Chapter 635: The Godfather and the Birthday Banquet (Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
No. 4 Privet Road, near noon.
At Vernon Dursley's request, Harry and the others rehearsed the process of the dinner again.
Of course, most of it was the Dursleys, and for Harry, all he had to do was prepare the dinner party according to the menu he had set before, and then hide quietly in his bedroom and not make a sound.
There is no doubt that Mr. Dursley had no intention of introducing his nephew to Mr. and Mrs. Masons in the first place.
In Vernon Dursley's view, as long as this continues, there is a good chance that he will be able to get his hands on the signed and sealed agreement before the news at ten o'clock, and successfully broker the largest order in his life.
Ever since tasting Harry's food, Vernon Dursley has grown more confident about the dinner.
"Okay - I'll go to the city now to get Dudley and my dress, as for you......"
Vernon Dursley turned his head to look at Harry, trying to squeeze out a kind smile, "Remember our agreement, as long as you prepare the dinner well and help me win this order, I won't care about your broken school and broken birds." β
"Yes, yes, don't worry, I'll be as serious as a house-elf. β
Harry replied with little interest, he wasn't much more excited than the Dursleys.
All he could think about now was the stack of letters that had been intercepted by Dobby, the house-elf, and how he would get them back if he encountered them again...... Maybe try knocking it down with a broomstick?
"Focus!, boy!" Vernon Dursley frowned, "this is a very important thing, and I repeat, if you dare to make any mistake with me, I am absolutelyβwhat's the sound outside?"
Before Mr. Dursley could finish his sentence, a low rumble interrupted his voice.
Vernon Dursley subconsciously looked out the window, but did not see any traces of locomotives passing on the street, the noise grew louder and louder, and finally turned into a roar, and Dursley finally realized the source of the sound-
Heavenly!
"What the hell is this!"
Vernon Dursley quickly drew his double-barreled shotgun from the fireplace and looked warily into the yard.
A huge motorcycle fell from the sky and landed straight in the yard they had just taken care of, and a tall, dark-haired man with a scruffy beard stepped out of the motorcycle, holding a strange little wooden stick in his hand.
It's a wizard!
Vernon Dursley's pupils contracted violently, he was no stranger to this thing.
Aunt Penny next to her looked like she was going crazy, she could even imagine what the neighbors would come over tomorrow to ask, a giant motorcycle falling from the sky, oh my God, maybe the police are already on the way?!
The black-haired wizard flicked his wand deftly, and an invisible barrier of air flashed.
After a semester of studying magic, Harry knew it was mostly a silent Iron Charm.
As for the identity of the wizard, Harry had already identified it at this time.
Sirius Black, his godfather.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Sirius Black seem to be about to walk into the house, Uncle Vernon raised his shotgun and stared at the strange wizard standing in the yard, clenching his teeth and shouting nervously.
"I warn you, I have a gun! You'd better not intend to-"
Syllable.
With a soft sound like a firecracker.
Sirius Black's figure suddenly disappeared from the courtyard and appeared directly in the Dursleys' living room.
"Phew, Harry, it's good you're okay. Blake said, sounding relieved.
It's just that, compared to Sirius's calmness, the nerves of the entire Dursley family instantly tensed to the extreme.
Encountering the adult wizard again, Dudley was nervous, his hands tightly covering his buttocks, and he let out a frightened scream before stumbling backwards, hiding behind his father.
And her mother was already trembling and crouching to the side at this time, as if she had encountered some monster.
Vernon Dursley let out a shrill scream.
"I want you to leave at once, sir!" he raised his gun, "you're trespassing." β
"Quiet, Dursley, I'm not here for you. β
Sirius Black glanced at Vernon Dursley, then turned his gaze back to Harry.
"Harry, you're not in any danger, can you? can you not let that stupid big guy point a gun at me, I'm afraid I'll be tempted to chant a spell at him, forget it, I'd better do it myself......"
Sirius glanced at Mr. Dursley's shotgun, and waved his wand slightly.
