Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

Chapter 175

Hermione, who thought she had discovered the truth of the matter, suddenly felt a strong fighting spirit in her heart.

Since I got the ability to travel to the future by chance, it must be accompanied by some kind of mission.

It is undoubtedly what she must do to rescue Jerry by cooperating with herself in that time and space.

At this time, Penello came over.

This year is her NEWT ultimate wizard exam year.

This is an important competency certification for students when applying for various positions after graduation.

For example, applying to become an Auror for the Ministry of Magic requires at least five NEWT.Get an "Excellent" or "Good" score on the exam.Many majors require specific .EWT.Get high marks in exams.

Although Penello's grades have always been excellent, she did not dare to neglect when facing important exams related to her life. She was much busier to the naked eye.

This is a good thing for Jerry, at least she rarely bothers herself now.

After seeing Penello, Hermione suddenly became wary.

I saw Penello sitting next to Jerry without any notice: "Long time no see, little brother, did you miss me?"

Sorry, no.

If you say that, the girl will definitely be sad, right?

But if the answer is yes, I feel that I will face a more troublesome situation.

Just when Jerry was in trouble, Hermione took over the conversation: "Sorry, not really."

Penello's beautiful eyes narrowed: "Miss Granger, I don't seem to be asking you, right? What is your relationship with Jerry?"

"Jerry, as the vice-president of the 'Learning Mutual Aid Group', is my important right-hand man." Hermione said calmly, "His working and living conditions are very good during this period, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Haha, you have such great authority, Miss President, but can you really help Jerry in his studies?"

Penello turned to look at Jerry: "If you encounter any difficulties in studying, you can come to me at any time. Although my strength is also average, at least I know a little more than Miss Granger."

stare~

Both of them looked at Jerry at the same time.

Jerry immediately expressed his attitude: "Penello, this is your NEWT year, right? I feel like it's better to concentrate on the exam."

"Tsk—"

Penello clicked his tongue.

She has some affection for Jerry, but mainly because of his strong strength and handsome appearance.

Now that the other party has made their position clear, she would be cheating on herself if she continues to pester them.

But well...

Penelope glanced at Hermione.

Although Jerry looks easy-going on the outside, he is the kind of person who is very independent, and Hermione also has a strong temper.

Although the scandal between the two people is now spreading everywhere and is becoming more and more popular, Penello can tell at a glance that the relationship between the two is more than friends, but not lovers.

And they both want the other person to take the final step.

It was fine at the beginning, but as time went on and no actual progress was made, various conflicts would inevitably arise.

It won't be too late for her to poach again when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Penello shrugged: "Okay, if you change your mind anytime, you can come to me at any time, little brother~"

After giving Jerry a wink, Penello walked away with charming steps.

Viewed from the back, the loose wizard robes cannot hide the graceful curves, graceful gait, and graceful posture...

"Does it look good?"

An evil voice came from his ears, and Jerry suddenly came back to his senses.

"I think you will look better than her if you dress up."

Jerry replied sincerely.

In the original book, Hermione, who was in fourth grade, dressed up carefully when she attended the Yule Ball.

Amazing most of Hogwarts.

Hermione blushed: "Glib."

hateful!How could he be so good!

Swearing and telling obvious lies makes your heart skip a beat.

Hermione didn't think she was that beautiful, and she was much less beautiful than Penello.

Even though she knew it was a lie, Hermione still felt sweet in her heart, as if she had eaten honey.

But then, she became worried about the future she saw.

In the future, the reason why Penelo betrays Jerry is because of love and hatred, right?

In some of the novels Hermione has read, there are many people who imprisoned or even killed men because they rejected her confession.

For example, the famous Merlin was said to have been sealed into a cage made of air by the witch Lilith after he rejected her confession day and night.

This is not slightly similar to Jerry's experience of being imprisoned on the Golden Throne, it can only be said to be exactly the same!

Thinking of this, Hermione said worriedly: "Jerry... you'd better stay away from Penello in the future, she is not a good person..."

"..."

Jerry wanted to tease Hermione and ask her if she was jealous.

But deep down in his heart, there was actually a faint worry.

Penello's change was too sudden. Even if her relationship with Percy broke down, there was no reason to fall in love so quickly, right?

Although I am more handsome than Percy, richer than him, and stronger than him...

But before that happened, Penelo did have deep feelings for Percy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to activate [Madam, you don't want to either... right? 】This skill.

But at that time, he just let her find her soul and be herself.

In the end, Penelope did get rid of Voldemort's control.

But Penello's subsequent performance made Jerry wonder if his memory was confused. In fact, he had given some indescribable order?

……

What Jerry didn't know was that although his original order to "be herself" successfully freed Penelope from Voldemort's control, it also freed her from the shackles of secular moral concepts.

In other words, he became a happy monster who could do as he pleased!

That's why she was able to mercilessly get rid of Percy, who couldn't bring her pleasure and was even used as a threat to her, and chose the more "interesting" Jerry.

Hermione thought she was a refined egotist, which was fine to a certain extent.

And it's even worse than Hermione could have imagined!

However, there is no instruction manual attached to the system skills. After thinking for a long time, Jerry still had no idea where Penello's changes came from, so he could only put this matter behind him for the time being...

……

Soon, Hermione ushered in her fourth and fifth time travels.

Due to her sudden appearance and disappearance last time, Penello increased the protection of the castle.

Not only were teachers patrolling every corridor, there were also many toy bird-like things floating in the air buzzing.

This kind of prop seems to be able to break all disguise magic.

In the fourth time, when Hermione passed them under the Disillusionment Charm like the previous times, these little things made a deafening alarm sound.

Hermione had to hide in a broom closet that appeared at some point to escape.

