A day at Hogwarts
Chapter 60 Tell her what she can say
The old but clean suit, the suitcase that was worn out and was about to be scrapped, the face of a sick person, the graying light brown hair, and the green eyes showing a hint of tension, Charles could confirm that the person standing in front of the door was Remus Lupin.
"Dumbledore invited you?" Charles asked.
Lupine replied at once: "Yes, he sent me to Mr. Charles Smith."
Charles said: "I am Charles, please come in, Professor Dumbledore is busy now."
"I'll help you put your suitcase in the living room."
The prohibition of underage wizards using magic at home is actually aimed at young Muggle-born wizards, and it only started after going to Hogwarts.
Those two guys, Fred and George, have broken it countless times, and Hermione tried a few simple spells before school, and nothing happened.
Last night, the Ministry of Magic discovered that someone was using magic at No. 3 Privet Drive. Officials from the Ministry of Magic came over immediately. They saw Dumbledore washing the dishes with the Elder Wand after dinner, and then they ignored it.
So now Charles helped Lupine fly the suitcase into the living room, nothing happened.
Then Charles took Lupine to the study on the second floor to watch a play. At this time, Petunia was confronting Dumbledore like an angry lion, holding the computer socket in her hand.
Because the Ministry of Magic has placed magic at home to detect whether anyone uses magic, Jack also tries to use it as little as possible, so he decided to hire someone to do housework after the half-prepared dinner in the kitchen stinks because of his addiction to games last time.
With Jack's way of not treating the pound as money, Petunia beat most of the housewives in Little Whinging to get the job.
Dumbledore was a little shy of Petunia when he first came to play, but he was relieved to find that she stopped talking about Lily.
However, Petunia has been observing him. When she came to clean up this morning, taking advantage of the opportunity that Dumbledore played all night without saving the game, she first unplugged the mouse and keyboard suddenly, and then threatened him to reveal the details of Lily's death by pulling the plug.
But with Dumbledore's personality, playing for fun, business for business, will not be confused.
"I'm sorry, Petunia." Dumbledore's voice was low, "I really can't say."
After speaking, he pressed the shutdown button himself.
Charles discovered that it turned out that Petunia could also make the same expression and demeanor as Snape, but she was facing Dumbledore.
Regarding Dumbledore's difficulties, Charles is somewhat understandable. This involves Snape, whose identity is a bit sensitive.
Charles had no doubts that if Petunia knew that Snape had overheard the prophecy and Lily was killed, she would dare to carry the gas tank to Spider's End.
At this time, Jack came out to smooth things over: "Everyone calm down, Petunia, how about going downstairs for a cup of tea?"
"Charles, don't go down and make tea."
So Charles became a tea servant again, went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea, and took it to the living room considering that Petunia was around.
Only Lupine and Petunia were in the living room. Lupine mentioned Lily after learning the identity of the other party, and now Petunia asked Lily about Lily's time at Hogwarts.
Two old men with hair as white as the snow on the side of the road went out for a walk, and Jack was saying to Dumbledore: "Albus, we are all people with gray hair. In Eastern terms, we have eaten more salt than bread young men have eaten."
"You should know how painful it is to lose a loved one, and this pain will accompany a person's life."
Dumbledore listened quietly, showing no sign of impatience or rebuttal.
Although Dumbledore and McGonagall have a lot to say, some things involving the magical world, such as the past between him and Grindelwald, can only be told to someone who knows nothing about the magical world, otherwise if it is leaked Going out would cause an uproar.
In Dumbledore's eyes, Jack, who looks upright, not so rigid, occasionally has a little humor, is willing to play with himself, is experienced, and most importantly, knows nothing about the wizarding world, is a friend who can confide in his thoughts .
And Jack is not familiar with Grindelwald. He is not very interested in the kind of ambitious people who try to rule the world. When he was in the United States, he secretly watched for a while, and then went to the Amazon rainforest to learn more about them. It's "memory" from Charles.
So he was very serious when he listened to Dumbledore's thoughts, and he couldn't deal with it hypocritically, so that Lao Deng felt that this person could get along with him and regarded him as a friend.
So there was a scene that surprised people who knew Dumbledore well. The most powerful wizard in the world recognized by wizards was quietly listening to a "Muggle" preaching.
Dumbledore thought of his sister, sighed slightly, and said, "You're right, I can understand Petunia's feelings."
Jack said to him: "I guess there are things behind the death of Petunia's sister that still need to be kept secret. I can understand this. We all have our own secrets, and I also have secrets that I can't tell the outside world, let alone you. Fight terrorist groups like the Northern Irish Republican Army."
"I think secrets are graded. The key part is that even if you are beaten to death, you can't tell them, but some things can be told to the families of the victims after they are blurred."
"Of course, this is just my suggestion, and it's up to you to decide what to do."
Dumbledore didn't deny it after listening, but just thought deeply.
When they got back to number three, Privet Drive, Charles was drinking tea to calm his nerves.
Lupine talked about many things about Lily, including the fact that the Potters later made Sirius Black the godfather of Harry Potter, leading to their foursome.
And because Petunia mentioned the Snape he knew, Lupine said something about Snape and Lily.
Lupine played down the conflict between Lily and Snape, only saying that it was a quarrel, just like many adolescent men and women, quarreling over trivial matters.
Charles was relieved to hear this, and drank a cup of tea to suppress his shock.
He was worried that if Lupine explained clearly how Snape had hurt Lily with the bad name, with Petunia's current state, he could drive a full tanker truck to the door.
At this time, Jack and Dumbledore came back, and everyone sat down in the living room. Charles served tea and refills.
Dumbledore drank half a cup of tea, and after putting down the cup, he began to introduce the stranger in the living room who hadn't figured out the situation to Petunia: "Petunia, this is Remus Lupine, he and Lily belong to the same academy classmate."
Petunia said coldly to Old Deng: "I just met Mr. Lu Ping."
Dumbledore continued: "Although the world of wizards seems to be peaceful and peaceful, the murderer who killed Lily is like a dark cloud floating in the sky and has never dissipated."
