After getting the answer he wanted, Aini could clearly feel the joy overflowing from Vernon.
"They're different, they've been different since childhood, but they're all my children, how can they be different? Just like Petunia and her sister, that's not good, not good."
Vernon muttered and picked up the spilled wine glass and put it aside, took a new glass to refill the wine for the two of them.
"Now that they're the same, it's fine, a lot of the things we were worried about won't happen."
These words sounded nonsense at first glance, but they condensed the worries and anxieties of the Dursleys for 12 years.
A biological son, a theoretically a child left by his wife's deceased sister, and an adopted son in reality, may be close or distant, but they are still "pro" in the end.
The dear ones, the dear ones, and the ones who were raised by their own hands.
Even when the relationship was the most tense, the couple did not give up raising Harry. This was because they had no adoption procedures for Harry, that is, there was no legally compulsory parenting obligation for Harry.
They were afraid, afraid that Dudley and Harry would go the same way as Petunia and Lily.
As a husband, Vernon knew that Petunia had been suffering in her heart. She loved her sister and wanted to protect her.
But after Lily showed her magical talent, the Evans couple always paid more attention to their little daughter, which made Petunia feel that her love had not been replenished and became more and more insignificant.
And since Lily went to that unknown magic school, she no longer needs her sister's protection.
Petunia is out of balance, and the relationship between the sisters has dropped to a freezing point.
Vernon also became unbalanced after learning everything. The man was a teenager until his death, and he also had an extreme desire for magic.
If you can't ask for it, you will be resentful.
They thought that Dali and Harry would repeat the mistakes of the Evans sisters, but someone gave another answer today.
"Vernon, Dali's change is indeed something to be happy about, but you have to know that magic is magical, and magic is also dangerous."
The moment Aini's voice fell, Vernon completed the transition from surprise to worry.
"Oh my God, is Dali's situation dangerous now?"
The man clasped his fingers tightly, afraid of hearing unexpected results.
"All the current appearances are benign. If you are worried, I can add a few small functions to the pair of wrist guards to monitor Dali's physical condition at any time to ensure safety."
"Thank you, thank you so much. I don't know how to express my thanks."
Vernon looked at Aini gratefully. If anyone said that wizards are weirdos in the future, he would break that bastard's nose.
"No, actually, I'm also very interested in the changes in Dali. We can take what we need."
Aini didn't intend to hide his thoughts, he gained knowledge and they ensured safety. This is a good thing for mutual benefit.
"Thank you very much. For you, this may be just a subject, but for us Dali is unique, and his safety is more important than anything else."
Vernon also understood these things, and was still very grateful. Aini's frankness also made him let go of most of his guard.
"Then how do we cooperate? Is there any special request? I'll ask Penny to clean up the guest room later. It may be more convenient for you to live here."
"No, the wristband is ready-made, just need to add a few functions, it will take only a few minutes. I must take Harry away tonight, otherwise it may bring danger to you."
Aini knew that Sirius was innocent, but in order to fill in the hole with Peter, he had to be wronged to be a stray dog for a period of time.
He doesn't think it is right or noble to sacrifice a few for the sake of the many, but choosing not to help strangers for the sake of acquaintances is not a psychological pressure at all.
As long as Peter walks according to his rhythm, the curse of Hogwarts will be vented, Dumbledore will have the upper hand in the confrontation with Voldemort, the professors can get stability and peace for a longer period of time, and little wizards can learn the truth. Wouldn't everyone be happy with more knowledge?
As for Sirius Black, who is that?do you know it?
Vernon knew it, in his mind it was a bad bastard who didn't treat Muggles as human beings.
"Is Harry in danger?"
"No, Harry's boarding family is very strong, and Black dare not go there to act wildly. After school starts, Hogwarts will be safer. Our headmaster is recognized as the strongest white wizard."
Dumbledore's "strongest" is of course a question mark, but for Vernon, this bluffing title is undoubtedly very convincing.
Knowing that Harry's safety was guaranteed, Vernon felt a little better.
After learning that Harry would be sent away, Vernon was worried at first, but then he felt relieved.
After all, Harry was the source of the attack, and sending him away meant that the Dursleys were safe, and Petunia and Dudley were safe.
This is human nature, and it is very rare for Vernon to worry about whether Harry will be in danger first.
But the next moment, Aini saw that Vernon's face was getting redder, as if he was about to bleed.
He was thankful for Harry's departure, and ashamed of himself for being thankful.
Harry Potter, not Harry Dursley, but also a child raised by Vernon.
Vernon knew there was nothing he could do about it, and he hated the feeling, and even more so, the sudden flash of emotion he had just had.
As the head of the family, Vernon took it for granted that everyone should obey his orders, so protecting the safety of his family should also be his responsibility, his mission, the meaning of existence, and his pride.
But today, the shame caused by rejoicing smashed his former pride to pieces.
He is no longer omnipotent, nor is he the biggest backer for the children.
Aini understood and left the room silently, leaving Vernon a chance to be alone. Every father has to go through this test, and the ups and downs of it can only be tasted and adjusted by himself.
He greeted Petunia first, then walked into the activity room, asked Harry to pack his luggage, and then added a few sets of runes to Dali's wristband.
"Sir, you want Harry to pack his bags, don't you mean he won't be back?"
The little fat man reluctantly unplugged the power of the game console, they had reached the final level.
"No, Harry will be back...but not until next year when Hogwarts is on holiday."
Aini's words at the beginning made Dali happy, but then his head drooped again.
"Well, I could ask Peel to play with me, but he's too stupid."
"Don't be sad, Dudley, you can practice boxing and I'm sure you'll be the best boy in Bulton Street."
Aini tapped the wristband on Dali's hand, making this simple child happy.
"Well, Professor Scamander."
Vernon coughed softly from behind, holding a thick envelope in his hand.
"Please give them to Harry's host family, there's only so much I can do."
"unnecessary……"
"No, please take it, the children of the Dursleys can't eat and live for nothing, Harry please."
Seeing Vernon's determined expression, Aini took the envelope, which contained [-] pounds, which was too much to pay for a month's board and lodging expenses.
Obviously, Vernon wanted to "pay" for Harry's safety, and that was his "half-father" last insistence.
