Hogwarts White Knight

Chapter 16 The last resort to solving problems is not violence (including super long side notes)

Many foreigners always think that Britain is an elegant country.

The gentlemen under the Statue of Britannia are polite, sophisticated and well-educated. They wear gloves and ties, drink black tea, play bridge, and even only fry toast on one side. They have flexible legs and feet but like to bring a cane.

But true Englishmen scoff at that idea.

Unlike the French guys who are used to living a luxurious life.

Once the hypocritical layer of "civilization" is peeled off, they inherit the blood of Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. They are drunkards, hooligans, and resolute adherents of violence. Learn to fight the villain before class.

Like Churchill, and Colin and Gawain.

"You two, do you want to be like him?"

Gawain looked at Dudley's two followers and said, grabbing Dudley's collar with his left hand and making a fist against his back with his right hand.

This posture ensures that when Dudley struggles, he will have enough space to move and fight back.

But to Gawain's surprise, Dudley was like a puddle of mud and did not dare to move at all.

"Mother..."

He muttered something, but quickly closed his mouth and looked at the follower pitifully with his little eyes.

But Pierre and Danny froze in place, their eyes darting from side to side.

——They were not thinking about how to rescue Dudley, but how to find a reason to escape without being retaliated by the cautious Dudley afterwards.

"Not only cowardly, but stupid."

In his mind, Gawain had a lower opinion of the Dursley boy.

There is obviously still a chance to resist, and there are two followers. As long as he knocks him to the ground, it will be difficult for Gawain, who is exhausted, to beat them.

"Gawain...Thank you, but you should let him go. His parents are a little...difficult."

Harry's eyes showed gratitude, and he reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Hearing Harry's words, Dudley raised his head expectantly, his face turned pale with fear, and big drops of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Apologize."

Gawain said expressionlessly, clamping Dudley's left hand harder.

Dudley's face turned even paler, "I'm sorry...", but under Gawain's cold eyes, he still said it.

But Gawain was not satisfied with his perfunctory behavior and said, "Say louder to Harry."

"Gawain, forget it, he is... my cousin after all."

Harry moved closer to Gawain and whispered.

"Okay," Gawain hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly let go of Dudley's collar with his left hand and said, "For Harry's sake, get out of here."

Fortunately, Dalis ran away without even paying attention to the two followers.

"I dare say he has never run this fast before he was born."

Gawain's disdainful teasing and Dudley's funny actions made Harry laugh out loud.

"I'm sorry, Gawain, it's obviously my fault that you're in this situation...and Aunt Petunia...Dudley's mother is very...I'm worried that she will come to you after Dudley returns."

But Harry's smile didn't last long and he said worriedly.

"Well...in that case, in return, I need you to do me a favor."

Gawain tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, then said with a smile.

"What? I mean, anything, if I can do it," Harry replied flatly.

"How about coming to my house as a guest and having dinner by the way?" Gawain showed a sly smile and extended his hand to Harry, "And I need you to help me walk a short distance. I'm a little exhausted."

He shook his head helplessly and put his arm on Harry's shoulders.

First, he experimented with the strange spell, and then ran after the abyss for a long time. Now, he only felt that it was difficult to even stand still.

It wasn't that he didn't want to punch to the flesh just now, but even if he hit him, it would only cause no pain or itching.

"But this is probably a wizard's fight."

Gawain thought to himself as he led Harry towards home.

Before, Gawain just put his fist against his body, which made Dudley cry out in pain, not because he suddenly learned the Eastern "Qi", but because it was actually a repair spell.

To be precise, it was a failed repair spell.

Someone once said, "Failure is the mother of success."

But he undoubtedly has devastating deviations in his cognitive understanding of social ethics.

——Because not only failure may be an aunt, stepmother, or simply a biological mother, but success may also be a fool, a madman, or a muddy child who does not recognize his relatives.

But Gawain at least plays the role of a social worker.

