Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

"You mean they often don't give you food?" Mr. Albert suddenly asked with frowning eyebrows sitting on the sofa nearby, "Is that why you are so thin?"

Mr. Albert just acted as a perfect background at the beginning, sitting quietly and reading the newspaper. But as Clooney's conversations and exchanges with Harry gradually deepened, he discovered that there seemed to be a big problem with the Dursleys.

"It's just when I'm disobedient, sir." Harry was interrupted, but he still answered honestly, "Sometimes I'm not disobedient and always mess up. At this time, they will I was put into confinement in my cupboard and only soup was given to me.”

"My parents died in a car accident, so they don't like me very much."

An orphan, surprisingly thin, although his clothes are still intact. Mr. Albert grabbed Harry's hand and looked left and right. There was a thin layer of calluses on it. This is simply the most direct target of the latest "Children's Act" introduced in the UK this year.

In order to keep up with the Convention on the Rights of the Child promulgated by the United Nations this year, the British government introduced a new bill this year to update the protection of children's basic rights and even link it to child allowances.

Mr. Abbott was very angry: As one of the few countries in the world that specializes in child welfare, the British government will provide benefits to families with children every month, regardless of their family income. This subsidy is not low and can definitely support children from ordinary families to live a prosperous childhood. Even - certain tax exemptions are given based on the number of children in the family.

Mr. Albert is usually unwilling to wade into other muddy waters, but for him, if he encounters some things and has the ability, why can't he lend a helping hand?

The Children's Act stipulates that if a child cannot receive effective care, the local government must take over to provide the necessary accommodation and living conditions for the child. If Harry was always living in beatings, scolding and hunger, the worst outcome would be to go to a boarding house that could at least keep him fed and clothed.

"Welfare and love are social. Children are not an island."

Before sending Harry home, Mr. Albert specially hid in the study with other adults in the family and talked for a long time, and then sent Harry home alone.

"We still have something to do," Mr. Albert said. "I have to chat with the Dursleys, which may take a long time, so it's not convenient for me to take you with me this time, Clowney."

The Dursleys got their wish and got in touch with the Alberts - they received a warning from Albert. Although Mr. Albert said it was just a friendly reminder, the Dursleys knew that as a The reminder from the Abbott family, which has a partnership with Childcare UK, may be more than just a "reminder".

Although Potter's little secret sometimes makes Mrs. Dursley hate Potter very much, she is also his aunt, and even being so deliberately bad is partly because they think that in this way, they can make this kind of thing in Potter. The uncontrollable force that had taken her sister away gradually faded away. They never wanted to let Porter leave their home - and who could say no to the extra monthly benefits and tax deductions? This little episode made the Dursleys extremely angry, but in their secret anger they also seemed to realize something.

"We will always be watching you." Mr. Albert said, smiled again, and shook hands with Mr. Dursley, "Of course, if there is an opportunity, I would also like to have more in-depth discussions with you. cooperate."

Clooney didn't know what happened at the Dursley's, but the next day, Harry put on thicker-looking clothes and a pair of gloves that looked a little old, and came to Aberdeen alone. Invited to play at Te's house, he looked extremely happy.

"I can't believe this, Claudia." He said excitedly, "Thank you so much, dad!"

Clooney could never imagine what it would be like to have no food and be beaten and scolded every day, but she knew it must feel terrible, so she was happy for Harry.

"Then let's just enjoy this happy time, shall we?"

In the next few days, Dali would occasionally come to Albert's house to play video games, but he seemed very well-behaved. He was sitting there chubby, looking extremely polite in everything he said and did. But Harry knew that only in Albert's house could Dali remain like this, but at least - they could play games together peacefully, and sometimes even cooperate to clear a game.

This was the happiest holiday Harry had ever had. Many of the things that made him unhappy seemed to disappear all at once. Those hidden and unknown secrets entangled him and brought him pain, as if Yesterday's events are almost as if they are about to disappear——

Christmas is coming soon, and the atmosphere of joy is beginning to spread everywhere in Surry County. Mr. Albert specially transported a large Christmas tree from nowhere and placed it in the center of the living room. Gifts that are ready but not yet opened.

Before coming to Surry County, Clowney had already prepared all the Christmas gifts for his friends and told the Mr. Owl House to deliver the gifts to the address closer to Christmas. She prepared a very special Muggle Christmas gift for her best friends: pens. He also used the alchemy magic circle he learned in the library to carve a small expansion magic circle with gilt material in the ink sac. To this end, she also studied hard with Professor McGonagall on the specific usage of the permanent change spell of small similar objects, and dedicated a nearly twenty-inch paper to this end...

But obviously, these little magics are very successful: each pen has a different style, and Clooney even made one for herself selfishly: she designed pens of different styles and colors according to different colleges, and also The symbolic animals of each of their colleges were carefully changed on the pen tip, and finally a circle of their respective names was used on the cap of the pen using engraving magic. All in all, Clowney himself was extremely satisfied.

Before Clooney went home, he gave Christmas gifts to his roommates. The gift was not expensive. It was two silver snake-shaped bookmarks. It was heavy but very delicate. Crowney loved these bookmarks so much that he stuck one on almost every book he was reading.

She prepared brooches set with rubies and sapphires for Ms. Duffin and Mr. Albert. Clooney enchanted them with a triggerable iron armor spell, but for some unknown reason, the material of the gems could only store the iron armor once. The magic of the curse. However, the protective formation of the gem was very successful. Clooney wondered if she had carved the wrong formation, causing the magic circuit that could have continuously supplied magic power for the Iron Armor Curse to be connected to the protective formation of the gem. She vowed that she would study other issues related to magic storage in the new year.

Grandparents, Claudine prepared two bottles of refreshing medicine and cough drops made by herself, because she couldn’t imagine what her grandparents were missing! Therefore, this kind of potion, which can directly affect specific symptoms and take effect quickly, became Crowney's first choice. But she still hoped that old Alberts wouldn't need to use these.

As for the little sisters who were originally in the Muggle world, she gave each of them a thick public booklet, which was filled with brief records and results of her studies in the Muggle world in the past six months, hoping to be helpful to their study career. help.
