Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

Hearing this answer, Dumbledore's gaze lingered on Dudley for a moment, then he exchanged a glance with Professor McGonagall, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing Hagrid didn't do anything too extreme." - McGonagall

"I didn't expect that the Dursleys' children and Harry already had such a deep relationship." - Dumbledore

"We agreed to go to Smeltings High School together." Harry insisted stubbornly.

Going to school with Dudley was Harry's biggest wish at the moment. If he was the only one who could go, he would not go even if that place was heaven.

"Harry, if that's the case you don't have to worry about it."

Professor McGonagall changed her serious expression, looked at Harry and said softly, "Because your brother, Dudley Dursley, is also one of our new students this time."

Dumbledore also looked at Dudley at this time: "Mr. Dursley, you should have received the letter, right?"

"What? Dudley? Oh my god!"

Before Dudley could say anything, Petunia suddenly stood up from the sofa and shouted in a somewhat inappropriate tone.

Going to Hogwarts to study has been her biggest wish in the first half of her life.

'I gave birth to a wizard?'

Parents sometimes pin what they don't have on their children. This is a very common psychological reaction. If Dudley can go to Hogwarts, in a sense, it means that he has fulfilled the dream that Petunia couldn't fulfill.

After realizing her own loss of composure, Penny sat back down awkwardly. Her mood was very complicated at the moment.

If only Harry went to Hogwarts, she would definitely be against it, but if Dudley could also go, Petunia was a little hesitant for a moment.

People are just so double-standard sometimes.

This is understandable, as Petunia's previous attitude towards Lily was a mixture of sisterly concern and jealousy over Lily going to Hogwarts alone.

This led to Petunia being very targeted when Harry was staying at the Dursleys. She intentionally gave the good things to Dudley and the bad things to Harry. The strong contrast made her feel better.

Fortunately, Dudley was there to mediate, otherwise Harry would have felt that he was being abused.

But this does not mean that she does not love Harry. The basis of the ancient protective spell that Lily cast is "love". Without "love" except for the blood of relatives, the spell will no longer be effective.

In fact, it can be summed up with a sentence from Xun Ge'er: "I am afraid that my brothers will suffer, but I am also afraid that my brothers will drive a Land Rover."

That's human nature.

"Are you talking about this letter?" Dudley took out a burnt letter from his pocket and put it on the table. "Unfortunately, it was already like this when I saw it."

Dudley was not sure whether he could go to Hogwarts. Shinji Matou's magician physique and his magic power value of 0.8 were really embarrassing.

"Oh my Merlin. To be burned like this."

Professor McGonagall took out her wand and tapped the almost burnt letter.

With a 'swish' sound, it returned to its original state.

With a tap of the magic wand, he can accomplish things that ordinary people cannot do, and even reconcile broken relationships.

'It's really eye-catching.'

Dudley looked at the restored letter, and this time he could see the handwriting clearly.

"Dear Mr. Dursley: We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

The letter is true

Even though he looked calm, Dudley couldn't help but feel excited inside.

"Mr. Dursley," Dumbledore looked at Dudley and spoke again. His blue eyes were sharp and bright, deep and penetrating. "I heard from Mrs. Figg that you are very interested in the wizarding world and magic. Do you have any intention of studying at Hogwarts?"

"I formally invite you on behalf of Hogwarts."

Chapter 27: A Good Child Who Loves His Brother

"Go! Of course!"

It was not Dudley who spoke, but Petunia. When she heard Dumbledore's words, she almost shouted them out.

Several people looked at Petunia, even Vernon opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and looked at his wife in surprise.

'Didn't you say you wanted to stay away from that place, dear?'

Vernon's mind was a little confused, and he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, but now was obviously not the time.

However, he didn't know that what Petunia was thinking at this moment was: 'I knew Dudley was so good, he would definitely go to Hogwarts and become a great wizard.'

The speed of the change in attitude is astonishing.

In fact, this is a true portrayal of an ordinary person. People are not saints, and double standards are the norm.

Petunia could ignore Harry's feelings, but Dudley couldn't. He was the lubricant between the two, and it had been like this all these years: "Before answering the headmaster's invitation, please allow me to ask a question."

"you say."

Dadley tried his best to adjust his state of mind with the ripple breathing method, keeping his mind calm and making it impossible for the other party to read his thoughts, no matter if he was a mean person or a gentleman.

"How are the men who killed my aunt's family doing? Have they received the punishment they deserve? I heard from the wizard Hagrid before that the laws of our ordinary world do not apply to wizards."

"I think that man's men are very eager to get rid of Harry."

'At this time, I only think about myself'

After hearing Dudley's words, Harry felt himself being wrapped in warmth again.

Quietly wiped away the moisture that overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

Brother D is so nice, I cried so hard.

"Most of them received the punishment they deserved and were imprisoned in Azkaban, um... the prison of the wizarding world." Dumbledore said so. He paused when he mentioned Azkaban, then remembered that the Dursleys were ordinary people, and began to explain.

"Most of the time?" Dudley raised his eyebrows, catching the point.

Dumbledore thought for a moment and tried to express it in simple terms: "Some people just make mistakes in the heat of the moment. It doesn't mean they are bad people, nor does it mean they will harm Harry, at least not when he is at Hogwarts."

