Joanne was very good at keeping secrets, but she wasn't good at solving people's boredom.
However, a boring life could be filled with shopping. In the past, Jon didn't think that shopping was fun, but now that he could spend money, the experience was different.
After buying a few sets of clothes and a bunch of snacks, the two of them took a taxi back to their rented place and started another idle night.
These days weren't over yet, because Hogwarts still had some time before school started, and Jon was waiting for the main event in two days.
At the end of July, Harry Potter would receive an acceptance letter from Hogwarts, and that would be the time to watch the show.
But there were still a few days left, and waiting like this wasn't a good idea. He was still looking for something to relieve his boredom.
Originally, he planned to watch the war in Eastern Europe to relieve his boredom, but unfortunately, he had a professional analyst by his side. Originally, the war analysis sent to Jon every two days was enough to kill some time, but after Joanne's analysis, the concise version of the war analysis could be read by Jon in half an hour.
"Why don't you go out for a walk?"
Joanne corrected the draft while looking at Jon, who was walking around, and felt that she was being too cruel.
"If you really can't do it, I won't simplify the draft for you next time, okay?"
"Then what do you think I should do for the next two days?"
"To be honest, you can go out for a walk."
Joanne flipped through the draft in her hand and pulled out a photo.
"I've been to this place before when I was following Harry Potter. He seems to go there often to relax."
"Hmm … Okay, I'll go there and take a look."
…
Harry Potter had been wandering outside a lot recently.
After the end of the primary school term, there was nothing much to do. Even Aunt Penny didn't make things difficult for him at this time. Harry was indeed happy about this, but the only disadvantage of being at home was that he couldn't avoid Dudley and his friends. During the holidays, they would come to Dudley's house every day.
Peel and Danny were the same kind of big, generally stupid men, and Dudley was the biggest and stupidest of them all. Harry felt that he would be stupid if he were to be in the same space with them.
Moreover, the smell of those big idiots was extremely bad. It smelled even worse than the water Aunt Penny used to dye his new school uniform. Speaking of the new school uniform, he remembered that he was about to go to Stonewall High School for junior high school. He did not know whether to be happy or worried.
However, this kind of thing was still bearable. As long as he did not see any achievements in the rest of his academic life, he was willing to accept it.
However, his mind was filled with that letter, the letter that was addressed to him.
Up until now, no one had ever written him a letter.
Who could have written that letter to him?
He had no friends.
He had no other relatives.
He never had a library card, so unlike other people, he would never receive a notice from the library urging him to return the books. Besides, he had never been to the library.
But now there was a letter, and the address was clearly written on it. He had been going over it in his head for the past two days, and there was no mistaking it:
Surrey, Surrey, Little Whiggin, 4 Privet Drive, Cupboard under the Stairs, Mr. Harry Potter.
The envelope was made of heavy parchment, and the address was written in emerald ink. There was no stamp on it. There was a wax seal, a coat of arms, and a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake around the letter "H".
What letter could it be?
Harry had no idea what it was, but judging by his aunt and uncle's unusual behaviour, it could not be a simple letter.
And it was definitely not like they said, that he had no idea what the letter was.
He was only a child, but he was not stupid.
Because of the letter, he had even moved to the bedroom upstairs. In the past, this kind of thing would have been more impossible than the end of the world.
Harry sighed and leaned his head back on the abandoned swing.
In the past, if there was a chance to move upstairs, he would have done whatever it took.
But now, he would rather take the letter and move it back into the cupboard than not be able to get it.
That wasn't right. In fact, there seemed to be letters delivered every day, but he didn't receive any of them. This morning, he even stepped on his uncle, who was sleeping at the door and blocking his way. But now that he had slipped out, why didn't any letters come?
Harry sighed and worried, but he had no clue how to solve the problem. Now he just hoped that the letter would be sent earlier before he was discovered. The last time he ran out, he was grounded for a long time and was severely beaten.
So he did not notice that not far away, there was a Wizard, whose life was completely different from his, looking at him under the cover of the Phantom Spell.
In fact, Jon had been standing here for a while. When he came here, he did not expect to meet Harry Potter at all. On the way here, he wanted to understand why he had not seen Harry in the Dursley house recently.
Because he had ignored the time, he had always thought that the Hogwarts admission letter would be sent on July 31, but obviously not. The admission letter was sent at the end of July. That was the privilege of the children of the Wizard family. For a child like Harry who grew up in the Muggle family, it was obviously impossible to receive the admission letter so late.
In the original book, it seemed to be a week or so earlier.
No wonder he could not see Harry during this time. He was usually locked in the cupboard, and after receiving the letter, he was probably more strictly guarded.
Jon did not know if he should pity Harry Potter first, but when he saw him, he forgot about these things.
Harry looked very thin and a little tanned — Jon thought it might be because he did not wash his face. He was wearing a large suit that obviously did not fit well, and the clothes were very old. His figure was even thinner than Jon three years ago. At that time, Jon was less than 1.5 meters tall. Now, Jon was a head taller than Harry.
Harry's face looked very thin — or rather, his whole body was very thin. The exposed parts of his body were as thin as bones. His black hair and pair of green eyes were very similar to Jon's, but they were not the same in essence. Jon was very clear about this.
So, was this the hero of the story that he had always wanted to see?
