The interior decoration of the house is worthy of its magnificent and luxurious appearance. Every piece of mahogany floor in the spacious living room is as smooth as new, as if it has been wiped with stain remover. A lamp made of thousands of pure crystals The large chandelier hung from the fifty-foot-high ceiling, shining brightly under the sunlight that poured into the room.
Lawrence, the manor’s butler, led the frightened Dursleys to the right side of the living room, rounded several corners, and stood in front of an elevator hall.
Vertical elevators are generally only found in Muggle shopping malls and high-rise office buildings. Even Harry was somewhat surprised that there was an elevator in this building. It seemed that, Uncle Vernon's boss was indeed a very rich fellow.
"Sorry, Vernon"
The elevator dinged and stopped on the third floor. When they stepped out of the elevator car, the manor butler Lawrence turned his head and looked at the man who could only show flattery. The smiling Dursleys said apologetically,
"Mr. Blaine is currently receiving treatment. According to the doctor's instructions, he will not be able to see you for about two hours. Can I trouble you to wait in the living room for a while?" Will you?"
"Of course, Mr. Lawrence"
Uncle Vernon nodded repeatedly, "Everything will be at your discretion."
When several young After the maid served them tea and closed the door of the living room, there was a sound of exhalation in the elegantly decorated living room. Uncle Vernon, who had been carrying a big belly for a long time, was too tired and walked directly to the living room. Collapsed on the soft sofa.
"This house is really luxurious, Vernon"
Aunt Petunia's voice was trembling with excitement,
"I dare say, if Even knew I have been a guest in such a gorgeous manor, and she will be extremely envious."
Harry raised his eyebrows, Yvonne was a good friend of Aunt Petunia, and the two of them loved to discuss the neighbors. Gossip.
"Mr. Blaine inherited the manor and the drilling rig company from his father," Uncle Vernon said to Aunt Petunia and Dudley. "He was only in his early twenties at that time. All People don’t think highly of him, thinking he will make a mess of a company that is already in a bad situation, but who would have thought that he would bring the company out of the quagmire with his intelligence and diligence."
In fact Uncle Vernon has said these things countless times at home, and even Harry himself is familiar with them, but Uncle Vernon always takes the trouble to tell everyone again and again.
"It's admirable how I behaved just now, Mom and Dad"
Dudley stood up and tried to smooth out the wrinkles on his belly, but after a few attempts, he Knowing that he was just wasting his efforts, he raised his head and looked at his parents with a disgusting smile.
"Brilliant, my darling"
Aunt Petunia immediately stood up and hugged one of Dudley's arms, her eyes sparkling with tears of pride
p>
"There is no oneA little rude, but a standard little gentleman."
"He is as courageous as his father who has seen big scenes."
Uncle Vernon also chuckled.

Dudley shook his chin proudly. He looked at Harry, who was sitting there without saying a word and expressionless. A malicious light suddenly appeared in his little eyes,
" Oh, but I think one of us here seems to have been frightened, right?"
"Even if you were frightened, I wouldn't do that"
I understood immediately Who was Dudley talking about? Harry said angrily. He saw that the Dursleys seemed to be ready to scold him again, so he took the lead and said in a fast tone, "Yesterday you told me a lot This time, without your permission, I am not allowed to move around or say another word."
"Okay, boy, I guess you still have some memory." Uncle Vernon took a breath and muttered, But then, his tone became domineering again,
"When you see Mr. Blaine later, you should know what you are doing."
"Yes.
Harry said dullly, "Observe Mr. Blaine's physical condition carefully. When you ask Mr. Blaine's physical condition in a clever way, keep your ears open and don't allow you to miss a word." . ”
“Very good. "
Uncle Vernon drank all the black tea in the exquisite tea cup and nodded with satisfaction,
"When the meeting is over, I will talk to Mr. Blaine's butler. Say, we have a friend who is very good at dealing with this disease. Everyone knows that having this problem is a dead end, but Lawrence is helpless now. As long as you promise him that you can give him something to help Mr. Blaine regain his energy. He is willing to persuade Mr. Blaine to try any method."
When he heard Uncle Vernon's specific request yesterday, the first thing that came to Harry's mind was the refreshing potion. It has side effects, is very common in the wizarding world, and is easy to buy. He has drank it many times himself.
Harry believed that if he sent Ron a letter, he could easily help. Get yourself a big jar
Of course, the biggest question is still whether giving the wizard's potion to unsuspecting Muggles violates the wizard's secrecy law, and whether the circumstances are serious
On the way here, Harry was still thinking about these issues. According to his guess, this should not be a serious mistake. Think about it, how many Muggle-born wizards are there in the wizarding world now? Those wizards all have Muggle family members, so what if their family members have some problems that Muggle hospitals are not good at treating? In all likelihood, they will use the power of magic to help.
There was another thing that made him determined to do this without fear of punishment, and that was when Dobby blocked platform nine and three-quarters at the beginning of the second year, causing him and Ron to miss the Hogwarts Express. There was no choice but to do so. The two of them can only drive Mr. WeasleyThat magically modified car headed for Hogwarts
You know, Ron's father, Mr. Weasley, specializes in prohibiting wizards from misbehaving, but he took the lead in violating it, which made Harry One thing I understand is that in the wizarding world, there are probably not many wizards who follow the rules in private but on the surface.
"Oh, come and take a look at this picture, Petunia and Dudley"
The waiting is always long and boring, and the bored Uncle Vernon visited the drawing room. A week of commemorative photos hung on the wall. He stopped in front of a gray and white photo at the door, pointed at it and said,
"This is a photo taken with everyone when Mr. Blaine just took over the company. , he was handsome and handsome at that time, and many girls in the company admired him. Ah, I was really thin at that time, less than 200 pounds."
Yes, he is only two pounds heavier than me. More times
Harry looked at Uncle Vernon's fat body and nodded with sadness.
There are pictures of Dudley everywhere in the Dursley family, but there are very few about the couple, and they are basically in their bedroom, which is absolutely the same place as Dudley's bedroom. Harry was prohibited from entering. In the years before he went to Hogwarts, Aunt Petunia was personally responsible for the sanitation of those two houses.
Looking at the three people talking fiercely in front of the photo, Harry, who was sitting obediently on the chair, couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Just when Harry was wondering whether Uncle Vernon was really a little thinner than a whale when he was young, the door of the living room opened quietly, and the young man who led them earlier He is not young, but his behavior is still polite, and the old butler who looks quite kind appears again, but there is a deep worry on his eyebrows
"Mr. Blaine is very tired, Vernon, let's meet It's best to keep the time within five minutes.
Uncle Vernon nodded and bowed in agreement. When the old butler walked out of the living room first, he immediately turned his head and waved to Harry,
"Come here, boy, this place is huge. If you get lost, by the time the staff here find you, you might have been dried"
If possible, Harry really wanted to Taking the Dursleys to visit Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry so that they could know what a magnificent castle is, he stood up slowly and walked towards the door with a sullen face, passing by the one that Uncle Vernon had mentioned earlier. When taking the photo, he glanced at it subconsciously.
哐啷
As everyone turned around and stared in astonishment, Harry opened his mouth, ignoring the bruise on his forehead and just stared blankly. Staring blankly at the man standing among the people in the photo, he murmured in disbelief,
