Chapter 276 Scary People, Scary to Death
"Quickly apologize to Brother D!"
"Look! She's trembling!"
"Hahaha! I'm sure she's scared enough to pee her pants!"
"At such an old age, you actually squat on the ground like a beaten kid, I'm dying of laughter... Hahahaha..."
"Come on, Gordon! That's not the case with that wretched kid from Mark Evans!"
At the entrance of Magnolia Crescent Street, Dudley and his gang of cronies were standing around the side of the road, pointing at the huddled figure in the middle, and letting out wild laughs.
But the object they were bullying made Harry feel a little complicated.
It was that woman again, but the feelings she brought to Harry were completely different in the two encounters.
Speaking of the previous time, Harry was always wary of her, and that doubt was not the slightest bit! He even thought that the woman was most likely a Death Eater trying to turn him against him.
But when they met again now, it was hard for him to imagine that a cunning and murderous Death Eater would be bullied by a group of Muggles like this.
If the other party hides his identity from him, it may be that he has scruples about Hogwarts and wants to test it out before making a move; but what reason is there to do so when facing a group of Muggles?
This only proves that maybe that woman really just asked him for directions. Moreover, she doesn't seem to be a bad person, she's just shy by nature...
Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help feeling annoyed again. Dudley and his group of bad partners are bullying the weak again!
"Hey, Brother D!"
Hearing someone behind him calling him, Dudley turned around.
"Oh," he muttered, "it's you..."
"When did you become 'Brother D'?" Harry, who was already depressed, suddenly asked sarcastically.
"Shut up!" Dudley yelled viciously.
"That's a pretty cool name," Harry grinned, passing Dudley and standing beside the woman, "but in my opinion, you'll always be 'Dada Baby'… ...What, are you bullying others again?"
"You shut up!" said Dudley, clenching his fat hands as thick as Jinhua ham into fists.
"Yeah! Shut up, you skinny monkey!" "Do you want to try Brother D's right hook too?"
Those few friends of his also got together, and you helped me with each other. But Harry turned his head suddenly, and gave the two who shouted the loudest a hard look.
"Huh?" He snorted coldly, "I just came back from St. Bruce (Safety Center School for Juvenile Offenders), how many more dare to provoke me?"
At this moment, the guy who was yelling just now became hoarse, as if his whole body tensed up.
Harry couldn't help blinking a few more times, because he was just trying to imitate Maca, but the effect was surprisingly good.
The bad rumors that the Dursleys had spread to him were also one of the reasons why Harry was depressed. But he didn't expect that sometimes seemingly useless things will work in unexpected times.
"My cousin, you haven't answered my question..." Harry paused, then turned his head and asked Dudley, "Why did you bully her? Don't tell me, you use your so-called ' Boxing' is bullying a woman!"
"I didn't!" Dudley said, looking at Harry through gritted teeth. "She didn't look at the road and hit me! Then she squatted there and shivered endlessly! Does this have anything to do with me?"
He was trying to hold himself back from hitting Harry, which seemed to take all his self-control.
"Really?" Harry curled his lips in disbelief, "I bumped into you, and then squatted here by myself afraid of being like this? Are you kidding me?"
"I just scolded her, who would have guessed that this woman would be so timid?" Dali said vigorously, and if you look carefully, you can even find the muscles on his cheeks twitching, "What else do you want?" I tell you, Potter boy! I'm not afraid of you!"
"Aren't you afraid of me? Then what are you afraid of?" Harry smiled wickedly,
Stretching his hand into his pocket, he said slowly, "Tell me quickly... If you are right, I will reward you..."
"No, you can't! You can't use it!" Dudley immediately fixed his eyes on Harry's hand, and said quickly, "I know you can't! You'll be expelled from that freaking school you went to! "
"Brother D, what are you talking about?" A friend beside Dudley asked in a low voice.
Seeing his timidity, Dudley's friends felt even more guilty, and dared not even speak too loudly.
After all, they were only half-children, and usually relied on Dudley's height and strength to be so unscrupulous. Seeing that the leader was timid, how could they not feel guilty?
"Can't you? How do you know they haven't changed the regulations, Brother D?" Harry suddenly chuckled, and made a gesture with his right hand to pull it out.
