Hearing this unexpected news, Penny's two thin eyebrows jumped up in surprise. Her large eyes bulged and widened into two large circles. She stood there with her mouth agape like a wooden puppet. After hearing the second half of Harry's sentence, her gaze was fixed on Allen.
"You're telling me that this boy who is the same age as Dudley can turn himself into a wizard? Even Dumbledore can't do that! " Penny's nerves were instantly hurt. She looked at her nephew angrily and questioned loudly, "Harry Potter! Don't tell me such ridiculous things! I don't want to become a weirdo at all. Also, what's your goal? Are you trying to play with us like your father?! "
"Penny Evans … Mr. Potter has at least told the truth about this matter. You and your son will have the opportunity to learn magic." Snape's tone was impatient. "The world of wizards is different from Muggle … Allen Harris beside me has become the headmaster of Hogwarts. He and one of the founders of Hogwarts … have found a way for you to receive this gift. He invited you to live in his city for this purpose."
After Dudley understood, he subconsciously moved his body away from his mother. He had played many computer games and had experience in the fantasy world of wizards. Unlike normal Muggle players, he knew that there were people in this world who could do it.
"If I have this ability …"
Dudley pinched his knuckles. In the future, if he met someone he wanted to punch, he might not even need to use his fists. Imagining those arrogant students in Westminster who didn't even look him in the eye, Dudley's fat chin trembled. His fear of freaks turned into his yearning for freaks, causing him to laugh out loud.
Realizing that everyone was staring at him, Dudley stuttered, "Harry, you're saying that I can be like you …"
"Don't listen to his nonsense! Dudley, those are all lies! Don't even think about it. We won't be fooled. " Uncle Vernon stared at Snape with a pair of piggy eyes. The slight fondness he had for Snape because they had slandered James and Harry together turned into vigilance. "I don't believe a single word. I don't agree. Penny and Dudley don't need it either. Now, please leave my house! "
"You can't make decisions for them," Snape said in a low voice. The black man's fingers under his loose coat twitched.
Vernon, who had just stood up, lost his footing and fell back onto the sofa as if he had bumped into an invisible wall. This also made the fat man realize that these weirdos in front of him were not to be trifled with.
"How dare you? This is my house! " Penny screamed at Snape. She held onto her husband's arm and helped him to sit upright again. "Now Dudley is in Westminster! He has a bright future ahead of him. We don't need and don't want to be like you! "
"When Dudley was attacked by the Dementors previously, it was all thanks to Harry who had magic to protect him …" Alan spoke from the side. His finger tapped on the coffee table lightly. "The explosion before Dudley's summer vacation, the plane crash, the train derailed, and the missing people and deaths … I believe the Phoenix Society has told you that the people from our world are the ones behind all these?"
There was a moment of silence. Aunt Penny saw Allen's gaze lingering on Maggie and Vernon for a moment. She knew what he was trying to say. They were powerless in front of the weirdos. If they were to encounter those bad guys next time …
Penny looked worriedly at her son who was fiddling with his thick sausage-like fingers as he recalled the previous attack. She softened her tone and said, "Can you guarantee his safety when he's in the weirdo's city? He's not walking into a trap? When can he go home? Wait until the summer break like my nephew? I remember that Hogwarts only accepts students below the age of 11 … "
"The safest place in the world is Hogwarts!" Harry knew that Lord Voldemort who had been defeated many times did not have the courage and ability to return to England to cause trouble. However, he understood Allen's intention and began to agree with him proudly. "The Muggle World caused so much trouble because they didn't dare to cause trouble in Allen's place!"
"I don't agree. They're just trying to scare you. I will never allow my son to become a weirdo like that." Vernon panted heavily. His thick black mustache moved up and down. His big face was still purplish red. "Penny, think about the money and effort we spent to get Dudley to go to Westminster. Do you really want him to become a weirdo like your sister?"
