"Are you saying that Snape might come to see us later?"
This was the first thing Petunia said. Her voice was trembling, and she was obviously very scared of what Jon said.
It is precisely because of this that Jon also saw that Petunia should be fully aware of Snape's status among the Death Eaters, otherwise she would not have such a strong fear of this "snot-nosed man" whom she has known since childhood.
.
But what makes Jon happy is that they can finally communicate effectively, so that he doesn't have to waste any more words.
"There is only a possibility, Mrs. Dursley, and this possibility is very small. It is more likely that he will use some other methods to lure you into taking the bait."
"So... what will be the solution?" Petunia asked tremblingly.
Jon shook his head.
"I don't know about this. After all, I'm not Snape. But I can only wait for this whole afternoon at most. If nothing happens by the time the sun goes down, it means that his target is not you. If you encounter something like that
situation, I will ask for your opinion on what to do next, whether to continue taking risks and stay here, or to temporarily follow me to France to avoid being separated."
Vernon couldn't help but scream at this time.
"Why go to France! We will definitely not leave our home! No matter who comes, the guy named Snape or someone else, at worst we will call the police and let the police know all this! Are you right?
Penny!"
However, Petunia did not respond to Vernon's question. She still stared at Jon closely and continued to ask.
"What is the worst-case scenario if we choose to stay in the UK?"
Jon analyzed it for him seriously.
"The worst-case scenario is that Snape has a bad opinion of you. After he uses you, he will directly pass the information about your relationship with Lily to the British Ministry of Magic, and then the Dark Lord will most likely
Send someone to arrest your family, and then either use you to threaten Professor Potter, or control your body and actions, and then I guess you can imagine that, regardless of whether you played a role or not, the end will be miserable.
"
"This should not have happened to you." Jon said bluntly, which was what Professor Potter asked him to help convey. "If it weren't for Professor Potter, your family would have lived an ordinary and peaceful life.
But just because she has a sister like her, she has dragged you into a dangerous whirlpool, so she has the obligation to ensure your safety. This is why I came here, but in the end, this matter
The power of choice is in your hands. In the end, whether you agree to come with me or not depends on your own decision."
"Dudley still has to go to class." Vernon said with a blush. He didn't dare to look at Jon and could only persuade Petunia, "Don't be frightened by his nonsense, Petunia, we
We still have to live a normal life, and it’s impossible for the whole family to move to France for no reason!”
Petunia still didn't look at Vernon, she continued to ask Jon.
"In other words, Dumbledore will start a war with that man in England next, right?"
"That's for sure, we will not give up on taking back Britain."
Penny's attitude became firm.
"We'll go with you, whether Snape comes today or not!"
Vernon looked at his wife in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand that she had actually made this decision, and Dudley looked even more reluctant.
"I still want to participate in a fighting competition! If I leave, I won't have a chance to win the championship!"
Petunia did not comfort her precious son as nicely as before, she just said to Vernon without blinking.
"Believe me, Vernon! Those people are not something normal people can deal with! If you fall into their hands, it's not just as simple as death!"
Normally, Vernon makes the decision in this family, but if Petunia firmly confirms something, Vernon, as her husband, will no longer object.
Man is really a very complex creature. A filial son like Barty Jr. who killed his father and mother can be absolutely loyal to Voldemort. A profit-seeking and evil-doing Death Eater like Lucius can give up everything for his family, even if he is...
Nong, an ordinary middle-aged man with all kinds of shortcomings, can still be fearless in protecting his family.
So sometimes it is absolutely wrong to look at people with stereotypes. You cannot deny everything about a bad person, nor can you affirm everything about a good person.
When both Vernon and Petunia agreed to the decision, it was useless no matter how much Dudley objected. It was a kind of doting to protect his safety, not to mention that Jon, who had just scared him, was still there.
beside.
Things progressed smoothly after that. Jon stayed at the Dursley's house. He sat in the living room and flipped through the magazines that had been placed on the coffee table.
The Dursleys finally finished their lunch in a strange atmosphere. After Petunia put everything away in the kitchen, she looked at Jon, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"There's no need to be so unfamiliar, Madam. Professor Potter usually takes good care of me, so I don't actually have much hostility towards you. I also want to apologize for the unpleasantness when I first came in, although the fundamental purpose is to calm you down."
Listen to me, but no matter how you explain it, I am just a bad guest who suddenly broke into your home, so if you have anything to ask, just say it."
Jon's words really made Penny put down a lot of her anxiety, because Jon's behavior when he first entered the door was really not like Dumbledore's side, and he had a decisiveness in killing that the Order of the Phoenix and his party did not have.
But in fact, Jon was not like this originally. It was just that he had been with Lily for the past two days, and he couldn't help but get some of his habits.
"I just want to know..." The expression on Petunia's face was a little complicated, "How has Lily... been living these years?"
After all, she is still her biological sister. When Penny encounters danger, she must first ensure that her current family is not harmed, and then she will not be so indifferent to her sister.
Jon could guess what she wanted to ask before she spoke.
"Actually, if you think about it, you will know that her life is actually quite ordinary. We can always see Professor Potter alone in school. In fact, if you want to maintain some relationship with her, I suggest you
You can talk to her more later, after all, no matter what, you were once a family."
