Hogwarts snake in the mist

"crunch"

The sound of the door being pushed immediately interrupted the conversation between Harry and Eric. As soon as Harry looked around, he saw the rough edge of an old pillowcase flashing past the door, and then quickly disappeared.

"Oh Dobby, come back!" Harry whispered in horror and rushed out the door.Uncle Vernon had told him to stay upstairs and not come down.Now Dobby's actions put him in a dilemma, and Harry had to go downstairs and carefully hide at the stairs to watch Dobby.

Dobby saw the giant violet pudding Penny had made specially for the Masons on the kitchen table, and he smiled evilly.

"No, Dobby, please, they're going to kill me," Harry begged softly.

"Mr. Harry Potter must swear not to return to Hogwarts."

"That's impossible"

"Then Dobby has no choice but to do this, sir. This is for your own good."

There was a loud noise, and the pudding and plate fell to the ground and shattered. The pudding scum splashed all over Harry. Pudding was everywhere in the kitchen. Fortunately, Eric was behind Harry and was not affected.

Vernon rushed into the kitchen and saw Harry standing there blankly and Eric who didn't know what was going on. "What the hell are you and your weirdo friends doing?" he said through gritted teeth.

At first, Uncle Vernon was still trying to cover up the matter. "Our nephew may not be very good in his mind. His friends came to see him today. He may be a little too excited." Then he glared at them both fiercely and handed each of them to them. A mop.

Eric and Harry started cleaning the kitchen, Petunia took some ice cream from the refrigerator, Vernon comforted the frightened Masons, and everything seemed to be returning to normal again.

If not for that owl.

Within a few minutes, an owl flew in, dropped a letter on Mrs. Mason's head, and flew away.

Mrs. Mason let out a scream and ran out calling the madman.Mr. Mason angrily asked them if it was a joke that his wife was afraid of all kinds of birds, and left.

Uncle Vernon grabbed the letter, strode to the kitchen, and threw the letter over Harry's head, who was holding the mop tightly.

"Read, read this letter." His face began to turn purple again.

When Harry opened the letter, there was no birthday greeting.The content is very simple, it is a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic:

Mr. Porter:

We have received reports that you used a hovering spell at your residence at [-]:[-] tonight.

You know that underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school. If you continue to engage in such behavior, you may be expelled from the school. Act on the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards, [-], Section [-].

Please also remember that according to Section 13 of the International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy, any magical activity that may attract the attention of Muggles who are not members of the wizarding community is a serious offense.

Have a happy summer

"You never told us that you couldn't use magic outside of school." Uncle Vernon's eyes flashed sinisterly, "You must have forgotten."

"But Mr. Dursley, I think you seem to have forgotten me. I am from a pure-blood family, and underage people cannot use magic. It has no effect on me." Eric's voice interrupted the current scene at an inappropriate time.

"What?" Vernon and Harry both looked at Eric in surprise.Harry had never heard of pure-blood families having such privileges.

In fact, whether minors can use magic outside of school has nothing to do with whether they are from a pure-blood family. Eric only said this to calm Vernon first.

Probably because he had lied too much, Eric's determined expression made neither of them see any flaws, and instead believed him to be true.

"If sir, you are going to do something to Harry so that he cannot return to school, I don't mind doing something." Eric took out his wand.

"You are nosy," Uncle Vernon's voice trembled slightly, not sure if it was because of fear or anger.

"Harry is my friend, but if you and Harry get along well, I won't embarrass you sir."

"Of course Harry and I will get along well." Vernon pulled the thin Harry over and patted his shoulder hard with his big hand, forcing a smile on Vernon's face.

"In that case, I'll be relieved." Harry winked at Eric crazily, but he turned a blind eye. "To express my apology just now, I have specially prepared a gift for you."

Eric took out the Lao Gan Ma that he had added. "This seasoning is extremely delicious. It is best to store it for three or four days before eating it for the best effect." Vernon took it and opened the lid, and the aroma filled the air.

Dudley came over smelling the smell and originally wanted to eat it, but Uncle Vernon heard Eric say that it would be kept for another three or four days and quickly closed the lid.

"Then I'll leave first, Harry. See you at school." Eric smiled and waved goodbye to Harry and left No. 4 Privet Drive.

As soon as Eric walked away, Vernon immediately picked up Harry by the collar and dragged him upstairs.

"I'm going to lock you up. Don't even want to go to that school. If you dare to cast a spell to escape, they will expel you."

Uncle Vernon was true to his word, and that night, Harry's window was barred with iron bars, and the door was locked with several locks, leaving only a trap door underneath to deliver some food inside.

They only let Harry out to use the toilet in the morning and evening, and kept him in his room the rest of the time.There was always someone watching, and Harry couldn't find a chance to escape.

Harry lay on the bed wrapped in quilt and began to think wildly.

If four weeks go by and I'm not at Hogwarts when term starts, will they come looking for me?

And why doesn’t Eric know how to look at me? It’s impossible that he doesn’t know what kind of people the Dursleys are. Why would he trust Uncle Vernon and even give them a can of Old Godmother?

At this moment, Eric was sitting at his desk preparing the last dose of white fresh potion.The old godmother he gave to the Dursley family was filled with perfect quality life and death water.

Water of Life and Death has a powerful sleeping effect, and it takes three or four days after adding it for the medicinal effects to be well integrated with Lao Ganma.

The water of life and death was made by Eric in order to relax and find the feel when he was mixing the white fresh potion.

Half of the summer vacation has passed, and Eric has half overcome the problem of white fresh potion.Although it still cannot achieve perfect quality, ordinary quality can already achieve it.

His plan was to let the Dursleys eat the old godmother mixed with life and death water first, and then rescue the locked Harry while they were asleep.Needless to say, Harry would definitely be put under house arrest by Vernon.

If Vernon really did as Eric asked and got along well with Harry, that would be hell.
