Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

I'm so glad you've achieved this. I'm currently dealing with some dangerous matters around the world and can't return to school for the time being. It's a shame we didn't have enough time together.

I will support you, as always, just as my secret ambition has always been to eliminate evil from the world.

Your excellent professor, Gilderoy Lockhart.

The letter was brief, revealing Lockhart's busy schedule, but he didn't miss a single Garonne he sent.

Lockhart, who sold so many books, must be much wealthier than Quirrell.

Two days later, Jimmy sent the basic formula and the carefully packaged bird-and-snake shampoo with Lockhart's image to a distant place by owl, along with a letter requesting 1000 Galleons to make the hair conditioner formula.

Shampoo and conditioner are needed to maintain the brightening effect of the bird snake egg yolk for three days!

Professor Lockhart certainly wouldn't be stingy with the research and development costs, after all, his secret ambition is to eliminate evil from the world and sell his own line of hair care products.

As expected, Jimmy soon received Lockhart's reply and 1000 Galleons in research funding.

Gilderoy Lockhart not only verbally encouraged Jimmy, but also rewarded him with a full 100 autographed photos of Lockhart!

He casually tossed those photos to Milton of Hufflepuff. Milton, who had lost her position as vice-captain of the cheerleading squad, was always sullen, and only Lockhart could cheer her up.

In mid-October, temperatures plummeted in the Scottish Highlands, and a flu outbreak occurred among the young wizards, causing a surge of patients that kept Mrs. Pomfrey in the hospital scrambling to cope.

The energizer for treating the cold was quickly used up. Jimmy was caught by Professor Snape in Potions class for asking an inappropriate question and was taken to the underground classroom to prepare 100 bottles of energizer for Madam Pomfrey.

One crucible can produce 20 bottles, so he only needs to boil 5 crucibles to complete the task.

To prevent Jimmy from escaping, Professor Snape would stay in the classroom to grade papers. When no one was around, Snape rarely spoke, but he would always make various nasal sounds.

For example, upon seeing Harry's homework, he would let out a loud hum.

He would scoff when he saw Ron's homework.

They would groan in disgust at the sight of a fool's work.

Jimmy operated two crucibles simultaneously, using a spoon to scoop the brewed energizer into glass bottles, which already filled a large table.

When he first started brewing the potion, he tried to ask Professor Snape some questions about potions, but he was scolded by Snape for not paying attention, so he gave up.

As the last bottle of energizer was poured into a bottle, Jimmy extinguished the flames under the crucible, sealed the bottle with a cork, and approached Professor Snape.

Snape, who was grading homework, said without looking up, "You can go now."

Jimmy placed a deluxe 3-pint bottle of shampoos and snakes yolk shampoo on the table and said, "Professor Snape, this is the shampoos and snakes yolk shampoo I made under your guidance. It contains ingredients that can remove oil..."

"Get out!"

Chapter 127 Ginny's Troubles

As Halloween draws ever closer, bullets of water rain down from outside the window, pelting the ground with a crackling sound. The water level of Black Lake continues to rise, and the grass in the courtyard, where students used to gather, is now nothing but mud.

Every time students return from an outing, their feet are covered in mud, yet even in this kind of weather, some people still go out.

That was the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Captain Wood's obsession with winning the championship spurred the other members to practice Quidditch even in the rain. Because of Harry's outstanding performance, he firmly believed that as long as they maintained high-intensity training and ensured that every team member cooperated well, they could win the Quidditch championship.

Last year, Harry missed out on the championship because of his coma, but there will definitely be no surprises this year!

On this day, Harry, returning from training in the rain, encountered Nick, who was almost headless. Nick invited Harry to attend Nick's death anniversary party on Halloween.

Back in the dorm, Harry told them about it, "I promised Nick I'd go, maybe it'll be fun?"

Ron had never been to a ghost's death anniversary party before. He lay on his bed, raised one hand, and said, "Take me with you, I want to go too."

