Chapter 515: Raising
Petunia sat down on the ground in despair, while Dudley was sobbing beside his mother. Vernon protected his family behind him and looked at the shotgun broken into two parts on the ground with some fear.
Harry pulled his luggage from his den, carefully stepping over the scraps of wood on the floor. The door that was meant to lock him had been chopped into pieces by Po Jun just now.
Po Jun glanced at Harry speechlessly: "I remember, didn't Brother Li give you a gun? Why did you pull it like this? You were locked in the room and couldn't get out."
Harry said with some embarrassment: "I found a place to bury that gun."
"Well, they already know from the look of you that you can't use magic outside of school. Why don't you just move out and live, and I'll give you a small house."
Harry's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head: "This is too valuable, I can't accept it."
"How about I help you deal with them?" Po Jun said and pointed the long knife at the Dursleys. Dudley cried louder when he saw the shining long knife.
Vernon roared: "What do you want to do? Murder is against the law!"
Po Jun shook his head: "It's illegal to kill people with magic. If you don't use magic, the Ministry of Magic won't bother to care."
Hearing this, Harry quickly stood in front of the Dursleys. Although he also hates his aunt's family, he grew up here after all: "They are my relatives after all."
Po Jun put away his long sword: "Forget it, the goblins of Gringotts serve you very well, I will entrust them to watch over you, as long as you suffer any unfair treatment.
Gringotts' security team will come forward to solve the problem, and even if it doesn't cost money, the wizard who knows about this situation will probably be happy to come forward for you. "
Hermione looked at the Dursleys and said righteously: "It is illegal to abuse children. You don't want to be called by the police because you made a report together, right? If you are really accused of child abuse, I'm afraid you and your Gotta go to jail.”
At this time, the twins also rushed to the Dursley family, winking and saying, "I'm afraid you don't know, right? Harry is our savior."
"Maybe you don't have any idea about this. I remember what the Dark Lord among you Muggles is called? By the way, Adolf Hitler."
"Think about it, if you had someone here who killed Hitler and ended the war. But he was abused by his relatives at home, how would the angry people treat his relatives?"
Under the coercion and intimidation of several people, the Dursleys finally gave in. Let everyone take Harry away and promise not to abuse Harry again.
Po Jun glanced at them sideways: "Hmph! He has received the inheritance from his parents, but he still treats his nephew harshly. If Harry hadn't persuaded me, I would have really wanted to chop you all with a knife."
Upon hearing Po Jun's words, both Harry and the Dursleys were stunned. Vernon looked at Pojun in disbelief, while Harry looked at the Dursleys with some confusion.
Penny said numbly: "Back then, he was put in a basket and thrown in front of my house. Besides countless troubles, what else could he bring to us?"
Po Jun saw that the expressions of the Dursley family did not look fake, so he asked Petunia: "Harry's parents are quite rich. After their death, aren't you going to inherit his mother's inheritance?"
Penny sneered: "She passed away without even attending a single day of class since she graduated from that freak school. What legacy can she have?"
The twins heard something. They pulled Harry aside and asked a few questions before coming to Po Jun: "We wizards' money can't be used in the Muggle world. Muggle money is also useless." The wizarding world is not in circulation.
Harry's parents left their treasury to Harry. It's possible that they decided to live on the wizarding side and didn't keep any Muggle currency. "
Hearing what the twins said, Po Jun showed a hint of embarrassment. He asked Harry again: "Do they often beat you?"
Harry shook his head: "Not often."
"Then, let you starve?"
"Except when Dudley lost weight, we all had to starve with him, but we could still eat enough."
"You won't be allowed to go to school?"
"You mean school, right? Dudley and I were in the same school before."
Only then did Po Jun realize that he might have misunderstood. In her impression, Harry's parents were relatively wealthy, so part of their inheritance should have been received by the Dursleys.
Then they used the money left by the Potters and treated Harry harshly, which was indeed unjustifiable. But if Harry's parents didn't stay at all, it would be very rare for Dursley to be able to raise him so well.
Po Jun looked at the Dursleys with some shame: "Sorry, I thought... forget it, words are worse than actions."
With that said, Po Jun took out a golden bowl filled with dwarf gold coins and gems. She put the bowl on the table in the living room and said to the Dursleys: "I did something wrong today. I will treat this as an apology to you and Harry's living expenses."
After doing all this, Po Jun felt ashamed to stay here, so he pulled Harry and the others and left No. 4 Privet Drive. The Dursleys, on the other hand, looked at the bowl of gold with complicated expressions.
After getting on the knight bus, Po Jun directly bought the luxury package. She handed the hot cocoa to everyone: "It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing. I should have asked clearly."
Harry took the hot cocoa with a blank look on his face: "They actually weren't very nice to me, so you don't have to blame yourself so much."
Po Jun shook his head: "You don't understand. It is actually very difficult to raise a child. In addition to money, it also requires a lot of energy. To be honest, your aunt and uncle are already very good to you.
Your aunt only has a pearl necklace on her body and no other jewelry. Moreover, the necklace is a bit dim, she must have been wearing it for a long time. I guess your aunt's family's income is not high.
In our place, there are few ordinary families who would do their best to raise their nephews. "
Ron and Hermione had no idea, but the twins were precocious. They patted Harry on the shoulders: "Po Jun is right, raising children is really not an easy task. You will probably know it when you meet our mother."
Ron said blankly: "What's wrong with mom?"
The twins looked at each other, and Fred said: "Idiot Ronnie, think carefully about a day when your mother wasn't busy doing housework from morning to night?"
"She hasn't always been..." Ron stopped mid-sentence. Being used to it doesn't mean normal.
As the only daughter in the family, Hermione couldn't imagine how anyone could do housework from morning to night.
George added: "Fortunately, my mother is a witch. If she were a Muggle, I can't imagine how she would take care of our family."
Harry also began to recall that it seemed that Aunt Petunia was mainly responsible for the housework at home, although he was often asked to do the work. But as a child, he doesn't have that much strength, so some simple and easy tasks are usually left to him.
Dudley didn't have to work because his aunt and uncle were too doting on him, but children from other families seemed to take on some of the housework. From this point of view, the work he did before was not abuse.
