Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

The semester has finally come to an end without major incident. After a ten-week review period, everyone put all the knowledge they had learned in the year into action during the exams.

At this time of year, George and Fred would usually sell amulets that guarantee passing exams, but they didn't this year.

Firstly, because they are not short of money at the moment, and secondly, because they are facing the most important common wizard level exam in their wizarding career.

If they couldn't even pass the regular wizarding level exam, according to their mother, their entire life was over.

They have to get at least a passing grade in several of these subjects in order to get a whole holiday of nagging...

With the main subjects already completed, Jimmy took two elective exams: Ancient Runes and Magical Creatures Protection. Hagrid gave him special treatment, awarding him an excellent grade directly.

The other ancient subject, Nebula, was practically effortless; even in Potions, Snape would have to hold his nose and give him an excellent grade.

Hermione's exams went smoothly, and with the academic pressure reduced, she was able to get almost all of them, except for potions.

However, she studied arithmetic divination, so her exam was held half a day later.

After finishing his exams, Jimmy sat in the Great Hall reading while waiting for Hermione to come back for dinner.

Harry walked into the Great Hall with a heavy heart. He saw Jimmy reading a book and quickly walked over to sit down next to him, caught in a dilemma of not knowing how to start a conversation.

“Jimmy, something just happened to me, and I don’t know how to tell you. Professor Trelawney, she…”

Jimmy put down the ancient witchcraft explanation he was reading and asked lazily, "What's wrong with Trelawney?"

Recalling what had just happened, Harry was still in shock and couldn't forget it for a long time: "She said something very strange to me, and then she couldn't remember what she said after she finished speaking."

"Oh?" Jimmy put down his book, becoming slightly more serious. "What did she say?"

"Uh... the servant will summon his master on the night of the full moon, and innocent people will bleed profusely. Also... the walls will collapse, and the tide will engulf the world."

Harry repeated Trelawney's words, and Jimmy looked thoughtful, his brow furrowing slightly.

Professor Trelawney did indeed have the ability to make prophecies, but he was not a prophet by nature, so he didn't pay much attention to this prophecy.

Jimmy has already changed many established facts, and he won't abandon his actions and plans because of a vague prophecy; he just needs to pay a little attention to the preceding paragraph.

"The servant will summon his master on the night of the full moon, and innocent people will bleed profusely? You can tell Professor Dumbledore about this, and he should give you some practical advice."

To be honest, even if Voldemort were to be resurrected, it would be something he could easily handle with a little more thought.

Moreover, Voldemort is bound to resurrect eventually. It's more efficient and less time-consuming to let him come back to life and kill everyone again than to let him wander around like a ghost.

Aside from the line about innocent people bleeding profusely, which deserves some attention, the rest can be completely ignored.

Perhaps Western fatalists like Deng Xiaoping would enjoy hearing prophecies, but Jimmy didn't find them particularly interesting.

Harry hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "We'll go in a bit... Do you think it was a prophecy? I don't know what a prophecy is, but Professor Trelawney's condition is very strange, you know? She had no idea what she said after she woke up."

“Ron is right. Prophecy exists in the world of magic, and you should just treat anything you see that doesn’t conform to the common sense of ordinary society as magic.”

Jimmy glanced around for a moment, then casually asked, "Where's Ron?"

“He and Lavender are over there in the back hill.” Harry thought of the girl he liked again, and his eyes unconsciously drifted toward the Ravenclaw table.

He didn't see Cho Chang, but instead saw Hydra standing gracefully on the Slytherin table through the two long tables.

Hydra seemed to sense something, looked up and looked over, meeting his gaze across two long tables.

Harry quickly looked away, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hydra making a move to get up. He quickly got up and left as well. "Thank you, I have to go find Professor Dumbledore."

He's too embarrassed to see Hydra now. His outburst at the Quidditch pitch last time strained their relationship, and Hydra no longer comes to the Gryffindor long table for meals.

Looking back, Harry felt guilty and ashamed to face the girl.

Jimmy clicked his tongue as he watched Harry flee in disarray.

Just then, Hermione came in from the doorway, her eyes still fixed on the direction Harry had left in. After sitting down, she asked, "What's wrong with Harry? He seems to have something urgent to do."

"He went to see Professor Dumbledore about Professor Trelawney."

"Oh." Hermione lost interest as soon as she heard it was about Professor Trelawney.

Then, when she started talking about the Muggle Studies exam questions, she immediately became animated again, "The Muggle Studies exam questions were so interesting! Wizards think the internet is a pipe built underground!"

Jimmy propped his head up and nodded repeatedly as Hermione spoke.

As the semester drew to a close, Jimmy held a final heart-to-heart talk with all the classmates he knew in the auditorium, a final exchange of feelings for the third graders.

"Ginny, you've been much quieter lately."

"None of your business!" Ginny turned her head away angrily; she now disliked Jimmy very much.

Because she had moved on from the internal conflict and shifted the blame for Harry's dislike of her onto Jimmy.

It's understandable that they're going through a rebellious phase.

Jimmy then turned to Luna, who was sitting next to him with a string of bottle corks around her neck, and bowed slightly to meet her gaze. "Luna, are you planning to go see Quidditch during the holidays? I can get you free insider tickets. If you'd like, you can bring your family or friends."

"Thank you, Jimmy. I'm planning to go to the Norwegian forest with my dad this summer to look for the Curved Horned Snorkel, so it's a shame I can't go to the Quidditch World Cup."

Luna's voice remained ethereal as ever, and her eyes were always unfocused, as if she were looking at the air between the two of them.

"Okay, I'll mail you some souvenirs."

