Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

Jimmy reached out and shook hands with Draco, plus one more centaur.

With things settled, it's time to start gathering the heroes!

He planned to begin production of the card game the following day, Sunday.

After returning to his dorm and washing up, Jimmy told Harry and Ron, who were playing with Goblin Stone, about the preparations for tomorrow.

Upon hearing that they were finally going to start making that card game, Ron retorted, "I thought you'd forgotten about that."

What was agreed upon on the first day of school was delayed until mid-November before it was officially announced to begin.

Jimmy was also helpless, "There's nothing I can do, I'm just too busy."

We're both students, so why are you so busy?

Harry and Ron exchanged a glance, convinced that Jimmy was an ambitious man who might become Minister for Magic in the future.

"After breakfast tomorrow, wait for me in the classroom where you used to train."

"no problem."

"OK!"

After explaining the arrangements for tomorrow, Jimmy lay down on the bed, covered his face with information on the Memory Charm and various revival spells, and once again performed a deduction, improving the Memory Charm into a Memory Restoration Charm.

This simulation did not cause any adverse reactions, and he was halfway to success, but he still needed another simulation opportunity to improve the memory restoration spell he envisioned.

After recording the findings of this simulation in his notebook, Jimmy went back to bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Jimmy maintained his good routine, getting up early to exercise, then returning to his dorm to wash up and go downstairs for breakfast.

Halfway through the meal, Hermione, who had also gotten up early, arrived. She looked great and seemed to have nothing bothering her lately. "Good morning, Jimmy."

"Good morning." After swallowing the dry egg with milk, Jimmy asked Hermione, "What are your plans for today?"

Hermione said as she spread butter on the bread, "No, why?"

"I'm about to start making my card game. I've also called Harry and Ron. After breakfast, take this with you and go check out the abandoned classroom. They know where it is."

Jimmy handed the manuscript he had brought to Hermione and said.

"I have something to do, so I'll be a little late."

"Leave it to me!"

Hermione readily agreed to take over the manuscript, as it was already agreed upon. She even ate her bread while flipping through the game plan in her hand.

At that moment, Draco walked into the Great Hall yawning, without Goyle or Crabbe by his side.

He sat down at the Slytherin table and glanced instinctively toward the Gryffindor table, just in time to see Jimmy winking at him. He immediately understood and got up to leave the Great Hall before he could even sit down properly.

After stuffing the last sausage into his mouth, Jimmy stood up and said to Hermione, "I'm leaving now, see you later."

"See you later." Hermione was still looking at the proposal, its contents holding her captive.

At the same old spot, Jimmy met Draco, who was waiting there, and said, "Let's have breakfast first. I'm going to teach you something later."

Draco returned to the Great Hall in just five minutes, with a few crumbs still on his lips.

Jimmy only wanted to teach Draco what words he couldn't say; he set out a few forbidden words and taught Draco a rule.

No one owes anyone anything. Mockery is fine, but it cannot be based on belittling personal dignity.

Stop talking about purebloods; if you want to be friends, you have to be sincere first.

Blah blah blah...

Draco was fairly obedient, although his face turned ashen when he heard that he and Ron should at least not fight.

He could even tolerate apologizing, something he would never have done before, but he just couldn't stay calm when facing the Weasleys.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Repeat it once."

Draco stood at attention nervously, his eyes darting around as he tried to recall what he had just memorized: "No talking about your background, no belittling others, no swearing, no fighting, follow instructions, and be the first to speak up."

"Very good!" Jimmy put away his wand with satisfaction. If Draco couldn't recite it, he wouldn't mind letting Draco try out the half-finished memory-restoring spell.

Seeing his wand put away, Draco's tense body relaxed, and he asked, "Shall we go now?"

"Let's go."

Judging by the time, Harry and the others should have finished breakfast and be waiting in the abandoned classroom by now.

As expected, when Jimmy brought the inexplicably nervous Draco to the agreed-upon abandoned classroom, Hermione, Harry, and Ron were already waiting inside, discussing the contents of the plan.

The three of them turned around when they heard the noise, and then they saw someone they never expected to see.

"Malfoy? What are you doing here!" Harry immediately stepped forward, clenching his fists and glaring at Draco.

Ron also yelled, "This is not a place for you."

"Can't you two see this clearly!" Hermione said, somewhat angrily. "Malfoy came with Jimmy."

Draco, standing at the door, noticed the two men's attitude towards him, and his tension inexplicably vanished. He raised his chin and exclaimed, "I think... Granger is right. I think I should give you a pair of glasses so you can see things clearly!"

Snapped!

Jimmy slapped his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, Draco is someone I asked to help. Come on in."

Chapter 55 Production Team

Harry and Ron didn't want to offend Jimmy. They disliked Malfoy, but it wasn't to the point where they would fight to the death if they met.

Ultimately, their conflicts are no different from the pranks played by elementary school students. They might even be able to sit down and have a drink together when they look back on it later in life.

“I’ll assign the tasks next!” Jimmy held out his hand to Hermione.

Hermione paused for a moment, then sensibly handed over the proposal.

