Harry Potter's Bastard

"He had to come back here every year until he was an adult. Used to make sure the spell still works. So, you should understand that there's no point in you moving away, because wherever you go, Harry has to stay with you until adulthood - the 'damn old man' you call will make sure of that. Solim patiently explained to the Dursleys.

Vernon's face fell, as if he had just been fired from the company. But then his eyes widened again.

"You mean 'adulthood,' and when he reaches adulthood, we'll be able to get rid of him?" asked Vernon hopefully.

"In theory, yes. Solim nodded.

"Theoretically?" Vernon had an eerie feeling, as if he was on a legal consultation.

"Because no one can guarantee that Harry will die before he reaches adulthood. There is no guarantee that you will be safe until he reaches adulthood. "

"I knew it!" Vernon thumped his thigh.

"But don't worry too much. Solim said, "As I said before, this is a key area, with all kinds of surveillance magic and surveillance personnel, so your safety can be guaranteed. "

"Can it be guaranteed?" Vernon was obviously not satisfied with the statement, "and what happened to my son?"

"It was an accident. Solim frowned, he was already a little impatient, he didn't come here to explain the Order of the Phoenix's mistake.

"Accident?" was not satisfying to Vernon, and he was about to say something when Penny pulled him aside.

"We ...... We just want to know," Penny said, "that guy, is he going to target us......"

Solim observed Vernon and Penny's expressions, making sure that this was the answer they really wanted to know.

"Oh, of course not, or rather, it's almost impossible. Solim shook his head, "He has a more valuable threat than you - your nephew, who will only take your turn when his friends, teachers, and elders are dead, so you don't need to worry about that." "

That's good news for Vernon. Although he hated the so-called "wizards", there was no doubt that if those wizards were safe, they would be safe.

"The red-haired one, I remember they're friends, right?" Vernon squinted, "They seem to have a lot of kids? Are they all his friends?"

"If you're talking about Weasley, you can think so. Solim said: "They have a lot of children. "

Looking at Vernon's face, Solim asked with a strange expression, "You can't be thinking of something out of the ordinary, are you?"

Solim didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so he said directly, "Have you thought about what I told you last time? "

Vernon and Penny remembered the incident, of course, and they had discussed it, and if they really wanted to get Solim over, they would definitely have to answer the question, so they seemed prepared.

"Of course, but last time you said it was very vague. Vernon said, "You just said you wanted to bring a yard, what else, what kind of location, what kind of traffic, what facilities, you didn't tell me, I can't help you, and importantly, you didn't tell me your budget." "

"I was negligent. Solim hadn't thought about where he wanted the house at the time, and he had thought it so simple that if he hadn't finally found Gilves, he wouldn't have a few pounds in his pocket now, and it would have been very embarrassing if that happened.

"Rest assured, my budget is very adequate. Solim pulled out the Barclays card that Gilves had given him from his pocket and handed it to Vernon along with a piece of parchment.

"All kinds of information about this card is written on paper. "As you know, we wizards don't have identification on the side of ordinary people, so we can't do anything related to identity: go to the hospital, buy insurance, buy a house...... Of course, it's not that I can't do it, it's just that I personally don't like to use it that way. "

If a good wizard really wants to get a house in London, it's actually very easy, and he doesn't even have to spend a penny - whether it's Galleons or pounds.

All he needs to do is knock on the door and kick the original owner out - memory modification, Imperius Curse, or even just evaporate the original owner, and then take possession of the magpie's nest. If someone from a Muggle government agency comes to your door, you can use any spell you want to send them away.

But this tactic is not a fan of Solim, he is a man who likes to follow the rules - provided that the rules are in his favor. You don't have to worry about water and electricity outages, and you don't have to worry about suspicious neighbors calling the police.

"What about the requirements? apartment or detached house?" Vernon opened the parchment like a garbage bag, "Barclay, didn't you say you couldn't get these identification things?"

Vernon looked at Solim suspiciously, as if he wondered if he had stolen it.

"I got it from an elder, and I've already used it to get money, and there's over £1.4 million on it—" Solim waved his hand at Vernon and Penny's shocked expressions, "like I said, you don't have to worry about the budget, you don't have to worry about the pay. I've always been a man of my word, and if you help me, then I'll help you. "

"With all that money, I suppose you must want a detached house, right?" asked Vernon, "maybe a villa?"

Solim smiled, "Don't think I know anything about you ordinary people, I'm not one of those wizards who can't even tell the difference between a TV and a washing machine. "

The villas in the country are freehold, which is subject to title deeds. Even if you tear down the villa on the ground and build a building, it's okay, as long as you have the money. But a detached house like the Dursleys is different, it cannot be remodeled or repurposed.

Solim had said that the house would be in Dursley's name, and that if he did buy a villa, Vernon would use Solim's money to buy a real estate for the Dursleys—not the same thing as buying a house.

Apparently, Vernon didn't expect Solim to understand the difference between real estate and a house. He dared to say that his son did not know any of this.

"Help me get a good house. Solim stood up, "You can contact me when you're decided." "

Pulling out the box, Solim pulled out two things from it.

"This - the feathers of the phoenix. You can use it to contact me. "

Penny swallowed a mouthful of spit, and it was evident that she was attracted to the warmth and faint glow of the feathers.

"It's a pen – a quill – that's more popular in our side. Solim said. Ordinary quills have no magic at all, but the feathers of a magical creature like a phoenix do.

"It's a roll of parchment – there's magic on it. When you write on it with a quill pen, I can see it on the other side. Solim explained to them how to use these things, "In the same way, I write on the other side, and you can see it on your side." So that we can communicate. "

Vernon looked disgusted, but Penny looked a little ...... Interested. Perhaps it was in her parched heart that the magical dream never dissipated.
