Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?
Page 105
Her voice sounded lively, and her attire was very eccentric, like an imitation of the bizarre punk style of the Muggle world.
The brown leather jacket concealed a quirky sister band merchandise shirt, while the patched jeans and the neck ring added to the unconventional look.
Nymphadora Tonks is a rather unique character in the original work.
Turning his head, he saw her again, her eyes narrowed as she smiled, staring at his and Hermione's clasped hands like a bystander eager to watch the drama unfold. Even the color of her hair had turned pink.
"Wow, what an enviable love story! A young couple!"
“Ahem, Miss Tonks, didn’t you want to know the situation?” Considering Hermione’s feelings, Jimmy took the initiative to avoid the topic, even though Hermione did not react negatively.
"Just call me Nifadora. Um, the famous Mr. Blaine, I'm a loyal customer of your brand. My hair color looks even more beautiful after using Suya shampoo!"
Nymphadora Tonks was clearly not someone who enjoyed discussing work in a serious manner, and she quickly veered the subject away from it.
Even the other Aurors present couldn't stand it anymore. A strong, gray-haired, stern-faced Auror shouted over, "Tonks, you're still working."
Nymphadora Tonks, as if her mood had been interrupted, turned around and said in a drawn-out tone, "Come on! Delis, isn't the situation obvious enough? The dark wizard tried to attack our little genius and steal his Galon, but failed! We can relax a bit."
When she turned back, a warm smile appeared on her face. "Right, Jimmy, and Hermione? But let's get to the point: what happened?"
Jimmy didn't dislike such warm and friendly people, and simply said, "We were planning to go on vacation to France when the train suddenly stopped halfway there. Then these dark wizards came and attacked us. They knocked two of them unconscious, another was hit by a killing curse from one of their own, and the third person apparated away within the anti-apparition barrier."
“Merlin…” Nymphadora Tonks had been listening with a smile, but when she heard about Apparition, her smile turned into a pained expression. “Another fool Apparition using the Anti-Apparition Charm. I hope their bodies don’t end up in the Muggle’s dining hall again.”
Upon hearing Nymphadora Tonks' description, Hermione's face displayed a very subtle expression, similar to that she would when she found a bug in her food.
Jimmy added, "Two other dark wizards escaped. I didn't catch them; I guess they went to France."
Those two people and the corpse can be handed over to the Ministry of Magic; after all, there's no shortage of dark wizards in this world.
After understanding the situation, Nymphadora Tonks winked at the two of them. "Alright, the Ministry of Magic will handle this. Your punishment for casting spells off-campus can be waived, since this is an emergency."
As they were talking, the distinctive popping sound of Apparition suddenly rang out again, and the British Ministry of Magic Aurors in the carriage instantly pointed their wands at the six newly appeared people.
However, upon seeing who it was, they all put down their wands. These newcomers were Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic, after all, this tunnel was a communication channel jointly built by the two countries.
Compared to the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic, the Aurors of the French Ministry of Magic wear dark blue uniforms, which make them look much more professional.
Auror, who speaks English and French, stepped forward to negotiate. After understanding the cause and effect, the two sides separated and went to other carriages to clean up the mess.
"It's alright, the train will be back to normal soon." After checking on the situation, Nymphadora Tonks returned and said to the two, "Don't worry, your holiday trip will not be affected at all."
Hermione didn't quite agree with this statement. "I'm not in the mood for traveling anymore."
"I'm sorry, this is our negligence." Tonks looked embarrassed.
Jimmy said something polite, "Aurors always have things they can't cover. The dark wizard appeared too quickly, so it's not your fault."
Nymphadora Tonks said helplessly, "Aurors are always short-handed. Maybe you can become Aurors when you grow up, then there will be enough manpower to solve the problems."
"I'll consider it later."
After saying that, Jimmy led the depressed Hermione to a corner of the carriage.
Chapter 180 Hermione's Desire to Improve
"While your uncle and aunt have the right to know, I think we should erase this unpleasant memory from their minds. What do you think?"
Being attacked is always frustrating and can greatly affect one's mood when traveling.
