Chapter 327
Summer vacation time flies by, in this summer vacation, everyone lived the life they like.At least at first.
Harry was learning while practicing. The imprint left by Lily Potter on him, those talents about potions were being fulfilled bit by bit. Kan's professor, but he no longer rejects the knowledge taught by that annoying professor.
On the contrary, after being guided by Taylor and Luke, Harry has fallen in love with the feeling of brewing potions.Even he began to learn to cast spells without a wand, trying to experiment with more complex potions in his bedroom.
This is the news he got when he wrote to Luke.Luke told him that the way the Ministry used to monitor little wizards was by trace wires attached to wands.Rather than the magic power of the little wizard itself.
Luke also said that if he needs it, he can help Harry get an unowned wand. This wand may not necessarily match Harry's magic power and physique, but it can definitely help Harry use magic skillfully.
Of course, Harry can also choose a more complicated but freer way of casting spells.Cast without a staff.
"This is an advanced way of casting spells, but the difficulty of mastering is actually not too high. It is really very simple to simply guide the magic power to do some simple things. If there is a need to cast spells, then I suggest You go to Hermione to ask for a few simple magic formulas. Of course, Hermione's magic formulas are immature, if you take the initiative to be a guinea pig, she will be very happy."
These were Luke's exact words, and Harry thought about it seriously, and felt that it was a bit difficult to be Hermione's guinea pig.So decisively gave up Luke's second suggestion.
But for the matter of casting spells without a stick, he was really interested.
After trying for quite some time...
He has achieved results, although not many, but there are indeed.
He has been able to brew some crude potions.
Without the guidance of the magic wand, his magic power can already be controlled to a certain extent, which is of course a great thing.
Because of this, watching Harry let the teacup fly in front of him, and no one came to punish him for a long time, the Dursley family's vigilance towards Harry was even more full.
After they got the information last year that underage wizards are not allowed to cast spells outside of school, they felt confident at home.But I didn't expect that this despicable wizard would actually brew those evil potions.
And now, this nasty wizard has found a way to circumvent the ban, which made Uncle Vernon complain viciously while chatting with Aunt Petunia in the bedroom.
"Is the government of the wizarding world as corrupt as the British government?"
Harry didn't know about his question.But even if Harry knew, he couldn't give a proper answer.After all, for him, the Ministry of Magic is even just a noun that will appear in the communication of classmates.
While he was at school, he was in charge of Hogwarts.The Ministry of Magic rarely interferes with the internal affairs of Hogwarts.And when he's out of school, he's in the hands of the British government.
So he was new to the Ministry of Magic.
But he didn't know that his unfamiliarity with the Ministry of Magic would end in an accident after all.
On this day, Maggie Dursley, Uncle Vernon's sister, appeared at the Dursley's dinner table.
She also brought along a very nasty, vicious-looking dog.
Harry was very impressed with the fat woman.Because she seemed to hate Harry more than her brother, the head of the house, Uncle Vernon.Whenever she saw Harry, it was as if she saw a nasty bedbug in her brother's house.
That disgust was written on his face.
This caused Harry to suffer a great humiliation at a young age.
But at that time, Harry didn't have any ability to resist except for patience.He could only glare at the fat woman in front of him.But what they get in exchange is often this woman's triumphant smile.
Human nature is complicated, but the evil side is often shown to the weak.
Harry was the underdog in Maggie Dursley's eyes.
But today...offensive and defensive changes.
"you shut up!"
Harry looked angrily at Maggie Dursley in front of him, looking like an enraged lion.
And Maggie was surprised at the resistance of the young man who had been submissive, and the next moment, such surprise turned into offended anger.
"Oh! You uneducated child! Yelling at the dinner table! It's all your damn parents' fault!"
She growled in a louder, shriller voice than Harry's, causing Dudley to cover his ears.
Uncle Vernon saw the anger on Harry's face, and knew that the situation would probably get out of control if this continued.What happens when you piss off a wizard?
He only knew that when several wizards made fun of him back then, the damage caused was already unacceptable to him.
"No, no, Maggie Xiaoxiao..."
It's a pity that before he finished speaking, the smile on Maggie's face turned into ridicule.
"Oh yes, I forgot, your damn parents are already dead."
Once these words came out, not to mention Harry, even Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia couldn't stand it anymore.After all, in the final analysis, this is just a young child in front of them. They hate this child, and also hate his father and mother, but this kind of thing... Should it really be said in front of a child?
And Harry...
When the other party said these words, he felt a sudden pop in his ears.The old woman in front of him was so hideous that it even made Harry think of using magic on her.After the explosion ended, Harry's ears were basically filled with inexplicable wind whistling in his ears.
There were no adult wizards around Harry at this time.
So he didn't know that his current state should be called magic out of control.
In fact, after a little wizard has learned magic, he can often use spells to release the excess magic power in his body.So this saves little wizards from having to suffer from the occasional loss of magic power.
After all, the loss of magic power itself is quite a headache.Not only is it harmful to the little wizard's body, but it also violates the current strategy of the wizarding world to hide from the public.
But those talented young wizards will still lose control of their magic power when they lose control of their emotions.
Just like Harry now.before his eyes.
Maggie Dursley's already round body turned into a ball completely.
And the ball is still expanding.
Such a turn of events brought Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon back to their senses.Of course, the first thing they did was to rush to catch Maggie who had already started to flutter towards the ceiling.
