Penny also gave Dolly a hug, ending the little unpleasantness.

She and Vernon were confident that Dolly would be very happy once she opened the gift.

But in reality, Dolly was a little bored.

The gifts given by both parents ranged from candy, clothes, boxing gloves, and even a folding bicycle.

But for Dolly, a modern soul, she wants a mobile phone, a computer, and then connect to the Internet of future generations.

Of course this is impossible.

But can Dolly, who is used to watching TV series and videos online and never leaves her phone, really adapt to this era?

I was busy with my tasks and didn't have time to think about all this seriously.

Now that she started to think about it, Dolly even felt a little depressed.

But there should be home game consoles now, but this was obviously not among the gifts given by her parents, and Dolly didn't like this thing in the past.

We have to find a way to get it.

Even playing Mario would be great.

In the end, Dolly chose to smile in surprise when she saw the bicycle.

After all, she plans to lose weight, and a bicycle can be considered a good helper for losing weight. By the way, it allows her to walk around and get to know the environment.

She inherited all the memories of the original owner, but memories are just memories, and there are many things that can only be felt at ease after seeing them yourself.

Vernon and Petunia also breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was to take the two children to the zoo.

"Harry, I must warn you."

As Petunia took Dolly to change her clothes, Vernon warned Harry with a fierce look.

"Today is Dolly's birthday. Don't do anything weird again, or I won't forgive you."

"At least I'll let you go without food for a week!"

Vernon's warning seemed nonsensical, even like mindless bullying of Harry.

But Vernon's warning was well-founded.

The reason why wizards are wizards is because they have magic in their bodies.

If these magical powers are not systematically guided and released from the body, they will accumulate in the wizard's body.

Finally, the wizard becomes a terrifying Obscurus, a monster mutated by the magic power in his body.

Or let the wizard release it passively, causing an explosion of magic power.

That is, the wizard inadvertently releases the magic power in his body, which causes some accidents.

As a talented wizard, Harry has experienced magical outbursts more than once.

For example, the hair that was cut will grow back piece by piece overnight.

For example, because he was worried about being late, he stepped on the garbage dump and flew to a high place in the school.

For example, because he stared at the teacher's wig, the teacher's wig turned blue.

It would be fine if something like this happened once or twice, but after it happened so many times, Vernon and Petunia naturally knew that it was caused by magic.

Every time, Vernon was overwhelmed by the aftermath of these incidents.

And magic itself is what the couple hates and fears the most, and now it appears in Harry.

Vernon and Petunia's dislike for Harry naturally grew.

There is even so much fear hidden in it, which is a topic that the couple dare not face.

10 Professor McGonagall's Visit

Harry himself certainly didn't understand any of this.

He couldn't figure out those strange things, but if he couldn't figure it out, he would just stop thinking about it.

After all, Harry is only 11 years old, and he is still three or four years away from being in the second grade of junior high school when he thinks he has super powers to save the world.

Therefore, facing Vernon's warning, Harry could only nod in agreement passively.

But he had no idea why or how those strange things happened, and he had no way of controlling it.

As for why he didn't consider magic, the answer is simple: Harry had no idea about it at all.

His childhood did not include any beautiful fairy tales, nor did he have time for wild fantasies.

The four of them had a smooth journey and arrived at the zoo in less than an hour.

After a while, I looked up and saw the doorplate in front of me with the words "Reptile House" written on it.

Dolly sighed inwardly, what was supposed to come finally came.

In the original plot, Dudley pushed Harry down.

Out of anger, Harry subconsciously made the glass of the display case disappear, causing Dudley to fall headfirst into the python pit.

The python also crawled out, scaring everyone in the exhibition hall to run away in all directions.

Later, the glass that Harry made disappear turned back into a new shape because it had no magical support, thus trapping Dudley in the python pit.

Dudley's birthday trip thus turned into a terrifying journey, and Vernon saw all of this and naturally understood that Harry was up to something.

Of course, Vernon didn't know that Harry's magical outbursts were uncontrollable.

He just thought that Harry might have mastered magic and was using it to bully his son.

After that, Harry was naturally put in detention and starved. It was not until Hogwarts sent him the admission letter on his birthday that things entered the next stage.

Dolly naturally didn't want to follow in Dudley's footsteps.

