Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

Chapter 140 Side Effects of the Drowning Spring

Draco has changed again. He's become less argumentative with Ron and has lost that mischievous sense of humor that used to drive Harry to the brink of madness.

Anyone could sense this change. Ron felt awkward, and Harry felt uncomfortable, but this way of getting along was also quite comfortable.

Only three people at the table could realize how outrageous Draco's change was: Jimmy, Hermione, and Ginny, who was always watching Harry.

Jimmy's delirious mind kept popping up with the notification sound of "Merit -1". Giving the Mother's Drowning Spring to Draco, he didn't know if it was helping him or hurting him!

Hermione, on the other hand, felt that Draco's changes were definitely related to Jimmy, just like last semester, there was always Jimmy's shadow behind any change.

Ginny's thoughts were much simpler; she just felt that Malfoy smelled too much like a fox.

She just deliberately made herself known. If it were before, Malfoy would definitely have teased her and Harry, but not today!

Dinner ended absentmindedly among the group. When they returned to their dorm, Jimmy asked Hermione to wait a moment. He gave Draco a wink, and Draco, understanding the signal, headed toward an abandoned classroom.

The two met in that familiar abandoned classroom.

"You really used the potion I gave you?" In the relatively enclosed space, Jimmy's nose was filled with the scent of Draco's perfume, and he wanted nothing more than to punch it.

Draco nodded awkwardly; his girlish manner was truly outrageous!

Now, Jimmy could only sigh. "So what's your plan? The latest batch of Mother's Drowned Spring water won't be ready for another ten days. You're going to drink the potion in ten days?"

Draco, seemingly ignoring the question, replied, "Your potions have side effects."

His face was full of pain and struggle, and his expression changed like a mask.

"Hmm?" Jimmy turned serious, took out a pen and notebook, and asked, "What side effects?"

"I don't know who I am anymore. It's like there are two people in my brain, one is a male me and the other is a female me," Draco said with a sense of helplessness. "The first time I drank only ten drops of the potion, and two days later I turned back and found that the female version of myself had reappeared in my brain."

She was always controlling my actions, making me keep drinking that potion.

The second time I transformed into a woman, my male self reappeared and made me change back... Now I'm confused about my gender.

In Draco's description, Jimmy thought of a special group called "LGBT". He thought with some horror, "Oh no, am I going to become Old Ma's son's spiritual mentor?"

Malfoy → Musk...

There are also side effects to the short-term transformation of the Mother's Drowning Spring that need to be addressed. It does contain a lot of hallucinogenic drugs, and the reason why this result is not without reason.

"Oh dear! It's all my fault..."

Jimmy wanted to take responsibility, but then he suddenly frowned. It seemed like he didn't bear much responsibility for this.

"No, I didn't force you to use the Mother's Drowning Spring. I can only take half the responsibility. Wait a few days, and I'll help you resolve this."

Draco breathed a sigh of relief. This feeling of being mentally conflicted was not pleasant, although occasionally men and women would reach a consensus... like when he was with Harry.

Christmas is on December 25th, and in a few days it will be January, which is the time when the prediction opportunities will be refreshed.

His Muggle-Changing Charm is a magic that forcibly corrects a person's perception. He can further improve the Muggle-Changing Charm to create a spell that helps Draco confirm his gender.

This spell can also be used as a free gift when selling trial packs of the "Drowning Spring," so that users can recover their health both physically and mentally after the trial.

Fortunately, Draco discovered this side effect while testing the Drowned Spring. Otherwise, if Blaine's potions were to open, everyone who bought the trial packs would be unable to recover, and the shop's reputation would plummet.

Wait a minute, I think I also asked Lucius to sell those three intact bottles of Mother's Drowned Spring.

Jimmy asked Draco, "I asked your father to sell three whole bottles of Mother's Drowning Fountain. Did he sell them?"

He thought Draco wouldn't know, but Draco did. "It's sold. The bag I just gave you contained Galleons."

Jimmy immediately took out the bag he had just taken, opened it, and peeked inside. Besides the amount of Gallon that he couldn't quite make out, there was also a box.

Take out the box first. There is a note attached to the buckle of the box, which reads: "The Niangniquan (a type of fountain) is very popular. I have raised the price of each bottle to 2000 Gallons. The last bottle will be priced at 3600 Gallons. There are still many buyers. At least 50 bottles are needed now."

After reading the note, Jimmy gasped, opened the box, and found it filled with potion ingredients.

Then, the bag was turned upside down, and tens of thousands of glittering coins fell to the ground, making a crisp, clanging sound, more intense than rain.

The bag contained far more than 7,600 Gallons; it also included last month's production share from the shampoo and conditioner manufacturers, bringing the total to 18,000 Gallons.

Lucius was worried that the owl might encounter danger while transporting so many Galleons, so he had Draco bring them back to Jimmy when they returned to school.

Jimmy's eyes were completely filled with the golden light of the Galleons. Although this amount of money was less than a tenth of Harry's vault, he was so happy that he rolled around on the ground.

Draco, who had never seen so many Galleons before, stared wide-eyed, feeling it was all too real. Was this really the same Jimmy who had been so calculating about even a single Galleon in his first year?

Jimmy didn't care what Draco thought; Galon was his life!

He rolled around on the ground, scooped up Galleons and threw them into the air, then slammed them onto his body.

It hurts quite a bit, but the pain is real, and I feel a strange kind of pleasure from it!

After going crazy for a while, Jimmy got up, waved his wand, and swept all the Galon back into his pocket. Overjoyed, he decided not to wait until January and would get Draco to handle the matter tonight.

Adding one more simulation opportunity costs 1000 Galleons. It's just 1000, I'll spend it!

