Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

At Hogwarts, young wizards from Muggle families do indeed need the consent of their guardians to enroll.

Muggles are simply ordinary people who don't know magic.

Isaac slowly explained the meaning of "Muggle" to Vernon, and seeing Vernon's slightly victorious smile, Isaac then began to explain further.

"But he was just an ordinary little wizard, Mr. Dursley."

Harry Potter is no ordinary name in the wizarding world.

Shortly after his birth, the entire British magical community whispered his name—Harry Potter.

You don't need to know exactly what he did; you just need to know that Mr. Potter's existence is of great interest to the entire British wizarding community.

Everyone knows that Harry Potter will be enrolling at Hogwarts this year.

"The Hogwarts messengers, I mean those owls, may have caused you some minor trouble..."

Vernon was about to retort loudly in anger, but Isaac stopped him with a look.

Then Isaac said to him earnestly, “Believe me, those wizards… I mean, Mrs. Dursley’s sister’s kind, they can cause far more trouble than owls.”

I believe you can relate to this deeply.

Vernon Dursley was furious, but he noticed his wife's expression. Years of marriage made Vernon realize that Penny was affirming Isaac's words.

Vernon shielded Penny behind him, panting heavily: "So are you threatening us?"

Okay, I admit it...

Just as Vernon was about to admit that Isaac's threat was effective and wanted to "kick Harry out," Isaac gently raised his hand to stop Vernon from speaking further.

“Mr. Dursley, what I just said was what you and your wife knew. Now I’ll tell you something you don’t know.”

In the magical world, wizards are classified into three types based on their origin: pure-blood wizards, half-blood wizards, and Muggle-born wizards.

Leaving aside the first two, let's focus on the latter.

Some wizards have done statistics showing that if a Muggle family has a wizard in their ancestry, the probability of their descendants becoming wizards increases.

Furthermore, I think Mrs. Dursley is aware that two Muggles can father a wizard.

Penny Dursley nodded with a grim expression, as if she had just thought of something.

“Very well, based on the consensus we reached above, Harry’s mother, Lily Evans Potter, is a wizard.”

So, Ms. Penny Evans Dursley, are you so convinced that your future child, or even Mr. Dursley Jr.'s future child, won't be a wizard?

“Don’t get agitated, Mr. Dursley, I know what you’re trying to say.” Isaac glanced at Vernon and saw what he was about to say.

"If magical talent were simply a gift of fate, the professors at Hogwarts wouldn't have gone to such lengths to persuade Muggle families to allow their children to study at Hogwarts."

In fact, young wizards with wizarding talent can cause even greater trouble if they are not properly trained and guided.

I think you've already experienced this firsthand.

Vernon knew this all too well; any one of the strange things that had happened to Harry Potter over the years could have exhausted him.

If any of his descendants possessed the same talent as Harry Potter, he would rather they suppress that damned "talent" than show it.

Just as Vernon was thinking this, Isaac, who was standing to the side, said quietly, "If this talent is forcibly suppressed by external forces, it will turn into an even bigger problem."

The Obscurus is a parasitic dark energy entity created by a young wizard due to the long-term suppression of his magical talent.

Such wizards are generally called the Silent Ones.

The Silent Ones are almost never more than ten years old.

Oh no, I've gone from being one-track-minded to having two blocked ends!

Chapter 51 The Good and Bad News of the Dursleys

Vernon was so embarrassed by his own words that his face turned red, and his gaze toward Isaac carried a hint of barely perceptible fear and unease.

He knew that Harry Potter's freakish peers were definitely not that simple!

This kid can read minds!

Isaac shook his head regretfully: "Mr. Dursley, although I would love to learn Legilimency, the spell used in the magical world to read minds."

However, my learning progress is not yet at the level where I can learn it.

So please rest assured, I cannot read minds.

I see. Vernon's heart, which had been pounding, eased a little... and then came a violent coughing fit.

"Cough cough cough cough!!" Vernon looked like he was about to cough up his lungs.

Damn it, you still say you can't read minds, but I clearly didn't say what I just said!

