[HP] Seven Nights Talk

Summer at 4 Privet Drive is as sweltering as ever.It was the hottest hour of the day, the sun was pouring down unscrupulously, the leaves were drooping down, and the sound of insects was weak.No one wants to be outside at a time like this, so the usual noise of cars being wiped and lawns being mowed is muted, and everyone is pacing around their houses fidgeting.

Such people, of course, included the Dursleys.We must sincerely say that such weather is undoubtedly a torture for a fat man like the Dursleys.They were all sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, their upper bodies were shirtless, and a large bag of ice cubes was wrapped on their hands and heads.It's an indecent image for conservative Brits, but they're also just too hot.

"Mum and Dad, when will he be picked up," Dudley asked, his voice full of impatience.With his swaying fat head, ice water and sweat mixed and dripped down the side of his face.But even so, he managed to control the volume so that it wouldn't spread upstairs.

Petunia Dursley was in better shape than he was.She was coming from the kitchen with freshly made ice in a bag. "Keep your voice down," she said, tense at the subject, "we don't know how many people are going to hear it."

Vernon hummed in his rocker, but that was all he dared to do. "Just wait and see," he said gruffly, with obvious reluctance in his tone, "the kid will definitely leave before the end of July."

None of them like wizards, but it must be admitted that wizards can really do things they can't even imagine.In the years since Harry had been at Hogwarts, the Dursleys had come to a conclusion they didn't really want to know - Harry seemed to be well-loved in the wizarding world.Not to mention others, just a godfather who appeared out of nowhere is enough.

Vernon believed that whoever had received a Howler letter (which Harry explained once) before their first meeting would not have had a very good impression of that person.Not to mention the later - Sirius came to the door several times in person, and he didn't look good at all. One of them brought a letter from the Ministry of Magic to connect to the Floo network.

Although it was only for temporary use, Vernon was still very upset about using it once a year at most—why did he have to receive those weird people?Since when is there a department in the government called the Ministry of Magic?How could his hearth have a green flame?Who wants to see several big living people disappearing inside one by one?

This thought has been tormenting him.So Vernon is staring at the fireplace now, with small round eyes, rather vicious. "Then hurry up! Take that brat away, and we can go to Majorca's villa for summer vacation!"

But the fireplace was silent.

Dudley grumbled too.Although he had been bullying Harry since childhood, things had changed over the years.To be honest, most of the children who bully are because they are spoiled too much, especially when parents treat them differently.After Harry received the Hogwarts admission letter, he worried for a whole year, fearing that Harry would use magic to retaliate against him when he came back.But this incident did not happen during the summer vacation of the first year, nor did it happen in the second or third year; there were no strange rumors outside.In the end, he decided that this should be a sign of reconciliation, so he was less nervous, and now he is just complaining casually.

Petunia rolled her eyes around them, but didn't answer.Of course she knew why Harry always left before the end of July, obviously someone had to celebrate his birthday.She couldn't deny that no one had noticed the day since Harry was carried to the Dursleys' door.Besides, Harry was so thin, it was hard to deny that it was not due to malnutrition since he was a child.Coupled with the fact that they often use Harry to do various things and expose Harry to domestic violence, she feels very guilty——

She'd seen Sirius and had no doubts about what would happen to them after Harry described them carefully to each other.But they're all sitting in their living room, with nothing to worry about except a little sweat, and she thinks she should thank God for it.

Vernon didn't notice that his wife and son didn't answer him, they just complained to themselves.He could only do so much, and now was no longer the time for him to shake his fist at Harry casually.

As for Harry on the second floor, he didn't know anything about what happened in the living room below, and he was squatting on the ground to pack his suitcase.On the table not far away was a letter in Sirius' handwriting.There are a few recent things written on it, but there is only one most important thing - the Order of the Phoenix has found traces of other wizards around No. 4 Privet Drive, and thinks it is best to transfer him away in advance.

There are deeper reasons for this.After learning of Harry's relationship with Voldemort, Dumbledore rechecked Harry's security measures.As a result, he was surprised to find that the traces that should have existed in Harry had disappeared.That is to say, as long as Harry is lucky and powerful enough, he can slip out under the noses of members of the Order of the Phoenix in the first few summer vacations without alarming the Ministry of Magic and others.This also explains one thing, the timing of Harry's appearance at the Death Eater meeting.

This also made him suspicious, thinking that the blood protection of No. 4 Privet Drive might have been too weak to be effective, so it seemed unnecessary for Harry to go back once a year.

Fewer people know about it.But Harry guessed that whoever knew about it was headed in the most likely direction - that he was of age.Because only this reason can explain the disappearance of Zongsi and bloodline protection at the same time.And why it is an adult plus his comprehensive performance, the speculation of a future return is also coming out... But neither Sirius nor Dumbledore kept silent about it; they obviously don't want to see what happened last Christmas again.

