Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

Jimmy's help prevented their family from having to take out loans because of Lockhart's book series.

After a period of eating, drinking, and having fun, they agreed to meet again at King's Cross Station on September 1st, and then return home via the Flying Route Network.

On August 25th, Jimmy and Hermione visited the Burrow via the Floo Network. They played Quidditch for a few people and had a contest in the vegetable garden to see who could catch a goblin and dig a hole the fastest.

That evening, Hermione returned to the shop via Floo Network. She stayed at the Alchemy Workshop that night, as there were extra rooms in the staff area on the second floor.

A few days later, Jimmy packed his bags and accompanied Hermione back to the Grangers' house, where they spent the last five days of their vacation.

On September 1st, he arrived at King's Cross Station in his Uncle George's car.

They arrived early and, not seeing the Weasleys at the station, boarded the train early to find a box and wait.

Chapter 107 Luna and Rove

"Let's find an empty private room first."

Jimmy led Hermione into the carriage; there were some unspoken rules about riding the train.

For example, Slytherins always hang out together, the prefects' box is at the back of the train, Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs like to stay together, and Ravenclaws can be found anywhere.

This is how we usually sit, except when there are no seats available.

The two saw many new students reluctantly saying goodbye to their parents in the train carriage, and were inexplicably moved.

Jimmy marveled at the richness of his life experiences, while Hermione remarked that she had already been studying at Hogwarts for a year and was no longer a freshman.

As Jimmy walked past one of the private rooms near the center, he took a few more steps forward, then suddenly felt something was wrong and turned back.

"What's wrong?" Hermione stopped and turned around to see Jimmy standing at the door of the private room they had just passed, staring intently inside.

She remembered that there were people inside; weren't they looking for an empty private room?

"Come here." Jimmy beckoned to Hermione and stepped into the box first. "Can we sit here?"

There were two people in the private room, sitting on the left and right, the man on the left and the woman on the right. Both were small individuals, and both were freshmen.

The boy put down his book, revealing an ordinary face with brown hair, blue eyes, and some freckles. He didn't speak, but looked at the girl opposite him.

Across from her, a girl with flowing blonde hair put down her upside-down magazine, staring blankly at the doorway, and smiled, "Of course, there are still empty seats here, aren't there?"

"Thank you." Jimmy's goal was clear; he sat down next to the girl and introduced himself, "Jimmy Blaine, what's your name?"

"Luna Lovegood".

Hermione, who had just entered the private room, saw Jimmy talking to the girl and could only sit on the other side, keeping a close eye on Jimmy.

“Luna! I know you, or rather, your father, the editor of The Quibbler.” Jimmy feigned surprise and pulled a copy of the latest issue of The Quibbler from his pocket. The theme of this issue was “Exploring Muggle Magic.”

The content is actually quite progressive, but unfortunately it still uses wizarding thinking to understand Muggles, so they all look pretty much the same, and there's a lot of alarmist content.

For example, the article "Shocking! Muggles can actually come back to life" discusses first aid knowledge for Muggles.

Furthermore, in "Muggles Don't Lack Magic," it is said that Muggle chemistry is magic, and some Muggles have already touched upon the essence of magic, creating all sorts of alchemical items by fusing various materials.

There are many articles like this, and this issue of "Singing a Different Tune" has sold quite well.

Luna's blue eyes sharpened when she saw the Quibbler in Jimmy's hand. "Thank you. I know you too, Jimmy Blaine, a First Class of the Order of Merlin."

“Jimmy Blaine, I know you too, my grandfather mentioned you.” The boy who had been ignored spoke up, a hint of excitement on his face. “My name is Rolf Scamander. I really love the game you invented!”

He frantically pulled a deck of cards from his pocket, looking as nervous as a fan finally getting to talk to their idol.

“You’re Mr. Scamander’s grandson?” Hermione asked in surprise. She quickly apologized, “Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hermione Granger. I met Mr. Newt Scamander when I was in first year.”

He came to the school and took away a Norwegian Spinosaurus, which belonged to Hagrid, the guard of the school's hunting grounds, and was named Norbert…”

Hermione seems to have endless stories to tell about her first year.

Jimmy was quite polite when he saw that the kid was actually Newt's grandson and also his customer, but his real purpose was to stir up trouble for Luna's family.

Taking advantage of the conversation initiated by Rolf, he said to Luna, "Luna, have you ever played with my duel cards?"

“I’ve tried it, but it’s not really for me.” Luna’s voice was soft, giving off an elusive quality.

Jimmy really liked Luna's voice; it was like a massage for the ears. "I'm planning to make a second generation of cards soon. Maybe you could join my team and provide some ideas, like... adding cards with Curved Horn Snork, or other magical creatures?"

Luna's eyes lit up when she heard something that interested her. "Do you know where there are Curved-Horned Snoring Beasts?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know, but you could add this magical creature to the second generation of cards. Maybe someone can find the Curved-Horned Snoring Beast through it?"

"Fantastic Beasts cards? Can I join?" Rolf couldn't help but interject. "I know a lot about Fantastic Beasts, maybe I can offer some help."

He cast an envious glance at Luna; he really liked Jimmy's cards.

Ever since he got the cards, Rolf would always find time to play a game with his friends.

He even studied various deck strategies day and night, filling half a notebook with the moves of each style, but he still wasn't satisfied.

Unexpectedly, there were people willing to be slaves. Jimmy immediately looked at Rove and said, "Rove, let's switch places and talk about the compensation."

