Being stared at by both father and daughter, Penny's face flushed slightly.

A small part of it is shyness, but more of it is touching.

Which parent doesn’t want their children to regard them as a role model?

Especially Vernon and Petunia, who doted on their children so much, treasured their children's gratitude.

"Thank you, kid."

"But I wasn't good enough. For example, I didn't realize you wanted to lose weight."

After that, Penny took half of the meat from Dolly's plate and said, "How about eating less from today?"

However, looking at the food on her plate, which was equivalent to a whole day's worth of food in her previous life, Dolly still didn't want to eat.

Her thoughts raced, and she continued, "But I don't want to waste the food you made, Mom. This is so embarrassing."

Vernon and Petunia looked at each other, and then Vernon said, "Then let me help with the remaining food so that it won't be wasted."

Dolly shook her head, staring at Vernon and said, "No, Dad. You have to control your weight while I lose weight, otherwise you will get sick."

"I hope the three of us can live healthy lives forever. This is my birthday wish!"

After hearing this, Vernon was naturally moved for a few seconds, and even felt a little tearful.

Dolly has indeed grown up and even changed a lot.

Under normal circumstances, the couple would definitely feel something was wrong.

However, today happens to be Dolly's birthday. With such a special day as a cover, Dolly's behavior can be regarded as a reasonable change.

Seeing that Vernon and Petunia were silent, Dolly knew that her preparations were complete.

She pushed aside half of the food she had shared and said, "By the way, isn't there another person in our family?"

Vernon and Petunia's expressions changed immediately; they knew who Dolly was talking about.

But Vernon still said with a dark face: "Dolly, he is not a member of our family, he is just a guest boarding here."

Penny also agreed, "Dolly, today is your birthday. Don't let him come out and bother you. We will save cake for him."

Dolly was a little stunned.

Because in her memory, Harry's situation in the original story was not as tragic as this.

At least he could sit at the table for meals, and later he would accompany Dudley to the zoo, where Harry had his first conversation with a snake and demonstrated his ability to speak Parseltongue.

So what's the problem?

Dolly glanced casually at the fairy toy ring on her finger and instantly understood.

Dudley could bully Harry at will, not only because he had a bad temper, but also because he was a boy.

Vernon and Petunia did not restrict Dudley from doing such things, but now they have consciously kept Dolly and Harry apart.

This was also an instinctive way for them to protect their daughter, but it made Harry's situation a little more difficult.

But Dolly knew that this was not the right thing to do.

Even without the system task, it was destined that Harry would become Dumbledore's savior and his close friend.

There will be no good consequences if you offend these wizards. After all, wizards don’t have the common sense of Muggle society.

For example, Hagrid made Dudley turn into a pig's tail, which seemed to be a minor punishment, but Dudley had to go to the Muggle hospital to cut off the tail afterwards.

If this incident caused unrest in the Muggle world, such as being reported in the newspapers, how would the Ministry of Magic end up?

Obliviate everyone who bought the newspaper, then break Hagrid's broken wand again, and finally throw Hagrid into Azkaban?

If this happens, everyone will be hurt, and Harry will probably regard the Dursleys as the murderers of his father.

Dolly would not allow such a thing to happen that would bring bad luck to everyone.

What's more, Dolly is also going to enter the wizarding world.

It would be really miserable for her, a Muggle, if she was turned into a dark wizard because of offending the savior.

So Dolly used her old trick again and said, "Dad, you are right. Harry is not a member of our family. He is a guest in our house."

"But he's my cousin, isn't he? I think I should include my brother in my birthday celebration."

"Just like when you adopted him, I want to learn from your kindness and goodness!"

Dolly gave out two compliments, which really made Vernon and Petunia look much better.

But this time, simple compliments were obviously not enough. The two of them were keeping the secret of the wizard in their hearts and really didn't want Dolly and Harry to have more contact.

This is actually not because either of them has a dark mentality, or because Petunia is jealous of her sister Lily and wants to take revenge on Harry.

In fact, it was because after Vernon and Petunia got engaged, they tried to reconcile with their families.

At that time, Vernon and Petunia met with Lily and James.

However, a Muggle and a pure-blood wizard are destined not to understand each other.

Vernon asked James what they drove, and James replied that they rode broomsticks.

Vernon was therefore concerned about James's family's financial situation, and James replied that their family used pure gold currency, Galleons.

After several rounds of similar conversations, Vernon felt that he was being mocked and both parties parted on bad terms.

The next time they heard from each other, James and Lily had died at the hands of Voldemort, leaving behind a child that they had to take care of.

Vernon and Petunia couldn't refuse because Harry could only be blessed by his blood relatives, and the blood magic in him could protect him.

On one side is the Dark Lord Voldemort, and on the other side is Dumbledore, the King of White Wizards.

Vernon, a Muggle who knew nothing, was caught in the middle, so it was naturally impossible for him to have any good feelings towards Harry.

