fake magic stone! Old Deng, you're really something!

"Don't worry, Jerry, Nicolas Flamel gave me a replica of the Philosopher's Stone. It works the same as the original, only its usage is limited. I can't give you the original, but I can give you this replica!"

"Of course, if you have any other needs, you can let me know!"

"I...I want the Elder Wand!"

Dumbledore: "..."

Chapter 66 Fiery Path

"Jerry, something's happened! I spotted a terrifying figure last night while I was in solitary confinement. He was hunting a unicorn!"

Early in the morning, Harry, Ron, and Neville ran to Jerry's side and told him about what happened in detention the night before.

Jerry wondered to himself, could it be that Voldemort is actually a kind and honest person?

Voldemort paid the reward for the Blood Curse, but Jerry withheld the Soul-Giving Potion, and even after all this time, he hasn't come to ask Jerry for it! Instead, he risks being discovered every day to hunt unicorns alone in the Forbidden Forest.

Ugh! Thinking about it, Jerry suddenly felt like he was being a bit too damn bullying.

……

During exam week, the entire school was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

With summer vacation approaching, the weather was unusually hot and humid, as if even the air had become stuffy, making the large classrooms where students were answering questions even more unbearably hot.

The students sat in the classroom, holding new quill pens that the professor had given them specifically for exams.

These quill pens were enchanted with anti-cheating spells, preventing students from cheating through magic and ensuring the fairness and impartiality of the exam.

In addition to written exams, Hogwarts exams also include practical tests.

For example, Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions.

For the Charms class exam, Professor Flitwick had the students enter the classroom one by one, and then asked them to use magic to make a pineapple tap dance across a desk.

This task may seem simple, but it actually requires students to master certain magical skills and balance.
