Chapter 215: The Learned Jerry (Fourth Update)

"So that's how it is!"

Jerry nodded. No wonder the Weasley family, despite being a prominent pure-blood family, lived in such poverty. It wasn't just because they had many children; they had also been disowned by the family.

Indeed, that era was when pure-blood ideology was at its peak. Arthur, as a scion of a prominent pure-blood family, was actually close to Muggles, which naturally led to his ostracization, much like Sirius Black.

However, just by looking at the entire construction of the Burrow, one could see that Arthur's Alchemy was indeed exceptional. An ordinary witch wouldn't be able to use magic to build such a house.

It seems that Arthur's habit of using Alchemy to modify Muggle items had been around for a long time. In the past, he modified houses, and now he's tackling more complex things like cars.

"Jerry, Hermione, Harry, I'll call George, Fred, and Ginny. Let's go play Quidditch in the hills behind the house!"

In the yard of the Burrow, Ron caught a goblin wreaking havoc in the vegetable patch. Ignoring its curses, he stunned it and threw it out into the garden.

"Never mind, you go ahead. I think I'll sit in the living room for a while!"

What's so great about Quidditch? Jerry had no interest in dominating weaker opponents. He just wanted to get closer to the Weasleys and see if he could learn more about Alchemy from them.

"Alright!"

Hearing that Jerry didn't want to play Quidditch, Ron looked disappointed.

Playing Quidditch with a national professional player was a great honor, especially since Jerry was a Quidditch legend at school.

"I won't go either. You know, I'm not very good at Quidditch!"

Hermione also declined Ron's invitation.

She came to the Burrow mainly to see the magical house, not to play Quidditch. She could watch Quidditch at school, and besides, she wasn't good at it. She would only end up sitting on the ground watching Ron and the others play.

Of course, the main reason was that Jerry wasn't going.

Ron, a Quidditch enthusiast, had his room plastered with posters of the Chudley Cannons, an Irish Quidditch team. Ginny, at six years old, had already started sneaking her brothers' broomsticks, and later became a professional Quidditch player.

Harry and the Weasley brothers were currently members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

So, the group eagerly grabbed their broomsticks and headed to the small hill.

Meanwhile, Jerry and Hermione returned to the living room of the Burrow.

In the living room, Arthur was discussing Muggle science with Mr. Granger, such as how cars can move without the use of magic, their sources of power, and how they operate.

Mr. Granger tried to explain as best he could with his limited knowledge.

It was 1992, and the spread of information wasn't as rapid as it is today. As a dentist, Mr. Granger had only a basic understanding of science and couldn't explain more detailed or technical aspects.

Moreover, Arthur's way of thinking was that of a witch, and he lacked knowledge of many basic terms, making it even harder to communicate.

So, their conversation was quite challenging at times.

Sometimes, it felt like they were talking past each other.

"Mr. Weasley, Muggles don't have magical power, and they can't learn magic. Therefore, most of their products require an external source of power, primarily electricity, and secondarily, gasoline and other fuels."

At this moment, Jerry stepped in and interjected.

Jerry, who had lived in the 21st century in his previous life, was reborn into the Marvel world, where black technology was ubiquitous. His understanding of science was far ahead of his time in this era.

Moreover, as a Witch with the Magic of three different worlds, his grasp of the essence of Magic was much deeper than that of an average Witch.

Thus, his intervention instantly made the conversation between Arthur and Mr. Granger flow much more smoothly.

He could translate some of Arthur’s Magic concepts into more modern terms for Mr. Granger, and he could also explain some Muggle world knowledge in a way that was more familiar to Witches.

Most importantly, Jerry could delve deeper into the interpretation, which was truly impressive.

As they talked, both Arthur and Mr. Granger found themselves amazed by Jerry's extensive knowledge, despite his young age.

Hermione, standing nearby, had stars in her eyes.

Hermione idolized Gilderoy Lockhart because he was a highly knowledgeable and experienced author. At that moment, Jerry was displaying similar qualities.

"Jerry, I only heard from Harry and Ron that you excel in your studies at school and have a remarkable talent for Quidditch, but I never imagined you would be so well-versed in the Muggle world!"

Arthur looked at Jerry with amazement.

Jerry smiled in response.

"I was born in a Muggle orphanage, and I enjoy reading Muggle-related books in my free time. Personally, I believe Muggles are very impressive. Their inventions are also remarkable.

After all, they don’t have Magic or magical power, yet they can create things that Magic cannot. We should acknowledge their excellence rather than constantly belittle them."

Arthur's eyes lit up instantly.

"Jerry, I find it hard to believe you were sorted into Slytherin!"

In Arthur's mind, Slytherin Witches were often arrogant, even looking down on half-bloods, and they had a disdain for Muggles. It was rare for a Slytherin Witch to acknowledge the excellence of Muggles.

"I believe that as a Slytherin Witch, the goal should be to become more excellent, not to deny the excellence of others. That’s why I’ve always been learning about Muggle knowledge!"

At that moment, Jerry, sitting in his chair, seemed particularly radiant.

"By the way, Uncle Arthur, can I ask if the large clock in the living room is one of your creations?"

Jerry pointed to the large clock in the living room, which was particularly eye-catching.

Unlike ordinary Muggle clocks, this clock had no time markings. Instead, it had nine golden needles, each representing a member of the Weasley family. Behind each needle, it displayed their current status.

For example, Percy’s needle read "reading in the room", Ron and Ginny’s needles read "playing Quidditch on the hill", Arthur’s read "chatting in the living room", and Mrs. Weasley’s read "cooking in the kitchen."

"Oh, yes, that’s one of my proudest creations over the years. It uses a lot of Alchemy techniques and some obscure Magic."

When the topic turned to the living room clock, Arthur became immediately enthusiastic and began explaining its principles in great detail.

Jerry, meanwhile, translated for Mr. Granger while listening intently.
