Many foreigners have the wishful thinking that Britain is an elegant country.

The gentlemen under the statue of the Goddess of Britain are polite, exquisite, and cultivated. They wear gloves, ties, drink tea, play bridge, and even toast is fried on one side, but they like to carry a cane.

But the real British scoff at that idea.

It's different from the French who are used to living a luxurious life.

Once stripped of the skin of the pretended "civilization", they inherited the blood of the Yangru-Saxons and Vikings, and they were drunkards, hooligans, and even more so resolute advocates of violence, villains who learned to fight before attending etiquette classes.

Like Churchill, and Colin and Gawain.

"You two, do you want to be like him?"

Gawain looked at Dudley's two henchmen, grabbing Dudley's back collar with his left hand and holding his fist against his back with his right hand.

It's a position that ensures that when Dudley struggles, he'll have plenty of room to move around and fight back.

But to Gawain's surprise, Dudley was like a puddle of mud, and he didn't dare to move at all.

"Mom..."

He muttered something, but quickly closed his mouth, and looked at his attendant pitifully with small eyes.

But Peel and Danny froze in place, their eyes rolling from side to side.

- They weren't thinking about how to get Dudley out, but how they could find a reason to escape without being retaliated against by the cautious Dudley.

"Not only cowardly, but also stupid. ”

In his heart, Gawain had a lower opinion of the Dursley boy.

Obviously, there is still a chance to resist, and there are two followers, as long as he knocks him to the ground, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Gao Wen, who is physically exhausted, to beat them.

"Gawain... Thank you, but you better let him go. His parents are somewhat... Tough. ”

Harry's eyes showed gratitude, and he forced a smile at the corners of his mouth.

Dudley looked up expectantly at Harry's words, his face turning white with fear, and bean-sized drops of sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Apologies. ”

Gawain said expressionlessly, clamping Dudley's left hand a little harder.

Dudley's face turned whiter, "Yes... I'm sorry", but under Gawain's cold eyes, he still said it.

But Gawain was not satisfied with his perfunctory approach and said, "Go and speak to Harry, be louder."

"Gawain, forget it, after all... It's my cousin. ”

Harry leaned over to Gawain and whispered.

"Okay", Gawain hesitated for a moment before reluctantly letting go of his left hand that was tugging at Dudley's collar, "For Harry's sake, get out of here." ”

Fortunately, Dalisa ran away, ignoring even the two henchmen.

"I dare say he didn't run that fast before he was born. ”

Gawain's disdainful teasing, as well as Dudley's antics, made Harry laugh out loud.

"I'm sorry, Gawain, it's my reason to cause you this... And Aunt Penny... Dudley's mother is very... I'm afraid she'll come to you when Dudley returns. ”

But Harry's smile didn't last long, and he said worriedly.

"Hmm... In that case, in return, I need you to do me a favor. ”

Gawain tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, then said with a smile.

"What? I mean, anything, if I can do it," Harry replied dryly.

"How about a dinner at my house?" Gawain smiled slyly and held out his hand to Harry, "and I need you to help me walk for a while, I'm a little out of strength." ”

He shook his head helplessly and put his arm on Harry's shoulder.

First experimented with that strange spell, and then ran after the abyss for a long time, now he only felt a little difficult to even stand firm.

It's not that he doesn't want to punch the flesh just now, but even if he hits, it will only hurt and itch.

"But this is probably a wizard's fight. ”

Walking in the direction of Harry's home, Gawain thought to himself.

Before, Gawain just put his fist on his body, causing Dudley to cry out in pain, not because he suddenly learned the "qi" of the East, but because it was actually a repair spell.

To be precise, a failed repair spell.

Someone once said that "failure is the mother of success".

But he undoubtedly has a devastating bias in his perception of social ethics

- Because not only can you fail with an aunt, a stepmother, or just a biological mother, but success can also be a fool, a madman, or a child who doesn't recognize her parents.