That's why Jimmy wondered if he should erase this unpleasant memory, but he needed Hermione's permission.
“That’s what I think too.” Hermione was on the same page as him. She didn’t even dare to tell her parents that the green curse was a killing curse that could kill a person instantly.
When the curse struck the car door, Hermione's mind went completely blank, and her worry for her parents reached its peak at that moment.
Never before have I felt the injustice of the world so profoundly; a person living in Muggle society could be so easily killed by a wizard.
Under those magical spells, ordinary people are powerless to resist, and even when they try to attack with their fists, they are as weak and powerless as children.
So much so that two adults needed their child to protect them, and despite her parents’ constant reassurance, Hermione could sense their extremely bad mood.
The barrier that seemed to separate the two worlds left her feeling dazed, and her usually sharp mind became somewhat sluggish.
Hermione hugged him, and Jimmy hugged her back. He could feel that her mood was even more chaotic than a fur ball that had been played with by a cat.
Jimmy gently stroked Hermione's fluffy hair, a strange melancholy creeping into his heart. He softly encouraged her, "Shouldn't we try to prevent this from happening again? Just this once."
"Yes, just this once." After hugging for a while, Hermione let go of Jimmy, lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips. When she raised her head again, she had a resolute expression on her face.
She is never cowardly; even when faced with seemingly insurmountable difficulties, she will try her best to think things through.
Jimmy liked her expression and smiled as he took her hand. "Let's go, I need to get the car fixed first so we can finish the rest of the trip."
"I hope you don't make it as famous as Ron's flying cars." Hermione's tears turned into a smile as she went back with him.
When George and Mia saw Jimmy and Hermione holding hands, they both wore complex, relieved smiles, and even their bad moods improved considerably.
Jimmy, who was near the car, released Hermione's hand, ready to show off his skills. "Uncle George, let me fix the car. My alchemy is pretty good. Since the car is broken anyway, how about adding some features? How about self-driving?"
"Autopilot? Oh, that would be great!" Uncle George had thought the car was damaged and needed to be replaced, but Jimmy gave him a pleasant surprise.
"Of course, we can think about how to modify this train. There's still some time before the train restarts."
He took out his wand and waved it again. The damaged front of the car was restored as if time had reversed, but the car door, which had been dissolved by the Killing Curse, was not restored.
Jimmy suggested a few ideas to George: "How about voice control for the temperature? And maybe add seat ventilation?"
When Uncle George heard that more features could be added, his gloomy mood instantly vanished. Like a child, he lay on the car, racking his brains for any new function he could add. "Could it automatically avoid other cars?"
"The Wizarding World also has a bus that can avoid obstacles, but that requires someone to drive it, and I'll add that."
"Ah, I've been wondering if there's any way to eliminate the inertia of braking. Can magic do that?"
"No problem!"
Jimmy began modifying the vehicle, taking out various materials from his pocket and transforming the ordinary Jaguar into a magical car.
Finally, features such as seat ventilation, seat massage, automatic ignition, automatic driving, constant temperature ventilation, and inertia elimination have all been added. It can even become invisible and fly into the sky when necessary.
It also incorporates the function of a warning watch, which will automatically move away when it detects a person with ill intentions approaching, emphasizing security.
After the car modifications were completed, the train has also restarted.
Uncle George sat in the car, inspecting its condition with satisfaction, while Aunt Mia still looked preoccupied.
Jimmy, sitting in the back, looked at Hermione, who nodded slightly to him.
He quietly took out his wand and pointed it at Aunt Mia, silently chanting, "Forget everything."
Aunt Mia's expression went blank, but fortunately Uncle George was focused on experiencing the new car's massage seats and didn't notice.
"Forget everything." This time, Jimmy recited the incantation, erasing the terrible parts of their memories.
The blank memory is changed to the two returning normally after using the restroom. Due to an unexpected train stoppage, they use this time to modify a car using alchemy.
The two, now back to normal, maintained the same good mood they had when they traveled. In fact, the modifications to their car made them even more positive, and they had an even greater anticipation for the French beaches and Paris.
