【HP】I don’t want to fall in love, I just want to mess around

In a person's life, there is naturally no shortage of some casual trips, but for three [-] or [-]-year-old children to take a casual trip, in the eyes of most people, that is not called traveling, but leaving home. run away.

Fortunately, they didn't run away from home, they just went to find a classmate whose home was far away.

But this already worried Esther.

In 1993, the security situation in Britain was average, and she was really afraid that something unexpected would happen to them.

It's okay if you run into a petty thief, but it won't be the end if you run into individual traffickers or those seeking revenge on society.

For safety reasons, she borrowed a phone from the conductor on the train and called her mother, then explained their situation.

Mother didn't complain too much about their casual trip. She just told them to pay attention to their safety, and then said that she would tell Mr. Mayne and let Mr. Mayne pick them up if they stayed late.

After telling the adults and making arrangements, Esther seemed much more relaxed.

After getting off the train, they quickly found out where No. [-] Privet Drive was, but they didn't go there immediately.

Because Justin felt that it was not good to go empty-handed when visiting someone's home for the first time, so he suggested buying some gifts first.

Ernie also agreed with this proposal. He said that he had wronged Harry last semester. Although he apologized later, he always felt embarrassed. This time he just gave him a gift, which he treated as an apology.

Although he didn't have a pound on him, he spent Esther's money generously.

He didn't know much about Esther's little treasury before, and he thought that as an older brother, of course he couldn't spend his sister's money, and he would take the initiative to pay for things like going out to play or doing other things.

But since he knew how rich Esther was, he never mentioned these things again.

That is the little rich woman who can give him a brand new broomstick as a Christmas gift without blinking an eye!

Esther thought to herself that with Uncle Harry's and Aunt Harry's family's resistance to wizards, the three of them would probably be driven away even if they brought gold there.

But she didn't discourage them.

Since you're already here, you might as well give Harry some gifts.

She remembered that the plot of the summer vacation this year seemed to be that Harry lost control of his magic and turned some aunt who came to visit the Dursleys into a balloon and blew it away. Then Harry left in the middle of the night and took the Knight Bus to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley. The rest of the summer vacation was spent at the bar.

The summer vacation has just started, so the plot should not be there yet.

Poor Harry should now continue to be treated like Cinderella at his aunt and uncle's house.

In fact, there is one thing that Esther has never been able to figure out.

She knew that the reason why Harry Potter, who was still in his infancy, could survive was because of a kind of love magic protection cast by his mother Lily Potter before she died. This was a very powerful and long-standing magic. Magic, Harry's mother injected this magic directly into his soul, allowing magic to protect Harry on her behalf.

This resulted in Harry having to live in the home of his biological aunt until he came of age, so that he could continue to maintain this magic.

But Harry's life has not been good these years. He lives in a small stairwell, wears old clothes that his cousin doesn't want, and has to help with various housework. The slightest problem will attract the disgust of his aunt and uncle.

what……

To describe it this way, it always feels like Harry is similar to a house elf.

Harry had an unfortunate childhood, so she couldn't quite understand why Dumbledore didn't help him?

When Hagrid was asked to deliver Harry to his aunt and uncle's house, even if Hagrid had used his little umbrella to scare them, they probably wouldn't have dared to do this to Harry.

Maybe Professor Dumbledore didn't know how Harry's aunt and uncle treated him?

After all, Harry's aunt Petunia personally wrote a letter to Dumbledore recommending herself and wanted to study at Hogwarts with her sister, but was rejected because she was a Muggle.

It is estimated that in Dumbledore's eyes, Petunia was also a child who loved magic, but he did not expect that Petunia would later grow to hate out of love, and she hated everything related to magic from then on, including of course the children of her witch sister.

Even if this child is related to her by blood.

It's really sad to think about it this way.

As a child, I wouldn’t give anything expensive as a gift.

Justin is interested in a set of robot puzzle blocks, while Ernie wants to give Harry an aromatherapy product that can help him sleep.

Only Esther silently bought a twelve-inch bacon pizza and some sweet and delicious buns on the road.

She felt that given Harry's current situation, it would be more practical to give him food instead of something for fun.

Justin and Ernie, two little boys who had lived a happy family life since childhood, did not understand Esther's choice. How did they know that Harry might not even have enough to eat before entering Hogwarts? His situation should be better now, but it's not much better. He still has to work at his aunt's house, and then Listen to their various accusations and abuses.

By the time we arrived at No. [-] Privet Drive, it was already past three in the afternoon.

It took a lot more time than they imagined.

Standing at the door, Ernie and Justin, who were unaware, rushed to ring the doorbell, looking forward to meeting their savior Harry.

Esther was a step behind carrying something to eat.

She was afraid that if they got into a fight with Harry's aunt later, the food would be spilled.

The doorbell rang and someone opened the door soon.

This is a housewife wearing an apron. She has an ordinary face and a thin figure. She does not look kind and friendly.

It must be that Aunt Petunia.

Perhaps because Ernie and Justin were both wearing ordinary Muggle clothes, Aunt Petunia politely asked them who they were looking for at first.

When they excitedly revealed that they were Harry Potter's classmates and came to see Harry Potter, her face immediately darkened.

"Looking for Harry Potter? Are you his classmates? I think you are looking for the wrong one. You are not welcome here!"

After speaking, he closed the door mercilessly.

Ernie and Justin were stunned. They looked at each other, and Justin said hesitantly: "Are we looking in the wrong place?"

Ernie was not sure: "Maybe? But his behavior just now was really strange. When she heard that we were looking for Harry Potter, her face instantly dropped. She felt that he should know Harry Potter. .”

After saying that, Ernie turned to look at Esther: "Did you remember the wrong place? Who told you Harry Potter's address?"

Esther shrugged: "Hermione told me, so there shouldn't be a mistake. Maybe she didn't want us to find Harry."

"Why don't you want us to find Harry?"

Ernie doesn't understand, but he asks.

So he rang the doorbell again.

This time the doorbell rang for a long time, and finally a little fat man opened the door.

"who are you?"

The little fat man asked impatiently, his eyes paused on the toys they were holding, and he seemed to like them very much.

"We're looking for Harry Potter."

Ernie told him.

The little fat man's eyes changed when he heard the name: "Are you looking for that freak? Is it possible that you are both freaks like him?"

Justin said dissatisfied: "What kind of freak is not a freak? We are his classmates who came to visit him."

"Mom! Harry has brought a bunch of evil wizards here! I just told him to drive him out. What should I do now?"

"Oh my God! Didn't I just tell you not to open the door? You little monsters, get out! I told you that you are not welcome here, otherwise I will call the police!"

In just a few words, Ernie and Justin, who were in high spirits along the way, realized something was wrong.

It seemed that Harry's relatives didn't like the appearance of the wizard.

After all, they were two young men who were new to the world and were helpless in the face of this situation.

At this time, Esther took out her wand.
