Chapter 9: Birthday
Section I
"Forbertol likes to fly around, you don't have to pay too much attention to him, and don't let him drink too much wine."
"Well, remember to write to me." Fleur said, as Phobertor lay quietly on her shoulder, and she took out a small wrapped box and handed it to Sauron, saying, "Happy birthday to you, Sauron"
"Thank you." Sauron took the box, looked at Fleur, and said with a smile, "Goodbye, and I wish you a happy holiday ahead." ”
Fleur hugged Sauron, but they quickly parted, her face a little red. "Goodbye." She whispered.
Sauron waved his hand and vanished into a cloud of flames.
Fleur stood there, looking at the place where Sauron had just disappeared, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses.
"Nasty guy." Fleur muttered quietly and gently patted the phoenix on the shoulder, "Isn't it, Fabertol." ”
Forbertol's shiny dark eyes looked at Fleur and blinked.
Looking at Forbertol, Fleur smiled softly, "Let's go home, Forbertol, you can drink enough of Daddy's wine tonight." ”
Sauron went straight back to the study of the old mansion, he sat on the chair, and opened the box with some excitement. Fleur gave him a small ball made of crystal, and a small ball of bright blue flame burned inside. The attached letter reads, "Happy birthday to you, Sauron. This is what I made myself, I hope you enjoy it. ”
Sauron smiled faintly, and he looked fixedly at the bright flame in the small ball, clear blue, like Fleur's beautiful eyes.
After a long time, Sauron put down the ball and cast a long-lasting levitation charm that made it float silently in the corner of his desk. Sauron stood up and shouted, "Bono." ”
The elf popped in front of Sauron, and he said respectfully, "What's the matter, master?" ”
"Bono, go make a birthday cake, it's bigger." Sauron's tone was not as low as usual, "By the way, hurry up. ”
"Yes, master." The elf bowed and vanished.
Sauron turned and walked to the bookshelf, glanced for a long time, pulled out a thick book from the corner, Sauron looked at the book in his hand, "Common Spells", and raised an eyebrow.
It was getting dark, and Sauron appeared in the courtyard at No. 4 Privet Road, carrying a large cake and that thick book. Sauron frowned, he could feel a faint fluctuation of magic. Sauron knocked on the door, and it was Uncle Vernon who opened the door, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Sauron, and his face suddenly turned red and white. He slammed the door shut and yelled inside the room, "You're not welcome, you little bastard, you freaks are going to bother me for as long as you freaks." ”
Sauron frowned, suppressing the anger in his heart, "Open the door, I'm here for Harry." ”
Aunt Penny and Dali screamed faintly in the room, and Aunt Vernon roared, "No way, you and your brother are freaks who cause trouble......
Before Vernon finished his words, Sauron directly blew the door of the house to pieces with his wand, Penny screamed loudly, and Dali hid in fright, Vernon looked at Sauron who broke through the door with a frightened expression.
Solon ignored the Dursleys and shouted, "Harry, I'm Sauron, I'm here for your birthday." ”
Soon, Harry staggered down the stairs, surprised and happy to see that it was Sauron.
"Go back upstairs, you troublemaker!" Aunt Vernon roared, and he turned to Sauron again, "How dare you, you blew up the door of my house, you are as uneducated as your brother, I want to ......"
Vernon didn't finish his words and looked at Sauron in horror, who took out his wand and looked at him coldly.
"I think you've forgotten what I said at the train station." Sauron said coldly.
"You can't threaten me, you can't do magic here, you'll be expelled like your damn brother." Vernon forced his composure, while Harry looked at Sauron with some concern.
"Hmph." Sauron snorted, "You can try, maybe I can blow this to the ground before the Ministry of Magic warns me." ”
Uncle Vernon's small eyes were fixed on Sauron, a mixture of anger and fear on his face.
Ignoring him, Sauron shouted to Harry, "Harry, pack your things and I'll take you to my place." ”
Harry looked at Sauron, then at Aunt Vernon, turned and ran back upstairs, and after a while, he ran out again, stood at the top of the stairs and said, "There are too many things for me to take down." ”
Sauron said, "Bono, go help Harry get the stuff down." ”
The elf popped behind Sauron, bowed, and ran up the stairs. Harry looked at the elf and said in surprise, "Dobby, how could it be you?" ”
"Sir, I am not Dobby, my name is Bono, and I am the servant of my master." The elf said respectfully to Harry. Then he snapped his fingers, and objects large and small flickered out of Harry's room and landed neatly on the floor of the living room.
