Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

"Oh, and I also prepared small gifts for you."

He took out a simple gift he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and handed it to Uncle George and Aunt Mia in the front row.

While Zuo Hou was still waiting to enter the station, the two took the gifts and looked through them.

The gift for Aunt Mia was Jimmy's own toiletries set, and the gift for Uncle George was a beautiful brass wristwatch.

"These are the products in my shop: shampoo, conditioner, and soap. After using them, you'll feel shiny and healthy."

First, introduce Aunt Mia, and then Uncle George.

"This is a watch that can foresee danger. It's made of brass, but the leather strap is made of dragon leather."

"Dragon skin? Oh, so dragons really exist in this world! So the Loch Ness Monster exists too?" Uncle George's focus was clearly not on the watch, but on the dragon.

Jimmy nodded and gave Uncle George and Aunt Mia a lesson on the magical creatures of the wizarding world, "Of course they exist. The one in Loch Ness is just a horse-shaped monster, but they usually appear in front of people in the form of sea serpents."

“I know that the Kelpie can turn into an otter when Muggle observers approach, and then turn back into a sea serpent after they leave.”

Hermione seized the opportunity to interrupt, the atmosphere just now leaving her with an indescribable sense of shame.

Jimmy acted like he was the one who was his parents' child, which made her afraid to speak.

Uncle George and Aunt Mia were very interested in the magical creatures of the wizarding world. They chatted as they waited, and soon it was their turn to drive onto the train.

This undersea tunnel, which runs through the English Channel, is more than 70 meters below sea level at its deepest point, and is more than 50 kilometers long. It took nearly ten years to build.

Trains running on the tracks would not be able to support the exchange between the two places if they did not have sufficient carrying capacity, so the trains parked on the tracks are very large, enough to park a medium or large passenger bus.

Uncle George was guided by the staff to his assigned carriage, and drove into the huge carriage. At that moment, the surrounding light was replaced by the yellow lights inside the train.

All four people on the train were riding an underwater train for the first time, so they were naturally curious.

Even those with magic would find the remarkable achievements in human industrial history as awe-inspiring.

This massive train will depart from Dover, cross the seabed, and arrive at Calais, France.

"This train is huge!" Jimmy exclaimed, looking up at the wide carriage walls.

The Channel Tunnel between England and France is indeed a rare marvel in the world.

After boarding the train, we waited for another ten minutes or so before the train started to vibrate and begin to move slowly.

All four people in the car unbuckled their seatbelts. Uncle George and Aunt Mia, who had been holding it in all the way, got out of the car to use the restroom, leaving only Jimmy and Hermione in the car.

In the relatively enclosed environment of the carriage, Jimmy seemed to be suddenly activated and looked at Hermione.

Hermione had a book next to her, but the lighting was too dim to read, so she decided to find a topic to chat with Jimmy.

She turned her head and found Jimmy staring intently at her. She immediately narrowed her eyes and asked, "Your eyes are so strange. What mischief are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Did you receive a letter from Draco? She's changed her name now."

Jimmy simply closed the distance between himself and Hermione a little; he didn't do anything, just chatted.

Doing too much might get him scolded, although he noticed Hermione never seemed to object.

“You really had better be…” Hermione muttered a few words, then nodded and said, “I got it. Hydra, I can’t quite put my finger on what that name feels like, it’s kind of weird.”

"Mainly because it doesn't quite match her temperament. Hydra sounds like a name only a cold and aloof queen would have, so I plan to call her Little Snake from now on."

"Why do you call her that? It's even stranger!"

Hermione pressed down the bristling hairs on her arm, and her gaze towards him changed.

Jimmy said, "It's just a matter of choosing the less strange one from two odd names: Hydra, Little Snake. Doesn't Little Snake sound more fitting for her current image?"

"..."

Hermione couldn't refute it, so she simply changed the subject and asked, "What have you been busy with lately? Do you need any help?"

When the topic turned to recent events, Jimmy became even more eager to confide in others. He pretended to be aggrieved and said, "My business has been targeted by those pure-blood families. They want to take over my shop or make me pay protection money."

"What? How could they do this!" Hermione, who had initially thought it would be a minor matter, was shocked. "Isn't the Ministry of Magic doing anything about it?"

In her view, the role of the Ministry of Magic is to maintain peace and stability in the British wizarding world. If Jimmy, a legitimate businessman, is robbed, shouldn't the British Ministry of Magic take care of it?

Unfortunately, the world is never as wonderful as she imagined, making Jimmy somewhat regret telling Hermione about it, as it seemed to have done nothing but add to someone's troubles.

Sigh, it's just that little desire for validation that's causing me to subconsciously say things that I want emotional support from Hermione.

Since he had already brought it up, Jimmy didn't hide anything and said, "They won't reason with me. Those pure-bloods who want my wealth support quite a few dark wizards. Many of the properties in Knockturn Alley belong to them, and the Ministry of Magic can't touch them."

"Maybe finding Ron's dad would be helpful?" Hermione bit her lower lip, pondering who could help Jimmy.

"It's probably useless. They are unreasonable people, and what the black wizard does has nothing to do with them."

Jimmy felt like a child who had encountered difficulties outside and came home to confide in his mother.

"The night I returned to London, I was invited to a banquet at Malfoy Manor. It was after that that they started targeting me. I noticed they were very interested in the recipe for the Mother's Drowning Spring that I had."

Hermione asked in bewilderment, "Why would they be interested in the Drowned Spring?"

Before Jimmy could answer, she deduced the answer herself, "Hmm...do they want to use your potion to commit crimes?"

