Chapter 550: Reunion with Hermione (Second Update)
Chapter 550: Reunion with Hermione (Second Update)
"This is... a book about spatial magic!"
Féi quickly flipped through the contents of the magic book, his eyes widening in disbelief.
According to the book, using this portal magic would allow one to travel to any place in the world, even places they had never been to before.
"Can this portal magic really be achieved?"
Féi held the magic book, his face showing excitement.
If this portal magic could indeed be realized, it would be far superior to all the current methods of transportation used by witches and wizards.
Floo powder requires the Floo Network, broomsticks are too slow, portkeys are point-to-point, and apparition has distance limitations. Portals, on the other hand, have none of these drawbacks and can transport multiple people at once.
If the theories in this magic book could be realized, it would definitely be a bestseller.
"Of course it can!"
Jerry casually drew a fire circle in the office and gestured for Féi to step through it.
Féi didn't dare to step through the fire circle directly but instead stretched his head forward curiously, wanting to see what was on the other side.
What met his eyes was a massive mountain peak and a vast expanse of snow. Before he could react, a gust of wind swept a flurry of snow towards him, knocking him back into the office.
Jerry quickly waved his hand to close the portal.
He was afraid that if he was any slower, the entire office would have been filled with snow.
"Oh, Merlin, it's so cold! Where was that?"
Féi brushed the snow off his body and shivered as he stood up.
"Mount Everest."
Jerry smiled.
Féi was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Jerry had not only turned the magic concept into reality but could also open a portal to such a distant place.
Mount Everest was far outside the United Kingdom.
"Fantastic, Mr. Carmen. Your magic book will be available in all our bookstores within a week. We will handle the promotional activities, and the profits will be deposited in Gringotts according to our previous agreement."
Féi became even more enthusiastic after realizing the potential of the spatial magic book. Proposing a new concept was already impressive, but actually making it work was even more remarkable.
"You can handle it."
Jerry nodded and left without further delay.
Portal magic was indeed superior to other methods of transportation used by witches and wizards, but it wasn't without its weaknesses.
It was more complex to learn than apparition, and if one couldn't master apparition, they wouldn't stand a chance with portals.
However, learning portal magic wasn't particularly dangerous. At least, there was no risk of splinching if one practiced without guidance.
He had decided to publish the magic book on portals because, according to the Ministry of Magic's laws, he wasn't allowed to use apparition at his age.
Since he couldn't legally use apparition, he would invent a portal.
This way, even in public, where he couldn't legally use apparition, he could still use portals for convenient travel.
As the creator of this groundbreaking portal magic, the Ministry of Magic surely wouldn't prevent him from using it.
"Uh... Mr. Storekeeper, did you use a weather charm in the office?"
After Jerry left, Fel immediately called the shop assistant into the office. The assistant's face immediately showed a puzzled expression upon seeing the office floor covered in snow.
August 22nd, 5:00 AM.
Outside the Granger Dental Clinic in the outskirts of London, a fire circle appeared out of nowhere.
A handsome young man dressed in a classic British style walked out, none other than Jerry, who had opened a portal directly from the Leaky Cauldron.
"This is Hermione's family dental clinic. It looks pretty good."
"Jerry, wait for me, I'll be right down!"
Just as Jerry had shut off the portal, a clear and somewhat excited young girl's voice came from a small window on the second floor of the clinic.
Jerry looked up and saw Hermione, who had grown quite a bit, wearing a pink strapless nightgown, waving enthusiastically from the window.
Today was the day of the quadrennial Quidditch World Cup final, and Jerry had written to Hermione days in advance to plan their trip together.
"No rush, take your time!"
Seeing Hermione, Jerry was momentarily stunned, then smiled and waved back.
This was their first meeting in twenty years, and his once calm heart finally began to stir with emotion.
At that moment, he seemed to understand what he had been missing.
If before, he had only had a slight fondness for Hermione, after this twenty-year separation and reunion, that fondness had grown significantly.
It was like you had been working for over a decade, and suddenly you met the girl who had always sat next to you in junior high, and she was still the same as she had been back then.
About ten minutes later, Hermione, wearing a purple T-shirt and blue jeans, with a single ponytail, carefully pushed open the dental clinic door and walked out.
"Long time no see, Hermione. How was your holiday?"
Seeing Hermione come out, Jerry smiled and asked.
Hermione, in three quick steps, rushed over and gave him a big hug.
"I've been doing well. I read a lot of books during the summer, but I missed you!"
Realizing that her words might have been a bit too direct, Hermione's face turned red, and she quickly added,
"And Harry, Ron, and Ginny too."
"Cough, cough. Me too."
Releasing Hermione, Jerry coughed a couple of times to ease the suddenly awkward atmosphere, then drew a portal to the Quidditch World Cup final venue.
"Harry and Ron should be on their way. Let's go!"
"So the news in the Daily Prophet a while ago was true. You really did develop a form of Spatial Magic that's even more convenient than Apparition!"
Seeing Jerry use portal magic, Hermione's eyes lit up.
"You never cease to amaze me!"
Seeing Hermione, who had been slightly shy a moment ago, immediately shift her full attention to the magic, Jerry couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"By the way, this is for you. It has a lot of annotations. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."
Pulling Hermione through the portal, Jerry took out the book he had prepared, "Conjectures and Applications of Long-Distance Portals", and handed it to her.
Having spent three years together, Jerry understood Hermione's character well.
Perhaps it was precisely because of Hermione's character that he felt more fondness for her than for others.
