Chapter 569: Dumbledore's Meeting (Second Update)
Chapter 569: Dumbledore's Meeting (Second Update)
"This is something I bought by chance from some black market merchants during my holiday. I thought you might like it."
Jerry focused, and three dragon eggs floated to Hagrid's front.
Back then, he had taken one dragon egg from Hagrid, and now he was returning three, which was a way to make amends.
"I love this gift, Jerry. Thank you, thank you!"
Hagrid carefully held the three dragon eggs, as if afraid they would fall and break.
His voice was choppy and emotional from the excitement.
"It's nothing, nothing. Just remember to keep them in the forbidden forest, and be careful they don't escape. Otherwise, the Ministry of Magic will send someone to take them away."
Seeing Hagrid on the verge of tears, Jerry quickly gave a few instructions and hurried off.
He was afraid that if Hagrid put down the dragon eggs, he might hug Jerry and cry, which would be too much to handle.
Don't let Hagrid's tall, muscular frame fool you; he is actually a gentle soul with a very sensitive and emotional nature, easily moved to tears.
After dinner in the Great Hall, Jerry was about to take a walk with Hermione to digest their meal when Snape called him over.
"Jerry, come with me."
"Headmaster, are we going to see Professor Dumbledore?"
Jerry noticed that after Snape called him, they didn't head to the Slytherin headmaster's office in the dungeons but instead continued up the stairs. He immediately understood.
Snape gave Jerry a complex look, then unusually gently said:
"Yes, the headmaster wants to talk to you. Don't worry, just be honest with him."
Honestly, Snape's feelings about Jerry being Witchj were quite mixed.
On one hand, he was worried that Jerry, at such a young age, had been involved in so many dangerous situations. On the other hand, he was proud that Slytherin had produced such a talented and powerful witch.
However, it was also a bit of a blow to him that Jerry's magical abilities had already far surpassed his own in just three years.
On the eighth floor of the castle, they stood before the gargoyle.
"Strawberry jumping candy!"
Snape spoke the password, and the gargoyle moved aside, revealing a slowly ascending spiral staircase.
"I won't go in; the headmaster wants to talk to you alone."
Jerry nodded.
"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore!"
Walking up the stairs into the office, Jerry saw Dumbledore knitting a sweater and greeted him gracefully.
Dumbledore set aside the nearly finished sweater and replied with a kind smile:
"Good evening, Mr. Carmen!"
"Is there something you wanted to talk about, Headmaster?"
After some pleasantries, Jerry picked up the drink that Dumbledore had the house-elf prepare and sipped it lightly.
Dumbledore observed Jerry for a moment before tentatively asking:
"Have you heard of a person named Witchj?"
"Are you talking about me?"
Hearing Dumbledore's probing question, Jerry knew his disguise had been exposed. Rather than hide, he transformed using body transformation magic, taking on the appearance of Witchj, the seer who had visited Sirius Black.
Dumbledore's face showed surprise as he looked at Jerry's completely changed appearance.
"I never thought that, besides natural Metamorphmagi, there could be Magic to achieve such a complete body transformation. It seems you've created quite a few new spells."
He was not surprised that it was Jerry or Witchj; he had been more than ninety percent certain about that. What astonished him was the Magic Jerry was now using, which could completely alter one's appearance.
Currently, in the Witch world, only natural Metamorphmagi could freely change their appearance, and there was no Magic that could match the effects of Metamorphmagi.
The Magic Jerry used was likely created by himself, just like the portkey.
"Headmaster, I suspect this is what you truly care about!"
With another wave of his hand, Jerry restored his original appearance and then reached out to pick up the Matryoshka Doll that sealed Voldemort.
The body transformation magic he learned was from his time in Fairy Tail; previously, he had only used illusion transformation.
However, this was not important, as he knew the true focus of Dumbledore's meeting with him.
Sure enough, when Dumbledore saw the Matryoshka Doll containing all of Voldemort's soul fragments, his expression turned serious.
He carefully picked up the doll, examined it for a while, and then sighed deeply:
"Never would I have thought that Tom would ultimately be sealed by you. I doubt even he could have imagined that someone more talented than him would appear in this world."
"Headmaster, if you are concerned, you can keep it here. I first discovered him in my first year from Professor Quirrell, and then I followed the trail to learn about him, found those Horcruxes, and sealed them all."
Jerry smiled and pushed the Matryoshka Doll back to Dumbledore, who had placed it on the table.
Voldemort's soul was no longer of much use to him, so it didn't matter whether he gave it to Dumbledore or not.
Dumbledore blinked and pushed the doll back:
"No wonder Quirrell never showed up again. However, I think it's better if you keep it. I'm retiring in a month, and I can't expect an old man about to retire to worry about these matters!"
When Quirrell, possessed by Voldemort, disappeared, he had his suspicions. He never imagined it was Jerry who had taken action.
Thinking back, Jerry was only in his first year, having studied Magic for less than a year, and yet he had managed to deal with Quirrell and Voldemort's fragmented soul. Truly, an incredible magical talent.
"Retire? Headmaster, you're retiring?"
The usually composed Jerry showed a rare look of surprise on his face.
He had not considered this at all.
In the original story, Dumbledore remained the headmaster of Hogwarts until his death.
"Yes, with Voldemort's problem resolved and me being over a hundred and ten years old, it's time for me to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. I will announce this when the other two schools visit in October, and your headmaster will take over my position."
Dumbledore replied with a contented look, sipping a sweet drink.
Once he confirmed that Voldemort's soul was indeed completely sealed by Jerry, the heavy burden on his shoulders was finally lifted.
Now, he only wanted to complete his last bit of work and then retire to the life he had always wanted.
