Chapter 26 26. The little brother has grown up

"I! Harry Potter! I will never go to Hogwarts!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence. Not only were the Dursleys stunned, but Dumbledore and the tabby kitten were also stunned on the spot.

This sentence is really shocking. The savior who saved the magical world does not want to go to the magical world. What should I do?

If only the Dursleys disagreed, it would be easy to just ignore their opinions, but Harry's own wishes had to be ignored.

Only Dudley was stunned at first, but felt happy in his heart.

This little transparent person who has always been by his side, resigned to everything and never expressed his opinions, expressed his wishes for the first time.

He looked at Harry with a face full of relief, his little brother had finally grown up.

Huh? Something seems wrong?

Dumbledore, who originally had a headache after listening to Hagrid's report yesterday, felt a sudden pain in his temple at this moment. He did not answer Harry's words, but immediately expressed his apology: "I am the previous keykeeper of Hogwarts."

We apologize to your family for being rude, and please believe that we have absolutely no ill intentions."

His words seemed to have some kind of magic, making Harry, who was originally excited, slowly calm down.

"Can you please invite us inside to talk first?"

Dumbledore said this specifically to Dudley.

He knew one thing through Hagrid's narration. On the surface, the Dursleys were the head of this family, but in fact they were their children.

"Of course, Mr. Principal"

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling man. If Hagrid hadn't had a bad attitude towards Vernon, he wouldn't have picked on him. The most important thing is that he really couldn't beat the old man with the white beard.

Then Dudley paused and said doubtfully: "We?"

The tabby cat standing next to Dumbledore quickly grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a serious-faced lady.

Dumbledore immediately introduced: "This is Professor McGonagall, the dean of Gryffindor College and the professor of Transfiguration."

"Hello, Professor McGonagall."

Dudley greeted politely and praised at the right time: "It's amazing. Is this magic?"

"Hello, little Mr. Dursley." Professor McGonagall's respectful attitude was very helpful, and she simply answered him: "Yes, this is a type of transfiguration."

This seemingly surprised but calm attitude made Dumbledore couldn't help but take a second look at him.

The sense of proportion is very good.

Several people came to the Dursley family's living room.

Petunia looked a little restrained sitting on the sofa. After all, she had sent letters to Dumbledore many times and wanted to attend Hogwarts, but was rejected. Vernon, on the other hand, didn't have a good expression. He kept his head down and muttered.

He didn't know what he was talking about. He didn't know Dumbledore, but in his impression he was a crazy, silly old man. However, the serious-faced Professor McGonagall made him a little frightened.

The atmosphere is a bit dull.

It was Dumbledore who took the initiative to break the awkwardness: "Please tell me, Harry, why don't you want to go to Hogwarts?"

This issue is critical.

If it were an ordinary little wizard, he wouldn't go if he didn't.

If he, Harry Potter, the savior of the wizarding world, did not go to Hogwarts, the impact would be huge.

Seeing Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looking at him at the same time made Harry even more stressed.

After all, he is only an eleven-year-old child, and it is rare to be able to express his own opinions bravely.

"Because then I can't go to school with Dudley!"

After hearing this answer, Dumbledore's eyes briefly stayed on Dudley for a while, and then he looked at each other and Professor McGonagall, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

'Fortunately, Hagrid didn't do anything too extreme.' - McGonagall

'I didn't expect that the Dursley children and Harry would already have such a deep relationship.' - Dumbledore

"We agreed to go to Smelting Middle School together." Harry insisted stubbornly.

Going to school with Dudley is currently Harry's biggest wish. If he was the only one who could go, then he wouldn't go to that place even if it was heaven.

"Harry, if that's the case, you don't have to worry."

Professor McGonagall changed her serious expression, looked at Harry and said softly: "Because your brother, Dudley Dursley, is also one of our new students this time."

Dumbledore also looked at Dudley at this time: "Mr. Dursley, you must have received that letter, right?"

"What? Dudley? Oh my God!"

Before Dudley could speak, Petunia suddenly stood up from the sofa and screamed a little uncontrollably.

Going to Hogwarts to study was her biggest wish in the first half of her life.

'I gave birth to a wizard?'

Parents sometimes put what they don't get on their children. This is a very common psychological reaction. If Dudley can go to Hogwarts, in a sense, it will fulfill the dream that Petunia failed to fulfill.

After realizing that she had lost her composure, Penny sat back down in embarrassment. At this moment, her mood was very complicated.

If only Harry went to Hogwarts, then she would definitely be opposed to it, but if Dudley could also go, Petunia was a little undecided for a while.

People sometimes have such double standards.

This is understandable. Petunia's previous attitude towards Lily was both sisterly concern and jealousy of Lily going to Hogwarts alone.

As a result, when Harry was staying in Dursley, Petunia would be very targeted. She would deliberately give good things to Dudley and bad things to Harry. The strong contrast would make her feel better.

Fortunately, Dudley was there to mediate, otherwise Harry would just feel like he was being abused.

But this does not mean that she does not love Harry. The basis of the ancient protection spell Lily released is 'love'. Apart from the blood of her relatives, if there is no 'love', this spell will not continue to be effective.

In fact, it can be summed up with what Brother Xun said: "I am afraid of my brother's hardship, and I am also afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover."

This is human nature.

"Is this the letter you're talking about?" Dudley took out a burnt letter with only a corner left from his pocket and put it on the table: "Unfortunately, it was already like this when I saw it.

"

Dudley was very unsure whether he could go to Hogwarts. Shinji Matou's magician physique and 0.8 magic value looked really painful.

"Oh, my Merlin was burned like this."

Professor McGonagall took out her wand and tapped it lightly on the almost burned letter.

With a 'swish' sound, it returned to its original state.

With a touch of the magic wand, you can do things that ordinary people can't do, and you can even make a broken mirror reunite.

'It's really mouth-watering.'

Dudley looked at the restored letter, and this time he could clearly see the handwriting on it.

"Dear Mr. Dursley: We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

The letter is true

Even though he looked calm, Dudley still couldn't help but feel excited inside.

"Little Mr. Dursley." Dumbledore looked at Dudley and spoke again. His blue eyes were sharp and bright, deep and very penetrating: "I heard Mrs. Figg said that you yearn for the wizarding world.

, also yearn for magic, so do you have any intention of attending Hogwarts?"

"On behalf of Hogwarts, I formally extend an invitation to you."