Neville shook his head and said, "I think I'd better not. It's best for the living to avoid ghost gatherings."

Jimmy, who knew what the party was like, said, "I'm not going either, but you can bring Draco."

"Why did you bring him along?" Ron's tone was very unhappy, and his face was full of disdain.

Jimmy grinned mischievously and said, "No particular reason. If the party isn't good, wouldn't it be perfect to bring Draco along?"

Although he didn't know why Jimmy sounded so certain, Harry still invited Draco on Halloween.

Jimmy watched as Harry walked to the Slytherin table and then extended an invitation to Draco… Draco was hopeless; he agreed with a smug look and a blush.

After getting to know Harry better, Draco lost the initiative he had at the beginning.

Perhaps it's because the fear of Voldemort that existed in his heart had been dispelled at the end of the last semester?

In the evening, as the Halloween party was about to begin, students slowly gathered from various parts of the castle toward the auditorium.

“You can’t keep using that spell to study. I think it’ll definitely cause problems. I’m not going to use it to memorize every single punctuation mark in the whole book!”

Hermione explained, "I don't feel anything is wrong. If I feel uncomfortable, I will stop."

On Halloween morning, Jimmy told Hermione the secret of how the memory-restoring charm he had used on himself multiple times could enhance his memories.

As a result, after Hermione learned it, she immediately memorized all the books Jimmy borrowed, a total of 12 books!

When Jimmy tried to memorize four books in the forbidden section, he got dizzy and his head was spinning. Hermione managed to cram 12 books into her head. Although she didn't seem to be acting strangely on the surface, she was sure to run into trouble if she continued like this!

"Last time I only managed to memorize four books at once and then I felt dizzy. I really regret telling you about it. Promise me you won't misuse it again!"

Hermione said with some regret, "Well... but it's just too good."

In the past, it would take her at least a whole day to read a book.

If she uses the memory restoration spell, she can read a book in just two hours, which is a huge improvement in efficiency and is definitely a good thing for her.

Although he didn't think Hermione was someone who didn't know what was important, Jimmy still reminded her again, "Don't use it secretly without telling me!"

“I promise I won’t,” Hermione said with a smile. She looked at Ginny at the front of the long table and said with a puzzled look, “Look, Ginny, he doesn’t look too good.”

Jimmy followed Hermione's gaze and saw the girl sitting alone at the far end of the long table. He asked softly, "Shall we go and see her?"

“His brothers never seemed to care about Ginny.”

Jimmy was pulled along by Hermione, and together they walked toward Ginny, who seemed out of place in the cheerful surroundings.

The two sat down to Ginny's left, and Hermione asked Ginny, "Hey, Ginny, why are you here all alone? Aren't you going to see your friends?"

Ginny, already listless, became even more so after hearing Hermione's words, and said sullenly, "I don't want to go."

"Is something bothering you? Maybe we can help if you tell us?" Hermione nudged Jimmy's ribs.

Jimmy quickly laughed and said, "Yeah, in what way? Are your brothers making fun of you? Or do you think Harry doesn't like you?"

Ginny, who had been half-dead, leaned back in terror, putting distance between herself and Jimmy, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you used Legilimency on me?"

“I guessed.” Faced with Hermione’s skeptical look, Jimmy quickly clarified, “Aren’t these the kinds of worries little girls usually have?”

Ginny, annoyed that her sore spot had been touched, retorted angrily, "I'm not a little girl! I'm not little!"

“But no matter what, you’re only 11 years old. Harry isn’t planning on having a girlfriend yet, so you might have to wait another two years,” Jimmy said hastily, noticing Ginny’s blushing. “But you can talk to Harry more now, why don’t you go?”

“He spends all his time with Ron…” The little girl’s mind was always so sensitive. But after her thoughts were exposed, Ginny became somewhat self-deprecating. “I, I don’t plan to… find Harry Potter to be… my boyfriend.”

