Chapter 2 Salted Fish
While Dumbledore was thinking, Harry had already gotten up and pulled a bottle of beer and a bottle of Coke out of the fridge.
"Which do you drink?" Harry asked.
"Uh...... For wizards, it's better to drink less! Dumbledore said.
"Oh~" Harry Potter said he knew, and then opened both bottles and handed the Coke to Dumbledore.
"Harry!" Dumbledore frowned, saw Harry drink half a bottle of beer in one go, and said, "Minors can't drink. ”
With that, he took out his wand and waved it, turning the beer in Harry Potter's hand into Coke.
"Hmm...... The taste is still very real! Harry took a sip of the conjured Coke, and it felt like a real Coke.
"That's how magic works."
"So, if you can turn beer into cola, can you turn coke into beer?" Harry seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.
"Of course, magic can do anything!" Dumbledore thought Harry had taken an interest in magic and said.
"Presumably water can also be turned into wine? I have a way to make a fortune, why don't we cooperate, how about we divide three or seven? Harry said with interest.
“……”
What is the way to make a fortune, it will not be to make fake wine and pretend to be a famous bar?
Or three or seven points?
It's not going to be him three, Harry seven, right?
The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, and he had to say, "If you are interested, Harry, you can learn magic by yourself and try it yourself." ”
Turning water into wine is a kind of transfiguration technique that is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is simple.
In order to let Harry Potter learn magic, he even ignored the fake.
Anyway, the wizarding world has a magic that specializes in detecting alcohol, and if you want to fake it, it will also circulate to the Muggle world. The Ministry of Magic has dedicated personnel to monitor this kind of magical item that flows into the Muggle world.
"Oh~" Harry Potter heard that he had to learn it by himself, "oh", he was not interested, and said, "That's too troublesome!" ”
"Ahem...... Harry. Seeing Harry's lazy appearance, Dumbledore decided to give Harry some harsh medicine, saying, "Sometimes, even if you don't want to go to trouble, trouble will come to you. In order to solve problems, it is better to learn magic and make good use of it. ”
"Definitely. Those door-to-door troubles are really annoying! Harry Potter nodded.
"So......" Dumbledore thought Harry had agreed to learn magic.
"So I have specialized guys to deal with trouble!" Harry pulled open a drawer from the cabinet under the game console TV.
Inside was a black pistol.
"M1911, 11.43 mm caliber, created specifically to solve problems."
“……”
The corner of Dumbledore's eyes twitched, he naturally recognized this as a Muggle weapon, and he said, "Harry." Such weapons will not solve the problems you are experiencing. Wizards aren't terrified of such weapons. ”
This is true, maybe the wizard will die if he gets shot in the head. But there are many ways that wizards don't appear on the front!
"Oh~" Harry still said "oh" first, opened the drawer again, and said with a drawer of pounds inside, "I still have this one." ”
"Money is not everything, and it does not solve trouble!" Dumbledore shook his head and said, only then did he realize that Harry still thought of the world as a child.
"So what!" Harry took the black pistol, placed it on the pound, and said, "This plus this, can you solve the trouble?" ”
What kind of organization, both money and force?
Dumbledore only thought that Harry Potter was a little too precocious. How exactly did the Dursleys teach?
But from the contact just now, at least Mrs. Dursley didn't have a good way to deal with Harry.
So, Harry Potter was born?
Or maybe it was under the influence of Voldemort.
No, if Voldemort is also such a salted fish. Where is there so much in the British wizarding world!
After thinking about it, Dumbledore didn't answer Harry's words, but said, "Wizards don't recognize this. ”
"Money, violence, power, all have magic. I think wizards are human too, and that's the case. My solution should be enough to deal with enough trouble. Harry just said lightly.
It's not that he doesn't know what the wizarding world is like in England.
A small circle of a few thousand people, Voldemort's influence has never crossed beyond the British Isles.
The world is so big, but the British wizarding landscape is so small.
He had a lot of means to deal with Voldemort.
A dead man, what is there to fear? Look at this dead man, half-dead and half-dead makes many people fearful.
The British wizarding world is too weak!
"Harry, do you know your parents?" Dumbledore said suddenly, he decided to use the killer weapon.
"I know. My aunt told me that they died in a car accident. Harry thought to Mrs. Dursley.
"No, it's not." Dumbledore sighed, he was now going to use Harry's background to convince Harry to learn magic.
"Your father, Jaime and Lily, was killed!"
"Oh~" Harry still said calmly, "Has the murderer been caught?" ”
"The murderer is dead. Your mother sacrificed her life to protect her and killed the murderer. Dumbledore said in a calm tone.
"Isn't that good? As long as I live happily, it is my parents' greatest wish. Harry said.
He also used to be a parent, and from the perspective of parents, he really just wants his children to grow up healthy.
If there is a chance, then it is even better! If it's not productive, it doesn't matter.
Dumbledore continued, "But that murderer is a very powerful dark mage, and he is not completely dead yet! He'll be back! Sooner or later, he will come back and you will face him! ”
"Harry, you have to prepare. Learning magic is your only chance to defeat him. ”
I have to say that what Dumbledore said was still very contagious.
However, Harry Potter has long been desensitized to things like drawing flatbread.
He looked at Dumbledore with incredulity.
"Are you asking me, a minor who can't drink, to take revenge with my own hands? Are wizards like this? ”
"Is there still a law? Is there still a royal law? ”
"......" Dumbledore felt that this little kid's brain circuit was going on, normal people heard the revenge of killing their parents, shouldn't it be the blood rushing to their heads, screaming for revenge?
He didn't know that Harry had already planned it, so he hurriedly said, "Of course...... Not now, of course! You're still young, and that's really not something you should be thinking about. However, you should learn magic, which is good for your growth! ”
Let an eleven-year-old boy avenge his parents and single-handedly take on the black magician.
