Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

Trying to find the answer in memory...

The quantity is really small, but it's not nonexistent.

One memory is particularly vivid: it was a daring act she and Jimmy performed during the second-year opening banquet when they followed Professor Dumbledore to his office to spy on Harry as he was being punished.

Dumbledore mentioned an animal name that was mixed in with the name of a drink...

Hermione wasn't sure if it was a snow leopard, but she could narrow it down: "It was over a meter long!"

Judging by size, animals over one meter tall are large animals, and those under one meter tall are small animals. Snow leopards are considered medium-sized animals, but most people use a cat's head as a reference; animals larger than common cats and dogs are considered large animals.

Jimmy nodded, his smile still on his face.

Hermione narrowed her eyes and asked almost without thinking, "Is it a feline?"

Jimmy started to feel the pressure, but he maintained his smile, knowing that nothing was certain until the very last moment! He still had a chance to win!

“It’s white…and black!” Hermione asked again, her question piercing the soul.

Jimmy couldn't hold back any longer. There aren't many black and white felines that are over a meter tall, and the snow leopard is the most suitable. If you're going to be stubborn, the lynx and the white tiger would also count.

But that little bit of fantasy shattered instantly when Hermione confidently mentioned the snow leopard.

“I should only give you three chances to ask questions.” Jimmy lost, but he didn’t deny it; he was in charge of the reward anyway. “Okay, you win! Guess what the reward is!”

Having won, Hermione didn't want to guess anymore. She raised her chin slightly and said firmly, "As the victor, I have the right to know what the reward is."

"Ahem! Alright, my lady." Jimmy straightened up and said the shameless reward, "The reward is that you can sleep with me in my Animagus form!"

"What?" Hermione was amused by the intense feeling of speechlessness.

Compared to what Jimmy's Animagus form is, this final reward is obviously much harder to guess.

I originally thought it was most likely a beautiful piece of jewelry.

It's also possible that they'll share their experiences with Animagus transformations.

Pretty clothes are also an option.

But what's with sleeping while hugging him in his Animagus form?

Jimmy said confidently, "You'll definitely love this reward. I'm about to change!"

After saying that, under Hermione's gentle gaze, it transformed into a fluffy, chubby snow leopard with soft, fluffy fur, meowed twice at Hermione, and even stood up on its hind legs to perform two sets of cat punches.

Hermione was stunned by the snow leopard's pretentious pose, and her heart skipped a beat!

Chapter 229 Script

This was the most restless sleep Jimmy had ever had. Hermione hugged him in his snow leopard form, kissing and stroking him from his neck to his belly, from his ears to his tail.

His little hands kept fidgeting and rubbing, like a lovesick girl, and when he was asleep, they would wrap around him like an octopus, making it impossible for him to sleep properly.

When Jimmy woke up the next day, he wasn't feeling very well, while Hermione looked refreshed.

However, the semester is about to end, and the final elective course slots will be determined next semester. Hermione has been running around for half a semester, shuttling between various classes, and has already given up her dream of getting all twelve A's at the end of the semester.

Hermione now needs to eliminate one more of her four elective courses so that she can free herself from her heavy academic workload to do more things.

After finishing giving Hermione her reward, Jimmy busied himself with writing the script.

He gathered Percy and a few other upperclassmen and secretly told them about Peter Pettigrew. The group was shocked, their mouths agape, their expressions as exaggerated as special effects.

Percy was so disgusted he could hardly breathe, because Scabbers was originally his pet!

He did almost everything Ron did to Scabbers!

“I know you’re shocked, but calm down and listen to me.” Jimmy kept gesturing with his hands, glanced at the door, and then lowered his voice, saying, “This is our chance!”

"Huh?" Percy asked, puzzled. "What opportunity?"

Jimmy gave Percy a look of exasperation and explained, "Of course, it's your chance to make a name for yourself! If you can overturn a miscarriage of justice that the Ministry of Magic has covered up for over a decade, the world will praise your bravery, wisdom, decisiveness, and meticulousness!"

When you start working at the Ministry of Magic, you'll have a head start over everyone else!

Percy was still a little confused. "We? How can we overturn the case?"

Jimmy has already taken care of everything, so what else can they do?

Although ambitious, he is really rigid in some ways...

Jimmy stopped wasting words with Percy and turned his gaze to a few other people with strange looks in their eyes, who seemed to have guessed the answer. "You guessed it, didn't you?"

The group of people nodded hesitantly.

"Very good. This is a practical lesson outside of the regular curriculum. Study hard, take notes carefully, and try to understand the wisdom within!"

Stopping the pointless chatter with Percy, Jimmy immediately laid out his plan: "Next, I'll design a script where each of you plays a pivotal role, fully showcasing your individual characters. Once the script is complete and the case is exposed, the Daily Prophet's spotlight will be on you!"

Percy finally understood. He opened his mouth wide in surprise and exclaimed, "This...this is asking us to take credit for something we didn't do!"

"This is a very normal transaction. I am trading the resources I have with you, and once you join the Ministry of Magic, you will also trade the resources of the Ministry of Magic to me."

