Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

The competition continued for several days, with songs from both the Wizarding World and the Muggle World mixed together. Finally, after the Quidditch World Cup champion was crowned, the competition concluded with Queen's classic hit "We Are the Champions."

Music, crowds, and the thrill of winning – this will be the best Quidditch World Cup ever!

The more enthusiastic the crowd, the greater the probability of them making impulsive purchases!

The bands that received this music were urged to practice day and night, constantly testing the effects of the megaphones.

Three days before the start of the Quidditch World Cup, a weary Cornelius Fudge arrived at the Quidditch World Cup stadium in a Thestral carriage to inspect the event.

To demonstrate more clearly that outsourcing the Quidditch World Cup to Cyber ​​Corporation was the right choice, Jimmy arranged a live rehearsal and invited everyone in the camp to watch it together.

Security guards, Aurors, and shop assistants who had moved into the store early, along with members of the dozen or so Quidditch teams preparing for exhibition matches and official games.

Jimmy also spotted Rita Skeeter in the group of reporters. This woman had disappeared for some time, and when she reappeared, she had swelled up considerably.

If it weren't for her wearing those exaggerated gemstone glasses and having long fingernails, he wouldn't have recognized her at all.

The seats in the arena were mostly empty, but the more than 1,000 people present still gave the performing bands and dance troupes a warm round of applause.

Connelly Fudge and Ludo Bagman even stood up from their chairs, clapping excitedly. The effect was amazing; even though there were only a little over a thousand people there, they could feel the atmosphere that was about to be stirred up.

From the construction of facilities outside the venue to the arrangement of the competition schedule, the music that enhances the atmosphere, and the wide variety of souvenirs, everything reflects the dedication and grandeur of this event.

"I can't see any problems! This will be an unprecedented event!" Cornelius Fudge's face was radiant, the fatigue on his face swept away by the rehearsal.

Ludobagman also flattered him repeatedly, saying, "Jimmy is always very reliable. The fact that he dared to outsource this event to Cyber ​​Group is a result of your foresight and bold innovation, Minister!"

Jimmy smiled modestly, too lazy to say anything, since the agreed-upon profit sharing couldn't be changed.

“Unfortunately, I can’t be there for the finals; I have an important meeting at the International Wizarding Federation.” Cornelius Fudge sighed again, looking at Jimmy. “From now on, this place is in your hands, Jimmy. I have faith in your abilities!”

Cornelius might be wary of Dumbledore taking away his power and position, but he wasn't worried about Jimmy, who was more outstanding than Dumbledore at the same age.

Because there was a difference of several decades between them, and they still had nearly four years left before graduating from Hogwarts.

Moreover, with Cyber ​​Corporation and the Round Table under his control, Jimmy might not even be interested in the position of Minister of Magic.

The round table represents both power and leverage. If Jimmy tries to take his position before he retires, he can simply make the round table issue public.

Taking all factors into consideration, Connelly Fudge simply couldn't come up with a reason to target Jimmy.

Jimmy readily agreed with a smile; it was better without the Minister of Magic above him, as he wouldn't feel constrained.

After offering some words of encouragement, Cornelius Fudge put his hat back on, boarded a Thestral carriage, and waved goodbye to the people at the camp.

Reporters from various newspapers who had watched the rehearsal boarded their respective vehicles to quickly write up everything they saw and send it to their local newspapers.

This unprecedented and exciting Quidditch World Cup must be known to everyone!

On the penultimate day, wizards from other countries began arriving at the Quidditch World Cup camp early, finding their rooms with the help of ticket checks and the Alchemist Orb.

On the last day before the event, tens of thousands of wizards arrived at the Quidditch World Cup camp through various means, and Jimmy arranged for all the staff to change into uniforms and begin their work.

They were tasked with handling various disputes and troubles, but due to their lack of experience, they still encountered some difficulties in doing the work.

In the afternoon, Jimmy went to check on the sales situation of his store.

After seeing the bustling Blaine Potions and Raccoon Restaurant, he arrived at the Dragon Gym.

The gym was also very lively. In the vast space where the Unfathomable Expansion Spell had been cast, almost every piece of exercise equipment was occupied.

Dozens of gym employees were trying to sell Qunbolong, an exclusive fitness supplement from Julong Gym, to the customers, but the sales process was not going very smoothly due to the language barrier.

Fortunately, Jimmy had prepared many simultaneous translators in advance, so the figures on paper were still very impressive.

The gym isn't just for men; there are quite a few women there too, mostly women who come to admire the muscular men.

Jimmy spotted a group of muscular men being stared at by a stalker in a corner. Upon closer inspection, he realized that these muscular men were all acquaintances.

Chapter 268 is about to begin.

Upon seeing Jimmy outside the crowd, Seymour dropped his dumbbells, pointed at Jimmy, and shouted, "Hey, Jimmy! It's Jimmy! This place is amazing! I never thought I'd find a gym while watching the Quidditch World Cup!"

After drinking Qunbolong for several months, Ximo's body had become very tall and strong, reaching a height of at least 1.8 meters.

He deliberately shaved his head into a buzz cut, but his head looks pointy...

Jimmy walked over with a smile, raised his hand and gave Seamus a high five, then bumped shoulders with him to separate. "Hey, Seamus, you guys seem to be the first ones here. Harry and Ron won't be here until tomorrow."

The gym wasn't just for Simo; there were other upperclassmen and underclassmen, almost all of whom came from the gym founded by Haig.

Hey Jimmy!

"Jimmy!"

They all greeted Jimmy, their faces showing gratitude as if they were seeing their second parents.

"Haha, you guys keep practicing, I'm going to check out other places." Jimmy waved to them, then called over a waiter and pointed generously at the group of strapping young men, "They're my friends, all their bills are 30% off!"

