Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hogwarts I'm Coming
While Kane was building a magical industrial fortress in the underworld, he was not negligent in human interaction.
The boredom he suffered in his previous life made him angry, and he was ready to make a few more friends of the opposite sex in this life, and it was okay to open a special project to study women's psychology.
Of course, from the fact that he did this so deliberately, he had actually fallen behind.
He doesn't think that this can be regarded as a low emotional intelligence, coupled with the dual impact of occupational diseases.
But he is a little funny in this aspect, and the relationship between people is still very normal.
For example, he would visit the Dursleys every year.
One day in December, he would come to the door.
Except for the first year at Dursley's office, the next two years were spent at Dursley's home.
He'd make up for Dudley and Harry's birthday presents, and give them an early Christmas present.
The Dursleys also receive gifts, not necessarily expensive, but they are the kind of gifts that are very difficult to obtain under normal circumstances.
So the two of them looked forward to Kane's arrival more than the children, after all, the gift was enough for the two to show off in front of their neighbors and colleagues for half a year, and they themselves rarely noticed such cost-effective and tasteful objects.
Before dinner, he would talk to Vernon about business, and after dinner, he would gossip before leaving around 9 p.m.
It's all a pattern. It seems rigid, but the British are used to it, so that they can make appropriate arrangements and make the whole meeting feel more delicate and warm.
The Dursleys receive around £200,000 a year from Kane, which makes their lives very nourishing and they value the relationship.
What's more, Kane is very good to Dudley.
Although the couple loved Dudley deeply and doted on them, they actually knew that Dudley's IQ was not enough, but the dream nightcap that Kane gave Dudley changed the situation.
In fact, this thing should be called a dream learning machine, and it is fun, and it can also gain life insights. Dudley has become more and more sensible by this kind of entertaining equipment, and has gradually developed good habits and is developing in the direction of excellent quality.
Dudley was the same physical age as Kane, nine years old in eight or eight years, and because of his lack of intelligence, he studied a year late and was in the same class as Harry Elementary School, so the two were able to enter secondary school in the same year.
Although it is still in the same grade, it is obviously more like a senior grade, brave and responsible, although childish, but it can also say something, it is the king of children in the neighborhood, likes to exercise, likes to play board games, loves to be a king, captain and other leaders, and has made significant progress in his studies.
The Dursleys were overjoyed and prepared to go to Eton College in the future. At the same time, I am also very grateful to Kane, in recent years, I have been in love a lot, and I usually exchange letters.
In '89, Kane also arranged for the family and Harry to go to the Texas estate for a month.
Kane has always done well in secular business, after all, there are later generations of forward-looking development of civilization, as well as advanced technology, whether it is investment or business, it is very sharp.
The Dursleys had a lot of fun here, while Dudley and Harry had done so many firsts in their lives, including grooming the ponies, cleaning up the horse manure, and so on.
These are good life experiences, which make them more deeply appreciate the relationship between giving and receiving, as well as that kind of happiness.
Kane also invited them to play in the western-style theme park, of course, not as high-end realism as {Westworld}, but it was not bad, and everyone had a lot of fun.
This year, Dudley is ten years old, and his imitation ability is already quite strong, wearing a cowboy hat, holding a straw stick, and touching a gun in one hand, the western cowboy style is already decent, and because he likes to exercise, he is strong but not obese, and his temperament is also good.
In comparison, Harry has not changed much, he is still thin and looks crepe, but his myopia is not bad, he does not wear glasses most of the time, and he is more cheerful, more focused on communication, and likes to ask why.
Harry still didn't like Dudley very much, not because Dudley bullied him, but because Dudley seemed more rough and aggressive, commanding, and giving orders.
But at least Harry is more convinced of some of Dudley's abilities, Dudley has gone from being the king of the children in the community to the head of the boys in the class, knowing everyone in other classes, often bringing a group of boys around, and playing football with the seniors or something.
Dudley likes to play rugby, saying that it is a confrontation between men, but unfortunately he is too young, so he can only organize his own play.
Harry was also very fond of sports, and his father had inherited a good athletic talent, but he was destined to dislike sports such as collisions, and he was not good at physical fitness, strength, or endurance, so he could only wait for the future Quidditch to play a talent for skill racing.
Harry was more fond of Uncle Cullen, also known as Kane, and although he didn't get along much, Kane was very knowledgeable and willing to talk to him about wizards.
Everything Harry knew about the wizarding world had come from Kane.
Among them, he believes that the most valuable knowledge is how to learn.
A good study method allowed him to get a good ranking in school, and he also enhanced his self-confidence, and he believed in Kane's words more and more.
Kane taught him the concept of literacy, which is not easy for a nine-year-old.
Kane told him that what you need most now is to build a good learning engine, which is composed of literacy, reading habits, study habits, learning methods and so on. With it, after you become a wizard, you can digest knowledge most efficiently and become outstanding.
Fast forward to the nineties, and Kane has become more and more busy.
He is busy with research, manufacturing, laying out the intelligence network, tempering his own art industry, improving his strength, and a lot of other things that he thinks are necessary and meaningful.
But he was eleven years old, and during the summer holidays, he received an invitation to Hogwarts.
At that time, he was having breakfast with Catherine, which was a daily family program, and they were both busy, but breakfast and dinner would be shared together as much as possible, which was a kind of interaction to maintain and enhance the emotional relationship.
Kane drank the last sip of milk, picked up the letterhead, looked at the cover, and said, "What was the mood of the greatest white wizard of our time when he wrote this letter? ”
I didn't open it, just put it aside, beckoned the food box casually, and fed the messenger owl a few delicious strips of meat. The owl thanked him happily before flapping his wings and flying away.
Catherine, who has regained her noble lady demeanor and has a little more professional woman's demeanor, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I probably want to see the face of the Shafiq family's generous monthly sponsorship fee to the Order of the Phoenix, and tolerate the rumored genius who is quite unruly." ”
"Well, it would be a bit difficult for him and the other professors to tolerate me. ”
"They'll also wonder your appetite. ”
"Well, one top seven, all like me, Dumbledore will have to cry to the school board to increase the meal budget. ”
"It doesn't matter, the generous Shafiq will take the initiative to compensate. Some time ago, I met Dumbledore at the Ministry of Magic, and he talked about Remus Lupin, and he wanted me to help him. ”
"Oh, the man who was born in the sixties, the same age and rank as you, who was bitten by Fenrir Greyback and became a werewolf at the age of four, he has been in a very difficult state lately, or has been like this since he graduated, but he is not a poor man, and hardships and hardships have sharpened his temperament. ”
It's no surprise that Catherine is so eloquent about her son's personal remarks, and Kane's countless successes over the years have given her an almost blind trust and admiration for him.
"My son is all-knowing and all-powerful. Subconsciously, that's what she told herself.
"Do you want to meet him in person?"
"Well, there can be. Speaking of which, now, among the four who called themselves 'Predators' back then, the most neutral and mature one is Lupin, who rushes to this, he deserves a chance to change his fate. ”......
