Chapter 64 Your attitude makes it difficult for me
.....
The moment Mia saw Harry, her eyes instantly turned red.
Turbulent emotions surged into her heart, wave after wave, and she couldn't breathe.
The child in front of her was thin and small, with messy hair, and a pair of green eyes exactly like Lily's.
This is Lily's child!
This is her best friend's child!
This is the child who almost became her godson!
Mia stood up in an instant, walked forward with tears in her eyes, stretched out her hand to push Vernon aside, and hugged little Harry in her arms.
"Harry, you have suffered!" Mia's voice was a little choked, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Ten years late!"
At the beginning, after learning that Lily's family was killed and only one child was left, Mia was determined to adopt her friend's child.
However, when they arrived at Privet Drive, they were stopped by Dumbledore.
Perhaps it was because Dumbledore did not trust Sebastian at the time.
Perhaps it was because Dumbledore was worried that Harry was too famous and would become a dandy when he grew up in the wizarding world.
Perhaps it was because of the magic left by Lily that Harry had to live with his relatives.
In short, Mia's request to adopt Harry was rejected by Dumbledore...
What Mia couldn't accept was that Dumbledore asked them to make a promise that they would not approach him in any form and interfere with his peaceful life in the Muggle world before the summer vacation when Harry was 11 years old.
For this reason, Mia never said a word to Dumbledore again, nor did she forgive Dumbledore.
Unlike Mia's pure concern for Harry, Sebastian's feelings for Harry at the time were very complicated.
He liked the characters in the movies and TV shows in his previous life, and he wanted to use Harry's fame to help himself make a big splash in the magic world.
Finally, he didn't want to make his wife Mia sad.
Mia and Lily had a very good relationship, and she really regarded Lily's children as her own descendants.
Mia always missed Harry. Every year when Harry's birthday was approaching, she would personally select some Muggle toys and write birthday messages.
Now that she finally saw this child, how could she not be excited?
Harry was so confused now. He didn't know what happened. He could only ask himself three questions in his mind.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Harry was strangled and couldn't breathe. He spoke with difficulty: "Hello, I don't seem to know you!"
Hearing Harry's question, Mia let go of Harry. Just as she was about to explain something, Sebastian's voice came from the side.
"Actually, we have known each other for a long time. Do you remember the birthday gifts you received since you were 5 years old?"
"In each gift, there will be a birthday message written by us."
Birthday gift?
Harry immediately became energetic. What he looked forward to most every year was the birthday gift!
Although compared with Dudley's birthday gift, the number was very small, only 4.
But every time he saw the birthday message in the gift, he would feel very warm and felt that he was loved.
Thinking of the source of the gift, he hesitated and opened his mouth: "But, those gifts..."
"Aren't those gifts sent by Uncle Vernon's company, the orphan care project?"
"Every year, it's a different staff member. I have seen them all?!"
Hearing this, Sebastian was also a little helpless.
Because of his promise to Dumbledore, Sebastian couldn't personally deliver the gift.
Therefore, he needed a very sufficient and very legitimate reason!
So, when Harry was 5 years old, he acquired a large number of shares in the Grunning Company and became a member of the board of directors of the company where Dursley worked.
After that, he set up a charity fund in the company in the name of caring for orphans.
As long as a company member adopts an orphan, he can receive a thousand pounds of company rewards every month.
Moreover, on the birthdays of those children, there will be company personnel who will personally come to the door to bring birthday gifts to those children and send birthday wishes.
"Remember the last signature of the message? There are Mr. White, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Prince and the Swan couple."
Hearing this, Harry's eyes became unusually bright, and he understood it all at once.
Damn!
Why didn't I think that Mr. Swan and Mrs. Swan were the swan couple who gave him gifts?
He raised his head and looked at Mrs. Swan with tears in her eyes, and suddenly felt very kind.
Harry's nose became a little sour: "Mrs. Swan..."
He was about to say something when Mia hugged him in her arms again.
"Don't call me Mrs. Swan, just call me Mia from now on!"
"Mia?!" A short call sounded, and Penny finally knew who was in front of her.
This woman was invited by Lily to visit her home when she was a child.
No wonder she looked so familiar!
She stood up suddenly, with an unbelievable look on her face.
"You are Lily's friend, the witch!"
"You finally remembered, Penny! I'm here to pick up Harry today! He needs to receive magical education!"
