Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?
Page 151
Without even thinking, he knew that the wizarding world's secrecy laws were somewhat outdated.
Putting aside other things, the increasingly developed internet has already broken through many information blockades.
The UK has been accelerating the adoption of computers recently. The latest Windows system makes computers easy to operate, and major universities and libraries have taken the lead in introducing computer equipment. Computers can also be seen in a large number of offices and banks.
The amount of information transmitted by these networked computers was unimaginable in the era of letters and telephones. George himself wanted to buy a home computer or get an electronic system installed in his dental clinic.
News outlets and experts are constantly popularizing the benefits of the internet and home computers, although much of it is to promote computers. However, this trend is unlikely to change, and the increasing number of surveillance cameras on the streets is making the world more transparent.
Wizards are destined not to remain hidden for long, unless they can all become invisible.
Unfortunately, unconventional wizards cannot deliberately hide themselves; some wizards will even display their strangeness in front of ordinary people.
Moreover, the actions of wizards affect a large number of people every day, and the Accidental Event Reversal Team and the Memory Deletion Command are the two busiest departments in the Ministry of Magic.
"Your suggestion is excellent, so why don't they agree?" Uncle George praised Jimmy's suggestion to make a movie again.
This method of hiding in plain sight is the best way to salvage the secrecy law, even if it sounds shocking.
After all, no one would have imagined that everything that happened in the movie was real.
Jimmy shrugged and said, "Wizards are too conservative. Their understanding of Muggle society is still stuck in the Victorian era. They can't even imagine what would happen if they made a movie about wizards and showed it to ordinary people."
"Does anyone know the identities of those witch hunters?" Hermione thought for a long time before finally asking the question in front of her parents.
The family's mood immediately turned somber when the topic of witch hunts came up.
Hermione is a witch, and they can't change that fact. The fat sheriff said that those witch-hunting cultists would attack again after their mission failed.
If they can't find a solution, they will live in fear for the rest of their lives, and the wizard's parents may also become targets of revenge.
Hermione brought it up now precisely because this is not a matter for one person alone.
Uncle George and Aunt Mia are just ordinary people. The only way they can protect themselves is to call the police, so they naturally don't have any ideas right now.
Jimmy could procure some alchemical tools to protect the two of them, but those tools are ultimately limited, and there's always the possibility of them being lost or forgotten.
"I have a suggestion: why don't we just leave Britain and move to some mysterious Eastern country?"
No one spoke until Jimmy finally spoke first.
In the original books, Hermione also made the choice to have her parents move away from England, but this time it wasn't to Australia, but to a mysterious Eastern country.
At this time, the social environment of a certain mysterious Eastern superpower is undergoing a major overhaul and will soon become one of the safest countries in the world. If you move there now and make a small investment, you won't have to worry about your future life.
This is a good choice, and the language problem is easy to solve. Jimmy has a complete set of Chinese knowledge in his head, so it's not difficult to use alchemy to create a translation software and learning tools.
Uncle George indeed raised several common questions: language, environment, food...
The food issue was unnecessary. Jimmy addressed several questions one by one: "Language can be solved with props, the environment isn't as bad as you think, and the news media reports are unreliable."
As for how to make a living, you can take the money and continue running your clinic, or find a job at a hospital, or you can make some investments. I know a few projects…”
After explaining all the concerns, he then talked about the benefits of immigrating to a certain mysterious Eastern country.
"As far as I know, that is the place with the strictest control over wizards in the world. You can be absolutely safe there, and the control over religious organizations and all kinds of criminal activities is also very strict."
Jimmy reassured them, "You can treat it as a long trip and go back to England after you've resolved things here."
After hearing the whole story, Uncle George and Aunt Mia were both thinking.
It takes immense courage to leave one's native Britain and live in a foreign country.
However, fear can also be a source of courage, and out of concern for attacks by cult members, they seriously considered the feasibility of the proposal.
This will take some time...
“We need to think about it, Jimmy…”
Uncle George and Aunt Mia went upstairs to think things over privately, leaving the two of them in the living room.
Jimmy also let out a long sigh of relief. Immigrating directly to a mysterious Eastern superpower was the simplest and most effective way to protect himself, and it was all for the good of everyone.
Even Hermione, who was heartbroken by this, agreed with the immigration plan. She didn't know much about the mysterious Eastern superpower, but she trusted Jimmy's judgment.
Hermione leaned silently against Jimmy, pondering this sudden question.
Chapter 261 Visiting the Longbottom House
Jimmy sat on the sofa with Hermione. For Hermione, the sudden loss of her parents, with whom she had spent so much time, would cause her great discomfort.
After living at Hogwarts boarding school for three years, the long separation was no longer so hard to accept; however, there was always a difference between not being able to see each other during holidays and not being able to see each other for several years.
"Are we really leaving England?" Hermione asked softly, her voice once again carrying the same gentleness she had in her first year.
Jimmy added quietly, "It's not the only option, but it's the best one. If you'd like, your aunt and uncle could move to the wizarding community..."
"Never mind..." Hermione pouted. Moving to the wizarding community was no better than going abroad. At least there wouldn't be so many evil dark wizards there.
She really doesn't know where in the country is safe now. In the wizarding world there are the Burke families, and in ordinary people's society there are witch hunter cultists.
After much deliberation, the best solution turned out to be to seek refuge abroad first...
When did Britain become such a dangerous place?
After sitting there for more than half an hour, Jimmy, seeing that it was about time, gently released Hermione and said, "I'll go cook."
Hermione, having come to her senses, also stood up and said, "I'll help."
Jimmy naturally makes Chinese food; he has a full set of ingredients and seasonings in his pocket, and with the help of magic, he can quickly prepare it.