Isn't that slapping him in the face of Dumbledore, the strongest wizard?
The two of them talked about some more yes and nos, seeing that Harry was determined not to go to Hogwarts, Dumbledore couldn't do anything in a short time!
In the end, he had no choice but to leave.
It's hard to say that someone like Harry is both assertive and stubborn.
There is a European proverb that says, "Don't change someone's mind easily, it's harder than pulling a tooth out of a lion's mouth!" ”
After Dumbledore was gone, Harry continued to play. Even if it's past ten o'clock in the evening.
Game consoles have been around since the mid-eighties, mainly Nintendo and Sega.
There are not only "Super Mario" but also "The Legend of Zelda", plus a group of other games, which cannot be said to be very interesting, only the playing time.
Harry plans to wait until the second half of the year to make a fortune from the great changes in the world, and then invest in the game industry to accelerate the iterative upgrading of the industry.
The world without video games is just too boring.
After a while, it was about eleven o'clock.
"Knock knock......" someone knocked on his bedroom door.
"Please come in!" Harry said.
It was his uncle, Vernon Dursley, who entered. Vernon saw Harry playing a game and said, "Busy, huh? ”
"It's fine! What's wrong? Harry glanced at him, didn't get up, and continued to play the game and earn points.
Although you live with salted fish, you can't play games with salted fish.
It was too easy to clear the level, and he had to surpass his previous points.
"That's right, I'm a little unsure about the business in the east." Vernon Dursley said.
"Oh?" Harry pressed the game pause, patted the couch next to him and said, "You sit down and speak slowly." ”
"At first, it was my sub-Fred who contacted ......," Vernon began to explain the matter from the beginning.
Harry listened to Vernon's ramblings, thought about it for a moment, and gave him a lot of advice.
For an old social animal who used to work in high-intensity marketing, a lot of experience was crushing for the early 90s. In this era when there is no PPT, it's really simple!
So he could help Vernon go from being an agricultural machinery salesman to a multinational agricultural machinery trade owner.
The two talked about some other things, and it was not until after twelve o'clock that Vernon went back to bed satisfied.
He still has to go to work tomorrow, he has to work hard, and he has to work!
He's only forty years old, and he still has a lot of good life!
Harry watched the cheap uncle leave, and now Vernon could earn more than he could have earned in his previous life.
Not to mention working overtime until eleven o'clock, even if he works overtime until dawn, he is also in good spirits!
A lot of people hate overtime simply because it's not payable and meaningless.
Finally all the chores and troubles were gone, and Harry could continue to lie on the couch and play games.
It wasn't until it was slightly bright that he was a little sleepy and went to bed.
As soon as I woke up, it was afternoon.
This is the day of the gods!
When Dumbledore returned, he didn't sleep much all night.
He was wondering what was wrong.
Why is Harry reluctant to come to Hogwarts?
How do you get Harry to come to Hogwarts?
After thinking about it all night and not figuring it out, he felt that he needed to have a meeting to discuss it.
The meeting was attended mainly by Professors Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall.
The former is related to Harry's mother, and the latter is the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts.
"That's how it happened!" Dumbledore took a sip of honey tea and told him what had happened last night.
"What? Lily's son doesn't want to come to Hogwarts! Snape's gloomy face became even more gloomy, and he said, "I think it's our great headmaster who has made this school fall so that the current little wizards don't choose Hogwarts." ”
Professor McGonagall was more serious, or she had always been: "Could it be that he doesn't have magic in his body, so he's not interested in magic." ”
"Hmm...... Don't worry, Harry wasn't a squib. I could feel the magic lurking within him. Dumbledore grabbed a handful of cockroach candy and shoved it into his mouth.
"Don't eat it! Hurry up and figure it out! Great Headmaster Dumbledore! Snape said in a strange voice.
"I really don't have a good way to do anything other than use the Imperius Curse!" Dumbledore shrugged at Snape.
"You ......" Snape was annoyed by Dumbledore's old slippery head.
"I think we need to be more patient in the area of education!" Professor McGonagall said that as a traditional and old-school teacher, she still feels that patience is key.
"So, I'd like to talk to Harry!" She said.
"Hmm...... You can too! Dumbledore groaned and said, "Minerva, be prepared to fail. ”
"Of course, it takes patience! I'll get ready a little bit, and I'll talk to Harry later! McGonagall nodded.
She was a man of her word, so she left the principal's office, changed her clothes, and went to London.
This time, I only came back in the evening.
"It's terrible! I never have! I've never seen a student like this! Professor McGonagall said as she paced back and forth in the Chancellor's office.
It could be seen that she was by Harry.
"What did he say?" Snape asked curiously.
Very few people can make McGonagall mad like this.
"He said an 'oh' word!" Professor McGonagall said.
"What?"
"No matter what I say, he just plays the game and says 'oh'! Completely ignoring me! Professor McGonagall said angrily, "He said I influenced him to break the record!" I waited for him to sleep until the afternoon before I knocked on his door! He's really not polite at all! ”
"Didn't you say you had to be patient with your students?" Snape swallowed, expressionless.
"But it has to be a student, not a salted fish!" Professor McGonagall said.
"Ha~" Dumbledore smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Minerva. Harry was small, but he was very assertive. We're going to think of something else! ”
"After all, it's hilarious to have Harry a non-Hogwarts student!" Snape excused.
"No, no, no, it's for Harry's good! His life had just begun, and it was not a good choice to reject magic rashly. Dumbledore said.
"I have a great idea!" Snape said suddenly.
"What?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"If he doesn't want to come to Hogwarts, why don't we teach him as a tutor?" Snape said with a blank face, making it impossible to see what he really thought!
