Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Aunt Maggie was also very rude to Aunt Penny. Bai Lin was very curious how Aunt Penny could tolerate her sister-in-law for so many years and always treat her like an honored guest. Penny hated animals, but she could tolerate Maggie bringing her dog to the table to eat together. If it weren't for Uncle Vernon's beaming smile as he waved a check at Penny from behind, Bai Lin would have suspected that Penny was under Maggie's spell.

Predictably, Vernon spent the entire journey complaining to his wealthy sister, who lived in the countryside. He lamented how hard he worked, raising his son and caring for Petunia's deceased sister's orphans, and how Dudley had recently lost a lot of weight. He successfully obtained a hefty check from the childless Maggie, while Harry once again earned Aunt Maggie's hatred.

Soon it was lunchtime, and Aunt Petunia brought out all the delicious dishes she could prepare. Vernon also opened a bottle of fine wine, but Maggie steered the conversation back to Harry.

"They use whips in St. Bruce, kid... Some people deserve to be beaten... Penny, if I were you, I'd write them a letter saying you approve of absolute violence against this brat!"

Harry lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and endured it.

"Vernon, please don't blame yourself for how this puppy turned out. If something is fundamentally wrong, no one can fix it... If the mother dog has a problem, the puppies will definitely suffer too..."

Although Harry gritted his teeth, his anger still unleashed a burst of magic. Bai Lin, who was filming outside the window, couldn't let Maggie's glass explode, so he quickly cast a "Cure" spell, and Maggie's glass wobbled but stabilized.

After a few rounds of drinks, Aunt Maggie asked loudly, "What's that guy named Potter doing again?"

Vernon said, "He doesn't have a job... he's unemployed."

Aunt Maggie suddenly burst into triumphant laughter: "I knew it! He was a good-for-nothing, a lazy bum, a liar. I bet he was drunk when he crashed his car!"

"He's not!" Harry was trembling with rage; he'd never been this angry before. "They didn't die in a car accident!"

Aunt Maggie shrieked, pointing at Harry, "Their heads must have been smashed when they were hit, you lying little rascal! They abandoned you to be a burden to these respectable, hardworking relatives, you rude, ungrateful brat!"

Harry's anger surged, but just then, there was a knock on the door and a young male voice: "Excuse my intrusion, I am a teacher at Mr. Potter's school, here for a home visit." Hearing this voice, Harry instantly sobered up, but then a deep fear followed.

Vernon was also terrified and quickly asked Penny to take Maggie back to her room to rest. However, the frail Penny was no match for Aunt Maggie, who was a whole head taller than her. Moreover, Aunt Maggie did not intend to back down. Instead, she stood up aggressively, strode to the door, and opened it.

Bai Lin, dressed in an elegant summer suit, with a gold pocket watch pinned to his chest and a pair of brand-new, gleaming leather shoes, stood in front of the door, looking every bit the upper-class man.

Aunt Maggie had excellent taste; the clothes worn by this man of some Eastern descent alone cost hundreds of pounds, making him someone she couldn't easily bully.

Bai Lin glanced at the people in the room, then pulled out a camera from behind his back and smiled, "Actually, I've been here for a while, and I think I filmed my student being abused at home by his guardian. If you don't want me to be sent to a federal judge, you'd better invite me in, have a LONGO, and have a good talk."

Vernon and Penny were stunned. Aunt Maggie was the first to react. She screamed and reached for the camera in Bai Lin's hand, trying to snatch it and smash it.

"Upside down! Silently!" Bai Lin didn't tolerate this ugly woman. He directly gagged her, hung her upside down from the ceiling, and walked in with an air of nonchalance, closing the door behind him.

Dudley was terrified. He screamed and fell off his chair, rolling towards Bai Lin like a ball of flesh. Bai Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Muggle shield!"

Suddenly, Dali was pushed aside and wedged into the gap under the coffee table, with only his head sticking out. Just as he was about to scream, he was hit by Bai Lin's silent spell.

"Very good, now it's quiet." Bai Lin walked to their dining table, where Harry was staring at him with wide eyes. He hadn't expected this young wizard to use magic so casually in a Muggle's home. What shocked him even more was that he was casting spells in a language he had never heard before, with shorter incantations and a casting speed more than twice as fast.

Bai Lin winked at Harry and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Karin White, a new teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and also an employee of the Ministry of Magic. This is my identification."

Bai Lin gracefully produced two documents: an assistant professor's work ID signed by Dumbledore and a Ministry of Magic work ID.

"Given that my students are being subjected to violence by Muggles, accompanied by insults and curses, I believe my Uncle Fudge won't blame me for giving a small punishment to a few insignificant Muggles. You two had better not move, or I'll turn your whole family into toads and send them to the reptile house at the zoo."

Vernon and Penny were terrified, sitting obediently without daring to move. On one hand, there was the threat of the federal court, and on the other hand, there was the hellish scene of being turned into a toad and thrown into the reptile house. Even Vernon, who was used to cursing, kept his mouth shut, not daring to provoke the young man in front of him.

Harry stood up happily and said, "You must be Professor Kaelin! Welcome to my home!"

Bai Lin nodded to Harry, glanced at the wine on the table, and saw that it was a bottle of imported French Martell. Without any hesitation, he poured himself half a glass, shook it in his hand, and waved his wand. All the dishes and clutter on the table disappeared, followed by the sound of a pile of plates falling to the ground and shattering in the kitchen.

Looking at the clean table, Bai Lin took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Uncle Vernon. Vernon saw that it was a statement agreeing that from now on, Harry Potter could choose to go anywhere he wanted during holidays.

Harry's eyes lit up; he desperately wanted to spend the entire summer at Ron's house, a family full of kind hearts, joy, and brotherly love.

Vernon uttered a sound from the corner of his mouth: "I won't sign. I won't let you succeed!"

Bai Lin chuckled and said, "Ha, I know. Harry's mother left behind a large sum of money. As long as you raise and care for Harry, you'll receive three hundred pounds every month, and you'll receive a generous reward when Harry comes of age. But do you think you can still be Harry's guardian if I hand this videotape over to the federal judge?"

As he spoke, Bai Lin pulled a videotape from the camera and inserted it into the projector next to the television—a common household item in 90s Britain. Then, the television showed Vernon kicking Harry hard, forcing him to say that he attended a juvenile delinquency school, and shoving him until he stumbled. This was followed by Aunt Maggie and Vernon's half-hour-long smear campaign against Harry's parents.

Watching the video, Vernon and Petunia's faces alternated between pale and ashen. Bai Lin said, "If I were to file charges, the county prosecutor might impose a fine of over ten thousand pounds, or even three years in prison! And there should be many kind people in London willing to adopt Harry; after all, he'll be an adult in five years, and he spends most of his time at Hogwarts. The choice is yours!"

Vernon was quite straightforward, signing his name readily. Feeling it wasn't enough, he had Penny sign it as well, and then added his fingerprint.

"And the Hogsmeade permit!" Harry exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Lin put away the statement and said, "No need, someone will sign it for you. Go pack your things, kid!"