Isaac gave Vernon a perfectly timed "Mr. Dursley, why aren't you saying anything?" look.

In conjunction with Vernon's inner thoughts, it has a somewhat contrived sense of trying to cover something up.

Isaac ignored Vernon's resentful look and pointed to Harry Potter, who was watching the show with amusement.

"Now, please allow me to introduce the family behind Mr. Harry Potter—the Potter family."

To put it simply, the Porter family's business can be compared to a pharmaceutical giant in Muggle society.

And Mr. Potter is the sole heir to the Potter family fortune.

Yes, the Potter family's businesses are not the fast-moving consumer goods companies of the magical world that people might imagine.

Their ancestor was a potions master who invented the earliest versions of Bone Regenerator and Energy Elixir, directly bringing the Potter family their first fortune.

Then, Harry's grandfather was also a Potions Master, and he invented the well-known and best-selling shampoo in the wizarding world: Quick Smooth Shampoo.

Note that the Potter family's Quick Smooth Hair Potion is not an everyday item, but a magical potion.

Therefore, the Porter family's company should be classified as a pharmaceutical company, not a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company.

Isaac's analogy was very accurate; after hearing his description, Vernon immediately thought of the pharmaceutical giants he knew.

It's hard to imagine that Harry Potter, the troublesome guy he can't stand in everyday life, actually has such a background in the magical world.

Vernon is a sales manager, so Isaac doesn't need to explain things too clearly.

Vernon understood perfectly what he meant: if one day a wizard were to emerge from his and Penny's offspring, who would they be able to rely on?

Putting aside their reliance on others, if their descendants get into trouble in the wizarding world, those two Muggles wouldn't even know which direction to kowtow to or who to kowtow to.

They couldn't even find the entrance to the magical world on their own.

Petunia Dursley was all too aware of the Muggles' powerlessness over the wizarding world. She had written to Hogwarts countless times, only to be met with the same rejection each time.

Now their nephew has become the sole heir to a family that controls a pharmaceutical giant in the magical world.

This is good news.

Good news is always accompanied by bad news.

The bad news is that this nephew grew up under their abuse.

Hey, life's circumstances are sometimes just so wonderful.

Harry Potter's little eyes darted around and around.

Isaac dared to bet 100 Galleons; that kid must be up to no good.

Vernon and Penny's eyes darted around frantically, and they kept exchanging glances. Their son, Dudley, looked at his parents, who were bewildered by their strange behavior, with a puzzled expression.

No, what are you all staring at? Say something!

Vernon remained silent, but Isaac spoke up. He hadn't forgotten the main purpose of his and Professor Venda's visit.

"Well then, if you don't mind, Mr. Dursley, I'll take Mr. Potter with me to do some pre-school tutoring and to introduce him to the magical world."

We'll bring Mr. Potter back tonight.

Vernon Dursley didn't say anything more, but he tacitly agreed that Harry could leave with Isaac and the others.

Isaac understood Vernon's tacit approval as an adult and waved to Harry, who had been eagerly anticipating the meeting.

As the three of them reached the door of the cabin, Isaac suddenly turned around.

"Mr. Dursley, you can go home now. After Mr. Potter leaves with us, there will be no more Hogwarts messengers in your house."

Of course, if another messenger were to appear, I think it would most likely be going to see Mr. Potter.

It's going to pour rain here tonight, and I bet you don't want to experience the beauty of nature here.

"Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Dursley. Oh, and our little Mr. Dursley too."

Isaac nodded to the group and then stepped out of the rock hut.

Penny Dursley instinctively took a few steps forward, intending to politely see Isaac and the others off.

Perhaps she was more interested in knowing how the wizard left this rocky island surrounded by the sea.

A magic broom? Apparition?

At this moment, she probably thought of her younger sister, Lily, who would tell her interesting stories about the wizarding world every holiday when Lily was studying at Hogwarts.

After leaving the rocky cabin, or more precisely, after leaving the Dursleys' sight, Harry became noticeably more lively.

He subconsciously began to look around, only to find that there were no other means of transportation on the rocky shore except for the small, dilapidated boat that had taken them to the island.
