Hogwarts: Jade, stop controlling Harry!

When they learned that the boy who had miraculously survived lived upstairs in the bar, they were completely unaware of it.

The wizards in the entire bar were in an uproar!

"What did you say?"

"Really? The child was in the bar?"

The bar instantly descended into chaos.

Each of them first complained to the bar owner, Tom, accusing him of deliberately hiding the matter from them.

Then, everyone couldn't wait any longer and started asking Harry, who had miraculously survived, which floor he lived on and why he hadn't come down yet.

Just then, Diego, who had just jumped up in excitement, suddenly remembered something and shouted.

"Wait! So Hagrid came to pick up that boy?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

"Good heavens, I should have known!" exclaimed one of the diners who was with Diego and his group.

"Then why was it so chaotic upstairs just now? Did something happen?" Diego asked again.

Upon hearing Diego's words, the other wizards who were still excitedly discussing the matter immediately fell silent.

The bar instantly returned to its previous quiet state, but only for a few seconds...

Diego was the first to run up to the second floor.

"I'm going to go check it out! You guys wait for my good news!"

But the other wizards, realizing what was happening, weren't about to give Diego the chance. They followed suit, making a ruckus and rushing upstairs.

They were all eager to know what had happened to the boy who had miraculously survived, and whether something had gone wrong.

If it were just a chance to see the boy, people probably wouldn't be so excited...

The bar owner, Tom, hadn't forgotten the double instructions from the Minister of Magic and the greatest white wizard: not to let any irrelevant people disturb Harry.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Old Tom shouted at them not to go up, no one paid any attention.

Oh, poor old Tom~

.....

Quirrell wanted to blend into the crowd and go upstairs to take a look.

That's how it was originally...

But before Quirrell, pale-faced and looking as if his kidneys had been ripped out by the Leviathan, could even step onto the stairs, he was pushed down by the other noisy wizards.

An old witch who had been trembling and leaning on a cane just moments before suddenly and nimbly reached out and grabbed Quirrell's headscarf and hair, pulling him back forcefully!

The old witch used the momentum to leap up the stairs...

Poor Quirrell remained where he was, clutching his precious headscarf in pain and groaning helplessly and cowardly.

"Waaaaah... No, it's not my fault, please don't do this..."

Unfortunately, nobody cared about Quirrell.

It was a joke not only at Hogwarts, but also in Diagon Alley.

The only people still downstairs were Severus Snape, whose brows were furrowed, the bar owner Tom, and Quirrell.

Snape stood ramrod straight, his eyes narrowed as if he sensed something, and he began to scan the entire bar...

All of this chaotic scene was observed by Xiaoyu, who had quietly gone downstairs and was secretly watching from the corner of the wall!

"Harry, Harry, I'm getting more and more curious about your background," Jade murmured to herself.

However, the more chaotic the scene, the more Xiaoyu liked it.

That will block out that big guy on top.

Xiaoyu estimated that it wouldn't be long before the giant-like man realized she wasn't in the room and chased after her.

If he's not stupid...

Xiaoyu, meanwhile, was trying to take advantage of the chaos to meet up with the Hogwarts teacher she had overheard earlier.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the corner, Xiaoyu quietly approached her target.

.....

Hagrid was absolutely furious.

The anger stemmed from many sources—including his frantic search for Harry and the fact that these noisy idiots had now almost completely blocked the corridor, surrounding him and asking him where Harry was!

"Enough! Be quiet!" Hagrid roared.

This mixed-race giant's lung capacity was indeed extraordinary; the entire bar trembled at his booming voice.

The chaotic situation was finally brought under control...

Only temporarily.

Because these regulars at the Leaky Cauldron all knew Hagrid, they were not intimidated by the seemingly kind-hearted gamekeeper, Hagrid, even though he was angry.

"Hagrid, where is the boy? Could we let him come out and meet everyone?"

"We all just wanted to shake his hand and thank him!"

Digo, squeezed in the crowd, raised his head and shouted at Hagrid.

His words were met with agreement from those around him.

"That's right, we just want to meet Mr. Harry Potter."

"Thank Merlin, he ended those terrible and horrific dark days..." Some people were even choked with emotion.

Most people had expectant looks on their faces.

Those who haven't experienced those terrifying, dark, and turbulent days will never understand what that child meant to them.

But Hagrid became even more agitated.

He glared at Tom, the bar owner below, and shouted.

"Tom, Harry isn't in his room. Tell me where the boy went!"

The entire bar fell silent, with only Hagrid's voice echoing, but the wizards erupted into chaos the next second, like boiling water.

"What did you say? Harry Potter is missing!"

.....

Quirrell, who failed to squeeze onto the stairs, looked even more tired than before.

He dragged himself to the chair and sat down, drenched in sweat as if he had just finished a marathon.

He was muttering to himself, I don't know what he was saying.

Even if you were sitting next to him, you probably wouldn't be able to hear the exact words, but you could see that Quirrell looked terrified. Then, because of Hagrid's loud shout, he was so frightened that he almost slid off his chair and onto the floor.

Just as the bar descended into even greater chaos.

A small paper ball flew precisely over, bounced once on the table, and landed in Quirrell's glass.

Quirrell's expression froze for a moment, a flash of anger crossing his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

Xiaoyu watched helplessly as the professor from Hogwarts picked the crumpled note out of his wine glass and casually tossed it on the ground, utterly speechless.

Is this guy really the teacher who was sent to pick her up?

Such a weak and incompetent guy, who looks so frail, could probably be beaten by ten of them with one hand!

This made Xiaoyu suddenly begin to doubt whether her decision to go to that magic school was really the right one.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xiaoyu saw that Qiluo had no intention of picking up the crumpled paper on the ground, so she reluctantly stepped forward.

To be honest, her first impression of this teacher was absolutely terrible!

.....

Snape also heard Hagrid's shout.

That troublesome boy looks like he's run away again!

This kind of unruly and rebellious child is practically a born Gryffindor, probably the next James Potter, or even worse.

God knows how that senile old man Dumbledore came to think that boy looked like Lily!

Snape was considering whether to walk away or help the half-giant whose brain seemed to be full of mush and magical creatures.

The commotion that suddenly came from Quirrell's side caught Snape's attention.

Quirrell looked around, then quickly got up and walked toward the courtyard leading to Diagon Alley.

Snape couldn't help but squint!
