Chapter 449: Hogwarts Study Panel Chapter 189

Harry knew his life with the Dursleys had been completely changed. Although Uncle Vernon, who still needed something from him, was speechless, the days of living in the cupboard under the stairs were surely gone forever.

During the meal, Jia Siting pretended to look curiously at the cupboard under the stairs and said:

"It seems the treatment of your nanny isn't great, but seeing this reminds me of what my butler said: a family here always abuses children.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children is already searching; they should arrive here in a moment..."

These words made the Dursleys' faces turn extremely pale.

This was, of course, a plan discussed by Jia Siting and Xiang Xiang Xien, but the final choice still lay in Harry's hands.

He could send this family to prison, or make them bear a huge fine.

Harry's face had not been very good; after the initial joy of finally standing tall, he kept asking himself many sharp questions.

He could not answer them and only wanted to escape quickly.

Xiang Xiang Xien watched Vernon eat like a zombie, Petunia trembling so much her spoon shook, and Harry's expression full of conflict and pain...

His gaze grew even deeper.

Every person in this family was only immersed in their own world; in life, no one had entered another's heart.

They were lonely; they seemed intertwined, but in reality, they were countless individuals of immense loneliness.

"If temporary escape makes you feel relieved, Harry, we can leave here."

After the meal ended, the brooch said.

Harry raised his head blankly and still saw Xiang Xiang Xien's slightly gentle face.

In the end, Harry did not decide to tell the truth to the arriving Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children staff; from that moment on, the Dursleys seemed to tremble and disbelieve.

They returned to Diagon Alley.

Hermione, Luo En, and Neville were in the carriage, watching the entire farce through the window Jia Siting had opened.

At this moment, they were discussing heatedly; Hermione and Luo En both agreed that Harry's decision to let them off was unwise.

Harry remained silent.

At Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, no one came to bother Harry; they chose to let him be alone and calm down.

Harry saw the distant horizon was a hazy gray; owls flapped their wings yet appeared listless.

Occasionally, a black shop roof blocked an eagle flying through the fiery red sunset; unknowingly, the melted water from the ice cream in the cup had flowed down.

Another person sat across the table:

"You chose to forgive, but that does not mean you have forgotten... Harry, being true to yourself is a remarkable thing."

Xiang Xiang Xien's green eyes were dyed by the fiery red sunset; Harry felt his nose become particularly sour.
