Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

Hagrid, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, also started to keep everyone in suspense, laughing loudly, "I wanted to give you a surprise. If you know it now, it's not a surprise anymore, right?"

The group looked at each other, and finally pushed Harry to the front to face his fate.

Harry forced himself to speak, "I hope it's not a very dangerous magical creature, Hagrid."

Hagrid hesitated. "It shouldn't be...it shouldn't be dangerous, right?"

Seeing his reaction, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Ron asked nervously, "Hagrid, you're not going to show us an eight-eyed giant spider, are you?"

The repeated doubts only made Hagrid more stubborn. He patted his chest and assured them, "Buckbeak is a gentle and good girl. I promise there will be no danger!"

The group returned empty-handed to the Gryffindor common room.

“I don’t think Hagrid’s assurances are that reliable.” Ron looked around and spoke in a low voice, as if afraid that Hagrid would hear him.

Harry and Neville both had this feeling; they knew at least that Hagrid had kept three dangerous magical creatures: Cerberus, Spinosaurus, and Octopod.

They wouldn't be surprised if Hagrid found some strange magical creatures, especially since their second class tomorrow was Hagrid's Magical Creature Protection class.

Hermione pursed her lips hesitantly. "I think we should give Hagrid more trust."

“Of course we trust Hagrid, but we don’t know if the magical creatures he brings will trust us,” Ron said in a strange tone, as if he were joking. “Buckbeak? Hagrid only uses names when he’s facing those big monsters.”

Jimmy already knows what tomorrow's Magical Creatures Protection class will cover, but now that Draco is replaced by Hydra, there shouldn't be any surprises.

Let's see how things go tomorrow; let's deal with the important matters now.

"Hermione, can I borrow your owl? I need to send a letter to the potions shop." Jimmy took out a notebook and pen, wrote down the potion ingredients he needed, and handed it to Hermione.

Harry, who was standing nearby, heard Jimmy say he wanted to mail a letter and pointed in the direction of the boys' dormitory, saying, "You can use Hathaway; she'll be happy to."

Hermione took the note and shook her head, declining Harry's offer. "Thank you, Harry. But let my owl go; it needs time to get used to the job."

After saying that, she turned and disappeared down the corridor of the girls' dormitory with the note in her hand, and the boys in the common room also returned to their dormitories one after another.

It's raining heavily outside again. Who wouldn't want to stay in a warm dormitory, wrapped in a blanket, and have a comfortable sleep during a storm?

Jimmy returned to his dorm and resumed writing his paper on the new potion in English.

This potion has incredibly powerful effects on paper, enhancing physical abilities and resistance to spells—something only a very few potions can do.

If fragile wizards become less fragile, then the level of recklessness among wizards in the future will definitely reach new heights.

In the end, he felt that he couldn't reveal all the good stuff and had to keep some things to himself, so he simply used the deduction opportunity to weaken the original formula.

Jimmy then wrote the weakened formula into a paper and sent it out. When it came to choosing a name, he ran into a problem.

"I hate choosing names!"

Jimmy covered his head. He had never had any talent for naming things, otherwise he wouldn't just randomly copy various names.

Just then, the dormitory door was pushed open, and Rocket strode confidently into the dormitory. The female raccoon he bought from the Magical Animal Shop was completely captivated by him, wiggling her furry bottom as she followed behind Rocket.

The two raccoons swaggered over to Jimmy's bedside and dragged a mat out from under the bed to prepare for bed.

Suddenly, Rocket turned its head and saw Jimmy staring straight at it. It immediately straightened its sturdy body, as if showing off its abilities.

"I've got it!" Jimmy grinned mischievously, and with a flourish of his brush, wrote a name in the title of the paper: Qunbolong.

The name is perfect for the new potion, and one of its major effects is to strengthen the body and promote muscle growth!

The next morning, Jimmy got up early as usual and went to exercise by the Black Lake.

Before even reaching the lake, they could see a small boat floating on the lake in the distance, with the tall Hagrid standing on it.

Jimmy walked to the lakeside, waved to the people on the small boat, and called out, "Hagrid!"

