Penny's mood quickly stabilized.

"I promised you when I adopted you." Petunia leaned against Vernon. She took a deep breath and continued, "I know but the letter on your body was written by Dumbledore. He Said Lily died at the hands of a rebel leader."

When Penny said this, she paused and moved to pick up the water glass on the coffee table with trembling hands.Vernon quickly picked up the water glass and placed it firmly in her hand.

The water in the water glass kept sloshing. Penny held the glass with both hands, raised it to her lips, and drank in big gulps.

"I don't understand what's going on with you so-called wizards," Petunia swallowed the water hard. "Don't you all think you are very powerful? How come you can't even deal with a rebel group? Dumbledore also explained in the letter that it was because Lily was also involved in the struggle.”

Her eyes were red and sparkling.

"I just realized that the so-called wizards have reached this level of waste. Let women participate in the struggle." Petunia raised one corner of her mouth with an expression full of contempt.

She put the water glass back on the coffee table and stared blankly: "But what does this have to do with us? It's just that Dumbledore wrote in the letter, because you are Lily's child, my sister's child, and we are related by blood."

As she spoke, her eyes began to brighten: "So before you become an adult, as long as you are by my side, your life will be guaranteed."

Lin Zhen was silent for a while. What Penny said was indeed correct. This was also one of the problems in the magic world.

but

"How do you know Dumbledore?" Lin Zhen was a little surprised, "and you firmly believe in his words."

Penny sneered: "How do you know that? You don't need to know."

"Then we can put this issue aside for now," Lin Zhen shrugged indifferently, "I don't understand. I always thought you hated me, why do you still protect me?"

"Hate" Penny's eyes became even redder.Lin Zhen even felt that the tears in her eyes were about to fall.

Petunia's voice became sharp: "I do hate you, very, very much. I hate Lily. Ever since she went to Hogwarts, every time she comes back from vacation, she is as happy and proud as a carefree girl. Butterfly, her parents are always around her, calling Lily baby every day. It's really disgusting, but so what. This damn Lily has never come back even once since she married that arrogant Potter. My parents wanted to see her before they died, but there was never a reply to the letters they sent her.”

A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and seeped into her clothes.

Lin Zhen lowered his head, not knowing what to say at this time.Penny did care about her sister, and even though her sister stole her parents' attention, she still cared about her.Lin Zhen also heard the resentment in Petunia's words. She blamed Lily for being indifferent to her parents, and she also blamed Lily for not hearing from her after her marriage.

"When I knew that Lily and her husband died suddenly, leaving only you, I was so happy." Petunia looked a little crazy. Vernon was worried and caressed her back, "This damn Lily finally... She left, and people no longer always think about her, but she still hasn't changed, and she left a mess for me. She was like this when I was a child, and it's still like this when I die. She's not very capable. She can't charm the people around her. Why can’t I live and raise you by myself?”

Petunia's tears were like broken beads, and drops of crystal tears kept rolling down both sides of her cheeks: "I should have known that the babies born to monsters would also be monsters. When I adopted you, I should have known Hide you so they don't find you. But I have no choice, I can't do it. When the damn owl flew, I understood that you were going to follow Lily's old path."

After saying that, she turned and buried herself in Vernon's arms, whimpering.

Lin Zhen's mood was a little complicated. He generally understood Penny's feelings, but he had something he had to do.

Although he has killed Voldemort, there are many potential threats to the wizarding world.Those fanatical Death Eaters, before they realize that their master Voldemort is dead, they will definitely do everything possible to kill him.

Even if these Death Eaters knew about Voldemort's death, their behavior would definitely become even crazier, and they might risk their lives to avenge their master.

Moreover, he didn't like some of Dumbledore's arrangements for him. Perhaps in Dumbledore's view, these arrangements could train Harry Potter so that Harry Potter could follow his arrangements.But he is not the real Harry Potter, he is still Lin Zhen, a soul who likes freedom.

"I'm sorry," Lin Zhen lowered her head, "I don't know, but I promise it won't affect you, and I will live well."

Petunia suddenly raised her head from Vernon's arms and looked at him angrily: "No, how can you guarantee that you won't even be able to resist my abuse?"

Lin Zhen looked at her deeply and stood up: "I will let you agree."

He turned and went upstairs, leaving Petunia and Vernon looking at each other.

Lin Zhen was lying on the bed, listening to the noise Dudley made when he came back from going out, and listening to Penny shouting "Dada baby" in the same tone as usual. Everything looked the same as usual, just like the time not long ago. It's like the conversation never happened.

Human emotions are really complex.Having been an angel for a long time, I no longer understand human emotions.

