Chapter 1305 ???What Petunia Evans and Vernon Dursley Have to Tell
"What did they do?" Helena approached her mother and asked in a low voice. She was still bored, but after hearing these conversations that were similar to TV dramas about love and hatred, she was not so bored.
Luna stretched out her fingers that were tucked into her furry sleeves, and poked Allen for him to explain, but the point where she poked her fingers was on the soft flesh of Allen's waist and eyes, who was turning around to explain to her daughter without any defense. This made his whole body twitch.
"Don't be like Professor McGonagall! Don't explain with her next time!" Allen, who was attacked, grabbed Luna's hand and glared at him. Then he found that the existing atmosphere was quiet and looked up to find that they had successfully attracted Desi Li family's attention.
"Sorry." Alan apologized without changing his expression, then turned to his daughter and said, "Helena, I'll tell you when I get back."
Allen felt that it was inappropriate to discuss the grievances between them in person. (Author's note: I noticed that when I mentioned this story in a sentence or two and didn't go into details, some people said that I was slandering James, so the following plots of Potter and Dursley's grievances are generally sourced from the expansion of Pottermore's official website "The Stories Petunia Evans and Vernon Dursley Have to Tell", the translator is Holytung, a friend in the Harry Potter post bar.)
"There's nothing hard to say." Petunia seemed to have heard the mutterings of the Ravenclaw family, and the horse's face she pulled up seemed a little longer. Tom, she said angrily, gesticulating with her hands, "That James Potter, Vernon asked him what kind of car he drove, and he described flying broomsticks. Vernon just guessed that wizards live on unemployment benefits." live and he says in their weirdo bank there's a lot of parental property in the form of gold coins... he's just kidding us, he looks like he's amused like Vernon did something stupid generally!"
"But to wizards, a broom is like a Muggle car! It's just a misconception between you..." Harry knew his father's style from Sirius, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the broom.
"They're all...I mean your father is a monster who doesn't know what to do. There's nothing wrong with that." Vernon realized that his wife didn't like to talk about her sister, so he changed his words. He seemed to have found an outlet for his indignation, There was even some grievance in his tone, "When I first met Penny's short-lived brother-in-law, I tried my best to show my friendliness! I even tried to take care of him and introduce him to a serious job. It’s just that the guy who doesn’t know how to be grateful makes fun of me instead!”
"Mr. Potter, what would you think if you knew your mother cried bitterly after this party and your uncle's family angrily bid farewell?" The eccentricity that the British should have, "Your father still seemed to have some self-blame at the time, and promised to shake hands with your uncle's family as soon as possible...but this didn't happen until your aunt got married."
"I did not have your mother as my maid of honor, and Vernon, though he would not speak to your father,
I don't think there's anything wrong with calling your father an 'immature magician' when introducing him to other normal people who don't know who your father is. "Penny said bluntly, she concealed that the reason why she didn't want her younger sister to be her bridesmaid was mainly because it would make her look more ordinary, although she knew it would make Lily feel very hurt.
"We don't like your weird things, such as the teapot that suddenly makes noise when passing by, or those long dialogues mixed with "Quidditch" and "transformation" that she doesn't understand." Vernon said that it was not as good as before. Terrified, he muttered to Harry, "The last letter Petunia received from your mother was the announcement of your birth. We didn't want to have any contact with you, so Petunia threw it in the box."
After Vernon finished talking, he seemed like a cannonball again, and began to babble about the actions of Hagrid, Sirius, Arthur, and the others, describing how he was forced to perform surgery on his son to cut off the pig's tail created by them. .
Helena, who was at the side, was so excited that she ignored the intonation problem and asked in a dialect in a softer voice than before: "Mom, why did Professor Snape know what happened when they met?"
"Shh! I'll go back and tell you." Luna also looked more enthusiastically, and she and Alan exchanged glances, "At least Harry's uncle cares more about his wife than Harry's father does."
