After the Dragon Incident, Dudley and Harry went into a peaceful holiday life.

They live a peaceful life of salted fish, but the wizarding world is very troublesome. After the dragon attack on the city was resolved, Dumbledore did not announce what caused it.

When such a big thing happened, I always have to give everyone an explanation, and in the end, the Romanian Ministry of Magic dumped the black cauldron to the black magic object.

Although the result is very nonsense, it has to be said that the effect is very good, which has also caused the Ministry of Magic of various countries to strictly investigate the black magic objects.

The Ministry of Magic is determined to crack down hard, no matter what, to kill the chickens and monkeys, those magic families and the merchants in Tumbledown Alley, their lives are difficult.

If you are caught, you will be fined, and if you are serious, you will even be imprisoned in Azkaban.

Dudley just smiled when he heard the news, after all, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him.

The days of salted fish still have to go on, but after a long time, it feels like mold. He wished he had started school sooner.

The most painful thing for Dudley was that none of the letters he and Harry had written to Ron and Hermione were answered, and he knew that the letters had been intercepted by Dobby, a house-elf.

But this left him without the slightest solution, three owls sent letters at the same time, or sent owls to send letters in batches. But none of these plans worked, and all the letters were intercepted by Dobby without incident.

Dudley tried several times but failed to find out when or where Dobby intercepted the letter.

He didn't know the address of Ron and Hermione's house.

Although they had agreed to go to Ron's house on the train, they were in a daze and finally agreed, while Harry thought he could send a letter or make a phone call, so he didn't ask for the address.

As a result, sending letters and phone calls no longer worked, so he and Harry lost contact with their friends.

Dudley lay on a chaise longue and looked at the white sky, the breeze on an August morning that was no longer cool but a little scorching.

Yesterday was Harry's birthday, and this one was different from the past, this time with the blessings of his aunt, uncle, and cousin, he had a delicious cake and a favorite birthday present.

But Harry was not satisfied, and was a little unhappy. Because only his family celebrated his birthday, and his school friends didn't send him a single letter.

He felt sad that the letters he and Dudley had sent had not been answered, nor had he received letters from his companions. What saddened him the most was that he didn't receive a letter on his birthday.

He knew that Dudley hadn't received the letter either, and he couldn't send it either, so he didn't ask Dudley, but thought that he was disgusted by his friends.

And Dudley didn't take the initiative to tell Harry the reason, after all, he didn't even catch Dobby who intercepted the letter, which was too embarrassing, it was better to pretend that he didn't know.

"Damn!" Harry shouted, his eyes fixed on the hedge in front of him, and in the hedge flashed two surprisingly large green eyes staring at him.

"What are you doing?" Dudley didn't even open his eyes, and the time for comfort in the morning was getting shorter and shorter, and he lay down and cherished it.

"There are a pair of eyes in the hedge. ”

"Huh?" Dudley was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, I am afraid that it is not Dobby peeking.

He looked over, but those eyes flickered a few times before disappearing as Harry spoke.

There was no Dobby in sight, and Dudley was very flat. Dobby is now slippery like a loach, and instead of trying to catch it, it is better to wait for an opportunity.

Harry looked at Dudley sincerely, "What's your reaction, I really see a pair of eyes." ”

"See it, see it. Dudley waved weakly, and then he lay down again, "It won't eat you again." ”

Harry let out an 'oh' and re-entered 'idler' mode, and suddenly, he pushed the daffler's recliner, "It? do you know what it is?"

Dudley tilted his head and looked at Harry, "Well... It's a house-elf. ”

"Don't ask, it's time to enjoy. He looked at Harry, who was about to ask a question, and then he turned his head away.

Dudley is now calculating the time to live, it's too boring, he doesn't want to play when he goes out in this era.

He just wanted to get back to school soon and find a way to deal with the traces. However, it may be difficult or impossible to get rid of the traces.

If the traces were easy to fix, at a later stage, there would be no need to wait for Harry to reach adulthood.

Dudley 'tsk' a few times, too lazy to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt. He also didn't know much about traces, and there were no books that explained this in great detail since he came into this world.

The only way to do this is to ask Dumbledore if he has any way to do it.

Just after lunch, Vernon suddenly had a straight face, he slapped the table, and when everyone looked at him, he cleared his throat in a matter-of-fact manner, "I want to tell you a very important thing, today I may make the biggest deal of my life." ”

Penny said excitedly, "Isn't it the rich builder you said earlier, who will order a big rig?"

A smile hung on the corner of Dudley's mouth, more than two weeks ago, he started the layout, just to catch Dobby, he thought he would have to wait a few more days, but he never thought that it would be possible today.

As long as everything goes well, it is expected to catch Dobby today.

"I think we'll need to rehearse what we've rehearsed again," Vernon couldn't suppress his joy that he could get a lot of money as long as the order was done, "Dudley, are you sure you want to let Harry go upstairs alone, as you said at the time? ”

"It's a secret," Dudley gave Harry a calm look back.

He didn't want to keep it a secret, but he was afraid of being overheard by Dobby.

In fact, Dudley did not like to participate in such banquets unless necessary, and he preferred to stay upstairs with Harry, as he did.

But he was afraid that if he stayed with Harry, Dobby would not appear, and who made the house-elves blessed with magic was the only way to attract Dobby.

The other thing is that he has to make sure that he wants to catch Dobby and get Vernon to negotiate the deal, so he has to stay downstairs.

The ensuing rehearsal exhausted Dudley, he was speechless, so fake and hypocritical.

Dudley would think so, there is no way to do it, he didn't have to work in his previous life, and he didn't experience the beating of society. Otherwise, he will think that this is the norm.

Vernon left, going to the city to get the dress he was going to use for the evening.

Dudley thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but Penny pulled him and explained the etiquette and what to say.

Harry was the most relaxed now, sitting on the sidelines eating ice cream and teasing Dudley from time to time.

This made Dudley grit his teeth with hatred.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Penny let Dudley go.

Dudley collapsed, and all these bells and whistles are simply embarrassing for me to be fat!
