"Shut up your rhetoric. Don't think I don't know what you think. For Lily's sake, I adopted this child. But I never want him to have anything to do with the wizarding world. Since you don't agree , then you take him away and don’t come back again, I can’t control his life and death in the future. Our house is not a random shelter.”

After Penny finished saying these words, the atmosphere among several people suddenly became more rigid.No one spoke, only Petunia's rapid panting due to anger could be heard.

After a while, Dumbledore finally asked, "Mrs. Dursley, you should have known about Harry's special situation from my letter. You must stay with you for at least one month of the year. Only in order to ensure his safety and your own safety. I am grateful that you did not abandon this child when he needed you most. Only now, I want to reconfirm that you did not say these words on the spur of the moment."

Petunia opened her mouth, but didn't speak. Dumbledore just stood there quietly waiting for Petunia's answer.Everyone was looking at this woman who was so hysterical before, as if the fate of the well-behaved little boy next door was on her mind.

"I know the blood magic you cast," Penny paused, and said dryly, "I can accept getting along with you for only one month every year, but no matter how long it takes, please forgive me for being helpless. I want to go through In this case, you will not believe how well he can be treated, and we absolutely do not want our normal life to be disrupted because of this child, and even be monitored because of it. One month a year, no more. "

When Petunia was speaking, everyone looked at her. When she finished speaking, Dumbledore sighed unconsciously, but did not refute anything.And Brian even thought it was for the best.

"Anyway, as I said, even though you don't see him as your own child at all, and even have a negative image of his growth because of some prejudice and neglect, I still want to thank you, at least you didn't refuse to treat him. His protection. Since this is the case, I think we can reach a new agreement." Dumbledore accepted Petunia's statement calmly, and then proposed with a deliberate tone.Seeing that Petunia didn't have any excited reaction, he went on to say: "little Harry lives in your house for a month during the summer vacation every year. During this month, I think someone will monitor his health. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused your family. As for the other eleven months of the year, I can assure you that he will not have any contact with you and will never disturb your normal life. "

After Dumbledore finished all the contents of the agreement, Petunia nodded without any hesitation. She stared straight at Dumbledore, trying to judge the sincerity of the other party.After a long time, she nodded resolutely, and then pulled her fat husband and son away without looking back. She didn't even stop halfway. If it weren't for her fists with white knuckles, no one would have noticed The woman's inner struggle.

Looking at the backs of Penny's family of three, Brian sighed in his heart, sometimes blood relationship is not so fascinating.Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked at Snape again.

Snape's face was still ashen at this moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.But obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore's previous behaviors.

"I think you should explain, Dumbledore." Snape stared at Dumbledore, and the suppressed tone in his voice made it hard to guess, "This is the second time."

Dumbledore looked at Snape wearily. Of course he knew what the other party meant by the second time. This was the second time he failed to fulfill his promise. The first time was the death of the Potters.

"For this matter, I have to apologize for my negligence." Dumbledore's tone was low, and it could be seen that he was also very guilty of what happened to little Harry, "You should know that Lily's magic can only be used when there is a blood relationship. In addition, Harry's reputation in the wizarding world is too great, and it is not beneficial for children to grow up in such an environment. It's just that I didn't expect Harry to live such a life..."

Looking at the tone and expression of the shrewd and energetic old man, Brian felt uncomfortable in his heart. He comforted softly: "This matter is not all your fault, Principal Dumbledore. Besides, it has already happened." At this point, the most important thing now is that we arrange for the next guardian of little Harry. I don't think you want this to happen again."

Dumbledore nodded slowly, seemingly thinking about something.After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he returned to his usual expression: "I will settle this matter. Let's go, now let's go see little Harry and tell him the news."

Dumbledore glanced at Snape hesitantly, and then walked to the next door without saying anything.At this moment, little Harry was still sipping the cream cake bought by Brian, and he didn't know what agreement these adults had reached next door.

"Harry..." Dumbledore squatted beside Harry, looking at him, and called out.

When little Harry heard his name, he obediently put down the spoon in his hand, and then looked at Dumbledore blankly.

"Because of your health," Dumbledore spoke slowly, as if he was thinking about how to speak so as not to hurt this distressed child, "I think you need to go with us to a place for treatment for a while."

Little Harry understood Dumbledore's words, he nodded obediently, then thought about it, and asked shyly, "Aunt Petunia agrees?"

Dumbledore nodded with a smile, and then explained: "But they are in a hurry, so they are leaving first. They will contact us when they finish their work."

After hearing Dumbledore's words, little Harry's expression suddenly collapsed. He put down the cake that had made him so happy before, and then asked in a tearful voice, "Did Aunt Petunia not want me anymore?"

No one thought that this child would be so sensitive, and everyone was stunned.Such a reaction made little Harry more firm in his guess.His big green eyes were filled with tears immediately, swirling in the eye sockets that couldn't be shed.Little Harry sobbed softly, crying, and said, "Because I'm a monster, so Aunt Petunia doesn't want me? I, I promise to be obedient in the future, please... can you, can you let Petunia Aunt Ni took me home?"

The sobbing sound of a child is like the meowing of a kitten, not loud, but enough to make people feel pain.Seeing such a little Harry, Brian couldn't help but stepped forward to hug the child, and while stroking his thin back, he said: "Our little Harry is not a monster, you are the cutest boy in the world." Aunt Petunia didn't want you either..."

Brian kept repeating these words, and kept stroking the baby with his hands.I don't know how long it took before little Harry fell asleep sobbing.At this time, Brian's casual coat was already soaked by little Harry's tears, and the child's little hands held on to Brian's coat tightly, even when he fell asleep, it showed how insecure he was feel.

Brian held the child, glanced at Dumbledore disapprovingly, and asked softly, "What should we do now?"

Dumbledore looked at the sleeping child in Brian's arms, and could only decide that the three of them would take the child back to Hogwarts in a flying carriage.

Before leaving, Dumbledore restored the messy dentist's clinic because of Harry's magic riot.

"I'm really sorry for the trouble I caused you today." Dumbledore looked at Chris and his wife apologetically, "Today's matter is related to the future of the wizarding world, as well as countless lives, and I hope you, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, can keep it a secret. "

Because of Brian's relationship, Chris and his wife didn't even question him discreetly, and waved their hands quickly, expressing that they would never leak a word.Dumbledore nodded in relief, thanked him, and left the clinic.

Seeing the actions of Dumbledore and Snape, Brian could only blink at the couple apologetically, gestured with his lips to contact them in a few days, and then followed the pace of the two.

Brian looked at the light child in his arms who seemed to have no weight, and secretly sighed. He didn't know what was going to welcome this child when he arrived in the magic world.
