Chapter 433 431 Control the Situation
Chapter 433 431. Control the situation
Vernon looked at the boy in front of him who looked only seven or eight years old, and couldn't help but pull up his fat face.
"If you are a prank, I promise I will catch you and take you to your parents."
Jon pulled out his wand helplessly. Sometimes his appearance is the best cover, but at the same time, there are many inconveniences.
In Vernon's eyes, he just saw the boy in front of him took out a small wooden stick from his sleeve, and then he slid to the side as if he was out of control, making way for the door.
Jon walked into the living room of the Dursleys' house, and saw that the sausage was half eaten secretly, staring at Jon with a shocked look on his face, and he didn't know what kind of witchcraft he used to move his father, who weighed nearly 300 pounds, to the side.
After Vernon was stunned for two seconds, his face turned red and he screamed.
"What did you just do! Who let you into my house! Get out!"
Jon ignored him. The current situation of the Dursleys was different from that in the original book. Because something happened and they didn't adopt Harry, Vernon and Dudley didn't know about magic or the existence of wizards. Even the memories of meeting the Potters were basically tampered with and deleted for protection.
And the only person in this family who knew about magic was Petunia.
So, after Jon entered the living room, he shouted directly.
"Excuse me, is Petunia here?"
Petunia, who was busy in the kitchen, of course heard the noise outside. She was still wearing an apron. While wiping her wet hands on the apron, she hurried out of the kitchen.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
She saw Dudley, who was holding a half-remaining sausage in front of the dining table and just reacted from his daze.
"Mom! Mom! He just did that, and then like that, and Dad flew to the side! Yes, he used the small wooden stick in his hand! That wooden stick!"
Vernon didn't say anything, his face was livid, and he had heard from Jon's shouting that he knew Petunia.
When Petunia heard Dudley's description and saw the small wooden stick in Jon's hand, her face lost all color!
Her eyes showed a horrified expression, and she subconsciously blocked Dudley behind her!
"My sister and I have no contact! We have no contact with those people! Please! We are just ordinary people! My husband and son don't even know the existence of that world!"
Vernon saw Petunia's panic at this time. Although he didn't know what his wife was afraid of, he pulled out a baseball bat from the cupboard next to him and threatened Jon viciously.
"Get out! Do you hear me? I don't care who you are! You are not welcome here!"
"No! No! Don't, Vernon!" Petunia seemed to be crying in fear, "Don't do this, they are not afraid of what you have in your hands, they are not even afraid of guns!"
Jon looked at this chaotic scene and shrugged speechlessly.
He obviously saw that Petunia thought he was from the British Ministry of Magic.
Penny Evans, as Lily's biological sister, was naturally a member of Voldemort's side. When the British Ministry of Magic was completely controlled by Voldemort, the Order of the Phoenix made proper arrangements for the families of its members. Those who were willing to leave the UK were transferred to some safe places in Northern Europe, and those who were unwilling to leave were completely cut off from their families. Some even had their memories modified and cleared, and they changed their identities in the UK and separated from the magic world and continued to live.
And Penny obviously belongs to the second case. At that time, she had married into the Dursley family and had Dudley. In addition, she was not a wizard, and the only channel for communication with the magic world was her. The relationship with her sister was not very good, so the Dursleys did not accept the arrangement of the Order of the Phoenix to move them to Northern Europe, but stayed in the UK.
Penny was the only one in the family who had memories of her witch sister and the magic world.
Whether it was the period when Voldemort had complete control over Britain two years ago, or the war between Dumbledore and Voldemort now, the Dursleys were not affected, which made Penny almost forget the danger from another world.
Until today, Jon suddenly found this place. The information about wizards in his mind was still that the Death Eaters crushed the Order of the Phoenix, and the whole of Britain was Voldemort's world. The first thing Penny could think of was that the relationship between her and Lily was exposed, and Jon was naturally Voldemort's man!
"Calm down, Mrs. Dursley. If I'm really the group you imagined, there's no need to say all this nonsense as soon as I entered the door. They are all superior people who will feel insulted when they hear your voices."
Jon pulled out a chair from the side and sat down. He came here to replace Lily and to help her confirm some of her speculations about what Snape would do next, so he might have to stay in this living room for a while.
Penny did see that Jon obviously had no ill intentions, and her face, which was flushed due to nervousness, gradually calmed down.
According to her understanding of those people, if Jon really came to arrest their family, he would have taken action as soon as he entered the door, and would not have said anything more. As long as they were caught, the magic world had plenty of means to extract information from their mouths and minds.
Of course, they didn't actually have any information. The only purpose of the Dursleys was to be used as hostages to threaten Lily. In addition, because Lily had always been treated specially by Voldemort because of Snape, no one had ever thought that she had a sister in the past ten years.
Since Jon was not Voldemort's man, he could only find this place because of another party.
Penny stared at Jon's face, as if she wanted to see something from Jon's face.
"Did my sister ask you to come here? She found another man?"
Hearing her second question, Jon was stunned at first, and then he figured out what Penny was thinking about at this time.
"I am Professor Potter's student, not what you think." Jon said speechlessly, "Aren't you eating? Don't worry about me. We can talk about some things while eating."
