Chapter 20: Intimidation (Ask for Recommendations!) )
Egger looked at the Dursleys, and to prevent their nasty words from disturbing his ears, Egger casually gave the three of them a tongue lock to lock their throats.
I have to say, this spell is really a good choice for those who are noisy.
"Hagrid, I know you're a little excited, but it might be easier for me to talk to him." With a flick of Egg's wand, the old couch where Dudley had fallen asleep suddenly turned into a luxurious sleeper, and the delicate embroidery on the sleeper silently praised the progress of Egg's Transfiguration Charm.
"Harry Potter," Iger looked at Harry and smiled, "I know you're going to have a lot of questions right now. ”
Iger sat down on the sleeper and motioned for Harry to sit down, then pulled out a delicate pocket watch from his bosom, which Mr. Granger had given him for Christmas last year.
"It's 6:30, and if we're lucky, I think we'll be able to make it in time for dinner that hasn't finished yet." Egg looked at Harry and smiled.
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't quite understand what you mean." Harry looked at Egger with some blankness, and Egger's elaborate clothes and delicate hairstyle made Harry feel a little ashamed for a while.
"First of all, I want to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and this is your acceptance letter." Egg took an envelope from his bosom and slipped it into Harry's hand.
Harry looked at Egger in disbelief, "I'm sorry, sir, I wonder if you've made a mistake... How am I..."
"How can it be a wizard? Right? Egg laughed, "I want to go back to dinner again, so I'll make a long story short, Harry." ”
"Your parents are wizards, James Potter and Lily Potter, eleven years ago there was a crazy dark wizard who wanted to rule the wizarding world, although he was funny but did cause a certain amount of panic among people, and your parents were the ones who stood in his way Harry." Egger said as succinctly as he could, "When he killed your parents, your parents gave you the most powerful protection, causing the spell to bounce when he killed you, and he himself was scattered. ”
"Because of your mother's spell, staying by your loved ones will make you extra safe, and you don't have to worry about being hurt by those who have bad intentions, so that's why your life is so bad, and we didn't come to you, in fact, I've seen you several times before." Iger smiled, and looked at Harry, who was still consuming brain cells to understand his words, and continued to speak: "As for why this family hates you, that big fat man is because he is afraid, of course, don't remove the reason why he wants to protect his wife and children, after all, the reason why you appeared in the first place still made them more afraid, although they are Muggles, but they are not as stupid as they seem." ”
Vernon's face flushed, and he couldn't say anything, and Hagrid was still staring at him.
"As for your aunt, he is your mother's sister, because your mother has a talent for magic and she doesn't, she has been jealous of your mother, and later wrote a letter to Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, hoping to enroll, but magic is obviously not something that everyone can learn, so because of the jealousy of your mother, this affection is also transferred to you, don't look at her hating magic, in fact, I wish I could touch those magical things."
Hearing Egg's words, Vernon looked at his wife in disbelief, and Penny looked like her heart had been broken, and lowered her head tremblingly.
Egg looked at Harry and laughed, motioning for Harry to ask if there was anything he wanted to ask.
"I... I still can't believe it. Harry's green eyes looked at Egger, "Could there be a mistake?" ”
"Trust me, you can't be mistaken, there's been no problem with the Hogwarts letter since millennia." Egg nodded and looked at Harry, "I don't think anything is wrong with my senses, I can feel the magic in you." ”
Looking at Harry, who was still a little timid, Egg shook his head, "You're a parseltongue, aren't you?" You can talk to snakes. ”
Hagrid shook and looked at Harry in disbelief.
Iger shrugged: "Actually, I can too, sometimes something strange happens when you're emotional, right?" Like the glass of the zoo? ”
Egg looked at Harry with a grin, and it was obvious that Harry had something in mind.
"It's so cold in this place..."Egg shook his hand, and a fire burned in the fireplace next to him, "So now, would you like to go to Hogwarts with us?" Don't worry about tuition, your parents left you a large inheritance, a mountain of gold. ”
As soon as they heard the gold, Vernon and Penny's eyes flashed with longing, and then they looked at Hagrid, who was staring at them and the others, and his face collapsed.