Jimmy got up, no longer wanting to disturb the elegant Luna, and continued socializing with people he knew.

After completing the round, his network of contacts was well maintained, making it another fruitful day.

The small door of the auditorium opened, and many professors entered the auditorium and sat down at the long table.

The chattering group of students below returned to their seats and stopped talking.

At the final dinner before leaving school, Professor Dumbledore, as was his custom, took to the podium and began to announce this year's College Cup winner.

Without a doubt, it's Gryffindor. With Jimmy and Hermione, two ruthless score-generating machines, and Harry's Quidditch championship, it would be difficult for Gryffindor not to win.

Chapter 254 Side Effects of the Improved Wolfsbane Potion

Many people noticed the change at the professors' table; one person was missing—Professor Lu Ping, whom everyone was already familiar with, was not there.

"Why isn't Professor Lupin here?" Hermione was the first to notice this.

Jimmy, unsure of what was going on, guessed, "Maybe they've already resigned?"

"Professor Lupin isn't planning to teach in the fourth year?" Hermione asked, sounding surprised as if she were hearing this for the first time.

Jimmy explained, "Professor Lupin said he had to go do some work for Dumbledore afterward, so he probably won't have time to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts anymore, right?"

"No!" Hermione still felt something was off. "He shouldn't be absent, and it's not a full moon... Should we go find Professor Lupin later?"

"Row."

Jimmy did not object. After listening to Professor Dumbledore's dinner speech, the sumptuous food on the table temporarily made them forget about Professor Lupin.

After finishing their meal, the two went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A familiar voice came from behind the door.

The two pushed open the door and entered the somewhat dimly lit office. Professor Lu Ping was sitting behind his desk, on which several plates with unfinished food were placed.

Jimmy and Hermione were both so surprised by Professor Lupin's appearance that their mouths dropped open.

Lupin smiled, picked up his wand, and touched the candlesticks around the office one by one. The light illuminated the entire office, as well as his face hidden in the shadows.

It was a face covered in black hair, densely packed but not completely covering the skin, like a sparsely haired chimpanzee.

Jimmy also noticed that Professor Lupin's hands were covered in hair and his nails were long and sharp.

"Professor Lupin, what's wrong?" Hermione asked worriedly. Professor Lupin had drunk Jimmy's potion when he transformed a few days ago. Could it be...?

Professor Lupin grinned broadly, his once neat teeth now appearing somewhat crooked and sharp. "The improved potion does have a few side effects, but it's truly excellent; it suppressed my transformation."

"Can't it be changed back now?" Jimmy took out his notebook, wanting to record Lupin's true feelings so that he could improve the potion.

Lupin shrugged and said, "Not for now, but I can use the Restoration Charm to return to normal appearance during the day. Actually, this is already quite good. If we wear hats and masks, no one will mistake us for werewolves when we go out."

He patiently encouraged Jimmy, afraid that Jimmy would get stuck on something and think that he hadn't done enough.

Lupin, who had this idea, still didn't understand Jimmy enough.

Jimmy asked a few more questions, from the feeling of transforming into a werewolf to whether the various physical changes affected the use of magic...

In short, all sorts of questions were asked, and Professor Lu Ping underwent a full-body examination.

Only after confirming that the potion would not pose a life-threatening danger to Professor Lupin did Jimmy feel at ease enough to draw blood with a syringe.

This blood will be used later. The werewolf's curse is spread through blood and bodily fluids, and blood research is needed to solve the werewolf problem.

"I understand the situation. Don't worry, the problem of not being able to return to normal should be resolved by the next semester."

Jimmy patted his chest and made a firm promise, which made Lupin, who was trying to comfort Jimmy, chuckle.

"Well, I'm leaving next semester. Snape won't allow me to continue teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts next year; he doesn't have that much patience."

As Professor Lu Ping spoke, he took out two small gift boxes from the drawer and handed them to the two people.

"This is a gift for you, as a farewell present. I hope you will like it."

Inside the box were two beautiful brooches, a pair; it really was just a small gift.

Hermione already knew about Snape's generation from Jimmy, so she didn't try to stop him. After accepting the gift and saying thank you, she asked, "So, what are Professor Lupin planning to do next? Do you have a new job? If not, you could come to Cyber ​​Corporation."

After hearing Hermione's words, Lupin politely declined, saying, "Dumbledore has arranged a new job for me, and I would be happy to do it for him. The new job is also very meaningful. I know some friends who need a job more than I do."

"Of course, Cyber ​​Group can still accommodate a lot of people, provided they work. Any behavior that involves getting something for nothing is not worth advocating."

Jimmy made a disclaimer so that he wouldn't hold back when dealing with some incorrigible people.

Lupin strongly agreed with this statement, saying, "Of course, they will cherish this job."

Leaving the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, Jimmy flipped through his notebook and suddenly realized he seemed to have become busy again.

The new fitness potion and wolfsbane potion alone will take a lot of effort, as will helping Hermione train, advising the Round Table, and overseeing the progress of the Quidditch World Cup during the summer vacation...

"I'm so busy!" After looking at the list of tasks, Jimmy said in a lazy dog's voice, "I don't want to work anymore."

Hermione took his hand and comforted him, "These tasks aren't urgent, there's no need to finish them immediately. Take a good rest during the holidays. Where are you staying for the summer?"

Jimmy, who had just wanted some emotional support, was fully recharged and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I'll go home!"

"Go home?" Hermione's mind was a little slow to process it. Although it wasn't very polite, wasn't Jimmy an orphan?

Jimmy explained matter-of-factly, "Isn't your house my house?"

Hermione immediately stopped worrying and gave him a smiling, glaring look.