Then, as if it had been caught by an invisible troll, Vernon Dursley's shotgun was easily pulled away, slicing a parabola through the air and thrown into the corner of the living room at the other end.
Uncle Vernon let out another strange scream, like the abrupt deflation of a balloon being punctured.
"This is Sirius Black, my godfather, my dad's good friend. Don't worry, he's a nice guy, but I don't know why he came over, and I guess he probably doesn't know much about Muggle society's way of visiting......"
Just then, Harry stepped forward and explained to the Dursleys.
"Mr. Black, why are you here?"
"I had Kreacher's letter to you intercepted, so I had to come to the door myself. β
Sirius Black shrugged, turned to look at Harry, and smiled.
"Happy birthday, Harry, I don't want my godson to go unpaid for his birthday. β
"Kreacher, that house-elf is yours?"
"My mom and brother, to be exact, have been in the old mansion since she died, I thought it was dead, but I didn't expect it to be alive - and I happened to be the last rightful heir of the Black family. Oh, and by the way, I'm not a good person. β
Sirius Black shook his head self-deprecatingly, turned his head to look at Uncle Vernon, and smiled dangerously.
"Actually, I was recently released from wizarding prison, and when I heard that Harry had been abused by you all these years, I was always looking for a chance to meet you - you know, Potter's son, my son. β
"Guess what Jaime would have done if he knew his son was being abused?"
Uncle Vernon's face instantly turned terrified.
If there was anything else he didn't know that made him more unsettling than a wizard appearing in front of him, he now knew when a convict from the wizarding world came to the door to find fault.
"Abuse? It's slander. Mr. Dursley retorted loudly.
"We've never mistreated Harry, never!" Aunt Petunia screamed, trembling.
"I don't think a Muggle family can be any better off than even their nephew's birthday. β
Sirius Black shook his head slowly, his gaze turned to Harry, who was standing not far from him, and said nonchalantly, his wand bobbing back and forth between his fingers, making them involuntarily shake every time it was pointed at the Dursleys,
"Harry, what are they doing to you, just speak up, and I'll give you your back. β
"Actually......"
Harry turned his head to look at Aunt Vernon, who was standing beside him, and then at Blake in front of him.
Harry didn't really feel much familiar with the godfather who suddenly appeared in front of him, especially after listening to Professor Snape's comments about Sirius, and he was even a little afraid of Sirius Black.
Harry had thought that if his parents' friends wanted to help him, he would tell all the things that the Dursleys had done badly about him, and teach Uncle Vernon and his cousin Dudley a good lesson.
However, the words disappeared from his lips, and he looked at Aunt Vernon's increasingly alarmed expression.
"Actually...... Aunt Vernon and Aunt Penny have always been nice to me, and Dudley and I have been in the same elementary school all these years, and we all eat the same things every day, and we were all going to prepare dinner together tonight......"
"That's right, to celebrate this kid's birthday. β
Vernon Dursley suddenly rubbed Harry's hair and interjected.
"Listen, sir!" he said, "I have to go to town now to get Harry's birthday cake, and if you have nothing else to do, I think you should probably come back at another time, and we have other guests to invite tonight." β
"Ready...... Birthday dinner?"
Sirius Black raised an eyebrow and repeated it rather skeptically.
His gaze swept over the kitchen and refrigerator at the back of the living room.
It was now full of unprocessed ingredients, half-finished puddings, and still marinated beef and muttonβeven if he didn't cook much, Blake could tell that he was preparing a sumptuous dinner.
"Well, yes, Uncle Vernon also invited one of his business associates. β
Harry nodded and replied with all seriousness.
β...... Uh, is that so?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Sirius Black's face, and he raised his hand and scratched his nose.
This was a little different from what he had heard from Hagrid, who had thought that Harry had been mistreated by the Dursleys, but as things stood out, it seemed that the family was not as bad for Harry as they had been said.
"So, can I go to Harry's birthday party together, as Harry's godfather, I haven't had a birthday with Harry for so many years. Oh, by the way, Harry, I've got a birthday present for you, I'll get it for you later. β