But Gawain at least played the role of a social worker.

"The principle of the Repair Charm is to release magic power and repair damaged things according to the wizard's thoughts or memories," Gawain recalls in Standard Charm: Elementary, "but it takes a lot of practice to successfully use this spell to get things restored accurately and quickly."

Naturally, he can't do that at the moment.

- Not to mention the complicated Colosseum, even if the object is just a vase, he may miss some fragments.

But as he practiced, he noticed that when the spell was pronounced, there was a rush at the tip of his wand.

Although the momentum is only a few centimeters away, and the force is not strong, and it does not have any actual destructive power, if it touches a person, it hurts, but it does not leave a scar or bruise.

(Gawain declined to share the process of discovery.) ）

The most important thing is that it does not streak a light in the air like other spells, revealing Gawain's secret identity to the world.

As for the possibility of being troubled by the Dursleys?

"Harry, you know what?

I feel that violence is not the last resort, but it is often the simplest. ”

Thinking of this, Gawain said with a casual smile.

"And what's the last resort?"

Harry asked, puzzled.

"Threats, of course. ”

In the evening, at the dinner table, Colin said.

After hearing about Harry's situation and how he was being bullied by his aunt, he visited the Dursleys.

In a "friendly" and "harmonious" atmosphere, he suggested that if the Dursleys treated Harry in the same way, he would introduce him to a few friends who worked as social workers, as well as the law firm with which his company worked.

"But actually, I want you to continue to treat him like this.

In this way, the lawyer will be able to take every coin out of your pockets that you owe Harry, and you will be 'willingly' responsible for his future living expenses and tuition fees all the way to university.

After all, child abuse, according to the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1868 ... That ending isn't going to be what you want, is it?

You can also be confident that you can win the case.

One way or another, in this world, one has to believe something. ”

He stood in front of the foyer of the Dursleys' house, smiling brightly, as if he were chatting with an old friend, and spoke calmly.

PS1: The question of British ancestry is complicated to explain, so I try to generalize as much as possible.

The first inhabitants of the British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales) were the Celts, then the Romans came and named the province of Britannia, and after that, the Romans left, and it was the Yangru and Saxons who became the dominant ones in their merciless slaughter of the Celts.

Alfred the Great (849~899) was the first Anglo-Saxon king to claim himself, and at the same time, the British at that time suffered from the Viking conquest, and were once ruled by the Norwegians (Cnut the Great), intermarried, and joined the blood of the Norse Vikings.

In addition, William, the conqueror who founded the Norman dynasty, was originally the Duke of Normandy in France and was originally of Viking descent.

If you are interested, you can leave a message in the comment area, and I will put it related to the work.

PS2: It feels like there might be some controversy in this chapter, and I'll explain it in as much detail as possible.

1. Regarding Dudley's disposition, he chased Potter and bullied the weak, which was already a very excessive thing, and Gawain only taught him a small lesson with his fists, and did not torture or grow a tail in his ass. This was not only to thank Harry, but also because normal people would not be used to this kind of behavior.

(Actually, I think Hagrid is extremely irresponsible and excessive.) Not only did he not consider the possibility of the Dursleys taking revenge on Harry in the future, but he broke the rules and used magic to hurt the Muggles. ）

2. Harry's persuasion I don't think it's an afterthought. The fight was something that Gawain took the initiative to provoke, and Dudley's brainless character shot very suddenly, and the fight was a matter of moments, and the fight was faster. He persuaded him to fight, on the one hand, because he considered that beating someone would affect other people's evaluation of Gawain, and on the other hand, Dudley was his cousin after all.

No matter how annoying it is, at least it will leave a little bit of proportion, not to mention that Harry is a very kind child.

As for why Gawain is not worried about the evaluation of the housewives, it is because he has a good image, not to mention that everyone will think that Dudley caused trouble but picked on the iron plate.

