Full of desire to survive, the pair of clever little guys came up with a solution in an instant.
"Mom, this is Hermione. She is also the classmate who was invited by Ron. She is the number one in the freshman class." In order not to be criticized in public, George quickly pulled Hermione as a shield.
"What a beautiful and smart boy. You must come to the Burrow as a guest during the summer vacation." The more Mrs. Weasley looked at Hermione, the more she liked her. As she spoke, she glanced at Ron without any trace, thinking that this child would grow up. For some snacks, it would be great if I could marry a girl home.
"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley, but the professor has assigned me new homework, so I will have time next year to bother you again." Although Hermione was very curious about the life of the wizarding family, the girl still politely refused Weasley. Mrs. Lai's invitation.
She remembered that Aini specifically said that Lulu did not have the ability of an owl to find people, it could only locate locations.
Therefore, before the manuscript of the book is collected, the girl does not plan to go anywhere else, even to accompany her parents to Barcelona to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
"That's such a pity, and so is your professor. How can he add so much burden to students during the summer." Mrs. Weasley was a little disappointed and muttered unhappily.
"My parents are here, please say goodbye now." Hermione felt a little unhappy when Ron's mother arranged for Aini. After saying hello to everyone, she ran towards her parents.
At this time, Uncle Vernon, who had been waiting impatiently, also came over. He swore that if Harry hadn't been so annoying, as a serious person, he would never have been so close to these weirdos.
Vernon stroked his beard and glared at Harry angrily, but what he saw was a forced and bright smile.
Although the boy tried his best to smile, his eyes were very complicated. Various emotions were mixed with a bit of fear, and a bit of admiration?
As if there was a flash of admiration that he had never seen in Harry's eyes before, Vernon subconsciously slowed down when he roared, which also made the originally aggressive scolding sound become normal words.
"Hurry up, Harry, your aunt is waiting for you at home." After saying this, Vernon was stunned for a moment. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had spoken to Harry in a soft voice.
"Okay, uncle. I'll be right away." After saying goodbye to everyone, Harry quickly chased Vernon and ran towards the car on the side of the road.
The twins and Ron looked at each other in confusion. Harry's uncle didn't seem to be as grumpy as he said.
"Boy, put your bird away when you get home, or I'll throw it outside." As if he was a little confused by his attitude just now, after Harry got in the car, Vernon shouted to him in a deliberately evil voice. One sentence.
I thought the boy would be as arrogant as before, but the answer he received was very submissive.
"Don't worry, uncle, I will be careful. I was wrong before and always made you angry. I will correct it in the future." After all, after thinking about some things, his mood was different. Even if Vernon's attitude was not good, Harry Still smiled gently.
"Squeak!" Confused by Harry's attitude, Vernon slammed on the brakes.
Fortunately, the car had just started, otherwise there would have been an accident. But even so, the people and items in the car swayed forward, and even Hedwig flapped his wings dissatisfiedly in the cage.
"It's okay, good boy." Harry quickly coaxed his bird. If it made more noise, his uncle would be angry again.
After parking the car on the side of the road, Vernon turned around, looked at Harry and said word by word: "Boy, what are you doing? Don't think about making any demands, I won't accept this."
"I didn't ask for it. Really, what I just said was true." Harry explained while taking out an envelope from his arms.
"I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you before. I was always dissatisfied with my treatment at that time, and a professor woke me up when I was in school." Harry said as he handed over the letter in his hand.
"Thank you and my aunt for your kindness in raising me. My parents left me tuition fees in the wizarding world. This was exchanged with the school professor. From now on, I will save some money and convert it into pounds to subsidize my family every year to support my family. Do your part.”
Vernon opened his mouth, and it took him a while to swallow the curse words or something else.
"Harry...wait a moment, wait a moment, let me slow down." Vernon took the envelope and opened it and took a look. Thirty-five large-value British pounds were lying inside, folded into a pile that was neither thin nor thick ( da).
He kept the envelope aside and felt a bunch of words popping up in his mind. Unfortunately, he seemed to have suddenly forgotten what English was, and he couldn't recognize any of them.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Harry, stay in the car and don't move. I'm going to call Petunia."
"ah!"
Vernon was so dizzy that he was about to get out of the car, but he bumped into the door frame.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked concernedly. Vernon had hit him hard just now, and the whole car shook.
"I'm busy... No, of course I'm fine. Don't worry about it. Boy, you just need to sit quietly in the car and don't go anywhere until I come back. Do you understand?"
Although Vernon's tone was still vicious, Harry always felt that something was different from before.
After receiving Harry's confirmation, Vernon walked towards the public phone booth with his belly swaying.
Harry held Hedwig's cage in the back seat, put his fingers inside and caressed the snowy owl's smooth feathers, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned upward.
At present, things seem to be progressing quite smoothly. It can be seen from Uncle Vernon's realization that his words still have a great impact on him.
Even his tone was just pretending to be vicious, rather than the instinctive viciousness like before.
Thinking of the conversation with Ani that day, Harry suddenly felt that even if the Dursleys' attitude towards him had not changed, he should repay them.
Not every sister and brother-in-law can take great risks and financial burdens to adopt the remaining orphan after their sister's family is attacked by a mysterious force they are completely unaware of.
Even if they still refuse to accept the existence of magic in the world, they regard themselves as taboo and alien.
At least, Harry had to do something for them in the days before he became an adult, in order to repay his aunt and uncle for their upbringing.
At worst, I will stop contacting them and just give them some help secretly.
In Harry's mind, almost half an hour passed before Uncle Vernon came back with a big belly.
This time he didn't hit the door frame, but it took him a few ignitions to get the car started.
London is huge, but as long as you go in the right direction, the distance will always shrink, and they are getting closer and closer to their home on Privet Drive.
During this journey, the two people in the car kept silent in unison, and even Hedwig stopped urging Harry to play with it.
"Boy, I think we should talk, you, your aunt, and me, just tonight, how about it?" The phone call just now seemed to consume too much of Vernon's experience, and now he spoke clearly There was an unconcealable feeling of exhaustion.
"I'd be happy to," Harry replied cheerfully.
He had already seen the sign for Privet Drive in front of him, he was about to get home.
