Chapter 383 [Movie Viewing]: The Strange Dursley Family

"I'm glad my self-assertion didn't bother you. Although drinking something hot when it's hot is more soothing to the body, young people always like the pleasure of cold drinks across their throats."

Rupert felt as if Dumbledore could read minds. Just when he felt he didn't want to continue drinking the ice-cold pumpkin juice, the glass hooked by his fingers and the pot hovering in the air faded and disappeared into the air.

Then, a shallow stone basin with strange carvings on its mouth appeared in front of him.

"What should I do?"

Dumbledore came to Rupert's side with brisk steps, "Put your hand on the edge of the stone basin and recall everything you want to show us. It doesn't need to be so detailed, just a keyword that refers to them, such as if If you want to share a book with us, just keep saying its name in your mind.”

"Our brains are far more powerful than we imagine. Many images that we think we have no memory of, but only glimpses of, can actually emerge from the sea of ​​memory as long as we think about them."

Listening to Dumbledore's voice, Rupert felt a cold feeling pouring from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

He kept reciting the key words 'Harry Potter' and 'movie' in his mind, and then he felt something in his body quietly slipping away from the skin in contact with the pensieve.

From the perspective of Ron and the others, Rupert suddenly trembled all over, then had an orgasm on his face, and then the silvery thing in the basin, whether it was light, gas or liquid, began to swirl.

A sound of music mixed with lightness and solemnity sounded from it, and the things in the basin began to take on color. It was a blue sky and white clouds, with a huge blue-gold badge in the middle.

"Warner Bros. Pictures?" Ron asked confused, "Is it the company that produced this movie?"

Robert's hand had already left the pensieve, "Yes, Warner Bros. Pictures."

While they were talking, a road sign reading 'PRIVET DRIVE' and a dark night appeared in front of everyone.

"Privet Drive! I've been there, this is Uncle Harry's house!" Ron said.

(Harry also recognized it at a glance. He had not returned to Privet Drive for a long time. The last time he met his aunt, she was forcibly dragged to his birthday party by her mother. It was only then that he learned that Aunt Petunia was actually with her. Snape knows.)

The picture showed an owl flying by, and then a tall and thin figure dressed as a wizard with white hair and beard walked out of the darkness.

The music becomes suspenseful and slightly scary.

("An owl animagus?")

("Is this Dumbledore?" Some viewers have noticed something is wrong.)

Then came a silver tabby cat.

The old man took out a silverware that looked like a flashlight and pointed it at the street lamp a few times. The light in the street lamp turned into a ball of light and was sucked into it. All the street lamps went out one by one.

‘This is me? ’ Dumbledore looked at the old man with interest, and did not think that he was as bad-tempered as Neville and the others said. On the contrary, he was very similar to the old man in his previous state.

It's just that the Deluminator in Dumbledore's hand is more like a flashlight, and his is more like a lighter.

The tabby cat made a few tender sounds, and the old man wearing half-moon lenses lowered his eyes kindly, "I should have expected that you would come too, Professor McGonagall."

The picture showed a cat, and then a shadow. As the music gradually became more intense, the cat shadow turned into a human figure, and when it reappeared, it was a serious-looking woman.

'Professor McGonagall? She looked older and wore round glasses instead of square ones. ’ Dumbledore soon discovered the difference.

"Is this Professor Dumbledore?" Listening to Professor McGonagall's address to the old man, Ron's eyes seemed to be about to pop out of his head.

Neville and Draco were also very confused.

"How is that possible?"

"This isn't Dumbledore!"

Rupert reacted, "It was the actor Richard Harris who played Dumbledore in The Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets. But after his death, Mr. Michael Gambon played the role in the subsequent films."

(Dumbledore suddenly realized, "My actor's name is Michael Gambon.")

At this time, the screen showed a blue sun in mid-air. It kept zooming in, and then the screen zoomed out again, revealing the outline of a motorcycle, from which Hagrid, who had just been mentioned by the two men, stepped off.

(Hagrid was crying at this moment. He didn't pay attention to Professor McGonagall's doubts about him during the conversation between Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. He only had those words swirling in his mind, 'I can entrust my life to Hagrid. .')