3. About Colin coming to the door to threaten the Dursleys.

It's true that Vernon and Penny provided Harry with the conditions to survive and let him go to elementary school, but that doesn't mean it's good for him!

If the social worker found out (I suspect that the reason why the social worker didn't know for so many years was because Dumbledore was secretly involved), I am afraid that someone would visit the house and strip the Dursley family of custody to provide Harry with a better alternative.

Not to mention the poor conditions of welfare homes and foster families, Harry, a child with good grades, sensible, healthy, and no mental illness such as PTSD, has never lacked middle-class families, and this is not counting the families in the wizarding world.

He is a savior, even if the family he grew up in is not an aristocratic family, but at least there should be a good atmosphere.

(Harry didn't become Riddle's kind of really kind)

4. About saying kneeling licking trio.

At present, there are 30,000 words in total, and I don't know how to kneel and lick them. And what is kneeling licking?

I think it's an unjustified accommodation, a forced creation of a plot to please you, but Gawain and Hermione are just classmates who have known each other before but are estranged, and Harry is just a passerby who is eager to help, and there are sympathetic reasons.

At present, I am completely based on the original world view of the original plot, and I think that there is no conflict with the original plot in terms of logic and plot.

When writing a new setting, I always look at the timeline and setting of the original book first, and make sure that this part has something to refer to in the original book before writing it. For example, the setting of magic, such as the main character's activities in Diagon Alley.

Of course, there are coincidences that the plot needs, but I really don't think that this level is considered kneeling and licking. Because if I want to kneel and lick, I'll arrange for the two of them to walk around Diagon Alley together, follow Harry's perspective all the way, talk a little more nonsense funny memes, and add a "drip" system.

It's good for the number of words, and it's good for interaction, isn't it?

5. On the question of whether the defendant would win on the way Dursleys treated Harry. The British legal system seems civilized, but in fact it is very rogue and the trial lawyers have a lot of say.

Indeed, if the Dursleys had found a reliable lawyer, they might end up losing money or being asked to improve Harry's living conditions under supervision.

However, the premise is that the lawyers of both parties are of equal quality. In the 90s, a square kilometer of financial companies in the UK, their lawyers were the top litigants, and it was not too easy to deal with a small company owner who sold machinery, and even BH (billable hours) may not be much counted.

And this is a threat, and it doesn't necessarily need to be able to really do it, but it must make the other party afraid that he can do it.

6. The fact that magic fails but has an effect can be referred to in the second secret room, Ron's wand is broken, but it can have an effect.

The impulsive effect of the repair spell is shown in the movies, such as when Dumbledore and Slughorn (Part 6) repaired, when they shook their wands, they started to float from the very thing in front of them.

In addition, even the Oblivion Charm has a blast (Lockhart was hit by the Oblivion Charm), especially if you have a weapon.

In the end, thank you for seeing here.

I was actually inspired by the Lion Throne, and I have some resemblance to the author, both of whom have advanced OCD.

When writing the outline, I looked up almost all PM sources (including English) and checked the timeline for a lot of mythology (whether it was Welsh legends, Viking history, and the medieval setting that happened to be the time of the Big Four), but even so, there was no guarantee that there would be no bugs.

(After all, Rowling eats books herself)

(The previous sentence is crossed out)

When designing the plot of these two chapters, I was actually a little hesitant. Because it involves this part, it is better to cut directly to the timeline of the beginning of school and follow the plot, which is both fun and novel.

But I wrote it anyway.

I think Dursley's treatment of Harry was wrong, whether or not it has since changed, and whether or not Dumbledore has good intentions. And the best way to make it up is before the story begins.

This note is 2,000 words, which is longer than the chapter, and I hope to make my intentions clear.

I also hope that those of you who are dissatisfied with this chapter can give me more time to read some more chapters, so that I can win back your trust. Thank you for your support and for making me feel like this book isn't too stupid at least.