"The principle of the repair spell is to release magic power, and according to the wizard's thoughts or memories, the damaged things can be repaired as before." Gawain recalled the records in "Standard Charms: Elementary", "But to successfully use this spell, you need to Only after a lot of practice can things be restored accurately and quickly.”

Naturally, he cannot do this at present.

——Let alone the complicated Colosseum, even if the object is just a vase, he may miss some pieces.

But when he was practicing, he discovered that when he chanted this spell, there would be a surge of energy at the top of his wand.

Although this impulse is only a few centimeters away, is not strong, and does not have any actual destructive power, it will be very painful if it touches a person, but it will not leave scars or bruises.

(Gawain declined to share the discovery process.)

The most important thing is that it will not draw a beam of light in the sky like other magic spells, revealing Gawain's secret identity to the world.

As for the possibility of being troubled by the Dursleys?

"Harry, you know what?

I feel that although violence is not the last resort to solve problems, it is often the simplest. "

Thinking of this, Gawain said with a casual smile.

"What's the last resort?"

Harry asked confused.

"Of course it's a threat."

Colin said this at the dinner table in the evening.

After hearing about Harry's situation and being bullied by his aunts, he visited the Dursleys.

In a "friendly" and "harmonious" atmosphere, he proposed that if the Dursleys continued to treat Harry like this, he would introduce several friends who were engaged in social work and law firms that cooperated with his company.

"But actually, I hope you continue to treat him like this.

As long as this is done, the lawyer can take out every coin you owe Harry from your pockets, and make you "willingly" bear his future living expenses and tuition fees all the way to college.

After all, child abuse, under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1868...that's not what you want, is it?

You can also be confident that you can win your case.

One way or another, in this world, people have to believe in something. "

He was standing in front of the Dursley's doorway with a bright smile on his face, talking calmly as if chatting with an old friend.

ps1: The issue of British ancestry is more complicated to explain, so I will try to summarize it as much as possible.

The original inhabitants of the British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales) were Celts, then the Romans came and named the province of Britannia, and then after the Romans left, there were the Anglicans and Saxons, They slaughtered Celtic mercilessly and became dominant.

Alfred the Great (849-899) was the first Anglo-Saxon king to call himself king. At the same time, the British suffered from Viking conquests and were once ruled and intermarried by the Norse (Canute the Great). Also joined the bloodline of the Nordic Vikings.

In addition, William the Conqueror, who established the Norman dynasty, was originally the Duke of Normandy in France and had Viking ancestry.

If you are interested, you can leave a message in the comment area and I will post it related to the work.

ps2: I feel that there may be some controversy in this chapter, so I will explain it in as much detail as possible.

1. Regarding Dudley's treatment, he chased Potter and bullied the weak, which was already a very excessive thing, but Gawain only taught him a small lesson with his fists, without torture or growing a tail on his butt. Come. This is not only because I want to thank Harry, but also because normal people can't stand this kind of behavior.

(Actually, I think what Hagrid did was extremely irresponsible and excessive. Not only did he not consider that the Dursleys might retaliate against Harry later, he even broke the rules and used magic to harm Muggles.)

2. I don’t think Harry’s attempt to break up the fight was the Holy Mother’s fault, nor was it an afterthought. The fight was initiated by Gawain on his own initiative, and Dudley's brainless character struck out suddenly. The fight started in an instant, but ended even faster. He broke up the fight, partly because he considered that beating people would affect others' evaluation of Gawain, and partly because Dudley was his cousin after all.

No matter how annoying he is, he will at least show some restraint, not to mention Harry is a very kind child.

As for why Gawain wasn't worried about the housewives' comments, it was because he had a good image, not to mention that everyone would think it was Dudley who caused the trouble but picked it up.

3. Regarding Colin’s visit to threaten the Dursleys.

It is true that Vernon and Petunia provided Harry with living conditions and allowed him to attend elementary school, etc., but that does not mean they are good to him! Being beaten and scolded frequently, sleeping in the storage room, and never having new clothes or books, this is already too much.

