Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

"Speaking of last night, Lockhart transformed into a monster 15 feet tall, capable of sending Hagrid, who was as big as him, flying with a single slap. I wielded the Gryffindor-inherited longsword, and when I slashed at Lockhart, there was no time, no right or wrong, only courage! With just one strike, I almost chopped off his leg!"

"Wow!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

Simo said with envy and jealousy, "Damn it, why did you all go without me!"

The other four people in the dormitory went to the escape room adventure at night, while he was the only one sleeping soundly in the dormitory. This was clearly isolation!

Ron held his chin high as he pulled open his robe, revealing a scar running from his collarbone to his chest as if displaying a medal.

“I almost died in the secret chamber. The blood from this wound soaked my robes, but I wasn’t afraid at all because I was determined to defeat Lockhart!”

Even when repairing larger wounds, the White Dictamnus Essence will still leave scars. When everyone saw the wound on Ron's chest that looked like it had split him in two, they gasped.

Seamus stopped arguing and said admiringly, "I never knew you were such a brave person, Ron. I apologize for underestimating you."

"My God, that's terrifying!" Lavender Brown, squeezed in the crowd, looked at the arrogant Ron with admiration in his eyes. "Oh! You're amazing, Ron!"

George and Fred, standing on the outer circle, exchanged a glance and shrugged together. Their silly brother, who rarely showed off, refrained from causing trouble because of his wound.

At a long table outside the crowd, Jimmy held a letter in his hand. The letter was from the Ministry of Magic, or more precisely, from Cornelius Fudge, a letter of rejection.

It's just a claim of 2,000 Galleons for shop damage based on market price, and it was rejected!

Connelly Fudge did not want to pay a single penny in compensation, arguing that the original plan was devised by Jimmy and had been approved by the shop owner, therefore they would not bear any responsibility for damaging the shop.

Oh! That stingy old codger! I really want to kick his ass hard with my polished leather boots!

The Minister of Magic, with Wizengamor and elite Aurors at his disposal, is someone Jimmy really can't handle right now.

The Ministry of Magic has a very deep control over the Daily Prophet. Cornelius Fudge has not been idle over the years; he has taken back a lot of power that was originally in the hands of pure-blood families by relying on his relationship with Dumbledore.

When Cornelius Fudge realizes that Dumbledore won't challenge his power, he, as the de facto head of the British wizarding world, can do a lot.

For example, portraying the universally acknowledged savior of the magical world as a liar...

"Have you decided what courses to take?" Hermione's hand over the timetable interrupted Jimmy's train of thought.

Jimmy took the timetable and saw that there were six elective courses in total: Arithmetic Divination, Divination, Magical Creatures Protection, Muggle Studies, Ancient Runes, and Alchemy.

Alchemy is only available to students in the fifth grade or above, and they must achieve an "O" grade in ancient subjects such as Neven, Herbalism, and Potions.

Hogwarts' resources cannot support more demanding courses, so alchemy is now destined to be an option for only a few.

"Which courses did you choose?" Jimmy asked, putting down his timetable.

Hermione showed her her form, and the girl said expectantly, "I've selected them all! These courses all look so interesting!"

"Your schedule will be too full..."

Upon hearing that he had chosen all of them as before, Jimmy wanted to start his fatherly lecture, but then he thought, if a top student can't learn the courses they are interested in, it would definitely be a pity for such a creature.

Instead of blocking, Jimmy's final words of advice turned into concern: "Can you handle this?"

Hermione seemed to feel underestimated and said confidently, "Of course, Percy took all the courses and got all O's last year, twelve O's! I think I can do it too, your spell will be a big help."

Jimmy looked at her helplessly. "It's not that I think you can't do it, it's that I'm worried about your health."

"I'll keep an eye on it." Under the sincere offensive, Hermione softened slightly and hesitated, "If I can't hold on, I'll drop a few doors."

So cute!

Jimmy smiled as he unfolded the timetable, picked up a pen, and casually ticked off the Ancient Runes and Magical Creatures Protection classes.

