Chapter 172 The Emperor’s motto
Chapter 172 The Emperor’s motto
Jerry didn't take Snape's threats seriously.
After the Potions class, he and Hermione went to an ancient magic text class through the time turner, and then followed the other students to Professor Lupine's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
In class, Lupine took them to see creatures like Boggarts.
This is a dark creature that likes to live in dark, closed spaces and feeds on human fear.
In some ways, there are certain similarities with dementors.
The dementor it turns into can even really bring back people's most painful memories. Except that it cannot give people a "kiss", it is no different from ordinary dementors.
The reason why Jerry understands so well is because in this class, the Boggart really turned into a dementor in front of Harry.
Jerry remembered that in the original book, Lupine did not let Harry have contact with Boggarts because he was afraid that Voldemort would appear in front of everyone.
During this class, Lupine seemed to want to experiment with something and did not stop Harry.
When the dementors appeared, everyone present could not help but shudder.
Harry closed his eyes tightly and fell to the ground.
Lupine quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands, and at the same time shouted in a low voice: "Next, Mr. Yoder."
Jerry stepped in front of the Dementor. The Dementor stared at him coldly, as if considering what he would turn into next.
Jerry suddenly had a strange feeling, as if something was drilling into his brain, trying to see clearly the fear deep in his heart...
Immediately afterwards, the dementor let out a silent wail and exploded.
It exploded into thousands of plumes of smoke and disappeared in front of Jerry.
This sudden change shocked everyone, and people were whispering to each other and discussing what had just happened.
After being stunned for a moment, Lupine immediately reacted: "Very good, everyone, look, Mr. Yoder successfully eliminated this Boggart."
Lupine clapped vigorously, and led by him, people also clapped, and everyone looked at Jerry in admiration.
After drumming a few times, Lupine continued: "But I hope that next time you'd better use the method I taught you to deal with them."
Lupine did not dare to look Jerry in the eyes when he said these words.
When the Boggart exploded, Jerry was stunned for a moment.
However, he immediately remembered what the system had mentioned before. In order to hide the secrets of the time traveler and the system, all attempts to spy on his soul were invalid.
Whether it was Dementors or Boggarts, they all tried to arouse the fear deep in his soul.
Could it be that they really noticed something and were killed by the system?
……
After the Boggart disappeared, it was obvious that the class could not continue. After assigning them a paper on the characteristics of the Boggart, Professor Lupine ended the class early.
Most of the group, except Harry, were enthusiastic and agreed that it was the most interesting Defense Against the Dark Arts class they had ever had.
Harry was not so happy.
He fainted again during Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the news quickly spread throughout the school.
Although Malfoy was too lazy to trouble Harry, he obviously would not let go of such a good opportunity to ridicule.
"Hey, baby Potter, do you need us to get you a healer? Those monsters are still too dangerous for you."
"Go away!"
Harry pulled out his wand and glared at Malfoy.
He had a vague feeling that Malfoy had been defeated by him at some point.
If he was being ridiculed by Jerry, a young wizard who was recognized as the strongest in the school, then Harry wouldn't say anything. Who was Malfoy?
How dare he? !
"Potter, put down your wand. Ten points from Gryffindor for trying to attack a classmate."
Snape appeared in front of them at some point, glanced disdainfully at Harry's wand, and entered Lupin's office.
"..."
Harry was so angry that after giving Malfoy a stern look, he put his wand back into his sleeve and turned away.
Ron caught up with him, panting.
"Have you noticed? Malfoy rarely acts with Jerry now."
When he was with Jerry, Malfoy rarely messed with them.
Harry was thoughtful after hearing this: "Isn't Jerry always with Hermione recently?"
Ron showed a lewd smile: "Tell me, are the two of them - huh?"
"What?" Harry asked blankly.
"Just dating, dating!"
"Maybe."
Harry said unconcernedly.
The scandal between the two people began to circulate a long time ago, and it reached a peak after Jerry joined the "Learning Mutual Aid Group".
Many people have even become their "CP fans", such as the girl named Lavender.
Seeing Harry's dull reaction, Ron was also a little bored: "Hey... Generally speaking, the two of them are quite matched - it would be nice if Hermione could be more beautiful. The two of them always look good together." It feels uncoordinated..."
Ron stopped suddenly. Around the corner, Hermione was staring at him coldly, and Jerry beside her looked embarrassed.
"I'm not good-looking and I'm an eyesore to you. I'm really sorry."
Cold sweat fell from Ron's forehead.
"Ah... I didn't mean that... I mean, Hermione, you are actually quite good-looking. You will look better if you dress up..."
Looking at Hermione's fluffy hair and the huge schoolbag behind her, Ron seemed to have a sudden inspiration and gushed: "For example, you can make your hair a little smoother, and then buy one with a larger space and apply traceless The handbag of the Expansion Spell..."
"I don't need to worry about what I look like, Mr. Rollo." Hermione said expressionlessly, "Only vulgar men can judge the value of others by their appearance..."
As she said these words, her eyes were fixed on Jerry.
Jerry wanted to laugh - due to his outstanding performance in the Duel Card World Championship, many girls seemed to be pursuing Ron.
Ron finally chose a beautiful Hufflepuff girl, one level above him, a little careless, who often kept shouting "Lolo" and "Lolo" in public.
While being stared at by Hermione in horror, he hurriedly expressed his opinion: "You're right, just like you Hermione, you don't need to dress up to still have a kind of... intellectual beauty."
Hermione snorted and looked away.
"Let's go, the next class is about to start."
Watching the two people's backs disappear into the corner, Ron wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Harry.
"I remember there shouldn't be any other classes today, right?"
……
……
Time soon came to Monday again. In the divination class, Trelawney tearfully predicted Harry's death day as usual. She spent the rest of the time trying to persuade Jerry to participate in her improvement class.