Rove picked up his book, stood up, and switched places with Jimmy, saying, "I don't need any payment."

Jimmy sat down next to Hermione and shook his head, saying, "No, no, no, I won't take anyone's help for nothing. You can offer a reward, it could be a small request, or it could be more direct Galleons."

Luna gently swung her feet, glanced at Hermione for a moment, and said, "You're such a nuisance, all you can think about is harassment fly."

Hermione tilted her head at Luna and asked, "A harassing fly? What's that?"

“A tiny flying insect that flies into your head and stirs things up,” Luna said with a smile.

The harassing fly isn't exactly fake, but like the Thestral, its existence is only visible to those who meet certain conditions or possess a certain talent.

But to those who can't see them, it seems absurd, and that's how Hermione feels right now. She doesn't see any bugs, and the surroundings are very clean.

Looking at Luna's unfocused eyes, I felt that this girl was very abnormal.

“Luna has a unique gift; she can see things that others can’t.” Jimmy once again used his prophetic abilities to explain to Hermione, “You can think of it as something that’s messing up your mind.”

“It’s the harassing flies that mess up your mind.” Luna held up a finger and explained, “They can confuse what’s going on in a person’s head and make them feel annoyed! But don’t worry, they don’t linger around a person for long, and they’ll disappear after a while.”

Hermione understood this time. She pursed her lips and said to Luna, "Thank you."

Chapter 108 Anglia's Cars Can Fly, Muggles Are Shocked!

"So, Luna, would you like to join my team?"

Luna agreed, "Why not?"

“You all need compensation. Just say it, it can be a request or a sum of money.” Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jimmy made a boastful promise.

After a moment's hesitation, Rolf said he would be happy as long as he got a set of the cards once they were finished.

Luna only needed to add the Curved Horned Snoring Beast to the cards, but Jimmy still took the initiative and gave Luna some snacks and milk tea.

And then there's Hermione. In the end, Jimmy didn't forget Hermione and bribed her to work with a cup of milk tea.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the train started moving.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was cheerful. Jimmy opened his suitcase, took out Rocket who was sleeping inside, and asked him to take the milk tea in the suitcase and sell it in each carriage.

This time he didn't sell snacks; drinks don't count as snacks!

A little while later, George and Fred returned with the Rockets, each holding a cup of milk tea. In their usual style, they chatted about what had just happened.

The Snack Witch was furious when she discovered Rocket was selling drinks and almost got into a fight with him. Luckily, the two of them carried Rocket back. Nobody knows what the enraged Snack Witch will do to the poor raccoon.

George asked, "By the way, have you seen Ron and Harry?"

Fred spat out his straw and said, "We didn't see them."

“We haven’t seen them…” Jimmy said, turning to look out the window.

Luna also looked out the window, and the others followed suit.

Suddenly, the sky flashed, and a light blue Ford Anglia appeared and disappeared in the sky.

"Gorgon, running wild!"

Merlin!

George and Fred let out a squeak like groundhogs and rushed to the window to look outside. They saw nothing, but they were certain they had just seen their father's car flying in the sky.

"so cool!"

"Ron was the bravest man in our family, he's finished!"

Hermione squeezed to the window and looked outside, saying worriedly, "Is Harry in that car too? Oh dear, what if they get caught!"

"There's nothing we can do but wait until we get to school and see." Jimmy had expected this and remained very calm, knowing that Dumbledore would never expel Harry.

George and Fred stayed a little longer before leaving, intending to tell the whole train about their brother’s great achievements and also to give Ginny an update on Harry’s current situation.

Hermione was worried about Harry and couldn't help but blame Ron. It must have been Ron who persuaded Harry to get into that car, since it belonged to Ron's family.

"Why can't they just behave themselves? Do they have to make a complete mess of things?"

No one in the carriage dared to speak; Hermione was acting like a professor.

At this moment, the Snack Witch pushed her cart into the private room. She had a professional smile on her face, but when she saw Jimmy in the cart, her expression instantly turned ashen, as if she had seen a dead man. Without asking a single question, she pushed her cart and disappeared through the door.

Jimmy glanced around nervously and whistled nervously to ease the awkward atmosphere in the carriage.

For the latter half of the journey, there was little conversation in the carriage.

Hermione took out Lockhart's new book, "Reconciliation with Göbeklee," which she had bought from Flourish and Blotts, saying she wanted to try to find evidence that Lockhart was a bad guy.

Actually, she was just bored and wanted to read Lockhart's novels, but Jimmy didn't call her out on it.

Rolf and Luna invited Rocket to sit between them and examine the enormous raccoon, which was half muscle and half fat.

The plan to take Rocket to mate has fallen through. Jimmy doesn't have enough time to take him out to mate, so he can only wait another year, or catch a female raccoon during the Christmas holidays to keep near the Forbidden Forest.

There are plenty of open spaces in the Forbidden Forest where raccoons can roam freely, and he's not worried about them becoming an infestation, since the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest will take care of it.

The lights on the train came on, signaling the end of the Hogwarts Express journey.

An hour later, the steam locomotive slowly pulled into Hogsmeade Station, and the familiar announcement began to play on the train's loudspeaker.

"Please leave your luggage in the car; we will deliver it to the school later."

Jimmy closed the book he'd borrowed from Neville's house, "Potions," and said goodbye to Luna and Ralph. "Goodbye, school. Freshmen and upperclassmen take different paths."

Hermione, still wanting more, closed the book and said goodbye to the two of them.
