I didn't want to say anything more immediately. At best, they were just two kids fooling around.

He just wanted to clean up the situation quickly so he could continue celebrating his daughter's birthday.

So he said, "That's enough. Go back to your room Harry."

"We're about to open Dolly's presents, so please don't get too close to us."

Dolly also agreed: "That's right, you are just a tenant, not our family."

"We need some privacy as a family. It's best if you stay alone."

When Harry heard this, he realized that he seemed to be bullied again.

He had just come forward to tell the Vernons that his last name was Potter and he was not a member of the Dursleys' family.

As a result, now that he was truly treated as an outsider, Harry suddenly felt pain and panic in his heart.

After all, even the Dursleys no longer consider him family, so where else can he go?

Living alone at the age of 11 is too difficult for Harry now.

This is probably why Harry will be so excited when he receives the admission letter to Hogwarts in the future.

Because he finally turned from biological living to experiencing personal living for the first time.

Look, Harry was about to turn around and leave like a zombie.

But at this time Dolly said: "By the way, Dad, since Harry pays a thousand pounds in rent every month, isn't it inappropriate for him to live in the utility room?"

"We should give him a room, otherwise he might regret it in the future and accuse us of defrauding him."

Vernon was suddenly at a loss for words. He patted Dolly's head and wondered why his daughter couldn't get over the issue of making money today.

Is she short of pocket money?

So he whispered in his daughter's ear: "My sweetheart, do you want to buy anything?"

"Then you can tell me that Harry has no money now and it is impossible for him to have any money."

"No, Dad, I'm thinking about our future."

"My dream is to buy a lot of houses and collect rent from them. Harry is my first client, so I can't neglect him."

Vernon was shocked. He never expected his daughter to have such an ideal.

Wasn’t her dream before to be a boxer?

Penny also recovered her spirits and asked curiously: "Dolly, why do you suddenly think so?"

"Don't you want to be a boxer anymore?"

Dolly nodded and said, "Mom, I will learn from you and become a slim beauty. That way I won't be suitable to be a boxer."

"I think an easy job like collecting rent is more suitable for me. Then we can have plenty of time to travel around the world together!"

Vernon and Petunia looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.

The daughter wants to make money but she still doesn't forget about them, which shows that she is not obsessed with money.

Although both of them felt that Dolly's ideal of being a landlord and collecting rent was a bit ridiculous, she was still a child after all.

Maybe tomorrow's ideal will be to play tennis and become a sports star.

"So, Dad, Harry is my first client!"

"Let me take care of this, please, Daddy."

Seeing my daughter begging for help, today is her birthday.

Vernon, pestered by his daughter, sighed helplessly, thought for a moment, and said, "The utility room in the northwest corner of the first floor. We'll... no, Harry, clean it out yourself. It will be your room from now on."

"As for the place where you live now, it will return to its original purpose."

"Do you understand, Harry Potter?"

Harry smiled in surprise when he heard this.

I thought a beating was waiting for me, but how come there was an extra room?

A room of his own!

Although this room was bought with his monthly income of one thousand pounds after graduation.

But let yourself think about what happens after graduation.

Now, he has his own room!

So Harry said excitedly, "Yes sir, I'll go right away!"

Then he disappeared as fast as a flash, and the Dursleys' dining table returned to normal.

As for why Harry didn't live on the second floor as in the original story, Dolly didn't ask any further questions.

The answer was obviously that Vernon didn't want Harry and Dolly to live on the same floor. After all, he now had a daughter, Dolly, instead of a son, Dudley.

After achieving her goal, Dolly breathed a sigh of relief.

She wanted to show her charm to Harry. Dolly couldn't count on her face being attractive anyway.

But the word charm has more to do with face than just appearance.

It can also be understood as grace, wisdom, kindness, bravery, talent, etc.

But what Dolly can do now is really limited. If she wants to do something, she has to use the buff of her birthday and tears as an offensive to keep maneuvering around.

She just hopes that what she does is useful and can be evaluated by the system as completing the task.

If that's not enough... then Dolly tried her best.

Even if he couldn't go to Hogwarts, his father Vernon still had some money because of his prophetic memory.

This is enough for Dolly to invest in her future and really live the wonderful life of a rich rent collector.

After all, even if we don't discuss a certain Eastern superpower, Dolly won't miss out on which companies in the Muggle world will take off and which are the well-known opportunities to get rich quickly.

Dolly was dumbfounded as she ate her breakfast while thinking about it and listening to Vernon and Petunia muttering about "eating so little".

Because she actually finished half of the breakfast that she couldn't finish in a whole day in her previous life.

The feeling of hunger still in her stomach made Dolly want to continue eating.