"I understand." Dudley nodded and summarized in very concise words: "Wealth, power and influence helped them get out of trouble. They will not harm Harry unless there is a benefit that is attractive enough for them."

'? Did I say that?'

Dumbledore looked at Dudley deeply. The Dursley children were more mature than he had imagined.

"Then, one last question." Dudley put his hands on the edge of the table, crossed his fingers and placed them under his nose. He asked in a very slow tone with a blank expression, "Is Hogwarts safe?"

Is Hogwarts safe?

It is normal for Muggle children who don't know the greatness of Hogwarts to have this question.

As soon as Dudley finished speaking, Professor McGonagall said in a slightly proud tone: "Of course, Hogwarts is the safest place in the world!"

Dudley looked at Dumbledore, and saw that the old man who looked somewhat like Gandalf spoke slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. Dursley, Hogwarts is very safe."

"you promise."

"I promise."

"Then I am glad to study at your school."

Dudley changed his previous serious expression and a bright smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he smiled like a child, if you ignored his muscles.

Professor McGonagall also smiled: "So Harry."

Before Professor McGonagall could finish, Harry couldn't wait to say, "If Brother D goes, I'll go too!"

As for her parents' opinions, just looking at how excited Penny was just now, you can tell that she definitely agrees.

As for Vernon, he listened to Petunia.

Looking at the scene of "brotherly love and respect" in front of her, Professor McGonagall quietly wiped her eyes. Although she looks serious on the surface, Professor McGonagall is actually a very emotional person.

Except for Vernon who was still grumbling in dissatisfaction, this was a happy outcome for everyone.

"Minerva." Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction. As long as Harry went to Hogwarts, it would be fine. "Maybe you should take them to Diagon Alley to buy the things they need for school admission. After all, they grew up in the Muggle world and have never been to Diagon Alley."

"Originally I wanted Hagrid to lead them, but I don't think he's right for the job."

Professor McGonagall did not object to Dumbledore's arrangement. Instead, she was very happy with it: "Tomorrow I will also take care of a little witch who received a letter."

"Let's go together."

"Then I will come to pick you up on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Of course, as the little wizard's parents, you can also go with us."

Professor McGonagall's last words were obviously addressed to the Dursleys.

"Absolutely"

Before Vernon could finish his words, Petunia quickly pinched the soft flesh on his waist. When Vernon grimaced in pain, she took over the topic and smiled at Professor McGonagall, "Of course."

Not far from the Dursleys, Dumbledore suddenly said to Professor McGonagall, "Minerva, what do you think of Mr. Dursley?"

"He is a good kid who loves his brother."

Dumbledore paused slightly after hearing the words 'caring for his brother' and nodded thoughtfully. It was unknown what he was thinking.

At the same time, Vernon, Petunia, Dudley and Harry sat in a corner of the sofa, staring at each other.

"Penny."

Just now, Dumbledore and the others were here, so Vernon didn't feel comfortable asking. Now that they were gone, he became a little impatient.

He had a thousand doubts in his mind.

"Dudley, Harry."

Before Vernon could finish, Petunia interrupted him and turned to Dudley and Harry and said, "You two should go and rest first. The adults have something to discuss."

So the two of them went back to their respective rooms obediently, leaving Petunia and Vernon alone.

"Brother D, we can go to school together again."

Harry said with a little excitement before they parted.

Although I felt a little regretful that I couldn't go to Smelting Middle School, the regret disappeared when I thought about being with Dudley.

Dudley rubbed Harry's head and said meaningfully, "Harry, I may need your guidance at Hogwarts."

The moment he returned to his room, Dudley almost laughed out loud.

I'm finally going to have my own magic.

Today is such a lucky day. Not only did I get to study at Hogwarts, but I also got some magic.

So, Dudley decided to take advantage of his good luck and extract the magic.

Maybe human luck has its limits.

At the same time, Dudley also forgot one important thing.

The law of conservation of character.

As the slot machine slowly stopped spinning wildly, Dudley got the result of the lottery.

"Congratulations: Extracting Magic - Illumination!"

Dudley: "Damn, I knew it!"

PS1: Remember this illumination, maybe it's useless. PS2: Although it's great to reject Dumbledore, firstly, Dudley's original wish was to learn magic, and secondly, writing Harry Potter without going to Hogwarts is too much of a test for my imagination. Do you want to see pure original works for the remaining two magic schools? You don't want me to copy them, hum (￢︿￢☆)

Chapter 28: The Fisherman Never Goes Empty-handed (Please Give Me Votes)

I don't know what Petunia and Vernon talked about yesterday. The next day, Vernon seemed like a different person. He no longer complained about magic and showed great interest in Diagon Alley, which they were going to today.

If Dudley didn't know that Petunia couldn't do magic, he would have suspected that he had a new brain.

"How long will it take for Professor McDull to arrive? I can't wait to see that magical world."

Leaning back on the sofa, Vernon looked very excited.

"It's only half past eight, and there's still thirty minutes to nine." Dudley looked at the clock on the wall. He had just finished his morning exercise and was wiping the sweat off his face as he walked towards the bathroom. He corrected her, "And it's Professor McGonagall, not Professor McDull. It's very rude to call someone by the wrong name."

"Oh, Vernon, come and see how I look in this dress today?"

Petunia's anxious voice came from the bedroom, and Vernon hurried over.