Even if the python doesn't bite you, falling into a python pit and hugging it is not a pleasant memory.

Although snakes are quite common animals in the magical world, Dolly still instinctively got goosebumps when she saw the snake and didn't want to have anything to do with this animal.

So how do we capitalize on Harry's discovery that he's a Parseltongue and can talk to snakes?

Dolly looked down in thought, and this made Vernon think his daughter was boring.

He banged on the glass of the exhibition window and shouted for the python to move to please his daughter.

This startled Harry, and he quickly said, "He's sleeping, so he doesn't want to move."

This earned Vernon an eye roll, but Vernon didn't say much outside.

He pulled his wife forward, and Dolly followed subconsciously.

But after taking a step, Dolly quietly retreated.

Because Harry didn't keep up, he looked at the snake in front of him with a liking.

So Harry subconsciously said to himself: "I'm sorry, man, they don't understand how you feel having to lie there every day."

"Just like me, lonely, bored and anxious."

However, at this time, the python seemed to understand what Harry said, and looked up at Harry.

Harry's eyes widened in surprise and he lowered his voice: "Can you understand me?"

The python slowly moved its head up and down, as if nodding.

"That's amazing, I've never spoken to a snake before."

"Do you talk to others often? Is it because you are a special breed?"

Harry still couldn't believe how special he was, but the python shook his head and turned to look at the nameplate on the side.

It says Burmese Python, Hatched in the Park, in two lines.

Seeing all this, Harry understood.

He sighed softly and said, "You and I are both children without parents, and we have never seen our parents."

Hearing this, Dolly knew it was her turn.

So Dolly pushed... no, pressed Harry's shoulder.

Harry started and nearly cried out.

When Harry saw that the person coming was his cousin Dolly, he was almost petrified.

The fact that he was talking to the python was discovered, and Dolly called it out. What awaits him will be Vernon's most severe punishment.

It was only then that Harry noticed that there was something strange on his cousin's face.

"Can you talk to pythons?"

Dolly's face was filled with excitement and surprise, not the horror or anger Harry had imagined.

And she didn't punch or slap me like she did in the past.

My cousin Dolly seems a little different today.

After all, he was given a room of his own in the morning.

But Harry still shook his head. He was more afraid of his Uncle Vernon than Dolly, and he didn't dare to admit that he was any different.

"No, I'm not, I didn't!"

Dolly wasn't surprised by Harry's behavior, but she wasn't going to let it go so easily.

One of the most effective ways to get closer to someone quickly is to share the same secret with them.

Obviously, Harry can talk to pythons, which makes it a secret.

So Dolly continued, "Don't pretend, brother. I won't tell anyone about this."

"Don't you know how cool it is to be able to talk to snakes?"

"In the future, you can become the greatest animal trainer in the world, and earn a hundred thousand pounds or even more from a single performance!"

"Then don't tell us you owe us rent. You can invite us to your own manor!"

Dolly's expressions are exaggerated, but not entirely false.

She hated snakes, but it was really cool being able to talk to animals.

This was the first time Dolly had seen magic up close, even if it was just a very ordinary and simple bloodline talent.

Harry blinked, his mind clearly perking up at Dolly's words.

It was no longer just a fear of being punished by Vernon, but a fantasy of his own future.

It would be nice to become the most famous animal tamer in the world, right?

After all, animals are much friendlier than humans.

So Harry turned to look at the python and asked cautiously.

"If I become an animal trainer in the future, I'd like to invite you to perform with me."

"I will give you freedom and food in my estate. Will you come?"

The Burmese python nodded again, not caring about the performance.

What it wants is a larger living space. It would be even better if it could find a female snake to reproduce.

Harry's eyes lit up, and for the first time in his life he had a goal for the future.

In the past, he lived in a daze, without parents or past, and without knowing where his future lay.

Normally, similar changes should have occurred after he received the admission letter from Hogwarts.

But now, it was intercepted by Dolly using a small python.

Dolly felt much more favorable towards the Burmese python in front of her. Did this really show her charm?

Oh, that’s not right. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with her?

Thinking of this, Dolly quickly added.

"Hey, Harry, I won't tell Mom and Dad about this."

"But correspondingly, your conversation with the python has become a secret between us."

"Got it, brother?"
