A sharp Hogwarts

Diagon Alley, in front of the Magic Zoo store.

"I can't seem to get in, there's something here-"

Penny stopped half a meter away from the door, raised her hand and groped in the air in front of her.

The air in front of her suddenly became thicker, and every step she took felt like she was walking through a swamp.

"The magical zoo has a magic barrier to prevent the beasts inside from rushing out and scaring people - of course, the beasts outside can't get in either."

Dalia turned her head and found a pale, thin boy with light blond hair standing next to her, holding an owl cage in his hand.

"Oh, sorry - I thought alternative people should be somewhat self-aware."

He spoke slowly and in a long, annoying tone, "It's best not to let annoying beasts roam the streets, especially in Hogwarts, don't you think?"

As the boy spoke, he looked up and down at Dalia and Petunia with a very uncomfortable look.

This reminded Petunia of Dudley's expression while watching the monkey show when their family went to the zoo not long ago.

"Oh. I can see that you are domesticated." Dalia raised her eyebrows and said indifferently.

"What did you say--"

The boy's original calm expression disappeared, and a blush appeared on his pale cheeks.

"Draco, don't talk to dirty bastards-"

Before the boy could continue to speak, a cold woman's voice suddenly sounded.

"Let's go. Your father has taken a seat at Ollivander's side. It's time for us to choose a magic knife for you."

One of the witches glanced at Dalia and the two with disgust and pulled the boy away, as if she had seen something dirty.

"You stop for me—"

However, before she could take a step forward, Penny suddenly took a step forward, raised her hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist directly.

The usually cautious Petunia Dursley seemed to be a different person, glaring at the witch menacingly, like an angry lioness.

"You guy, who do you think is a dirty guy? You think you are great, a frigid old witch - you better keep your mouth clean -"

"Let go, you filthy savage—"

The witch was caught off guard and staggered, and her expression instantly turned cold.

The next moment, a delicate chef's knife slipped out of her sleeve and swung at Penny's wrist mercilessly.

"mom, Mom, Mom--"

At this moment, a panicked scream suddenly sounded in her ears.

The witch suddenly turned around and saw an ugly, heavy kitchen knife she had never seen placed on Draco's neck.

The witch's eyes shrank violently, and her expression suddenly became terrifying.

"You! You are looking for death! You little bitch——"

"Introduce yourself, Dahlia, Dahlia Dursley. The new student at Hogwarts this year. Mrs. Malfoy."

"Oh, so you think I don't dare to touch you? Do you think I will be afraid of Hogwarts - little girl, you are going to cause a big trouble this time."

The furious Narcissa Malfoy did not wonder why the other party knew her. There was only one thought in her mind now:

She wanted to teach this girl a lesson for daring to threaten her son.

Dalia looked at the furious Mrs. Malfoy not far away and calmed down, her mind spinning rapidly.

She didn't expect Penny to be so impulsive - she was a witch!

Even in the original work, ordinary people are in danger in front of wizards, let alone a world where wizards carry controlled knives with them.

Therefore, she must find a way to intimidate the other party...

"But I also have a cousin who happens to be enrolling this year. You should have heard of his name - Harry Potter."

"Since the incident with Voldemort ten years ago, Professor Dumbledore entrusted Harry to my parents, and he has been living with us these years."

As the names "Voldemort" and "Harry Potter" appeared, there was an immediate commotion among the onlookers.

And Narcissa Malfoy trembled unconsciously, and her original furious madness gradually turned into a trace of fear.

"That's it, Mrs. Malfoy—"

Dalia glanced at Narcisse Malfoy, who was gradually calming down, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, if the opponent really carelessly chanted spells and slashed at Petunia, she would have no other way to counterattack except holding Malfoy on his back.

"But you may have to remind your dear son that there are no parents around to protect you at Hogwarts. Improper words can easily get you angry-"

"Are you threatening me?" Mrs. Malfoy said slowly and coldly, staring nervously at the ugly knife in the girl's hand.

In all these years, she had never seen such an ugly yet disturbing junior kitchen knife.

It looked more like a lethal mutant butcher knife that only senior students would use.

"Oh, of course not - I was just pointing out a possibility."

"after all……"

Dalia took a long breath, narrowed her lake-blue eyes slightly, and looked at Mrs. Malfoy not far away.

"Madam, you don't want to see Draco being bullied at Hogwarts, do you?"

…………

A moment later, Florin Foske Ice Cream Parlor.

Dalia was digging into the ice cream and flipping through "Hogwarts: A History of the School".

According to the previous agreement, Harry would eventually join them here and then return to No. 4 Privet Drive to wait for the start of school.

Next to her, Penny was still a little bit dissatisfied - because of the conflict just now, Dalia did not buy her pet in the end.

On the one hand, the staff of the Magical Zoo did not dare to offend Mrs. Malfoy, but at the same time, they did not want to offend Dalia and her group, who had some "savior relatives" background.

Therefore, before Dahlia and Penny could even enter the store, the Magic Zoo announced that it would close half an hour early today.

In fact, it was almost close to closing time. Even if they knew that the other party was intentional, Dalia and Penny could only suffer such a dumb loss.

Although there is an Easy Owl Shop at the other end of Diagon Alley, neither Petunia nor Dahlia mentioned this alternative... With the incident involving Mrs. Malfoy and the Magical Zoo, they are now determined not to After buying an owl, the two planned to come back in a few days to see if the Magic Zoo would be closed during the day.

"Okay, Mum - owls are not necessary. There is a public owlhouse on the tower of Hogwarts Castle."

Dalia raised the copy of "Hogwarts: A School History" in her hand and comforted her softly, "Besides, I can't even take care of myself, so the matter of pets is not urgent..."

"No! Absolutely not-"

"Dalia, you may not quite understand the importance of magic pets to wizards."

Petunia said with a serious expression, "For example, the boy and the owl in Harry's hand are no less important helpers than the magic knife."
