Culard Blaine is the owner of the drilling rig company where Uncle Vernon works.
If it had been two or three years ago, Harry might have been able to say his name without thinking, even if he had never met this person. This is not a strange thing, right? You often listen to family members discussing this name and his stories, so you will also be deeply impressed by this stranger you have never met.
In fact, the word "frequent" is a bit harsh to describe the frequency with which the Dursleys discussed Mr. Coulard Blaine, because the two of them almost talked about this man.
Whenever Uncle Vernon talks about the commendable welfare benefits of Uncle Vernon's company and the company's growth experience over the years, Uncle Vernon will always speak of Coulad Bray with the most respect. Mr. En and his wise and wise decisions.
That reverent and humble tone, to give an inappropriate example, Harry suddenly thought of the house elf named Dobby from the Malfoy family whom he met last school year, who had the same attitude when talking to him.
But in the two summer vacations since entering Hogwarts, Harry's impression was that he didn't hear the Dursleys discussing this person much. It turned out that he had this kind of paralysis. Cancer is considered an incurable disease.
"Oh, that's really unfortunate." Harry frowned and said in surprise, "When did it happen?"
"Two years or three or four years"
Aunt Petunia said dryly, "Anyway, this matter only spread in your uncle's company recently. Before, Vernon and his colleagues had been wondering why Mr. Blaine didn't show up more often. Before, he used to do it almost every day. They all arrived at the company on time, assigned tasks to Vernon and the others, and told them the direction of their efforts."
Hearing this, Harry finally understood what the Dursleys were planning. They hoped to use magic to Power can cure the disease of the boss of this drilling rig company
But is this allowed?
Harry pursed his lips tightly. He knew that the wizarding world has always had perfect laws. Wizards are prohibited from actively exposing the power of magic to Muggles. His roommate and best friend at Hogwarts, Ron's father, was engaged in this field.
"We are not allowed to show off like Muggles, I mean people who don't understand magic. You know, you have all seen it. I received a warning letter during the summer vacation last year"
After Harry's head turned rapidly for a few times, he gave his answer.
If the situation is right, Harry will definitely not object to using magic to save a person's life, but if the cost is, he may be expelled from Hogwarts, or even imprisoned in that terrible magic prison. , that’s two things to say.
"Vernon and I have already discussed this."
At this point, the conversation has reached the core of the problem, and Aunt Petunia said breathlessly,
"If someone gives you trouble, we'll help you explain. Many of Vernon's colleagues are thinkingTry your best to find doctors with super high medical skills. Of course, it is unlikely that the disease can be completely cured, but as long as it can help Mr. Blaine survive for two more days, or restore his energy, you know what we mean, Vernon. He has been in the position of supervisor for some years. He is very capable and should show his talents in a higher position,"
Aunt Petunia repeated again with emphasis,
"We think you should play a role in this matter, and I think you may think so too. After all, without us, you will be out on the streets."
Harry's whole body exudes resistance. Information, to be honest, he didn’t want to be associated with this troublesome matter, but Aunt Petunia, who had already spoken out, seemed unwilling to let go of this opportunity,
“You must have experienced this before. Sick people, what does St. Mungo's Hospital usually do? It's up to me and Vernon to consider the money, as long as they can come up with some symptomatic medicine."
Aunt Petunia It was a good question. Harry didn't know how capable St. Mungo's Hospital was. He was thinking about another question, that is, are there any wizards who have had cancer?
Harry racked his brains to think. Since I came into contact with the magic world, I have received information about the magic world in school, but no matter the daily conversations, the wizard weekly and newspapers I have read, the professor’s off-topic remarks in class, or every time I lie in the school hospital and listen to None of the strange illnesses that Madam Pomfrey mentioned about young wizards in the past seemed to be related to this aspect.
"You have to be grateful, kid"
Ha. Uncle Vernon, who was worried about his future, lost his temper because of Lee's long silence. He stepped on the wooden floor of the living room and almost cracked the kitchen door frame with his slap.
" We saved you from starving to death"
He stood at the kitchen door and growled at Harry,
"We gave you clothes to wear, sent you to school, and gave Dudley I will give you my old bedroom. If you know how to spell the word "gratitude", you should happily agree to it."
You adopted me because Muggle law requires you to do so. The reason why I was allowed to go to school was because it was free of charge, and Dudley didn’t want the clothes or the bedroom.
Irritated, Harry really wanted to say this, but he was worried that if he really said that, Dursley The family will lock him with an iron chain in the utility room under the stairs until he reaches adulthood and never let him return to Hogwarts.
"I have a condition."
After a long silence, Harry raised his head and looked at Uncle Vernon who was breathing heavily, and said with a gloomy face,
"You must return my magic book to me. I need to complete my summer homework"
"How dare you make conditions"
Uncle Vernon slapped the door frame that was about to fall apart and yelled viciously
" Look at your messy hair, how grateful you are, absolutely, I already knew your true face, boy"
"Vernon, neighborWe will hear it."
Aunt Petunia whispered a warning and looked at Harry. Her withered chest was bulging high. It seemed that Harry's ungrateful attitude also made her angry.
But in the face of her cold stare, Harry didn't give in. He had had enough of hiding in bed in the middle of the night and writing summer homework with a flashlight. If he didn't take this opportunity to put himself in trouble, After getting all the magic books back, it can be imagined that when the next semester starts, his Potions class professor will not let him go easily.
"You must promise"
After all. , Aunt Petunia gave in, her face turned blue, she gritted her teeth and spat out word after word,
"You won't make any weird noises, and you won't be allowed to mention your story in front of the neighbors. "It's a side matter"
"No problem"
Harry's heart quickened and he replied quickly. It was a great victory to make the Dursleys give in. However, He immediately added,
"I have to check on Mr. Blaine first."
Under Aunt Petunia's suddenly wary gaze, Harry shrugged Shoulder said,
"Only when I understand the situation first can I ask my friends to inquire. "
"Okay"
This is a reasonable request. Even Uncle Vernon couldn't fault it. He gasped and said reluctantly, < /p>
"Your aunt, Dudley, and I plan to visit tomorrow. You can come with us, but I have to warn you, kid."
Uncle Vernon was very oppressive. He felt a huge body with a threatening light in his eyes,
"Mr. Blaine is a very decent gentleman. If you dare to make some trouble in his home, boy, I guarantee you will regret it." "Born" please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