The appearance of the elf apparently irritates the nerves of the Dursleys again, and Petunia begins to scream again, while Vernon angrily shouts, "Damn, don't bring these damn weird things to my house, you don't think I'm in trouble enough." ”
Sauron raised his hand and opened a hole in the wall behind Vernon, and Vernon shut his mouth in a daze. Harry hurried to Sauron's side, Hedwig's cage in his hand, and Hedwig screamed as she swayed through the cage. Harry said to Sauron, "It's all packed. ”
Sauron said to Bono, "You take all this luggage back to the old mansion. Bono bowed, and disappeared with Harry's things.
Sauron looked at the Dursleys again, pouting relentlessly. With a flick of his wand, debris floated all over the ground, and soon the broken door and the large hole in the wall were repaired. Sauron turned to Harry and said, "Grab my arm." Harry hesitated, obviously remembering the last feeling, but thinking that he could leave the Dursley house immediately, he put his hand on Sauron's right arm, and the two disappeared into the Dursley's living room, leaving Penny fainting and Vernon trembling with anger.
Sauron and Harry appeared in the living room of the old mansion, this time Harry's face was much better, but his face was slightly pale. But soon Harry looked around curiously, after all, it was the first time he had visited the home of a wizard who was still his brother.
The elf popped into the living room, startling Harry, and asked respectfully, "Master, the luggage is all packed, and the bedroom is ready." Any other commands? ”
Sauron nodded, "Well done, Bono, now go get a good dinner." ”
Bono bowed, then stepped back. Harry looked at the elf curiously, "His name is Bono, isn't he?" He asked Sauron, "He's a house-elf too?" ”
Sauron raised an eyebrow, "Well, he's a house-elf, what's the matter, you've seen other house-elves?" ”
Harry said unhappily, "yes, just before you went to pick me up. A house-elf came up to my bedroom, he said his name was Dobby, I said a whole bunch of inexplicable things, and then ruined the Dursleys' dinner for their guests. ”
Sauron frowned, no wonder the Dursleys looked so sensitive. He had no impression of a pokew named Dobby, and he didn't know what caused an elf to run to Harry to cause trouble. "It didn't hurt you, Harry?" Sauron asked.
"No, just a bunch of strange things, what a conspiracy, I'm in danger or something. He wouldn't let me go back to Hogwarts, and when I refused, it wreaked havoc at the Dursleys. As a result, the Ministry of Magic sent me a warning letter......" Harry didn't finish, and instead looked at Sauron worriedly, "You made such a big fuss there, you won't be in trouble, right?" ”
As if in response to Harry's question, an owl fluttered in through the open window, dropped a letter, and flew away. Sauron picked up the letter, opened it, looked at it, smiled disdainfully, and threw it into the fireplace with his hand. He glanced at Harry and smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, some of my friends will help me with this." Now, what I'm going to do is give you a birthday. He gestured to the large cake on the table, "Happy birthday, Harry." ”
Harry smiled happily as he said to Sauron, "Happy birthday to you, too, Sauron. ”
Sauron happily patted Harry on the shoulder, "I think Bono should have made dinner ready, let's go eat." With that, he took Harry to the dining room.
The dinner was plentiful and delicious, and both Sauron and Harry were happy. After all, it was the first time the brothers had celebrated their birthday together, the first time they celebrated their birthday in the company of their families.
After dinner, Sauron led Harry around the mansion before leading him to his study. Harry smacked his lips in surprise as he looked at the large bookshelves that were so filled. Sauron took the prepared book and handed it to Harry. "Your birthday present, Harry."
"Thank you, Sauron." Harry was glad to take the book, then turned to an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry I couldn't prepare you for your birthday." ”
Sauron patted Harry on the back comfortingly, "It's okay, I'm very happy that you can accompany me for my birthday, actually, this is my first birthday." ”
Harry looked at Sauron in surprise, and Sauron smiled indifferently, "Don't be surprised, I've been living on my own all these years. Moreover, you are my younger brother, and I, as an older brother, should take care of you, but unfortunately I have not been able to do it for so many years. Actually, it's me who should apologize. ”
After hearing this, Harry looked a little excited, his eyes were red, and Sauron couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "Okay Harry, be stronger." It's your birthday, so don't always think about something unhappy. It's not too early, I'll take you to your bedroom. ”
Harry nodded, and went to his room to sleep with Sauron's lead.