He stared at the chandelier on the ceiling.Maybe Dumbledore was already suspicious. Originally, he thought he played the innocent 11-year-old savior very naturally, but now that he thinks about it, he may have been acting a little too hard.

The noise downstairs had subsided. Aunt Petunia must have coaxed Dudley away.

"Pulling Leng" Xiren flew in from the window, stood on the table, and began to preen his feathers.

Lin Zhen suddenly sat up from the bed, frightening Xiren to death.

He opened the suitcase, took out a piece of letter paper and spread it on the table.He took out his quill, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

The night outside the window became darker and darker, and the bright moonlight climbed up the window sill and quietly climbed to the floor of the room.Xi Ren stood on the table, looking at Lin Zhen writing seriously with a pair of big eyes.

Every time he wrote a few sentences, he would hold his chin and think for a while.After finally finishing writing intermittently, he rolled up the letter paper, tied it carefully, and handed it to the attacker.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xi Ren." Lin Zhen touched Xi Ren's snow-white feathers, "Send this letter to Severus."

Early the next morning, Lin Zhen went out for a walk around the community, and returned to the house to make breakfast for the Dursleys before they woke up.

Xiren brought him the Daily Prophet after breakfast.Lin Zhen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking water and reading.

Vernon was the first to go downstairs.He sleepily turned on the TV and tuned to the news channel. Without even looking at Lin Zhen, he walked into the restaurant and started eating.

"It is reported that two more cocoon patients were discovered in Wellington at 22:27 last night. As of today, a total of [-] patients with cocoon disease have been found across the country. Experts are working hard to study the cause and treatment of the disease. This article Taiwan appeals to people across the country. The disease has a sudden onset, and if there are patients with this disease around them, they should be sent to the hospital for medical treatment in time."

The sound of a newscaster announcing the news came from the TV.Lin Zhen was reading the Daily Prophet when he suddenly heard the word "cocoon".

Isn't this the strange condition Hermione mentioned on the train?

Lin Zhen put down the newspaper in her hand and turned to look at the TV.

"The hospital that received the cocoon-shaped patient said they tried to cut open the cocoon wrapping the patient and conduct a further comprehensive examination of the patient's body. The patient is still in a coma, but his life is not in danger. Experts from the Institute of Diseases said , they are testing the cocoon specimens sent from the hospital, and our station will continue to follow up on the test results."

Lin Zhen put away the newspaper, got up and went upstairs.He put on the old clothes that Dudley had thrown at him, put on his wand, stuffed the delicate bank card into his big pocket, grabbed a few scattered banknotes and coins and went out.

"I'm going out." Lin Zhen shouted towards the restaurant, opened the door and walked out.

I have to say that Muggle transportation is quite convenient.Lin Zhen came to London by bus and subway.

The wide roads, bustling streets, and shopping malls with people coming and going are a lively scene.

The last time he and Hagrid came to London together, he hadn't been able to take a good look at this bustling city.

Lin Zhen stood in front of the most prosperous shopping mall in London and unconsciously compared the shopping mall in front of her with Diagon Alley: the shops along the diagonal all had old but slightly worn signboards, while the shop signs here looked brand new and neat; The shop windows in Diagon Alley are covered with dust, and the shop windows here have been polished to make them visible; the shop assistants in Diagon Alley are casually dressed and have a casual attitude. The shop assistants here have uniform clothes and face the customers coming and going. all smiling

Magical world

Lin Zhen shook her head arrogantly and walked into a clothing store with her hands behind her back.

"Do you need help?" A smiling clerk came up and asked, bending down.

"I want to buy a few sets of clothes for daily wear. Are there any dresses here?" Lin Zhen thought for a while, "If so, I want to buy a few more dresses."

"Is this what you want to wear?" the clerk asked with a smile.

Lin Zhen nodded. The clerk straightened up and led Lin Zhen to the children's clothing area.

Lin Zhen chose several sets of casual clothes that were convenient for movement, and also picked two sets of children's suits just in case.He tried on one set at random and it fit him well, so he checked out and bought it.Unfortunately, the store didn't have the dress he wanted.

Lin Zhen put on the new clothes she tried on and walked out of the store carrying the bag containing the clothes.

He found a corner where no one was paying attention and used a wandless magic to shrink the bag and put it into his pocket.

It's so convenient to have magic.Lin Zhen thought.

He found that there was a large bookstore near the mall and walked in with interest.

Harry Potter had never been to a bookstore before, and the textbooks he used were cheap second-hand books bought by Petunia.Since Dudley wasn't interested in books, there wasn't even an extracurricular reading material in the room.

Lin Zhen stepped into the bookstore. There were rows of bookshelves reaching to the ceiling. The bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books.