"Only two subjects? Don't you think Muggle research is interesting? You can see Muggles from a wizard's perspective; they probably don't even know how to ride the subway!"

Jimmy sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. I still have to take care of the shop. If I don't earn enough money, how will I support my family in the future?"

Without earning enough money, there's virtually no ability to withstand risks.

What if... Voldemort resurrects, spicy zombies attack Earth, aliens invade, or the world is destroyed?!

"Oh~!" Hermione smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Three days later, Draco was discharged from the hospital, and within just a few days, Ginny's impression of him worsened.

Harry's changed opinion of Draco led to a less deliberate estrangement between the two than before.

In Ginny's eyes, not being estranged meant being close!

A few days later, the end-of-term exams arrived as scheduled. The students, who had not endured the threat of being confined in a room for half a year, remained energetic and vibrant, and were able to handle the pressure of the exams.

The exams for second graders weren't much different from those for first graders. Professor Flitwick asked them to make more fruit sing a chorus, Professor McGonagall asked everyone to turn a large rooster into a vase, and Professor Snape's project was to brew a calming agent...

After a round of exams, all the students were exhausted.

But the Quidditch final that came soon after gave them a renewed boost.

The curse on the Gryffindor team has been broken. Encouraged by the enthusiasm of his friends, Harry successfully caught the Golden Snitch and led the Gryffindor team to win this year's championship.

Eight years later, Gryffindor's team won another annual championship, which made Professor McGonagall so happy that she used her authority as vice-principal to prepare food and drinks made by house-elves for the party.

There's also good news: the Auto Chess game, which has been a difficult project to develop for a whole year, is finally complete.

Jimmy added a lot of versatility to the Auto Chess board, proving that some of the mechanical thinking behind computer game development was wrong. The pieces created by alchemy inherently possess a certain level of intelligence.

Auto Chess is truly auto chess; as soon as a round begins, the pieces will charge forward and fight against the opponent's pieces until a winner is determined.

After the round ends, the pieces reassemble their broken arms and legs and can move back to their original positions... truly self-moving.

Chapter 168 Lost Privileges

The game was named Legacy of Hogwarts, and Jimmy admitted that the name was chosen with the intention of creating a mischievous effect, in addition to being inspired by Lockhart's so-called ancient magic.

Moreover, the name "Legacy of Hogwarts" is not entirely unacceptable. Auto Chess needs to develop various bonded pieces based on the history of the Wizarding World, and the British Wizarding World can never be separated from Hogwarts.

With Professor McGonagall's help, Raccoon Alchemy has recruited another batch of employees, bringing the total number of staff to 23.

Jimmy has sent the entire process of making Auto Chess to Raccoon Alchemy, so that the employees can start production and he is required to stock up on enough stock before summer vacation.

Finally!

As the students' final month at school drew to a close amidst laughter and joy, Jimmy hired his friends to distribute flyers to the entire school during the last two days.

Raccoon Alchemy has launched a new auto chess game with a similar mechanism to Wizard's Chess, but with a more enjoyable experience. Welcome to visit our store to experience it.

Show the flyer at the store to experience the product and you can receive a free drink.

You can get a 20% discount if you want to buy Auto Chess.

A standard chessboard set plus a set of standard chess pieces costs 80 Galleons, while different themed chessboards and standard chess pieces cost 100 Galleons.

Several sets of individual game pieces are also available for sale. During a match, simply insert the flat box containing the game pieces into the side of the game board to add the game pieces from the box to the card pool. Each set of special game pieces costs 60 Galleons.

These toys aren't actually that expensive; buying them will only hurt your wallet for a short time, considering that George and Fred's deluxe fireworks can sell for 35 Galleons a box.

Two days later, this year's holiday arrived as scheduled...

The students boarded the Hogwarts Express and set off from the Scottish Highlands toward London.

