Harry had been feeling pretty good in the past month.
Although he only stayed in the foster home for one night, the children there were extremely friendly to him. Even after he left, several older children would often come to visit him - although the foster home was a few kilometers away from the Dursleys' home, These children all have bicycles, so commuting is not a problem.
Even the missionary school they attended was very close to Harry's school.
It was also because of these children's platform that although his cousin Dudley still always showed a ferocious expression to him, he did not dare to take advantage of him easily.
Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon didn't even dare to abuse him, let him live in the stairwell, locked him in a cupboard, and forced him to work.
And he also vacated the smallest room in the house for him to live in-it was in the attic.
However, they didn't want to talk to Harry anymore, and adopted a cold and violent attitude of indifference.
But Harry didn't care at all about this indifference.
On the contrary, I am extremely satisfied with having my own private space.
Until this day, he received a letter, a letter sent by an owl.
Yes, because he moved into a separate room in advance, Harry's notice was not put into the Dursley's mailbox. The owl that delivered the letter flew directly into the attic where he lived.
Harry was naturally surprised when he saw an owl delivering a message for the first time.
But he was soon diverted by the content of the letter.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Magic?" Harry thought for a moment, and it seemed that today wasn't April Fools' Day either.
If it were in the past, when there was no one else to rely on, and Harry encountered something like this that he couldn't understand, the only person he could think of was Uncle Vernon, who hated him so much.
But now, he has a new backer.
So Harry quietly went out with the notice and found the community priest Thomas, the one who had always come to help him.
"You said that child took the notice from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and went to your place?" John, who was about to go out to pick up Hermione to Diagon Alley, was a little confused when he received a call from Thomas.
The current situation was indeed somewhat beyond his expectation.
After all, in the original book, due to the Dursleys, Harry was never able to read the content of the letter and restricted his movements. Therefore, in the end, Hagrid had to personally deliver the notice to Harry. inside.
"Yes, but I don't know what the situation is like at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so I can only ask you!" Thomas on the other end of the phone said cautiously.
Father Thomas was just an ordinary community pastor and was originally not qualified to contact John directly. The previous matter was also designated by John through the archdiocese.
Even Thomas didn't even know John existed.
It wasn't until Dumbledore personally came to John's door last time and asked John to say hello to the local church to release the Dursleys that John officially left his contact information with the other party.
When he first saw the Hogwarts admission letter, he subconsciously thought that someone was playing a prank on Harry, so he wanted to report this to John.
But John's current reaction made him feel that he had been exposed to something extraordinary.
"Please treat Harry well first, and I'll call you back later!" John said after pondering for a few seconds.
"Yes, sir!" Father Thomas replied.
After hanging up the phone, John first called Hermione and told her that the plan had changed, and made a promise of N ice creams. Then he walked to the fireplace at home and used the Floo network to reach Hogwarts directly. .
After John joined Hogwarts, he had the permission to connect the floo network to the school's fireplace, which made his work process much more convenient.
He went all the way to the eighth floor, knocked on the mural on the wall, and after confirming from the other party that Dumbledore was in the office, he followed the password provided by the other party and entered the office.
"Ah, Professor Capet, why did you suddenly come to see me?" Dumbledore was a little surprised by John's visit.
John didn't waste any time and directly told the old man about Harry's situation.
After hearing what John said, Dumbledore couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"Professor Capet, can I trust you?" After a long time, Dumbledore asked again.
"No, you can't!" John said decisively.
Even though Dumbledore, who had lived for more than a hundred years and had seen all the big scenes, was confused by John's weird answer, he stared at John without saying a word for a long time.
"Don't look at me like that, because when most people ask this question, it basically means trouble, and I happen to hate trouble!" Faced with Dumbledore's gaze, John rolled his eyes.
"Haha, I think this just shows that you are a trustworthy person!" Hearing John say this, Dumbledore laughed instead.
John was speechless and immediately understood that this old man didn't want to lose face.
Sure enough, Dumbledore immediately took out a golden key and put it on the table, pushed it in front of John and said, "This is the key to the Potter family in Gringotts. I want to ask you to go there and meet Dursley." The family said hello, and then explained everything about Hogwarts to Harry, and took him to get some money to buy items needed for his new life - the property left by the Potter family is not a small amount, and I would not give it to others. So reassuring.”
Seeing Dumbledore's "I trust you" look, John had the urge to throw the key to his head.
The other party obviously knew that John was rich, and very rich! Most likely he said this because he looked down on Potter's family background.
You really have to trust me and give me the key to the Philosopher's Stone if you are able!
"Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid this is not within my responsibilities!" John twitched his lips and said, can you just let Hagrid go and get it over with?
"Oh, of course I understand, but Professor Capet, there is really no one in the entire Hogwarts who is more influential in the Muggle world than you, who understands Muggles and is good at dealing with Muggles. I can't find another person who can handle this matter properly. I believe you can understand the helplessness of an old guy in this matter." Dumbledore said with a somewhat depressed look, "And I think an old guy who is willing to The church staff who help others will not see an orphan delay his studies due to the influence of some worldly things, right?"
After listening to Dumbledore's words, John suddenly became angry. This old guy started acting for him, right?
Believe it or not, I will send you a confession?
However, after glancing around Lao Deng's office, a smile appeared on John's lips, "This matter is indeed not difficult for me, but for me personally, it is more or less a trouble. I think Mr. Principal, You shouldn’t be stingy with a small reward, right?”
"What do you want?" Seeing the smile on John's face, Dumbledore had a strange look on his face.
It's not that he is stingy, but to put it bluntly, this matter is not a big deal, it is just a little troublesome. If you really pay him, you can't give him anything good. If you really quote a price, it would be an insult to John if you don't say it is nice. He didn't mention it, but assigned the task to the other party in this joking way.
As a result, the other party actually offered to pay?
Once again, he felt a little confused about the young man's thoughts now.
But John's next behavior left him speechless.
