harry potter book of crimes

"Why don't you apologize to Brother D quickly!"

"Look! She's shaking!"

"Hahaha! I'm sure she was so scared that she peed her pants!"

"At such an old age, he is still squatting on the ground like a beaten little kid. It makes me laugh...hahahaha..."

"Come on, Gordon! That's not the case with that little bastard Mark Evans!"

At the entrance to Magnolia Crescent Street, Dudley and his group of friends were gathered around the roadside, pointing at the huddled figure in the middle, and letting out bursts of wild sneers.

But the person they were bullying made Harry feel a little complicated.

It was that woman again, but the feelings she brought to Harry were completely different during these two encounters.

Speaking of the previous time, Harry had always been wary of her, and his doubts were not the slightest bit! He even thought that this woman was most likely a Death Eater trying to do harm to him.

But now that they met again, it was hard for him to imagine that a cunning and cruel Death Eater would be bullied by a group of Muggles like this.

If the other party hid his identity from him, it might be because he was wary of Hogwarts and wanted to test it out before making a move; but why would he do this in the face of a group of Muggles?

This only proves that the woman may really just be looking for him to ask for directions. Moreover, she doesn't seem to be a bad person, she just has a timid nature...

Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but feel annoyed again - Dudley and his bad friends were bullying the weak again!

"Hey, Brother D!"

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Dudley turned around.

"Oh," he muttered, "it's you..."

"When did you become 'Brother D'?" Harry, who was already feeling frustrated, suddenly said sarcastically.

"Shut up!" Dudley yelled viciously.

"That's a pretty cool name," Harry grinned, passing by Dudley and standing next to the woman, "but in my opinion, you will always be 'Dada's baby'..."

…Why, are you bullying others again?”

"Shut up!" Dudley said, his hands as thick as Jinhua hams clenched into fists.

"Yeah! Shut up, you skinny monkey!" "Do you also want to try Brother D's right hook?"

Several of his friends also joined in, and they all helped out. But Harry suddenly turned his head and glared hard at the two guys who were shouting the loudest.

"Huh?" He snorted coldly, "I just came back from St. Bruce (Security Center School for Juvenile Delinquents), and now there are a few more people who dare to provoke me?"

At this moment, the guy who was shouting just now became mute and his whole body seemed to become tense.

Harry couldn't help but blink a few more times, because he was just trying to imitate Maka, but the effect was amazing.

The bad rumors spread to him by the Dursleys were one of the reasons that originally made Harry depressed. But he didn't expect that sometimes seemingly useless things would actually work at unexpected times.

"My cousin, you haven't answered my question yet..." Harry paused, then turned to Dudley and asked, "Why did you bully her? Don't tell me, you used your so-called '

Boxing' is bullying a woman!"

"I didn't!" Dudley gritted his teeth and looked at Harry. "She didn't look at the road and bumped into me! Then she squatted there and shivered! Does this have anything to do with me?"

He was trying desperately not to hit Harry - it seemed to require all his self-control.

"Really?" Harry curled his lips in disbelief, "I bumped into you, and then I squatted here by myself to be afraid of being like this? Are you kidding me?"

"I just scolded her. Who could have guessed that this woman would be so timid?" Dudley said angrily. If you look carefully, you can even find the muscles on his cheeks twitching. "What else do you want?

Like! Let me tell you, Potter boy! I'm not afraid of you!"

"You're not afraid of me? Then what are you afraid of?" Harry smiled evilly, put his hand into his pocket, and said slowly, "Quickly tell me... If you are right, I will reward you.

…”

"No, you can't! You can't use it!" Dudley immediately stared at Harry's hand and said quickly, "I know you can't - you will be expelled from that freak school!"

"Brother D, what are you talking about?" A friend next to Dudley asked in a low voice.

Seeing that Dudley was so timid, Dudley's friends felt even weaker, and they didn't even dare to speak too loudly.

After all, they were still just teenagers, and they usually took advantage of Dudley's height and strength to be so unscrupulous. Seeing that the leader was cowed, how could they not feel guilty?

"Can't you? How do you know that the school has not changed its regulations, Brother D?" Harry suddenly laughed and made a gesture to pull out his right hand.

