Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 176, Section 174: Lily Dursley

Dali cooks a different dish every day, from braised chicken with sweat to chicken soup and stewed pork ribs, always prioritizing nutrition.

In fact, with Dali's financial resources, he could have easily hired a professional cook, but a professional cook is not as reliable or delicious as cooking at home.

In just two short weeks, thanks to Daddy's full-fledged feeding, Penny has gained weight and finally looks a bit like a pregnant woman.

Otherwise, people would think Vernon was abusing her.

Outside the operating room, the three sat nervously in their seats. Vernon, like a child, kept pacing back and forth at the door, asking Dudley almost every minute, "Is everything alright?"

His chubby, round face was filled with deep worry and concern.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Dudley patted Vernon on the shoulder like an adult to comfort him.

You're standing in front of two wizards. They may not have potions for direct childbirth, but they have countless other recovery potions, so they have a way to deal with any situation.

Finally, half an hour later...

With a strong, loud cry, Penny finally gave birth smoothly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Dursley (referring to Vernon), your wife has given birth to a baby girl."

The nurse's blessing finally put Vernon's mind at ease.

It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as Penny is okay.

Vernon was eager to go in and see his wife and child, but was stopped by the nurses at the door. They told him that the pregnant woman needed to rest and the baby needed to be cleaned before being put in the nursery. Newborn babies are really fragile, and the hospital needed to observe them for a while.

So Vernon started spinning around again.

Perhaps only in this way can he calm his mind.

The Grangers and Hermione arrived at that moment with some supplies, including nutritional supplements and fruit.

After a while, the nurses told Vernon that he could go see Penny, but not too noisy. I don't know if he heard them or not, but he rushed to the ward like the wind.

Penny lay weakly in the hospital bed, but her appearance suggested she was otherwise alright.

Dali and his friends were able to see their sister as they had hoped.

Its body was wrinkled, its face and eyes were a little swollen, and it was curled up with its little fists clenched tightly. It looked very weak and a bit like a skinny little monkey.

The important thing is her eyes; she didn't inherit Vernon's blue eyes, but rather Penny's green eyes.

To be precise, its color is more like Harry's. No, it's even greener than him.

"She looks a lot like Lily," Penny said softly, leaning against the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping baby in the cradle with a loving expression.

With red hair and green eyes, she is exactly the same as the former Lily, seemingly inheriting the genes of the previous generation of the Evans family.

This was the first time Dudley had heard Penny address Aunt Lily in such a natural tone, with such deep longing in her voice.

"What's the child's name?" Mrs. Granger asked.

Vernon and Penny exchanged a glance. They had already decided on a name; if it was a girl, they would call her...

"Let's call her Lily, Lily Dursley," Penny said, her eyes fixed on her daughter.

This is a common practice in many places where people name their children after their deceased relatives or friends as a way of commemorating them.

For example, according to the original storyline, Harry's children are named Albus Severus Potter and James Sirius Potter.

"Lily Dursley, a very nice name."

There was no unexpected name. Dudley looked at the sleeping little Lily and said softly, "I think Professor Snape would like her."

"Severus?"

Upon hearing Dudley mention Snape, an old acquaintance from their former neighborhood, Petunia unconsciously remarked, "If possible, I hope he can become little Lily's godfather. I remember Lily mentioning it before; wizards all like that, of course, if little Lily has magical talent and he's willing."

"Of course," Dudley said meaningfully. "I think Professor Snape would be very happy to be little Lily's godfather."

He had already imagined what it would be like for little Lily to go to school eleven years from now.

"Lily, please answer this potion question."

If the answer is correct.

"Very good, Lily gets ten points."

If Little Lily says she doesn't know.

"Honesty, Lily gets ten points."

"."

That scene must be very interesting.

If everyone survives.

Hermione lay on the edge of the baby cradle, her gaze fixed on little Lily, lost in thought. No one knew what she was thinking about, but a blush crept up from her neck to behind her ears.

Like a ripe little apple, it makes you want to take a bite.

A week later, Dudley, Harry, and Hermione left No. 4 Privet Drive, as agreed beforehand.

Because of Lily's illness, it has already been delayed by an extra week.

However, Dali had already made arrangements before leaving.

He arranged for Vernon and the others to stay in a villa not far from the Grangers' house. It was a temporary residence that Dudley had bought in his spare time. He also hired several professional nutritionists, bodyguards, chefs, and the like to ensure the three of them had three meals a day, especially little Lily's diet.

If you have money, why not use it to take care of your family members? Are you just going to let it rot in the bank?

When I returned to Godric's Hollow, a small medieval-style castle had been built not far from the Potter House, which was only half-renovated.

This was commissioned by Dalí and built by Carlo, and it was completed a week ago.

In a sense, the wizards' infrastructure construction speed is also quite impressive.

After all, with the magical ability of magic, many things become much more convenient, and it's no slower than purely mechanical things.

"Very good." Dali patted the sturdy wall of the castle and exclaimed in admiration. He had just exerted a little force and hadn't been able to break off a piece. The quality was impeccable.

As required by Dali, Carlo used the strongest and best materials for every detail.

That means Dudley is such a big spender; he could go bankrupt just by decorating half of a wizard's house.

Although the house has been completed, it is still far from meeting Dali's requirements. As a place to live and make a living, the house must be equipped with perfect defense measures.

Otherwise, Dali would always feel uncertain.

Therefore, Dudley wanted to completely renovate this small castle, and of course, the Potter family mansion as well.

After the modification is complete, place a spell of unwavering loyalty, and you can hide it perfectly.

Of course, Dudley had also considered packing up the house to use as a mobile fortress, like the mobile mage towers described in many Western fantasy novels. However, his current abilities did not allow him to do so, and his financial resources also needed to be further increased.

First, set yourself a small goal: earn 100 million gold gallons within a year.

Of course, the level of magic equipment modification also needs to be further improved.

Lily Evans has red hair and green eyes.

I don't know if the Evans family and the Weasley family had any connection before.

But it's a fact that Ms. Rowling prefers red hair.