Penny didn't relax because of Jon's words. She stared at Jon's face and said with a gloomy face.
"Then why did you come to us? You are about to be killed by that man. Lily had no choice but to let you come to my house and let us protect you?"
Jon lost his patience. He could understand Penny's idea of protecting her family from any dangerous things, but at least he had to understand everything clearly before making a conclusion. Moreover, Lily would never do such a thing that the Order of the Phoenix would be wiped out and the danger would spread to her sister.
He raised the wand in his hand, and the tip of the wand lit up with a red light, and at the same time, the golden flames lit up in his eyes.
"Let's sit down and talk, okay, Mrs. Dursley and Mr. Dursley who wants to swing a baseball bat to hit my head, I'm not here to cause you trouble, but to help you solve the trouble, so please don't test my patience."
As he spoke, the bat in Vernon's hand instantly flew out of his hand and flew into the air, no longer under his control, and Penny was forced to sit at the dining table as if she was pressed on the chair by some force.
Jon actually understood why Lily didn't want to come here by herself. If she came to this house, the situation would only get worse. It is estimated that Penny would desperately want to drive her out of the house at the first sight of her, and there would be no peaceful communication.
Vernon was extremely angry at Jon's method. He heard that his wife was resisting Jon. Even if the baseball fell out of her hand, she did not give up the resistance, but rushed to the phone and shouted threateningly.
"I don't care who you are! Who sent you! Get out! Get out of my house now! Or I'll call the police, kid!"
"Lock the tongue and seal the throat."
Jon pointed his wand directly at Vernon, and the next moment, Vernon's tongue stuck to his palate. He couldn't shout except for covering his mouth with a red face and making a whimpering sound.
Penny was stunned by the scene in front of her. She had already determined that since Jon was on Dumbledore's side, and he looked so young, he would definitely not cast spells on Muggles casually, but now it was completely beyond her expectations.
Just when she was about to scream, Jon had already pointed the tip of his wand at her again.
"Of course I can give you one, ma'am, if you are not calm enough."
Penny shut up, and quickly hugged Dudley's head, who was slow to react and wanted to scream but had no time to open his mouth, so that he could avoid becoming a tragedy like his father.
"The world is finally quiet."
Jon let out a long sigh. He didn't care whether Penny was in the mood to listen to him or not, and he spoke directly.
"Now you can finally listen to me seriously, right? The magic world is not as you thought. The Dark Lord still has the upper hand. In the past year, he suffered a major defeat in the process of swallowing the French magic world. Not only did he fail to occupy France, but now it has become our base. In the recent wizard competition, he also lost Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You know this school, so you should understand what this means. In other words, we have gotten rid of the exile situation before, and we are fighting against the Dark Lord or we can say that we have a considerable advantage."
After briefly describing the current situation, whether Penny believed it or not was another matter. Jon continued.
"That is, recently, we not only took back Hogwarts, but also captured one of the top lackeys of the Dark Lord, who is also your acquaintance, Severus Snape. You should still remember this name."
Obviously, Penny's pupils shrank after hearing this name.
"We caught him, but he was very cunning. He escaped from France with the help of an old man who did not want to reveal his name. Now he is in England but cannot go back to his original master. He also knew that Professor Potter and I came to England to hunt him down, so the professor thought that he would most likely do something to you next. Among all the wizards in England, he knows Professor Potter's situation best, and he also knows you. It is not difficult to find you as long as he wants to find you. So just in case, the professor asked me to come to your house first, explain the situation to you clearly, and try to wait and see. In the end, even if Snape does not come, for safety reasons, you have to move away from here for a while."
At this point, Jon paused, and waved his wand in the horrified eyes of Penny and Dudley. The next second, the kettle on the table flew up by itself, poured a cup of tea into the cup, and then flew into Jon's hands.
After saying such a long paragraph, Jon, who was a little dry in the mouth, drank the cup of tea that he, the guest, treated himself.
"Do you understand what I mean? If you can, nod your head."
Penny nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, but she didn't dare to make a sound without Jon's permission.
Seeing her performance, Jon turned his head to look at Vernon who couldn't separate his tongue from his palate no matter how hard he tried.
"What about you, Mr. Dursley? If you can promise not to shout anymore, then I will help you remove the magic on you. Of course, if your performance later proves that you can't, then I can also help you shut up forever."
Jon also showed an evil smile on his face when he said this, which was obviously a threat.
But Vernon couldn't take this sentence as a threat, and he didn't dare to take it as a threat. He could only nod his head repeatedly like Petunia.
Jon also kept his promise and removed the spell on him. Vernon looked at Jon's violent panting in fear, and then ran to his wife and son and protected them in his arms.
His actions made Jon feel like a big villain.
But he didn't care. The Dursleys obviously had a low level of acceptance of special events, especially when Petunia herself had some conflicts with wizards and magic, which made it even more impossible for them to have any rational mentality to communicate with John, a wizard.
Therefore, John had thought of this possibility before he came. If they couldn't communicate peacefully, even if it was intimidation, it would be better than them being foolishly used as tools by Snape, and maybe even thrown to Voldemort later.
As for their impression of him, John didn't care at all.
"You can talk now, so what do you think now, Mrs. Dursley?"