"Do not"
Dudley took a few steps back almost reflexively.
The last time the Weasleys came to Privet Drive to pick Harry up for the Quidditch World Cup, the two brothers Fred and George gave him a hard time, and his tongue was swollen to more than four feet. long.
It has to be said, that left a deep imprint on Dudley's heart. Those freaks who called themselves wizards were nothing short of devils!
"If you didn't hold that thing, you wouldn't have the guts to challenge me, would you?" Dudley's confidence was obviously much weaker, at least he didn't even dare to approach Harry even half a step now.
"What about you, you need four guys to support you before you dare to bully a woman?" Harry sneered.
"I said I didn't do anything to her!" said Dudley viciously. "If you dare to pull out that thing, you just wait! I'm going to tell Daddy about you"
"Run home to find Dad, didn't you?" Harry interrupted him immediately, contemptuously, "His little boxing champion is in trouble, and he just gets into Dad's arms?"
Harry boldly took another step forward, and seeing that Dudley subconsciously backed away, he couldn't help being happy.
It seems that even most of the recent depression has been vented with today's behavior.
"shut up!"
Dudley was in a stalemate for a while, seeing that Harry seemed to be leaning over again, he hurriedly yelled sternly, and then walked quickly towards home without looking back.
But at this moment, the street suddenly became dark, as if a thick black velvet tablecloth fell from the sky, covering the entire street.
Immediately afterwards, a bone-piercing chill submerged everything unconsciously. Dudley, Harry, the woman squatting on the ground, and Dudley's group of friends all felt as if they were soaked in ice mixed with ice. Same in the lake.
"what have you done!"
Dudley was the first to yell out, and he felt that all the muscles in his body were stiff, and his joints were even creaking. The noisy car horns, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of insects in the summer night all stopped abruptly.
"You... What are you doing, what are you doing? Stop, stop!" He shouted at the top of his voice, his tone almost distorted.
"I didn't do anything! Shut up!"
Harry stood where he was, gripping the handle of his wand with his hand in his pocket. He kept sucking the cold air into his lungs and exhaling it slowly, forcing himself to calm down.
This feeling is very familiar to him! Yes, that's right... it should be... a dementor!
"what"
A belated scream, it was from some friend of Dudley's.
"I, I can't see! I, I'm blind! I"
That was another friend of his.
"You all shut up!" Harry yelled.
"...No, no! Don't, don't do this...I beg you...I know I'm wrong..."
Distraught by them, Harry was about to growl again when he realized it was coming from behind him... was it the woman?
He was about to turn his head to take a look, but to his astonishment, with a flash of warm breath, the frightening cold air dissipated very abruptly.
"I'll tell Dad! I will!" Dudley yelled, and fled quickly, throwing off his thick legs.
His group of boys saw Dudley turn and run, and even scattered, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Harry didn't have time to pay attention to them. He just looked around suspiciously, turning his head from side to side and from left to back. He turned around and found no clues that could answer his doubts.
"...Please don't, don't come again...I know I'm wrong...I know I'm wrong..."
The street lights turned on again, the stars in the night sky twinkled again, and the distant voices flooded into Harry's ears again, as if everything had returned to normal.
But the woman still covered her head and begged tremblingly, as if what happened just now really scared her.
"Uh... I think it's all right..."
Looking at her, Harry felt a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't laugh out of nowhere.
To be honest, the dramatic change just now gave him goosebumps, and he hasn't calmed down until now! He didn't understand, what happened just now?
Although Harry was a little startled by the cold air that represented the approach of the dementor, it didn't actually make him feel very frightened.
Thanks to Tomaka, neither Harry, Hermione nor Ron will be afraid of dementors now.
But the chill finally disappeared inexplicably, which made Harry a little suspicious. Why did they leave again? Is that warmth a Patronus spell? Who drove the dementors away?
He suddenly discovered that although Hermione, Ron and Sirius refused to explain the reason, the clues seemed to be hidden by his side all the time...
"Hey! You're all right!" Seeing that the woman was still muttering, Harry couldn't help shouting at her louder.
"Ah" "Huh?"
He didn't expect that after he yelled, the woman's body suddenly tilted to the side, and she passed out like this!
