Chapter 621 "The Second Event"

"Professor Foster, I would like to ask. Do you know my mother, Lily Evans? Because you…"

Seeing that Snape was gone, Harry looked at Foster expectantly.

Forster shook her head with some regret, "I know what you are going to ask, but unfortunately, it is not the case. I have nothing to do with your mother. I went to your aunt to verify this two days ago."

Although Foster is somewhat concerned about her true nature, she is not particularly concerned about it. Because she has lived a very happy life in the past twenty-three years, her adoptive parents have always loved her deeply, and her sister is now married and has children.

Although they are all Muggles, they all regard her as their family, and she also regards them as her real family. Except for some unknown reason, she never wanted to get married. Her first half of life could be said to be relatively perfect.

After confirming the situation with the Dursleys, she no longer pursued it. If Harry hadn't come to her on his own initiative, she wouldn't have bothered to explain anything.

"I see." Harry's expression instantly turned into disappointment.

He didn't know what he was expecting. Was he expecting Professor Foster to be his mother's twin sister? But even if she is, she is not his mother but his aunt.

It's not that he doesn't have an aunt. He has lived in his aunt's house for the first eleven years. It's just that his aunt's family has never been kind to him. Perhaps it's just because Professor Foster looks the same as his mother. He feels something different about her.

"Although I'm not your aunt, I am your Potions professor. Principal Snape said that you have never done well in Potions. If you have questions you don't understand, you can come to me anytime." Looking at Harry's disappointed expression, Foster showed a gentle smile.

She learned about Harry's life experience and situation from Snape. Although in Snape's eyes, Harry was not a good student, for some reason, she always felt that this child was different from her when she saw Harry.

Harry's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I will try my best in the class, Professor."

"Okay then, let's go to dinner together." Foster smiled and greeted Harry and Jerry, who were following behind.

However, she paused when her eyes glanced at Jerry. From the first time she met Jerry in class, she always felt as if she had seen him before somewhere.

"This seems to be going so well." Seeing Harry's energetic look, Jerry thought to himself.

Originally, many things deviated from the original plot because he dealt with Voldemort. Naturally, Harry and Ron are nless stressed thanin the original plot,and tss serious about studying.

Jerry was worried about whether the two of them would be able to enter the Ministry of Magic and become Aurors after graduating, like in the original book.

Becoming an Auror in the Ministry of Magic is not that easy. In addition to having excellent practical skills, theoretical knowledge and academic performance in various subjects are also very important. Harry's practical ability is good, but if his final exam results are not satisfactory, he will not be able to become an Auror.

Harry's ability to become an Auror in the original book has a lot to do with defeating Voldemort and saving the British wizarding world.

As for Ron, he worked as an Auror for a while and then went to help George open a joke shop. He is not suitable to be an Auror, so it doesn't matter if he continues to be like this.

The arrival of the new Potions Professor caused a stir for a while after the start of term, but it was quickly suppressed because the second event of the Triwizard Tournament had begun.

On the morning of February 24th, as soon as Jerry arrived at the hall, he heard the students discussing something excitedly. It turned out to be the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students who saw three more towers outside the Black Lake through the window.

Today happens to be the day when the second event starts, so everyone guesses that it was the competition venue for the second event that the wizards from the Ministry of Magic used magic overnight to build last night.

Sure enough, they soon saw Professor Flitwick posting an announcement, informing the students to gather at the Black Lake Tower at eleven o'clock in the morning to watch the second event.

"Jerry, does the waterproof spell you invented really work?" On the way to the Black Lake Tower, Harry and Ron asked Jerry worriedly.

They naturally believed in Jerry's magical abilities, but the competition was held in water, and Jerry's portal magic didn't seem to be going to help.

"Don't worry about it!" Hermione waved her hand.

Unlike Harry and Ron, who were worried about their good friends, Hermione was full of confidence in Jerry.

After following Jerry into his world, working as an agent for some time, and learning some of Jerry's deeds through S.H.I.E.L.D., Hermione truly realized that Jerry's power far exceeded what she could imagine.

She even felt that even Dumbledore was much inferior to Jerry in terms of strength.

Dumbledore couldn't use a spell to turn himself into a hundred-meter-tall giant. It's just that she couldn't tell Harry and Ron these secrets because even if she told them, neither of them would believe them.

"Miss Granger, please come over here." Just when they walked out of the castle, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Go to the tower on the other side of the Black Lake first. Miss Granger will have to wait for a while before she can get there." After Professor McGonagall appeared, she took Hermione away without explaining any reason.

Jerry certainly knew what was going on.

The second event is to place the treasures of the three contestants in the lake and become hostages of the mermaid. Whoever of the contestants breaks through the mermaid's defense and rescues their treasure wins the game.

But to make the Triwizard Tournament more interesting, the mermaid's lyrics in Golden Eggs are that if the contestant fails, then their treasure will be gone forever.

The treasure here refers to the person the three contestants love most. If they are not rescued, their lovers will be killed by the mermaids in the Black Lake.

But Dumbledore had already told the mermaids that there was no danger to the contestants or the three hostages.

The reason why Professor McGonagall called Hermione away was because she was the treasure for Jerry.