So when the bell rang, Jerry almost ran away and rushed out of the classroom.
Still in that corner, Hermione put the time-turner chain around Jerry's neck and held the other end tightly.
When her hand touched the dial, the familiar feeling came again.
Before it even had time to touch the pointer, it automatically turned clockwise.
At the same time, Hermione seemed to step into a torrent of colors.
Until the power of the time turner was exhausted and it fell back into her hands, Hermione looked around and found that all the knight armors and oil paintings were gone, replaced by various slogans admonishing students to learn.
She returned to Hogwarts 20 years later!
Hermione seemed much more calm this time. She first cast a Disillusionment Charm on herself, and then walked down the stairs.
At one of the Y-intersections, she met Charlotte Crevat.
The girl was holding a rectangular card-like thing in her hand and was talking to it.
"...Well, I understand. Do as I say. I will apply to the principal for the budget..."
While Charlotte was chatting, she walked past Hermione without noticing her presence at all.
The thing in Charlotte's hand gave Hermione a familiar feeling inexplicably, reminding her of something called "Big Brother" that her father had used.
It's just that it's much more frivolous than "Big Brother".
Hermione hid against the wall and had no intention of meeting Charlotte.
It wasn't until Charlotte's figure disappeared from her sight that Hermione walked down the tower and came to the History of Magic classroom on the third floor of the castle.
Even after 20 years, the purpose of this classroom seems to have remained unchanged.
It's just that the person standing on the podium is no longer the teacher Hermione was familiar with, but a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
Hermione recognized the familiar horn glasses and red hair at a glance. This person was none other than Percy Weasley. His dream was to work in the Ministry of Magic, then be promoted to the top and control power.
I don’t know why, but 20 years later, Percy returned to Hogwarts as a lecturer in the History of Magic class.
Today, Percy was talking about the history of the Goblin War. Hermione listened to a few words and was about to turn around and leave.
She was already familiar with this period of history, and what she wanted to hear more was the history after she graduated, why Hogwarts was renamed the Imperial Academy of Magic, and what the so-called Emperor was about.
At this moment, a thunderous snoring suddenly came from beside Hermione, which startled her.
The students looked over one after another, but they did not see Hermione. Instead, they focused on a boy four or five seats away from Hermione.
The boy had light yellow hair, which inexplicably reminded Hermione of another boy.
The boy was lying on an open history of magic textbook, drooling all over the book.
"..."
Percy's face suddenly darkened. To Hermione's surprise, there was no deduction of points or other punishment. Percy just stood there and took a few deep breaths, then turned around again and wrote on the blackboard.
After a while, there was another snoring sound, this time the sound was louder than before, and the students all began to laugh secretly.
Percy finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly:
"Sonny!"
"Who...who is calling me?"
The boy climbed up from the table in a panic, with a confused look on his face.
Percy suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile: "Sonny... Your Highness, if you don't have enough sleep and need to rest, please go to the campus hospital or go back to the dormitory, and please don't disturb other students."
"Ah...did I get into trouble again?"
The boy's eyes were dazed, as if he hadn't woken up yet: "I'm sorry, teacher, I know I was wrong, please don't tell my mother, okay?"
Seeing the pitiful look on the boy's face, Percy was so angry that he could only sigh helplessly.
"I won't tell Your Highness Luna, but please cheer up, listen carefully, and don't disrupt the order of the class."
"I see, teacher!"
The boy named Sonny nodded seriously. After that, he did not continue to sleep, but it didn't look like he was listening to the class seriously.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the boy's eyes are dull and dull, and he is obviously wandering.
Even if Hermione quietly took out a book from his bag, she was not noticed.
It was a tome called "A Brief History of the Empire."
The editor was a guy named Ivan Greengrass.
"
At first, wizards and Muggles were separate, did not interfere with each other, and knew nothing about each other.
The wizard said: "Ah, Muggles are weak and ignorant. 】
Muggles said: "Ah, wizards are ignorant and short-sighted." 】
The Emperor said: "Although Muggles are weak, they have infinite potential. Although wizards are ignorant, they are naturally close to the source." 】
Wizards and Muggles were all convinced: "What great wisdom!"Only you can show us the way forward! 】
So people called him Emperor, and this was the birth of the Emperor.
"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"
……
The Emperor sat on his golden throne, lost in eternal thought.
It is an exploration that is nobler than the destiny of mankind and greater than the movement of the planet.
The stars will tremble on the day when the Emperor rises from the Golden Throne.
All mankind is looking forward to this day.
By then, the cheers will surely shake the sky.
Long live the empire!Long live the Emperor!
"
The first volume of "A Brief History of the Empire", "The Chronicles of the Emperor", describes the life of a man called the Emperor - from his birth to his final sitting on the Golden Throne. The book is filled with all kinds of praise.
In this era of imperial power, this approach does not seem surprising.
Hermione still felt a tingling sensation in her scalp, though.
Because the "Emperor" in the book has transcended the category of human beings and has become a being similar to a heavenly father or a saint.
Hermione had only seen similar descriptions in the Bible.
In addition to what Charlotte revealed before, the Emperor and Jerry seem to be inextricably linked...
Hermione was certain that the "Emperor" recorded in the book had nothing to do with the Jerry she knew.
At this moment, the time turner in Hermione's pocket began to buzz and tremble, and the hour hand was rotating counterclockwise at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Hermione was shocked when she saw this and quickly ran out of the classroom.
Second floor, first floor, field, Quidditch field...
On the original Quidditch pitch, a tall statue stood.
On the statue was a face that was very familiar to Hermione.
Under the statue is a small stone tablet with a line of small words written on it.
"No one can control fear except fear itself. - The Emperor"
