Not long after dawn, the Dursleys said goodbye to the Andersons, and drove their car non-stop to prepare to go home.

Petunia was sitting in the back seat, hugging Dudley who had gone back to sleep immediately after getting into the car, with a face full of horror. She had been in this mood since she answered Mrs. Pence's phone call early this morning.

"Vernon, what should we do! No one can do such a strange thing like disappearing out of thin air, except for my annoying and weird sister's family!" Petunia's face was broken, and her emotions were particularly agitated. : "Oh, obviously we haven't been in touch for so many years, why did we suddenly appear, if they continue like this, the reputation of our well-behaved good family will be ruined by their stupid magic!"

"My dear, calm down!" Vernon Dursley was sitting in the driver's seat and driving the car. He was also full of anxiety, wishing he could fly home and ask Mrs. Burns about the situation, but he had to Try to calm down, otherwise they will have to die on the way back to Privet Drive before they get burned by that weird family-due to a traffic accident.

"Your sister, I mean—Lily, has she ever written or called to say she's coming to our house?" he asked.

"How is it possible!" Petunia screamed, and then her voice immediately fell due to Dudley's unconscious writhing in his sleep: "It's not like you don't know, since that terrible time with her and her useless husband After the meeting, our two families will not communicate during the holidays." She lowered her voice and said viciously: "Since then, she has never said anything about meeting again, no!"

"Then I'm afraid things will get worse." Vernon's face was dripping with sweat, and his face turned pale: "According to what you said, the woman with the baby who appeared outside our house last night Probably not your sister. Even the eccentric Potters couldn't have wandered outside our house in the middle of the night without any prior notice."

"Who could it be?" Petunia's voice also became trembling.

"I don't know..." Vernon replied, rare to be clear-headed: "But they have no reason to trouble us, we have never done anything! We have never come into contact with any weird people who know that kind of strange magic, Except the Potter family. If they come to our family, it must be because of that family. You should call Lily first to see what's going on."

Petunia quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, found the phone number she had never called once from the address book, and pressed the dial button.

A few minutes later, Petunia raised her head with a pale face: "I can't get through the phone."

With all sorts of uneasy guesses, the Dursleys returned to No. 4 Privet Drive at lightning speed.After listening to the detailed statement of Mrs. Burns who was waiting there, and seeing the gap of a wooden post missing from the fence for no reason, and the little sawdust and charred plants left on the ground, the two of them could hardly stand on their feet.

"What did I do in my last life!" After sending Mrs. Burns away, Petunia sat on the sofa with her hands covering her face, tears streaming out like crazy, and a whimpering sound came out of her mouth: "Why? I want a younger sister who will only cause trouble!"

Vernon rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in the living room, his fat body exuding a sense of decadence. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly rushed to Petunia and squatted down.

"Penny, we can only do this." Vernon put his hands on Petunia's shoulders and said.

Petunia let go of her hand, revealing a pair of walnut-like red and swollen eyes: "How to do it?"

"Leave the UK." Vernon's voice was firmer than ever before, "My company recently has a long-term development project to go to the United States, and the whole family can go there. Let's leave the UK and go to the United States, as soon as possible, deal with everything, and leave immediately !"

"But..." Petunia hesitated: "Things...maybe...not so bad...I mean, maybe Lily didn't answer my call because of something...Maybe our worries are unnecessary of……"

"If it's that bad! How many phone calls have you made since just now, has one of them got through? If the Potters really got into any trouble and involved us, think of the fence that was shattered into powder! There's nothing the weirdos can do! Think of Dudley! We can't take any chances!" Vernon yelled, standing up suddenly.

He squatted down again, and said softly to Petunia: "Think about it, my dear, as long as we arrive in the United States, no matter what weird things happen, it has nothing to do with us, it's just us and Dudley. Maybe we will be unfamiliar at first , but things will get better soon, it's better than now, if there is a little trouble, we will be scared to death."

Petunia covered her face again and burst into tears.

"You're right." After a while, the crying stopped, and Petunia's weak voice came from behind the palm, but it was very clear.

"We're leaving right now."
