Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Harry looked at Dudley with his fat head and big ears, and it was hard to imagine that if his child was a wizard, it must look more like Draco's follower, Crabbe...
Penny's complexion changed many times, and she muttered something in a low voice.
Dudley, who was hiding behind them, visibly trembled, but soon his attention was attracted by the snacks in his hand.
Vernon growled and said in a low voice:
"That's impossible, I will never allow my descendants to be entangled with you...never..."
Douglas shrugged and explained:
"It's not a question of whether you want to, but if an awakened wizard doesn't get an effective education, or turns into a terrifying monster, it will be a huge danger not only to the world of ordinary people, but even to the magic world.
Mr. Dursley, you don't want your descendants to be burned on the stake either..."
Vernon imagined that scene, and immediately shivered, and then said stiffly:
"Impossible, they have abolished burning...
What are you trying to do with all this? "
Douglas laughed and said:
"Of course it is to ease our relationship, and also to strive for a suitable learning and living environment for Harry...
Of course, I also know what you don’t like, so in the future, Harry can go to my house to do homework during the day, come back to live at night, and never use some things you don’t like in your house, and all his things related to that world can be moved. my home......
If one day, a new wizard appears in your family, I will be very happy for you to come to me for consultation..."
Hearing what Douglas said, Vernon and Petunia were a little moved. They didn't care about what would happen if wizards appeared in their family. They thought that such a thin Harry could survive in that world, and their children and grandchildren would definitely be fine.
But the fact that Harry did not use magic at their house really moved them. As long as Harry was at home, they would always pay attention to Harry's every move with trepidation, for fear that something uncontrollable would happen again, which would disturb their family. Become the object of discussion in the mouth of the neighbors.
Harry stood aside, full of entanglements in his heart. Of course he was happy that the professor was his cousin.
But why didn't he do the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework first...
"professor......"
Douglas looked over and winked at Harry:
"Why, you still don't believe that I'm your cousin?"
Harry shook his head quickly, with a strange expression on his face, and said:
"Cousin...I'm really happy to know this, but...can I come to you a few days later..."
Vernon squeezed an exaggerated expression on his face and said:
"Hehe, it seems that you are not as popular as you think..."
Petunia also sneered in cooperation.
Douglas got up, he had already guessed from Harry's expression why the other party was so awkward.
Who didn't come here when he was a student, because the professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts would change every year, so he never wrote those papers assigned by Defense Against the Dark Arts during the summer vacation, because no one would comment on them.
"Now go and bring all the things related to the wizarding world to my house, oh yes, and that set of test questions..."
Harry wanted to cry, but he wanted to buy himself a few days to do his homework, but it seemed impossible.
Douglas said to the Dursleys as Harry went upstairs to pack his things:
"By the way, you don't need to keep the door open for him at night. I will ask my housekeeper to send him back, so I won't cause you any trouble."
When Harry came down with the empty cage and a pile of luggage, Uncle Vernon's face was livid. He remembered locking Harry's books in the storage room under the stairs at the beginning of the summer vacation.
He cursed under his breath.
Harry walked to the door of the storage room under the stairs, pointed to the storage room and said:
"Teach... Uncle, there's more in here, I can't open it..."
Douglas looked at Vernon with a smile and gestured with his hand.
He didn't want to continue to use magic to stimulate the family that had finally settled down.
Vernon snorted coldly, and said bad things about Harry while looking for the key:
"Our family is an honest person, why did you not get infected at all, and you even lied in front of your professor? If you can't open it, then how did you get those books in your hand... ..”
Harry glanced carefully at Douglas, and was relieved to see that he was digging out something and didn't pay attention.
Douglas took out a small wooden sign from his pocket and said to Petunia:
"It's a special talisman, a gift from me to Dudley, since I'm also his cousin after all.
Don't rush to refuse, you should know that there are some monsters in this world that ordinary people can't see, they will always wander around, if one day Dudley accidentally bumps into it, this talisman can protect him.
Of course, it’s usually just a wooden plaque carved with beautiful patterns, others will only think it’s a handicraft…”
No matter how much Petunia rejected things from the wizarding world, she hesitated for a while because of the safety of her child, but she still accepted it.
And asked cautiously:
"Isn't it possible for people like you to use it?"
Douglas nodded:
"This is something I have specialized in researching. It does not require the use of magic to activate it. Of course, it is only a special damage to creatures in the magic world..."
Petunia nodded, immediately found a rope, and hung the wooden sign around Dudley's neck as a necklace, for fear that Douglas would take it back later.
In the end, Harry followed Douglas across the streets with his bundle of belongings.
Aunt Petunia stood at the door and said to some neighbors who were cutting flowers and grass in the yard:
"Oh, we found a teacher for him to supervise his studies, and we will come back to live at night..."
When the two walked two streets, Harry suddenly pointed to Douglas an old lady with gray hair who was teasing cats in the yard and introduced in a low voice:
"That's Mrs. Figg. They used to send me to this lady's house when they went out together for Dudley's birthday or other occasions. She has a lot of cats and the house smells like cabbage. I really don't like..."
Douglas suddenly remembered, isn't this the squib sent by Dumbledore to take care of Harry secretly.
When he looked at Mrs. Fig, she also looked over and smiled at him very kindly.
Harry thought the other party was smiling at him, and quickly responded with a smile.
Douglas nodded, and Mrs. Figg nodded too.
Then the two of them left without saying hello.
Penny's complexion changed many times, and she muttered something in a low voice.
Dudley, who was hiding behind them, visibly trembled, but soon his attention was attracted by the snacks in his hand.