(Grindelwald's face was livid. Although Dumbledore looked different from the one he knew, he still wanted to rush to Hagrid and point his wand at his chest. "Hagrid, Dumbledore will help you." Condolences?")

Although it may be rude, Dumbledore felt that this Hagrid might be more emotionally stable and reliable. To this day, he still vaguely remembers the sound of Hagrid crying and wailing when he handed Harry over to him.

"Albus, do you really feel safe leaving your child with this family? I've been watching them all day and I've never seen worse Muggles."

(Hearing Professor McGonagall say this, even though Harry already knew the cause and effect, he still nodded subconsciously.)

Dumbledore in the picture has already finished explaining his reasons, and did not mention Harry's scars, nor the scar on his left knee that is a complete map of the London Underground. With the words, "Good luck, Harry Potter." ”

The picture shows the lightning-shaped scar, with golden light shooting out of the hole.

Damn! Pott is really a savior! Draco took a step back.

Ron and Neville held each other's hands.

(Ginny, who was laughing at the baby Harry's appearance, fell off the stool and fell flat on her face.)

(Ginny was not the only one who was shocked. Many viewers were shocked.)

("The love spell must have sensed the breath of blood relatives and is starting to activate." Some knowledgeable people analyzed seriously.)

Dumbledore was also shocked for a moment, until

accompanied by dark clouds, music, and the sound of lightning, the words "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" appeared in the golden light.

"This is a special effect." Rupert explained at the right time.

Nerve, I was shocked, Ron quickly shook off Neville's hand.

In a white light, the lightning scar with golden light appeared again, the picture expanded, and Harry Potter with blue eyes appeared from it.

(Snape seemed to have seen something filthy. The blue-eyed Potter was destined to die!)

Ron and the others had no time to raise any questions.

Rupert explained, "Dan, I mean Daniel, he is allergic to colored contact lenses and can't wear them, so his eyes are blue. But in the movie setting it is still green, and many characters mentioned that his eyes are the same as his mother's."

("Allergic! Why not just go blind!" Snape does not allow Harry Potter with other eye colors to appear in front of him.)

(Harry's eye color problem makes Aunt Petunia's appearance, Harry living in the locker downstairs, Dudley's rudeness and rejection of Harry all fade.)

(Of course, this does not include Sirius. He is ready to teach the Dursleys a lesson. In his opinion, not treating Harry like a little prince is abuse.)

(Some viewers are still dissatisfied with the Dursleys even if they are diverted by the eye color problem, but when they hear Dudley calling Harry cousin or calling him to go to the zoo, they instantly feel that the Dursleys are good to Harry and really treat him as a family.)

(It's just that Dudley is a little naughty, but after all, it's his birthday . )

(Hearing Aunt Petunia telling Harry to cook, some viewers didn't care much, after all, Harry was hardly busy in the picture, just frying the bacon in the pan for less than a minute.)

(Aunt Petunia was busy before.)

(It's just that Harry's uncle's tone was too rude, but it's understandable, after all, Harry and him are not related by blood.)

(But Dudley's performance afterwards still made some viewers a little dissatisfied.)

(Ginny frowned, "36 gifts are not satisfied, and he still wants 38 ”)

(Lily shook her head, "Petunia is still too doting on her son.")

Just when Dumbledore was somewhat suspicious whether the information Mrs. Figg gave him was a little distorted, and why Petunia and the others were so good to Harry, Ron waved his fist in anger, "Which bastard director shot this!"

"It was obviously Harry's neighbor who broke his leg, and they were worried about leaving Harry at home, so they let Harry go to the zoo!"

The screen just happened to show Dursley threatening Harry that if he dared to play tricks again, he would let him not eat for a week.

"Look! This point is more in line with the facts."

Draco made a dreamy voice, "I always thought he was spoiled like a prince, he is the savior!"

As Harry's roommate, Neville knew a little, but he never knew that this locker was so small.

Rupert explained, "This is for the length of the movie, some unimportant details--"

"Details? Unimportant?" Ron snorted, "This is Harry's history of suffering!"

He pointed at Dudley who pushed Harry to the ground to see the snake, "This is the truth!"

