Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 7 7. Mrs. Figg Next Door

"Mom, I think we can take care of ourselves." Dudley looked at his parents, frowning.

Recently, Vernon's work has improved greatly. The Groning Company arranged for him to go to Germany to negotiate a large order. As long as he can successfully sign this time, he will be promoted to sales director. It looks like going for three months.

It stands to reason that it is only Vernon who is on a business trip, and it is enough for Penny to take care of Dudley and the others at home. However, Vernon is a Penny, as long as he does not see Petunia when he returns home every day, he is guaranteed to be groggy the next day. , and the work efficiency will plummet.

So Petunia had to go with him, but fortunately, the expenses could be reimbursed by the company.

"My dear, you are still a child." Petunia said with a straight face.

Upon hearing this, Dudley rolled his eyes inwardly.

Have you ever seen a 10-year-old kid win a middle school boxing championship?

This is Dudley's latest championship, um, it's different from last year's junior high school class, this is the high school class

'Harry and I are both ten years old. In other worlds at this age, we can both receive our initial elves and travel around the world. '

Dudley thought to himself.

"I can cook and do my own laundry, I mean we can take care of ourselves."

Dudley argued.

"Dudley, we didn't go for a day or two, but for a full three months. I will not leave my child alone at home." Whether it was intentional or not, Petunia selectively ignored Harry again.

"I'm not going to leave you alone with this freak either."

Vernon also opened his mouth to emphasize that the word 'freak' refers to Harry. Of course, he said this in front of Petunia: "Who knows if this freak will make you like him."

‘I wish I could become a wizard even in my dreams. '

"Then I won't go to Aunt Marge's, never!"

Dudley said firmly and forcefully, emphasizing the first word he was born with, 'Never'.

Maggie Dursley is Vernon's older sister and Dudley's aunt, and it's through her help that the Dursleys improve their lives. Dudley was very grateful to this aunt, but it was absolutely impossible for him to live with Aunt Marge for three months.

It's not that Aunt Maggie doesn't like Dudley, on the contrary, she likes Dudley very much, and every time they meet, she has to give Dudley's little round face a hard slap.

It's just that the living habits of the two are too different.

Maggie raised twelve bulldogs, which is not the point, the point is that she loves and values ​​these bulldogs more than people.

That is to say, to live with her, you first have to endure eating and sleeping with these twelve bulldogs, and secondly, you have to endure that there may be dog saliva in your eating bowl at any time

Dudley liked dogs quite a bit, but he didn't like eating dog drool.

Seeing that Dudley's attitude was very firm, Vernon and Petunia looked at each other in blank dismay.

They also knew that things were bound to go wrong for Dudley and Maggie.

'How about taking Dudley to Germany? '

'But fees and Dudley's studies.'

The two made eye contact.

Seeing his parents' attitude softened, Dudley quickly suggested: "I can wait for you at Mrs. Figg's next door with Harry."

It's impossible for him to go to Germany. It's meaningless to not understand the language. It's better to stay by Harry's side to gather wool.

Mrs. Figg, whose full name is Arabella Figg, is a kind and energetic little old lady who likes to wear a knitted hood. She lives two streets away from the Dursleys' house. It's two streets, In fact, there is not much difference from the neighbors.

When the Dursleys go out or go on vacation, they will entrust her to take care of Harry.

Perhaps because of taking care of Harry for free, the Dursleys have a good relationship with Mrs. Figg.

"Dudley, we're going for a full three months, and we won't be able to come back during this period." Petunia tried to persuade Dudley, but Dudley's attitude was very firm.

Instead of going to Mrs. Figg's and letting him stay home by himself, he had to go to Aunt Marge's.

How does this make Dudley eat?

Dudley the Predator is uncompromising.

Seeing that Dudley never let go after arguing for a while, Vernon and Petunia had no choice but to entrust Mrs. Figg to take care of them.

Harry, who thought that he would not be able to continue living in his own cabin for three months, was still a little sad, but when he heard that he could live with Cousin Dudley, his mood instantly improved a lot.

As if he had noticed Harry's joy, Vernon leaned down his chubby body with difficulty, pointed at Harry and said, "I warn you, kid. Even if we're not here, don't even think about hurting Dudley, Don't try to hurt my family. Just let me know, you know the consequences."

As he spoke, he raised his arm thicker than Harry's waist in a demonstrative manner.

Harry didn't know why, but he nodded obediently.

Maybe Harry can't remember it anymore. When he was very young, he didn't know whether it was because of the magic power or other stimulation. In short, some magical phenomena happened. Dudley's physique was not as strong as it is now, so he was affected by it. I hurt a little.

Vernon may not have been a good uncle, but he was definitely a good husband and father.

The decoration of Mrs. Figg's house is very old-fashioned. The overall size of the house is not much different from Dursley's, but the style is quite different. The environment was slightly dark, and the furniture was very simple. Apart from the burning fireplace, there was only a simple sofa, a table and a few chairs in the living room.

There are no electronics of any kind, not even the radios that the elderly like to use.

old antique.

This was Dursley's assessment of Mrs. Figg.

From time to time, there was a pungent cat smell in the air. It was too pungent to say it was pungent, but at least Dudley didn't think it was pungent.

Vernon didn't like the smell so much that he didn't come in. Everything is communicated by Penny and Mrs. Figg.

Mrs. Figg readily agreed to take care of Dudley and Harry.

Before leaving, Petunia gave Mrs. Figg some money.

If Harry was alone, he could have the audacity to entrust Mrs. Figg to take care of him for free, since he ate little anyway. It wouldn't work if Dudley was added. Dudley probably eats more in a day than Mrs. Figg in a week.

Three months. No matter how thick-skinned Dursley was, he couldn't do such a thing.

Besides, the Dursleys' reputation in these streets is quite good, er, only for ordinary people.

After Petunia and Vernon left, Dudley began to look for something in Mrs. Figg's house with ease, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hugged a passing kitten with extremely agility.

Under the despairing eyes of the kitten, Dudley buried his big fleshy face on the silver belly, and took several deep breaths.

Then he let out a moan full of pleasure.

"Ah~~~Xue'er sucks so much."

Judging from the action, it was obviously not the first time Dudley had done this kind of thing.
