Arthur said a few words to his two sons and then left.
Bill and Charlie took deep breaths, as if trying to process the facts.
"Our car is parked over there," Vincent pointed across the street.
The two followed behind him, their minds heavy with worry.
The Wayne family's gifts weren't actually that big, because they were all placed in gift boxes that had been enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm.
Vincent held his own, while Bill and Charlie each held the Wayne couple's.
Eric has returned to the house; he must have gone to find Evelyn, who went into the kitchen to help.
The three of them returned to Harry's room with the gifts, their expressions now appearing quite natural.
However, when arranging things, they always subconsciously glance under the bed and in the wardrobe.
Wizards have many hidden spells.
The Invisibility Cloak is simple and practical, the Disillusionment Charm is convenient and quick, and Animagus is safe and reliable.
If Wayne's family hadn't been so well-equipped that day, Rita probably wouldn't have been discovered by now.
Moreover, Sirius Black is one of the heirs of the ancient Black family, Goblin who never leaks client information and is also very greedy.
Bill, who works at Gringotts, knows this well, as does Charlie, who has some social experience.
Vincent goes without saying.
Since the goal is not to escape, there is no need to hide our whereabouts.
I'll get some Gold Galleons to buy a wand or Invisibility Cloak, and get to the Dursleys before the Ministry of Magic finds out...
When Arthur returned, the room had already been furnished.
Harry is unpacking the Wayne family's gifts.
Eric gifted him a complete set of fitness equipment.
Barbells and dumbbells are just the basics; treadmills, rowing machines, Smith machines, multi-functional sit-up benches, and other similar equipment are the real highlights.
Evelyn gave her a body fat scale that had just been released last year.
Tanita, a leading Japan manufacturer of weighing scales, uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) to measure body fat.
Vincent gave him a pair of round-framed glasses.
Made of shape Memory Alloy, it can automatically repair scratches and deformations.
The lens sensitivity can be adjusted by touching the temple, similar to a regular night vision device.
All three gifts were far beyond Harry's expectations.
Magic can indeed cure many Muggle diseases, but long-term alteration of the body's basic physiological structure can have a mental impact.
Nearsightedness is congenital, but physical condition can be improved through exercise.
Harry took off the secondhand glasses that Petunia had bought for him five years ago and put on the new ones.
It was a little blurry at first, but the lenses quickly adjusted the angle of light refraction automatically.
The world became clearer than ever before, and I could barely feel the weight of the glasses.
Do you like it?
"I love it!"
Seeing the genuine smile on his face, Vincent seemed to be infected and smiled back.
Bill and Charlie were no longer as heavy-hearted as before.
The Ministry of Magic will handle it; they just need to enjoy the party.
Minister's Office for British Ministry of Magic
Fudge received a report from the Auror who had been sent to the Dursleys.
While it cannot yet be confirmed that it is Sirius Black, the presence of a suspect is certain.
Large-scale operations are not advisable, while small-scale covert searches are unlikely to be effective.
When Scrimgeour came in, he saw him rubbing his temples vigorously.
"... Now you know what's going on, right?"
"I have a general idea."
Fudge lowered his hand. "My hunch was right, this bastard is after Harry."
"Mr. Minister, Black is Death Eaters with no moral bottom line. It's not surprising that he would do something so terrible."
"Damn Death Eaters!" He took a deep breath. "Could the Sneakoscope's detection results be wrong?"
"Possibly." Scrimgeour took a very small glass bead from his pocket.
"Even the Dark Magic Detector we use in our office now have several spells that can interfere with their operation."
Fudge rubbed his temples again. "Rufus, are you trying to say that Black has already obtained a wand?"
"If he is the suspect, then I can't think of anyone else who would dare to make such a joke to Harry."
They're even using magic to interfere with the Sneakoscope, so it's definitely not just a joke.
Did the Dursleys harbor malicious intent to commit a crime?
Could it be the Wayne family?
Or is it that Weasley over?
"Two people per group, disguised as Muggle, to thoroughly search the Little Whinging."
"Yes." Scrimgeour's expression suddenly turned strange. "Where's Tonks?"
"Let her stay at Diagon Alley for now; we can't take any risks."
As evening approached, Auror and members of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad, disguised as Muggle residents, arrived at the scene in batches.
To avoid alerting the enemy, they kept as low-key as possible.
The Dursley regularly hold parties.
Although they had already cut the cake last night, Harry clearly preferred this one, which was several sizes bigger.
Vernon and Petunia were forcing smiles.
The Wayne family was alright, but Weasley's family had a total of nine people.
I've spent a lot of money; hopefully, I can pass the "inspection" smoothly.
"Merlin, this cake is so delicious!" George grinned mischievously as he approached Vincent to him.
However, he was too close, and was noticed as soon as he raised his hand.
"You want to throw this in my face?"
George quickly opened his mouth and swallowed the cake he was holding. "Of course not!"
Vincent rolled his eyes. "Percy probably hasn't realized you took his badge yet."
"Ahem—my good buddy, you'll keep this a secret for me and Fred, right?"
"Maybe."
George, skipping and hopping away, decided to move on to his next target.
The eldest brother has just finished playing pranks, now it's the second brother's turn.
Learning from his previous experience, he quietly took another cake this time, and approached as quietly as possible.
Victory is within reach!
However, just as the cake was getting very close to the back of Charlie's head, he suddenly bent down for some reason.
George was stunned.
"What are you doing?"
"Uh... did you slip?"
Charlie shook his head skeptically. "Don't joke like that. Today's main character is Harry."
"Okay~"
That's what he said, but George's gaze was fixed on Dudley, who was taking small bites of cake.
This chubby kid always bullies Harry; it's time to get revenge.
...Based on the lessons learned from the previous two failures, I quickly threw the cake at him as soon as I got close to his back.
Hit right on the back of the head, 10/10!
Dudley touched his neck and his eyes seemed to light up when he found it was cream.
Giving up sweets?
Impossible!
George was stunned.
Not only did the chubby boy not cry, he even stuck out his tongue and licked the cream off his hands.
There was absolutely no joy of success, only severe physical and psychological discomfort.
After losing interest in playing pranks, he sat down next to Fred, who was eating cake.
"It failed?"
"It was successful, but not entirely successful."
The Weasley twins are a real handful.
It was just a minor setback, and they quickly cheered up.
Before the three mothers went into the kitchen to bring out the sumptuous meal, each of them received a small stick from them.
Pull the small knot at the bottom, and countless colorful fireworks burst through the Dursleys' living room.
There were no random changes like the whooshing and popping of fireworks; they were just ordinary fireworks.
Vernon and Petunia were all smiles, but inside they were already crying.
Renovation costs are not cheap these days.
Arthur knew that the couple were putting on a brave face.
As the fireworks dimmed, he drew his wand and cast Repairing Charm.
The Little Black marks on the wall are gone, and the dust that fell on the floor is also gone.
The Dursleys' earlier gloom vanished.
The magical spell saved them a lot of money on renovations.
No, why should we be grateful?
This money shouldn't have been paid in the first place; if anyone should have paid, it should have been Arthur, who let his kids run wild!
