Chapter 307: Spatial Rifts (First Update)

"Next stop, Leaky Cauldron!"

The driver, Ern Plan, shouted and slammed his foot on the accelerator. The Knight Bus immediately sprang to life, reaching its top speed without any gradual acceleration.

The sudden change from stillness to motion created a powerful inertia inside the bus. However, Jerry's physical strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person. He simply reached out and grabbed the bedpost beside him, easily stabilizing himself.

This caused Stan, sitting in the armchair at the front, to marvel. No wonder Jerry was the best Seeker; the speed of his bodily reactions was definitely not something a typical Witch could match.

"Is this... spatial magic?"

Once he had steadied himself, Jerry began to observe the Knight Bus and quickly noticed something unusual.

The Knight Bus was traveling at an incredible speed, so fast that anyone with poor eyesight might not be able to see the scenery outside clearly. Moreover, it never needed to slow down.

Whenever the Knight Bus encountered pedestrians, vehicles, street lamps, mailboxes, or trash bins, all obstacles would automatically move out of the way and return to their original positions after the bus passed.

Jerry immediately realized that the Knight Bus was using extremely advanced spatial magic. It wasn't entirely traveling on the real roads but was moving through spatial rifts.

All objects that blocked the Knight Bus's path seemed to be pushed aside, not because they actually moved, but because the bus entered the spatial rifts, making it appear as though they were pushed to the sides. In reality, nothing changed in the physical world.

This was why people couldn't detect the Knight Bus and why it could travel so fast.

Moreover, riding the Knight Bus gave a sensation similar to Apparition, a dizzying feeling. It seemed that Witches couldn't Apparate the entire bus, so they had developed a similar spatial principle to create a high-level spatial magic that allowed the Knight Bus to travel through spatial rifts and move quickly.

However, this differed from what Jerry had seen in the movies.

In the films, the Knight Bus traveled on the roads and had to avoid pedestrians. If someone blocked the way, the bus would stop and wait. To overtake other vehicles, it would use spatial magic to shrink its body and pass through, sometimes even slowing down time during the process.

In reality, from the moment Jerry boarded the bus until it arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, the Knight Bus did not exhibit any time-related characteristics. Instead, it directly traveled through spatial rifts, avoiding any obstacles on the road.

Perhaps this was one of the differences between the original novel and the adapted films!

In less than two minutes, the Knight Bus covered a distance that would take an ordinary car an hour to travel, stopping at the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron.

When Jerry stepped off the Knight Bus, he felt a bit disappointed, as he hadn't experienced any time magic. However, he could still accept it.

After all, the method of traveling through spatial rifts on the Knight Bus gave him a lot of inspiration. He realized for the first time that spatial magic could be used in such a way.

However, the fact that this new form of spatial magic wasn't widely used as a means of transportation by Witches likely indicated significant drawbacks.

Based on Jerry's current understanding of spatial magic, he believed that this method of direct travel through spatial rifts probably required an extremely tough body.

Just as a poorly executed Apparition could result in being cut by spatial forces, leading to missing limbs, this method of traveling through spatial rifts would likely be too much for an ordinary human body to withstand.

But for Jerry, this wasn't a problem.

If he can master the technique of spatial movement and apply it to alchemy, he can use it on the twelve robot soldiers.

Or, once his physical strength is strong enough, he might be able to enter the spatial rifts directly for rapid travel.

With enough practice, he can also use it in combat, which would be a viable option.

Magic is full of endless possibilities. As long as one uses imagination and acquires enough magical knowledge, many things can be achieved.

Seeing the Knight Bus disappear into a spatial rift again, Jerry finished his thoughts, turned around, and pushed open the door to the familiar Leaky Cauldron.

The Leaky Cauldron looked the same as always, but with the school year about to start, many young witches were shopping in Diagon Alley, so there were more customers than usual.

"Sirius Black!"

As Jerry walked into the Leaky Cauldron, he hadn't even made it to the counter to book a room when he saw a prominent wanted poster on a bar pillar.

The target of the warrant was Sirius Black, who had escaped from Azkaban Prison.

"Black is one of the most evil Death Eaters in Azkaban. We are doing everything in our power to recapture Black and have informed the Muggle Prime Minister to assist us. Therefore, please remain calm, Witch Community.

If you see Sirius Black, immediately notify the Ministry of Magic. We will offer a 10,000 Galleon reward upon his arrest!"

In the center of the poster was a gaunt, disheveled man with long, messy hair, roaring angrily, looking very much like an escaped murderer.

Below the moving photograph was a statement from the Ministry of Magic.

"The Ministry of Magic sure has money!"

Seeing the reward offered by the Ministry of Magic, Jerry's mind raced with a good idea.

Sirius Black is Harry's godfather, the best friend of Harry's father, and a former member of the Order of the Phoenix, who was falsely accused by Peter Pettigrew and imprisoned as a Death Eater.

Now, he has escaped because he saw the Weasley family's lottery-winning photo in the newspaper, where Peter Pettigrew had transformed into Scabbers the rat.

Jerry definitely plans to help the falsely accused Sirius Black, but he doesn't intend to waste the 10,000 Galleon reward.

While his box dimension contains many valuable herbs, and he has been practicing potion-making, producing several high-grade potions, he needs them for personal use and selling them all could flood the market and lower the prices of herbs and potions.

The Witch community is not large, and the Ministry of Magic's 10,000 Galleon reward is essentially free money for him, so he might as well take it.

Most importantly, if he plays his cards right, he can not only claim the 10,000 Galleon reward but also boost his reputation in the Witch community.

It's a win-win situation.

"Jerry!"

Just as Jerry was about to pass by the wanted poster and check into a room, a surprised voice called out from the staircase.

"Long time no see, Harry!"

Jerry looked up and greeted the taller Harry with a smile.