Alan nodded with a face full of gossip. He and Luna saw a lot of things in the minds of the Dursleys just now. Petunia, like Vernon, really hated Harry. She was very jealous of her sister, but to her The younger sister still has some love left, and Dumbledore's reasons made her decide to take risks to protect her nephew, who she doesn't like at all, and Uncle Vernon is indeed a good husband who loves his wife no matter what he is. He cared about his wife's thoughts, and was afraid of the wizards who supported Harry, so he reluctantly adopted Harry...
Harry's aunt and uncle met at work. Petunia Evans, who has always resented her wizarding sister for being more valued by her parents, leaves Cokeworth for good and comes to London to attend a typing lesson. With this she got a job in an office, where she met a very ordinary and stubborn materialist - Vernon Dursley.
The bulky, neckless junior executive was a model of manliness to young Penny. Not only did he return her romantic love, but he was too good to be true. He happened to own a car and wanted a very normal life, and he took Penny on a few boring dates during which he kept talking about himself and society, after which Penny started Looking forward to the moment when he put the ring on himself. When the due time came, Vernon Dursley proposed, and quite fittingly, got down on one knee in his mother's living room, and Petunia said yes immediately. All she feared now was what her fiancé would think of her sister, who was in her last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Vernon loved to be contemptuous of people, even in black suits and brown shoes; what he would think of a young woman who wore a long robe most of the time and chanted spells was something Petunia couldn't even imagine.
On a tear-drenched date, Penny confessed to the situation. The two sat in Vernon's dark car, looking across at the chip shop where Vernon had just bought snacks for them after the movie. As Penny expected, Vernon was deeply shocked.
But later, Vernon solemnly told Petunia that he would never reject her because of her weird younger sister. Petunia threw herself into his arms with such overwhelming gratitude that Vernon dropped the sausage.
"My father didn't understand Muggles, he didn't know how to deal with them...so he did some bad things..." Harry's cheeks began to heat up, and he dryly tried to defend his father. What it was like, he could understand Uncle Vernon's anger when he felt he was being teased.
"Potter is just like his father," Snape sneered, and he perked up at the mention of this. "You should know how arrogant he is, and criticism is like a deaf ear to him. Their self-importance The arrogant people in the center never understand the situation of others, and like to bully the weak."
"I even tried to keep you from being a weirdo." Penny echoed, she pulled the fat son who was stunned and stroked his big head, "Although I grew up with my weirdo sister and know something about you , but I have to admit that I still know next to nothing about your world, and Vernon and I had the very absurd idea...that we could pull the magic out of you...we tried to throw the acceptance letter from your school Dropped my hopes on the rumor that 'wizards can't get near water'...although I later recalled how many times I saw Lily bouncing around the creek and stepping on stones in my childhood...the big word weirdo had no trouble afterwards I walked through the stormy waves to the island hut..." Petunia looked up, "I tried my best not to make you a weirdo."
The chattering Vernon snorted coldly: "Boy, after talking so much, you should understand that we won't live with you in some weird place, and having you as a weirdo at home is enough for us." Take it!"
As an adult wizard, Harry, after several years of experience and Alan's guidance, his perspective on things is no longer as paranoid as before. He knows that his aunt did risk his life for himself... He took in himself—even at Dumbledore's 'request', but after he knew her Aunt Petunia's true attitude towards magic, he also knew that his aunt's desire to expel his magic came from her inner jealousy.
The malice towards him and the kindness towards him when he was adopted made Harry even understand what Allen thought about Sirius in his heart at this time. This invitation to act has generated some initiative.
"Actually, Aunt Petunia, the reason we came to invite you to live in the wizarding world is actually..." Harry said loudly, looking at his cousin who was still afraid of weirdos, "Ellen has a way to make you... According to what you said just now, in reverse, we have a way to inject magic into you and your cousin...to make you a 'weird' as well."
