Penny. Dursley's heart was unwavering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

She instinctively felt that something was happening, but there was nothing she could do.

It started about three months ago.

.

It was a very peaceful night, with the stars hidden in the black fog, leaving Privet Road to sleep in the shadows.

But Penny woke up all at once. There were no nightmares, no noise, and she just opened her eyes from her long sleep. The light gray eyes stared blankly against the ceiling, and it took a while to regain focus.

She tilted her head sideways to look at Vernon, who was still snoring happily, and relaxed.

"There really haven't been any accidents at home lately."

Penny turned her gaze to the curtain again, thinking with her brain that hadn't warmed up yet. Dudley was about to go to school, and he was going to be a little further away from home, and he was going to Smeting, Vernon's alma mater...... Dudley might be able to add a nice cane to his school uniform, didn't Vernon just take the next order...... But Vernon didn't need to spend any more money on Harry, who was going to a public secondary school......

Harry...... Secondary school? ”

Penny seemed to notice something, but the next moment her eyes were stung without warning—by the flash of light rushing in from behind the curtains—but it fled at once, leaving behind a low suppressed roar, which also abruptly stopped.

She was completely awake. If it was usual, she would definitely stick her neck out of the window and viciously look at whose car was so rampant. But when Penny tries to prop herself up, she feels visibly tired.

"Dudley is getting livelier......" Petunia gave up thinking and fell back onto the pillow.

.

Penny finally figured out what was going on last night.

That afternoon, she heard an urgent knock on the door in the kitchen.

She was surprised, but went to open the door anyway: "Go to the kitchen, Harry!"

Then she saw Dudley's face, and as soon as Dudley saw her, her grievances exploded. He cried out, "Mom, I don't have the strength of anyone else!"

Penny hurriedly comforted her baby. But by the time Vernon got off work, she still hadn't returned to Harry.

They could only hurriedly prepare a table of dinner when there was a knock on the door.

.

The scolding prepared by the Dursleys did not come in handy.

A very good-looking boy stood in front of Harry, with black hair and a regular white school uniform. He bowed slightly and said apologetically, "Please forgive me for not telling me." I'm Casto. Blake, your new neighbor. I invited Harry to my house this afternoon, but forgot to consider the situation at his house. Please forgive me for delaying your time together. ”

Vernon's face flushed all at once. He is busy with socializing, so he can naturally see what kind of person is what kind of family background.

"Oh, please come in, child," he squeezed out a kind expression, "the Dursleys are not going to be so demanding of their new neighbors. ”

Vernon secretly gave Harry a "be careful" look at him at the same time, but Harry was standing behind Castor with his head down, his body trembling terribly.

However, after entering, Harry consciously went to the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, and Castor was invited to the "Dursleys dinner".

At the dinner table, Casto got along very well with them. He began his move in the early hours of this morning, expressed his apologies for the possible disturbance to his neighbours, and then discussed with Vernon the continuing impact of the 1984 Joint Declaration of the Governments of the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on Hong Kong on all sectors of the United Kingdom - although it was now 1991 and the return date was 1 July 1997, and Vernon was unaware of the actual connection to his rig business But as the topic deepened, he couldn't help but listen more and more seriously.

"What to do, he makes sense." He thought.

Vernon also fell in love with the little jokes that the boy quoted in his comments from time to time. He himself was very fond of telling jokes to liven up the atmosphere at social gatherings, but the boy's quote of "cross talk" made Dudley, who had been tense all the time, laugh too, and made Mr. Dursley, who was middle-aged but tired and tired, want to praise a child other than Dudley for the first time.

Vernon also felt that Dudley should learn these special techniques so that he could be perfected.

"Oh, by the way," Vernon patted his head, "aren't you friends with Dudley, how about he show you around while Harry hasn't prepared your dinner yet?" ”

Dudley immediately straightened his face and stared at Casto with complicated eyes.

This is the person who praised him at the meeting, and the first to beat him in strength.

But Dudley could only get up, with a false smile on his fat face, and enthusiastically led Casto upstairs to visit his room.

He didn't dare to move his hands and feet against the boy behind him. After turning up the stairs, he was suddenly pressed against the wall.

There was a low moan from the hallway.

"Want to get stronger?" Before he could scream, a voice sounded in his ear, tempting him in a low voice.

A short time passed, and Vernon watched with satisfaction as Dudley and Casto chatted and laughed as they descended the stairs.

"It was a great pleasure for me to visit the room of an English peer," Casto said politely to the three men at the table, walking ahead, "and Dudley assured me that he would not cause you any more trouble." ”

Penny covered her mouth with her hand and let out a low scream. Vernon looked at Dudley with a look of relief.

Castor secretly gave Harry a smug look, and continued a "harmonious conversation" with the Dursleys.

Something is happening, some is changing. Penny doesn't understand why, but she's happy to welcome her new neighbor.

Merely......

"Blake?" She thought, "Have I ever heard of this surname?" ”

.

Three months have passed, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered the height of summer.

It was supposed to be an easy July.

But for Harry, there were many special tasks to do during his summer vacation. He was now lying in bed, the morning sun shining in. He thought of the morning exercise that Casto had asked for this morning—to be with Dudley, but reluctantly went downstairs.

He walked to the first floor and was about to go to the garden to get some fresh air, when he heard the click of the mailbox outside the door. Some of the letters fell on the mats.

Harry picked up the three letters with a furrowed eyebrow. Then he was surprised to find that there was one letter that belonged to him:

Surrey County

Little Huijin District

4 Privet Road

in the living room

Received by Mr. Harry Potter

The envelope was made of heavy parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink, without stamps. Curious, Harry flipped the envelope over and saw a wax seal, a shield coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by a capital "H".

"Castor's prank?"

Harry opened the envelope with a strange look on his face, and carefully examined the contents of the letterhead:

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus. Dumbledore. (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizards Association, First Class Magician of the Order of Sir Merlin)

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of the required books and equipment. Semester is scheduled to begin on September 1. We will wait for your owl to hear back from you by July 31.

Vice-Principal (female) Minerva. Sincerely, McGonagall

Harry froze. Questions burst into his mind like fireworks, but no one answered them for him.

He instinctively felt that this was another pleasure that Casto had found for him in his idle boredom, but another voice inside told him firmly: it was true.

He hurriedly ran to No. 7 Privet Road.
