Chapter 10 Work is to constantly find and solve problems
"You're saying that Harry Potter might be prevented from attending school by his stupid Muggle relatives?"
Bertha Joggins was worried in her tone, but her elated expression betrayed her true mood.
Bertha Jorkins, a gossip girl who naturally likes to probe other people's secrets, was suffocated because she couldn't tell anyone else about Harry Potter's whereabouts, and now Luo Cheng told her such a big news, she really couldn't help it.
"Of course not! Harry Potter is our Savior! How could he spend his entire life with those stupid Muggle relatives? Is your intelligence reliable? ”
"Very reliable, I'm absolutely sure, I've been tracking the relationship between Harry Potter and the Dursleys lately and found out that he has been being abused."
Luo Cheng handed Bertha Jorkins a picture of Dudley and his henchman chasing Harry.
"But that only goes to show that Harry Potter was treated poorly by his Muggle relatives."
Luo Cheng took out another DV machine, "This is a Muggle product, it can record what has happened." ”
He pressed the button in front of Bertha Jorkins.
"Potter! You're going to Stonewall! On the first day of school at Stonewall, they would dip their freshmen's heads down the toilet. "The camera shows a fat boy speaking viciously to Harry Potter.
The camera cuts again, this time Harry is pointing to a basin of grey-black water soaked in something like a rag.
"What is this?"
"Your new uniform." A mean-looking woman said.
Harry glanced into the basin again.
"Oh," he said, "I didn't know I had to get so wet." ”
"Don't be foolish," the woman rebuked, "I'll dye Dudley's old clothes for you." When I dye it, it will look exactly like everyone else's. ”
The camera started to switch again.
Harry Potter trembled in the doorway and held an envelope with a wax seal, a coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounded by a capital "H".
"Boy, bring it quickly!" It was a man's gruff voice.
A fat man snatched the envelope from Harry's hand.
"That's for me!" Harry said that it looked like he wanted to get the letter back.
"Who will write to you?" The fat man said sarcastically, shaking the letter open with one hand and glancing at it. His face suddenly turned from red to blue, faster than the traffic light. This is not the end of the matter. Within seconds, his face was as gray as cereal porridge.
"Pey, Pe, Penny!" He said breathlessly.
The mean-looking woman took the letter curiously, and as soon as she read the first line, she seemed to faint. She grabbed her throat and choked as if she was about to breathe.
"Dursley! Ah! Oh my God—Dursley! ”
You look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak.
"Vernon," said the woman in a trembling voice, "look at the address—how would they know where he slept?" They're not going to spy on our house, are they?"
"Surveillance - snooping - maybe they'll be following us." The fat man complained indignantly.
"But what are we going to do? Vernon? Shall we reply to the letter? Tell them we don't want to-"
"No," he said at last, "no, we'll leave him alone." If they don't receive a reply... Yes, it's the best way.. We're not moving.."
The DV film was over, and Bertha Joakins was gritting her teeth as she saw it.
"It's too much! These Muggles really wanted Harry Potter to be Muggles for the rest of their lives. But Arabella Feig said that Dumbledore had told us that we should pay attention to Harry Potter's growth and avoid any contact from anyone in the wizarding world before he entered the school. With the pressure of public opinion? How about telling the reporter of the Daily Prophet about this? I have a good relationship with Rita Skeeter, and with news as big as Harry Potter, I can get her to have a full page in the Daily Prophet! ”
"Don't!"
Luo Cheng almost wanted to roll his eyes, this Bertha Jorkins is really a pot that can't be opened, you asked Rita Skeeter's nonsense guy to write a full-page report, not the same offense to Dumbledore, but even more serious.
"Professor Dumbledore wouldn't want us to make such a big fuss."
"What then? The admission letter of Hogwarts is issued to all children with wizarding qualifications in England, if the child's guardian is unwilling to let the child go, Hogwarts will not go against the wishes of those parents, and Harry Potter can't really be a Muggle for the rest of his life! ”
That's when you don't even know it's all Dumbledore's script! Luo Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, of course he knew that no matter how the Dursleys stopped it, Harry Potter would eventually be able to successfully enter Hogwarts, but Bertha Jorkins didn't know. In the workplace, work is to constantly find problems and solve them, and if there are no problems, then create problems.
"I thought we could solve this problem in another way."
Luo Cheng said, "I have looked at the responsibilities of Muggle liaisons, and one of them is to protect magical creatures and wizards, and Muggle liaisons can directly intervene in Muggle behavior when necessary. ”
"Are you going to go straight to teach Harry Potter's hateful Muggle relatives?" Bertha Jorkins blinked, "That's a good idea, but wizards are breaking the Ministry of Magic when they cast spells on Muggles." ”
"I didn't mean that, I meant that I could solve this problem in a Muggle way and get them to agree to Harry Potter admission."
"In the Muggle way?" Bertha Joggins didn't quite understand what Luo Cheng meant, but seeing that Luo Cheng was confident, she still decided to support this subordinate.
"Okay, then you might as well try your method first, if it succeeds, I'll give you a performance rating, if not, we'll write to Dumbledore."
