Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

Soon they passed through the garden and came to the gate of the old castle.

"How do we get in?" Malfoy asked, looking at the bare door.

This door has been modified by Dudley. Not only does it not have a door handle, but it doesn't even have a keyhole. Even if you want to use the 'Alaho Hole Open' with the title of Friend of Thieves, there is no place to use it.

Harry glanced at him with a bumpkin look, which made Malfoy uncomfortable.

Then Harry walked to the front of the door.

'Face recognition, pass. '

A slightly mechanical voice rang in the ears of several people.

The door opened slowly.

"What kind of magic is this?"

Malfoy couldn't care less about being a country bumpkin anymore, he just thought it was miraculous.

Harry thought for a while and replied, "Similar to the Ravenclaw eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, it can identify our identities independently."

"Cool!" Malfoy exclaimed.

Then the three entered the gate of the castle.

Chapter 179 Neville: I think so too

The moment they entered the castle, Malfoy and Neville, two children who grew up in the magical world, turned into bumpkins again.

This is a decoration completely different from the mainstream aesthetics of the wizarding world, combining fantasy and science fiction.

Under Harry's leadership, several people came to the dining room, where Dudley and Hermione had been waiting for a long time.

"Neville, Draco, welcome to our home."

The sentence "Our family" not only made Harry's little face burst into a bright smile, but also made Hermione, who was sitting next to Dudley, feel hot and shyly turn her head aside.

"Serve." Dudley sat upright and snapped his fingers lightly.

In an instant, the lights were brightly lit. At this time, the sun had set and the night was gradually approaching, but the room was as bright as day.

The Cornish elf turned into a page, wearing a suit and tie, flew from outside the door with plates and placed them on the spacious dining table.

The fragrant and delicious food made several people move their index fingers.

Malfoy casually forked a piece into his mouth, it melted in his mouth, and the wonderful taste bloomed in his taste buds.

Much better than the food at home.

Malfoy exclaimed when he learned that Dudley cooked all these dishes himself.

"Brother D, can you still cook?!"

When he was at Hogwarts, Dudley didn't show his cooking skills in front of them, so Malfoy and Neville didn't know that he could cook.

"Of course." Harry said proudly, "Brother D's cooking skills are the best."

Those who didn't know thought they were praising him.

"You're welcome, just let go and eat. I've done a lot."

As Dudley said that, he looked at a plate of crispy roasted elbows, and he was about to start eating.

Do you think Dudley would use a knife and fork to slowly cut off a slice and taste it bit by bit?

No kidding, this is Dudley.

I saw that he directly picked up the pork knuckle, put it in his mouth and chewed it at an extremely fast speed.

The meat must be eaten in large pieces.

Malfoy only moved the second fork, and Dudley had already been wiped out. At the same time, his eyes turned to another plate of delicious food.

Maybe it's because of staying with Dudley for a long time. Hermione and Harry also eat very quickly. The food on the table decreases at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first Malfoy tried to be reserved, but he looked at the delicious food If you reduce it a little bit, you don't care about so much, and join the army of grabbing food.

Not to mention Neville, he was bigger than Malfoy and Harry, and he was already hungry.

In a short time, a table of delicacies was wiped out by several people in a sweeping manner.

After waving his hands, a group of foxes flew over with great interest, picked up the plates and flew towards the kitchen.

Dudley wiped his mouth gently with a napkin, looked at several people and said, "There is still some time before school starts, what do you want to do?"

Visiting the ancient castle, even if you look at it one by one, will only take a few days at most, and there are still two full months before the start of school.

Before they came out, they had agreed with their family that they would not go home for these two months.

Originally, Malfoy thought that his father would not let him out, but he actually agreed, and before leaving, he also asked Malfoy to study hard with Dudley.

Although Lucius was arrogant, he was not stupid and had a good sense of the situation.

Hermione was the first to express her own thoughts: "I think we should use the rest of the holiday to strengthen our studies. The fifth grade will take the OWLs (Ordinary Wizarding Examination Level Test) exam, and we don't have much time left."

"We will be in the third year when we report to Hogwarts this year."

"There are just over four years left until graduation."

This word is used very well. Those who don't know think that there is only one month left before graduation.

But Dudley appreciated Hermione's sense of crisis prepared in advance.

It's just that the starting points of the two are different. Hermione is thinking about graduation, and Dudley is thinking about another aspect.

Senior Tom has suffered a lot from him in succession. Two horcruxes have been destroyed in succession, and his main remnant soul has also been wiped out. It is absolutely impossible for him to sit still and wait for death.

The older Harry was, the greater the threat to him.

He believed in prophecy, and he believed in prophecy too much. In the description of the prophecy, Harry was the one who defeated him. This was his obsession.

A wizard who has reached the level of him and Lao Deng must eliminate his obsessions by himself if he wants to go further.

