The King of Flags at Hogwarts

"The night your parents were killed, a fragment of Voldemort's soul actually possessed you, and that's the real reason you have headaches."

Harry poked his head out from under the covers, his forehead covered in sweat. "Is this for real?"

“Yes, it’s true, I dreamt about it,” Bobby said, “You know, my dreams are always very accurate.”

Harry nodded in agreement. "Does your cousin have any ideas?"

"Do you remember why the ghosts of Hogwarts were avoiding me?"

"They say that getting close to you is like being pulled into the world of the dead."

Bobby smiled and nodded.

Harry's eyes widened, and he exclaimed with delight, "You mean, you can remove Voldemort's soul fragments too!"

"But Harry, if you successfully destroy the fragments of Voldemort's soul, you will no longer have Parsley."

"Snake language? What's that?"

"Harry asked."

Ron exclaimed, "Parsleyan is the ability to talk to snakes, a power usually possessed by dark wizards!"

Bobby rolled her eyes at Ron: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Parsleyan is usually an innate ability passed down from generation to generation, and it has nothing to do with whether someone is a dark wizard or not. The reason you can understand the basilisk is precisely because of Parsleyan."

Harry nodded. "Ah! So, does that mean Li Xiaoxiang also speaks Parsley?"

"Whether he speaks Parsley or not is none of your business. I'm only asking you, are you sure you want to remove the fragments of Voldemort's soul?"

“Of course! Of course!” Harry sat up, and despite his splitting headache, he seemed to be full of energy.

“Alright, Ron Weasley, please step out for a moment. Breakfast is ready, you can come down and eat. It’s rare to see someone as lazy as you. If it weren’t for your red hair, I would doubt whether you’re even a member of the Weasley family.”

Ron quickly explained, "I'm not going down to eat because I'm taking care of Harry!"

Bobby waved his hand. "Okay, okay, you're doing this to take care of Harry, so can you leave now?"

"Could you please excuse me for a moment? I need to get dressed..."

Bobby turned to the side, showing Ron her back, and said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up, are you even a man? It's like I'm interested in watching!"

Ron, his face flushed, dressed and fled the room as if his life depended on it.

"Wait a minute, Ron, take your rats with you. I hate dirty rats!"

Ron came running back, grabbed Banban's cage, and ran out again. It was clear that the little boy was a bit angry.

You can criticize him, but you can't criticize Banban!

"Harry, it might hurt a lot in a bit, you have to bear it."

Harry nodded. The chosen one of the planes, the prophesied savior, was certainly not a weak person.

Bobby reached out his right hand and pressed his fingers hard against the scar on Harry's forehead.

A wave of dizziness washed over Harry, and he couldn't help but recall that a few months ago in Diagon Alley, when his cousin touched his forehead, he had felt the same way, but at the time he thought it was just his imagination.

Bobby gradually channeled magic into Harry's head. Harry, who was only a little dizzy at first, suddenly felt a violent tearing pain, a pain that pierced his heart and made him wish he were dead. So this was what it felt like to have his soul torn apart!

Amidst the intense pain, Harry seemed to hear a resentful, sinister, and piercing wail emanating from within his mind, a sound filled with chaos and darkness.

After the world spun around him, Harry Potter fainted.

Not feeling reassured, Poppy continued to unleash her magic for quite a while before finally stopping.

Meanwhile, in the stables not far from the villa, Li Xiaoxiang was watching with a smile as Jady fed the foal.

Suddenly, he frowned, a very uncomfortable feeling welling up inside him, and he immediately turned to look in the direction of the villa.

“Hordeal?” He narrowed his eyes. “Never mind. Grindelwald is right. A life of mere temporary immortality is useless. I’ll find a new way once I’ve gained power.”

Suddenly, the image of Jady without a nose appeared in his mind, and he involuntarily shivered.

Having lived in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber for over a decade, his aesthetic sense has been greatly corrected; Lin Daiyu is definitely better when she's beautiful.

When Harry woke up again, it was lunchtime.

The headache that had been plaguing him for days was gone. He rolled out of bed, rushed to the window, and took a deep breath of fresh air—feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Downstairs, Harry saw that the large round table that had been placed in the tent had been moved to the living room. Everyone was already eating, and the aroma of the food wafted into Harry's nostrils.

"Harry!" Ginny was the first to spot Harry and shouted excitedly.

Ron tried to swallow the rice quickly, but he inhaled grains into his trachea and choked, coughing violently.

"Ha, cough cough, Harry, cough cough cough, hello, cough cough cough cough, are you all better?"

Harry glanced at Li Xiaoxiang and found that the man wasn't even looking at him; he was focused on removing the fish bones from the braised crucian carp for Jady Indigo.

"Harry, come down quickly!" Bobby waved vigorously at Harry, looking every bit the energetic girl. "Today we have your favorite beef and potato dish!"

Harry hurried downstairs and sat down next to Bobby, saying softly with gratitude, "Thank you, cousin."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat, it'll get cold soon."

