Chapter 1301 Departure

Harry nodded in agreement, Dudley was raised as a pig, he should be glad he didn't get the same treatment...

For Dumbledore's words, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were very annoyed, obviously not aware of this problem. Reading at midnight

Their baby Dudley was now just like a pig except for a tail.

Or be aware of it, but not escalate it to the level of abuse.

If that's not abuse, there's nothing worse!

"I'm very disappointed in your treatment of Harry..." said Dumbledore, as the cold permeated and froze in the surrounding air, "just like Sirius told you when he visited before."

Uncle Vernon's mouth opened wide, but nothing came out until the end.

"The past, I don't want to talk too much about it, but the spell I cast fifteen years ago meant that while Harry could still call this home, he would have strong protection. No matter how much he lived here Poor, how unwelcome and mistreated, you at least reluctantly gave him a place to stay." Dumbledore continued, "When Harry turns seventeen, that is to say, when he When he becomes a man, the magic breaks and he leaves here. So, I just ask that you allow Harry to come back to this home again before his seventeenth birthday, which will ensure that protective power lasts until the that time."

None of the Dursleys said anything, they were silently thinking about Dumbledore's words.

Dudley frowned slightly, as if he was still wondering what mistreatment he had received.

Uncle Vernon looked like he had something stuck in his throat, but Aunt Petunia blushed for no apparent reason.

Harry had heard his uncle and aunt whisper that if Sirius was willing to pay a large sum of gold every year for his expenses here, they would still love him back during the summer vacation...

But he doesn't want to stay here anymore, as long as he persists for a year next year, he can completely get rid of this home.

As if thinking he had made it clear, Dumbledore stood up from the sofa.

"Well, Harry, it's time we set off," he said at last. "Have you packed your things?"

"It's packed!" said Harry hastily.

He rushed back upstairs immediately, and moved down the boxes that had been packed four days ago, together with Hedwig's cage.

Dumbledore was waiting for him in the hall, where he was enjoying the potted plants.

The Dursleys huddled in the living room doorway, the air thicker than frozen custard.

"Well, then we'll take our leave, see you next time!" Dumbledore said to the Dursleys, putting on his hat.

Uncle Vernon snorted, and from their looks they hoped never to see each other again.

"goodbye!"

Harry said a hasty goodbye to the Dursleys and came to Dumbledore's side.

"Professor, where are we going now?"

"Go pick up Ivan and Hermione." Dumbledore said, watching Harry's salute and Hedwig, and pulled out his wand, "Now you can't take them to get in the way, I'll send them there first, let them be there Wait for us. But I want you to wear the Invisibility Cloak, Harry, you know, just in case."

It took some effort for Harry to get the Invisibility Cloak out of the box. He had put the Cloak at the bottom of the box, because of the things Sirius gave him before the summer vacation, he saluted a lot more this year than usual, little Sirius bought him a lot of food, magic props, and many things that a normal boy should have and shouldn't have. Harry didn't want Dumbledore to see the mess in his box.

When he had slipped the Cloak into the inside pocket of his jacket, Dumbledore had flicked his wand, and the box, cage, and Hedwig all vanished in one go.

Then, with another wave of his wand, the door opened into the cold, misty night.

The street was dark except for faint starlight.

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

Dumbledore's statement made Harry very excited, and he could finally go out on an adventure with the headmaster.

In the past days, whenever he was awake, he had been eagerly hoping that Dumbledore would actually come to fetch him.

However, when the two set off together and walked on Privet Drive, he felt very awkward.

He had hardly had a serious conversation with the Headmaster outside of Hogwarts before.

Usually, there is a table between them.

Ivan has gone on adventures with Dumbledore in other places like this. Last year, even Hermione and Elaine joined in, but Harry never did it once. Every time, Dumbledore refused him to go with him. Please, keep him out of the adventure.

Harry had dreamed countless times that he could come out with the headmaster, and now he finally had the chance!

But he wasn't sure what to do, and Dumbledore seemed very accommodating.

"Get your wand ready, Harry," he said briskly.

"But, I don't seem to be able to use magic outside of school, sir?"

"If you are attacked," said Dumbledore, "I allow you to use any magic and spell you can think of to fight back, but I don't think you need worry about being attacked tonight."

"why?"

"Because you're with me," said Dumbledore simply, "it's all right, Harry."

His tone was full of undoubted confidence, and he stopped suddenly at the intersection of Privet Drive.

"By the way, you're sure you haven't passed your Apparition exam yet?" he asked.

"No, normally it seems that you have to be seventeen years old. I checked the information." Harry replied, remembering that Aiwen could already apparate, he added, "Well, under normal circumstances... "

"Yes, normally," said Dumbledore, "then you need to take my arm."

Harry grabbed Dumbledore's outstretched forearm, noticing a ring on his finger.

He'd never seen him wear it before, and there was an intricate dark green rune on the back of his hand.

One end of the decoration is connected to the ring, and the other end extends to the upper arm...

"What's the pattern on the back of your hand?"

"An accident." Dumbledore said simply, covering the back of his hand with his sleeve, "Let's go, it's getting late, don't keep Ivan and Hermione waiting."

The next second, Harry felt that Dumbledore's arm was about to break free from his grasp, so he quickly grasped it even tighter, and then he found that the surroundings had become pitch black.

He was squeezed strongly from all directions, and he couldn't breathe at all.

His chest seemed to be tightly strangled by several iron hoops, his eyeballs were squeezed back into his head, his eardrums were pressed deep into his skull, and then...

He sucked in the cold night air and opened his tearful eyes.

Harry felt that he seemed to be squeezed out of a very narrow rubber tube just now. It took a few seconds for him to regain his senses, and found that Privet Drive had disappeared, and when he arrived in front of Ivan's house, Hermione was facing him run over here. 8)
