Allen and the others sat on the longest row of sofas. Luna's hazy eyes fell on the cake that Dudley had messed up on the table. She leaned against the back of the sofa without interest. The Dursleys had prepared drinks for Dudley everywhere so that he could get them as close as possible to him as possible. However, it was clear that they had no intention of using them to entertain the weirdos.
"I've told you before that you're still one year away from being an adult. You weirdos probably have a screw loose in your head. Why would you think that you're less than 18 years old as an adult? Dumbledore must be muddle-headed. He's too unreliable …" Penny sat next to her husband with her arms crossed and said coldly, "So, your weird friends want to send you back to live here?"
"I don't agree!" Vernon waved his fists in the air angrily. His face had turned purple with anger. "Kid, when you left, you didn't say that you'd come back. When we took over this house, we didn't design your room."
"Now that you've become rich, this poor kid is here to freeload. We've raised him for so many years, but he's become a burden that we can't get rid of. It's a waste of space to keep this kind of scum alive." Maggie's disdainful gaze swept across Snape, who had the brightest colors on him. "It's fine if a few children came here to scam for food and drinks, but you adults who crawled out from god knows which slum have the cheek to come here?"
This made the Dursleys a little embarrassed. They didn't tell Maggie that this house was actually bought by Harry's godfather. Dudley raised his eyebrows. He tried not to look at the weirdos other than Harry. His fat chin trembled. "Aunt, at least Harry isn't a waste of space."
Penny held her husband's arm and whispered in his ear, "Vernon, this house was given to us by the murderer … I think we can ask him to come back and stay for a while during the summer vacation."
Hearing his wife's words, Vernon seemed to be in a difficult position. He narrowed his eyes, bared his teeth, and a blood vessel throbbed at his temple. Loving his wife, he reluctantly said, "Alright, for Penny's sake, if you behave yourself, you can come back during the summer vacation."
"You've misunderstood. I don't want to come back during the summer vacation." Harry raised his voice. He had no way of interrupting the Dursley family's self-righteous guesses and taunts.
"You don't want to come back during the summer vacation? Then you want to come back during the Christmas vacation? " Vernon was even more puzzled. He frowned......... "Kid, don't play tricks... be honest with me.....".......
Harry had never been home for the Christmas holidays since he was eleven, and Penny was a little annoyed. She thought that if he came back this time, it would not be a happy Christmas. Vernon looked at Harry suspiciously. The little monster had lived in his house for so many years, and they had never had the habit of visiting relatives at Christmas, let alone bringing so many weirdos with them.
.......... I said before that I won't live in your house anymore. I mean it. I mean it. "Harry quickly said," We're here to … "
"You ungrateful little liar. You brought a group of poor and lazy beggars, and your bitch mother …" Maggie's chubby mouth rumbled. Suddenly, her voice stopped. She leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling with misty eyes.
This sudden change made Vernon let out a strange cry, like a mouse that had been stepped on. He shouted in panic, "What did you do to my sister?! Maggie! Maggie, are you okay?! "
"She'll wake up in a few hours." Snape retracted his wand and clenched his jaw slightly. He looked at Maggie who was trapped in the illusion with a gloomy expression. "What is about to happen next is not something this noisy female Muggle can listen to. Our brave Mr. Potter has obviously neglected this point."
"You can't do anything to us!" Penny's face was pale. She clenched her skinny fingers tightly. She had some understanding of the magic world. She questioned in a trembling voice, "This is too rude! I know you can use gentler means and let her go out by herself … "
Luna's white and slender fingers hooked the carrot earrings on her ears. She said casually, "Would it be better if I let her dream of Colonel Fabster?"
"Don't make these threats. I know how powerful you are!" Penny took Luna's words as a threat. But anger suppressed her fear of these strange people. She shook her hands and looked at Snape, who was the oldest in the group. "So, my nephew, why did you bring them here?"
"Severus, I think for the Dursleys, rather than me and Harry telling them the news …" Allen turned to look at the gloomy Snape. "You're an adult and a professor. They'll be more willing to listen to your explanation."
Hearing this name, Penny was stunned. She suspiciously looked at Snape, who was dressed the fanciest. She pressed her hand to her chest and was so surprised that her long face became longer. His disdainful attitude, his dirty face, and his greasy mud-like hair …
"Our great Principal Harris wants to take you to live in the floating city in the magic world." Snape looked at Maggie coldly. He didn't want to pay too much attention to this stupid female Muggle, but he didn't want to ruin the conversation. "As for the reason …"
"Are you really Snape? Severus Snape! Why did you come to my house?! " Penny's voice didn't have much fear, but it was full of anger and disbelief. She stared at the man in front of her, who looked like a rapper, and matched him with the freak she had known since she was a child.
Vernon's puzzled eyes wandered between his wife and this strange man. He had met his wife not long after she started working, but he had never heard that she knew such a strange man.
"Wait, you want us to live in the world of the freaks?" Vernon suddenly realized the meaning of Snape's words. His big purple face turned to Snape and asked, "Why do you want us to live in the world of the freaks? Did you have some kind of demon? Will you put us in danger? … No! Wait, this house is mine now! No one can drive us away from this house! "
"No one wants to occupy any of your houses!!! There's no demon!!! "Harry roared.
Vernon immediately shouted back, "Then why do we have to live in your place?!!!"
"Why are you so loud? Is someone hard of hearing?!" Luna joined in and raised her voice.
This made Harry wilt, and his expression began to turn gloomy. Uncle Vernon always liked to use money to define problems, but how should he explain it to his aunt and the others? They were so against magic. He hesitated.
"You know, Potter is an arrogant boy …" Snape's tone was full of contempt when he said the name. He continued in a cold tone, "He's currently studying magic in Hogwarts … I'm sure you have some understanding of magic, right?"
Snape's attitude towards the name pleased Vernon and Penny, which made them more patient with Snape's words. It was still acceptable to listen to someone who didn't like Harry, even if he was a freak.
"From the day we picked him up, we decided not to let such strange things happen again, but in the end, he ended up like my sister … on this path." Penny looked at Snape with some hatred. "Lily shouldn't have come into contact with a freak like you …"
"Yes! Nothing good happens every time I see them. " Vernon's tense nerves relaxed a little when he judged that the man in front of him had little to do with his wife, but more to do with his wife's sister. "Ever since I met that rude and arrogant brother-in-law, I knew that I should stay away from people like him. “
"And that big man who looks like a savage, Harry, your godfather who's a murderer, the red-haired man who blew up our fireplace … No one, no one can show us even a little bit of civility and courtesy." Penny counted with her fingers the few times in her life that she had interacted with wizards other than her sister and Severus.
"It's better than ignorance and greed!" Harry retorted angrily.
Snape was a little annoyed when Penny said that Lily shouldn't have known him, but he obviously enjoyed hearing people's bad impression of Sirius and James. Before Vernon could retort, he said to Harry in a strange tone, "Mr. Potter, listen to other people's opinions … It'll let your walnut-sized brain understand the truth better."
On the other side, Harris' family of three was sitting on the sofa. At least two of them seemed to enjoy the situation in front of them. They went through a lot of trouble to invite Snape over just to watch this scene.
