The King of Flags at Hogwarts

Jady sat up from her lying position, not forgetting to give Bobby a dirty look, and said to Hermione, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Hermione said, "Recently, a very powerful wizard who immigrated from China to England published two articles on defense against the dark magic, which have attracted a lot of attention from the entire wizarding world."

But his name is very difficult to pronounce.

Hermione tried to pronounce it: "Xiuxing? Xiaang?"

She was very frustrated. "No, this is Pinyin, and it's completely different from how we pronounce it."

Jadi leaned closer and saw that the author's name in the article's author section was "Xiao Xiang·Li".

Forgive Daiyu, she didn't have Pinyin back then. She lived here for eleven years, and when she saw English letters, she subconsciously read them using the English spelling. As a result, she read them even worse than Hermione.

Seeing Bobby open another bag of Chocolate Frogs, Jady snatched it from her, put the candy behind her back, and handed her the newspaper. "Read!"

Bobby glanced at it reluctantly, then pronounced it clearly and distinctly: "Alley Li? Xiaoxiang Li?"

"Li Xiaoxiang?"

Suddenly, Jady jumped up in fright.

Afraid that Hermione would find out their little secret, she blurted out in Chinese like a machine gun: "Bobby! Do you think he might be my brother from the Li family?"

Bobby was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "How could that be! Don't I know him? That can't possibly be your brother from the Li family!"

I thought Jady would be disappointed, but to my surprise, her eyes grew brighter and brighter: "Bobby, didn't you just say that he could never be the Li family's brother?"

"Holy crap!" Bobby exclaimed in shock. How had he unknowingly set a flag for himself?

Upon closer examination, the surnames are the same, both being Li, and Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the name of the courtyard where Lin Daiyu lived in the Grand View Garden, while her pen name was Xiaoxiang Concubine, given to her by Jia Tanchun.

If we analyze it this way, Li Xiaoxiang is Li De'er's alias... that's actually quite possible! Jie Di's excitement must be because she heard the name Xiaoxiang.

But that doesn't make sense. How could Voldemort possibly be resurrected at this point in time?

However, I did just make a promise, and given my tendency to speak my mind, it's probably true, so I still need to verify it.

How did Voldemort resurrect in the original comics?

My father's bones... well, they're in the old house.

The servant's flesh... Holy crap, Quirrell's left hand!

The blood of an enemy... Harry...?

As far as Bobby remembered, Harry hadn't bled much so far. He did suffer some minor injuries in Quidditch, but Quirrell had already taken leave from Hogwarts by then.

“Hermione,” Bobby looked at Hermione with a serious expression, “has Professor Quirrell done anything strange to Harry this semester?”

Hermione looked bewildered: "What's so strange?"

Bobby spoke very quickly: "Make Harry bleed or something."

Hermione thought for a moment and replied, "Harry didn't bleed. On Halloween, Harry's face was covered in blood by a troll, and Professor Quirrell helped him wipe it off..."

Whoosh, Poppy vanished into thin air without any explanation.

Hermione's eyes widened in amazement. "Jeddy, Poppy, is that Apparate?"

Jady nodded without saying a word. Her heart was pounding in her chest.

It's him! It's him! It must be him!

----------

The Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.

Bobby's sudden appearance startled both Dumbledore and Fawkes.

Of course, the latter would never blame her. Not only would he not blame her, but he would also happily fly onto her shoulder, willingly becoming a sycophant.

“Bobby, I don’t think the Hogwarts Express has arrived yet. Weren’t you supposed to experience what it’s like to be a regular little wizard? What’s wrong? Giving up halfway isn’t your style.”

Bobby didn't joke or chat with Dumbledore; her face wore the most serious expression she had in her eleven years of life, which made Dumbledore tense as well.

"Teacher, Voldemort has been resurrected."

Chapter 30 Tom, who understands love, is nothing to fear.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, showing no particular surprise. He simply adjusted his glasses and asked with a smile, "Child, how did you know?"

Bobby was taken aback; she suddenly realized that this matter seemed a bit unclear!

Lin Daiyu never told her godparents or teachers about the tragic love story between her and Li De'er.

"Um, teacher... this is a bit complicated to explain."

"Is it because of Miss Indigo?"

Bobby's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Teacher, how did you know?"

Dumbledore loved seeing Bobby's surprised expression.

This child is precocious; seeing the expressions a child should have on her face is what he, as her teacher, finds most gratifying.

"I often listen to Little Bobby's Storytelling Classroom. The story of Liddell and Lin Daiyu is the most interesting of all the stories. It's more interesting than Grindelwald's battle against the Nine-Tailed Fox or Dumbledore's search for One Piece."

Oh dear, making fun of the teacher isn't the problem, the problem is getting caught red-handed by the teacher...

Bobby's face immediately turned as red as a steamed crab... It was so embarrassing.

Social death count +1, dirt on me that my teacher knows +1...

"Hahaha, I have a general idea now. I heard you say that Voldemort and Lin Daiyu would eventually end up together, but two years have passed and nothing has happened. I thought your prediction would definitely fail this time, but this year we discovered that little witch named Jade Indigo."

She's the Lin Daiyu from your story, isn't she?

Dumbledore had lived for so many years, and he had never seen anyone with such extraordinary "prophetic" abilities as Bobby.

