108. Can you pet that baby for me?
"Brother D, can you pet that baby for me? That's it, and I promise it won't break. ”
On platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross Station, Ron, who was waiting for his parents, whispered a plea.
"Here you go." Dudley casually tossed the contents of his pocket to Ron.
It was the Order of Merlin that Dudley had received in the auditorium, the Order of Merlin, Third Class.
Truth be told, he's not unusual.
The Merlin Medal is a medal awarded by the Merlin Sir Order, and the Merlin Sir Regiment is the earliest magical organization established in the wizarding world, which originated from the legendary wizard Merlin, which is much older than the Ministry of Magic or the like, but such an old organization can only issue medals to show its existence.
The Merlin Medal is actually a kind of medal of honor, the symbolism is greater than the practical meaning, and it is not too remarkable.
As long as you donate enough money, it's not uncommon to get a first-class medal, and someone in the pure-blooded Black family has done this.
Although it is not worth a few bucks in essence, it is still very bluffing in front of the layman.
Just look at Ron's rare and precious look.
Even Malfoy followed.
It stands to reason that the Malfoy family, which has a 'long history', should not be unfamiliar with the Merlin Medal, but in fact, the Malfoy family really does not have it.
Waving goodbye to Malfoy, Ron, and Neville, Ron was greeted by a family of striking redheads, a serious-looking witch who came to receive Will, and Malfoy was greeted by a wizard with long pale blonde hair and the same pale skin as Malfoy.
As he picked up Malfoy, his eyes stayed on Harry for a moment.
Soon, the little wizards at the station were all gone.
Looking at the fading sky, Dudley said to Hermione and Harry beside him.
"I guess. Our parents may have forgotten to pick us up. ”
Sometimes the relationship between parents is too good, and it is also a burden for children.
At this time, Privet Road.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger were having a barbecue party in the courtyard with Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, seemingly celebrating.
suddenly
Penny seemed to remember something, turned to Vernon and said, "Vernon, have we forgotten something important?" ”
"Dear Penny, this is the ninety-ninth time you've asked that." Vernon swallowed a roasted, slightly charred sausage, and he loved the taste so much: "We haven't forgotten anything. ”
"Dudley, they won't come back until the 9th, and today is only the 6th, and there are still three full days."
Mr. Granger, who was slightly drunk, took over: "No, I remember wrong, Hermione said they were back on the 6th. ”
"Wait. It seems to be the 6th today? ”
Vernon:.
Penny:.
Mrs. Granger:
After a brief moment of silence, the silence was broken by Penny.
"It's okay, Dudley is here, they can come back on their own."
yes, with Dudley there, what's there to worry about?
Anyway, it's too late now.
Then music, then dancing, barbecue beer and walking.
In the end, Dudley and the three returned to Privet Road, of course, by taxi, and all the young wizards were notified when they left Hogwarts that they were not allowed to use magic during the holidays. Dudley doesn't care about that, you can find me to cast a spell and count it as your bull.
Looking at Vernon and Mr. Granger lying on the floor of the house with their drunken chests and arms exposed, the three of them could see the helplessness in each other's eyes at each other.
Their father is really unreliable.
As for the mother, Penny and Mrs. Granger were wiping tears from their eyes on the television in the living room.
It was a romance drama.
After meeting Dadley, they immediately expressed their welcome, and after asking a few questions about their campus life at Hogwarts, they said that they would let them play by themselves first, and not disturb them to catch up on the show.
Very well, indeed biological.
Other people's holidays are in a state of vacation, but Dudley's vacation is busy, not to mention wasting, every minute and every second of his life is planned.
Don't forget, he opened a company in the world of ordinary people, even if he just needs to maintain the popularity of IP to earn pounds, but he still needs to manage.
Harry said he was used to it, after all, it was Dudley.
So Harry read more seriously, he wanted to be Dudley's helper, and he still remembered that Dudley had promised him a position.
Every day except reading a book, just reading a book, there is no way that a little wizard can't cast spells casually.
Of course, ordinary people's money has to be earned, and wizards' money has to be earned.
Grasp with both hands, and be hard with both hands.
No one knows the benefits and conveniences that money brings better than Dudley.
Money is not everything, but it may be nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.
Since the holidays, Harry's Hedwig has become almost Dudley's exclusive messenger, either flying or on the way every day.
However, with Dudley's secret rations, Hedwig had no problem with that.
Dudley is in contact with Carlo, of course, not to publish the second part of "Dragon Lance Chronicles", and it is not new, how can you make money in only one field?
Didn't Ron help him collect the wizards' entertainment before? Dudley has a new idea for the proliferation of entertainment in the wizarding world.
The first part of "Dragon Lance Chronicles" not only saved the Witch and Poison Press, but also made a lot of money, which made Carlo, who was already looking at Dudley differently, even more interested, no one would have trouble with money, especially purebloods.
So it hit it off.
Some of the details are now being discussed.
When you first arrive in the wizarding world, you will feel that everything is new and magical, but after staying for a long time, it is actually not much different from the world of ordinary people, and there will be inconvenient times.
For example, using an owl to send a message is definitely not as convenient as a phone call.
After communicating with Carlo for five days without a result, Dudley decisively put pen to paper.
"Mr. Carlo of Respect"
Dalio Carlo met for an interview in Hogsmeade three days later.
He couldn't stand the fact that sending a message could take hours to get a response.
The efficiency is slow enough.
At this moment, Penny's shout came from downstairs.
"Dudley, your call is coming, it's Hermione."
"Okay, I'm here."
With the footsteps of 'tons and tons', Dudley walked downstairs, and the two of them would basically 'boil' on the phone once a day.
If you have the chance, you can try to use magic to speed up the transmission of information.
For example, if you can communicate at any time on the phone, it would be nice to be able to chat in real time.
Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the new abilities you have acquired?
"Kill Voldemort's remnant once, reward: Costume Transformation LV1."
"Stop Gryffindor from winning the House Cup, reward: Magical Beasts Training LV1."