Anyway, the 30% discount here is only 0.5% cheaper than the normal price.

After leaving the gym, Jimmy went to the Raccoon Alchemy Workshop, where there were quite a few people playing cards. The development of the fourth-generation auto chess game, Legion Wars, is nearing completion.

In the center of the Alchemy Workshop, there was a huge initial legion war board for people to try out. There were more people around the board than in a gym, and they were all shouting excitedly.

"Do you know how to run a business? If you hollow out the rocks between two connected gold mines, you'll have the money to build a wall to surround the other side!"

"Attack the supply lines!"

"Do you even know how to play? If you don't, then get the hell out of here!"

"How can it be repaired?"

"Hahaha, look down at your castle!"

"What?! No! Slaughter them all! Kill them all!"

Are all the wizards from the Little Days here?

Jimmy squeezed into the crowd of onlookers, watching as the little wizard hastily dispatched his cavalry to the town opposite, successfully causing his house to explode before the castle opposite him could crumble.

After someone loses, another person immediately kicks aside the flag bearer and stands in the flag bearer's position.

The various miniature terrains on the chessboard began to change, forming a hilly landscape.

The new competition began, and everyone was cursing with great relish, all complaining about the flag bearer's nonsensical and chaotic commands.

In short, they all had a great time. There weren't as many people around the other types of poker tables, but there were still quite a few of them.

Looking at the ledger, there are over a hundred people who have reserved the Legion Wars large chessboard, and even more people who have bought other types of cards.

Even without watching the matches, this Quidditch World Cup event can still be supported by various businesses.

Jimmy quickly left and went to the organizer's temporary command and control center, a stand located at the highest point of the stadium.

Hermione, who has demonstrated her management talent, and Barty Crouch, who is quite experienced, are stationed here to handle all sorts of emergencies and strange problems.

For example, some people complained that the Bulgarian team's Veela sat on the side of the main road, bewitching the surrounding wizards and causing traffic jams.

There have also been cases where lost items were found to have been eaten by someone else's pet goat...

"Phew! Everything's normal outside, the event is going smoothly." Jimmy sat down at the table in the middle, picked up Hermione's mug, and took a sip of the milk tea inside. "Too sweet, be careful you don't get fat later."

Hermione glared at him and snatched the cup back. "If you don't like it, you don't have to drink it!"

Old Batty and Crouch remained silent, only looking down at the data.

Jimmy ignored Barty Crouch's presence and said with a grin, "It's okay to have a drink now and then, just don't overdo it. Want to go for a walk? It's quite lively outside now!"

Hermione shook her head, put down her mug, and said, "Let's wait until Harry and the others arrive tomorrow. Let's help out more and let the others rest."

Seeing that she was quite determined, Jimmy didn't continue to persuade her, and instead focused his gaze on Batty Crouch's face.

"Chief Crouch, it's so lively outside! Did your family come along?"

Barty Crouch felt a jolt in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, his eyes still fixed on the documents in his hands, and slowly shook his head.

Seeing that Barty Crouch Sr. didn't reply, Jimmy narrowed his eyes and then brought up another person, "Speaking of which, Chief Crouch, have you seen Percy Weasley? I mentioned to the Ministry of Magic last time that we should transfer Senior Percy to the Quidditch World Cup, didn't he come?"

On the surface, all matters related to the Quidditch World Cup are still managed by Barty Crouch, and he is also in charge of personnel transfers.

Jimmy originally wanted Percy to gain experience, but they got stuck with HR.

This time, Barty Crouch did not remain silent and said, "Secretary Fudge had higher expectations of him and always kept him by his side while he worked."

"Oh! I see." Jimmy understood.

No wonder Percy hasn't had time to reply to emails lately; he's been pulled into hard labor, probably dealing with a leak.

Jimmy, having nothing better to do, chatted about all sorts of things to pass the time until the shift changers arrived in the afternoon. Only then did he and Hermione return to their tent in Nottingham Village to rest.

The two went to bed early after dinner, because tomorrow was the opening ceremony of the Quidditch World Cup, which was crucial to whether this Quidditch World Cup would be recorded in history.

The next day, before dawn, the alarm clock woke them up.

As the organizers, the two had to be on-site to ensure that everything was arranged correctly, and they also had to be present in front of reporters.

Hermione stood in front of the full-length mirror, fiddling with her messy hair, then turned to a sleepy Jimmy and asked, "Can you braid hair?"

"Oh!" Jimmy's mind cleared a bit, and he jumped out of bed. "I can do it, let me do it!"

Hermione sat down in a chair and asked Jimmy to help her with her hair.

This long, messy hair is indeed difficult to manage, but braiding it into plaits does make it look less messy.

Jimmy even made a big bow at the back of Hermione's head, and then used a smoothing hair product to make the hair in front of her forehead that couldn't be braided smooth.

After all that, she looked like a completely different person, so much so that Jimmy couldn't help but cover Hermione's neck with his face and rub against her.

"Hahaha! Get away, it tickles! Haha, stop fooling around, we have to go to work!"

Hermione, who was admiring her new hairstyle, lost the serious expression she had practiced beforehand after this commotion.

After some playful fighting, Hermione took off her pajamas and changed into a black business suit, along with a pencil skirt.

Adding short-heeled leather shoes gives it a bit of a professional woman's vibe.

As one of the key personnel who needed to be in the spotlight, Jimmy also changed into a formal suit and combed his hair back to look like an adult.

After changing, Jimmy kept admiring himself in the mirror, and then asked Hermione with a rather smug look, "Do I look handsome?"

Hermione covered her mouth and chuckled softly a few times, without answering.
