Harry nodded in agreement, Dudley was raised as a pig, and he should be glad he didn't get the same treatment......

Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were annoyed by Dumbledore's words, apparently unaware of the problem.

Their baby Dudley is no different from a pig now, the only thing missing is a tail.

Or have realized it, but haven't raised it to the level of abuse.

If even this is not abuse, then there is no more terrible abuse!

"I'm disappointed in your treatment of Harry...... Dumbledore said, the cold filling the air around him, "just as Sirius told you when he came to visit." ”

Uncle Vernon's mouth was wide open, but nothing was said until the end.

"I don't want to talk too much about the past, but the magic I cast fifteen years ago means that Harry will be protected while he can still call this place home. No matter how miserable, how unpopular, how mistreated he is here, you at least reluctantly give him a place to stay. Dumbledore continued, "When Harry turns seventeen, that is, when he becomes a man, the spell will be invalid and he will leave here. So, I just ask for one thing: you allow Harry to return to this home again before his seventeenth birthday, and that will ensure that that protective power will last until then. ”

No one in the Dursleys was silent, they were silently pondering Dumbledore's words.

Dudley frowned slightly, as if he was still wondering what kind of abuse he had received.

Uncle Vernon looked like he had something stuck in his throat, but Aunt Petunia blushed inexplicably.

Harry had heard his uncle and aunt muttering that Sirius would be happy to come back during the summer if he was willing to pay a large sum of gold a year to cover his expenses here......

But he doesn't want to stay here anymore, as long as he lasts for a year next year, he can get rid of this home completely.

As if thinking he had made it clear, Dumbledore got up from the couch.

"Alright, Harry, it's time for us to go. He finally said, "Have you put your things in order?"

"It's already packed!" Harry said hurriedly.

He immediately rushed back upstairs and removed the box that had been packed four days earlier along with Hedwig's cage.

Dumbledore was waiting for him in the foyer, looking at the pots of plants in a leisurely manner.

The Dursleys huddled in the doorway of the living room, the air heavier than the frozen custard.

"Well, then we'll take our leave, see you next time!" Dumbledore said to the Dursleys, putting on his hat.

Aunt Vernon snorted, and judging by their expressions, they wished they had never seen each other again.

"Goodbye!"

Harry hurriedly said goodbye to the Dursleys and made his way to Dumbledore's side.

"Professor, where are we going now?"

"Go pick up Evan and Hermione. Dumbledore said, looking at Harry's salute and Hedwig, and drew his wand, "You can't get in the way with them now, I'll send them over first, and let them wait for us there." I want you to bring the invisibility cloak with you, Harry, you know, just in case. ”

It took some effort for Harry to pull the cloak out of the box, he put the cloak at the bottom of the box, because of the things Sirius gave him before the summer vacation, he had to salute a lot more this year than in previous years, Sirius bought him a lot of food, magic items, and a lot of things that a normal boy should have and shouldn't have, Harry didn't want Dumbledore to see the mess inside his box.

As soon as he slipped the Cloak of Invisibility into the pocket of his jacket, Dumbledore flicked his wand, and the chest, cage, and Hedwig vanished in an instant.

Then, with another wave of his wand, the door opened into the cold, misty night.

The streets were dark, with only faint starlight.

"Alright, Harry, let's go into the night and go after that frivolous and seductive enchantress and take an adventure. ”

Dumbledore's statement exhilarated Harry, who was finally able to go out on an adventure with the Headmaster.

In the old days, whenever he was awake, he was eagerly waiting for Dumbledore to come and pick him up.

However, when the two set off together and walked on the privet road, he felt very awkward.

Previously, he had barely spoken to the Headmaster outside of Hogwarts.

Usually, they are separated by a table.

Evan had followed Dumbledore on other adventures like this, and in the last year, even Hermione and Elaine had joined them, but Harry had never done so, and each time, Dumbledore refused his request to join him.

Harry had dreamed countless times that he could come out with the Headmaster, and now he finally had his chance!

But he wasn't sure what to do, and Dumbledore seemed very easy-going.

"Get your wand ready, Harry. He said in a brisk tone.

"But I can't use magic outside of school, do I, sir?"

"In the event of an attack. Dumbledore said, "I allow you to use any magic and spell you can think of to fight back, but I don't think you need to worry about being attacked tonight." ”

"Why?"

"Because you're with me," Dumbledore said simply, "it's all right, Harry. ”

His tone was unmistakably confident, and he stopped abruptly at the intersection of Privet Road.

"By the way, you haven't passed the apparition exam yet, have you?" he asked.

"No, it seems that you have to be at least seventeen years old, I checked the information. Harry replied, remembering that Evan was already apparitional, and he added, "Well, that's ...... under normal circumstances."

"Yes, that's normally the case. Dumbledore said, "Then you'll need to grab my arm." ”

Harry grabbed Dumbledore's outstretched forearm and noticed that he had a ring on his hand.

He'd never seen him wear it before, and there was a complex dark green rune on the back of his hand.

One end of the ornament is attached to the ring, and the other end extends to the arm above......

"What's the pattern on the back of your hand?"

"An accident," Dumbledore said simply, covering the back of his hand with his sleeve, "let's go, it's late, don't keep Evan and Hermione waiting." ”

The next second, Harry felt as if Dumbledore's arm was about to break free from his grasp, so he quickly grabbed it firmer, and then he noticed that it was pitch black all around.

He was squeezed hard from all directions, and he couldn't breathe at all.

His chest seemed to be tightly strangled by several iron hoops, his eyeballs were squeezed back into his head, his eardrums were pressed deep into his skull, and he ......

He gulped in the cold night air and opened his teary eyes.

Harry felt as if he had just squeezed out of a very narrow rubber tube, and it took him a few seconds to come to his senses and realize that the privet road had disappeared, and Hermione was running towards him in front of Evan and the others.