Rupert wanted to weaken the slightly depressed atmosphere, "By the way, do you know? Dudley's actor is called Harry Melling!"

But no one paid attention to him.

In the picture, Harry stared at Dudley leaning against the glass, the glass disappeared, and Dudley fell into the water.

The huge python deliberately swam past Dudley. Dudley got up and wanted to go out, but found that the glass appeared again, calling his parents for help.

Harry laughed and was seen by Dursley.

After returning home, he was locked in the storage room by Dursley.

An owl appeared and dropped a letter outside the house.

The camera moved to the house.

Dudley, wearing a red suit and gift, looked very funny, but the Dursleys looked very proud.

("It looks like it's been a while." Ginny held Harry's hand worriedly, "You didn't really go without food for a week.")

(Harry shook his head, his face calm, "The Dursleys forgot one thing, I'm the cook.")

Harry looked disgusted, "I'm not going to wear that too, am I?"

The Dursleys and Dudley laughed harshly.

They said he only deserved to go to public school.

(Lily frowned, but she knew how expensive private schools were. With Dumbledore not paying alimony and Harry's magic riots always causing trouble, Petunia and the others were already doing well.)

(But this attitude, unbridled ridicule, it seems that they don't think Harry is a flesh-and-blood person.)

(She finally understood why Petunia avoided her eyes and looked guilty when she saw her, and why Harry treated Petunia, who came to her birthday party, as air.)

(However, this cannot be used as a basis for their unqualified.)

(Petunia has always regarded magic as her enemy who killed her, and she desires and hates it.)

(Harry looks so much like James, and James offended the Dursleys.)

In the picture, owls dropped letters one after another, which Dursley tore into pieces, and Petunia opened the eggs, which were also full of letters.

She pretended to be calm, and finally wailed in despair when she found countless owls outside the window.

Dursley still did not give up, persisted from day to night, and threw the letters into the fireplace in front of Harry.

Time turned to Sunday.

Dursley had a messy head, but his face was full of red. He asked Dudley, "Why is Sunday the best day."

"Because there are no letters on Sunday." Harry answered quickly.

Dursley was rarely angry, and said to Harry kindly, "You're right, Harry."

(Hagrid laughed, "Stupid Dursley, Muggles can't stop Harry from becoming a wizard.")

Ron couldn't understand, "Since they hate Harry so much, why don't they just let Harry leave?"

"Maybe they are worried that Harry will become a wizard and take revenge on them." Draco guessed.

Dumbledore sighed, "They hate magic. They are just trying their best to isolate Harry from the harm of magic."

"Hurting?" Ron's eyes widened.

In the floating picture of the Pensieve, Dursley's laughter stopped abruptly, and letters poured into the whole room.

(Harry should have laughed, seeing the Dursleys being slapped in the face and screaming and wailing.)

(But now he realized that maybe Dumbledore was right, they were just protecting him in their stupid and hateful way.)

(Even the opinion of the most favored Dudley was not important at this moment.)

(Their only goal was to keep him away from magic.)

(This is indeed love, the love that once made him painful and resentful.)

(Perhaps the Dursleys themselves did not realize it.)

However, even so, the Dursleys still did not give up.

Moved to a small cabin on a lonely island with Harry.

(Lily sighed. From a certain perspective, her sister and brother-in-law did treat her son well.)

"Okay." Ron had to admit, "This is indeed love. But they must have something wrong. Since you love Harry, treat him better."

He looked at the picture speechlessly. Harry could only sleep on the floor with a sheet, but was covered with a warm quilt.

"How hypocritical. It's Harry's birthday now."

(Ginny's eyes were red, looking at Harry who was writing happy birthday on the floor to wish her birthday.)

(Sirius, who was originally stopped by Lupin, yelled that he wanted to go to Privet Drive again.)

"Hagrid will appear next."

"Oh~"

Ron was startled.

Even though he knew the general idea of ​​what was going to happen next, it was too much like a scene in a horror story.

Late at night, in the storm, an unknown life covered in fur broke through the door and broke into the house.

Fortunately, Hagrid's honest face and the birthday cake in his hand weakened the horror atmosphere a little.