Section II
The next day, Harry woke up and went downstairs to find Sauron sitting in the living room, eating breakfast. Seeing Harry come down, Sauron put down his breakfast and looked at Harry, "How was your sleep last night, are you used to it?" ”
"Very good, much better than at Dursley." Harry said happily.
"Then go clean up and come over for breakfast."
After breakfast, Sauron sat on the couch and looked at the newspaper that the owl had just delivered, while Harry stood on the balcony looking out at the street.
"People from outside don't seem to be able to see here?" Harry said curiously.
"That's right, there was magic on the outside of this house, and Muggles could only see an empty and dilapidated old building." Sauron said as he read the newspaper.
"It's amazing." Harry was excited, "Sauron, can you teach me how to use magic, I know you know you can do a lot of magic. ”
Sauron put down the newspaper and looked at Harry, "How's the disarming spell going?" ”
"It's okay." Harry looked at Sauron cautiously, "Of course, it's far from you. ”
Sauron smiled, "There's no need to compare with me, just wait until you use more." Sauron stood up, "Follow me, Harry. ”
Sauron led Harry to the study, opened the secret door hidden behind the bookcase, and led Harry to the basement where the magic plants had been cultivated. Harry looked curiously at the basement, where there was a large shelf in front of one wall with all kinds of magic potions. There was also a large table and nothing beyond that. The walls are white, and they are carved with blue magic runes. Sauron waved his wand, and the table and the large shelves vanished, revealing a row of wooden targets next to the wall.
"Raise your wand and follow me, Harry." Sauron said, holding up his wand to a target, "shattered to pieces"
A bright red light shot out of Sauron's wand and struck the wooden target, shattering it. Harry's eyes widened in surprise, and then, following Sauron's example, shouted, "Broken bones." A flash of red light struck the target, but only knocked it over, and Harry sighed in frustration.
"Try again and focus." Sauron reminded.
Harry tried a few more times, and one last time, a bright red light hit the target, shattering it again and shooting his confidant into the wall. To Harry's surprise, the wall was not broken, the spell seemed to have been absorbed by the wall, and at the same time, the magic runes on the wall lit up and soon dimmed.
"These runes can absorb the power of magic and prevent the magic fluctuations from spreading, otherwise too strong magic fluctuations will attract people from the Ministry of Magic." Sauron explained. He looked at Harry and saw that Harry was looking a little dazed, "Are you alright, Harry?" ”
"Nothing, feeling a little dizzy"
"You've been using too much magic in a row, it's normal, let's stop here today, let's go outside and rest." With that, Sauron led Harry out of the basement.
At noon, I just finished lunch. An owl flew in from the balcony and landed directly to the ground. It looked sickly, its gray feathers were a mess and lacklustre. Sauron took the letter from his paws, glanced at it, and handed it to Harry.
Harry opened the letter, read it for a moment, then put it down, and said to Sauron, "It's a letter from Ron, who invited me to their house. ”
Sauron frowned slightly, he didn't really like Harry's friend, in fact, he didn't have a liking for the Weasleys, and of course, he didn't dislike it. The Weasleys had always been prejudiced against Slytherin, with an almost paranoid admiration for Gryffindor, much to Sauron's unaccustomedness.
Harry saw Sauron's displeasure and asked cautiously, "You don't seem to be happy?" ”
Sauron didn't speak, he glanced at Harry and shook his head. Harry breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Will you go with me?" ”
Sauron hesitated, nodded reluctantly, and Harry happily went to write back.
At that moment, another black owl flew in, dropped a letter, and flew away again. Sauron opened the letter, and there was only one sentence written in it - "The little trouble you have caused by the Ministry of Magic has been resolved, Your Highness. "It's Ibikos.
Sauron smiled after reading it, and the black flames instantly burned the letter.
Harry quickly finished writing a reply, and asked the sick owl to deliver it to Ron. Harry was excited to go to Ron's house, while Sauron was not interested. That night, in the middle of the night, Sauron's eyes snapped open, and he sensed a wizard nearby. Sauron appeared in front of the door in his pajamas, and to his surprise, a dilapidated Ford was floating in the doorway, and the Weasley twins poked their heads out of the window.
