Chapter 14 It's a Pity

10 Downing Street.

The Prime Minister's feud with Dumbledore finally had a definite result.

In Sir Humphrey's words, they had an informal discussion and a frank exchange of views on all fronts, which led to a series of plans that eventually led to a number of possible research objectives.

After moving forward in turn, it is concluded that some issues need to be put on hold under certain circumstances in order to find a way to compromise and accept cooperation between the two sides. If both sides are able to follow through and make appropriate concessions at the same time, perhaps the possible outcome may be finally created, whether the process is just or not, if the situation allows. can get a solution that satisfies both parties.

To put it simply...

They made a deal.

There are questions about the Dursleys, and Harry Potter.

First, there's Harry's aunt, Penny Dursley, who will be sentenced to six months in prison with a two-year reprieve.

This is already the lightest punishment for child abuse.

The second is Harry's uncle, Vernon Dursley, who will be sentenced to 160 hours of community labor.

As for why Aunt Penny's punishment was more severe than that of Aunt Vernon.

This is because Penny is the guardian of Harry Potter.

As for Harry's life after that, he complied with Dumbledore's request to stay with the Dursleys during the summer vacation.

However, the parties no longer have a legal relationship, and the government will take back Penny's custody.

They would give the Dursleys a sum of money for the next six years of summer 'rent'.

A settlement was reached.

The matter is finally over.

However, for Anthony, such an ending was far worse than he imagined.

As a 'man who has come before', he knows that in the original book, Penny finally chose to reconcile with Harry.

Even his cousin Dudley showed enough kindness to Harry when they parted.

Vernon was the only one who hated him as ever.

But now that it's such a fuss, Harry probably won't want to reconcile with Penny for the rest of his life.

Dumbledore was right.

That is: no matter what, Penny will always be Harry's only remaining blood relative in this world.

As an elder, especially for Dumbledore, an old man who had lost family affection when he was young and had a tragic past, there was nothing more important than family affection.

This is even more than the love between him and Grindelwald.

After solving Harry's problem, Dumbledore didn't leave Whitehall directly.

Instead, I continued to discuss something with Mr. Prime Minister.

Anthony doesn't have to guess to know that it is definitely Mr. Huck who is building his own grand blueprint again.

He was not interested in participating in the rest of the content.

So he left the office with Harry and began to wander around Whitehall.

"I can't imagine I'm in Downing Street, it's a dream." Harry's face was ruddy, and his dark green eyes were full of excitement.

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Hey, Anthony, are you also the little wizard who was invited?" ”

"Yes!" Anthony replied lightly.

He didn't want to reveal his identity yet, after all, the prince or something would only increase the distance between him and the civilian wizards.

"Cool!"

Harry said happily, "We can go to school together, I mean, where the hell is the nine-and-three-quarter station?" Do you know? ”

After escaping from the Dursleys, Harry seemed to be a different person, with a smile on his face and a yearning for the wizarding world in his tone.

However, there are still some confusions, such as the ticket that Hagrid gave him when he left.

On the gold card, the nine and three-quarters platform is stamped.

He had never heard of a platform called nine and three-quarters, and no one would use such a name.

Anthony also had one of that tickets, which Professor McGonagall had given.

"Thisβ€”" Anthony knew the answer, but he couldn't tell Harry explicitly.

So he changed his tone and said, "We can ask the principal and wait until their meeting is over." ”

"Alright then!" Harry said with some regret.

Anthony looked at Harry's suddenly depressed mood, and couldn't help but worry about Dumbledore's future plans.

Harry's first impression of him wasn't so good!

...

At this time, the doors of the Prime Minister's office opened.

The old man with the white beard walked out alone.

"I think I just heard you guys talking about how to get into the station?" Dumbledore's face was calm, but a hint of guilt flashed in his half-moon-shaped eyes, an emotion that only showed when facing Harry.

Anthony was keenly aware of Mr. Principal's fleeting emotions, and then he quickly collected his emotions and said, "Yes, Professor." ”

"It's good to go through the wall between nine and ten, it's very easy, if you feel scared for the first time, you can run a little first." Dumbledore quickly adjusted his emotions and turned his head to say with a smile.

And his eyes fell on Anthony.

The subtle change in mood just now caused him to look sideways.

He knew the child, and a letter from Buckingham Palace had arrived at Hogwarts a few days earlier.

The Queen's Letters!

"Anthony, is that?"

"Yes, Professor." Anthony replied subconsciously.

"You're magically gifted." There was a hint of caution in the old headmaster's blue eyes, and then he stepped forward and patted the little one on the shoulder.

Then, his brow furrowed slightly.

This child's magic...

Too much.

He couldn't believe that a young wizard of this age could have such terrifying magical powers.

This is even more than the average adult wizard.

"Mr. Dumbledore, can I take Harry? Some documents, you know. Just then Dorothy stepped out.

"Of course!"

"Harry, come over here." She waved her hand and led Harry to the reception room.

Dorothy still needs to explain the details of his life after that.

"What do you think about Harry?"

Suddenly, the greatest wizard of all looked down and asked about Anthony.

His voice was gentle and indifferent, as if it were just a casual conversation.

"This..."

Anthony, who was about to answer, suddenly remembered a previous post he had seen on the Internet about Dumbledore, which was dedicated to analyzing how the time-traveler hid his secrets in front of him.

The idle fantasies of netizens have now become a reality that Anthony has to face.

He had long forgotten the content of that post, but he remembered a little.

That is not to lie in front of Dumbledore.

The owner of the post replied that Dumbledore in the HP plot no longer had much patience to judge a young wizard of unknown origin.

Anthony was slightly stunned, then quickly sorted out his thoughts, and after being stunned for two seconds, he replied: "I think it's a pity." ”