Hermione couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Becoming friends wouldn't be bad, would it? You can go chat with Harry when you're free; I don't think he'll mind."

"No, Ron's there too, he'll definitely make fun of me!"

"That's impossible!" Hermione asked, bewildered. "He's your brother, why would he make fun of you?"

Just then, George and Fred walked over arm in arm and gave Hermione, an only child, a lesson.

George stood to Ginny's left. "Hey, Ginny, I just saw Harry go down to the basement. Why don't you go over there?"

“Need our help? We can get the best quality love potion—don’t worry! It’s free for Harry Potter!” Fred stood to Ginny’s right.

"We fully support you!" *2

Ginny buried her head in her arms, feeling that everyone around her was looking at her, and that they must think she was a strange person!

Hermione was furious at her two irresponsible brothers' behavior. "Ginny is your little sister, and this is how you treat her?"

George looked puzzled. "We want to help Ginny pursue her happiness, Miss Granger."

Fred joked, "After all, Harry isn't Jimmy; he's not that old yet."

"Go away!" Jimmy immediately waved at the two grinning guys. "Don't cause trouble."

George and Fred saluted on the spot, "Roger that, boss!"

After the two had walked away, Jimmy looked at Hermione, whose gaze was somewhat evasive, and said, "That's just how they are. Ginny should understand that you shouldn't expect two people to have any good ideas."

“I know.” Ginny snapped out of her ostrich-like state, pulling her head out of her arms, her red hair a little messy, and said in a frustrated tone, “They’re always like this!”

Ginny had clearly been having a headache over her two unreliable brothers for a long time. Although they were both very nice to her, they were just very irresponsible.

At this moment, Jimmy felt it was time for the idea king to step in!

Chapter 128 Death Anniversary Party

“Harry is in the underground hall with Ron and Draco right now. They’re going to Nick Fury’s death anniversary party tonight. You can go find them later and call them back. Harry will definitely thank you.”

Harry is Jimmy's dearest friend and brother, how could he bear to see him suffer at Nick's death anniversary party?

Sending Ginny would not only save the person, but also earn Ginny's gratitude. Why not?

Ginny asked in bewilderment, "Why would he be grateful to me if I went to call him? And what use would I be to Harry's gratitude?"

"What is a death anniversary celebration?" Hermione asked, inquiring about what a death anniversary celebration was.

"The Death Anniversary Party is a gathering of ghosts. Ghosts can't eat normal food, so their gatherings only have a bunch of rotten and smelly food, so Harry will definitely be hungry."

Jimmy explained for a while, then said to Ginny, "If you go and save Harry later, he'll definitely notice you. Whether you want Harry to be your boyfriend or not, you have to get his attention first, right?"

After saying that, he confidently patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I gave a lot of advice when I was a first-year student, and I successfully helped someone become friends with Harry. They are very close now."

"You mean Draco?" Hermione realized who that person was, and at the same time, she remembered how Jimmy had emptied Draco's wallet last school year.

“Malfoy?” Ginny thought of Harry’s blond tagalong and muttered, “I’m not like him; our family doesn’t get along with the Malfoys. Dad always says the Malfoys are evil dark wizards.”

Hermione said, "Dracos are pretty nice, they're just a bit... fond of joking around?"

She cast a look at Jimmy seeking confirmation, seemingly unsure of her own assessment.

Seeing the growing number of students and the professors almost filling the long table, Jimmy said, "The banquet is about to begin. If we hesitate any longer, the students won't be able to leave freely anymore. Don't worry, I have a complete plan, and my plans have never failed!"

"Hmm..." Ginny was still conflicted, but seeing that the banquet was about to begin and with Jimmy urging her, she stood up and prepared to go.

This child is teachable!

Jimmy smiled and instructed, "Remember to wait outside for a while before going in to find Harry. After you leave the hall, explain to him that you heard there was no food for the living at the Death Anniversary party and that you came to find him because you were worried that Harry would go hungry."
