Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 360 Impressions of James! The Old Bat Spying in the Dark!

Since James and Lily got together in seventh grade, James has toned down his nasty and arrogant nature and gradually become gentle and compliant. After marrying Lily and having children, his gentle and compliant personality became even more pronounced.

However, this gentleness and compliance were not evident much when facing Petunia, who disliked her sister, and Vernon, who hated wizards.

James and Vernon initially disliked each other, and after only a few meetings, they had a verbal argument.

Now, given the debt of resurrecting them and raising Harry, from James's perspective, the Potters owe the Dursleys an enormous debt of gratitude that they can never repay.

Penny and Lily are back together.

From any perspective, James should be genuinely grateful to and respect the Dursleys.

That's exactly what James was thinking.

However, given the initial estrangement and minor frictions, coupled with his limited interaction with the Dursleys to begin with, and their separation by death, James simply couldn't eliminate the barriers between himself and Petunia and Vernon in a short period of time and become completely open with them.

To deliberately feign compliance would be disrespectful to the Dursleys.

After expressing his sincere gratitude to the Dursleys, James could only remain tight-lipped.

Vernon had similar feelings and reactions.

He can now be considered a wizard, and he no longer opposes wizards and magic. He can let bygones be bygones for the sake of his wife, but he can no longer talk to James and Lily about everything.

The social skills honed in the business world are no longer suitable for occasions where genuine emotions are expressed.

Therefore, I had no choice but to be very sparing with my words.

Dali was very happy and touched to see his mother and aunt reconcile.

But he didn't have much affection for his uncle James.

If James weren't Harry's father, or Aunt Lily's husband, he wouldn't care whether James lived or died.

James has loving parents and exceptional magical talent, but when he gets to school, he forms a gang of thugs and resorts to all sorts of means, such as gang fights and bullying, to compete for girls.

While it cannot be denied that James had a kind and righteous nature, a moral bottom line, and did not develop into a dark wizard, he joined the Order of the Phoenix after graduation and fought for the white wizarding camp. He also sacrificed himself eleven years ago.

However, his upbringing, as well as his foolishness, arrogance, and carelessness in the events surrounding the Loyal Heart Charm and the final battle with Voldemort, made Dudley genuinely dislike this uncle-in-law.

So Dudley doesn't want to, and doesn't have much to say to James right now.

As for Aunt Lily's gratitude towards him, and the kindness she extended to him out of love for her, Dali was happy to accept it, but he couldn't fully adapt to it in a short time.

So, after Penny and Lily finished their conversation and agreed to meet soon, Dudley ended the video call and casually added mirror marks and traces to his aunt and uncle, explaining their functions for easy contact later.

Then, the Potters' attention was drawn to Dumbledore, Sirius Black, and Lupin, who had been watching from the sidelines for quite some time.

The three of them remained silent, simply observing, as if afraid of disturbing the Potters' reunion and emotional expression with Harry and his family.

Meanwhile, the Potters, immersed in the shock of the resurrection and the atmosphere of family reunion, had overlooked these three old friends who seemed very familiar and dear to them.

Only after Dudley's explanation did they recognize the identities of these three old friends.

“Professor Dumbledore, Bigfoot, and Moonface, what do you look like…”

Facing his three old friends, James seemed much more at ease, but once he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness from the past.

Dudley couldn't stand it any longer, so he raised his hand and cast a conceptual restoration spell, doing what he had to do sooner or later, making Sirius and Lupin's souls and bodies ten years younger.

His magical cultivation, memory, and soul strength remained unchanged.

"Uncle and Aunt, they should look the same as you remember them now, right?"

"Dali said with a smile."

This shocked Lily and James once again, but considering that Dudley could even resurrect the dead like them and make them ten years younger, it wasn't so hard to understand.

As for why Dumbledore wasn't made young again, it's because it's not yet time for Dumbledore's family members to be resurrected.

Furthermore, Dumbledore is, after all, the backbone of the wizarding world. His sudden rejuvenation without preparation would lead unsuspecting wizards to believe that something was wrong with him, causing unnecessary panic.

It is best to wait until you have a good plan before taking action.

At that time, all the old professors of Hogwarts will be able to enjoy this benefit.

After the brief episode of becoming younger, Sirius and Lupin no longer suppress their longing for their best friends and begin to reminisce with James and Lily, rekindling their friendship.

Sirius Black inevitably brought up his foolish decision, saying with remorse that he shouldn't have suggested changing the secret agent, and even more so, he shouldn't have chosen that cowardly little devil, Pettigrew.

James and Lily immediately comforted Sirius, saying it wasn't his fault.

James agreed to this decision at the time.

And just like that, Sirius easily gained the Potters' forgiveness.

Dudley is also preparing to receive Sirius's A-level regret event reward.

Unexpectedly, the system reward notification did indeed ring in his mind, but the first thing it mentioned wasn't Sirius's A-level regrettable incident, but rather...

【Congratulations to the host! 】

[Successfully resolved the S-rank regrettable incident - The Vanished White Moonlight!]

[The host resurrected Lily, allowing Severus Snape to see his beloved again, redeeming him from the deep regret that had haunted him for years.]

This unfortunate incident has been resolved perfectly.

[Special offer, fixed reward: 1 S-rank fusion opportunity.]

[Bonus Reward: 1 S-Rank Fusion Opportunity.]

[Currently available magic item fusion opportunities: S-rank *4 times, B-rank *2 times, C-rank *3 times.]

That old bat Snape has followed us!

Dali immediately came to a conclusion.

Without making a sound, he activated his X-ray vision ability and searched in all directions, discovering Snape hiding behind a large tree a hundred or two meters away.

At this moment, this fellow also had tears in his eyes, gazing affectionately at Aunt Lily, but dared not make a sound, only daring to be a self-satisfied voyeur.

Dudley understood that the old bat must have been struggling with this for quite some time, and had only just arrived by Apparition; otherwise, the system notification wouldn't have only sounded now.

He didn't make a fuss about it, pretending that Snape had never been there.

They continued to receive system reward notifications.

This time, it's Sirius's turn to have an A-level regrettable incident.

【Congratulations to the host! 】

[Successfully resolved a Class A regrettable incident - a decision one deeply regrets!]

The host resurrected James and Lily, allowing Sirius Black to hear the Potters' words of forgiveness.

It saved Sirius Black from a wrong decision that left him filled with guilt, remorse, and unable to recover for over a decade.

This unfortunate incident has been resolved perfectly.

[Special offer, fixed reward: 1 A-level fusion opportunity.]

[Bonus Reward: 1 A-Rank Fusion Opportunity.]

[Currently available magical item fusion opportunities: S-rank *4 time, A-rank *2 times, B-rank *2 times, C-rank *3 times.]