Hearing the noise, Hagrid, who was trawling, turned around, quickly pulled up the net, and maneuvered his small boat to the shore.

"Good morning, Jimmy! Here for your workout again?" Hagrid greeted Jimmy cheerfully. "Look how plump the fish are in this Black Lake! You should come and try some sometime. You're welcome anytime!"

He openly showed the fishing net to Jimmy, revealing many large fish tangled in its mesh, and a small fish-headed, human-bodied creature among them.

"Gah gah gah gah gah!" The little mermaid struggled in the fishing net, cursing loudly.

Jimmy pointed to the mermaid in the fishing net and asked with a smile, "Is the first lesson going to teach us about mermaids?"

Only then did Hagrid notice that there was a mermaid in the fishing net. He hurriedly untied it, exclaiming, "Oh, little one, you're so careless! How did you get into the fishing net?"

The mermaid hurled some very offensive insults at them before leaving, and although Jimmy and Hagrid couldn't understand them, they could still guess what they meant from the rich body language.

Hagrid said somewhat awkwardly, "I was actually preparing fish; we'll need the fish in class..."

"We are all looking forward to your class. Of course, if you have any difficulties, you can discuss them with us. Although we are not professors, we have attended many professors' classes and have some experience."

Hagrid looked so conflicted that it was impossible for Jimmy not to notice.

Hagrid awkwardly jumped off the boat and walked to the shore, sighing as he said, "I don't know if I can do it... You know, I didn't protect you all last semester. I'm worried someone might get hurt in my class, even though Buckbeak is very gentle, but..."

"What is Buckbeak?" Jimmy asked, pretending not to know.

Speaking of magical creatures, Hagrid's eyes lit up, and he introduced them with great enthusiasm, "They are hippogriffs, friendly creatures. Just follow their rules, approach them, and bow..."

Hagrid spent a full month preparing for his first class as a professor. He absolutely did not want to mess it up, especially not to let any students get hurt in class.

Even with his usual carefree attitude, Hagrid could still tell that the hippogriff was larger than the young wizards.

Chapter 198 No way! No way!

"As far as I know, the hippogriff is classified as a 'XXX' level dangerous magical creature by the Ministry of Magic. They can carry people in flight, but they can also knock people out of the air."

Jimmy had to point this out to Hagrid: magical creatures are animals after all; they rarely understand the difference between a full meal and a full stomach. When emotions run high, they don't care about anything and are prone to hurting people.

Hagrid's smile froze, then he pursed his lips and sighed bitterly, "But I can't think of anything better than introducing the students to the hippogriffs. In the second period, I'm even planning to have everyone ride one of those beautiful creatures around the Black Lake."

“That’s really great, but you can save that for later. First, choose some safer magical creatures, like a unicorn…”

Seeing Hagrid's increasingly depressed mood, Jimmy stopped mentioning changing the content and said helplessly, "Alright, or can you guarantee that the magical creatures won't hurt the students? That's the professor's responsibility. Those Slytherins aren't so easy to deal with, you know."

This was Hagrid's predicament. He pleaded for help, "I've thought of everything! Professor McGonagall said that professors need authority to get students to listen, but I don't know how. Jimmy, you're very smart, I hope you can give me some ideas?"

majesty?

Jimmy looked Hagrid up and down. Although Hagrid's massive size was intimidating, all his authority vanished when he saw those clear eyes.

Moreover, the students at the school are all familiar with Hagrid; they all know what kind of person Hagrid is and how he could possibly maintain his dignity.

Wait, weren't we talking about how to prevent accidents during teaching?

However, demonstrating authority may not be a bad way to solve the problem...

Jimmy seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said, "I have an idea, I don't know if Hagrid would like to try it."

"What method?" Hagrid asked excitedly.

"Ahem... I recently developed a potion called 'Swarm of Dragons,' which means it can fight a group of dragons. It can enhance a person's physical fitness and magical resistance." Jimmy began his friendly persuasion. "You can change your appearance and make yourself stronger, which can give students a sense of security."

Hagrid scratched his head. "Strong? But I'm already very strong."

