Chapter 331: Jerry Passes on the Technique (First Update)
Chapter 331: Jerry Passes on the Technique (First Update)
Meanwhile, at Azkaban Prison on North Sea Island.
Sirius Black, disheartened, was escorted by two Aurors into a particularly large cell, his hands and feet shackled with heavy chains.
Waiting for him in the cell were six Dementors.
"Black, it's because of you that the Ministry of Magic has been in a state of chaos. The Minister himself ordered that six Dementors guard you, to ensure you don't escape again!"
The two Aurors shut the iron door and left the specially constructed cell, far away from Sirius Black.
Even Aurors usually avoid spending too much time with Dementors.
Sirius Black silently lay down on the ground, seemingly resigned to his fate, waiting quietly for the Dementors to attack.
He knew that with his wand confiscated and the special enchantments on the shackles that reversed any transformation spells, he could no longer transform into a large black dog and escape Azkaban as he had before.
He never imagined that after evading so many Aurors and Dementors, just when he was about to exact revenge on his enemy, he would be taken down by a third-year young wizard.
Are third-year young wizards really that powerful now?
However, after waiting for a while, he realized that the Dementors had not attacked him. He sat up and looked in the direction of the six Dementors.
"What's going on here? Are they fighting among themselves, or something else?"
He saw that one of the six Dementors was being beaten by the other five, and these five Dementors showed no intention of attacking him.
It turned out that to capture Sirius Black, the Ministry of Magic had almost all the Dementors from Azkaban to assist. Only a few remained to guard the remaining prisoners with the Aurors.
The Dementors that the Ministry of Magic had sent away were all contracted by Jerry. Therefore, out of the six Dementors now guarding Sirius Black, five were under Jerry's control.
Jerry had given the Dementors a command through his contract magic: to protect Sirius Black's safety.
One month after Jerry captured Sirius Black, in the library.
Jerry put down a book about the Time-Turner and looked at Hermione, who appeared somewhat haggard, with concern.
"Why don't you use the Time-Turner to schedule a specific time for rest? Otherwise, your body will definitely not be able to handle it."
"I have, but for some reason, I still feel that my mind and body aren't recovering. Maybe after the next week's break, when I don't have classes and can stop using the Time-Turner for a while, I'll feel better."
Hermione put down her quill, looked up, and replied, her eyes slightly red.
"Could it be because of the time difference?"
Hearing Hermione's response, Jerry pondered.
While the Time-Turner has no limit on the number of uses, it does have a time limit, with the maximum being five hours.
So, even though you can use the Time-Turner to create a specific time for rest when you're tired, your body still won't recover normally due to the strain.
People are accustomed to working during the day and resting at night. If you ignore the day and night cycle and instead work for five hours, rest for five hours, work for another five hours, and rest for another five hours, you will still feel exhausted. This is because your body doesn't adapt to this pattern.
Even if the total rest time you get exceeds the usual eight hours of sleep, you will still feel tired because your body rejects this mode.
Additionally, you have to consider not running into your past or future self and not letting others notice multiple versions of yourself in the same time period. You also have to manage a dozen classes and a heavy workload.
Sometimes, the problem isn't a lack of physical rest but rather an inability to rest mentally and emotionally.
Additionally, Hermione is a girl, and at her age, she often experiences her menstrual cycle, which can be quite inconvenient, leading to her current state.
Jerry, on the other hand, is different. Because of the Eternal Life Technique, he only needs to meditate for a certain amount of time each day to fully restore both his body and mind, avoiding the issues Hermione faces.
"Hermione, come with me. I might be able to help you with this problem!"
After thinking for a moment, Jerry put the book back on the shelf and led the somewhat bewildered Hermione out of the library.
When they saw Jerry leave, a group of young witches in the library all showed expressions of regret and reluctance.
Ever since the Daily Prophet was delivered by an owl a month ago, all the young wizards at Hogwarts knew about Jerry's discovery and capture of Sirius Black.
They also learned that Jerry had created a new flying spell.
As a result, Jerry had become an idol to almost all the young wizards at Hogwarts, regardless of gender.
Even outside of Hogwarts, his reputation had surpassed that of many well-known witches.
Genius Quidditch Seeker, capturer of Sirius Black, creator of a new spell—these accolades and achievements had made Jerry a household name.
There were even rumors that the Order of Merlin was preparing to award Jerry the Order of Merlin, Third Class as encouragement.
If the rumors were true, Jerry would be the first student in Hogwarts history to receive the Order of Merlin, Third Class before even graduating.
"Jerry, what are you going to do? Isn't this a bit too soon?"
In an abandoned classroom on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle, Hermione watched as Jerry closed the door, her face turning red as she lowered her head and muttered.
Jerry used a Locking Charm to secure the door, then cast a Silencing Charm to ensure privacy. He turned to Hermione, looking a bit puzzled.
"What did you say, Hermione? I didn't quite hear you."
"Nothing, really. It's fine."
Hermione waved her hands hurriedly, her face even redder.
At this point, Jerry realized what Hermione was thinking and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He had brought Hermione here, locked the door, and cast the Silencing Charm not to do anything inappropriate but because he noticed that using the Time-Turner had overworked her, and her body was struggling to cope. He intended to teach her the Eternal Life Technique.
After all, every witch possesses a Wizard Bloodline that gradually develops with age until it is fully activated in adulthood.
Therefore, every witch in this world can directly meditate and practice the Eternal Life Technique, and they have a higher chance of breaking through the limits and achieving eternal life compared to those with normal magical aptitude.
Hermione, being a witch, is no exception.
"Hermione, listen carefully. I'm going to teach you a very important spell that can help you quickly restore both your body and mind and even enhance your magical power.
However, you must promise not to teach this spell to anyone without my permission. Can you do that?"
Jerry placed his hands on Hermione's shoulders, his expression serious.
