Chapter 694: Change or Not Change

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and the Dursleys all shivered in fright.

Harry didn't have time to scare them anymore, so he rushed to the door and ran to open the door for Dumbledore and Fish.

Aunt Peggy opened her mouth, trying to stop Harry's movements, but in the end she couldn't say anything. She could only watch helplessly as he ushered in Dumbledore, who was carrying a tabby cat.

"Harry, good evening meow!"

(≧≦)

Fish jumped off Dumbledore's shoulders, greeted Harry cheerfully, and then looked at the sofa in the living room with a pair of big green eyes.

"Meow?"

Cat tilted her head and looked curiously at the Dursleys huddled on the sofa.

Then……

"ha--!"

(`Д)

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

"Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"

"We're not bullying Harry anymore!"

The three of them were so frightened that they held their heads and shouted.

"Meow hahahaha!"

(`▽)

Feishu, who succeeded in the prank, put her hands on her hips and laughed.

"Fish..." Dumbledore patted the little fur cat on the back with laughter, then looked at the Dursleys, and apologized on behalf of the cat: "I'm sorry, this child is a bit naughty, but please don't worry, he is just I’m just scaring you, I won’t actually do anything.”

However, the Dursleys did not believe a word of Dumbledore's words. Vernon was beaten by the little boy Fish until he could only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

Dumbledore didn't care what they thought. He closed the door and walked into the living room.

"It's been a long time since I last came here." He said as he walked away: "I must admit, your agapanthus is blooming very luxuriantly."

Vernon Dursley said nothing. After confirming that Fish was not planning to take action, he finally regained some courage, stood up from the sofa, and then stood in front of Peggy and Dudley with a vigilant look on his face... This was probably his only chance. Advantages.

"Ah, good evening, Harry." Dumbledore then remembered to say hello to Harry. He looked at Harry from behind the half-moon glasses with a very satisfied expression on his face, "That's great, that's great. alright."

"Good evening, Professor." Harry asked excitedly, "Are we leaving now?"

"Of course," Dumbledore nodded and said, "As long as your luggage has been packed." He glanced in the direction of the sofa and chuckled: "Your uncle and aunt don't seem to welcome us."

Harry shrugged.

"Please wait a moment, my luggage has been prepared!" He ran upstairs at a sprint speed, and soon returned to the living room with his suitcase and Hedwig's cage.

And when he returned to the living room, he found that Fish had found all Dudley's snacks out of nowhere and was about to exchange them with him for snacks from the wizarding world.

But there was something wrong with Cat's choice of snacks, so when he handed over the pile of cockroaches in his hand, even Dudley, who always liked to eat, started barking, and Aunt Petunia's screams made it even worse. The glass was shattered.

"You don't like meow?"

(ω)

Fish scratched his head in confusion, then replaced the pile of cockroaches in his hands with chocolate frogs...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-!!!" Aunt Petunia continued to scream.

Cat, who found it very interesting, took out another ice mouse from his pocket.

Petunia Dursley: "Ahhhhhhhh-!!!"

Fisch: (ω)

Then the cat took out a series of moving snacks such as sizzling bees, fudge flies, jelly slugs, peppermint toads, etc., successfully frightening the Dursleys and Aunt Petunia. My voice almost went hoarse.

"Ahem... Professor, I'm ready." Harry suppressed a smile and said, "Also, Fish, I think it would be more appropriate for you to trade Bibi's All-flavored Beans and Pepper Little Naughty for Dudley. ”

He was also holding something bad in his heart. Not to mention snacks like Bibi's multi-flavor beans that might have weird flavors, the Pepper Naughty Man could make people breathe fire out of their noses.

Dumbledore obviously knew, but he just watched with a smile.

Fei Xu scratched his head again, "Is that so?"

(ω)

Then he followed Harry's suggestion and took out a large box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans and three cans of Pepper Naughty, pushed them in front of Dudley, picked a few of each from Dudley's snacks, and stuffed them into himself in the magic pocket.

Although Dudley looked longingly at the wizard snacks in front of him, he didn't dare to reach out to take them because of his experience with the Fat Tongue Toffee. He didn't even dare to get angry at Fish for snatching his snacks. Word.

"Very good." Dumbledore stood up, "Then it's time for us to say goodbye."

He led Harry and Fish toward the gate, and used magic to send his luggage and Hedwig to the Black ancestral home.

However, when they had just reached the door of the living room, Dumbledore suddenly turned around again, "By the way, there is one last thing," he said to the startled Dursleys: "You are undoubtedly I also realize that Harry will be an adult in another year..."

"No, he's not yet an adult." Aunt Petunia mustered up the courage to retort: ​​"He's a month younger than Dudley, and Dudley won't turn eighteen until the year after tomorrow."

"Ah," Dumbledore said kindly, "but in the wizarding world, one becomes an adult when he reaches seventeen."

Uncle Vernon muttered "ridiculous," but Dumbledore ignored him.

"Fifteen years ago I placed him on your steps with a letter explaining that his parents had been murdered and hoping that you would care for him as you would your own child."

Dumbledore stopped. Although his voice was still so relaxed and calm, and his face did not show the slightest anger, there was a definite chill that made the Dursleys squeeze closer to each other.

"You didn't do what I told you. You never regarded Harry as your own son. All he got in your hands was neglect and constant abuse. Fortunately, he at least escaped you and sat there. That terrible damage caused by that unlucky boy among you."

Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon both turned their eyes instinctively, as if expecting to see someone else, not Dudley, huddled between them.

"We tortured Dudley? Are you...?" Uncle Vernon said angrily.

But Dumbledore raised his hand for silence, and the room fell silent, as if he had rendered Uncle Vernon mute.

"The spell I cast fifteen years ago means that while Harry can still call this place his home, he will have strong protection. No matter how pitiful, unwelcome, and abused he may be here, You at least gave him a place, reluctantly, when Harry turns seventeen, that is, when he becomes a man."

He briefly thought about the Dursleys and Harry, explained why he wanted Harry to live here, and then said plainly but unquestionably: "I only ask for one thing: you allow Harry to live here before his seventeenth birthday." His return to this home will ensure that protective power continues until then."

None of the Dursleys said a word. Dudley frowned slightly, as if he was still wondering what kind of abuse he had received. Uncle Vernon looked like he had something stuck in his throat. Aunt Petunia's face turned red for no apparent reason.

"Okay," Dumbledore said, nodding slightly to the Dursleys, "See you next time." Then, Dumbledore put on his hat and walked quickly to the door.

Judging from the expressions on Vernon's and others' faces, they probably hoped to never see each other again.

"Goodbye." Harry said goodbye hastily to the Dursleys and followed them out.

"Bye Meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

Fish waved politely to them.

However, Maomao's movement of raising his hand scared the three of them and huddled together again.

The three of them walked out of the Dursley's house and onto the foggy street.

"Okay, Fish, Harry, let's go into the night and chase that frivolous and seductive temptress - take the risk."

Those snacks are all available in HP itself, so the snacks in the wizarding world are far more than piles of cockroaches... there are everything from flies to slugs.

To put it bluntly, I can still accept cockroaches and flies, which are not real anyway, but slugs... they must taste terrible...