"I know you've had a hard time these years." Iger stood up and looked at Harry with a cold expression, "Do you know why they didn't let you go to Hogwarts?" ”
Harry shook his head, and Iger laughed.
"Because of jealousy, because of fear." Egg whispered, he felt that he was possessed by Snape at the moment, and his acting skills were bursting: "I'm afraid that you will take revenge on them after you learn the spell, you know, for wizards, it is too easy to kill a few Muggles, Harry." ”
Egger's voice was as demagogic as a demon's whisper, and then the wand in his hand pointed at the wall on the side, and with a bang, a red light smashed through the wall and flew into the sea in the distance.
"That's the power of wizards, Harry." Iger laughed, looked at the pale Dursleys, and slowly pointed his wand at a few people: "Now, they are obviously of little use to you who can already enroll..."
Hagrid looked at Egg's appearance and stopped talking, then remembered Egger's previous words, still didn't say anything, and quietly watched Egger's actions.
"Your mother's spell protects you until adulthood, but all you need to do is have a loved one around." The smile on Egger's face was dark and evil: "Look at the mistreatment they have treated you all these years, Harry, I can help you kill them, and then leave that young stupid pig, in terms of blood, he is also your relative, I can help you control him with potions or spells, now, the time for revenge has come." ”
Egger grinned, looking at the Dursleys with vicious eyes, Vernon looked at Egger with a horrified expression, frantically protecting his son and wife behind him, wanting to say something but unable to say anything, Egger's spell was obviously not something he could break.
"Do you know what I hate the most, Harry?" Egg laughed: "I hate vitriolic people the most, they are psychopathic, and they are resentful, they are jealous, all the bad roots of human beings can be found in them, I can tell you very clearly, the Dursleys are such people, even if they die, they do not deserve sympathy, and with my spell casting level, no one will know that we did it, they will die silently, and then be swallowed by the sea." ”
Harry looked at Egger with his wand in horror, obviously frightened, and then, as if he had thought of something, hurried up to the Dursleys, shielded them with open arms, and shook his head at Egger.
"Don't kill them, please—" Harry was horrified, he didn't know what he was doing.
The Dursleys huddled together in panic and looked at Harry who was standing in front of them with a complicated expression.
The Dursleys are so annoying, let them die...
In the back of his mind, a voice kept bewitching him, and Harry shook his head.
Think about it, how much better off than an animal is you living in all these years of mistreatment they have treated you? The voices were still bewitching him, and Harry shook his head, trying to shake them out of his head.
Harry felt his body weaken and cold sweat continued to bubble out, and the tip of Egger's staff gave him a great deterrent.
"Give me a reason, Harry." Egger's face was cold: "Don't you hate them? Obviously you should have a happy childhood, but because of their selfishness, jealousy, and greed, you live like a pig and a dog. ”
"But they... Gave me a bite to eat, didn't you..."Harry looked at Egger in a rough manner, forcing himself to compose, "I mean... I don't know how to say it, but you get it..."
Iger stared at Harry for a long time, then slowly lowered his wand: "After this village, there is no such shop." ”
"Although they treat me... It's not that friendly..."Harry swallowed and nodded earnestly, "But I don't think they should..."
Looking at Harry, who was about to speak, Egg nodded, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Now, Iger felt that it wasn't for nothing that Harry was the main character.
"And isn't there a world that's better for me? I can come with you, right? Harry looked at Egg expectantly.
"Of course, you will have an outstanding achievement." Egger laughed, "Actually, I didn't really want to kill them myself, although it was true that I hated them. ”
With a wave of his wand in Egger's hand, the Dursleys felt their tongues detach from the roof of their mouths.
Vernon grabbed Harry's shoulder, his face flushed, and he struggled to speak: "Don't go, it's dangerous." ”
"If you really have this heart, I think he may be able to live a better life in the past eleven years..."Egger looked at the Dursleys suspiciously, "What's the use of talking this now?" ”
Vernon was choked by Egg's words, and Harry looked at Vernon and smiled, for the first time in eleven years, he felt that this family was not so annoying.
