Elwyn calmed himself down and followed his parents into the house. WwW.AiQuXs.cOM
The first people he saw were Mr. Vernon Dursley in his tuxedo and bow tie, and Dudley, who was as stout as a piglet.
"Good evening!"
"Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Mason." Dudley forced a disgusting smile onto his face. "Can I hold your clothes for you?"
"Thank you, child!" Elwyn's mother pulled out Elwyn, who was hiding behind her, and introduced him to Dudley, "This is our family's little Elwyn. He will also be entering Smiting Middle School this year. You must take care of him in school."
"It's my pleasure, Madam!"
Seeing that Dudley seemed to want to give him a hug, Elwyn hurriedly took half a step back to avoid the other party. He followed his parents into the living room, exchanging pleasantries while quietly looking around.
It was obvious that the room had been meticulously cleaned up for today's gathering.
The kitchen not far away was filled with a rich aroma. Pudding for dinner was on top of the fridge. On the dining table was a pile of cream cakes and violets sprinkled with icing sugar. A large piece of roast meat was sizzling in the oven.
But that was not what Elwyn was looking for. Just like the book, there was nothing in the house that had anything to do with Harry Potter. Obviously, the Dursleys did not want outsiders to know about their unusual nephew.
The corners of Elwyn's mouth curled up slightly. That poor child should be quietly hiding in the small room upstairs, not making a single sound and pretending that he was not at home.
Thinking of this, he felt that he had to do something.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Dursley." Elwyn interrupted Dudley's silly joke about a Japanese golfer. "You know, I don't often visit other people's homes, and I'm very curious about everything here. If you don't mind, I'd like Dudley to accompany me around before dinner."
"No problem. Let Dudley accompany you to his room to see his new game console." Seemingly considering that Elwyn was too young to understand his jokes, Vernon Dersley readily agreed. "Go and play, children. When it's time to eat, I'll ask Penny to call you up."
Dudley reluctantly accompanied Elwyn out of the living room. According to the plan, he was supposed to stay behind and continue to flatter Mason and his wife with those mushy words, not accompany a child to wander around the house.
Especially when he had to restrain himself to leave a good impression on the other party. To Dudley, this was an incomparably difficult task.
The two of them walked up to the second floor. While listening to Dali introduce his newly bought game console, Elwyn curiously looked at a small room at the end of the corridor. The door of the room was tightly shut.
"What is that place?"
"It's nothing. That's my cousin's room. He's not home right now."
Dudley's expression was a little unnatural. "Let's hurry to my room, I'll show you."
Before he could finish his words, a loud knocking sound came from the small room and interrupted him. In the next second, before he could stop Dudley, he saw the boy beside him walk up to the door and open it.
When Elwyn opened the door, under the dim light, he saw a boy about his age standing in front of the wardrobe.
The boy was thin and had a pair of bright green eyes. His black hair was unkempt and there was a thin lightning scar on his forehead.
Harry Potter was surprised. He had just hidden Dobby when the door was opened. Unexpectedly, it wasn't Uncle Vernon who came in, but a boy he had never seen before.
"Good evening, you must be Dudley's cousin. I'm Elwyn Mason. Nice to meet you!"
Elwyn stretched out his right hand, his heart filled with joy. I've finally met you, Harry Potter.
"H-hello, I'm Harry Potter. Nice to meet you too." Harry hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to shake Elwyn's.
If he wasn't mistaken, the boy should be the rich builder's son who came to visit today. Harry wasn't sure if he should come into contact with the boy. According to Uncle Vernon's instructions, he should stay in the room, keep quiet, and pretend that he wasn't there.
Harry had heard about the importance of tonight's banquet from Uncle Vernon for two whole weeks. If he messed it up, he couldn't imagine how difficult his life would be in the future.
Outside the door, Dudley urged the boy named Elwyn to leave quickly. Although it was a bad feeling, Harry had to admit that this was the only thing he agreed with Dudley this summer, especially when there was a house-elf in the closet next to him that shouldn't be seen by Muggle.
Elwyn didn't seem to hear Dudley's urging. His attention was completely focused on the birdcage next to the window. There was a snow-white owl inside.
"A pure white owl. That's really cool!" Elwyn turned to Harry and asked, "What's its name?"
"Hedwig, she's my pet." Harry quietly closed the cupboard door that was being opened.
"I also want a pet like this, but my mother is allergic to birds." Elwyn turned to look at Hedwig. "Can I feed it?"
"No problem, but I don't have any food." Harry sighed. Uncle Vernon didn't allow him to let Hedwig out to look for food. In fact, this summer, Harry had been saving a portion of his dinner to feed Hedwig.
"What does it eat? I saw a lot of it in the kitchen downstairs."
"Elwyn, Mom is calling us to go down for dinner!" Before Elwyn could finish, Dudley abruptly interrupted him. He seemed to have finally summoned his courage and walked into Harry's room to save Elwyn.
"Alright, I think I can come back after dinner."
Elwyn followed Dudley for two steps. Seeing that Harry had no intention of moving, he asked curiously, "Harry, aren't you coming with us?"
"I-I'm not going. I've already had dinner!"
Harry's stomach felt empty, but he was sure that Aunt Petunia wouldn't be happy to see him at the dining table.
"Let's go. Even if you've finished eating, we can still have some dessert." Elwyn walked forward and pulled Harry's arm. "Then we can bring something up. Hey, Hedwig, I think she's starving!"
"You can't do that. He can't go down to eat with us." Dudley hurriedly stopped Elwyn.
"Why? Isn't he your cousin?"
"Yes, but …" Dudley struggled to find the right words to explain to Elwyn. "He's different from us. He's a freak."
"Freak?!" Elwyn frowned. He saw that Harry was also very excited and forgot to close the wardrobe door.
In the next second, a small green monster jumped out of the wardrobe. It had two bat-like ears and a pair of protruding green eyes the size of tennis balls.
Elwyn immediately guessed who Dobby was, but he didn't expect it to be so ugly.
"How dare you insult the great Harry Potter in front of Dobby!" Dobby jumped out of the wardrobe and immediately screamed.
Before anyone could react, it extended its right index finger and pointed fiercely at Dudley, who was standing at the side.
Suddenly, a pale green flash, a firecracker-like sound, and a shriek could be heard. Then, Dudley covered his fat butt with both hands and cried out in pain. When he turned around, Elwyn saw a curled pig tail sticking out of a hole in his pants.