"Maggie! Maggie! Take my hand!"
Uncle Vernon struggled to lift his heavy body from the ground to a not-so-high height, and then slammed it heavily on the floor.
Of course, he didn't reach his sister's rounder fingers.
He looked at Maggie who had turned into a 'balloon' in front of him, with panic on his face.
And just when he was about to jump up for the second time, Maggie's dog suddenly rushed towards him and bit him on the shoulder.
This made Uncle Vernon let out an exclamation, and also made him lose the last chance to hold Maggie.
Aunt Petunia screamed and yelled and covered her face in bewilderment.
So she is not going to do anything.
And before Luke's eyes, as for Dudley, the lovely Dudley was feasting on the dining table.
The plate of cake that was originally only placed in front of Maggie Dursley's eyes was brought to his own.Stretching out a finger, after applying a large dollop of cream, he stuffed the finger into his mouth and sucked it, showing a contented smile.
Harry looked at the Dursleys who were in a hurry, and Maggie who had floated out of the room towards the sky, with a bright smile on his face.
But he made a decision anyway.
So he walked upstairs to his room without hesitation.
He let Hathaway out the window.
"Go to the Leaky Cauldron, there will be some people to meet you."
He warned Hathaway, and Hathaway nodded humanely, then turned her head and disappeared into the gloomy night.
Harry took a deep breath. They had originally agreed to meet at the Leaky Cauldron in the near future.After all, school starts soon.
But now, it is just to advance this matter.
And the Leaky Cauldron also offers accommodation.
As for how much it will cost?
Harry had never bothered about money.
After all, although he is not as rich as Luke, it is difficult to spend all his money by himself.After all, he has no habit of gambling, nor does he have the idea of making a fortune in the mall.
Coupled with the fact that he has no special preference for luxury goods, his money is indeed in an endless state.
It's just a few days stay, small problem.
So he quickly stuffed his things into his suitcase, then turned around and dragged his suitcase to leave.
After all, the more important thing is...he was in trouble this time. Although he didn't use a wand, in fact, he still used magic on Muggles, and was seen by many Muggles.
It was time for everyone to eat, but Harry wasn't going to take any chances that no one would see that fat aunt floating in the sky like a balloon.
And after he hurried downstairs, he was immediately bullied by the angry Uncle Vernon.
Uncle Vernon grabbed his collar and pulled him towards him: "Boy! Hurry up and release the magic on Maggie, and go rescue her!"
But Harry's eyes were slightly cold, and his face was sullen, and he pointed his index finger on Uncle Vernon's chest.
"Let go of me, or I'll give you a little surprise too."
His tone was cold, obviously quite serious.So Uncle Vernon chose to let go of Harry without hesitation.But the anger on his face didn't disappear because of his confession.
"Go get her back!"
he yelled.
"I do not!"
Harry growled back.
"This is what she deserves!"
So he forced Uncle Vernon away, ignored Aunt Petunia and Cousin Dudley who were frightened, and rushed out of the house.
The Dursleys behind him had no intention of stopping him.After all, they didn't know whether Harry would really do anything to them.
And Harry, who walked out of the house, walked in a certain direction.But why it is in this direction, he himself does not know.
In his ears, there was also a faint scream that was unpleasant to hear.He looked up.A fat balloon is bouncing on the roofs of various houses.
Harry looked at the balloon, and after a moment of silence, a happy smile appeared on his face.
What he didn't know was that behind him, a big black dog silently got into the bushes.
………………
"Oh, it looks like our conversation is going to be interrupted for a while. I have a little business to attend to."
Cornelius Fudge said politely to the person across the table.
And the person opposite him had a slight smile on his face, watching a "pink-skinned toad" hand over a notice in his hand to Fudge.
"That's all right. The Minister for Magic is supposed to be on top of everything."
As he said that, he seemed to think of something suddenly, and said seriously: "Do you need me to avoid it?"
Cornelius Fudge glanced at the notice in his hand, a strange expression flashed across his face, then he smiled and said to the boy in front of him: "No, Mr. Gunter, there is no need for that."
He handed the notice in his hand to Luke's eyes, and said with a smile in his tone: "It seems that our 'savior' has gotten into a little trouble."
Luke looked at the paper in his hand.It reads, "Abnormal magical fluctuations were found near Privet Drive. At the same time, a Muggle woman who had been 'levitated' was witnessed by a considerable number of Muggles within the block."
Luke raised an eyebrow.In his memory, this seems to be the plot of the original book.But unexpectedly, after he had provided so much help to Harry, such a thing would happen again.
It can only be said that in some respects, the constricting power of this world is really quite strong.
After reading it, Luke also showed a smile on his face and said: "I think Minister Fudge should be able to understand the weakness of the little wizard's control over magic power. When their spiritual defenses are breached and the whole person's emotions are out of control. , this kind of thing is inevitable.”
"Also, I personally know something about Harry's family situation. Honestly, I don't think it's a normal family."
"That's why things like this happen. I don't think Harry should be held accountable."
Luke's words were clear, and Fudge nodded after listening to him.Then prepare to say something and continue to draw closer to Luke.
But at this moment, Kingsley Shaker suddenly opened the door and broke in.
Then whispered something in Fudge's ear.
The expression on Fudge's face suddenly changed, and after a moment of silence, he said to Luke: "It seems that I still have to meet Harry Potter."