The year's thrilling adventures came to an end once again, with Jimmy and Hermione escaping Harry's box, where the atmosphere was tense because Ginny and Draco didn't get along.

There were quite a few people in the private room where Jimmy and Hermione were. Luna and Roff were playing Auto Chess, and two groups of animal pieces were fighting in the inner circle of the huge square chessboard.

On the side closest to the player, there are several glowing texts and icons displaying information such as gold coins, synergies, and health.

The battle ended, and Luna lost this round, losing 12 health points.

The pieces picked up their broken limbs, returned to their original positions, and roared fiercely at the opposite side, as if cursing and demonstrating.

"Oh, that's so ungentlemanly," Jimmy teased Rove, whose health bar hadn't dropped a single drop; he was completely absorbed in the game, seemingly only focused on winning or losing.

Unfazed by the teasing, Rolf scratched his head and chuckled, "Auto Chess is so much fun...hehe..."

Luna, despite losing health, was not discouraged. She diligently refreshed the card pool, constantly tapping the refresh button, but she still hadn't gotten the piece she wanted by the time the match started.

“The horned snore beast cannot be with the water worm... but that’s alright, they can reunite when they return to the chessboard.”

Among the five main synergies, there are two types of animal pieces: Fantastic Beasts and Mystic Creatures. One type is Mystic Creatures, which are prepared to bribe dissenters, while the other type is Fantastic Beasts, which were mainly designed by Ralph.

Both players used their own designed pieces to duel, and in the end, the Yu-Gi-Oh! champion, Rolf, won. After winning the game, he frantically wrote down his game tips and card combination strategies in his notebook.

After watching for a long time and figuring out the rules, Hermione played a game with Jimmy. It was a lot of fun, but Hermione didn't get addicted to the game. They soon started talking about their plans for the summer.

"My dad said in his letter that he's taking me on vacation to France. Do you want to come with us?"

Jimmy was very tempted, but he was busy. He needed to negotiate a partnership with overseas distributors for Raccoon Alchemy and Blaine Potions.

Even after creating Auto Chess, he couldn't relax. He also had to teach the Alchemy Workshop employees alchemy so that they could at least reach the level of being able to independently complete the second and third phases of the plan.

If you do everything yourself or recruit men from the school, what's the point of paying so much to hire employees?

The second and third phases of the plan should be carried out simultaneously, ideally within a year. After that, they will only need to update and maintain the four existing games in Raccoon Alchemy Studio to make money continuously.

Blaine Potions also needs Jimmy to use his amazing wisdom to research more personal care products, and cooperation with foreign distributors is also very important.

These tasks left him with very little time, but Jimmy found it hard to refuse Hermione's subtle expectations.

"When?"

“It’s on July 12th,” Hermione said happily.

After thinking about the itinerary, Jimmy said, "Okay, I'll go to my parents' house on the 11th to see them, and then I'll go with you guys."

The train pulled into the station with a whistle, and the students disembarked one after another.

Jimmy attracted a lot of attention from students' parents. Even those who were once purebreds bowed down to him with fawning smiles due to the gap in both money and talent.

Jimmy ignored all those who wanted to curry favor with him. After watching Hermione get into the car with Uncle George and Aunt Mia, his body instantly twisted and shrank to the size of a pinhead and disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already standing at the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron.

Apparition, this convenient spell is learned when you reach level 60.

Even though he's not old enough to qualify for the Apparition license exam, who cares?

Having mastered Apparition and the ability to silently and without a wand cast a wide variety of spells, Jimmy could set off fireworks on Big Ben without the Ministry of Magic being able to trace him.

Upon entering the Leaky Cauldron, Old Tom, who was talking to a customer, immediately spotted him. "Hey! Jimmy, I played your Legacy of Hogwarts, it was great!"

"Long time no see, old Tom. Have you agreed to buy a few chessboards to put in the bar? I can give you a better discount."

Wow, you've grown so much taller in just one year!

Jimmy is now almost 14 years old and 168cm tall, which is quite outstanding among his peers.