Everyone makes prophecies based on reality. But Poppy is different; her prophecies can even be completely fabricated. Thankfully, she didn't make any absurd predictions like "Dumbledore will definitely eat a Devil Fruit"...

“Okay,” Bobby said, getting down to business as his face flushed slightly. “Hermione said on the train today that there’s a Chinese wizard who’s really popular lately.”

Dumbledore nodded. "I know that person, Xiao Xiang Li?"

"Yes, I accidentally said to Jady, 'That definitely can't be your brother from the Li family'..."

Dumbledore asked, "Because you made a prophecy, we're going to announce that Voldemort has been resurrected? Child, I'm afraid not many people will believe that."

Dumbledore said seriously, "We need evidence."

Bobby nodded: "Listen to me, teacher. When I realized what I had said, I carefully considered the possibility of Voldemort's resurrection."

Old Deng nodded slightly, indicating that he was listening.

Bobby continued, “Your son may be reborn from the bones of your father, given unintentionally; your master may be reborn from the flesh of your servant, given voluntarily; and your enemy may be resurrected from the blood of your enemy, given under duress.”

"Teacher, you must know about this ancient magic. The father's bones are very simple; Voldemort's father is lying in the graveyard. We also know about the servant's flesh; Professor Quirrell lost his left hand. As for the enemy's blood, I didn't know about it until Hermione told me that on Halloween night, Harry was slashed on the face by a troll and bled a lot, and Professor Quirrell cleaned it up for him."

Dumbledore closed his eyes and thought for a long time, figuring out all the key points.

"On Halloween, Quirrell let the troll in to distract us, and he must have gone to the third-floor corridor. Quirrell probably realized it was a trap..."

“No, teacher,” Bobby interrupted him, “Professor Quirrell still believes the Philosopher’s Stone is real. It was Voldemort himself who saw through your scheme.”

Dumbledore frowned. "Judging from Tom's behavior in his later years, he wasn't exactly a cautious person..."

Bobby said weakly, "Maybe he went to ancient China and lived there for more than ten years, and his personality changed?"

In fact, Bobby had already made a deduction. Before Voldemort was born into the world of the Dream of the Red Chamber, his soul was incomplete. It was because the creation of Horcruxes shattered his soul that he became deranged and almost insane in his later years.

But after going through a cycle in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, most of the incompleteness was filled in, intelligence regained its dominance, and the wise Tom Riddle of the past returned.

Otherwise, how could Miss Lin, with her discerning eye, possibly be interested in a cruel and mentally challenged person?

In response to Bobby's explanation, Dumbledore said, "It's not impossible. If that's the case, then Tom had already given up on the Philosopher's Stone and was preparing to be resurrected by another method. It just so happened that Harry bled while fighting the troll, which gave him the opportunity to be resurrected."

"So Quirrell took leave to resurrect Voldemort..."

Dumbledore stood up, now convinced that Voldemort had returned to life. The slightly anxious old man paced around his office a couple of times.

Phoenix Fox and Bobby just watched him spin around.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to have figured something out, and smiled at Bobby: "Bobby, perhaps we're worrying too much."

Bobby tilted his head in confusion, much like a Border Collie that couldn't find the frisbee hidden behind its owner.

"Let's assume Voldemort has been resurrected, but instead of immediately gathering the Death Eaters, he's using the name 'Li Xiaoxiang' to swagger around. What do you think he's planning?"

Bobby didn't know why the teacher suddenly asked that question, so he followed the teacher's train of thought.

"Ah!" Bobby exclaimed, suddenly realizing, "I understand! That day in the Forbidden Forest, when I fought Voldemort, I was partly testing him and partly stalling for time. I revealed that Lin Daiyu had also been reincarnated, and then Voldemort discovered that Jade was Lin Daiyu..."

"Therefore, in Voldemort's heart now, Jady is the most important thing to him!"

Dumbledore nodded: "Although I didn't know so much had happened in between, I think that's pretty much what happened."

The old man's gaze softened as he looked into Bobby's eyes. "Child, I have never doubted your intelligence. It's just that sometimes you need to calm down."

"So, the teacher means we don't need to pay attention to Li Xiaoxiang?"

“The necessary surveillance is still necessary,” Dumbledore said with a chuckle when he saw Bobby’s nervous expression. He knew that she was ultimately worried about her friend being hurt. “The reason why Voldemort was so feared was because he had no love in his heart. Back then, he only brought fear and dread to the world.”

But now he knows what love is, something I couldn't achieve even after seven years of teaching him. In fact, it seems to me that he now loves to the point of recklessness.

So what is there to fear about a Voldemort like that?

Stepping out of the headmaster's office, Bobby was dizzy. Voldemort had learned what love was? Why did that sound so unmagical?

Furthermore, judging from the teacher's implied meaning, Jady is our biggest bargaining chip? With her, Voldemort will be hesitant to act?

Oh dear, the adult world is too dark. I'm just an eleven-year-old child, I don't understand, I don't understand.

At dinner time, when Bobby saw Jady looking exhausted, he secretly made up his mind that he would never ride the Hogwarts Slow again.

Of course, she didn't say this determination out loud, otherwise it would have become a flag!

“Bobby,” Jady looked at her with some worry, “did you tell the principal about Li Xiaoxiang?”

Bobby nodded, forked a piece of steak, and put it in his mouth.

Did the principal tell you how to handle this?

Jady's tone was calm, but Bobby could still detect unease, anxiety, and... anticipation in it.
