Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

Overwhelmed with emotion, the two were so engrossed in their encounter that they would have exchanged water right there in the corner if a passerby hadn't walked by.

The two pretended nothing had happened and entered the Spells class classroom on time.

Professor Flitwick taught Jimmy things he already knew, and out of boredom, Jimmy began to ponder the formula for the wolfsbane potion.

The recipe for the wolfsbane potion is public knowledge. Its inventor, Damocles, was a famous potion master. He invented the wolfsbane potion to eliminate the threat of werewolves. The potion he invented is not subject to patent restrictions, and anyone can obtain the recipe and prepare the wolfsbane potion.

Jimmy knew the formula for the wolfsbane medicine like the back of his hand. He listed all the necessary materials on parchment and, referring to the relevant papers he had read before, detailed the function and processing method of each material.

After writing two pages, Jimmy used one deduction opportunity to begin his experiment.

Improving the wolfsbane potion was not as difficult as imagined. Damocles took the first step, and the difficulty of making further improvements based on that was greatly reduced.

By the end of get out of class, Jimmy had used three simulation opportunities, increasing the duration of the wolfsbane potion from one week to one month.

You only need to drink it once a month; you don't have to wait until the full moon to drink it, which saves a lot of trouble.

After class, he gave Hermione the improved formula for the wolfsbane potion to brew.

"Huh?" Hermione held the parchment covered in writing, looking bewildered. Had this lesson lasted for a whole month?

Didn't we just decide to research the wolfsbane medicine? What is this?

Jimmy reached out and pinched Hermione's cheek, laughing, "It's just a little improvement. I need a werewolf to help me so I can figure out how to solve the werewolf problem."

The wizard pinched his own face. Hermione looked up and asked in an incredulous tone, "Is there really a problem in this world that can stump you?"

"Of course I am, I'm not omnipotent."

Jimmy added in his mind, "But cheat codes are omnipotent."

His current achievements are 90% due to hard work, 90% due to external factors, and 1% due to intelligence.

“We have to find Professor Lupin!” Looking at the detailed formula for the improved wolfsbane potion in her hand, Hermione couldn’t wait to promote this improved wolfsbane potion. “We need a werewolf to experiment on, and Professor Lupin is the most suitable candidate. He will definitely be willing to help.”

Even though this is just a slightly modified version, its effects over a month can greatly alleviate the suffering of the werewolf pack.

Professor Lupin is currently in his transformation phase. A few days later, when the transformation ends, Jimmy and Hermione will finally see Professor Lupin in their Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Because of Snape's outrageous revelations, many people at the school began to doubt Professor Lupin's identity, and some timid students became very cautious during class.

Professor Lu Ping noticed the changes among the students, but he didn't take them to heart and continued to teach diligently as always, trying his best to give the students a basic understanding of the dark creatures in the textbook.

When get out of class ended, many students fled the classroom as if they were being chased, while others left at a leisurely pace.

After everyone left, Jimmy and Hermione walked together toward Professor Lupin behind the podium.

"Is there anything else?" Professor Lu Ping, who was engrossed in organizing his lesson plans, looked up and smiled when he saw the two of them approaching, before continuing to tidy up his messy desk.

Hermione glanced at Jimmy, who pulled a bottle of potion from his pocket and explained, "This is a modified version of the Wolfsbane potion. You only need to drink it once a month to ensure you stay sane during your transformation. You don't need to drink it before transforming, which is much more convenient."

Professor Lupin stopped tidying his desk, looked up at him, and smiled. "I've heard about you in various ways before, Mr. Jimmy Blaine. They say you're a future Potions Master, but they've all underestimated you."

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

Jimmy's paper on potions has gained widespread recognition, not only for the incredibly potent effects of the Drowned Spring, but also for the Dragon's Breath and those beauty potions.

No one doubts Jimmy's achievements in potions. Even Snape has never doubted Jimmy's potion-making talent, which is why he angrily deducted points in class instead of mocking him.

