The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

0237 Protection and trouble

After entering the door, Aini took off his hat to greet the owner, then took off his windbreaker in a proper manner, and hung it and his hat on the hanger, instead of letting them find their own place as in his own home.

Vernon's expression became more friendly when he bent down again to change into slippers and present a gift.

This friendliness was related to that bottle of high-end Bordeaux red wine. There was nothing in Vernon's collection that could compare to it, but if he wanted to, he could buy himself a better one with his current financial strength.

Last year Vernon earned a huge commission from Mr. Mason's orders. Although it wasn't enough to win Maqiaoka's villa as he boasted, it still allowed them to exchange for a bigger house.

Compared with the old houses on Privet Drive, the traffic on Bourton Street is more convenient. Whether it is Smelting Middle School where Dali is going, or the drilling machine company where Vernon works, starting from here can save at least half of the time.

In terms of law and order, there is no comparison. There are no "miscellaneous" guys wandering in front of the door in the eyes of the Dursleys.

The most important thing is that they have more and bigger space. Dali has been praising his father for half a month for his activity room, and his wife is also very satisfied with the spacious kitchen and dining room.

As a middle-aged man who takes care of his family, what could be more wonderful than this?

Vernon is not short of money now. After taking Mr. Mason's order, he has also become famous in the circle. He has completed several large orders in a year, and his income is very rich.

So what he valued more was the attitude of the other party, no one would like to entertain a guest who acts on his own at home.

Equality and respect may not be the best stepping stones, but they must be the cornerstone of a solid friendship.

At this moment, Penny, who heard the commotion, came out of the restaurant. She had just put the last dish on the table.

"This is my wife Petunia, Petunia Dursley."

Vernon happily held his wife's hand, "This is Harry's professor, Aeneas Scamander."

"Hello, Professor Scamander."

"Hello, Mrs. Dursley, an old liar once told me that successful men can make their wives look younger and more beautiful. Today I find that liars sometimes tell the truth."

Ani's words really spoke to Petunia's heart. The potion Harry brought back was amazing, and with the money at home, she no longer had to worry about daily necessities. She lived a very comfortable life, which seemed at least better than it was two years ago. Ten years younger.

Vernon was also greatly benefited, and even began to reflect on his prejudice against wizards.

Look, what a perfect young gentleman, he believed Dali would be like when he grew up.

"Hehe, Professor Scamander, you are a perfect gentleman."

Petunia expressed her husband's thoughts in a tacit understanding. With just one sentence, Ani relieved Mrs. Dursley's nervousness when facing a strange wizard.

"Haha, in fact, you can call me by my name directly. After all, in the British education records, I should be classified as illiterate."

After a burst of laughter, the relationship between the three of them was drawn closer again, and the couple had already basically recognized this young man who seemed mild and harmless, polite and humorous.

So the next scene was not harmonious except when Petunia went to the activity room and pulled out the two leather children who were playing with their heads by their ears. The laughter and laughter never stopped at the dinner table.

However, the side effects were a bit obvious, and the Vernon family sometimes had to swallow their food quickly, so as not to be rude in front of new friends.

"Hey Dudley, try this with you."

After finishing the meal, Aini called the fat boy to stop, and took out a pair of wristbands that looked very thin.

"Is this a gift for me?"

The moment his eyes fell on the wristband, Dali was attracted by the strange patterns on it. After getting the affirmation from the other party, the fat boy cheered and fastened it to his wrist.

"what!"

Dali let out a soft cry, and the light wristband he held in his hand just now became much heavier the moment he put it on, and suddenly he staggered a step forward before stabilizing his body.

But as Dali moved his arm up and down, the weight on his wrist gradually became smaller, and finally remained at a level that was very comfortable for him.

"This is amazing, is it really for me?"

The little fat man fondled the new toy obsessively, and couldn't help but confirm it with Aini again.

Vernon stood up abruptly when he heard the call, and walked towards the wine cabinet as if nothing had happened, and took out a bottle of good wine from his collection.

"Of course, it's yours now, and Harry said his cousin liked boxing, and I think you do have a talent for it."

Aini patted the boy's thick shoulder, "You can control its weight with your mind, and usually keep it at a level that doesn't make you uncomfortable. I believe it will be a good exercise tool."

"Thank you, Mr Scamander."

Dali didn't like to feel light in his hands, and a certain weight would make him feel more comfortable.

"Okay, go play with Harry."

After dismissing the two children, Aini and Vernon sat on the sofa in the reception room.

"I think from today onwards, you will be the most welcome guest at the Dursleys' house. Before, Petunia and I thought wizards were a bunch of weird people who were difficult to deal with."

Vernon put half a glass of red wine on the coffee table in front of Aini, "Oh, I don't mean to offend, your behavior tells us that wizards and ordinary people can also become friends."

"It's not just friends, Vernon, there are many wizards who marry ordinary people. After all, we are individuals first and then wizards. It's like you are an individual first and then a company executive."

Aini raised the wine glass and gestured slightly, and the two drank together.

"Actually, part of your understanding of wizards is correct. Careerists, dangerous elements, villains, and inexplicably arrogant fools, it is necessary to guard against them."

For Vernon, he previously regarded the group of wizards as an illegal organization, and thought there was nothing good in it.

But now he sees wizards more as ordinary people with special abilities. As an adult with perfect thinking ability, Vernon has long known that there is no simple right and wrong in the human heart, only complicated thoughts and choices.

"Aha, there will be some bad people in any group, understandable, understandable, of course, I will definitely not invite such people to my house."

Vernon thought he was humorous and laughed, but later found that Aini didn't laugh along with him, but instead had a strange look in his serious eyes.

"I'm sorry, Vernon. One of the reasons I'm taking the liberty of visiting is to help you avoid a visitor who is likely to come uninvited."

As he spoke, Aini took out a few photos from his pocket and put them on the coffee table.

At this moment, Vernon realized something, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he picked up the photo on the desktop, the blood-red font on it made his heart sink.

"Damn it, I knew that boy was a problem when I adopted Harry."

Vernon roared angrily, this was the first time he lost his composure in front of Aini today.

"Then please tell me how to protect him!"
