Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

"There is no need to feel guilty. No one can remain calm when faced with a life-threatening danger."

Jimmy waved to the man and casually pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket. "Sorry, because what we're doing requires confidentiality, you'll need to sign a binding contract before you can leave."

The Hufflepuff senior didn't hesitate much. After signing her name and receiving 1,000 Galleons, she left.

No one stopped him, after all, Jimmy wasn't really rebelling.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, three more people said they wanted to withdraw, signed the papers, and left with the money.

Ten suffocating minutes passed, and no one left.

Jimmy put away the parchment, smiled, and said, "I give a thousand Galleons to those who betray me, and those who remain loyal to that noble goal in the future will gain fame and status! Applause, please!"

clap clap clap!

The employees in the audience clapped their hands, all of them breathing a sigh of relief, and there was also a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

After all, their average age is less than 23, their bodies still have energy, and the blood flowing in their hearts is still hot.

Jimmy repaired the broken blackboard behind him, smoothed out the writing, and then began drawing the Christmas tree curtain.

The top level represents the ultimate goal of "liberating the wizarding world," while the lower branches are the organizational names of the "Round Table."

Starting from the "round table," the icon on the right, connected by a straight line, is a scale and gavel, representing a court responsible for overseeing and punishing those who betray their beliefs.

Below are 12 round tables, representing the Knights of the Round Table, one of the highest ranks within the organization.

There is one Grand Knight Commander among the 12 people. When there are events that require major decisions, they gather together for a meeting. The Grand Knight Commander acts as the arbitrator, and the decision is passed if more than 6 people agree.

Each knight also has some power and is responsible for the affairs of a section, but now that the organization is newly established, all 11 positions are vacant, with only Jimmy as the Grand Knight Commander in charge of the refereeing body.

This sounds like some kind of authoritarian organization, but Jimmy just wants the whole thing to protect his property. The content is completely plagiarized, and he doesn't care much about the details.

Below the Knights is the Continental Bar, currently the only one located in Hogsmeade.

Jimmy gave a brief introduction to the role of bars on the mainland, followed by other service establishments.

Arsenal: Provides wands and various items for combat.

Inn: to conduct buying and selling and intelligence trading.

Clinic: A place where injured wizards are treated.

Station: Provides door keys for quick transfer.

The Round Table organization also has a clear promotion path, with the lowest level being the Free Men, which are ordinary wizards who rely on this system to do some bounty missions.

You can exchange contribution points for clown coins, and 5 clown coins can be exchanged for a job opportunity.

Newly hired freelancers will be assigned to one of six local service organizations based on their skills: mainland bars, armories, post stations, clinics, and train stations.

Start as a junior employee in the organization, pass the assessment to become a junior manager, do well in junior management to be promoted to middle management, and finally to senior management.

The higher-ups include bar assistant manager, armory manager, post station manager, clinic manager, station manager, or those who enter the courthouse.

Finally, the manager of the mainland bar will be selected from the supervisors of these places. The selection process involves a general election, a knight's assessment, and an investigation by the tribunal. Only those who pass the three-way evaluation will be appointed.

If the manager of a regional bar performs well, they can be promoted to regional general manager, and then the regional general manager has the opportunity to become one of the 12 knights.

The key is to use a more mature system to first recruit those who can't survive, then further differentiate the gray areas, separating those who are powerless from the truly evil ones.

"Gentlemen, victory is revolution, defeat is rebellion," Jimmy said solemnly. "I don't know you yet. You can write down your strengths and desired positions, and I will make arrangements. The capable will rise, the mediocre will step aside, and the incompetent will be dismissed."

He was amused by his own childish game, but seeing the expectant looks on the faces of his employees below, he managed to keep a straight face.

With enough Gallon, it's not impossible.

The essence of power is the inertia of belief. As long as people believe they have become a member of an organization, and as long as it continues to operate, inertia will make the system unbreakable.

Jimmy handed out papers and asked the remaining 85 employees to write down their special skills and desired positions.

After writing it down, Jimmy put the note away without looking at it. Instead, he clapped his hands and said, "I can't decide who gets the position in one day. Today's meeting is over. Now we need an unbreakable oath to protect this secret."

He believes one of the reasons the High Table system works in this world is that magic can indeed protect secrets.

Chapter 175 Travel

After making sure everyone kept the secret under an unbreakable oath, Jimmy announced the dismissal, and the employees rose nervously and headed towards the fireplace.

“You must be careful of unfamiliar wizards approaching. Those purebloods may not be able to defeat me, but I am worried that they may attack you.”

Watching the people slowly leave, he still spoke up to remind them.

"Don't worry, Grand Knight Commander, we'll be careful!" Langdon shouted, jumping up from the crowd.

Jimmy's toes curled up in embarrassment at how quickly someone was using such childish job titles. "Okay, if you encounter any problems you can't solve, have the owl write to me."

After all the employees left, he waved his hands like a conductor, and the messy tables and chairs automatically returned to their original state.

Jimmy didn't leave the Continental Bar; instead, he rested on the sofa on the second floor. Before resting, he needed to finalize his security plan.

The Roundtable organization needs to generate its own foreign exchange to operate; otherwise, no matter how much money other shops make and pour into the Roundtable organization, it won't last long.

Using wizards as assassins is absolutely out of the question. At most, they can act as middlemen, allowing those persecuted by dark wizards to offer bounties for fugitives, or to offer bounties for finding rare materials to earn commissions, or to smuggle rare materials, providing opportunities for vulnerable groups to make money and taking a cut.