"It's just empty fame; I've never cared what others say about me!"

Jimmy waved his hand dismissively, then added in his mind, "I don't remember who praised me, but I'll definitely remember who didn't."

Taking the bright yellow, moon-like potion from the glass bottle, Professor Lu Ping examined it closely and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise... You probably can't imagine how many werewolves there are in this world?"

Professor Lupin was lost in memories, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and his smile vanished. "During my travels in England, I always managed to find werewolves in places far from the crowds, time and time again."

The actual number is five times the Ministry of Magic's statistics. They are not accepted by any society, whether wizards or Muggles; all regard werewolves as dangerous outcasts.

Hermione, who was always good at empathy, bit her lip. "The latest statistics from the Ministry of Magic are one thousand. Five times that number, five thousand..."

Jimmy didn't feel anything. Even though these werewolves lived a hard life that was not accepted by anyone, at least they only had to worry about the full moon every month, right?

Central Asians have to worry about being dragged into concentration camps, skinned, bled, and raped one day. Werewolves are pitiful, but compared to other sordid things, they don't seem so pitiful...

Jimmy rummaged in his pocket, pulled out the improved wolfsbane potion formula, slammed it on the table, and declared with righteous indignation, "So we want to do something for the werewolf community. This is the improved version of the wolfsbane potion formula, and it's completely public!"

He paused, then, under Hermione's adoring gaze, said, "Not only that, the Cyber ​​Corporation will also provide impoverished werewolf wizards with a job they can manage!"

Chapter 252 Battle of Wits

"The production cost of potions is a key consideration for us. Offering them for free will only breed parasites. In the future, Blaine Potions will sell the improved Wolfsbane Potion at cost price."

Under Hermione's watchful gaze, Jimmy launched into self-promotion mode, subtly and overtly disparaging the Ministry of Magic.

"After all, Cyber ​​Corporation is just a company, not the Ministry of Magic. In order to survive, Cyber ​​Corporation can only do this much."

Professor Lupin was also moved by Jimmy's generosity and kindness, saying, "No praise can adequately describe your brilliance, Jimmy. On behalf of all the werewolf victims, I thank you for your contributions."

"I can do better, provided I have a werewolf to cooperate with."

Jimmy finally revealed his purpose.

"You are welcome to come to me anytime. I think you clever folks have already guessed my identity, so I don't need Snape to promote me anymore."

Professor Lupin had no reason to refuse; he was even somewhat looking forward to what surprises Jimmy might have in store for him.

With Jimmy's help, perhaps Dumbledore's request can be fulfilled...

Soon after, a paper on the improved version of the Wolfsbane potion was published in "Practical Potions Master," attracting considerable attention.

However, the Daily Prophet did not give Jimmy the courtesy of putting this news on the front page; the front page headline was another news item about the Round Table.

The Round Table orchestrated several more attacks against the Burke family, who then publicly claimed that the Round Table had struck first.

Thus, the two forces began a chaotic battle across Britain, with the Round Table wizards, covered in tattoos and wielding various alchemical tools learned from Muggles, wreaking havoc on the Burke family.

However, the alchemists of the Burke family quickly replicated a similar weapon, making it extremely dangerous for the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to try to stop the fight.

Many Aurors have been injured as a result, and many Muggles and wizards have also been caught in the crossfire.

Currently, under the control of the Round Table, no innocent people have died except for members of the Burke family, but if the fighting continues, an accident will happen sooner or later.

Hermione was deeply distressed by this, but she also knew that the Round Table couldn't just stop whenever it wanted. The Burkes had to eliminate the Round Table in order to maintain their rule in the underworld, and the Round Table was not going to give up so easily.

The presiding judge does not have the authority to stop the normal actions of the roundtable, so she can only wait for news.

As the Round Table battles the Burke family, more and more people who have been persecuted by the Burke family join in, working together to fight against the Burke family.

