Chapter 7 7. Mrs. Figg next door

"Mom, I think we can take care of ourselves." Dudley frowned and looked at his parents.

Vernon's work has improved greatly recently. The Groning Company arranged for him to go on a business trip to Germany to negotiate a large order. As long as he can successfully sign the contract this time, he will be promoted to sales supervisor. However, the time will be a bit long and it is expected to take

It's been three months since I left.

It stands to reason that Vernon is the only one who is on a business trip, and Petunia can just take care of Dudley and the others at home. However, Vernon is a Petunia. As long as he doesn't see Petunia when he comes home every day, he is guaranteed to be groggy and lackluster the next day.

, work efficiency will also plummet.

So Penny had to go with him. Fortunately, the cost could be reimbursed by the company.

"My dear, you are still a child." Penny said with a serious face.

As soon as he heard this, Dudley rolled his eyes in his heart.

Have you ever seen a 10-year-old kid win the middle school boxing championship?

This is the championship that Dudley won recently. Well, it is different from the junior high school level last year. This is the high school level.

'Harry and I are already ten years old. In other worlds at this age, we would be able to receive our own initial elves and travel around the world.'

Dudley thought in his mind.

"I can cook and wash myself. I mean we can take care of ourselves."

Dudley argued hard.

"Dudley, we are not going for a day or two, but for a whole three months. I will not let my child stay at home alone." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Petunia selectively ignored Harry again.

"I won't let you be alone with this freak either."

Vernon also emphasized that the word 'freak' naturally referred to Harry. Of course, he said this in front of Petunia: "Who knows if this freak will turn you into like him."

'I wish I could become a wizard even in my wildest dreams.'

"Then I won't go to Aunt Maggie's, never!"

Dudley said firmly and forcefully, emphasizing the first word he learned when he was born, 'never'.

Maggie Dursley is Vernon's sister and Dudley's aunt. The Dursley family's life improved with her help. Dudley was very grateful to this aunt, but she asked him to live with Aunt Maggie for three years.

That is absolutely impossible.

It's not that Aunt Maggie doesn't like Dudley, on the contrary, she likes Dudley very much. Every time they meet, she will give Dudley's round face a good slap.

It's just that their living habits are very different.

Maggie has twelve bulldogs. This is not the key. The key is that she loves and values ​​these bulldogs more than people.

In other words, if you want to live with her, you first have to endure eating and sleeping with these twelve bulldogs, and secondly, you have to endure that there may be dog saliva in your eating bowl at any time.

Dudley really likes dogs, but he doesn't like eating dog saliva.

Seeing Dudley's very determined attitude, Vernon and Petunia looked at each other.

They also knew that letting Dudley and Maggie live would cause problems.

'How about taking Dudley with you to Germany?'

'But it's the fees and Dudley's studies.'

The two communicated with their eyes.

Seeing that his parents' attitude had softened, Dudley quickly suggested: "I can wait for you with Harry at Mrs. Figg's next door."

It's impossible for him to go to Germany. There's no point in not being able to speak the language. It's better to just stay with Harry and pluck wool.

Mrs. Figg, whose full name is Arabella Figg, is a little old lady who likes to wear knitted covers, is kind-hearted and looks energetic. She lives two streets away from the Dursleys' house. It's said to be two streets away.

In fact, it's not much different from the one next door.

When the Dursleys went out or were on vacation, they would entrust her with taking care of Harry.

Perhaps because they often take care of Harry for free, the Dursleys have a good relationship with Mrs. Figg.

"Dudley, we are going to go for three whole months, during which we cannot come back." Petunia tried to persuade Dudley, but Dudley's attitude was very firm.

If he didn't want to go to Mrs. Figg's house and he wasn't allowed to stay at home by himself, he could only go to Aunt Maggie's house.

How could Dudley eat?

Dudley the Food Protector never compromises.

After arguing for a while, Dudley still refused to let go. Vernon and Petunia had no choice but to entrust Mrs. Figg to take care of them.

Harry, who was a little sad because he thought he would not be able to live in his own cabin for three months, suddenly felt much better when he heard that he could live with his cousin Dudley.

Seemingly noticing Harry's joyful mood, Vernon leaned down with difficulty, pointed at Harry and said, "I'm warning you, kid. Even if we're not here, don't even think about hurting Dudley.

Don't try to hurt my family. Just let me know, you know the consequences."

As he spoke, he raised his arm that was thicker than Harry's waist in a demonstrative manner.

Harry didn't know why, but he nodded obediently.

Maybe Harry couldn't remember that when he was still very young, some magical phenomena happened either because of his magic power or other stimulation. Dudley's physique at that time was not as strong as it is now, so he suffered

A little injured.

Vernon may not be a good uncle, but he is definitely a good husband and father.

The decoration of Mrs. Figg's house is very old-fashioned. The overall size of the house is not much different from the Dursley's, but the style is completely different. The environment is slightly darker, and the furniture is very simple. In addition to the burning flames in the living room

Outside the fireplace, there was only a simple sofa, a table and a few chairs.

There are no electronic products, not even the radios that the elderly like to use.

Old antique.

This is what Dursley said about Mrs. Figg.

There was a pungent cat smell in the air from time to time. It was pungent to some extent, but at least Dudley didn't find it pungent.

Vernon didn't like the smell, so he didn't come in. Everything was communicated between Petunia and Mrs. Figg.

Mrs. Figg readily agreed to help take care of Dudley and Harry.

Before leaving, Petunia gave Mrs. Figg some money.

If Harry could still shamelessly entrust Mrs. Figg to take care of him for free, he would eat less anyway. But it would not work if Dudley was added to the package. Dudley would probably eat more in a day than Mrs. Figg would eat in a week.

Three months. No matter how thick-skinned Dursley is, he can't do such a thing.

Besides, the reputation of the Dursleys is quite good in these streets, eh, only among ordinary people.

After Petunia and Vernon left, Dudley started to look around Mrs. Figg's house with ease, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hugged a passing kitten with extremely agility.

In the desperate eyes of the kitten, Dudley buried his big fleshy face on Yin Qian's belly and took several deep breaths.

Then he let out a moan full of pleasure with a satisfied look on his face.

"Ah~~Xue'er sucks so well."

Judging from his actions, it was obvious that this was not the first time Dudley had done something like this.