Penny clutched her clothes tightly. She looked like she was about to suffocate. When Vernon mentioned her sister who died young, it reminded her of the cause of her sister's death. Although she had always claimed that her sister and brother-in-law died in a car accident, she knew very well what happened to her sister. Lily and the others were killed even though they lived in the remote Godric Valley. It was too dangerous for ordinary people like them who had no ability to resist the wizards.
"After I became the headmaster, I reformed the admission regulations." Allen interrupted a little mischievously. "After Christmas, because of similar reasons, your Prime Minister Muggle will also live on the floating city for a while."
"Even the Prime Minister?" Penny was misled by Allen's words into thinking that it was a matter of safety. She moved forward and pressed her hands on her son. "Dear, we have to think about Dudley … If he can get their protection there, I think he should go to a safer place. He deserves the best arrangement."
"This is ridiculous, Penny!" Vernon felt the blood in his body turn cold. He looked at his wife in shock. "How can you make Dudley give up Westminster just because of a few words from them … go to a place you and I have never heard of and hand it over to those unreliable weirdos …"
Dudley gently broke away from his mother's embrace and turned to Vernon. "Dad … I want to go with Harry and the others."
"Dudley?" Vernon was frightened. "You want to go with …"
After being glanced at by Allen, Harry said awkwardly, "Uncle, aunt … I think you didn't understand. There was a misunderstanding … Dudley is not going with us …"
"Kid, what did you say?" Vernon glared at his wife's nephew and asked fiercely.
"If your Muggle's English is the same as our wizard's English …" Snape said impatiently. "We were talking about your family moving to Headmaster Harris' city."
"I understand, Madam Dursley. For you … magic doesn't give you a good impression …" Alan's tone seemed to be filled with understanding towards Penny. "You hate magic because it first took away your sister's friendship with you and made her spend every day with the weirdo you think is dangerous … our Professor Snape. Then, magic took away your parents' love and made them cheer for her ability all the time … You're jealous of your sister who has magic and tried to pray for it from Dumbledore … but you failed in the end … and when you were finally able to leave everything behind, magic finally took away your sister herself … Magic has indeed been taking away something from you …" He leaned towards Dursley. "Not only can I make Dali cast spells, I can also make you fulfill your childhood dream … because I think this time, magic should bring you something …" He leaned towards Dursley. "Not only can I make Dali cast spells, I can also make you fulfill your childhood dream … because I think this time, magic should bring you something …"
After hearing Allen's words, Vernon realized that his wife also prayed to become a weirdo. He looked at his wife and realized that Penny seemed to be struggling to deal with some thoughts that were difficult to express in words.
After a moment of seemingly painful inner struggle, Penny asked in a very low voice, "What about my husband?"
"Lily is a wizard, so Mrs. Dursley and Dudley have the bloodline of magic." Allen glanced at Luna and reminded his wife to focus on her husband's expression. "Vernon's situation is a little special … You can think of it as he doesn't have the bloodline of weirdos … But I have a way to solve the problem …"
Vernon obviously didn't listen to Allen's words. His pupils shrank sharply, and the chain in his brain seemed to break in an instant, leaving a blank. His wife and son were convinced by them. He realized in his heart that if his wife and son became those weird people, then he was the only one in the family who was normal … No! To Penny and Dudley, he was the weirdo who couldn't cast spells in the family … The weirdo turned out to be himself …
This made Vernon's purplish face shake vigorously. His mind was spinning rapidly as he exhaled heavily. With a hint of pleading, he asked his wife a very realistic question, "Penny, but what about my business? How can our family survive without a job … "
Allen's tone seemed to be full of understanding for Vernon. He said considerately, "The Umbrella Group that has been in the limelight in the Muggle World recently is my family's business … I think if you go to our place, it won't be difficult for you to continue your business. After all, we modified your drill bit and used it in my colonization … Ugh, I mean the mining business of developing land … Not counting the subsidies I give you in this aspect, your nephew and his godfather are quite rich in the wizard world …"
