Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

"The Goblet of Fire?"

"Flame my foot! It's a three-way battle for supremacy!" Lucius roared in anger. "Can't you learn more about these competitions? In the future, you'll also... Oh right, if you participate in the competition, you don't even need to know their names. Just give you the championship directly, and you won't have to waste everyone's time watching your solo show."

Lucius waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that. During the Triwizard Tournament, Merlin saw the dragon, and the dragon saw him too. But at that time, Merlin did not give up his obsession. Even when he was sitting in the stands, he was still holding onto the remains of his dragon runes."

At that moment, all the dragons turned their attention to Merlin instead of attacking the contestants, which gave Merlin a clue as to the origin of the item he possessed.

"Later on, Merlin turned his attention to dragons, thinking that they would recognize these things. So he began to raise dragons, but he found that they had no intelligence at all. So Merlin had to continue to go out and search for other intelligent dragons with his dragon runes."

At this time, Merlin… or rather, the King, summoned a group of people, the Knights of the Round Table.

"So the sword in the stone really exists? King Arthur really pulled it out of the stone?"

“Of course.” Lucius nodded. “Otherwise, how could he have become king? On the way there, Merlin went missing, and all the Knights of the Round Table were mobilized, including the king at the time—the King Arthur you mentioned, Pendragon.

Of those battles, only one person returned: King Arthur. The rest died, and Merlin never appeared again.

Long afterward, in the final moments of King Arthur's life, Merlin returned. He came to see his student one last time and brought back the complete Dragon Dominoes.

Merlin once said, "Do not touch dragons, do not investigate dragons; dragons are symbols of death."

"No one understood what Merlin meant. King Arthur died after passing these words down, and the myths were later embellished and passed down."

Dragons remain a symbol of death. Merlin was killed by a dragon, and the kingdom fell into darkness because of it. But that's the truth..." Lucius shrugged. "Alright, I'm done. This isn't a legend; it's true. The reason I know this is because..."

Lucius began to indulge in his perverse pleasures.

But this time Tom guessed correctly.

"Weren't there members of the Malfoy family in the royal court back then?"

Lucius scoffed, “Boring. I hate dealing with smart people, especially smart kids like you.”

I've already told you what's going on, and you should know how serious it is. Even Merlin couldn't solve it, so don't even think about getting involved. Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers the consequences in the end.

Tom, you need to understand that no one is special. You're just lucky to have gained unparalleled talent, but in the end, you're still a wizard, still... a human. Don't try to get close to dragons.

And never try to come into contact with death!

Merlin's fate remains unknown; all that is known is that he never appeared again after that incident.

Lucius went upstairs with his scepter, leaving Tom alone.

Just then, Tom heard a murmur in his ear.

It seemed to come from afar, yet it also seemed to be right in front of me.

Chapter 107 It's Tom's business who he marries! (4k)

Tom heard the whispers in his ear.

The sound drifted softly from afar and slowly reached Tom's ears.

"Tom..."

Have I fallen into demonic possession too?

Tom stood up abruptly.

No, was this the situation Merlin encountered back then?

The murmured voice continued: "I'm hungry..."

Tom: "?"

Wait a minute, doesn't that voice sound familiar?

Where have I heard that before?

"I'm hungry..." The murmurs continued in my ear.

Tom remembered.

The owner of that voice is... Jialuo!

After a moment of twitching at the corner of his mouth, Tom picked up the fire bolt, left home, and flew away into the distance.

On the Momo Mountains, the Garuda compass sits below, with several sheep grazing nearby.

"Can you please stop scaring people so late at night!"

Especially since I just heard about Merlin!

"Where did you learn this magic?"

Galo gave a dry laugh: "It's normal for dragons to know magic, right? Are you wizards the only ones allowed to use magic? Never mind that, I'm hungry."

"If you're hungry, then...eat! Didn't you already catch all the animals? Hmm...how come you caught four sheep at once? With your appetite, won't you eat the entire Momo Mountain Range?"

