Chapter 10: Mr. and Mrs. Mason

"I am sorry, Mr. Dursley, and I am ashamed to have taken the liberty of visiting. ”

Now, it was Dursley's turn to be overwhelmed.

If Carl had treated him badly, he would have thought it would have been easy to do, but now, in the face of such a polite boy, he couldn't be fierce even if he wanted to.

The point is, excluding the stick in his hand that seems to break as soon as it is broken, even if he is as picky as he is, he will not be able to find any fault in the boy's behavior.

The boy's dress is definitely in the category of "normal people".

And judging from the style and style of clothing, it is definitely the most fashionable at the moment, he doesn't know anything else, but the shoes alone are extremely expensive - Dudley asked him several times, and he was reluctant to buy them for Dudley.

Even, even the appearance - he finally noticed Carl's looks...... To be honest, the boy in front of him is even better looking than those child stars on TV.

"Who the hell are you, and why are you at my house?"

For the sake of the clothes he was wearing, Dursley did his best to keep his tone calm.

He couldn't care about the rig orders upstairs.

Karl glanced at Harry, who was desperately shaking his head at him, as if he didn't want him to tell him about their true relationship.

Seeing this, Carl sighed.

Obviously he hates lying the most.

"Actually, Mr. Dursley, I'm here to find Mr. Mason. ”

Suddenly, Dursley and Harry were stunned.

The former looked Karl up and down, as if pondering the truth of the latter's words.

Intuitively, he felt that there was a 99 percent chance that it was false.

However, he couldn't help but look at Carl's cloak again.

If you have to rank the ability to judge a person's family background by the taste of clothing in this world, Dursley thinks that he can definitely rank in the first echelon.

Although the boy's clothes in front of him are not publicized, to be honest, he may not be able to afford one of them with a one-year drilling rig order commission.

Here, in the face of Dursley's gaze, Carl gradually came back to his senses.

While he couldn't fully probe a person's mind through just eye contact, as Voldemort and Dumbledore did, he could read some of the latter's mind for Muggles like Ferdinand Dursley.

Originally, he was already preparing to use the Confusion Charm, but he didn't expect Dursley to target his suit.

The one on him was in the closet of the hospital ward that Nick and Louise had given him, and he took it to wear when he left, not paying attention to the style, let alone the brand.

Freely, Karl glanced at a small mirror that had been placed on the cabinet in Harry's room.

Sure enough, the handsome spirit will overflow from the mirror.

"Boy...... Ahem, I mean......" Dursley coughed, as if realizing that his name was not appropriate for a boy in front of him who might have known his big client.

"I mean, boy...... Do you know Mr. Mason?"

Carl nodded, "Mr. Mason is a good friend of my father's. ”

Dursley's face suddenly became cautious.

Harry kept wincing at Carl from a corner he couldn't see from Dursley, and he was already impressed by Karl's wit.

If he had been replaced, he would not have been able to make up such nonsense in such a short period of time.

However, he couldn't help but worry again.

He worries that if Uncle Vernon does let Carl meet with the Masons downstairs.

If that's the case, it's definitely going to goof.

And he, when the time comes, will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

However, things always seem to be going in the worst direction.

Vernon Dursley took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile, "Boy, Mr. Mason is downstairs, I can take you to meet him." ”

Harry was stunned.

......

The living room of the Dursleys is hardly much different from Carr's home at 28 Hadlow Road in the small town of Tonbridge.

carpets, sofas, fireplaces, and some decorative paintings hanging on the walls.

Sweet puddings and cakes sit high on the dining room table not far away.

In the living room, a couple and Carl look at each other.

Dursley watched with trepidation, Penny and Dudley right next to him.

Dudley's eyes couldn't stop looking at Carl, or rather, at Carl's clothes, a pair of blue eyes like green beanflies inherited from his father greedily scanning back and forth over Carl's body.

Penny is also looking at Carl, glancing at her husband from time to time, as if wondering what the hell is going on and why there are so many strangers in her home - two strangers is enough for a well-behaved woman like Penny.

Harry stood nearby, his heart beating with nervousness.

In his heart, he had long assumed that Carl had come to see him, and he really didn't know what kind of punishment awaited him once the matter was revealed.

Looking at Carl, the Masons had doubts in their eyes, which made Dursley's heart, who had been watching it all nervously, chuckle.

Vernon Dursley only felt that he had been blinded by lard, and that he had actually taken the boy of unknown origin to meet the Masons.

And judging from the latter's performance, it seems that he doesn't know this boy at all.

For a moment, Dursley's brain was racing faster than ever, and the small brain was thinking as hard as it could, trying to think of a remedy that would make the whole thing look like a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Mr. Mason, this boy, he-"

"Carl, it's really you!"

Mr. Mason looked at Carl in surprise and said.

Dursley couldn't say the rest of his words, and his mouth opened wide and he stared at everything in front of him in a daze.

Beside him, Harry looked at the scene in front of him stupidly, he never thought that Carl really knew Uncle Vernon's big customer.

"Mr. Mason, it's been a long time. ”

Carl said to the balding middle-aged man in front of him.

He didn't use magic, and the middle-aged man in front of him, he did know.

When he was younger, even younger than now, Nick, as an unknown lawyer, took on cases that were all trivial matters, and the few big cases in front of him were one of the clients.

Almost as a copy of the Dursleys, in order to receive the former, Nick directly brought people into the house to entertain them, and Carl did not say much compliments at the time.

Recognizing Carl, Mr. Mason seemed unusually excited, gesturing as he spoke.

"Carl, you were that big when I saw you last time. ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that for a child who has not seen a lawyer for several years, middle-aged people seem to be a little overzealous.
