Dudley lost a lot of weight.

At least the tonnage of the juvenile whale has become muscle.

On the other hand, because of this, Dudley has also become a little more handsome.

I heard that I also met a girlfriend at school.

John can only say that these people have no concept of puppy love at all.

Dudley took the initiative to visit Wick's house, and this was the first time such a thing.

The last time I came here was because Dudley ate fat-tongued toffee, and John helped him solve the matter of suffocation.

Mrs. Wick let people in, and Dudley was very reserved, and he didn't see the feeling of a school bully at all.

This is also the case in Wick's house, in school, Dudley relies on his boxing skills, but he is a school bully.

Seeing John come out, Dudley subconsciously stood up.

It's like seeing a leader.

John sat him down, puzzled, "You're looking for me?" ”

Dudley hesitated, but finally made up his mind and asked, "My mother said, the murderer came out?" ”

"Murderer?"

"Voldemort, Voldemort." Dudley thought for a moment before remembering the name.

It seems that he also heard some information from Harry's group.

John motioned for him to continue, and Dudley said, "That man would kill someone like me, right?" ”

"Harry's parents were killed by him."

Dudley was scared, "They won't show mercy to us. ”

"Mom didn't say anything, but she was scared," Dudley said hesitantly, gritting his teeth, "Can I ask you to protect us?" ”

Seeing John's contemplation, he hurriedly said, "It's okay to ask for money, we should be able to afford it." ”

He tried to impress John with money.

Dudley didn't think Harry could protect them, and although he had eased up, it wasn't much better.

Those dangerous guys can also turn people into pigs' tails, and the only people Dudley can trust are his neighbors Wick.

As for the others, he didn't like it at all.

John thought for a moment and said, "I need to go to school, and I can't protect you all the time. ”

Dudley's expression was lost.

"I have another way, though."

Turning around, John walked to the basement and took out the three things.

A puppy sculpture, a Watson's wizard chess soldier, a wooden shield.

"Put these three things in your home, and if someone intrudes, they will protect you."

John handed the thing to Dudley.

These three things are not ordinary, the puppy sculpture and the soldier have cast the Transfiguration and Becoming Charms, which is more than enough to deal with the average wizard.

The Wooden Shield has an Iron Armor Charm and an Expulsion Charm that can unfold the barrier to repel outsiders in an instant.

Those who are not invited to enter will be considered outsiders by default.

It was originally a new product in the home, which could prevent intruders and also drive away pesky guests.

John hasn't released it yet, but he can give it to the Dursleys first.

Dudley was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

"Dudley," John stopped him before Dudley left, earnestly, "you have grown up and learned to protect your family. ”

Dudley was stunned, and the sudden recognition made him a little dazed.

Walking back to Dursley's house, he was still dazed.

Penny Dursley discovers that her son is in a state of distress and thinks he is being bullied at school.

She walked up and asked with concern, "Dada, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, Mom." Dudley's gaze swept over the family portrait on the table.

This is the result of his boxing championship this year, and the family of three is smiling brightly.

Vernon Dursley, in particular, was very proud to shout from the audience that day, it was my son.

"Mom." He suddenly asked, "Do you think I'm a good boy?" ”

"Of course," Penny smiled kindly, "you'll always be my good son." ”

Dudley suddenly felt that he should be more sensible than hang out with gangsters at school.

He went upstairs and looked at the room at the end.

It was Harry's room.

And Harry was like an ant on a hot pan, at the window, not knowing what to wait for.

Perhaps Dudley suddenly matured, and even Vernon, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, sensed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong with him?" Moving his gaze to what was on the table, Vernon wondered, "Did he join the Drama Club?" ”

Picking up the wooden shield, Vernon was intrigued.

...

Wait until evening.

After dinner, the Dursleys saw Harry hurrying upstairs.

They now basically regarded Harry as a transparent person, after all, after all these years.

"Son, did you do this?"

