Hogwarts: Jade, stop controlling Harry!
Chapter 16 The Silver-Haired Man with a Long Beard
After Xiaoyu jumped out of the taxi, she ran into the airport terminal in a flash.
Although she didn't quite understand why the invisibility effect had suddenly disappeared, this might cause some minor trouble for her plan to sneak onto the plane.
But Xiaoyu wasn't too worried. Even if she couldn't become invisible, she had other ways.
Xiaoyu has confidence in her current body! She has a feeling that she has only developed less than one-tenth of the body's potential.
I really don't understand why this boy was bullied by his cousin and had to endure it silently at his aunt's house.
At least Xiaoyu couldn't tolerate even a little bit!
But just as Xiaoyu looked around, considering her next move...
A figure that stood out in the crowd, even towering over the crowd, caught Xiaoyu's attention.
"My goodness, his beard is so long... and so tall!" Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks, exclaiming inwardly.
He was an old man wearing a small silver hat and a brightly colored, gorgeous silver robe adorned with star and moon patterns, with a long, thick, silver-white beard that almost reached his waist.
He stood motionless amidst the bustling crowd, yet he immediately caught Xiaoyu's attention.
Especially the deep eyes behind the crescent-shaped glasses he wore reminded Xiaoyu of her father!
Those were eyes full of wisdom.
An elderly man like that should attract a lot of attention.
Surprisingly, none of the passersby who hurried past this tall, thin old man stopped or even glanced at him...
It was as if they couldn't see each other.
Xiaoyu immediately realized that something was wrong.
Most importantly! The strange robe the old woman was wearing was the same as, or at least similar to, the robes worn by the group of people waiting for her at the bus station.
He came looking for her!
Xiaoyu thought to herself and immediately made the right choice. She turned around and left, preparing to avoid the old man in front of her.
Xiaoyu wasn't worried that she would be discovered.
In the bustling terminal, who would notice a small, unremarkable little boy?
But when Xiaoyu had almost run to the other side of the hall, she stopped and wanted to look around again to see if there were any strange people dressed differently from others.
What happened next surprised and even shocked Xiaoyu!
The old man who had been standing motionless near the entrance was now sitting leisurely on a bench in front of her, with his legs crossed.
How exactly did he get through it?
Xiaoyu blinked, but she didn't have time to think about the question carefully. She quietly retreated step by step, trying to avoid the mysterious old man in front of her again.
But before Xiaoyu could get far away...
The silver-haired old man, who was sitting leisurely with his legs crossed, his fingers lightly touching his knees, gazing into the distance, happened to turn his head and calmly look in Xiaoyu's direction.
Xiaoyu easily noticed the hint of a smile in the old man's deep blue eyes. He seemed to know her and was as if he had been waiting for her on that bench all along.
really!
The silver-haired old man raised his hand and waved to Xiaoyu.
"Oh no, I've been caught..." Xiaoyu muttered with a bitter face.
She hesitated for less than a second between running away and obediently going over, and then decided to go and see!
Xiaoyu felt that the old man in front of her, who was very similar to her father in some way, might have the power to cast magic, just like her father!
And she didn't dislike the old man in front of her.
As the thin boy walked towards him, Dumbledore put on a gentle smile.
"Harry Potter, my child, can you tell me where you want to go?"
Xiaoyu, who had just approached, overheard this. She raised an eyebrow in surprise, tilted her head, and asked curiously, "So, you know me?"
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore smiled and said meaningfully, "Of course, Harry, you are more famous than you realize."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu pouted, and like a deflated balloon, she slumped down, walked to the silver-haired old man's side, and plopped down on the bench.
"I should have guessed. So, those people in black robes were looking for me too?"
"That's right, Harry, you're much more astute than everyone thinks." Dumbledore's smile grew even more amiable. "We almost really lost you."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's eyes widened in surprise. "Almost? Does that mean you've been following me the whole time?"
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore finally laughed out loud, not in a mature way, but like a child's giggle.
Xiaoyu crossed her arms, somewhat disgruntled. "I don't understand, what's so funny about this?"
"No, no, no, Harry, I'm not making fun of you." Dumbledore was almost laughing himself to death. He barely managed to stop laughing before giving Jade a teasing wink.
"I bet Fudge and his colleagues are still frantically searching for you in every corner of London."
"So, you're not with those people?" Xiaoyu immediately caught the loophole in the old man's words.
"Not entirely." Dumbledore's eyes held a hint of relief. "To be precise, I am a professor, and you can call me Professor Dumbledore."
"So, you're a teacher? Good heavens, are all British teachers this dedicated? At your age, you still have to teach?" Xiaoyu exclaimed in amazement.
Dumbledore maintained a silent smile.
On the contrary, Xiaoyu felt much happier after learning that the old man who found her was not one of those men in black robes.
At least she got rid of one of those people, didn't she?
"So, are you going to take me back to school now?" Xiaoyu asked again.
"It's not time for school to start yet, and besides, Harry, you haven't really entered Hogwarts yet... Oh, by the way, there's something I'd like to give you in person; it should clear up some of your doubts."
As Dumbledore spoke, he began searching inside his shimmering silver robe.
Under Xiaoyu's curious gaze, he pulled a pale yellow letter with a sealed wax seal from his pocket and handed it to her.
"What is this?"
Xiaoyu took the letter and turned it over and over.
The envelope features a beautifully drawn pattern with a shield in the center, surrounded by a lion, eagle, crown, and snake.
She noticed that the envelope was written in bright green ink:
[London - Heathrow Airport Terminal - First bench on the left]
[To Mr. Harry Potter]
When Xiaoyu saw this line of text, her mouth couldn't help but open slightly.
She felt an itch in her head... and couldn't help but want to raise her hand to scratch it... too many questions filled her mind, making it feel somewhat congested.
The first question that comes to mind is, how did they know she would come here?
When Dumbledore saw the thin boy sitting next to him, whose emerald green eyes cast a questioning look at him, he spoke with great understanding.
"Let's open it and take a look. Your parents, Harry, received the same letter from Hogwarts back then."