As the two of them walked out, a voice came from behind Harry.
"Harry..."Dudley looked at Harry with some panic, and then stepped forward and hugged Harry, "Thank you... No, I mean..."
Harry looked at his fat cousin in front of him, and suddenly felt a little strange.
"I mean, I'm sorry," Dudley snorted, a little afraid to look Harry in the eye.
"It's okay," Harry laughed, "It turns out I'm not as nasty as I look, am I?" ”
The two looked at each other, and Dudley smiled a little embarrassedly.
"So... What about you? Egg looked at Harry's Aunt Petunia with unkind eyes.
Penny swallowed in a trance, stepped forward and gently touched Harry's face, then glanced at Egg with some horror.
She had been in contact with the wizarding world, and she knew that Dumbledore might not care about her, but the child in front of her, who looked the size of her son, was obviously not so easy to talk to.
"Your eyes look a lot like Lily's." Penny looked at Harry with a complicated expression, "Forgive me... For so many years... In every sense of the word..."
Penny's eyes were a little red, and she stepped forward and hugged Harry, her voice trembling, "I'm just too scared, Lily... And that Potter... It's not that much that I hate them. ”
Harry suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart, although the Dursleys had not given him any good looks in the past eleven years, but after a long time, Harry felt that he still had some feelings for them.
I'm ridiculous... They're doing that to me...
"I don't blame you," Harry hugged Aunt Petunia a little self-deprecatingly, "I guess I'm a little too weird, if I don't mind, can I come back next summer?" ”
Penny hugged Harry's head with a bitter face and kissed it, "Of course, Christmas is okay too." ”
"It turns out that the best way to forgive others is to forgive yourself." Egger looked at the Dursleys with a blank face: "Don't think the wizarding world is weird, in fact, we are also born as human beings, and we have no shortage of seven emotions and six desires. ”
"Bad luck, isn't it, Hagrid?" Egg looked at the wall that he had blown up, and with a wave of his wand, the wall was repaired intact: "Let's go, I hope tonight's party isn't over yet, take my arm, Harry." ”
Harry hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Egg's arm, and Egger led the two of them to apparition again, and disappeared into the room with a 'snap'.
Harry's arrival once again enlivened the Granger family, and both Aisha and Hermione were very curious about the boy who had never died, asking questions from time to time.
"So, you always knew where he was?" Hermione looked at Egg with a puffed out face, "Oh my God, you let him live like that and not pick him up?" ”
"I didn't let it, Dumbledore didn't allow it." Egg spread his hands: "I've spoken to Dumbledore before, but he doesn't think the best time to pick up Harry was before. ”
Looking at Harry, who was a little nervous, Egg beckoned Harry into the room: "Change your clothes, that little fat man's clothes don't suit you very well." ”
With that, Egg took out a set of his tracksuit and handed it to Harry, the two of them were about the same size, and both were a little emaciated.
"Oh, thank you." Harry was a little embarrassed and slowly changed his clothes, and after a few minutes, Harry looked at Egg and stopped talking.
"What else would you like to ask?" Egg looked at Harry with a smirk.
"It's nothing, I just... Still a little worried. Harry grinned awkwardly, "It feels like a dream." ”
Iger smiled: "Very normal reaction. ”
"At the Dursleys, you—" Harry looked at Egg nervously, "Do you really want to kill them?" ”
"Of course not, there's nothing wrong with protecting their families, they really shouldn't die, what I just said is true, I really didn't want to kill them." Egg shrugged, "But I'm just curious how you'd react in that situation, whether to kill them or whatever." ”
Harry was stunned, "Then if I just..."
"You're going to save them Harry." Egg interrupted Harry with a wave of his hand, "Hagrid's mission is to pick you up, my mission is to improve your living conditions, and it is precisely because you are sure that you will save them, so I did that, don't think about it, you are very kind, although as far as I can see, sometimes you are quite impulsive." ”
