Chapter 390
Coming out of the basement, he encounters an unexpected guest.
Dudley.
…
Chapter 413 Visiting Dursley
Dudley had lost a lot of weight.
At least the tonnage of that young whale turned into muscle.
On the contrary, because of this, Dudley became a little more handsome.
I heard that I also met a girlfriend in school.
John can only say that these people have no concept of puppy love at all.
Dudley took the initiative to visit the Wick family, which was the first time such a thing had happened.
The last time I came here was because Dudley had eaten a Fat Tongue Toffee, and John helped him solve the problem of suffocation.
Mrs. Wick let people in. Dudley was very reserved and didn't look like a school bully at all.
This is also the case in the Wick family. In school, Dudley relied on his boxing skills to become a school bully.
Seeing John coming out, Dudley stood up subconsciously.
It's like seeing a leader.
John asked him to sit down and asked doubtfully: "Are you looking for me?"
Dudley hesitated, but finally made up his mind and asked, "My mother said, the murderer came out?"
"murderer?"
"V-Voldemort." Dudley thought for a while before remembering the name.
It seemed that he also heard some information from Harry's group of people.
John motioned for him to continue, and Dudley said, "That man would kill someone like me, wouldn't he?"
"Harry's parents were killed by him."
Dudley was very scared and said, "They won't show mercy to us either."
"Mom didn't say it, but she was very scared," Dudley hesitated and said through gritted teeth, "Can I ask you to protect us?"
Seeing John pondering, he quickly said: "It's okay to ask for money, we should be able to afford it."
He tries to impress John with money.
Dudley didn't think Harry could protect them, and although it had softened, it was still no better.
Those dangerous guys can also turn people into pig tails. The only people Dudley can trust are his neighbors, the Wick family.
As for other people, he doesn't like them at all.
John thought for a moment and said, "I need to go to school, so I can't protect you all the time."
Dudley looked disappointed.
"But I have another way."
After a sudden turn of events, John walked to the basement and took out three things.
A puppy sculpture, a Watson's Wizard's chess soldier, and a wooden shield.
"Put these three things at home. If someone invades, they will protect you."
John handed the stuff to Dudley.
These three things are not ordinary. The puppy sculpture and the soldier have cast transformation and enlargement spells, which are more than enough to deal with ordinary wizards.
The wooden shield is added with an iron armor spell and a banishment spell, which can instantly deploy a barrier to repel outsiders.
Anyone who is not invited to enter will be regarded as an outsider by default.
Originally a new product for the home, it could deter intruders and repel unwanted guests.
John hasn't released it yet, but it can be used by the Dursleys first.
Dudley was extremely happy and thanked him repeatedly.
"Dudley," John stopped Dudley before he left and said seriously, "you have grown up and learned to protect your family."
Dudley was startled, and the sudden recognition made him a little confused.
Walking back to the Dursleys' house, he was still dazed.
Petunia Dursley found her son unconscious and thought he was being bullied at school.
She came up and asked with concern: "Dada, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, Mom." Dudley glanced at the family photo placed on the table.
This was taken when he won the boxing championship this year. The three members of his family were all smiling brightly.
Especially Vernon Dursley, who was very proud to shout in the audience that day, that is my son.
"Mom." He suddenly asked, "Do you think I am a good boy?"
"Of course," Petunia smiled kindly, "You will always be my good son."
Dudley suddenly felt that he should be more sensible and not hang out with gangsters at school.
He went upstairs and looked at the room at the end.
That's Harry's room.
And Harry was like an ant on a hot pot, waiting at the window not knowing what to do.
Dudley suddenly became mature, and even Vernon, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong with him?" Vernon moved his eyes to the things on the table and asked in confusion, "He joined the drama club?"
Vernon picked up the wooden shield with interest.
…
Wait until evening.
After dinner, the Dursleys saw Harry hurrying upstairs.
They now basically regard Harry as a transparent person, after all, he has been like this for so many years.
"Son, you did this?"
Vernon picked up a sculpture of a puppy and was about to praise Dudley for his dexterity.
"I got this from the Wicks," Dudley said, swallowing the chicken breast. "It's something to protect us."
"What?" Vernon's hand shook and he opened his eyes wide and said, "You mean this thing was given to you by that Wick boy?"
Petunia also put down the bowl she was cleaning and came over, and the three of them were studying it.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Upstairs Harry had been looking forward to it.
Dumbledore wrote to him three days ago and would come to pick him up at eleven o'clock tonight to take him to the Burrow.
Harry had been sitting by his bedroom window since seven o'clock, with a clear view of the two intersections of Privet Drive.
He glanced at it every few minutes, and he even knew the letter by heart.
Despite what happened at the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore still chose to believe in the prophecy.
And Harry also learned the complete version of that prophecy from Dumbledore.
"The man who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord approaches, born to the man who has thrice resisted him, born at the end of July.
The Dark Lord will mark him as his nemesis, but he will have powers unknown to the Dark Lord.
One of them will die at the hand of the other, for both cannot live but one.
The one who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord will be born at the end of July. "
Dumbledore told him that there were two boys born at the end of July, one of whom was Neville Longbottom.
But the point is not who, but who Voldemort chose.
Voldemort chose Harry Potter, then Harry would become the savior.
Regarding the Horcruxes, Dumbledore was not sure.
John claims that he is stronger than everyone else when it comes to soul matters, but Dumbledore has always been synonymous with invincibility in Harry's mind.
The waiting made Harry a little anxious. He began to fear that his owl had not delivered the reply to Dumbledore, or that this was a prank and that Dumbledore might be delayed by other things...
Time passed minute by minute until the minute hand on the alarm clock pointed to 12.
Almost at the same time, the street light outside the window suddenly went out.
The sudden darkness woke Harry up like an alarm clock.
He pressed his nose against the window and squinted at the sidewalk below.
A tall figure wearing a long cloak was walking along the garden path.
When passing a house, the figure paused.
Harry jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, and his chair was accidentally knocked over.
He stuffed all the luggage he could use into the box.
However, his movements were still slow, and the doorbell rang from below.
Uncle Vernon's voice sounded confused, "What the hell, who's calling the door so late?"
Harry froze, completely forgetting to tell the Dursleys about Dumbledore's arrival.
He hurriedly climbed over the suitcase, opened the bedroom door and ran out.
Just then the door opened.
A low voice sounded, "Good evening, I assume you are Mr. Dursley? I believe Harry must have told you that I would come to pick him up, right?"
Vernon looked stiffly at the people outside.
His silver-white hair and beard hang down to his waist, and he wears a pair of half-moon glasses on his hooked nose.
A black traveling cloak and a pointed hat.
Needless to say, Vernon's surprised expression also let Dumbledore know that Harry hadn't said that.
"Judging from your expression of surprise and disbelief, Harry didn't tell you I was coming."
Dumbledore said cordially, "However, let us assume that you have warmly invited me into your home. In these turbulent times, it would be unwise to linger too long at the door."
With that, Dumbledore was about to cross the threshold.
At this moment, the wooden shield that had been placed in the house during the day burst out with a dazzling light.
Evil guests come to your door.
Expelled!
…
John just came back today and went to invite the Weasley twins. Only now did he have time to go up to his attic.
Basil flapped its wings and flew to its exclusive wardrobe, and John saw letters being stuffed into the cracks in the window.
Opening the window, he took the letters in.
Just as he was about to close the window, he saw the Dursley's house blooming with white light.
"?" He fell into thought.
I picked up the item in the afternoon and then it was triggered in the evening?
Could it be that Harry suddenly wanted to kill the Dursleys?
