Chapter 178 Panic

[Add one more chapter with five-star praise, thank you readers for your great support??(???????)??]

Harry knew very well that what he had just experienced was by no means accidental. He could almost conclude: "This must have been sent by Voldemort!" Thinking of this, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry and uneasiness.

Not long after, Harry Potter forced himself to cheer up, supported Dudley, who was still in a daze, and walked home with difficulty.

When they finally arrived home, Vernon, who had been waiting at home, was shocked when he saw his son's listless and distraught appearance, and his face was instantly filled with panic.

"My dear son, what's wrong with you?" Vernon's voice trembled, and his words were filled with endless worry.

However, Dudley seemed to have not heard his father's question at all. He was still in a trance. He opened and closed his mouth, and kept muttering to himself: "Harry Potter, Harry Potter..."

Hearing his son constantly repeating Harry Potter's name, Vernon's face became even more gloomy. He glared at Harry Potter with his eyes wide open, and shouted angrily:

"I knew it was you, Harry Potter! How dare you use magic to hurt my darling baby! Get out of this house right now. From now on, you will no longer have a place to stand here!" As the words fell, the anger that had been suppressed in Vernon's heart for a long time erupted like a volcano.

Petunia, who had been hugging Dudley, also had sparks of anger in her eyes at this moment, but she did not refute her husband's words, but just silently hugged her son in her arms.

"That's not the case, aunt and uncle. Calm down and listen to me! It's really not what you imagined! My cousin Dudley and I were in the park when suddenly two terrible Dementors appeared and pounced on us.

Their eerie appearance is simply creepy, and they make such a terrifying sound. I can guarantee that Voldemort definitely ordered them to do this!" Harry explained anxiously, hoping that his uncle and aunt would believe what he said.

However, when Petunia heard the name "Voldemort", her face turned pale in an instant, as if her heart was hit by an invisible force.

Her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes revealed an undisguised fear. Vernon stared at Harry Potter with wide eyes, also with a little fear, and the anger in his heart had disappeared without a trace.

"He... he's back?" Penny's voice trembled violently, her hands unconsciously clutching the corners of her clothes, and the uncontrollable fear surged into her heart like a tide.

Apparently, Petunia still remembers that night more than a decade ago, a night that completely changed her family, when she opened the door and saw Harry Potter lying quietly in his cradle, with a letter from Dumbledore next to him.

It was also from that moment that she learned that her sister, whom she had not contacted for many years, had died tragically at the hands of a demon named Voldemort.

During that time, even the Muggle world was often in turmoil, whether it was the collapse of a bridge or a sudden raging fire, or Muggles disappearing and their bodies being found every day!

Although others may not know that these turmoil are related to wizards, Penny knows the reason very well. Those so-called natural disasters and the murderous demons that appeared are just excuses to cover up the truth.

But Penny knew clearly in her heart that when she was 11 years old, her blood-related and inseparable sister, Lily, showed amazing magical talent.

On that seemingly ordinary day, Dumbledore personally came to their home, lit up the entire room with magical spells, and took the happy Lily to the mysterious wizarding world to buy the necessary items for school admission.

At that time, Petunia was full of longing and expectation. She also wrote a sincere letter to Dumbledore, expressing her strong desire to study in the magic academy.

However, the ruthless reality was like a basin of ice water, which cooled her burning heart. Her application was rejected without any room for maneuver.

Even though Lily often came home later and happily told her about her wonderful experiences in the magic academy, such as how there was an administrator who had no magic skills at all but was able to live safely in Hogwarts;

For example, there were those dazzling magic courses and interesting campus activities. But for Penny, all of these only added to her pain and loss, because no matter what, she could never step into that dreamy magic world.

As time went by, the sisters' lives drifted apart, as if they were in two completely different worlds. Petunia's jealousy grew and eventually turned into deep resentment. This resentment strained their relationship until they broke off completely and stopped communicating with each other.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. Suddenly one day, a letter broke Penny's peaceful life. The news in the letter was like a thunder, exploding in her heart:

Lily was brutally murdered by the terrifying Voldemort, and although Voldemort himself also died, the letter stated that he would be resurrected one day!

Now, this terrible prophecy has come true, Voldemort has really resurrected! The fear that permeated the air was as heavy and oppressive as it was more than a decade ago, making everyone panic.

At this moment, an owl with mottled fur and sharp eyes swooped down from the night sky like a black lightning. With the flapping of its wings, a letter was thrown down accurately and landed at the feet of Harry Potter.

Harry Potter stared at the mysterious letter with suspicion, thinking to himself: Nowadays, all kinds of information are usually transmitted through the Internet, so how could a formal letter appear?

Just as Harry Potter was puzzled, the letter floated up by itself, and then a sharp and majestic voice came out from the envelope: "Mr. Harry Potter, since you have violated the regulations of the Ministry of Magic that 'it is forbidden to perform magic in front of Muggles',

It won’t be long before representatives from the Ministry of Magic arrive at your residence and destroy the wand in your hand according to the law! Not only that, you will also need to follow them to the Ministry of Magic and attend a hearing held by the Wizengamot Law Enforcement Department…” Before he finished speaking, the envelope instantly turned to ashes in a dazzling flame.