Seeing that Percy still had doubts, Jimmy patiently persuaded him, "This is one of the basic operating rules of the Ministry of Magic. You'll have to get used to it gradually, Percy. Alright, let's go over the script."

The nine people sat in a row, waiting for Jimmy to pave the way for them.

Jimmy conjured a blackboard and analyzed the departments each person was going to, confirming the persona each of them wanted to establish for themselves.

Percy aspires to be a tough leader with exceptional skills, taking center stage in the story.

To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability. To assess the unity of a team, one must first observe whether its members are of one mind and whether it has a core leader and key members; in other words, to identify who the leader is.

Percy, as the president of the boys' student council and aspiring to become Minister of Magic, was undoubtedly chosen as the team leader.

As one of the institutions Percy will eventually control, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, along with the female member who wants to join the secretariat, will all play the role of Percy's deputy, while the others will play the role of partners influenced by Percy's charisma.

After the basic character settings and identities were confirmed, the next step was to set up the script. This required the cooperation of George and Fred, as the two of them had a key prop in the script: the Marauder's Map.

Percy quickly brought George and Fred over.

The two were still laughing and joking, but after hearing Percy's explanation, they immediately shouted that they wanted to join in. How could they miss out on something so fun!

"The story goes something like this: Percy caught his brother playing a prank and confiscated the live point map. Then, on Halloween, you noticed Sirius Black's name..."

Before they had even started, George and Fred began to complain.

"You can't do that! We need to have our parts too!"

"Correct!"

Percy, somewhat annoyed, roared, "I'm your brother!"

The story started off great, and even matched real-life characters; he couldn't see anything wrong with it!

It's clearly just those two troublesome younger brothers trying to play a prank again!

But this matter concerns his future and career, how can we let him get away with this!

Fortunately, Jimmy also opposed George and Fred's desire to change their characters, saying, "Shut up and let me continue!"

George and Fred shrugged and made a sewing gesture in front of their mouths.

"After seeing Sirius Black's name on the Marauder's Map, you didn't pay much attention at first. But when Sirius actually showed up at the castle that night and tore up the Fat Lady's painting, you started to take it seriously..."

The plot is largely the same as the original story, but there are some twists and turns in the process, such as the capture of Peter Pettigrew and the luring out of Sirius Black for a face-to-face confrontation.

Percy and his friends outwitted Peter Pettigrew, eventually subduing him in the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle at night, and the truth was revealed!

In this process, everyone has power, and everyone will demonstrate their personal charm in this story.

Besides requiring each of them to memorize the story and their own character, Jimmy also had them try to collaborate on writing a short story so that they could publish it later and gain more popularity.

To become a leader, you first need to gain recognition!

If nobody knows you, it's meaningless no matter how talented you are.

Percy and his team assured him that the task would be completed within a week. They argued that English writing didn't require high literary skills, and with a complete outline and character development, writing a story wouldn't be difficult.

There's still one small problem: finding Sirius Black and getting him to cooperate.

Let's entrust this arduous task to the rocket that's so engrossed in its adventures!

In the afternoon, two magnificent raccoons, a male and a female, appeared near the edge of the forbidden forest.

The raccoon carried a sign on its back, which depicted an abstract black dog and an envelope, with a very simple meaning.

As Rocket and his wife were wandering around the castle, a large ginger cat suddenly darted out and blocked their path as they passed a clump of grass.

Chapter 230 Performance

The big cat blocked the way of Rocket's two raccoons and turned around to meow twice.

Then a long, thin, dirty black dog emerged from the bushes, watching Rocket and his wife warily.

Rocket propped himself up, rummaged in the small pocket Jimmy had sewn for a moment, pulled out a letter, and handed it to Black Dog.

The black dog looked at the letter, smelled the familiar aroma of roasted meat, and immediately realized who had given it to him. He opened his mouth, bit the letter, and quickly darted back into the bushes.

Crookshank also followed with his short legs. Rocket, having completed his mission, took his wife back to the newly built raccoon hut to continue having babies.

Once away from the castle, Sirius Black transformed back into human form, opened the letter, and painstakingly read the message by the moonlight.

"Ho... Peter Pettigrew!"

After reading the letter, Sirius Black's breathing became heavy, his eyes turned sinister, and he muttered the name of his old friend.

Soon, his sinister look turned into a smile, his mouth splitting open, revealing layers of skin devoid of fat, a maniacal and ferocious laugh.

After laughing for a while, Sirius Black transformed into a big black dog and sneaked back into the forest.

The letter is most likely true. If Jimmy has really caught Peter Pettigrew, even though it's unbearable, waiting another month is acceptable!

A week of preparation time has quietly passed...

Percy and his friends have finished the novel, which they have forcibly expanded to about 50,000 Chinese characters.

The English translation alone exceeds 200,000 words.

After reading the novel, Jimmy spent half a day refining some plot points and dialogues, and the novel passed the review, marking the official start of the decryption operation.

Percy and his friends would deliberately act out scenes from the novel in front of other students, making the story a reality, as needed by the plot.

This certainly puts a lot of acting skills to the test, but fortunately, everyone is very familiar with the plot and has practiced it many times while writing the novel. After a short rehearsal, the novel "The Dead" began filming!