The thought of the overflowing Mother's Drowning Spring and the news of men in the wizarding world being forcibly drugged and raped fills the air...

That's terrifying!

"Yes, the black market price has now risen to 8000 Galleons per bottle, which is enough to tempt many dark wizards to take the risk."

Jimmy pulled out an unfinished roundtable proposal from his pocket and said, "I need to find a way to protect my property and the people around me, so I'm planning to build my own power base. That's why I forgot to keep my appointment yesterday."

Hermione curiously took the notebook and flipped through a few pages by the dim light. Suddenly, the train shook violently, and the yellow and white spotlights were replaced by red emergency lights.

With an unsettling creaking sound, the train suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

Chapter 177 Attack

When the train stopped, Jimmy's first thought was that something bad was going to happen, but he still had a sliver of hope that it was just a normal part of the journey.

Just as he activated his Golden Eyes Charm to examine the scene outside the car, Hermione beside him spoke with urgency and tension.

"Jimmy, how did you know those purebloods and dark wizards were trying to steal your formula?"

Jimmy was still observing the changes in the two carriages when he casually replied, "I discovered those ill-intentioned people who were following me in Diagon Alley three days ago."

Hermione, hearing this, said anxiously, "We're underwater now, with only two exits! Think about it, if those dark wizards set up an anti-Apparition barrier here, we'll be trapped! They must have followed you onto this train!"

After hearing this analysis, Jimmy belatedly realized that he had been too slow to act. He was annoyed that he hadn't been vigilant enough and had only been thinking about what to do if his employees were threatened, never imagining that they would actually dare to do something to him.

Hmm? I seem to look pretty easy to bully.

A fourteen-year-old student, without a single adult wizard by his side—the dark wizards only need to capture him, use the Imperius Curse to extract the recipe, and they can gain a fortune…

Is there anyone in the British wizarding world more like a fat sheep than him?

At this moment, Uncle George and Aunt Mia returned to the carriage in a hurry. When they opened the door, Hermione and Jimmy noticed something was wrong.

Aunt Mia covered her head, looking like she was in pain.

Uncle George glanced down at the red glowing dial of his wristwatch, then sat back in the driver's seat and turned to ask hopefully, "Jimmy, your watch is glowing. I hope it's not because of any danger..."

“Unfortunately, the watch is emitting a red light, which is indeed a signal that danger is approaching.” Jimmy’s fingertip lit up with the light of an illumination spell, shining it on Aunt Mia.

Aunt Mia lowered her hand, revealing a small cut on her forehead, and said, "I bumped into it when the train stopped."

"Here, White Dictamnus Essence." Jimmy took out the White Dictamnus Essence he always carried and handed it to Hermione, then opened the car door to get out. "Stay in the car, I'm going out to check the situation. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out! I'll handle it!"

He said this while looking at Hermione, because he was most afraid that Hermione would fight a number of unknown dark wizards to help him get out of the car.

"and many more!"

Hermione was about to say something when the car door slammed shut, cutting off her voice through the slightly ajar window.

He took out his wand and waved it beside the car, shouting, "Peaceful Guardian, All Protected, Vanish, Muggle Shield... Stay here and protect yourselves!"

Hermione, who was inside the car, leaned against the window and, seeing the nervous look on her parents' faces, could only say, "Be careful."

Boom!

Jimmy turned his head to look at the explosion coming from the back of the carriage, his teeth grinding together as he cursed those greedy bastards in his heart.

I should be more high-profile, otherwise anyone will dare to try and extort me!

He attempted to apparite inside the carriage, and sure enough, a force blocked his spell, disrupting the surrounding space. If he forced the apparition, the result would most likely be splitting into two parts.

He had no choice but to take out a broom, grab a handful of pebbles and put them in the breast pocket of his shirt, then mount the broom and fly towards the back of the carriage.

The barriers between the carriages opened automatically, and a large number of bewildered people emerged from beneath the rows of cars, looking around anxiously.

They were completely oblivious to the person flying overhead; their attention was entirely focused on the explosion behind them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion and the sound of Jimmy opening the door were close together, and just as one of the carriage doors opened, a beam of red light shot out.

"Armor protects you!"

The spell exploded on the invisible shield, creating blue ripples in the air.

Jimmy saw a black wizard, also riding a flying broomstick, shrouded in a black robe.

"Sand and stones flying everywhere!"

"Except your weapons!"

The two met and attacked almost simultaneously, their two spells colliding in mid-air.

Jimmy's Sandstorm Curse almost dramatically overwhelmed the disarming spell used by the dark wizard who was fighting him.

The yellow glow of the spell illuminated the face of the black wizard, whose face was shrouded in fear and whose mustache stood on end. The next moment, the broom, along with the person riding on it, shot out like a cannonball.

The body dressed in black robes slammed into the carriage repeatedly, leaving several dents in the alloy-made carriage.

Ordinary people who didn't know what was going on only heard loud bangs. When they saw the dents in the carriage walls, they scattered like ants in a pot.

Some ran forward, and some ran backward.

Jimmy waved his wand, and the ordinary people who were running around were all frozen in place, their faces blank, and after a moment they turned around and went back to their cars.

"Disarm you!" Jimmy flew above the fallen dark wizard, grabbed the swirling wand flying towards him, and demanded, "Who sent you? How many of you are there?!"

He didn't believe that there was only one person attacking him, and that this person was far too weak, even inferior to Hermione.

The Sandstorm Spell should actually be called the Repulsion Spell, as it can knock people back. This spell is considered one of the more powerful spells in the "Complete Guide to Offensive Magic".