The wizarding world is full of people who don't fare well, such as werewolves. There are quite a few werewolves hiding in Knockturn Alley, and there are bound to be some among them willing to do some dirty and hard work.

Getting dirty and tired is better than not having a meal or committing a crime.

With this simple idea in mind, Jimmy took out a notebook and started writing a table of contents. But the more he wrote, the more there was, until it ended up being several pages long and densely packed.

He was dumbfounded to discover that setting up an organization was more complicated than he had imagined...

There's no way around it; I started it on a whim, so I have to finish it even if I'm crying!

For three consecutive days, Jimmy was refining the roundtable's operational model, from daily management, logistical responsibilities, and professional training, to how to conduct business and how to select the locations of service providers...

He was so busy his head was about to explode. He had to make countless decisions and control every detail. Even during his breaks, he had to review the self-recommendation materials of his employees and judge whether they were qualified for the positions they mentioned.

Purchase anonymous wands, prepare healing potions, hire employees, and promote the product/service...

Damn it, why is this so expensive!

Jimmy threw down his pen, stroked his chin, scratched his head, and pondered wildly, deciding to add a new business to his portfolio: robbery.

Not only did they rob the rich to help the poor, but they also robbed black wizards and those unscrupulous people of their money, and then used that money to maintain social stability.

If it is taken from the people and used for the people, no one will suffer a loss!

Just then, a little owl fluttered in through the window, bringing a white letter.

The letter was signed Hermione. When Jimmy saw the letter, he immediately remembered that he was supposed to travel to France with Hermione.

The time now seems to be... He turned his head to look at the date on the automatically flipping calendar on the wall: July 12th!

broken!

Jimmy jumped to his feet in surprise and quickly opened the letter to read it. Hermione's letter was full of doubt and concern, but in the questions asking if he had encountered an accident, he sensed a hint of resentment.

Fortunately, Hermione had left the departure time and route in the letter.

Uncle George plans to drive to France through the newly opened Eurotunnel.

The formalities were completed, but train seats in the Eurotunnel were limited and would not be available if you missed your deadline, so they had already departed by the time Jimmy received the letter.

Jimmy had to rely on the great owl messenger to find Hermione. After releasing the owl, he rode on Della... oh no, I mean Hydra's Nimbus 2001, which was a Christmas gift, and flew with the owl.

After flying for a while, feeling that the owl was flying too slowly, I grabbed the owl that was flying in mid-air and said, "You're flying too slowly, hurry up and show me the way!"

The owl then stretched out a claw and poked in the direction of London.

Are they still in London?

Jimmy turned back to Hogsmeade, quickly teleported back to Diagon Alley via the Floo Network, and then took off from Diagon Alley, flying southeast.

They gradually flew to a port, where cars were lined up not far away, and there was another railway track next to it where cars were parked.

The owl hooted once and gestured with its claws that the person was below.

Jimmy no longer needed the owl, so he stuffed some jerky into its beak and released it.

Because from the trains queuing below, a familiar car window was sticking out and waving at him.

Jimmy put away the broom and began to freefall. He seized the opportunity to use Apparition.

After a sound like a robe being whipped around, the car suddenly jolted. Jimmy was already sitting in the back seat, startling Uncle George and Aunt Mia who were already in the car.

Hermione turned around in surprise, looking at him seriously and asking, "You used magic outside of school? Was that Apparition?"

“Uncle George, Aunt Mia, it’s been a long time.” Jimmy greeted the two elders first, and then whispered to Hermione, “I didn’t use a wand, so the Ministry of Magic can’t confirm that I used magic.”

"You're breaking the rules again..." Hermione sighed helplessly, looking at Jimmy as if she were looking at a child who would never grow up.

"Jimmy, it's so nice to see you! You look like you've grown taller!" Aunt Mia didn't know anything about magic; she was simply delighted to see Jimmy.

Uncle George did the same, but he looked at Jimmy with a strange expression. "Hermione told us a long time ago that you were coming yesterday. Breaking a promise is not a good habit!"

Although Hermione had a premonition when she first brought Jimmy to her house, she still felt a little awkward when she actually saw the subtle intimacy between the two of them.

Hmm... not bad, at least not the weird kind of person.

The fact that Uncle George could use such didactic words to lecture him shows that Uncle George approves of him.

Jimmy immediately demonstrated his excellent ability to be flexible and apologized to Hermione, "I'm sorry, Hermione. I was busy with the shop the other day and didn't keep track of time. I came over as soon as I received your letter!"

"Then... I forgive you."

Hermione didn't hold a grudge against Jimmy's sincere apology. The fact that he came to apologize as soon as he received the letter showed that it wasn't intentional.

At this point, the blocked lane moved forward three spaces.

The people on the bus seemed to have opened a floodgate of conversation, chatting about all sorts of things.

Uncle George described the world's longest undersea tunnel, which was supposed to be completed next year, as a miracle, before turning to ask Jimmy about his progress in the wizarding world.

"That's great. Now I'm the most outstanding entrepreneur in the wizarding world, and my future is secure. Even if I don't work, I'll have more money than I can spend in a lifetime!"

Jimmy kept bragging, saying that these goals were bound to be achieved sooner or later anyway.

Uncle George and Aunt Mia were delighted to hear this, but Hermione hesitated a bit, as if she were an outsider.

Chapter 176 Undersea Train

Jimmy had been observing Hermione's demeanor and noticed many adorable expressions on her face, but she didn't seem to show any of the legendary shyness; she just appeared somewhat embarrassed and awkward.