Mom's friend?
Witch?
Receive magical education!
Under the impact of this information, Harry's head was dizzy.
Could it be that he was also a wizard?
"No!" Penny screamed sharply, "I absolutely don't allow it! Harry can't go to that damn place and let a bunch of weirdos teach him."
Vernon then realized that the two people in front of him were wizards, just like Penny's sister.
Damn!
There's a wizard in the house!
I have always avoided dealing with these messy people.
He quickly ran to Penny and protected her behind him, and he roared with a red face.
"You are not welcome here, please get out now!"
"Don't even think about taking Harry away, he can't go anywhere! He can only stay in this house!"
Sebastian motioned Mia to take Harry away and pack up first.
Then he crossed his fingers and looked at Vernon with a smile, which seemed very oppressive.
"Mr. Vernon, we will definitely take Harry away today!"
"I said it!"
How could he be so arrogant?
Vernon's face suddenly became redder, he was panting, his chest was heaving violently, and he became even more furious.
"You should know that because of Harry, you can get an extra thousand pounds every month. I want to ask you, is this money good?"
"That's in accordance with the procedures!" Vernon tried his best to suppress his anger, fearing that he would yell accidentally, "That's the company's project, I applied for it through formal procedures." "
Really?" Sebastian's mouth curled up slightly, "You are very naive, Mr. Dursley!"
"You have been struggling in society for so many years, haven't you heard that many times, there are carrots before there are pits?"
"The reason why the company established this project is because of Harry!"
"You can get extra subsidies every month, it's also because of Harry!"
"Even you can meet and talk with members of the company's board of directors, it's because of Harry!"
Every time Sebastian said a word, Vernon's face turned a little paler, and he looked stunned.
Harry is so important?
The man in front of him actually has such great power that he can create a project specifically for Harry.
Thinking of this, Vernon's anger completely disappeared, leaving only fear in his heart.
He finally realized that this man was not only a wizard, but also a member of the company's board of directors.
With this identity, he can make me lose my job with just one word.
I still have a big family to support, Petunia is unemployed, and Dudley is going to Smeltings High School soon, all of which require money!
This despicable wizard must have relied on evil magic to become a member of the board of directors.
What should I do?
Vernon felt so depressed!
Should he bow to this evil guy for a living?
"Mr. Dursley,"
Sebastian leaned back in his chair with a nonchalant look.
"I don't mean any harm."
"After checking your resume, I originally planned to give you a promotion and a raise, and let you move up one level and become the manager of your department."
"But your attitude really makes it difficult for me!"
Promotion and raise?
Manager?
Vernon's eyes lit up.
This is not the oppression of an evil wizard!
This is completely the company's board of directors' discerning eye!
His face was full of smiles again, and he cautiously tried to say, "I think it's not impossible for you to take Harry away."
"It's just that Petunia, as an aunt, is a little reluctant."
Thinking of Petunia's situation, he sighed deeply.
"When I brought Harry into this family, Petunia and I swore to keep him away from that terrifying world."
Vernon glanced at his wife, hugged her in his arms, and said hesitantly.
"Petunia...Petunia is actually worried about Harry's safety."
"You take Harry away, I will talk to Petunia."
"Mr. Dursley," Sebastian smiled, "The place where Harry is going to study is called Hogwarts."
"It's the safest place in the entire wizarding world!"
"Don't worry Petunia, Harry will come back to see you every summer vacation."
"Also, I keep my word, you can think about your work plan after being promoted to manager."
The smile on Vernon's face was completely released, and he quickly took out the content of the previous rehearsal and talked to Sebastian.
...
When Harry packed up and came down, he saw a happy scene.
Without thinking too much, he happily said hello to his uncle and aunt, and followed Mia and Sebastian out.
As soon as he went out, Sebastian keenly discovered a familiar figure hiding behind a big tree.
In the dim night, almost no one could find him.
Sebastian's mouth corners were getting bigger and bigger, and he looked very happy.
Didn't this arrogant monster firmly tell himself that he would not come?
Haha!
Together with Mia, he took Harry down the street.
After completely passing the big tree, he grabbed Mia and Harry and whispered.
"Apparition!"
Harry lay on the strange big bed, recalling the uncomfortable feeling of being crushed just now, and his heart was full of novelty.
So interesting!
Is this magic?
He closed his eyes, smiled and said to himself.
"I love magic!"
