Chapter 626: Spell Inventor Jerry (Second Update)

After Hermione was called away by Professor Mcgonagall, Jerry, Harry, and Ron walked along the long wooden bridge toward the tower. The central tower was the main tower, while the two side towers served as viewing platforms for the young witches.

"Jerry, we'll be cheering for you!"

At the fork, Harry and Ron waved to Jerry and ran toward the right tower, where the Gryffindor students were gathering.

Jerry smiled and nodded, continuing toward the main tower.

As soon as he stepped onto the main tower, he saw a table draped in a golden tablecloth in the most prominent position. Behind the table were five seats.

Clearly, these were the seats for the five referees.

However, only four of the seats were occupied; Dumbledore was not there.

Jerry knew that Dumbledore was likely casting a special spell to allow Hermione and the others to survive underwater.

In addition to the referees, the main tower was also occupied by the Hogwarts faculty, including Headmaster Snape, the new Potions professor Foster, Madam Pomfrey for emergency assistance, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and Hagrid, among others.

Fleur and Krum, the other two champions, had arrived much earlier and had been waiting for some time.

"Your most beloved treasures have been placed in the Black Lake. The second task is to find and safely bring your treasures to shore within one hour.

The champion who completes this task in the shortest time will receive the highest score.

There are fifteen minutes left before the task begins. You can use this time to prepare.

Let me warn you, the Black Lake is home to many mermaids and their pet Grindylows. Make sure to have your wands ready!"

Referee and announcer Ludo, seeing that all three champions were present, loudly explained the specifics of the second task.

The young witches on the side towers began to discuss the task once they heard the details.

Most of them had no idea what the second task would be.

To them, finding something in such a vast lake while avoiding attacks from mermaids and Grindylows seemed like a daunting challenge.

Fleur and Krum had already solved the Golden Egg's secret with the help of the headmasters and were well-prepared, both in terms of the magic they would use and their attire.

Krum and Fleur removed their long witch robes, revealing swimwear suitable for underwater movement, and began their pre-dive warm-up exercises.

The young witches on the side towers, seeing this, stopped discussing the task and turned their attention to the champions, letting out cheers and whistles.

Both Krum and Fleur had their own supporters, or more accurately, fans. Seeing their idols in swimwear, warming up, was enough to excite anyone.

Of course, as the home team champion, Jerry had the most fans, especially female fans, not just from Hogwarts but also from the other two schools.

Unfortunately, when the young witches eagerly turned their gaze toward Jerry, hoping he would also remove his witch robes and stand in swim trunks for a warm-up, Jerry showed no intention of doing so. Instead, he stood elegantly to the side, watching Krum and Fleur's warm-up with the others.

After the disappointment, everyone suddenly felt a new wave of worry.

Krum and Fleur had clearly solved the mystery of the golden egg, so they had even prepared their swimwear in advance.

However, Jerry had not prepared any swimwear. Could it be that he hadn't solved the golden egg's secret?

"Have you not solved the golden egg's secret?"

Fleur, after warming up, directly asked Jerry, who was standing there.

In her mind, the golden egg should not have been a challenge for Jerry. Although she had received help from Madame Maxime to solve the golden egg, it was only to speed up the process so she could prepare and practice the necessary spells in advance. Even without the headmistress's help, she could have solved the golden egg's secret, albeit more slowly.

Given that Jerry's strength far surpassed hers and Krum's, she believed there was no way he couldn't solve the golden egg's secret. Even if he solved it later and didn't have enough time to find a method to deal with it, he should at least have prepared swimwear.

Hearing Fleur's question, everyone perked up their ears. Not just the young witches from the two towers, but the referee panel and the Hogwarts professors also listened intently.

They, too, wanted to know if Jerry had solved the golden egg's secret.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jerry smiled and said:

"I have solved it. I just invented a new water-repelling charm. When I enter the Black Lake, my clothes won't get wet, so I don't need to change."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment.

Then, they couldn't help but marvel, "No wonder it's Jerry."

In a normal situation, a witch would first think about finding a corresponding spell, magical item, or magical herb to deal with the challenge.

Only a master of charm modification and invention like Jerry would think of creating a new spell to handle it.

This was not just genius; it was sheer brilliance.

"Okay, never mind then."

Fleur couldn't help but twitch her mouth.

She regretted asking the question. It only made her feel uncomfortable.

After solving the golden egg's secret, she had finally found the Bubble-Head Charm, which allowed her to move underwater. With Madame Maxime's guidance, she had practiced until she could finally master the spell.

Now, Jerry had created a new charm that not only solved the problem but also kept his clothes dry. Her confidence was already cut in half before the competition even began.

Fleur wasn't the only one feeling down; Krum was also dejected, though he felt a bit better. He thought that while Jerry's charm could keep his clothes dry, it might not be as fast as his method.

Moreover, finding the "treasure" in such a vast Black Lake required more than just magical strength; it also required sufficient physical stamina. His body was clearly much stronger than Jerry's and Fleur's, giving him a significant advantage in this aspect.

As everyone marveled at Jerry's ability to invent charms, Dumbledore finally arrived at the referee's position and nodded at Ludo, who was in charge of the event.

Ludo checked the time and then walked to the edge of the tower, using the Sonorus Charm to shout:

"The competition will begin in two minutes. Please, the three champions, come over here. When you hear my whistle, you can start!"

Hearing this, Jerry, Krum, and Fleur walked to Ludo's side and stood in a line, waiting for the whistle.

The young witches on both sides stopped their chatter and held their breath.

"Beep~~~"

Two minutes later, a long whistle sounded.

Krum and Fleur simultaneously raised their wands and began casting spells on themselves.
