Meaning of ''d have to'
Given the sentence:
"Have a good term," said Uncle Vernon with an even nastier smile. He left without another word. Harry turned and saw the Dursleys drive away. All three of them were laughing. Harry's mouth went rather dry. What on earth was he going to do? He was starting to attract a lot of funny looks, because of Hedwig. He'd have to ask someone.
In the last sentence, ‘He’d have to~,’ I guess ‘’d’ is a contraction of ‘would.’ having the meaning of 'hope'. And the next ‘have to’ implies 'duty'. Then what does this sentence is saying?