"What is this?" Sauron frowned, saying that the car looked tattered and clearly enchanted.
"A flying car, isn't it, it's very exciting. We're going to pick Harry up and take him to our house. Fred excitedly said, "Hurry up, we'll go back before dawn, or mom will kill us." ”
Sauron's brow furrowed even tighter as he heard this, it was clear that they had secretly driven the car out. Sauron hesitated, but went into the house and called Harry up. Soon, Harry packed his things in his excitement and loaded them all into the car with Sauron's help.
"The car was full, and we couldn't fit five people." The twins were embarrassed and said, "I shouldn't have brought little Ronnie if I knew I wouldn't have brought it." ”
Ron was upset, and Harry looked at Sauron, hoping that he would come up with a solution. Sauron looked at Harry, then at the Weasleys, and finally said, "Are you sure this car is safe?" ”
"Of course, and it's cool, isn't it?" The Weasley twins said.
"Well, Harry, take the car and go, I'll go by myself." Sauron said to Harry, "Don't worry, I'll be there faster than you are." ”
Harry looked at Sauron in embarrassment, and Sauron pushed him into the car and closed the door. The Weasley twins screamed excitedly, started the car, and disappeared into the sky. Sauron stood in the courtyard for a while, then went back to the house.
In the car, Harry was worried about Sauron at first, but soon became immersed in the excitement of flying. It wasn't until a golden-red light appeared on the horizon that they reached the Weasleys' house, the Burrow. Mrs. Weasley stood at the door of the house, wearing an apron and cross-waisted, and watched angrily as they snuck through the garage. She reprimanded the Weasley twins and Ron harshly, and was friendly to Harry. When she entered the house with her four children, Harry was surprised to find Sauron sitting in the living room, talking to Mr. Weasley. Sauron glanced up at Harry and saw that he was intact, and continued the conversation with Mr. Weasley, while Mrs. Weasley reprimanded the twins and urged the four children to eat breakfast.
"You're talking about an elf running into Dursley's house, casting a spell to make a mess of a qiē, and trying to stop Harry from going back to school." Mr. Weasley frowned and said, "As far as I know, elves can't act on their own without their master's permission. ”
"So, I'd like you to check with the relevant departments at the Ministry of Magic, of course, I hope it's just a harmless prank."
"Of course, I'll ask the people from the Department of Magical Creatures Management when I get back." Mr. Weasley agreed.
At this moment, the Weasleys' youngest daughter, Ginny, came down from the stairs, she seemed to have just woken up, rubbing her eyes, and when she saw Sauron sitting on the sofa, her face showed surprise and slight nervousness.
Sauron looked at Ginny, who, like everyone else in the Weasleys, had fiery red hair and a timid look on her cute little face. Sauron smiled, "Hello, you're Ginny. Remember me, my name is Sauron, and we met at the train station. ”
Ginny looked at Sauron, who seemed to be a little scared of him despite his smile, and turned and ran to the kitchen. Sauron smiled helplessly at Mr. Weasley, "She seems a little scared. ”
Ginny didn't seem to be afraid of life, just Sauron, in fact she was very interested in Harry, but every time she saw Harry, she was nervous, and her little face turned red.
In the afternoon, Harry and the Weasley boys cleaned up the goblins in the yard, Ron surprised Sauron a little by the way they cleaned up the goblins, they just threw the goblins out of the courtyard walls, but Sauron knew that they would soon come back again, in fact, Sauron usually killed the harmful creature directly.
"Oh, it bit me." Harry shouted, and a goblin bit Harry's finger with sharp teeth, and Harry shook his hand in pain.
Sauron walked over, he grabbed Harry's hand, pointed his wand at the goblin, and said, "Withered".
Under the surprised gaze of several people, the goblin body that bit Harry's finger quickly dried up and then turned into powder. Fred and George looked excited to see Sauron's hand, while Harry and Ron's faces looked a little ugly.
"Uh, it's, it's gone, isn't it?" Harry said uncertainly, it was hard to accept that Sauron had killed the goblins in front of his eyes in a cruel way.
Sauron raised an eyebrow, "It's just a goblin." ”
