[HP] When the Sword Fairy traveled to Hogwarts
Chapter 4 Dudley’s Birthday
After Bai Lu arranged the fried bacon neatly, Harry, who had just entered the kitchen, took the spatula from her hand and skillfully cracked a few eggs using the remaining oil in the pot, waiting for the egg whites to solidify. Just put it on a plate, flip the last egg in the pan, and fry until both sides are golden brown.
It was specially prepared by Harry to take care of Bai Lu's taste. She had never been used to eating food that was too raw.
The eggs were cooked just right, with half-cooked yolk still flowing under the golden skin, which was just what Bai Lu liked.
Bai Lu and Harry ignored the gifts that were almost piling up on the dining table and quietly enjoyed their portions of breakfast.
At this time Dudley was counting his gifts, counting them, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Thirty-six," he said, looking up at his parents, "two less than last year."
Aunt Petunia patted Dudley's back gently in a comforting manner, turned around and coaxed him, "Dear, you haven't counted the gifts Aunt Maggie gave you. You see, before Mom and Dad gave you It’s under the big bag.”
Dudley turned over the gift his mother mentioned, but his expression did not soften and he said quietly: "That's thirty-seven."
His face turned red and he clasped his hands on the table, as if he was about to lift the table the next second.
Aunt Petunia obviously smelled the danger signal and said quickly: "When we go to the street today, we will buy you two more gifts. How about it, honey? Buy two more gifts. Is that okay?"
After finishing breakfast, Bai Lu put down the tableware in her hands, took a napkin to wipe her mouth, glanced at Dudley lightly, and suddenly felt her hands were itchy.
In her opinion, this naughty kid has been spoiled too much and needs to be dealt with. He just needs to be beaten a few more times.
Dudley was about to lose his temper when he suddenly noticed that Bai Lu glanced at him, and all the anger in his body suddenly deflated like a popped balloon.
Dudley was a little afraid of Bai Lu.
He didn't understand how Bai Lu's small body, which seemed unable to withstand his punch, was so strong.
Although he was arrogant, he didn't bother to bully girls. He just couldn't stand Harry's follower appearance. It was unbecoming for a manly man to always follow a girl.
What's more, she always protects Harry, but always ignores him, which makes him very unhappy, who has always been admired by many stars.
So, he and Pierre beat Harry up while Harry was alone that time.
Pierre grabbed Harry who was about to run away and cut his hands behind his back. Dudley punched Harry and broke Harry's glasses. He also threatened him not to complain to Bai Lu, although at that time he felt that even if Harry Even if he files a complaint, Bai Lu can't do anything to him.
But it turned out that Dudley was very wrong.
Seeing Harry's glasses taped up with Scotch tape, the bruises on his face, and the smug look Dudley occasionally looked at Harry, Bai Lu still didn't understand what was going on.
Although Harry kept comforting Bai Lu and said that he was fine, Bai Lu could not swallow this breath. She had always been the most protective of shortcomings.
The next day, Bai Lu took advantage of Dudley's break from school, dragged him and Pierre into a deserted alley, and beat them up with a smile, focusing on the most painful spots.
Dudley and Pier were beaten until they felt like their whole bodies were falling apart, but when they opened their clothes, they found no trace of the beating, not even a red mark, as if being beaten was just their illusion.
This made Dudley and the others want to complain, but no one believed them. Of course, according to the Dursleys' doting on Dudley, his complaint would be effective, but when he saw Bai Lu looking at him with a smile beside him, he immediately got goosebumps. They all got up, and their bodies seemed to be aching again.
After this time, Dudley became a lot more honest. Although he would secretly call her a stinky girl in private, at least he didn't dare to be so arrogant publicly, and he didn't dare to bully Harry again.
Dudley saw a hint of warning in Bai Lu's eyes, and knew that today was the day that Mr. Jones came to pick her and Harry out, and she would not let him make any trouble to prevent her from going out.
Thinking of this, Dudley felt a little bored. He stopped caring about how many gifts he received and began to eat his breakfast.
Aunt Petunia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly brought him a glass of milk, telling Dudley to eat slowly.
Harry also finished his share of breakfast and put away the dishes silently.
Looking at Dudley's pile of gifts, he was not envious. Ever since he was a child, Bai Lu would satisfy him whatever he wanted.
Although she was a child about the same age as him, she was always so gentle and tolerant towards him. It seemed that no matter what mistakes he made or what little temper he had, she would indulge him and forgive him.
He enjoyed her indulgence, but he didn't want to disappoint her. He had always been obedient and sensible.
No. 4 Privet Drive was just a residence for him. He had no sense of presence here. If it hadn't been for Bai Lu's request, he might have had to live in the storage room under the stairs, which was full of dust and spiders.
Although they were blood relatives, Aunt Petunia always treated him with an indifferent expression. Although she treated Bai Lu the same way, he knew that Aunt Petunia still had a hint of disgust towards him.
Especially when he was a child, when he asked her about the origin of the lightning-like scar on her forehead, the disgust on her face was particularly obvious.
"It was in the car accident that killed your parents," my aunt said. "Don't ask questions."
No questions asked, and peace with the Dursleys was the first rule.
Before going to bed at night, he couldn't help but ask Bai Lu this question. He always felt that she would know the answer to the question. Although she was still young, he had a blind trust in her.
She looked at him silently, and he couldn't understand the complexity in her eyes even when he recalled it now. He only felt her hand brushing his scar as gently as a feather, and her voice was gentler than before.
"Harry, this is protection and love."
She helped him tuck in the quilt, and before he asked, she gently covered his eyes with her hands. Endless sleep overwhelmed him, and in confusion, he heard her words that seemed to be far away.
"Have sweet dreams, Harry."
Then he fell into a sweet sleep.
After the conversation with Aunt Petunia, he knew that he was not welcome in this home. It was just for some reason that he could stay here. He was a little sad at first, but he soon felt relieved because he had a person who loved him very much. For a good person, the place with Bai Lu is his home.
Harry touched the triangular amulet in his pocket, at least that's what Bai Lu called it. It was a birthday present she gave him last year.
She sewed the amulet herself out of red cloth. She said it symbolized peace and could protect him from disaster, so she kept it close to his body at all times.
He liked this gift very much, not because it meant peace, but because it was a piece of her heart.
His birthday is coming soon. What will Bai Lu give him this time? Harry couldn't help but think.
However, as long as it is a gift from her, he likes it no matter what it is.