Jimmy put away his wand, took Hermione's hand, and tried to make her feel better.
Thirty minutes later, the train left the tunnel and arrived at the port of Calais, France.
Jimmy felt nothing about the one-hour flight; in his previous life, when he traveled within China, he always had to take a car ride of at least two hours.
The journey from England to France, including the layover, took less than an hour and a half. If it weren't for the fact that the pedestrians in the downtown area were speaking French after the car left the port, he wouldn't have felt like he was actually abroad.
Uncle George had clearly done a lot of research for this trip. He parked the car on the side of the road, took out a map to check the route, and then confidently set off.
Three hours later, the car arrived at the underground parking lot of the Holiday Inn in the Luxembourg district of Paris, France, near the city center.
Jimmy picked up Professor Quirrell's belongings suitcase again; almost everyone else's luggage was in this suitcase, but Uncle George and Aunt Mia symbolically took a few empty suitcases.
It was already noon. After Uncle George finished checking in at the front desk, he handed his luggage to the three of them and said, "I need to go to the restaurant to order something to eat. I can come down and eat after I put my luggage down."
Uncle George originally planned to eat at a restaurant outside, but for some reason Hermione looked extremely tired after only a few hours of driving, so he decided to eat out in the evening.
They had booked two double rooms at the hotel; Jimmy and Uncle George would sleep together, while Hermione and Aunt Mia would share.
Jimmy felt a little regretful about this arrangement, as he didn't have much luggage to store. He just helped Aunt Mia put her luggage in and then went next door to put Uncle George's luggage in.
Hermione followed Jimmy into the room, and after sitting on the soft bed, she didn't want to get up. She said, "I should also learn how to protect myself. Can you teach me? Like, dueling? Or Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"You want to learn how to duel?" Jimmy immediately dropped his luggage, jumped onto the bed where Hermione was lying, and looked at Hermione's face with a smile, resting his chin on his hand. "Like a duel between Harry and Draco?"
“This isn’t child’s play; it’s fighting with magic, and I know you’re very good at that.”
Whenever Hermione saw Jimmy smiling, she couldn't help but want to laugh too, because it reminded her of first year.
However, Hermione did want to learn dueling; she didn't want to be unable to protect her family and friends when faced with danger.
She had been secretly practicing all along, but after what happened today, Hermione realized that her private practice was far from enough.
Chapter 181 The Witch Hunt
"Have you found out?" In the study of the Burker family manor, Karaktakus Burker turned to look at his subordinate.
Some time ago, he gave him a task: to test Jimmy Blaine.
Jimmy's Alchemy Workshop plastered Dumbledore's sign and image advertisements all over Diagon Alley, and Dumbledore never publicly refuted it.
Considering Dumbledore's attitude, Karaktakus Burke did not involve his family in the operation, but instead spread rumors to make the wandering dark wizards think that Jimmy was a fat sheep.
It's no use if others have doubts, since the Burker family hasn't done anything; they've just released the news that they want to buy Niang Niiquan indefinitely for 1 Galleons.
The elderly man in the tuxedo answered meticulously, "Of the six people involved in the attack on Jimmy Blaine, two died, two were arrested, and two are missing. Jimmy Blaine has now arrived in France."
“Oh, did you get anything out of those two survivors?” Karaktakus Burke was not surprised.
Think about how many people helped Jimmy on his path to success.
Those who helped him will surely take care of his safety, and besides, money can sometimes be a powerful force.
As the universal currency of the wizarding world, Galleons have strong purchasing power and are used to settle all magical materials.
Most wizards need potions to ensure their safety, and some wizards who like to experiment also need Galleons to purchase protective equipment and experimental materials.
People often overlook the important role of the Galleons, but the Burke family does not.
Even if he were the Dark Lord, no one would support his rebellion if he couldn't pay salaries.
He could conquer the British wizarding world, but he couldn't conquer wizards all over the world.
The man in the tuxedo said, "This matter was suppressed by Connery Fudge. The two attackers died in Azkaban, and nothing came of it."
