Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 186 The Whirlpool of Privet Drive (page 12)

Dursley is the director of a company called Groening, and his main job is to sell drilling rigs.

For commodities like drilling rigs, if you think about it, you will know that the people who need them usually have an important attribute.

That is: there is a mine at home.

As for the Mason couple, the Jaguar luxury sedan they drove with a V12 engine, luxurious leather seats, and chrome-plated wheels and tires was the best proof that "the family has a mine."

Seeing his distinguished guest, Vernon Dursley smiled like a sunny and cheerful boy, and he kept encouraging himself in his heart.

"There will be bread, there will be milk, and there will be some holiday villas by the sea."

Of course, the premise that these beautiful visions can be realized is that Dursley can finalize an agreement with Mr. Mason before the evening TV news program starts.

The family has made a lot of preparations for this:

Petunia had been busy early in the morning, preparing a pile of delicious desserts and a sumptuous meal - French cuisine that was definitely to the British taste;

His son, adorable little Dudley, was dressed in his new dress today, ready to show his guests the good manners he learned at Smelting School;

As for himself, he will never be like other British people who only talk about dull topics about the weather. In recent days, he has learned by heart a few jokes about Japanese golfers and American plumbers.

The only variable in the family is the nephew who doesn't let him worry, but he has locked him in the attic and given him a stern warning.

There should be no problem.

Everything is ready, only missing——

While Dursley was continuing to build himself mentally, an unexpected accident suddenly happened in front of him.

No. 7 Privet Drive, a neighbor near his house, suddenly heard a violent explosion in his house.

The chimney mouth on the roof of the family's house flashed a green light, and then large plumes of thick smoke began to emit.

At first, the smoke was still the color of normal smoke, but within a few seconds, all the smoke turned into a weird pink.

The pink smoke continues to spread, spreading wider and wider, and will soon even cover a street.

The Masons, who had just gotten off the bus, immediately turned around and got on the bus. These capitalists in the mining business were more sensitive to industrial accidents than ordinary people.

However, Mr. Mason, who got into the driver's seat, found that no matter how hard he pressed the clutch and twisted the key, the car's engine never moved at all.

Could it be that the battery is broken?

"Bang bang——!"

Vernon Dursley covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and knocked on the Jaguar's window while shouting to the guests sitting inside.

"Don't stay in the car. Go to my house quickly. I'll seal the doors and windows and call for help."

Not knowing what the smoke was, the Masons did not dare to abandon their car and escape on their legs, because that would increase their exposure to the pink smoke.

"Okay, that's a good idea."

Mr. Mason responded while carrying his wife and Dursley into the courtyard of No. 3 Privet Drive.

"Penny, close the doors and windows quickly."

"Dudley, go find the Scotch tape!"

"Also, Petunia, call your nephew down. Don't let him stay alone in the attic. Let him stay in the hall."

At this moment, Mr. Dursley gave orders to everyone in the family just as he often did in the office.

After saying this, he immediately dragged his huge figure towards the phone in the living room, wanting to dial "999" for help.

However, when he put the phone to his ear, he found that there was no sound at all in the receiver. Only then did Dursley notice that his TV, lights, and even the refrigerator had stopped working due to the power outage.

He cursed under his breath: "Damn it!"

But just when he was considering whether to shout for help from his neighbors, he saw this scene from the living room window: two neighbors ran out of a house across the street, and they were still shouting something. .

Dursley squinted his small eyes - but his eyesight was actually quite good - so he lip-synced the words of the two people.

"There's a power outage, all the electronic products at home can't be used, and our car can't start..."

Dursley originally wanted to say hello to his neighbor, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them fell to the ground while running.

"Dad, you want the tape!"

Dudley stepped on the stairs and walked downstairs with a bang, and Mr. Dursley came back to his senses.

Together with Mr. Mason, who was also in shock, he hurriedly sealed the gaps in the doors and windows with tape, and it took several layers of tape to feel relieved.

Fortunately, he had an owl at home last summer, so he sealed the flue of his fireplace with bricks. Otherwise, tape alone wouldn't be able to seal such a large fireplace.

"It's a loss..."

Dursley was thankful for a second, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

"Pink smoke, household appliances cannot be used, cars cannot start normally..."

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Harry Potter, who had just come downstairs, and met his clear eyes with a hint of stupidity through the thick lenses.

"...Could it be this kid's trick again?"

-

"how come?"

"This is impossible!"

"This makes absolutely no sense!"

Just when Bourne was patiently checking to see which of the indulgent people were left, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure with a sinister look on his face.

Mundungus Fletcher.

As for "familiar", it's because he has indeed come into contact with this person, but this person has never met him.

He'd had physical contact with this guy in Hogsmeade last year, and Mundungus had passed out.

He was acting together with the Weasley twins, and his behavior was inevitably tainted with some Gemini style.

They replaced what Mundungus was selling with a swelling potion, which later caused Professor Quirrell to die on the spot on the Quidditch pitch.

After that, Bourne never saw Mundungus again, and he had little interaction with the most dishonorable member of the Order of the Phoenix.

But Bourne didn't expect that he would actually see Mundungus in a secret meeting place of the Dominatrix Reform Committee.

"He appeared here because Dumbledore also noticed something was wrong with the Dominatrix Reform Committee, so he sent a spy like him?"

Bourne walked up to this guy and wanted to ask directly.

However, even when Bourne stood in front of him, the Mundungus seemed not to realize that anyone was approaching.

This guy's face showed a pure expression of an idiot; his eyes were full of confusion, as if he had drunk too much, but there was no smell of alcohol on his body.