Hagrid, who has half giant blood, is indeed very strong. Even though he never deliberately trains, the accumulation of his daily life and carrying heavy objects has made his body as strong as a troll.

Trolls are already incredibly strong magical creatures, and no matter how much Hagrid trains, he can't overcome the limitations of his own body and reach the exaggerated level of giants.

Jimmy carefully considered his words before slowly saying, "Hagrid, I hope that when you bring some big guys, you can protect the students... You don't want the only thing the students see in class is the Flobber Caterpillar, do you?"

The sentence sounded strangely familiar to Hagrid, but he was soon deeply impressed by the vision Jimmy had described.

"Just imagine, maybe you'll use my potion and become as strong as a dragon. Then you can bring Norber back to school and introduce the students to these fascinating creatures! If you're strong enough, you can even wrestle with Norber without worrying about being hurt by dangerous magical beasts!"

Jimmy felt he was being despicable, but he was really curious to see how far Hagrid could go.

With his current level of knowledge about potions, he can be 100% certain that the potion he derived from this epiphany has no side effects.

If developing muscles counts as a side effect, then let's just say it has a side effect.

But he believed that Hagrid would certainly not mind having a strong physique.

"What should I do?" The scene described in those few words captivated Hagrid, and with just a little imagination, he was completely immersed in that beautiful scenery.

Jimmy looked Hagrid over again, recalling the fitness knowledge in his mind, snapped his fingers, and said, "We need to start with the basics. A strong body must combine strength, speed, and agility. I'll come see you again during lunch break, Hagrid, and I'll create a training plan based on your physical condition!"

"That's wonderful, Jimmy, I don't know how to thank you!"

Hagrid was as happy as a child, then he remembered how much Jimmy had helped him and he hadn't even given him a proper thank you.

Remembering that there were some magical materials in the cabin, and that Jimmy also ran a potion shop and an alchemy workshop, he would definitely need those materials.

Hagrid forcefully pulled Jimmy up, dragging the fishing net towards the cabin. "I must thank you. I still have some magical materials there; please take them all!"

"Oh? Actually, the potion hasn't been tested yet. Giving it to you is also helping myself, but I guarantee the potion won't be harmful." Jimmy couldn't refuse the offer and followed Hagrid briskly towards the cabin.

He'd been eyeing those ingredients for a long time.

Hagrid said nonchalantly, "I believe in you, Jimmy. Nobody's smarter than you!"

Upon arriving at the cabin, Hagrid forcefully shoved most of the materials into Jimmy's hands, the sheer quantity and variety of which delighted Jimmy.

"Oh dear, this is too much, too much! I can't accept this!"

"Take it!" Hagrid forcefully stuffed something into Jimmy's open pocket, as if to say that they couldn't be friends if he didn't take it.

Jimmy couldn't refuse, so he had to stretch the bag even wider. The materials in the cabin almost filled the bag, and the value of these materials was at least tens of thousands of Galleons.

Jimmy glanced at the time and said contentedly, "I should go back now, Hagrid. Your first class will be fine, I promise!"

"Thank you so much, Jimmy. Would you like some rock cakes to take with you?"

"No need for this, I can't let the kitchen elf's efforts go to waste!"

Jimmy fled back to the castle, washed up, organized the materials he had obtained from Hagrid, and then went to the Great Hall with Harry and the others who had woken up.

Hermione got up exceptionally early today. When Jimmy arrived at the Great Hall, he saw Hermione already sitting at the long table eating breakfast, with a tall stack of books on the table.

Even while serving as the head of the Round Table's tribunal, Hermione did not give up her goal of getting all twelve "O" grades.

She held a separate timetable given to her by Professor McGonagall, which was densely packed with overlapping courses, filling her entire day with classes. Jimmy felt tired just looking at it.

"Good morning." Hermione quietly put away her schedule and greeted the others casually.

"Hermione, tell me if you're tired."

Jimmy suddenly felt like one of those unscrupulous, heartless bosses who knew their employees had to do ten jobs after get off work, yet still added extra burdens for them.

Looking back over the past two and a half years, whenever there was trouble, Hermione was always the first person I thought of. Seeing that she still has to take twelve courses, Jimmy's heart aches.