Old Ma is reliable, so he can't let us down.

"I have money. I'll help you solve your problem tomorrow. You can go back to sleep now."

Before receiving his share, even though Jimmy knew he had made a lot of money, it never felt as tangible as the mountain of Gallons piled up in front of him.

The shock of the gold made him exceptionally happy today. When he returned to the Gryffindor common room and saw Hermione, he glided over with a dance, like Quill's black spider, walking with an air of indifference.

"Oh! Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance?"

Hermione pursed her lips, looking helplessly at Jimmy who had suddenly fallen ill, and pulled him to the sofa. "So what's wrong with Draco?"

“Him…” Jimmy smacked his lips and said, “He used the potion I gave him, the one you and I brewed together before. That potion—it had some side effects.”

"What are the side effects?" Hermione asked with a worried expression. She had also participated in making that potion. Could it be that she made a mistake in her method?

But the next second, Hermione raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Hmm? Wait, why would Draco take that potion?"

“He’s awakened.” Jimmy said with a straight face, “He just wanted to experience what it felt like to be a girl. After taking the potion, he couldn’t tell whether he was a man or a woman.”

But don't worry, I have a solution. I can help him confirm his gender tomorrow.

Chapter 141 The Curse of Gender Awareness

Draco wants to experience what it's like to be a girl?

Hermione was getting tense. "Why? A normal person wouldn't have such thoughts?"

"Love can create miracles, Hermione, Draco understands love now!" Jimmy exclaimed in a pretentious manner, earning him only an eye roll from Hermione.

Who did he fall in love with?

"you guess?"

Hermione's face showed a gossipy yet conflicted expression. She felt it wasn't appropriate to talk about other people's private affairs, but she couldn't resist her curiosity. "Which house are they from?"

"Which house do you think Draco is closest to right now?" Jimmy asked meaningfully.

Hermione's curiosity was piqued to the point of exhaustion, and she racked her brains, "You mean Gryffindor? Could it be—Parvati?"

“Pavati is indeed very beautiful, but not her…” Jimmy finished speaking, then added, “Not as beautiful as you.”

Hermione smiled, her eyes crinkling, and continued guessing, "That's... Parks?"

Seeing Jimmy shake his head, she guessed, "Could it be Lavender?"

"Why limit it to gender? Draco voluntarily changed his gender."

Although she didn't understand at first, Hermione immediately grasped the meaning after being reminded. She cautiously looked around, and only when she saw that no one was paying attention did she lower her voice and ask, "You mean, Harry?"

Jimmy narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly, causing Hermione to gape in shock.

"How is this possible..." This news was still too exaggerated for Hermione; she simply couldn't connect the two people.

Jimmy grinned mischievously and leaned closer to Hermione, "Let me tell you a secret, actually our headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, is one too!"

This news shocked Hermione even more, causing her to shift from a relaxed, reclining posture on the sofa to sitting upright. "Really?!"

"Of course it's true. The headmaster's love interest is the first Dark Lord Grindelwald. They were quite the ladies' man when they were young!" Jimmy whispered behind the headmaster's back, not worried about retaliation at all, since these were all facts.

This completely overturned Hermione's impression of Dumbledore. In her eyes, Professor Dumbledore was a respectable elder, a powerful wizard full of wisdom, and a hero of the wizarding world!

But in the end...

She stared blankly at Jimmy, processing these secrets she didn't know in her daily life.

Jimmy saw Hermione staring intently at him, met her gaze sincerely, and declared to prove his innocence, "You know I'm perfectly normal!"

“I know.” Hermione smiled, snapping out of her reverie. Then, remembering another person pursuing Harry, she asked worriedly, “Will Draco use your potions again? If he does… what about Ginny?”

“If that really happens, you should be thinking about whether Harry can accept it, but…” Jimmy said confidently, “but don’t worry, I will take action! I will go and help Draco with his cognitive impairment tomorrow. I have plenty of information to refer to in this regard.”

Jimmy and Hermione chatted for a while in front of the fireplace before returning to their respective dorm rooms to rest.

Before going to bed, Jimmy took out the bag containing more than 10,000 Galleons and took out some money to spend on in-game currency.

He became rich overnight, and not only did he buy an extra deduction opportunity every month, but he also raised the levels of spells, polymorph, potions and alchemy to 50.

Consumption: 11,656 Gallons!

The corresponding level of knowledge and power poured into his head, filling it to the brim.

Whether it's the application and understanding of spells, the insights into brewing potions, the experience of alchemy, or the mastery of transformation, all aspects are improved.

At least for now, Jimmy can carve raccoon heads on the transformed stone slabs, cast most simple spells silently and without a wand, increase the success rate of brewing potions, and overcome the synergy function that has been troubling the auto chess development team.

He is now like an all-powerful being, surpassing most wizards in the comprehensiveness of his abilities.

However, most wizards do not try to master all fields; they usually only delve into one field until they reach the pinnacle.

With 18,000 Galleons, Jimmy could raise one of the levels to 80, but he's a bit of a perfectionist and likes balance.

Anyway, spending money on in-game purchases is so much fun!

Spending money on in-game purchases is fun for a while, and spending money on in-game purchases is even more fun!

I'm going to keep this snowball rolling so I can stop eating beef before I graduate!

The thrill of leveling up by spending real money is irresistible. If it weren't for needing to save some Galleons for opening a shop, Jimmy would have spent all of his remaining six thousand Galleons.

After finishing his in-game purchases, he began to further deduce the Muggle Curse...

The deduction of a spell to confirm one's own mental state is also to take care of wizards affected by the side effects of potions.