Galo pouted: "It's just four sheep. I don't want to eat them raw. Didn't you roast these sheep over a fire before? How did you do that? I just tried it myself, and it's gone."

What do you mean by "gone"?

Galo pointed a finger at the wreckage not far away.

The sheep passed away peacefully...

After all, all that was left was a pile of charcoal; they probably didn't even have time to react before Galo turned them to ash.

Do you need me to teach you?

"No need, I'll call you when I'm hungry." Gara was old—though not considered old among dragons, she was still an ancient creature who had lived for thousands of years, and she no longer wanted to learn more magic.

Tom complained, "This is such a hassle, but by the way, for this meal... I need you to teach me two more words."

“No problem.” Galo chuckled, waiting for Tom to finish grilling the lamb.

During this time, Tom thought of Garo and Merlin and asked, "Garo, I remember you said that Merlin brought you here, right?"

When did you meet Merlin?

"Who remembers? It's been so many years. Do you remember things from when you were a baby? Anyway, Merlin, that old senile bastard, didn't use the magic according to the instructions and ended up dying."

"Sigh, even Merlin wouldn't dare offend that person."

"That sir?"

Gara nodded: "Do you think this is magic Merlin created himself? Of course not. Merlin is indeed a genius, but it's impossible for him to create such powerful magic on his own. It must be that lady. She is very beautiful, very pretty, the most beautiful I've ever seen..."

Tom raised his hand: "Wait a minute, Merlin was the most powerful wizard in human history, right?"

"Yes."

"Then who is that 'lord' you're talking about...?"

Gara shook her head: "Don't pronounce her name. You'll know who she is once you learn magic. But I have to remind you... well, since you're cooking for me late at night, I'll give you a heads-up."

That person utterly detests love; you mustn't fall in love with her.

Tom: "?"

baffling.

More than an hour later, Tom had finished roasting the lamb.

Galo ate heartily, leaving Tom a few lamb legs for a late-night snack before swallowing them all whole, not even spitting out the bones.

Tom didn't go home tonight either, but stayed in the Momo Mountains all night.

……

In the blink of an eye, the sun rises and sets.

Days passed by one after another.

Hogwarts has entered a dark period in its history!

Two weeks have passed, and Hogwarts has started its new semester.

The students said goodbye to their favorite holiday, and they all looked gloomy.

Ron was the dumbest kid; he didn't sleep a wink all night on the eve of school!

According to Ron, he wanted to enjoy his last vacation.

Today...

Ron was walking on the road, almost unsteady on his feet.

"Hermione—" Ron saw Hermione in front of him and reached out to call out.

"Ron... what's wrong? Didn't you sleep a wink last night?" Hermione found it somewhat amusing. "You really don't take your health seriously."

Ron waved his hand: "Stop talking, I'm so sleepy. Why can't we have an extra month of holiday for Christmas?"

“Isn’t a month enough?” Hermione crossed her arms. “You’re just too lazy. I wish the Christmas break was only a week long. I want to spend the rest of the time in the library.”

"Hermione, are you a devil?!" Ron was immediately roused by Hermione's shocking statement. "But you seem to be in a pretty good mood today."

Hermione proudly raised her head.

Of course!

During this month-long vacation, I practiced Wizard Chess over and over again!

What for?

It's all for today!

Just today!

Today is the first day of school at Hogwarts, which means Tom will be returning to the school.

Hermione Granger is going to challenge Tom to a game of Wizard's Chess, and show him who the real master of Wizard's Chess is!

After defeating Tom... she's going to make a condition that will humiliate Tom!

The thought of Tom losing to her in the future made Hermione overjoyed. She was looking forward to the start of school every moment, and she was really looking forward to today!

Hermione quickly walked into the school, returned to her dormitory, and put down her luggage.

The two in the dormitory arrived early, greeted Hermione, and then watched as Hermione left the dormitory with a mischievous grin.

The two people in the dormitory looked at each other and shrugged.

"What's up with her?"