And he died at Harry's hands, at least that's how it seemed to outsiders.

So as long as he gathers enough strength, he will definitely make a comeback, gather his subordinates, and do everything possible to kill Harry in front of everyone.

As far as the students were concerned, the members of the disciplinary group were already very strong, but when facing adult wizards, even vicious adult wizards, Harry and the others were still far behind.

Don't expect the Ministry of Magic to do anything, they are really unreliable.

Dudley, who had dealt with the Ministry of Magic, was well aware of this.

"Being obedient to Death Eaters, and punching ordinary wizards hard" This is the true portrayal of the Ministry of Magic now.

"I agree." Unexpectedly, Malfoy was the first to agree with Hermione's proposal.

Although he is not always looking for opportunities to be lazy like Ron, he is definitely not hardworking.

Others don't know that Malfoy has set his first goal as soon as possible to become the "Malfoy Patriarch".

Of course, if he wants to become the new head of the family, he must oust the previous head of the family.

What a filial son.

"I think so."

Hearing Hermione's suggestion and seeing Malfoy's attitude, Neville nodded approvingly and expressed his opinion.

"I think training in Defense Against the Dark Arts should be strengthened." Harry also opened his mouth to express his opinion.

Harry was very dissatisfied with his failure to fight the basilisk with Dudley at the end of last term, and strongly demanded more Defense Against the Dark Arts training.

The basis of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is actual combat.

"I think so too." Neville agreed again, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

The three turned their gazes to Dudley at the same time.

He's the one who makes the decisions.

Dudley was very relieved to see everyone studying so hard.

"Both theory and practice must be grasped."

Dudley slowly expressed his opinion: "In addition to the basic content in the textbook, I think we should also learn some advanced magic."

like the Patronus Charm

Just in time this year there's a group of dark creatures that all young Hogwarts wizards need to face.

Dementors.

It is perfect as a training object.

How to defeat ten or more dementors head-on is the basic topic of this year's discipline group. Whoever can meet the standard will be eligible to enter the discipline group.

Dudley's eyes fell on the newspaper of the Daily Prophet this time, to be precise, on the Weasleys.

I don't know if the big dog in Azkaban saw this newspaper.

Chapter 180 Mr. Lockhart Dursley, help me

"Dudley, is this what you mean by advanced magic?"

Hermione looked at Dudley suspiciously. At this moment, Dudley was lazily sitting on a chair, holding a book in his hand, a novel to be precise.

A very familiar novel.

Author - Gilderoy Lockhart

"What Lockhart wrote deserves to be called advanced magic?" Hermione emphasized again.

It was the consensus of the disciplinary team that Lockhart was a waste.

All kinds of waste material operations in Hogwarts, single-handedly killed by Neville face to face, and having a relationship with students, these black spots can't be washed away.

"No, although it was written by him, the content is indeed adapted from real stories, but the protagonist is not him."

Dudley put down the book slowly and said seriously.

The title of the novel - "Wandering with Werewolves"

At the beginning, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic took him away because of the moral issue of 'the professor had a relationship with a female student', but he didn't expect him to react so violently that he was charged with attacking an Auror. It stands to reason that even so, he His status can be settled with a little Gallon.

But the Aurors soon discovered that things were not as simple as they thought.

After an interrogation, Lockhart directly broke the defense and confessed his criminal facts.

He stole the experiences of other wizards and used the Oblivion Charm to make them forget everything.

"Lockhart attacked those wizards? Stealing their achievements?!"

After hearing Dudley's story, Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "What a hopeless bastard."

If there's anything worse than plagiarism, it's stealing from the original author and gagging them.

"So he stayed in Azkaban, that's the punishment he deserved."

Dudley tapped the cover of the book lightly with his knuckles.

"The deeds in the book belong to other wizards, and they are not fabricated out of thin air."

"The wizard in this book cured the werewolves, and they didn't use wolfbane potion, but magic spells."

Dudley emphasized on the Wolfsbane potion.

"My God," Hermione exclaimed.

Obviously she reacted.

So far, in the wizarding world, the only way to restore a werewolf to a human form is Wolfsbane Potion. If Lockhart's description is true, it means that a werewolf can be restored to sanity with a spell.

Not all werewolves are voluntary, the vast majority are forced to become werewolves.

For example, the malicious communication of some werewolves.

These werewolf wizards cannot be integrated into the normal wizard camp. Losing their minds and transforming at least once a month will discourage most wizards. In most cases, they will be forced into the camp of dark wizards because of life, and a few will not be on either side. Join, wander in the gray area, until the lonely death.

The only antidote, Wolf's Poison Potion, is a very expensive potion. The superb manufacturing process requirements and expensive raw materials are the main reasons why a bottle of Wolf's Poison Potion is hard to find.

Most importantly, most werewolf wizards are poor.