Uncle George and Aunt Mia came down halfway through. They seemed to have already discussed it and were much more relaxed than before.
During the meal, Uncle George also mentioned the decision he and Aunt Mia had made together: "We plan to immigrate to a mysterious Eastern country. For our safety, and for your sake."
Aunt Mia's eyes were more tender than ever before. "You've all grown up, and Jimmy has a career now. I think we can go and enjoy life."
“That’s only right. Uncle and Aunt, you’re still young. It’s good for you to see the world. Hermione’s gold earnings are all kept here with me. If you don’t have enough money, you can sell the gold.”
Jimmy pulled out a bag of Galleons. These magical coins were actually gold, and after being melted, they would lose the fairy's identification magic, but could be circulated as ordinary gold.
Hermione hadn't discussed this with her beforehand, but after a slight surprise, she nodded and said, "This is money I earned from part-time jobs."
"What kind of part-time job can earn so much money?" Uncle George opened the bag and was dazzled by the Galleons inside; there were at least several thousand of them.
Each Galleon weighs 15 grams, and this bag of gold coins weighs approximately 40 kilograms, which could be exchanged for roughly £300,000.
This is no small sum of money for their family.
Hermione explained, "I work at Jimmy's company, and his career is going very well right now."
Starting a company in the Wizarding World is exactly the same as starting a company in the Muggle World. As long as you have a good product, it's easy to grow to a large scale in a short period of time.
“My company generates hundreds of thousands of gold coins in revenue every year, and we can take care of ourselves.” Jimmy immediately puffed out his chest to make himself sound more reliable.
This did indeed increase Uncle George and Aunt Mia's trust in him, and after a brief hesitation, they accepted the money.
When moving to a strange place where the rule of law exists, it's always good to have extra money on hand.
After dinner, they stayed in the living room watching TV, and the task of washing the dishes was solved with magic.
Under the background noise of the television, Uncle George had a long talk with Jimmy, mostly about his opinions of him and his hopes that Jimmy would take good care of Hermione...
Aunt Mia also talked a lot about Hermione's childhood, which helped Jimmy understand Hermione better.
At the same time, they also gave Hermione a lot of nagging instructions and reminded her of all sorts of things to pay attention to in daily life.
Hermione listened to the whole thing while crying, then snuggled into her mother's arms just like when she was a child, hiding in her mother's arms and crying whenever she was sad.
Selling gold, applying for visas, reselling shops and other mundane tasks took a lot of time, and Jimmy and Hermione spent all of that time with Uncle George and Aunt Mia.
They prioritized speed, and while they discounted their assets, they still managed to book tickets to South Korea ten days later. From there, they would transfer to a mysterious Eastern superpower.
With the life guide and alchemy translator given to him by Jimmy, Uncle George waved goodbye to the two.
Jimmy stayed with Hermione until the plane slowly shrank into a tiny dot.
Hermione seemed to belong to a different world from the bustling airport waiting area; the fledgling bird eventually left its parents' wings.
She sighed sadly, but finally turned around resolutely and said, "Let's go back."
Jimmy turned around and asked with a smile, "Did you ever think about what it would be like if everyone in your family disappeared when you were a child?"
Hermione thought for a moment and replied, "I'll cook for myself, clean my own house, and live like an adult."
Almost every child fantasizes about living alone after their parents disappear when they are young.
After returning to Granger's house, they experienced this kind of life, visiting many of the places where adults spent their time, and at night he and Hermione even slept together in the master bedroom.
But not all adult things need to be experienced. After playing to their hearts' content, the two woke up the next day and started putting dust covers on the furniture in the house and putting all the small ornaments and photos into boxes.
After everything was tidied up, Hermione locked the house herself, then stood at the door for a moment before the two of them Apparated and disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they were already at the entrance of the Raccoon Alchemy Workshop in Diagon Alley.
They plan to visit the Longbottom family today, and Jimmy had already informed Neville in advance by writing to him the day before yesterday.
Entering the still bustling Raccoon Alchemy Workshop, Jimmy greeted the newly replaced staff and headed straight into the depths of the shop.
"Should we bring a gift? A bottle of red wine?" In the Western world, it's customary to visit friends at their homes. Hermione was wondering if she should bring a bottle of red wine, as it's a common choice.
Jimmy took out some pastries he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed them to her, smiling, "We're still minors, so one box of pastries is enough."
Hermione took the pastries and put the box back in her pocket, not wanting the ashes to stick to it.
The two stood in the Floo net and together said "Longbottom Manor".
The feeling of being shoved into a tube and rushed through it is never comfortable, no matter how many times you experience it. Anyway, after a flash of bright green light, the two of them appeared at Longbottom Manor.
Neville was sitting in front of the fireplace, idly playing with the vines that were waving their tentacles, when suddenly the fireplace flashed with light.
Upon seeing the figures appear in Jimmy's fireplace, he immediately forgot about the precious knotted vine in his hand, a smile spreading across his face as he hurried forward to greet them, "Jimmy, Hermione! You've finally arrived!"
Chapter 262 Frank Longbottom's Work
"Neville, this is a gift for you, a box of pastries." Hermione took the box of pastries out of her pocket and handed it over.
Neville smiled and accepted the gift, then stepped forward and said, "Thank you. We're very welcome even without a gift. Please have a seat. I'll go call my parents!"
The fireplace faced the living room, and Jimmy and Hermione were led by Neville to sit on the sofa, where the automatic teapot immediately poured them a cup of black tea.
Jimmy declined the sugar cube's offer to jump in and instead drank his plain black tea.
Soon, footsteps approached. Neville hadn't returned yet, and a radiant old lady appeared in the living room.
