Hogwarts: Jade, stop controlling Harry!

As soon as Xiaoyu woke up, the first thing she did was close her eyes and begin to pray to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky...

"Buddha, Jesus, Jade Emperor, please protect me...please don't let me go back to the antique shop!"

Unfortunately, Xiaoyu's prayers were in vain.

"Ah! No! How did I get back..."

Xiaoyu slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the giant moose plush toy placed on the bedside table, which made her sigh.

"Sigh, why can't Harry and I control the time exchange? If we could, I might be able to board the train to Hogwarts..."

Although Xiaoyu complained, she also knew that she was being too greedy.

So Jade quickly perked up, jumped out of bed, changed her shoes, and like Harry, picked up the diary that was on the table.

I flipped through the pages as I went downstairs.

Harry was resting at the antique shop yesterday... Great, no need to brush her teeth, they don't have her toothbrush here!

"Huh? Harry found another charm for Uncle Dragon! Cool!"

Xiaoyu walked to the edge of the stairs and exclaimed in surprise.

It seems that while she was helping Harry build up his reputation, Harry wasn't idle either, perfectly fulfilling his role as her best partner to Uncle Dragon.

Overjoyed, Xiaoyu skipped and hopped down the stairs.

Then I heard my dad's dissatisfied voice...

"Xiaoyu, keep your voice down... Do you want to wake up your dad who only slept for three hours?!"

The old man pushed open the door and said to Xiaoyu, who was standing at the door, with dissatisfaction.

"Good morning, Dad, but you don't look like you've only slept for three hours," Xiaoyu shrugged.

See? She knew no one here missed her.

Ah, just as I expected, she was already being disliked as soon as she got back.

But Xiaoyu didn't care about any of that. She couldn't wait to ask, "Dad! Where's Uncle Long? Isn't he here? I have a new spell to show you!"

The old man sighed helplessly, "He went out; he has work to take care of..."

"As for Xiaoyu, there's a bottle of magic potion on the desk in the study. Drink it. There's also some change; buy some food on your way to school, and be a good girl on your way!"

"But isn't today the weekend, Dad? I don't have to go to school," Xiaoyu said, her hands behind her back.

Dad: "..."

"Then you'd better stay in the shop and don't disturb your father's rest!"

"Okay, okay, I got it." Xiaoyu said, made a face at her father, and then ran to the study.

The old man shook his head, went back inside, and lay down again...

But he tossed and turned for more than ten minutes without closing his eyes.

In the study, Xiaoyu had just picked up the strangely colored potion, opened it, smelled it, and showed a disgusted expression when she heard her father's voice!

.....

"Oh dear!!! Dad can't sleep at all now!"

Xiaoyu was startled and almost spilled the potion.

"What's wrong with Dad? He's making a bigger fuss, and he's acting like a stubborn old goat throwing a tantrum at me!" Xiaoyu muttered.

"Xiaoyu, don't speak ill of your father! He can hear you..."

The sound of my father's drawn-out voice came from outside.

Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "You're kidding, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiaoyu made a face and stuck out her tongue at the door.

The next second, Dad appeared at the study doorway with a teapot in hand. "I saw you making a face, Xiaoyu!"

"Dad, aren't you going to sleep?" Xiaoyu asked guiltily.

"Your father can't sleep now that you've disturbed him," the father said expressionlessly. "Drink the potion, Little Jade!"

"But this stuff smells awful, why should I drink it?" Xiaoyu pouted, took out the potion she had hidden behind her back, and pinched her nose as she spoke.

"Listen to me, this is how to ensure your soul is not corrupted," the old man said.

"The soul is not corrupted? What does that mean?" Xiaoyu asked, but seeing that her father didn't speak and was staring at her, Xiaoyu finally had no choice but to pinch her nose and drink the potion in one gulp.

"Oh my god... what is this? It tastes awful!"

Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue because of the spiciness.

The old man smiled and said, "I added some garlic!"

"Garlic? Is it raw? Is it necessary to add it?" Xiaoyu asked with wide eyes.

The old man pretended not to hear and remained silent.

Xiaoyu: "..."

"Now you should tell me what happened, right?" Xiaoyu asked angrily.

Only then did her father tell Jade that something dirty might be attached to Harry's body.

Xiaoyu blinked. "Is that so? But I didn't feel anything..."

"Perhaps you're just too slow-witted, Xiaoyu." Dad can be quite sarcastic sometimes.

Xiaoyu crossed her arms dismissively.

She knew that once she cast the restoration spell, her father would change his attitude!

So, taking advantage of her father's inattention, Xiaoyu subtly swept a teacup onto the floor...

"Snapped!"

The teacup shattered with a crack.

"Oh dear! This is my favorite teacup! Xiaoyu!" Dad exclaimed in shock, "You have to pay me back!"

"Don't worry, Dad, watch me!" Xiaoyu immediately jumped down, pointed at the teacup shards on the ground, and confidently chanted a spell.

"Fix it immediately!"

Nothing happened...

The old man put his hands on his hips and looked at Xiaoyu with displeasure.

Xiaoyu looked incredulous. "That's impossible! I definitely learned it! Dad, wait a minute."

"Fix it quickly!" Xiaoyu pointed again at the broken teacup on the ground.

Thank goodness, she finally succeeded this time...

The teacup, shattered beyond recognition on the ground, miraculously returned to its original state in the blink of an eye!

Dad's eyes immediately lit up. "Wow! Little Jade, where did you learn this spell? Dad won't have to worry about the antiques getting broken anymore!"

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she held up three fingers. "Help me ask for three days off, and I'll help you repair antiques from now on, Dad."

The father immediately refused, "That's impossible, Xiaoyu! You must go to school, and besides, Jackie Chan has already asked for leave for you twice."

"What?!" Xiaoyu was stunned. "Twice? That means he took leave last week too? This isn't fair to me! Why can Harry take leave?!"

"Besides, Dad, I can use magic now, so you should teach me some magic too. Hogwarts students only need to learn magic, not boring math, physics, chemistry, and the like!"

Upon hearing this, the old man was taken aback. "You mean that magic school doesn't teach this kind of knowledge?"

Xiaoyu nodded, "That's right!"

The old man frowned. "This won't do! It seems we'll have to make sure Harry goes to school when he comes."

Xiaoyu blinked, then instinctively covered her mouth. Oh dear, she let it slip... I'm so sorry!

"But Dad..."

"No buts!" Dad interrupted Jade, raising a stern finger. "Learning magic doesn't mean you're out of touch with society; science is important too!"

Xiaoyu lowered her head helplessly. Why was her father talking like Uncle Long now?

"Okay, I can talk to Sheriff Black and have him take you to the amusement park today," Dad added with a smile in his eyes.

Jade's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank you, Dad! You're so kind! I'll head to District 13 right now! Remember to call Sheriff Black..."

"Say it," Xiaoyu said hurriedly and ran out the door.

...

"That girl, she's still so impatient."

The old man shook his head, walked slowly to the desk, and bent down to pick up the repaired teacup.

When I picked it up and took a look...

Dad suddenly froze. "Oh dear! Dad's teacup... how come it's brand new?!"

"Now Dad's antique teacup is worthless!"