Harry personally felt that the two of them had figured it out, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. It probably didn't belong to the category of leaks—it was their own inference based on clues.

Although the two did not ask Harry, this does not mean that they completely trust Voldemort or the Death Eaters-obviously, the other wizards that the members of the Order of the Phoenix bumped into near Privet Drive could only be Death Eaters, because except Death Eaters Nobody else has a reason to do that.They didn't want Harry to take any risk now, so of course they could only try to arrange Harry in a safer place.Besides, there is also a dangerous dark wizard who doesn't know who is wandering outside, and the risk factor is even much higher than the controlled Death Eaters.

But they didn't know that Harry was going to deal with this dangerous dark wizard, and it was something that had been planned long ago.He stuffed the last thing into the box, closed it hard, and fastened the buckles on the side of the box one by one.Then he stood up and took Sirius' letter from under his wand, revealing another letter underneath.He picked it up and waved to Hedwig on the wardrobe, and the snowy owl flew over immediately.

"Give it to Sirius, and stay there and never come back," said Harry, tying the letter to the owl's leg.

The snowy owl turned its head to look at him, then pecked his fingers twice, looking very puzzled.

"I have something to do." Harry stroked its furry head. "I'll definitely be back before school starts, huh? Just wait for me." In any case, he couldn't take his owl on an adventure with him.

Hedwig didn't know what he was going to do, but clearly understood the meaning of not seeing Harry for a long time.It clicked its mouth twice, as if to express its reluctance.

Harry had to carry it to the window. "Go quickly. If it goes well, I may be back in a few days."

Hedwig was obviously more satisfied with this answer.It pecked Harry's finger again, then spread its snow-white wings, and soon became a small dot on the horizon.

Harry watched it leave and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.But before he could finish his breath, he heard a voice from behind. "Packed up? Faster than I thought. Missing your owl, though?"

He turned his head, and saw Voldemort entered the room at some point, standing behind him, his gaze flashed past the parchment on the table.Harry walked over, took the holly wand and waved it, and finally the rest of the letter disappeared. "Are you going to take Nagini with you?" Harry asked back after finishing all this.

Voldemort laughed. "Of course not. But it wasn't as easy to pass as yours, and I ended up having to send her far away."

Harry took a couple of seconds to think about what a tough way he'd said "had to".In the end, he felt that if he knew owl language, it might be difficult for Hedwig to fool him.But that's beside the point.Putting his wand back in his pocket, he asked, "Just take my luggage? Is he really going back there again?"

Voldemort glanced at the box on the ground, but did not immediately answer the first question. "I can't say 100%, but it's very likely. If I was alone, I would never go to any place where I might encounter many enemies. But I definitely need a place to stay, and I must have a relatively full understanding of that location." understanding."

Harry nodded, which made sense.Whether it's Hogwarts or Diagon Alley, whether it's the Ministry of Magic or St. Mungo's, the ring may go, but it's impossible to stay there all the time, because it will undoubtedly increase the probability of his being discovered.Such caution can protect oneself, but it is indeed difficult to do things, not to mention that Voldemort deliberately created many obstacles.And speaking of familiar places, the ring had been buried in that ruin from the very beginning.

"He can't be out all month," Harry said, pulling up the box. "Even if we're sitting on the sidelines, we'll have to wait for him."

"Of course," said Voldemort, "but I think you should leave your luggage here, because it will be picked up soon."

"Who are you talking about?" Harry was a little confused, "You brought other people here?" Could it be that Voldemort specially called a Death Eater to help him with his luggage?Can't it?

Voldemort pulled him to the window and clasped his waist with one hand. "Only we know certain information, only we can find myself—do you think we are the only ones who know this?" If Dumbledore didn't know about the Horcrux and didn't see the ring itself, could it be Well even their destination will be discovered.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Harry felt a familiar sense of dizziness—Voldemort had Apparated with him.At this moment, he heard faint hurried footsteps coming from the stairs.I don't know who the hell the Order of the Phoenix is, he thought.But no matter who it is, seeing his room is empty, it will be a very bad expression, right?

A few seconds later, the door of the room was pushed open.Sirius looked at the empty room and packed luggage in disbelief, and said angrily: "Harry really went! How could he—! How old is he!" Although according to their guess, Harry is extremely likely to He's an adult, but that doesn't change the fact that Harry is his godson. "Aren't we already ahead of time? How about Harry..." He took two steps irritably, and suddenly realized. "...He wanted to go a long time ago! He just didn't say anything!"

Dumbledore stood at the door, his face calm.Is that really the case?Although Harry seemed to have made a compromise, in essence he didn't want anyone in his way?