If the social workers find out (I suspect that the reason why the social workers didn't know for so many years is because Dumbledore secretly took action), I'm afraid someone will come to visit and deprive the Dursleys of their custody rights to provide Harry with a better life. choose.

Not to mention the poor conditions in orphanages and foster homes, children like Harry who have good grades, are sensible, healthy, and do not have mental illness such as PTSD are always liked by middle-class families, and this does not include those in the wizarding world. family.

He is the savior. Even if the family he grew up in is not aristocratic, there should at least be a good atmosphere.

(Harry is really kind before he becomes like Riddle)

4. About the threesome of kneeling and licking.

There are currently 3 words in total, and I don’t know why I just stopped reading it. And what is kneeling and licking?

I think it is an unreasonable accommodation and a forced creation of plot to please, but Gawain and Hermione are just classmates who have known each other before but are estranged from each other, and Harry is just a passerby who is eager to help, and they have reasons for sympathy.

I currently have an original plot based entirely on the original world view, and I believe that there is no conflict with the original plot in terms of logic and plot.

When writing a new setting, I will first look at the timeline and setting of the original work, and make sure that this part can be referenced in the original work before writing it out. For example, the setting of magic, such as the protagonist’s activities in Diagon Alley.

Although there are coincidences required by the plot, I really don't think that this level is considered to be licking. Because if you want to kneel down and lick, I will arrange for the two of you to walk around Diagon Alley together, follow Harry's perspective all the way, make more random funny jokes, and add a "beep" system.

It has a great word count and is very interactive, isn’t it?

5. Regarding the question of whether the defendant will win regarding the way Dursley treated Harry. The British legal system seems civilized, but in fact it is very rogue, and barristers have a lot of say.

Indeed, if the Dursleys find a reliable lawyer, the final result may be to pay a sum of money, or be required to improve Harry's living conditions under supervision.

But the premise is that the lawyers on both sides are of equal skill. In the 90s, there were financial companies operating in one square kilometer in the UK. Their lawyers were the top litigators. It was not easy to deal with a small company owner selling machinery. It might not even take bh (bible hours). .

And this is a threat. You don’t necessarily need to be able to do the harsh words, but you must make the other party fear that he can do it.

6. The magic fails but is effective. You can refer to the second Chamber of Secrets. Ron's wand is broken, but it is effective.

The impact of the repair spell is shown in the movies. For example, when Dumbledore and Slughorn (Part ) were repairing, when they shook their wands, the objects in front of them started to float.

In addition, even the Oblivion Curse has an impact (Lockhart was hit against the wall by one of the Oblivion Curses), and Expelliarmus even more so.

Finally, thank you for seeing this.

I was actually inspired to write this book by The Lion Throne. The author and I are somewhat similar in that we are both textualists with late stages of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When writing the outline, I searched for almost all the P materials (including English), and also checked a lot of mythological stories against the timeline (whether it was Welsh legends, Viking history, and the medieval background that happened to be the era of the Four Giants). ), but even so, there is still no guarantee that bugs will not occur.

(After all, Rowling herself eats books)

(Cross out the previous sentence)

When designing the plots of these two chapters, I was actually a little hesitant. Because since it involves this aspect, it is better to cut directly to the timeline of the beginning of school and follow the plot, which is both fun and novel.

But I wrote it anyway.

I think Dursley's treatment of Harry was wrong, regardless of whether it changed later or not, and regardless of Dumbledore's good intentions. And the best way to make up for it is before the story begins.

This note has 2000 words, which is already longer than the chapter. I hope I can express my intention clearly.

I also hope that those of you who are dissatisfied with this chapter can give me more time and read some more chapters so that I can win back your trust. At the same time, thank you for your support, which makes me feel that this book is at least not too stupid.
