25. I, Harry Potter, don't go to Hogwarts

According to English law, the private property of citizens is sacrosanct, and even if Hagrid is killed by Dursley, it can only be considered legitimate defense.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people, wizards do not have to obey the laws of the Muggle world.

By the way, the word Muggle... It's actually an offensive, contemptuous term that you can even translate as 'fool'.

Hagrid, who had been waiting outside the door, looked at the reloaded gate with a dejected expression, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and then silently rode his small motorcycle and left.

Dudley was relieved until he heard the other party leave, he was still quite worried that Hagrid would react and continue the conflict, and turned to his parents and Harry and said, "The nasty intruder has been driven away, let's go back to sleep." ”

Dudley would be very tired, the LV5 level skill had almost exhausted his physical strength, and he just wanted to rest well now, and talk about it tomorrow.

This trick must be used with caution in the future.

After speaking, he lay down on the sofa and began to fall asleep.

Vernon opened his mouth to ask something, but Penny quickly tugged at the corner of his coat, and the two made eye contact and walked up the stairs.

Hagrid's arrival had let the Dursleys know that the wizards would not let Harry go...

Compared to the worried Dursleys, Harry adored Dudley: "It's worthy of Brother D, who actually defeated that giant." ’

He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Dudley, but Dudley fell asleep and could only keep his doubts to the bottom of his heart.

The next day, Dudley woke up early, and after the morning workout, the Dursleys and Harry got up.

"Let's go home."

These were the first words Dudley said to everyone, and the fat face of the baby covered in sweat had a maturity that was completely out of his age.

"I think there will be a few important guests in the house soon, like yesterday's."

The Dursleys silently packed their belongings and drove the car by Vernon in the direction of Privet Road.

Nothing to say all the way...

After a few hours of driving, we returned to that familiar two-storey bungalow.

Outside the yard and near the mailbox, the owls had all left, and a tabby kitten that seemed to be passing by was watching the Dursleys with big eyes and a curious face, carrying their luggage home.

"Baby Dudley..."

Back at home, Penny was about to say something, but Dudley waved her hand to stop her.

"Before that, I think you should tell us something, like Harry's background, like my unmasked little aunt, little uncle, well... Harry's parents, and those magical abilities, I think we can be more honest as a family. ”

Dudley accentuated the words 'family'.

Harry's eyes lit up, he looked at Dudley and then at his aunt and uncle, and sat down in his seat without speaking, quietly waiting for the next step.

Listening to Dudley's words, Vernon and Penny fell silent.

They know Dudley's character, this child has never let them worry about it since he was a child, whether it is in life or study, and even their family can get along so harmoniously, it is also because of Dudley's credit.

But this kid is so assertive...

'Tell them...'

This is the result of a discussion between Penny and Vernon last night.

In fact, at this point, there is not much point in concealing it.

"Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you... It all started when my sister and I were young..."

As Penny narrates, the long-lost memories unfold before Dudley and Harry's eyes.

The story is not long, but it is not short, there are wizards, there are magicians and ordinary people... There is laughter, there is sadness, and there is more helplessness...

When Penny was young, she longed for the wizarding world very much, and after Lily went to Hogwarts to study, Penny sent letters to Dumbledore many times, hoping to be together, but she did not have the talent of wizarding, so Dumbledore ruthlessly refused.

But that didn't stop Penny from yearning for the wizarding world, so... Through many ways, she knew about the Dementors, the Death Eaters, and even some of Voldemort, and that the man had killed a lot of half-blood Muggles... Until I learned of my sister Lily's death... Completely cut off the idea of going to the wizarding world.

And she also agreed to adopt Harry knowing everything, and it was the last thing she could do for her sister... Maybe she's an incompetent aunt, but she's a responsible sister.

The story comes to an abrupt end when the story of a sleeping baby in a cradle is found outside the door...

Needless to say, Harry knew that the baby in that cradle was himself.

After listening to Penny's narration, Harry said with a complicated expression, "So my parents were not in a car accident, but were killed?" ”

His parents died in a car accident, and the Dursleys had told him that since he was a child, and that's what he's always thought.

"Harry, I'm sorry."

Petunia stared apologetically at Harry's green eyes, as if she had seen her own sister.

Harry shook his head slightly, looked at Penny seriously and said sincerely, "If you don't tell me, it's for my good." ”

With that, Harry bowed respectfully to Penny.

"Thank you for taking care of you all these years and causing you trouble."

Having grown up with Dudley, Harry is far more mature than his peers, and he has nothing but respect for Penny when he learns all about it.

Hearing Harry say this, Vernon showed a friendly attitude towards Harry for the first time, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

As for Penny... She covered her mouth tightly, the corners of her eyes faintly glowed, and the feelings in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

"The methods of those people are terrible and cruel..."

"Vernon and I don't want to see you too..."

"You lost your parents that night... I also lost my only sister..."

At this point, Penny choked up completely.

"Penny, it's not your fault."

A sudden sound sounded outside the door, and the sound seemed to contain some kind of magic, and the soul felt calm, and the door of the Dursleys slowly opened, and outside the door stood a kind old man with a white beard, and at his feet stood a tabby kitten.

"It's rude to eavesdrop on someone."

Dudley looked at Dumbledore outside the door with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Little... Forgive me, big guy, I just happened to hear that. ”

Dumbledore winked at Dudley, originally wanting to call Dudley the little one, but he didn't expect Dudley to be about the same size as him, so he changed his words again.

"Introduce yourself, Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts."

Listening to Penny open up about her mother, combined with what she had seen and heard in the past two days, especially the unpleasant experience of the seaside cottage, made Harry feel an instinctive rejection of Hogwarts.

In particular, Dudley was injured, and then thought that he couldn't go to school with Dudley, and maybe even that he and Dudley would become people from two worlds, and he couldn't meet each other.

All kinds of sad and angry emotions welled up in his heart, after hearing Dumbledore's self-introduction, Harry's eyes instantly turned red, and he felt a hot current emerge from his cavity, and his eardrums buzzed, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and roared loudly at Dumbledore.

"Me! Harry potter! Never go to Hogwarts! ”
