Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

Chapter 120 The foreshadowing of the conflict

DeWitt tried not to lie. He told the story tactfully, saying: "My mother knows the Malfoy family. She can talk a few words. Their friendship originated from a coincidental misunderstanding. Just say hello - you can Don’t worry about Dobby, he must obey his master’s orders, for example - how about asking him to never come to you again?”

"Wait!" Harry would have dark associations when he heard Malfoy. He lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "You said Dobby is from the Malfoy family? Then could Dobby actually follow Malfoy's orders? Are you here to harm me? Because of Dobby, I was detected by the Ministry of Magic for illegal use of magic, and I also received a warning letter."

DeWitt remembered the notice issued when leaving school, which strictly prohibited students from using magic outside of school, but how was this regulated?So he asked: "What's going on?"

"The house elf used magic," Harry recalled in confusion: "Then I received a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic - very quickly, I received it. And it was sent to my home!" He was extremely angry: "Damn it, my uncle saw the content of the letter on the spot and learned that I couldn't cast spells outside the school. I was locked up. If Ron hadn't driven to save me..."

"This is a bit excessive." DeWitt originally thought that Harry's poor treatment was just to do more housework and wear some old clothes, but it seems that the actual situation is worse than imagined: "It's illegal for them to imprison you, right? ?”

"Then what can I do?" Harry said sadly: "When this school year is over... I have to go back again!"

"Call the police?" DeWitt thought of what Ms. Feier had done. Thinking of what he had done, he felt that it seemed a bit ironic for him to consider calling the police now. He couldn't help but grinned and showed a trace of He smiled inappropriately and said, "If magic can't help you, why not consider ordinary people's methods?"

"Then what will my aunt and uncle do?"

"Maybe you will be arrested?" DeWitt said: "This matter... it can be big or small. You can say that you have suffered inhumane abuse. For example, your forehead is a big scar..."

"But everyone knows that it was actually Voldemort who did it."

"Ordinary people don't know. If you say that is evidence that you have been subjected to corporal punishment, then your aunt and uncle will most likely be imprisoned. What about your cousin? He will also become someone who has no one to care about... You Knowing that word reminded me of a riddle - something goes in with six legs and comes out with two legs."

Harry was not in the mood to guess the riddle. It would be very difficult for him to lie in the first place. Although he had thought about taking revenge on his aunt and uncle's family, but no matter what - he had food, shelter and grown up, so he really had the opportunity to take revenge before him. However, what Harry thought about was his aunt and uncle's "good".

It's better than a child who doesn't have enough to eat or clothes to wear, right?Although they have bad attitudes, they are still relatives. If the aunt and uncle "get in", the cousin will really become a different kind of "orphan". Even if the result of revenge is like this, it is really unbearable. Let's try another method, Harry persuaded He felt embarrassed, but looking at DeWitt, he could understand DeWitt's good intentions. A straightforward rejection might be a bit hurtful, so he lowered his head and raised his head, hesitating and tangled.

"Just say it," DeWitt said with a smile, "I won't care even if you scold me."

"I don't think... it's a good idea to do this," Harry was reassured and said boldly: "I know you mean well - but it's wrong to frame them, and I don't want them to go to jail. Such a punishment is too severe. Yes, although the treatment is not as good, it’s not too different..."

"It seems like you are very kind." DeWitt said this without any irony. He did not hate kind people: "This is a good thing."

Faced with such a straightforward compliment, Harry giggled a few times.

DeWitt then thought of a simpler way: "Then go find someone else. What do you think of the Weasley family? I think you are living directly in their house. Maybe their adults will help you? In fact, I would also like to suggest that you go directly to Professor Dumbledore, but that is the Headmaster after all - why not go to Professor McGonagall, these are all ways, what do you think?"

"This is a family matter," Harry always considers other people's feelings and thoughts. He has never considered his own reputation and exploited it, but said: "Trouble others..."

"It's not a shame to bother others. Friendship is how you come and I go back and forth." DeWitt thought of his days in Rivellon, and some of the people he met were like this: "You find someone to help, and then that person Say you do something for me, and you will get paid after you do it..."

"Sounds like some kind of turn-based RPG." Harry didn't know why he just wanted to say this - even though he didn't know what a turn-based RPG was.

"Then we became friends," DeWitt nodded in agreement: "There has to be someone to start with - like now, if I ask you to do me a proper favor, what would you think?"

Without thinking, Harry said, "Of course."

"You see, the opposite should be true," DeWitt taught Harry: "Help each other, what do you think?"

Harry thought for a while, and he vaguely felt that there was something imprecise about it, but he was moved by DeWitt's equal respect and friendship. He nodded heavily and said, "You're right! "

"Then let's go," DeWitt patted Harry on the back: "This is a small matter, these are all small things."

But when they were about to leave, the crowd suddenly came over.

The leader is a arrogant golden retriever - indeed looks like a golden retriever - but he is also a pampered golden retriever from a wealthy family.The man who came over was in a gorgeous golden robe, with broad eyes. He walked with his head held high and his chest raised, with a self-righteous and exaggerated air. Coupled with that handsome face, it really aroused DeWitt's thinking.

If I didn't know the inside story, would I be shocked by this skin?But as soon as Jin Mao opened his mouth, he knew that he was worrying too much. A straw bag was a straw bag, and pretentiousness could not hide the truth.

"Isn't this Harry Potter?" Gilderoy Lockhart shouted excitedly, squeezing over to shake Harry's hand.

There is an impetuous atmosphere in this person's tone, and at the same time, there is also a dreamlike joy, showing his satisfied mood. Does he like the excitement, or do he like the mindless pursuit of these fanatical fans?

However, this did not prevent DeWitt from joining in the fun. He was about to get out of the way to see Harry's embarrassment, but was directly pushed aside by the flow of people brought by Gilderoy Lockhart. Lockhart, the leader, even Hitting DeWitt in the chest with his elbow.

"I'm sorry." Lockhart said this vaguely without looking back. He is just a nobody, so don't worry about him. Maybe this nobody will be proud of having physical contact with him, Lockhart thought shamelessly, and Quickly dive into the current task - nothing can compare to rubbing against Harry's traffic right now.

DeWitt didn't say anything. He avoided the crowd and walked aside. Suddenly he didn't want to be a fun person anymore. He wanted to think about Lockhart's problem.
