HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

"Jade, I'm afraid I can't approve your application to drop out." Dumbledore looked serious, his sharp eyes staring straight at Jian Yu through the lenses.

Jian Yu's heart sank immediately.

"Although according to the regulations, it is not mandatory for young wizards to go to school, and their parents have the right to let their children study at home or study abroad." Dumbledore continued, "But I don't think the orphanage can provide you with such conditions."

But Jian Yu did not give up his plan:

"What if I give up learning magic?"

Dumbledore's expression became even more serious, and even the wrinkles on his face were tightened. He warned:

"You have to remember that magic is a talent. Magic exists in you and will not disappear just because you give up learning magic. Without proper guidance, it may get out of control."

"You should have heard of it, or perhaps you are aware of it yourself, the magical talent displayed by wizards in their childhood - the magical riots that occur in emergencies, causing objects to float and glass to break. This is a manifestation of the young wizards' inability to control their magic well, so after the age of 11, they must receive systematic training."

"It would be terrible if Muggle-born wizards were not able to go to school and were allowed to grow up naturally. Their careless use of magic and their differences from ordinary people might cause trouble for themselves and the wizarding world. The Ministry of Magic does not want such challenges to the Statute of Secrecy to occur frequently, so it is important to ensure that children can go to school."

Jian Yu frowned. After two years of schooling, she felt that she could control the magic power in her body and it had never been out of control. She felt that she was in great shape and she enjoyed everything she ate.

But Dumbledore shook his head.

"No, your situation is different from theirs."

"Although as they grow older, at least before they reach adulthood, the magic power of young wizards will gradually increase - but the speed of growth is different."

"Your magic power has increased terribly in the past two years. I am worried that this might cause problems. Child, cast a water purification spell for me. Here, aim it at this place."

He conjured up a large water jar and motioned Jian Yu to pour water into it.

“Aguamenti (clear water like a spring)!”

As the spell was cast, a large column of water spurted out from her wand. The moment it touched the wall of the water tank, the impact force caused the entire water tank to explode, and half of the principal's office was almost flooded - fortunately, Dumbledore's Stop Instant Spell prevented this from happening in time.

"Look, look, that's it." Dumbledore said half in admiration and half in worry, "Close to adult magic - a 12-year-old wizard's magic reserve can't do this. You must learn to control and guide the release of your magic."

Jian Yu immediately understood the reason.

In first year, Merlin strengthened her soul;

In the second grade, the magic power that the diary voluntarily sent to me;

Powerful soul + magic power x2 = excessive growth of magic power!

She was filled with remorse, and had never expected that her momentary miscalculation, what she thought was a cheat for time travelers, would actually become a stumbling block on her road to dropping out of school!

Dumbledore continued to talk:

"For these reasons, I don't think an orphanage would be a good place for you - have you ever heard of the Obscurus?"

Jian Yu nodded. She had seen this kind of dark parasitic magical power in books.

When a wizarding child is forced to suppress their magic due to physical or psychological abuse, they experience extreme emotional distress, creating an Obscurus.

Dumbledore smiled sadly:

"My sister—never mind."

"The Obscurus forms in very specific circumstances: trauma related to magic use, a personal hatred of one's own magic, and a conscious attempt to suppress it."

Immediately afterwards, Jian Yu heard a secret about the original owner, which she had never expected.

"Jade, when I first saw you in the orphanage, I was very worried about your situation. You were suppressing your power." He said in a sad tone, "I don't understand why there are still such people in 1991 - your dean was extremely reluctant to accept magic, so I had to use some tricks to take you away."

"Fortunately, you accepted all this after entering school," Dumbledore continued. "I hope you will not let these efforts go to waste."

Jian Yu was stunned.

Since she was transported here during the Sorting Ceremony, she knew nothing about what happened to the original owner, except that she also came from an orphanage.

The original owner's psychological trauma from using magic, coupled with the fact that he wanted to give up magic and return to the Muggle world...

Dumbledore was worried that she would become an Obscurus outside of school and bring harm to the world!

No wonder he has been unwilling to let go from the first grade to now. No matter what he does, he is stuck in the school!

"I promise I won't become Mo Mo Ran." Jian Yu said anxiously, "I have no psychological trauma, I just don't want to stay here any longer!"

Dumbledore looked at this stubborn child, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt very tired.

Education is indeed the most difficult thing in the world, he thought, twirling his beard.

No soft or hard words will do, no coaxing will do...

In this case, he could only take some coercive measures.

"I'm sorry, but I can't approve your application to drop out of school." Dumbledore made the final decision, "Because it won't be signed by a guardian, and you are a minor and cannot make your own decisions for the time being."

"I can go find the director of the orphanage—" Jian Yu retorted.

"No, I'm afraid you can't find it." Dumbledore continued, "A month ago, your orphanage closed down due to financial problems. Your guardianship was automatically transferred and taken over by the wizarding world until you reach the age of 17."

A bad premonition was dripping in Jian Yu's mind.

She always felt that something big was about to happen.

She opened her mouth and uttered with difficulty from her throat:

"And my guardianship, where did it go? I mean, my guardian—"

But Dumbledore opened the drawer, took out two copies of the document, placed one in front of her, and said in a brisk voice:

"Here I am."