The Ministry of Magic has suspended operations following the injuries of numerous Aurors, and Rufus Scrimgeour, head of the Auror office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, is requesting Cornelius Fudge to increase funding to strengthen the Aurors' combat capabilities.

Senior Yuna keenly sensed the business opportunity and led a group of business representatives to discuss cooperation.

A few days later, the Daily Prophet featured an interview with Cornelius Fudge, who said that a reliable equipment supplier had been found and that elite Aurors would be given intensive training to better protect the wizarding world in the future...

Jimmy really hadn't expected the Burke family to be so determined to protect their own interests, and the growth plan he had originally devised for Percy could be modified.

On the first day of the Easter break, Jimmy found the Percy Nine and began to plan their post-graduation paths.

First, they would fabricate a story, such as seeing someone injured, or someone someone they knew injured, feeling frustrated by the chaos in the British wizarding world, and spontaneously forming a team to maintain peace and stability in the wizarding world.

It's just saying some nice things, buying some news, and symbolically arresting a few wizards from the Burke family to expose them.

This way, they'll get exposure, and after the exams, they can directly join the Ministry of Magic. All the senior staff there will be trying to curry favor with them!

Percy and his friends were full of praise for the plan. After memorizing the script, they left the school under the escort of the wizards at the Round Table.

Students in seventh grade can apply to be day students, so their personal freedom is not restricted too much.

On the first morning after the Easter holiday, people having breakfast in the auditorium heard Ron shouting exaggeratedly.

"Impossible! Percy captured three dark wizards all by himself!"

"what?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

George and Fred rushed to Ron's side and stared in astonishment at the familiar figure on the front page of the newspaper.

The two of them were pinching each other, both wondering if they were dreaming.

They would rather believe Ron could become the Quidditch World Cup champion than Percy could become a hero in the wizarding world.

"This is absolutely fake!"

"Percy can't possibly catch the dark wizard!"

The two of them made a strange noise in the auditorium, which angered Penelock Rivat, who was also reading a newspaper.

She stood up and called across the Hufflepuff table, “George! Fred! He’s your brother, shouldn’t you be happy for him?”

George and Fred were like cats with their necks grabbed, too afraid to utter a sound.

They still held Penelock Rivat, who might become their sister-in-law, in high regard, and since they weren't very familiar with each other, they couldn't really let loose with any pranks.

In fact, Penelope, who didn't know Percy well enough, was told the truth by George and Fred.

Jimmy held the newspaper, took a sip of milk, and smiled without saying a word.

The star-making program was a great success. The Percy Nine have now become the rising stars of the wizarding world, and everyone believes that the Ministry of Magic will become better and more responsible with their participation.

Although they kept their mouths shut, Ron and George Fred still didn't believe what they were supposed to believe.

The group sat together and discussed the reasons in hushed tones, as if they were discussing a matter of utmost importance; each of them wore a solemn expression.

Because this isn't just Percy's problem, they can already imagine how their mother will compare Percy to them when they get home—it'll be a nightmare!

If they can't find the culprit behind all this before the holiday, they're doomed!

Before they even got home, they were already bombarded with all sorts of their mothers' nagging...

In the following days, more and more news reports were about Percy, and their premonition came true. Even if they didn't believe it in their hearts, it was no use; they were sure to get a scolding when they got home.

With Percy's help and the Round Table's persuasion, the trained strikers began to strike against the wizards of the Burke family. These battle-hardened strikers were all tough guys who had survived the chaotic era of the Dark Lord.

It's hard to say about other magic, but he's incredibly skilled at using the Killing Curse.

Furthermore, Jimmy shamelessly exposed the Burke family's affairs by scattering various notes, making the Burke family look quite embarrassed.

If we're going to fight, we should fight on all fronts: the economy, public opinion, and culture. If we seize the high ground in public opinion and culture, we'll have an advantage when our strengths are roughly equal.

Chapter 253 Professor Trelawney's Prophecy

Fortunately, Jimmy sat in the castle, and the evil winds and wickedness were suppressed.
