Chapter 350: You're Back to Your Hometown After the War
At the same time that Zhang Xu was being watched for the "zero egg report card", Harry Potter came to the village office near the Burrow and picked up the public phone there.
Not long after pressing the phone number that he thought he would never call, someone on the other end of the line picked up the microphone.
Harry heard the voice on the other end of the phone, and said with some hesitation, "Aunt Penny, it's me, Harry." โ
The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect that the caller was Harry Potter, who had been gone for more than a week, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
"Aunt Penny, are you free next Wednesday?" Harry asked cautiously, "I'm going to go to Godric's Hollow next Wednesday." โ
Harry thought his aunt knew where Godric's Hollow was, as he distinctly remembered hearing about it from her many years ago.
There was no sound of speech on the other end of the phone, only the sound of heavy breathing reaching the other end of the microphone.
It was a long time, maybe five minutes, maybe ten minutes, and just when Harry thought he was going to hang up at any moment, he heard the words "Okay, I'm free" coming from the microphone.
The words seemed to drain Penny's strength, and her gasps reached Harry's ears through the electricity.
"We'll be on Privet Road next Wednesday morning at nine o'clock." Harry said hurriedly.
After an "um" on the other end of the phone, there was a "Didi" sound after hanging up, and then Harry put down the microphone like a thousand pounds.
It's a sunny weekend, and Dudley is going to have a boxing match today.
At nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, Dudley and Vernon Dursley, who were in the joy of victory, returned to their home at 4 Privet Road in a car.
When the elated father and son enter the living room, and the excited Dudley prepares to share the joy of victory with his mother, they see Penny sitting alone on the couch, motionless, as if thinking about something.
Father and son, who realized that something was wrong, suddenly fell silent, Dudley stood quietly by the door of the living room, Vernon gently walked to the sofa, sat down next to Penny, covered Penny's hand tightly grasping his skirt with his fat palm, and asked softly, "Honey, what's wrong?" โ
After a while, Penny looked up to her husband and said, "Next Wednesday, I want to go to Godric's Hollow with Harry. โ
Vernon patted Penny's hand and said solemnly, "I told you many years ago, and now I tell you again, I won't have a ...... because of you Some strange sister while alienating and blaming you. โ
Dudley glanced at his parents in a strange atmosphere, walked up to the second floor, took his boxing gloves to the room and put them away, and then quietly went to the kitchen, trying to prepare dinner for the family like his mother used to.
Thankfully, Dursley's family still maintains a diet diet, and Dudley can still do things like slicing bread crookedly and washing fruit and vegetables and putting them on a plate.
Dividing line ~ (แฆใโกโน) ใ โก
Today's trip was one of the most unique trips the Dursleys have experienced in years.
On Wednesday morning, Bill Weasley drove to the door of No. 4 Privet Road on time.
Then Vernon, who had taken a special leave for today, got into the car that obviously couldn't fit so many people, along with Penny and Dudley.
When they got into the car, they realized that there were more people sitting in the car than they expected.
In addition to Bill and Harry, who were driving, there were Mrs. Weasley, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Black, Lupin, and Tonks in the car.
When the car flew up in the suburbs, Vernon realized that he didn't need to worry about the car being caught by the traffic police because it was overloaded.
On the way, Vernon discreetly chats with Lupin under Bill's guidance.
Petunia and Ginny were cautiously talking, and Petunia was clearly interested in Harry's girlfriend.
Dudley, on the other hand, was holding a huge school bag, looking curiously at the scenery outside the window, while eavesdropping on Harry and his two friends.
On the day Harry returned from vacation, Dudley and his parents waited in front of the train station for a long time, not waiting for Harry to come out of the train station with the trolley containing the owl as usual.
Later, a strangely dressed man came over and told them that Harry's train had been attacked, and that Harry was seriously injured and taken to a hospital called St. Mango for treatment.
Dudley asked the man if Harry had been attacked by the Dementors. In Dudley's eyes, the most dangerous thing in that strange world was the Dementors.
Then the man shook his head strangely, saying that he had attacked a man whose name he couldn't even mention, which made Penny scream in fright.
Eventually, the man led them to Harry's hospital room, where Harry was lying motionless on his bed as if he were dead.
Later, Dudley couldn't remember what happened to him
Back at home, a few days later, after Harry returned from the hospital, Dudley sneaked into Harry's room a few times while he wasn't at home and peeked at the newspapers he had thrown on the floor.
After reading the newspaper, Dudley realized what kind of enemy Harry had encountered.
For a few days after his return, Harry spent the day lying in bed looking out the window.
The Dursleys thought he was just on bed rest because of his injuries, while Harry was battling the enemies of his mind.
The car quickly arrived at its destination, and everyone got out of the car.
The car stopped at the edge of a square in the middle of the town, around which the town's most busted post office, bars and churches are located.
Of today's group, only Lupin had been here to visit the Potters' graves before, while Blake only knew where the Potters' house was.
When Lupin led the crowd past the war memorial in the center of the square, they suddenly noticed that the obelisk had become a statue.
Perhaps because of their time with the wizards, the Dursleys saw the change.
Penny screams when she sees the statue because she recognizes the female statue holding a baby as her sister.
Harry, on the other hand, walked over to the statue and looked at the faces of his parents, as well as his mother's unscarred self in her arms.
After a while, Blake walked up to Harry's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go." โ
After such a small episode, the expressions of Harry and Penny both became solemn.
Soon, led by Lupin, the crowd came to the cemetery next to the church.