After receiving the proposal and turning to the organizational plan section, Jimmy cleared his throat and said, "Before we start working, we need to understand what we're going to do next. Harry, Ron, Hermione, you've already read it, so listen to it again."

"The card game we're making is an interactive game focused on casual entertainment. Players will have various types of cards: identity cards, skill cards, item cards, and talent cards."

"The gameplay is also very simple and easy to learn. The identity card is the unit that the player operates. The effect of the card will correspond to the talent card. If you can draw the corresponding talent of the character in the lottery, you will get a certain bonus."

Skill cards include four types: normal spells, curses, healing spells, and anti-spells. Item cards can contain various alchemical tools and wand equipment.

The card game uses a turn-based card-drawing system, allowing for two-player or multiplayer battles. Dice are rolled to determine who plays first, and the player whose health bar is depleted loses.

The explanation is complete. The rules are simple, and everyone understands them.

But they can't fully appreciate the charm of these rules until the cards are actually made.

“It’s okay if you don’t understand. I’ll assign you tasks next.” Jimmy turned a page of the plan and said to the four of them, “Harry, Draco, and Ron, you are the engineers and will be responsible for designing skill cards, item cards, and talent cards.”

“Me and Malfoy?!” Ron seemed very reluctant.

Draco only looked at Harry; the sense of security he felt standing next to Harry made him feel very comfortable.

Harry didn't have as much of an opinion as Ron. Draco's methods seemed mild to him, given how often he had been beaten by his cousin Dudley; they were just rather disgusting.

In order not to slow down the progress, Jimmy had to warn Ron, "Ron, this is work time, please don't bring your personal emotions to work!"

Ron was quite surprised and said, "Huh? Am I working? I thought I came here to have fun..."

Is the word "work" too early for someone his age?

Hermione, whose eyes were already shining, retorted, "Of course it's work, and it's a lot of fun work!" Then she looked at Jimmy expectantly, waiting for his instructions.

Jimmy explained, “Hermione, you’re the text writer, responsible for revising the text of the character cards and the rest of the cards. Each card needs a real-world prototype, and we’ll write a short introduction about the character on the bottom of each character card, as well as skill cards and item cards. You’ll be in charge of this part, and Harry, you’ll assist Hermione.”

"Ok."

"OK."

"All right……"

Harry, Draco, and Ron all agreed.

Finally, Jimmy outlined his own arrangements and those of those who wouldn't be there: "I'm the card producer and game designer. You just need to focus on card production and text work, and follow orders. I'll handle the rest."

Our team has many people, including Ron and your two older brothers. They'll be responsible for adding sound and effects to the final cards, as well as the artists.

With the job assignments clear, the next step is the actual task allocation.

Jimmy broke the proposal down into several parts and distributed them to the four people. He also turned a chair into a blackboard and wrote out the specific task steps on it.

"The character cards are mainly about people who are not so famous but have done some amazing things, such as Aberrick Groening, the inventor of the dung bomb. His corresponding talent card is that you can get an extra dung bomb item card every X number of draws."

There's also Daisy Dodridge, the first landlady of the Leaky Cauldron. Drawing her corresponding talent card grants an extra Butterbeer item card that removes negative status effects.

As the four listened to the introduction, they gradually began to find it interesting, because they could customize various skills and add some fun things to the cards.

“卡牌游戏最重要的是平衡性，各种角色卡和天赋卡之间不能有太多的差距，即便是抽到对应的天赋也不能和其它卡牌拉开太大差距。先按照技能卡15种每种6张、道具卡15种每种3张、角色卡10张、天赋卡25张来做。”

The mission was revealed and immediately began. Harry and Malfoy were in charge of the skill cards, while Ron was in charge of the item cards.

The creation of the talent cards was a collaborative effort between the four of them, involving discussions and collaboration with Hermione's character cards.

Jimmy, on the other hand, guided them in which direction to strive, giving them inspiration and encouragement so that the calves could work together as a team.

After the initial awkwardness, the four of them found their rhythm and gradually became engrossed in it.

"What a terrible move, we can't add it! We should add the Bat Spirit Curse!" Ron and Draco argued until their necks and hairs turned red.

Draco retorted, "What effect do you expect from the Bat Curse? Bats coming out of your nostrils won't hurt anyone!"

"Who says it can't be done! Do you dare to give it a try!"

“With a Dark Arts talent card, should we add more Dark Arts to it? I don’t know much about it,” Harry said.

Hermione objected, "No, that would make other people addicted to dark magic. Hmm... I think we should change the Dark Magic Mastery talent to Curse Mastery."

"No!" *3

This suggestion was met with joint opposition from Harry, Ron, and Draco.

Card games without dark magic are soulless, even if dark magic is evil.

Jimmy was a little embarrassed and tried to persuade Hermione, "Dark magic is bad, but a card is incomplete without the talent of mastering dark magic. Just like you can't deny bad history, you can't deny the existence of dark magic just because it's bad."

The cards he's making aren't just for teenagers; they're designed to be suitable for all ages and can't be too plain.

For the Wizard character cards, he planned to make the characters, who hadn't yet joined the team, more adult-like, with the women being prettier and the men more handsome.

If we gain fame, we might be able to make and sell some movable figurines.
