Chapter 570: Magic Bracelet (Third Update)

Jerry was slightly taken aback:

"Professor Snape is going to be the new Headmaster!"

The idea of Snape taking over as Headmaster had genuinely surprised him. In the original story, Snape became Headmaster because he was a double agent, which allowed him to better protect the school during Voldemort's reign.

Now that Voldemort was sealed away, Jerry hadn't expected Dumbledore to choose Snape over Mcgonagall.

However, it wasn't a bad thing. Snape had helped him a lot, and he was quite hopeful that Snape would become the Headmaster.

"Jerry, would you be willing to help your Head of House with a favor?"

Seeing Jerry's initial surprise at the news of Snape's appointment, followed by a smile of joy, Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he asked.

Jerry was taken aback for a moment:

"Of course, no problem. What does Professor need me to do?"

"I think he might be too embarrassed to ask, so I'll say it for him."

Dumbledore pretended to cough, then slowly continued:

"I hope you can represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament and help the school win the Goblet of Fire!"

"???"

Jerry was completely bewildered.

He didn't quite understand what Dumbledore meant.

Seeing Jerry's confusion, Dumbledore smiled and explained:

"The Triwizard Tournament, restarting after a century, will undoubtedly draw the attention of the entire witch community. If Hogwarts can win the tournament with an overwhelming advantage, it will be a great help for Severus, who has just taken over as Headmaster.

Moreover, you are Severus's most accomplished student. If this is reported, the effect will be even better!"

After Dumbledore's explanation, Jerry immediately understood his point.

It was similar to how Emperor Qianlong left the corrupt official Heshen to his son Jiaqing, who promptly confiscated Heshen's wealth and executed him upon ascending the throne. This not only filled the imperial treasury but also demonstrated his competence.

By passing the Headmaster's position to Snape before the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore aimed to ensure that Snape would start his tenure with a shining achievement, silencing any potential opposition.

"However, the minimum age for participating in the Triwizard Tournament is seventeen, and I don't meet that requirement."

Jerry shrugged.

Although he was actually older than seventeen, Dumbledore likely saw him as only fourteen, which did not meet the tournament's requirements.

Dumbledore, however, wore a sly smile in response to Jerry's question:

"When the time comes, we, the referees, will set a powerful age-restricting magic around the Goblet of Fire to prevent witches under seventeen from entering their names.

However, if someone can break this magic and enter their name, and is then chosen by the Goblet, even we, the referees, cannot change the name of the champion.

This is a long-standing tradition of the Triwizard Tournament."

Dumbledore's meaning was clear: if Jerry could break the magic and enter his name, age would no longer be an issue.

In previous tournaments, there were no age restrictions. Even first-years could participate if they were chosen.

The age limit was only introduced to reduce the risk of fatalities when the Ministry of Magic revived the tournament.

Dumbledore was confident that Jerry could break the age-restricting magic.

"Alright, I have no problem with it!"

In the end, Jerry nodded and agreed to Dumbledore's request.

Helping Snape and bringing glory to Hogwarts—these were things he was willing to do.

Several days after the conversation with Dumbledore.

Over the past few days, Jerry, like any other student at Hogwarts, attended classes, had meals, slept, and completed homework.

When he had free time, he would often go to the library with Hermione to read books, or sit on the grass by the Black Lake, basking in the sun while discussing magic.

Their relationship, which was not entirely pure to begin with, had become even less so.

What was once a thin layer of pretense had now been punctured with holes, leaving only the final step of admitting their feelings to each other.

However, there was a more troubling issue: Jerry's prominence often drew the attention of his fans, who would frequently interrupt the two when they were alone together.

To address this, Jerry spent some time upgrading the Muggle-Repelling Charm.

The principle behind the Muggle-Repelling Charm is that non-magical Muggles, upon encountering the charm's vibrations, would subconsciously ignore the area and be compelled to look away.

Jerry's upgraded version not only shielded Muggles but also witches with magical power.

However, he set a boundary: witches with a certain level of magical power and those he specifically designated would not be affected.

This way, professors at the school and friends like Hermione and Harry would not be impacted.

"Here, for you!"

On Sunday afternoon, in the Hogwarts library, Jerry took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Hermione, who was reading about house-elf history.

Recently, Hermione had learned about the slave-like conditions of house-elves and was deeply upset. She had been researching the topic, hoping to help the unfortunate house-elves.

"What is it?"

Hermione looked up from the thick history book, clearly puzzled by the small box in front of her.

Jerry smiled.

"Today is September 19th, your birthday. This is your birthday gift."

"Oh, right, it's my birthday today. I almost forgot. Thank you, Jerry!"

Hermione picked up the box, her face lighting up with surprise.

"What a beautiful bracelet!"

Inside the box, a pair of intricately crafted silver bracelets lay before her.

"Do you like it?"

Jerry asked, setting aside the magic books he was reading.

"I love it!"

Hermione reached for the bracelet, but Jerry stopped her with a raised hand.

"This isn't an ordinary bracelet. It's a magic bracelet I made using Alchemy. When you wear it, some interesting changes will occur. It might not be appropriate to try it on here."

"Then I'll try it on when I get back to my room."

Hermione nodded eagerly, closed the box, and carefully placed it in her small book bag.

She knew Jerry's Alchemy skills were exceptional. The necklace she wore around her neck, which improved her study efficiency, was a gift from Jerry last year.

So, she was naturally excited about this beautiful magic bracelet.