Vernon picked up a sculpture of a puppy, just thinking about Quardali's ingenuity.

"This is what I took from Wick's house," Dudley said, swallowing the chicken breast, "and that's something that will protect us." ”

"What?" Vernon's hands shook and his eyes widened, "You mean this thing was given to you by that Wick kid?" ”

Penny also put down the bowl and came over, and the three of them were studying it.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Harry, who was upstairs, had been looking forward to it.

Dumbledore had written to him three days ago and would come to pick him up at eleven o'clock tonight and take him to the Burrow.

Harry had been sitting by the bedroom window since seven o'clock, where he could clearly see the two junctions of Privet Road.

He glanced at it every few minutes, and even the letter was memorized by him.

Despite what happened to the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore chose to believe in the prophecy.

And Harry also knew the full version of that prophecy from Dumbledore.

"The man who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord has come near, born in the family that has resisted him three times, at the end of July.

The Dark Lord will mark him as his arch-rival, but he will have powers that the Dark Lord does not know.

And one of them shall die at the hand of the other, for not both shall live, but only one shall live.

The man who has the ability to defeat the Dark Lord will be born at the end of July. ”

Dumbledore told him that there were two boys born at the end of July, one of whom was Neville Longbottom.

But the point is not who it is, but who Voldemort chooses.

Voldemort chose Harry Potter, and then Harry would be the savior.

Regarding the Horcruxes, Dumbledore was not sure.

John claimed to be better than anyone else in matters of the soul, but Dumbledore had always been synonymous with invincibility in Harry's mind.

The wait made Harry a bit of a struggle, and he began to fear that his owl hadn't given Dumbledore a reply, or that it was a prank, and that Dumbledore might be delayed by something else......

Minutes and seconds passed until the minute hand on the alarm clock pointed to 12.

Almost at the same time, the street lights outside the window suddenly went out.

The sudden darkness woke Harry like an alarm clock.

He pressed his nose against the window and squinted at the sidewalk below.

A tall figure in a long cloak was walking along the garden path.

Passing by a house, the figure paused. m.

Harry jumped to his feet as if he had been electrocuted, and even his chair was accidentally knocked over.

He stuffed all the luggage he could use into the suitcase.

Still, his movements slowed down, and the doorbell rang from below.

Aunt Vernon's voice rang out with puzzlement, "What the hell, who's calling the door at this late hour?" ”

Harry froze, completely forgetting to tell the Dursleys about Dumbledore's arrival.

He hurriedly rummaged over his suitcase, opened the bedroom door and ran down.

Just as the door opened.

A deep voice rang out, "Good evening, you must be Mr. Dursley, right?" I'm sure Harry must have told you I'm coming to pick him up, isn't it? ”

Vernon stiffly looked at the people outside.

Silver-white hair and beard that hung down to the waist, and a pair of half-moon-shaped glasses rested on a hooked nose.

A black traveling cloak with a pointed hat.

Vernon's surprised expression went without saying, and it also let Dumbledore know that Harry hadn't said it.

"Judging by your look of surprise and disbelief, Harry didn't tell you I was coming."

Dumbledore said kindly and casually, "Let's assume, though, that you've warmly invited me into your door, and it's not wise to linger too long at the door in these turbulent times." ”

With that, Dumbledore was about to cross the threshold.

At this moment, the wooden shield that had been placed in the house during the day erupted with a dazzling light.

Wicked guests come to the door.

Banish!

...

John had only returned today, and had invited the Weasley twins, so he had time to go to his attic.

Basil flapped his wings and flew to his closet, and John saw letters being stuffed into the cracks of the window.

Opening the window, he brought in all the letters.

Just as he was about to close the window, he saw a white light bloom in the Dursley's house.

“？” He fell into deep thought.

Something was taken in the afternoon and then triggered in the evening?

Could it be that Harry suddenly wanted to kill the Dursleys?

...

Some people died, but not completely......
