Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Bai Lin, who had spent the entire weekend working hard in the clothing store, was unable to watch the Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin match live. However, Harry and Black still came to report the situation to Bai Lin on Sunday evening. Cho Chang, who came to return the broom, also accompanied them. Seeing Cho Chang and Harry's happy faces, Bai Lin had already guessed the result: Malfoy must have been thoroughly humiliated.

Harry and Cho Chang chatted back and forth about today's match, and then they started talking about the Quidditch World Cup that will be held next year. However, Harry supported the England and Ireland teams, while Cho Chang supported the Asian teams more. As they talked, they got annoyed with each other.

Looking at Harry's argumentative demeanor, Bai Lin thought to himself: Is this the symptom of terminal male chauvinism? With your attitude, how could you possibly win over a girl? But considering that Harry has always had his official love interest, Ginny, who has always liked him (although she has dated other boys at Hermione's suggestion, she has always liked Harry), Bai Lin decided to ignore him.

After successfully manipulating six pairs of scissors to cut out the components of a pair of leather boots from thick cowhide, Black finally had a moment to chat with them and said, "I'm leaving Hogwarts."

Bai Lin was taken aback. He quite liked Black as an ally; he was strong, brave, and decisive—a reliable teammate. Bai Lin asked, "Has the Ministry of Magic put pressure on Dumbledore again?"

Black shook his head and said, "Although I cherish the time I spend with Harry, I can't, and Harry doesn't need me to be his babysitter. No student in the whole school brings their father to school, right?"

Bai Lin nodded, thinking that this guy still had a large estate and millions in assets waiting for him to inherit, and he didn't feel sorry for him at all. Bai Lin said, "Then I'll wish you health and happiness. If there's any danger, or if you encounter any difficult tasks you're unsure about, don't forget to send me a message. You know I'm pretty good at fighting, hehe~"

Bai Lin knew that Black had joined the Order of the Phoenix. This time, he was leaving to establish the Order's headquarters at the Black family's old mansion, 12 Grimmauld Place. This old mansion was protected by extremely strong magic and was a stronghold even more fortified than Hogwarts Castle.

"I will!" Blake nodded solemnly to Bai Lin. The two comrades shook hands. This was their first handshake, which represented Blake's recognition of Bai Lin. The two were no longer just allies or comrades-in-arms, but friends from this day forward.

Black left, but left Harry with a consent form allowing him to visit Hogsmeade during the holidays, and also gave Ron a small brown owl to make up for his lost pet Scabbers, which made Ron overjoyed.

Because Christmas was approaching, Dumbledore readily approved Bai Lin's leave. So on Wednesday, December 22nd, Bai Lin took the Hogwarts Express to London. There were many students on the train going home for Christmas. Bai Lin was the most popular among the many teachers at the school. The children talked about how he used the magical chocolate frog and chewing gum slug to deal with the dark wizard.

The children, however, had no idea of ​​the bitterness in Bai Lin's heart. He really didn't know much black magic, or rather, there weren't many offensive black magic spells in the original story and the movie. In the end, he didn't even explain what kind of magic it was; he just had magic bullets flying around.

Because Harry Potter is ultimately a children's book, it's impossible for the protagonists to use powerful dark magic, as such magic often implies cruelty and killing. They can only use magic other than dark magic through various coincidences and schemes to defeat evil forces and highlight the story's central theme.

While chatting with the students and enjoying snacks on the train, I pondered the intentions of the Explorers Family and the Presbyterian Council. Time flew by, and before I knew it, we arrived at King's Cross Station in London.

Bai Lin didn't bother with formalities. To ensure he didn't lack presence, Catherine prepared a complete set of formal attire for him, from a shirt and vest to a suit jacket, with a fur-trimmed overcoat. The workmanship was quite exquisite, making Bai Lin appear both noble and somewhat refined and aloof.

Bai Lin put on his coat, jumped off the train, and looked around at the bustling crowd at the station. He had never seen Phineas, the man who had written to him, and had always pictured him as a young wizard. But after looking around the station, he still couldn't find him.

"Excuse me, are you young master Kailin?" a voice came from beside Bai Lin's legs.

Bai Lin looked down and saw a house-elf, only about 80 centimeters tall, staring at him with eyes the size of a tennis ball. Bai Lin had seen house-elves working in the Hogwarts kitchen before; they all looked similar—large, bat-like ears, thin and bony, with big eyes, a pointed nose, a wrinkled face, and ragged clothes. But this house-elf was quite different from them.

Although he was very thin, he was not skin and bones. He wore a slightly old but clean small shirt and Oxford cloth trousers, and even a gold-rimmed monocle.

Bai Lin nodded and said, "Yes, I am. You must be Phineas?"

The house-elf immediately smiled obsequiously, clasped his hands together in delight, and said, "Your butler, Phineas, greets you, my handsome master, Young Master Kaelin."

Bai Lin was genuinely surprised that the person who wrote to him was a house-elf, and upon hearing this, he realized that the elf was also his butler.

"Seriously, I'm just a working-class guy at Hogwarts, and I haven't even bought a house in a good school district in London. Do I need a butler?" Bai Lin thought to himself.

"Please come with me, I'll take you to your place in London," Finnis said with a smile.

Although Bai Lin was a little apprehensive about the Elders' Council, he still pretended to be an old man with money, nodded elegantly to Finnis, and followed him out of the station. There was already a Jaguar vintage car with a really ugly design waiting for them there.

Once seated in the car, Finnis launched into a long-winded introduction to Bai Lin: "Finnis has taken the liberty of checking, but Young Master Kailin, you were born in the East~" Bai Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes. Aren't my looks obvious enough?

"The Elders have specially arranged for you to stay at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London. We hope you enjoy your stay..." Phineas said, "Every young wizard from a Seeker's family can participate in the family's gatherings upon reaching adulthood, regardless of whether you are in Europe, Asia, or Africa. The Elders will also assign a house-elf as a butler to each young master or young lady. Phineas has been assigned to Young Master Kaelin, and from now on, he will be your servant. You are Phineas's only master, so please do not hesitate to give your orders~"

Bai Lin glanced at Finnis's expression, which was one of utmost piety, and thought to himself that he had indeed been thoroughly brainwashed.
