A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 286 Don’t lose your jobs either

Harry felt particularly irritable after returning to No. 4 Privet Drive. He thought about Blake every day, and the name came from time to time on the TV news.

This person kept appearing in his mind, so much so that when he was helping Charles write his summer homework, he wrote the fourteenth-century witch-burner as "Sirius Black" several times.

It was just August and Vernon came back from a business trip abroad. He looked like he had lost half his life and lost half his weight. He hung his head and went to the opposite side to report to Mr. Smith.

Vernon carefully reported the results of his July business trip to his boss. The boss's suggestion to go to Shunde to find a home appliance OEM was right, and there was a lot to be gained. He took a friend's advice and went to India for investigation. As a result, he went for two weeks and had to stay in the hospital three times for a total of ten days because of diarrhea.

Even Harry, who hated Vernon so much, felt sympathy for three seconds while eavesdropping on him.

Jack is also very irritable now because the first Decryption Challenge at Hogwarts has recently started, and Professor McGonagall will be sitting in Diagon Alley instead of playing on the computer.

However, he still kept a clear distinction between public affairs and private affairs. He only talked about his grades and not his mistakes with Vernon. He reimbursed all his medical expenses and gave him half a month of paid leave.

Vernon was so miserable and Petunia was also going crazy, so all the pressure fell on Harry.

Harry is stressed, so the kids in the boxing club suffer.

Harry was always well behaved at home during this time because he wanted Vernon or Petunia to sign a consent form for going to Hogsmeade at the weekend.

He often heard the two Weasley brothers talk about Hogsmeade, a very interesting village full of wizards, with many shops and wonderful places.

But Vernon and Petunia were very disgusted with everything about wizards in front of him, and it was impossible to get them to sign without any reason.

Harry's head hurt a little. It would be nice if Charles was here. In the past, when his grades were better than Dudley's, he always asked him to help forge signatures on the grade sheets.

That morning, Dudley went out to play with his friends. Petunia said she was going to do some errands for Jack, and Vernon was watching TV.

Harry came to the living room with the consent form. On the way, he heard someone on the news reminding people to be careful of Black, followed by Vernon Po's curse: "When will they understand that such people can only be locked up in India?" , it’s more effective than being imprisoned in Australia before!”

In recent days, Vernon had been threatening to send people to India when he cursed them. Harry had been threatened several times, even Hedwig was no exception.

At this moment, the phone rang, and Vernon stood up to answer it. Harry heard "sister" come out of his mouth and immediately turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

Vernon's sister Maggie lives in the country and has many dogs at home. She is mean and biased. She likes Dudley very much and treats Harry as a stinking piece of shit.

Besides... Harry thought of a way to get Vernon to sign his consent form.

As soon as Vernon returned to the living room and sat down after making the phone call, Harry came to the living room with the consent form.

Before Harry could speak, Vernon roared when he saw him: "Boy, come here."

When Harry stood in front of the sofa, not blocking them from watching TV, Vernon said to him as expected: "Maggie is coming to stay here for a week tomorrow."

Harry mentally prepared himself and replied calmly: "I know."

Vernon began to make demands on him: "I ask you to do the following things:"

"First, you can't speak unreasonably to Maggie."

"Second, Maggie doesn't know you're not a normal person yet, so don't do weird things, and that bird had better not stay at home!"

"Thirdly, we have told Maggie that you are attending the St. Bruce Secure Center School for Young Offenders, not some magic place."

"Fourthly, when Maggie lived here, Dudley had to do the watering and weeding of Mr. Smith's garden."

"Fifth, when Maggie goes to Mr. Smith's house as a guest, you can't cause trouble."

"You have to do this!"

Every time he said something, Harry smiled and nodded, not looking dissatisfied.

After Vernon finished speaking, Harry imitated someone's tone and asked him: "Dear Uncle Vernon, you don't want to lose the jobs given by Mr. Smith to you and Aunt Petunia, do you?"

Now Jack has registered a company, and now there are about ten people. Vernon is responsible for daily management and business trips, and Petunia is also doing some typing and running errands to deliver documents on the surface.

The salary given by Jack was not low, and they thought that Dudley would also work for Jack after he graduated, so he would naturally work very hard.

Vernon was so disgusted by his tone that he felt as if he had seen Indian street food for the first time. Then he was so angry that his face turned purple with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, what are you trying to do? Are you going to use That trick of yours to threaten Mr. Smith?”

"You can try and see if I don't break your legs and throw you to India!"

Harry thought to himself that if he used magic on Mr. Smith, Charles and Professor Dumbledore would definitely send him to Azkaban.

He smiled and said: "Uncle Vernon, please don't be angry. I have a very important piece of news here that will help you avoid making a mistake that angers Mr. Smith."

"Mr. Smith has been very unhappy these days. I saw him when you came back that day. If you make him angry again, you know the consequences very well."

Vernon gasped, glared at Harry and said, "If you are playing tricks on me, I will make you regret it! Even more than going to India!"

Harry took out the consent form for going out to Hogsmeade and handed it a pen, and said with a smile: "If you can sign this form for me and agree that I can go to Hogsmeade, I will tell you the news. you."

"And I'm moving out this afternoon. I won't be in this house again this summer. Just say I'm spending the summer in that school for juvenile delinquents."

"You are not afraid that I am teasing you. If I am teasing you, you can tell Mr. Smith. He asked Charles to tell our teacher, and this chart will be useless."

Vernon spent two minutes weighing the pros and cons, then silently took the consent form.

He glanced at it and wrote on it with a pen, "Consent. This consent may be revoked at any time by either Jack Smith or Charles Smith."

Vernon has also been a small leader for so many years, and has signed a lot of various signatures, so he still has some tricks.

Harry quickly caught the consent form that Vernon threw at him, glanced at it, and immediately stuffed it into his pocket. Then he said to Vernon: "Mr. Smith is currently pursuing a very outstanding lady. He is already deeply involved in it and can't help it." Extricate yourself.”

Vernon blinked, as if it was incredible to hear that an Indian was to become Prime Minister of Great Britain.

He didn't believe it at first, but when he thought that Harry and Charles had a good relationship and the source of the information should be Charles, he couldn't help but believe it.

Harry immediately slipped away and went back to his room to pack his luggage and prepare to run away.

It's just that he was in a dilemma after packing his things. He just thought about moving to the opposite house, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it won't work. If Maggie sees it, she will go crazy, and it will definitely not end well.

Another place was Ron's home. They had invited them there as guests at first, but they didn't dare to go there after hearing the conversation between Mr. Weasley and Percy that day.

Harry was a little depressed, why didn't he ask Charles where their villa was? There must be a room of his own there.

At this time, he remembered that Seamus had said that the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley had guest rooms upstairs, so he might as well go there, and he could play in Diagon Alley during the next vacation.

Transportation isn't a problem either, Lupine said something about it being called the Knight Bus.

Money is not an issue either. I spent a lot of money to travel to Egypt before, and now I have come back early, and I still have a lot more.

But Harry didn't forget one important thing.

He came to Charles' house and found no one there today, so he left a note in the living room telling Charles and Jack that Maggie was coming tomorrow.
