Chapter 600: Hermione's Aspirations (Third Update)
Chapter 600: Hermione's Aspirations (Third Update)
Upon hearing this, Peter Parker quickly extended his hand to shake Jerry's, speaking somewhat awkwardly and politely:
"Mr. Carmen, hello. I'm Peter Parker. I often hear Aisha mention you. I heard you're about to graduate from Columbia University. That's really impressive. I also have a university I want to attend, but..."
On the other side, Has, who hadn't been paying much attention, suddenly became sharp-eyed when he heard the words "often" and "very close." He fixed his gaze firmly on Peter.
His son being in a relationship near the end of his university studies was something to celebrate, but his daughter, still in high school, being in a relationship was a matter that required heightened vigilance.
Although Jerry was only one year older than Aisha, if Jerry and Hermione were to have an unexpected pregnancy, he would be happy to arrange their wedding right away.
But if Aisha were to have an unexpected pregnancy, he would definitely kill the guy who got his daughter pregnant.
"You two keep chatting. Hermione and I are going out for a bit!"
Seeing the right moment, Jerry ignored the talkative Peter, nodded to Has and Belle, and pulled Hermione, who was still a bit confused, out of the hospital room.
Seeing this, Aisha tried to pull Peter to follow, but Has, who had stood up, grabbed her shoulder from behind:
"Aisha, Peter, I think we should have a serious talk about teenage dating."
Aisha and Peter: "????"
"Jerry, why do I feel like your sister knows me?"
Outside the hospital, Hermione asked Jerry, a bit puzzled.
Jerry smiled:
"I used to use your appearance as a superhero, and she's now part of the Avengers. It's normal that she recognizes you.
Don't worry about it. If she greets you next time, just respond normally.
Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll show you around this world."
With that, he opened a portal.
Hermione nodded, not pressing for more details. After all, she had just come from the Christmas ball at Hogwarts to this world's New York. That was already a lot to take in.
Stepping through the portal, the two appeared at a bustling crossroads.
The colorful neon lights, street performers, giant screens playing news, music videos, and TV shows, and the lavishly decorated malls and theaters instantly captivated Hermione's attention.
While it wasn't as awe-inspiring as her first glimpse of Hogwarts Castle, it certainly showed her the progress of the Muggle world over the past two decades.
At the same time, she couldn't help but imagine what the Wizarding world would be like in twenty years.
After some thought, she concluded that given the current state of the Wizarding world, it might not change at all.
"Where are we?"
"Times Square in New York."
Thus, Jerry led Hermione through the most vibrant streets of New York, introducing her to the developments of the modern world—the advanced computers, global systems, satellite surveillance, and various high-tech weapons.
However, as Jerry spoke, Hermione's expression gradually grew serious.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just thinking about how, if our world's Muggles develop technology like this over the next twenty years, they might discover the existence of the Wizarding world.
As you said, advanced technology is just as powerful as magic.
If Muggles discover a large number of wizards and witches, what would they do? Would they declare war on the Wizarding world?"
Hermione looked at the bustling Times Square in New York, her face tinged with worry as she asked Jerry.
Jerry looked back at Hermione:
"Hermione, if there were ever a war between witches and muggles in the future, which side would you choose?"
"Which side? I’m a witch, so I should stand with the witches. But my family are muggles, so if possible, I hope that witches and muggles can always live in peace.
However, the Ministry of Magic isn’t doing well in many areas right now. Many witches have deeply flawed beliefs, like how they treat house-elves.
Witches treat them like slaves and constantly feed them false ideas. They also look down on muggles, and I think that’s wrong."
Hermione thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
Jerry silently sighed in his heart. No wonder Hermione would become the Minister of Magic in the future. Even as a student, she was already thinking about these issues.
This must be what they call a "big picture" perspective!
Harry and Ron never thought about these things, and most young wizards wouldn’t consider them either. They just assumed everything was as it should be and that following the law was enough.
"Jerry, maybe after I graduate, I should follow Percy’s path and join the Ministry of Magic. I want to become a high-ranking official, preferably the Minister, so I can change the unjust laws in the Ministry.
I want to find ways to change the witches' prejudice against muggles.
Perhaps in the future, witches can be like the superheroes in this world, helping muggles develop and ensuring we live in peace."
Hermione suddenly seemed to understand something and grabbed Jerry’s arm, her voice filled with excitement.
Seeing Hermione’s excitement, Jerry smiled:
"I suggest you familiarize yourself with the changes in the muggle world over the years. Although it’s a different world, the overall development is similar.
This could be helpful for your future role as Minister of Magic."
Jerry naturally supported what Hermione wanted to do.
Just as he didn’t oppose Aisha’s decision to become a superhero, he supported Hermione’s desire to join the Ministry of Magic after graduation, improve the laws, and foster better relations between witches and muggles.
He would even offer help when needed.
He believed that having goals and ideals in life was a good thing, even a fortunate one.
He had his own goal: to become strong enough that even the Dimensional Deities of the Main World couldn’t pose a threat to him, strong enough to unravel the secrets of the Panel and his presence here.
"Jerry, let’s go to the library. I’m sure there are many books there that document the history and development of recent years."
Hermione’s eyes lit up at Jerry’s suggestion.
But Jerry pulled Hermione and opened a portal directly.
"No need. To learn about knowledge in this era, you don’t have to go to the library. I’ll take you to a friend who should have what you need."
