Hogwarts: Jade, stop controlling Harry!

After Harry sent Hagrid away.

Without lingering on the first floor of the bar, which had been restored to its original state, he turned around and went back to his room.

It's not that I'm in a hurry to come back and open the gifts.

Most of the guests who attended Harry's birthday party gave him snacks, desserts, cakes, and the like.

Others chose to give books as gifts.

And some other small, miscellaneous items.

Harry hadn't forgotten to ask if Jade had left him any clues when he came back.

Since he was able to record his experiences at the antique shop during that week, Xiaoyu, whom Uncle Long always mentioned as being very clever, should be able to do the same, right?

As soon as Harry entered the house, he began searching around the room.

And then I saw the thick stack of brand-new Potions books on the bedside table.

Harry was stunned when he saw the books.

Uncle Long said that Xiaoyu didn't like studying, so how come she suddenly became so diligent after entering her body?

Behind his back, secretly working hard?

However, that's not the key point.

The key point is that Harry saw a small notebook that looked like a diary!

"As expected!"

Harry's eyes lit up immediately. He put down the stack of thick books and picked up the diary, opening it eagerly.

"call..."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief; he had guessed correctly, and Jade had also kept a record of this period, just like him.

Harry, holding the diary, quickly walked to the lamp and began to read it carefully.

But soon, Harry was shocked by what Jade had written, and his hand holding the diary trembled slightly.

Taking advantage of Dudley's birthday, he went to the zoo, used magic to deliberately cause a riot, and took the opportunity to escape.

Me?!

Harry couldn't even imagine how angry Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon would be when they couldn't find him anywhere.

No wonder he lives in Diagon Alley now. Harry doesn't even want to think about what kind of storm he would face if he went back to Privet Drive.

And this is just the beginning, merely the tip of the iceberg.

The next part of the diary entry was what truly made Harry's vision go black.

He actually managed to travel all the way to London by bus by himself, and even managed to evade the wizards who were searching for him at the Ministry of Magic.

Putting aside the question of what exactly the Ministry of Magic is, Harry had never heard of it.

Harry could hardly imagine the dangers involved. But in her diary, Jade only mentioned it lightly, glossing over it.

Then Jade bumped into Dumbledore at the airport...

Harry had heard the name before.

Dumbledore is likely the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the greatest white wizard Hermione spoke of, and the one who handed Harry over to the Dursleys 11 years ago.

He hasn't even enrolled yet, but he's already alarmed the principal?

Harry put down his diary, took several deep breaths, and felt like crying but couldn't. After a while, he mustered up his courage and continued reading.

This time, Jade failed to escape from Dumbledore. Instead, Dumbledore took her to the Leaky Cauldron and she met Fudge, the Minister of Magic!

Harry didn't know what the Ministry of Magic was, but the Minister sounded impressive.

Xiaoyu even emphasized this in her diary.

How she argued with Fudge to allow Harry to stay in Diagon Alley until school started when he wanted to send Harry back to his aunt's house.

This is not over yet!

Harry never expected that Jade would mistake Hagrid for a bad guy and run away a second time!

Finally, she encountered two Hogwarts teachers, one of whom gave Jade the salamander...

By the end, Harry was somewhat numb.

He couldn't imagine how much courage and audacity it would take for a person to accomplish so much in just one week.

In comparison, Harry originally thought that it was already a remarkable achievement that he was able to escape from those bad guys in the Black Hand organization.

Looking back now, it's really not worth mentioning...

.....

Harry read Jade's diary several times before finally putting it down.

Although some of Jade's actions, even in Harry's eyes, which he considered himself to be very bold, were audacious to the point of being outrageous.

But at least the result was good...

Think about it, he not only successfully left the Dursleys, at least until the school holidays, he no longer had to worry about how to go back and face them, and he also had the opportunity to go to a magic school.

Harry could only console himself with this thought, forcibly ignoring the serious consequences of his actions.

He had thoroughly offended the Dursleys, and he was certain he would face dire consequences upon returning home.

And he played a trick on most of the Ministry of Magic's staff!

He also made a deep impression on the headmaster before even enrolling in school; and he confronted the Minister of Magic, leaving him embarrassed.

Compared to these things.

Harry didn't even notice the trivial matter of Jade tapping Quirrell's bamboo pole.

Okay, Harry wants to go back to his dad's antique shop now.

After Harry sat in the armchair staring blankly at the fireplace for a while, he suddenly jumped up from the chair.

Harry's mindset has changed.

What's there to be afraid of? The deed is already done.

Jade is brave, but I, Harry, am no less brave!

Even if we face retribution later, that's a matter for the future.

But now, Harry felt he should be happy—he was about to have the freest summer of his life.

With this in mind, Harry finally let go of his inner turmoil.

After all, everyone seemed quite friendly towards him, didn't they?

Harry thought he should write down his experiences today, whether as a diary or in case he and Jade switch bodies again.

However, Harry was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open; he had done too much today.

So Harry made his decision in less than a second—he kicked off his shoes, quickly took off his clothes, and jumped onto the real bed he had always dreamed of and longed for.

Xiaoyu's salamander was lying on the headboard, seemingly frightened by Harry.

Fortunately, it didn't breathe fire; it was just a false alarm.

Harry then took off his glasses and tossed them aside, right next to his new wand.

Let's leave tomorrow's problems for tomorrow.

He's going to sleep now.

In less than a minute, Harry had automatically fallen into a deep sleep.

.....

At the same time.

In a middle-class family neighborhood in London.

After returning from Diagon Alley, Hermione went to a fancy restaurant with her parents for a big meal to celebrate her upcoming school enrollment.

I've only been home a short while.

What the Grangers didn't expect was...

The first thing their youngest daughter did upon returning home wasn't to eagerly flip through the huge stack of books she'd bought from Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley.

Instead, they started rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

The Grangers were very curious, and after a brief discussion in hushed tones, they sent Mr. Granger over to gather information.

"Hermione, my darling, what are you doing? Packing your bags now? I think it's too early."

Mr. Granger knocked on the door before entering his daughter's room and speaking softly to her.

Upon hearing this, Hermione lifted her small face and hurriedly brushed the hair from her forehead. "I'm not packing my luggage."

"So you are here?" Mr. Granger asked, somewhat surprised.

Hermione remained engrossed in her work, not looking up, and said, "I'm looking for some things that I don't need or can't use."

Mr. Granger then realized what was going on and tentatively asked.

"Hermione, are you planning to give all these things to your new classmate?"
