Lind shook the parchment as if to shake it off, and then folded it back into his pocket.

"I've borrowed your good words!"

Linde could only mutter silently in his heart.

After that, Linde jumped into the water. The body turns into a fish-man state or rests. About half an hour later, he sprang out again.

Keep learning and start learning.

He has been taking short breaks and studying for a long time, and Linde generally has no expression on his face because he has practiced brain occlusion, but he knows very well what he should do and what he wants to do now.

Go back a bit

4 Privet Road

As soon as he had eaten dinner, Harry was escorted to the second floor by a middle-aged man with a flushed face and angry eyes.

Shoveling Harry into the room, Uncle Vernon pointed to Harry's nose and clutched a piece of parchment that Harry knew was written on:

————————

Mr. Potter:

We've been told that you've used a hover charm at your lodging house at 9:12 tonight.

You are aware that underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school, and that if you do so again, you may be expelled from the school (Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act, 1875, para. 3).

Also keep in mind that under Article 13 of the International Federation of Wizarding and Wizarding Secrecy Act, any magical activity that may attract the attention of non-members of the wizarding world (Muggles) is a serious offense.

Have a great summer!

Mafalda Hopkirk

Ministry of Magic

Prohibition of Misuse of Magical Offices

————————

But Harry swore that he had never used magic outside of school at all, and since Harry had arrived home, Uncle Vernon had locked his spell book, wand, robes, cauldrons, and the lightwheel 2000 of the most advanced broomsticks in the small, dark storage room under the stairs. There's no way he's going to cast spells.

The spell was cast by an elf named Dobby, who had inexplicably broken into his house. He had appeared in his room almost twenty minutes earlier, and began to say that there was a great horror at Hogwarts...... Don't let him go to school or something like that.

Uncle Vernon pointed at Harry, and spit sprayed all over his face: "You ......" Uncle Vernon was so angry that his voice trembled a little, "You ruined my biggest business to date...... I've raised you for so many years......"

Uncle Vernon's biggest list was the couple who had come to the house tonight, and Uncle Vernon had been preparing for their arrival for two weeks, and until this morning he was still babbling and assigning tasks.

Harry's task was to stay in the room and not make a noise, as if there was no such person in the house.

Harry was self-aware, he knew that he didn't have much status in this family, anyway, it had been like this for more than ten years, didn't he! So he didn't have much to say, and he thought that tonight, there was that goddamn elf in his room.

He used a spell to scare away Uncle Vernon's guests, and everyone blamed them for it. Even the Ministry of Magic sent a warning letter.

Harry had never felt so bad, he had wronged himself enough, he stayed in the house honestly, curled himself up into an invisible man in the dark room.

When he was wronged in this family, he could only tell himself in his heart: "It's good to go back to Hogwarts!" It's good to be back at Hogwarts! ”

However, the appearance of the elf ruined itself.

Harry was extremely aggrieved, and hurriedly tried to defend himself, "I swear I ......"

"Shut your mouth, I think about what you've done...... Brat...... I'm going to lock you up...... You should never want to go back to that school...... Forever...... If you use magic to escape—they'll fire you! ”

With that, without waiting for Harry to excuse himself, he pushed him to the ground and slammed the door shut.

Quack

The door was locked from the outside.

Harry stood up indignantly and touched his aching elbow.

"I'm finished!"

Harry had never been so desperate. In his opinion, this is an unwarranted disaster.

The elf who suddenly appeared, he ruined Uncle Vernon's dinner party, and then made Uncle Vernon forbid himself to go to Hogwarts.

"Awesome birthday!"

Harry sat on the edge of the bed in despair, sobbing under his breath, and he saw the letters out of his peripheral vision.

The letters had been sent to him by his friends, but they were all cut off by the elf.

A large number of letters were piled up there, and Harry could only feel that they radiated an inexplicable glow.

They were the only light Harry could see at this moment.

Harry picked up a letter, it was Ron's handwriting, and Harry wiped his nose and opened it tremblingly.

————————

Harry, how's it going! Why don't you write back to me. Is Hedwig sick?

My mom kept talking about you, and she said she didn't talk to you properly, and she felt sorry because you were her son's friend.

My mother didn't give me too far, and even though I had a big yard at home, I still felt a little bored. If only your Halo 2000 were here, my lawn is really big......

How are you doing, do you want to come to my house to have fun?

————————

Harry opened the letter again. It was sent by Jane, and the first sentence of the opening made Harry feel a strong personal style.

————————

Harry Potter

You're dead, aren't you? Don't reply if you're dead, it's a bit unlucky. I've sent you three letters since I was on vacation, and you haven't replied to any of them.

……

Looking forward to hearing from you!

————————

The whole letter was a question of why Harry didn't reply, but it dispelled some of Harry's sadness. He opened a letter again, still Hermione's:

————————

Dear Harry,

How's it going, don't play all the time at home! You know, we didn't learn anything in some of our classes last semester because of Quirrell, so remember to read more books, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with the new 2nd year Defence Against the Dark Arts course......

Your friend

Hermione Granger

Looking forward to hearing from you!

————————

Harry felt even more uncomfortable at the letters, and tears fell to the floor.

Bang......

Suddenly there was a thunderclap outside the window. Then, a torrential rain covered the sky and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Harry looked at the figure reflected in the window, the rain on the window and the tears on the face of the person in the reflection.

Harry stood up and opened the window. The rain mist was blown into the house by the cold wind and hit Harry's face, scratching a little.

Harry suddenly remembered something. With some trembling hands, he stuck his hand out the window. For the first time, he took the initiative to realize this.

The rain hit his hands, and in a few moments his hands were covered with rain.

There was a tingling pain in his hand, and every time Harry touched water somewhere on his body during this time, that place was inexplicably very painful. Harry only dared to wipe his body with a handkerchief every time he took a shower.

It is said to be a handkerchief, but it is actually Dudley's old clothes.

Harry didn't understand why his body had changed this way, he vaguely felt like he knew what was going to happen, but he couldn't think about it, it was as if the memory had been erased.

Harry endured the pain for the first time, keeping his hand outside, touching the body of water.
