Chapter 1062 (1/2)
”Who is it, in the middle of the night?”
Exclaimed Uncle Vernon Dursley, obviously dissatisfied with the late night visitor, and came down from the living room upstairs. Harry was stunned, with brass binoculars in one hand and a pair of sneakers in the other. He completely forgot to tell the Dursleys that Dumbledore might come in the evening.
This made Harry panic and funny. He stepped over the suitcase and opened the door. He heard a deep voice saying, ”good evening, you must be Mr. Dursley. I guess Harry has told you I'm coming to pick him up? ”
Harry rushed down the stairs in three and two steps, but when there were still a few steps left, he made a sharp brake, and his long experience told him to keep as far as his uncle's hand could reach at any time.
At the door stood a tall, thin man with a long silvery beard and hair reaching to his waist. Half moon spectacles on the bridge of his nose, he was wearing a black travel cloak and a pointed wizard's hat.
But another person also let Harry incomparably surprised, under the black cloak, exposed is a matchless white face, the water blue eyes seem to have the wave light flow.
Harry is so familiar with this face that he has been rescued countless times at the Dursleys, not to mention Hogwarts.
”Hello, Mr. Dursley, I don't think you'll blame us for our sudden visit, will you?” Said Fanlin, smiling at Dursley.
Vernon Dursley's beard was almost as thick as Dumbledore's, but black, and he wore a dark brown Nightgown, staring at visitors with his small eyes as if he could not believe it.
”From your expression of shock and doubt, Harry certainly didn't tell you about my visit,” Dumbledore said happily. ”But let us assume that you will warmly invite me to your room. In such a turbulent situation, it is not wise to stay at the door for a long time. ”
Dumbledore came in smartly, followed by Fanlin, and then closed the door of course. He was so familiar with such things that you expected Vernon to welcome them in?
There are still some possibilities to bring Mr. al here.
”It's been a long time since we last met,” Dumbledore gazed at Uncle Vernon from his high nose. ”I must say, your purple Clivia is very nice.”
Vernon Dursley said nothing, but Harry believed that he was about to explode, and soon - his uncle's blood vessels in his temples swelled to the limit - Dumbledore seemed to have somehow taken Vernon's breath. Maybe because of his showy wizard costume. But it could also be that even Uncle Vernon felt Dumbledore was a very difficult person to be intimidated.
”Ah, good evening, Harry,” said Dumbledore, looking at him through his half moon glasses with a satisfied expression. ”Great, wonderful.” These words seemed to wake Vernon Dursley. As far as he knew, anyone who praised Harry's ”wonderful” would not have been with Vernon.
”I don't want to be rude -” he began to say, word by word, in a threatening tone.
”But it's worrying that poor, occasional rudeness still happens so often,” Dumbledore said solemnly. ”But don't say anything, my dear. Ah, this must be penny
The kitchen door opened, and there stood Harry's aunt, wearing a pair of rubber gloves and a casual dress over her pajamas. She usually cleans the kitchen again before going to bed, and obviously she's busy. There was nothing but shock on her long horse face.
”Albus Dumbledore,” Dumbledore said before Vernon introduced him. ”Of course, we have passed the letter. And this one I don't think I need to introduce too much, do I? ”
Harry thought it was strange to remind Aunt Petunia that he had sent her an explosive letter in this way, but Aunt Petunia did not object.
”Hello, Mrs. Dursley.” Van Lin nodded. ”Nice to meet you.”
”Ah...”
”This must be your son, Dudley?”
Dudley was peeping through the door of the living room, his big golden head sticking out of the Striped collar of his pajamas. He looked as if he was out of his body, and his mouth was wide open with surprise and fear.
Dumbledore waited, apparently to see if the Dursleys had anything to say. After a while, he laughed.
”Can we come in and talk?” As Dumbledore passed by Dudley, he almost ran away. Harry jumped down the last few steps and followed Dumbledore, still clutching his binoculars and sneakers.
Dumbledore found an armchair against the fire and sat down. He looked around with a kind, cheerful expression on his face. He looks out of place with the tension here.
”We Shall we go? ” Harry asked anxiously.
”Yes, we do. But before that, we have a few more issues to discuss, ”Dumbledore said. ”And I tend not to talk about it outside. We'll disturb your aunt and uncle for a while”Fanlin, how do you...”
”I'm on my way, you know, that's why I can go there, and I think Dudley would love to see me.”
”He wants you to die!” Harry is happy to smile, for Dumbledore and van Lin's arrival, Harry naturally expressed welcome, incomparable welcome.
The two men looked at Dudley's body, which was not Dudley's fault. If Vernon could accept it a little, Dudley would not be afraid of it.
”Do you really decide to do this?” Vernon enters the room, Penny holding his shoulder, and Dudley hiding behind them.
”Yes,” Dumbledore said simply, ”that's it.” He unconsciously drew out his wand; with a slight shake, the sofa flew over and hit the Dursleys on the knee, causing them all to sit on the sofa. He shook a little more, and the sofa flew back.