But she quickly pushed the food away, holding her head with a look of guilt on her face.

She wanted to lose weight, so how could she eat so much without realizing it!

As expected, Dolly has gained so much weight that many things have been engraved in her instincts.

"Dolly, you really don't want to eat anymore?"

"Yes, Mom, I want to lose weight!"

Dolly said this with difficulty, which made Penny give up the idea of continuing feeding.

At this time, Harry also passed by the three people panting, carrying a pile of miscellaneous items.

Looking at his thin appearance, Dolly said, "Harry, come and have breakfast."

"It's bad to waste food, so these are yours."

Because they adopted the separate dining system, Dolly's leftover food was placed on a separate plate.

Harry, whose stomach had been rumbling for a long time, couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the sumptuous breakfast.

He wanted to agree, but he glanced at Vernon and Petunia secretly, fearing that they would refuse.

Vernon subconsciously wanted to say something, but finally nodded and said, "Why are you still standing there? Don't waste food."

Although Vernon thought that everything Dolly had just done was a joke.

But now Dolly has not forgotten that she is the landlord, so he can only go along with Dolly.

Vernon's tone softened a little when he thought of Harry being a tenant of the Dursleys.

And this small change was enough to make Harry smile.

This is probably what it feels like to be respected.

Even if it's just a tiny bit of respect.

09 But this is my sister’s letter

A breakfast that seemed complicated but actually didn't take much time passed by.

Dolly used her childish, almost stubborn, personality to help Harry get his own room.

In the original book, that was the treatment Harry received when he received the Hogwarts admission letter on his 11th birthday.

However, compared to the current time, it is only eight days earlier. After all, Dolly's birthday is only eight days earlier than Harry's.

This made Dolly feel a little troubled. Did she really show her charm during this process?

After all, the word "charm" sounds a bit illusory, and her approach is not pretty and straightforward enough.

Is it possible that Harry simply didn't get the point and made her out to be the villain of the Dursleys?

If it weren't for the reward, Dolly wouldn't mind.

But now, she really wants to visit Hogwarts.

Wait, if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean she only has a week left?

Thinking of this, Dolly felt anxious.

She looked at Harry who was still eating and thought to herself that she should increase the intensity a little.

She couldn't show her extreme side in front of her parents, but it didn't matter in front of Harry.

Harry is a rebellious person anyway, and the more rebellious something is, the easier it is for Harry to accept it.

Harry was a little bit rebellious. When Dolly was staring at him, he was thinking that he had eaten Dolly's food, and she was unhappy again?

Just when I was planning to eat just a little of the leftovers and give them back to Dolly, Dolly had already dragged her parents to open the presents.

This made Harry a little nervous. After all, the gift he gave was really shabby, just a greeting card.

He had no money, so he could only use a greeting card he had picked up before and write a handwritten blessing on it as a gift.

If Dolly noticed, she might give him a lecture for his shabby gift.

Similar things have happened many times.

Although Harry was a boy, he was so thin that he could never be a match for Dolly, who had learned women's self-defense, was good at boxing, and weighed twice as much as him.

"Good boy, we have prepared 36 gifts for you this year."

"Although there is one less gift than last year, don't worry, there are some very important gifts among them."

Vernon and Petunia had already returned to their roles as doting parents to Dolly, as for what had just happened at the dinner table.

After all, it's just giving Harry a room, which means moving the storage room to another location. There's no need to worry too much.

As long as Dolly is happy, then all is well.

Dolly blinked, wondering whether to lose her temper like Dudley.

After all, Dolly received 37 gifts last year, but only 36 this year. Given Dudley's personality, it would be normal for him to at least open some things.

Seeing that Dolly seemed unhappy, Petunia and Vernon had nervous looks on their faces. They had just tried to comfort their daughter.

Dolly suddenly turned around and said to Harry, "What gift did you give me, Harry? Today is your cousin's birthday."

Harry was stunned for a moment, being stared at by three people, and he didn't know whether he should swallow the food in his mouth.

His gift was naturally not counted among the 36 gifts. After all, it was too shabby and was thrown directly into the corner by Vernon.

After hearing Dolly's words, Vernon seemed to have found a solution.

He quickly bent down and picked up Harry's gift from the ground, and said with a smile, "Including Harry's gift, there are 37 items in total."

"But the gift Harry gave you is too shabby. How about your mother and I buy you three more when we go to the zoo to make a total of forty?"

Dolly then nodded and took Harry's card.

Then he stuffed the card into the pile of gifts and said, "I have received all your gifts. I will give you gifts in return on your birthdays."

"Good boy, open it and see what's inside!"