In the fifth time traveling, Hermione did not choose the location outside the divination classroom, but outside the castle.

Although Jerry was puzzled by this, he did not object.

This time Hermione appeared directly on the college grounds 20 years later.

This makes Hermione realize that where she appears 20 years later is related to her current location.

However, this time traveling experience was still not smooth.

This time she was not discovered by the school teacher or the magic props, but she suddenly discovered that Hagrid's hut on the school grounds was missing.

With curiosity in mind, Hermione came to the location of Hagrid's cabin in her memory.

It had turned into a desolate meadow dotted with flecks of wild flowers.

A gust of wind blew by, and the weeds half a man's height swayed with the wind, revealing a white stone tablet hidden among them.

After being eroded by wind and sun, the stone monument had become quite broken. Hermione leaned down and wiped away the dust on it.

Then, she froze on the spot.

[This is the execution place for the criminal Rubeus Hagrid. This man conspired against the Empire and was treasonous. He was hanged in the first year of the Empire. The world should take a warning. ——Execution Section of the Imperial Ministry of Justice]

It was as if scenes were replaying before Hermione's eyes.

The tall and honest man was pushed to the ground by a group of heavily armed and expressionless soldiers.

He struggled and roared unwillingly, but could not get the soldiers' hands to lift an inch.

His strong body, which was twice as tall as an ordinary person, was as weak as a baby in front of these soldiers.

Then, a man who looked like a leader stood up and began to read out a charge sheet.

【…………The Supreme Court unanimously decided to sentence the criminal Rubeus Hager to hanging and execution immediately! 】

Immediately afterwards, a makeshift gallows was erected.

The soldiers hung Hagrid on the gallows expressionlessly, with the rope tightened around his neck...

After a long and painful period of time, the giant finally stopped breathing. Until he died, his eyes were still wide open, as if he was questioning something...

The carousel-like illusion suddenly broke, and Hermione realized that at some point, her face was filled with tears.

"Just now, what was that?"

Hermione murmured to herself that she seemed to have seen the scene before Hagrid's death.

"Is it magic or an illusion?"

Hermione wanted to think deeply, but huge sadness surged into her heart in an instant, making her lose the ability to think.

She knew very well how good the relationship between Hagrid and Jerry was - Jerry had rescued Hagrid from Quirrell in the first year, and later restrained the Slytherin students from saying bad things to Hagrid. .

After Hagrid heard that Jerry was lacking materials for practicing potions, he often went to the depths of the jungle alone to get all kinds of precious magic materials for Jerry.

For this reason, he often hurt himself all over his body.

Although Jerry advised him not to do it many times, he never took it to heart.

Hermione didn't believe Jerry would attack Hagrid, even if he became the Emperor.

And Hagrid...Hagrid, does he know that Jerry is the "Emperor"?

If he knew, how desperate would he have been before he died?

His best friend killed him and didn't even bother to appear in front of him.

Just thinking about it made Hermione's heart almost twitch with pain.

Just then, Hermione heard a soft click

The stone tablet suddenly cracked in half in front of her.

The next moment, whirlpools appeared faintly in the air.

Hermione's heart was shaken, this was the unique spatial trace of Apparition.

It was too late to leave at this time. Hermione cast a Disillusionment Charm on herself and quickly fell to the ground, trying her best to integrate herself with the ground.

The next moment, dozens of figures wearing black robes and hoods emerged from the air.

Their eyes were on the cracked stone tablet at the same time.

"The remnants of the resistance have indeed appeared."

"Minister Penello said that the rebel party is most likely the witch Hermione Granger."

The name "Hermione Granger" seemed to have some kind of magic power, and there was an uneasy commotion among the people in black robes.

"Silence!" A man who looked like a leader suddenly shouted, "What about the witch?" He looked around, "Didn't the so-called savior Harry Potter also be sent to Azkaban by our execution department?"

After boosting morale, the leader began to issue instructions:

"A group of three will spread out from this place as the center. Once any abnormality is discovered, a signal will be sent immediately! No greed for credit! No rash advances! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Very well, disperse!" The leader made the sign of the cross on his chest with his fingers, "Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor!"

Hermione discovered that these men in black were not only well-trained, but also fully armed.

Each of them held something like a laser gun that can only be seen in science fiction movies. Behind each of them were the flying magic props that Hermione had seen in the castle. The shapes of these props were different, and some were Hermione had seen birds that were only used for detection. Some were in the shape of streamlined airplanes, and the dark holes on the wings were frightening.

Hermione didn't want to try the power of these weapons herself. She held tightly the women's pistol given to her by Charlotte with one hand and the time turner with the other hand, praying to go back quickly.

Unfortunately, a group of men in black robes happened to be walking in her direction.

Hermione heard a worried young voice:

"It is said that the witch escaped from the pursuit of the Knights of Truth many times, and even wiped out several elite teams of the Knights... That is a special force specially designed to deal with wizards! Can we really catch her?"

"Why, are you scared?" A disdainful voice said, "Remember, the empire did not train you to give up in this place! If you are afraid, go home and drink milk!"

"I'm not afraid," the young voice argued, "I just feel that we may not be able to catch her..."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, a voice tried to smooth things over: "It's the first time for young people to go to the front line. It's always like this. It would be better if it happened more times."

"Tch~" The second person snorted contemptuously, but still closed his mouth.

Seeing that the three of them were getting closer and closer to her, Hermione gradually tightened her grip on the time turner.

"Hurry up, please—"

PS: There are many versions of the legend about Merlin and Lilith - the one sealed into the boulder, the one sealed into the oak tree, the one sealed into the birdcage... There are also many versions of Lilith's identity, including witch, witch, hunter's daughter... Don't delve too deeply into it.
