The Hogwarts Express arrived at the station smoothly, and the little wizards got off the train one after another.
Ron, Malfoy, and Neville also said goodbye to Dudley one by one.
Dudley and the others walked out of the station with their luggage.
This time, neither the Grangers nor Vernon were late again. The three of them were waiting for Dudley and the others at the entrance of Kingdom Cross Station early.
Hermione got into Mr. Granger's car, while Dudley and the others got into Vernon's car.
Dudley and Hermione made an appointment to meet in two weeks.
The two cars were basically the same except for the color. They were obviously purchased together of the same model. By the way, the trunk was filled with fishing equipment. It was obvious at a glance that Vernon had a fishing date with Mr. Granger.
By the way, Vernon's belly is much smaller.
"Why isn't mom here?" Dudley asked as soon as he got in the car.
Logically speaking, Petunia would not let Vernon come here alone. She would definitely be with Vernon. There must be something wrong with her not being here.
"You'll find out soon." Vernon said mysteriously, "This is a surprise."
Then no matter how Dudley and Harry asked, he refused to reveal more.
However, the unstoppable smile on his face still betrayed him, which seemed to be a good thing.
Soon, Dudley and the others returned to the familiar old place.
No. 4 Privet Drive.
They moved their luggage into their homes one by one. Because of the Traceless Stretching Charm, the luggage they brought didn't seem to be much.
When Dudley came back this time, he felt something was wrong. There seemed to be many different things in the house.
Penny is not in the kitchen.
Penny is not in the living room.
Penny is still not there on the second floor.
Just when Dudley was about to ask Vernon, Petunia slowly walked out of the bedroom on the first floor.
Dudley was stunned for a moment.
I saw that Penny's originally flat belly had now swelled to a huge size, as if it were filled with several rubber balls, and was extremely round.
"This is."
Dudley looked at Petunia slightly blankly, and Harry was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
This situation was beyond his expectation.
"pregnant?"
If you still can't understand this, you're really stupid. It can't be that Penny has a tumor in her belly.
"Congratulations, Dudley and Harry, you are going to be brothers."
Petunia gently stroked her belly and whispered.
Needless to say, it must have been Vernon's fault.
"When is the due date?"
Dudley and Harry quickly helped Petunia to her seat, fearing that she would be injured.
"It's about two weeks away."
There were still two weeks to go before October was pregnant, which meant that it wouldn't be long before he and Harry went to Hogwarts.
It was all Vernon's doing!
"Hey, I said it was a surprise, right? Kids, how about this surprise?"
Vernon parked the car at this time and walked out of the door into the hallway.
It was indeed a big surprise.
'Being a brother again. '
Dudley was actually very happy, and then began to think about whether to change Vernon's house.
Although the environment on Privet Drive is good, it is still a bit far from the city, and it is still not convenient to go to the hospital.
"Hey kids, are you all hungry? I'll cook today."
Vernon tied an apron around his waist and picked up Petunia's usual spatula.
"Try my skills. I've learned a lot recently."
This is the first time I've seen Vernon cook. This guy usually doesn't even bother to heat bacon.
Now that I want to cook, can I eat it?
As if feeling the suspicious looks from the two of them, Vernon muttered in dissatisfaction: "Don't underestimate me, who do you think was responsible for cooking before Petunia and I got married?"
"I'm going to show you my skills today."
"Have a big dinner tonight."
So the question becomes, why does it disappear after marriage?
Soon Dudley and Harry knew the answer.
Vernon kicked everyone out of the kitchen, and was alone in there 'knocking' for a while before serving today's dinner.
A slightly battered omelette, a large pot of simmered sauerkraut sausage, a black unknown substance, and a canned smoked fish, that's all the dishes for today.
"."
Dudley and Harry looked at the miserable food on the table speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
Harry looked at Dudley, and Dudley looked at Petunia. Petunia shook her head to indicate that she was not hungry.
Reluctantly, Dudley got a little sauerkraut on his fork and put it in his mouth.
Then Dudley fell silent.
At that moment, he seemed to taste the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, and countless flavors bloomed in his taste buds, but one key flavoring was missing——
No salt.
Harry saw Dudley eating some, and he picked up his fork. First of all, he definitely didn't touch the black stuff, nor the sauerkraut sausage Dudley had just eaten, nor the canned smoked fish. Instead, he aimed at the fried eggs.
Even if you make something like an omelette in a bad way, it's still not inedible.
The moment he put the fried egg in his mouth, he knew he was wrong, and very wrong.
There is a lot of sugar in the omelette, and it is very sweet.
"My craftsmanship is pretty good, right?" Vernon said shamelessly when he saw the two brothers didn't speak for a long time after eating. He thought he was shocked by his own craftsmanship.
I was really shocked, I didn't expect it to taste so bad.
Although Vernon's attitude of taking the initiative to do housework is good, it's a pity that he doesn't have the talent.
Dudley stood up silently and walked into the kitchen.
No wonder Penny won't let you cook. Eating this every day will sooner or later ruin your stomach.
Not long after, Dudley came out carrying several plates of fragrant dishes.
Both Petunia and Harry were very self-conscious, each picked up the tableware and enjoyed the food.
Vernon was the only one who kept mumbling very dissatisfiedly.
Until he took a bite of his own food and another bite of Dudley's food.
Then he stopped talking and started eating.
Brother Xun has a good saying: 'Without comparison, there is no harm. '
Dudley secretly decided that he would be responsible for the food during the period before Petunia gave birth.
Otherwise it will be bad for the child's development.
Hanging around with Vernon, I'll be hungry for nine meals in three days.
After eating and resting for a while, Dudley, Harry and Vernon walked to the yard.
It’s time to start my evening exercise routine again.
"Don't think that your father only knows about eating. I exercise every day." In order to enhance his persuasion, Vernon took off his shirt and waved his thick arms vigorously.
Regardless of the intensity of Vernon's exercise, it is true that he has exercised. His muscle density has increased a lot, and his body fat rate has also dropped.
Although he still looks fat, he should actually be strong.
Vernon was still feeling smug until he saw Harry taking off his shirt and exercising.
Harry looks thin and small, but in fact he is full of muscles under his clothes. After all, I had been training with Dudley for two years. If I didn't even have this little muscle, it would be over.
Then Dudley took off his shirt
Vernon was silent for a while and put on his coat silently.