Harry happily took his seat; he had been cooped up for days and was finally able to feast.

Snape stood up and said to Bobby, "Bobby, I have some things to do at school, and I'm going back this afternoon."

Bobby was very surprised. "So soon, Papa Snape?"

She unusually left her seat during the meal, went to Snape, grabbed his hand and shook it, saying, "Stay a couple more days, Papa Snape~~"

The goddaughter's coaxing didn't work. The godfather had already made up his mind to leave. He had been having a very pleasant few days, but if he stayed any longer... He glanced at Harry, which would only make these wonderful memories fade.

Overall, everyone had a good holiday, and when they went home to prepare to return to school, most people found that they had gained a lot of weight.

"Brother Xiaoxiang," Jie Di said, blushing, "do I look fat?"

In her previous life, Daiyu nearly starved to death, yet she utters such words now, demonstrating that the saying "times change" is not just a figure of speech.

Li Xiaoxiang smiled and gently pinched her nose, "You're only twelve years old, you're still growing."

Chapter 68 Harry Loses

All of Bobby's friends and family received her gift.

Those are dragon scale bracelets or necklaces that Bobby wove by hand.

Her alchemy skills were so-so; she racked her brains to barely make those dragon scale products resistant to the cold.

She thought it was because her skill level was too low, until Grindelwald's "great-uncle" told her that dragon scales had too high magic resistance and were actually not a very good alchemical vessel...

This is infuriating. It took Bobby several months of effort to create that. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have added any extra features.

This made her realize her lack of knowledge... So she began to study alchemy diligently, even though her godparents had stopped assigning her homework, she put pressure on herself.

"Bobby, what's wrong with you lately? You're always disappearing without a trace. Are you brewing that damn potion again?"

Jadi ate only two bites of food before gently putting down her chopsticks.

“No,” Bobby said, struggling to finish the ten-inch-high pile of steak in front of her. “Why aren’t you eating? These two bites aren’t enough.”

"It's all your fault. I've been staying at your house for so long, and I feel so heavy."

Bobby was stunned. Didn't feeling heavier mean she was pregnant? Damn Li Xiaoxiang, how could you be such a beast! But then she thought, maybe Jady just meant she had simply gained weight?

Seeing Bobby's uncertain expression, and not knowing what she was thinking, Jady continued, "It's weighed at least three or four pounds!"

Bobby laughed and said, "It's alright. When the time comes, have your brother Li cast a vanishing spell to make all that fat disappear and give you a slim figure again."

"Huh? Is this okay?" Jady had been spending a lot of time with Bobby, and her expressions had become more lively. Her current adorable appearance warmed Bobby's heart.

"Go ask him yourself if it's okay."

"Hmph, I knew you weren't up to any good. You either know or you don't, but you insist on making me ask him... How can I possibly ask him?"

Bobby chuckled, "Just kidding, my little sister Daiyu isn't fat at all."

As the two were talking, Harry and Ron followed the Gryffindor second-years into the Great Hall.

Harry's joy was palpable, which puzzled Bobby.

"Daiyu, if I remember correctly, shouldn't Gryffindor have Potions class this morning?"

"Yes, our house has Potions class with Hufflepuff in the afternoon, and Gryffindor and Slytherin in the morning."

"Then why is Harry so happy? When he goes to Snape's class, isn't he always looking dejected?"

Jady glanced at her: "What have you been up to lately? Harry Potter has been like a completely different person since the start of this semester. His potions, spells, and shapeshifting are incredibly powerful. I even suspect he's been possessed by Hermione Granger."

"Get lost, Hermione's not dead!"

Hermione, lying in the infirmary, her skin ashen: …………

However, Bobby and Jady had different opinions. She felt that Harry's sudden progress was definitely related to the diary.

Hehe, I'll have the house-elves keep an eye on Harry later. Basilisk, basilisk, come to my pot!

"Bobby, what are you grinning about? Stop it, you look awful!"

"Ah? I'm thinking about the basilisk's meat! It must taste absolutely delicious..."

Jady shook her head speechlessly, "Everyone else avoids that kind of monster like the plague, but you just want to have a bite. I don't know why the Ministry of Magic doesn't list you as a 5X magical creature."

"Fantastic Beasts: 5X?"

Poppy, with a steak in her mouth, looked up and said, "Have you ever seen a 5X magical creature as beautiful and cute as me?"

In response, she received a glare that was uniquely Daiyu-esque, full of charm and sullenness.

"You actually think you're comparing yourself to magical creatures?"

……

Jady had dinner with Bobby and then went back to the Ravenclaw lounge on her own.

Matilda finished her "handmaid" duties and went back to prepare for her afternoon lessons.

Poppy patted her stomach. Ever since she completed the second Animagus, her appetite had increased dramatically. Now she was eating as much as a fire dragon.

"Tanholm!"

The house-elf Tanholm suddenly appeared in front of Poppy.