"No--"

Dudley took several steps back almost out of reflex.

The last time the Weasley family came to pick Harry up from Privet Drive to watch the Quidditch World Cup, the two brothers Fred and George had treated him badly. His tongue had been swollen to over four feet.

long.

I have to say, that left a deep imprint on Dudley's heart - those freaks who call themselves wizards are simply devils!

"If you didn't hold that thing, you wouldn't have the guts to compete with me, would you?" Dudley's confidence was obviously much weaker, at least now he didn't even dare to take a step closer to Harry.

"What about you? You need four guys to support you before you dare to bully a woman?" Harry sneered.

"I said I didn't do anything to her!" Dudley said fiercely, "If you dare to take out that thing, just wait! I'm going to tell dad you -"

"Run home to find dad, right?" Harry interrupted him immediately and said contemptuously, "When his little boxing champion is in trouble, he will just crawl into dad's arms?"

Harry boldly took another step forward, and when he saw Dudley subconsciously retreating, he couldn't help but feel happy.

It seems that even the recent depression has been mostly vented with today's behavior.

"shut up!"

Dudley was in a stalemate for a while, and seeing that Harry seemed to be approaching again, he hurriedly yelled inwardly, and then walked quickly towards home without looking back.

But at this moment, the street suddenly became dark, as if a thick black velvet tablecloth fell from the sky and covered the entire street.

Immediately afterwards, a biting cold air submerged everything unconsciously. Dudley, Harry, the woman squatting on the ground, and Dudley's group of friends all felt as if they had been soaked in water mixed with ice cubes.

Same as in the lake.

"what have you done!"

Dudley was the first to shout out. He felt that all the muscles in his body were stiff and his joints were even creaking. The sounds of car horns, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of insects in the summer night were all noisy in his ears.

, all sounds stopped abruptly.

"You...what are you doing? Stop it, stop it!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, his tone almost distorted.

"I didn't do anything! Shut up!"

Harry stood there, holding the handle of his wand tightly with his hand in his pocket. He kept sucking the cold air into his lungs and exhaling it slowly, forcing himself to calm down.

This feeling is very familiar to him! Yes, that's right... it should be... a dementor!

"ah--"

There was a belated scream from one of Dudley's friends.

"I-I can't see! I-I'm blind! I-"

That's another friend of his.

"Shut up, all of you!" Harry roared.

"...No, no! Don't, don't do this...I beg you...I know I was wrong..."

Harry was upset by them. He was about to yell again, but found that the sound came from behind him... was it that woman?

He was about to turn around and take a look, but what surprised him was that with a flash of warm breath, the frightening cold air dissipated very suddenly.

"I will definitely tell daddy! I will definitely!" Dudley yelled, then threw off his thick legs and ran away quickly.

When his group of boys saw Dudley turning around and running away, they immediately dispersed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Harry had no time to pay attention to them. He just looked around in confusion, turning his head from side to side to the left, and then from the left to the back. He turned around in a full circle without finding any clues that could answer his doubts.

"...Please don't, don't come again...I know I was wrong...I know I was wrong..."

The street lights came on again, the stars in the night sky twinkled again, and the distant sounds flooded into Harry's ears again, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

But the woman still covered her head and begged tremblingly, as if what had just happened really scared her.

"Uh...I think it's okay..."

Harry looked at her, feeling a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't laugh for some reason.

To be honest, the dramatic change just now gave him goosebumps, and he still hasn't gotten over it until now! He doesn't understand what happened just now?

Although Harry was a little frightened by the cold air that represented the approach of the Dementors, it actually did not make him feel very scared.

Thanks to Tomaka, now neither Harry, Hermione nor Ron are afraid of Dementors.

But the cold air disappeared inexplicably in the end, which made Harry a little suspicious - why did they leave again? Was the warmth the Patronus Charm? Who drove away the Dementors?

He suddenly discovered that although Hermione, Ron and Sirius were unwilling to explain the reason, clues seemed to have been hidden around him...

"Hey! You're okay!" Seeing that the woman was still mumbling, Harry couldn't help shouting to her with a louder voice.

"Ah——" "Huh?"

He didn't expect that after he shouted this, the woman's body suddenly tilted to the side and she actually fainted!