"Child, there are some things you may not understand."

Vernon rubbed his fingers together nervously.

Originally, his family was used to his abuse of Harry.

But now Dolly's flattery made him ashamed to admit it, and he wanted to find a reason to glorify himself.

It's impossible that his daughter said she was kind and benevolent, and he replied no, but in fact he was a child abuser, right?

But he couldn't tell Vernon about the magic, and he was suddenly overwhelmed.

It was Petunia who came up with the idea and said, "We don't want to adopt Harry. Your father and Harry's father have a deep conflict."

"But someone forced us to do this. Harry could have lived well in an orphanage."

"If he's in an orphanage, we could even visit him every week... no, every quarter. That way our relationship would be even better."

"Look, we never force you to do anything. It's hard to be forced."

Petunia still didn't dare mention Dumbledore's name, just as the wizarding world didn't dare mention Voldemort's name.

It was as if the pressure she had been under for all these years was finally released, and Penny burst into tears.

Vernon patted his wife's shoulder and wiped away a tear as well.

At this moment, the old couple, who had been suppressing their emotions for 11 years, finally had a chance to release their emotions to the third party.

06 Muggle technology shocked Deng

Her parents burst into tears on the spot, and Dolly's appeal seemed to have failed.

Yet Dolly felt that the deed was done.

Because a little head popped out from the corner.

He didn't dare to breathe out loudly, but was biting his lips tightly and listening carefully to the conversation here.

This person was obviously Harry.

Keep a Gryffindor in check?

That would be even harder than making Draco like Muggles from the bottom of his heart.

Not to mention that Vernon and Petunia didn't bother to lower their voices when they mentioned Harry's parents.

Now Harry had to jump out and find out what was going on.

But Harry didn't expect that he would be discovered by Dolly.

Their eyes met, and Dolly clearly saw Harry's panic.

At this time, Dolly only needs to roar, and Harry will immediately be greeted by the angry bear Vernon and the door that will be locked from the outside for at least 24 hours.

Dolly did the same thing in the past.

Compared to Dudley who likes to bully Harry himself, Dolly prefers to summon Vernon and Petunia.

However, just when Harry was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe, Dolly winked at him and made a gesture to silence him.

Harry didn't dare to think too much and nodded instinctively.

Then I felt strange. How could Dolly have changed so much?

But since it involved his parents, Harry didn't care and continued to listen.

"Mom and Dad, how did Harry's parents die, and who forced you to do that?"

Dolly looked shocked and asked curiously.

At the same time, in order to prevent the two from continuing to talk, he added angrily, "Today is my birthday, you can't lie to me."

"I've been wondering about what's going on with Harry living in our house for a long time."

Vernon and Petunia were obviously a little stunned, and they didn't want to mention it.

But seeing that their daughter was about to get angry, the two men's defenses loosened a lot.

After all, today is my daughter's birthday, and she behaved so maturely just now.

If I continue to fool my daughter at this time and let her return to her old self, wouldn't that be unfitting as a parent?

So the two of them looked at each other, and it was Penny who started to explain.

After all, Vernon knew nothing about the wizarding world, but Petunia at least had some idea of it.

Petunia thought for two seconds and said, "Harry's parents were a pair of... outstanding scholars, but because they offended someone, they were brutally murdered."

As she said this, Penny looked at her daughter nervously.

If my daughter is frightened, she will stop immediately.

Unexpectedly, Dolly looked as if she was listening to a horror story with great interest, which made Penny feel relieved.

"This murderer has not been caught yet. He not only wants to kill Harry's parents, but also wants to kill Harry."

"Then an old man, who was Harry's parents' teacher, asked us to take care of Harry because he said the murderer couldn't find it here."

"If Harry is not left in our house, he will definitely find him and kill him."

Vernon muttered, "That's all the old man's talk. I don't believe a word of it."

"If we hand Harry over to the police, will the murderer kill the police as well?"

Petunia continued, "You know what happened next. Harry lived with us for 11 years, and we lived in fear for 11 years."

"We don't simply hate Harry, but everything behind Harry is really unbearable for us."

Although Vernon and Petunia were in low spirits, their mental state was obviously much better.

Although it seemed too early to tell my daughter this, her expression as if she was listening to a story dispelled their worries.

Next, the daughter got up from her seat, came to the two people and gave them a hug.

The sight of the three members of the family supporting each other made Vernon and Petunia feel even more comforted.

As for Harry, he quietly hid in the corner and squatted there crying silently.

After comforting your parents, help them wipe away their tears.

Dolly said seriously, "Dad, Mom, I understand you."

"But I think we have to make a decision about Harry and we can't continue to be so vague."

Vernon and Petunia looked at Dolly in surprise, but both nodded for Dolly to continue.

Dolly's performance today has won their recognition that their daughter has indeed grown up.
