Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

He kept lowering his head and fiddling with the corner of his clothes.

"Although it's my first time, don't worry."

Dudley slapped his chest loudly.

"Believe me, I'm pretty strong at this."

"But if it's discovered." Hermione hesitated, looking very conflicted, after all, it was the first time she had done such a thing: "Why don't you forget it."

This kind of thing is as exciting as skipping class.

"Don't worry, it will be soon, I will come out after a while."

Seeing that Hermione was very hesitant, Dudley gave her a shot in the arm: "Hermione, you don't want to either"

"Aren't you feeling hungry in the middle of the night?"

'Cuckoo.'

As soon as the words fell, someone's stomach rang very tacitly, just in time.

Hermione blushed even more.

"Go and come, wait for me."

With that said, Dudley strode into the Hogwarts kitchen next to the Hufflepuff common room.

The moment Dudley stepped into the kitchen, the kitchen, which had been clanging before, suddenly fell silent.

"Dear little wizard, may I help you?"

A respectful voice sounded from under Dudley's body.

Dudley bent down and saw a humanoid creature standing respectfully at his feet.

It was a diminutive, skinny-looking species, a tennis-ball-sized Kazilan with big eyes and bat-like ears, and it was rude to think so, but its nose did resemble Snape's.

If there was anything similar to Dudley's impression, it would probably be a malnourished version of a goblin with normal skin color.

It is also somewhat similar to Gollum in the novels written by Dudley, the "Lord of the Rings" series, except that the ears are bigger and the nose is pointier.

Of course, it is somewhat similar to the goblins of Gringotts, but the teeth of the goblins are sharp teeth.

House elves, a magical species, according to the history of magic, are a vassal race of wizards, elves who have served wizards for generations.

It is worth mentioning that the house elves themselves have strong magical powers, and even many adult wizards who are not good at fighting are not their opponents.

According to "A Piece of Hogwarts School History", Hogwarts' kitchens are all run by house elves.

"I'm a little hungry, can I use the kitchen here?"

Dudley looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the large iron pot on the stove.

"Do you think the dishes we cook are not delicious?"

I only heard the house elf tremblingly speaking, and then directly hit the wall with his head, making a 'dong dong' sound.

"Bad zipper Bad zipper. The food you make is hard for little wizards to eat."

Dudley stopped and said, "Stop."

Although I have known for a long time that the brain circuits of house-elves are rather peculiar, I did not expect

Five minutes later, Dudley came out of the kitchen with a bucket of fried chicken and sauerkraut sausages.

"so much."

Hermione looked at the pile of food in surprise and said, "You ransacked the kitchen?"

"It's very welcoming inside."

Dudley didn't want to delve into this issue, so he changed the subject: "Eat something while it's hot, it's time to go to rest later."

After a while, it will be Hogwarts' break time. If you wander around the castle at this point, if you are caught by the administrator Filch, you will be put in confinement.

Although Dudley's Night Tour has never been caught by him.

After a while, the two wiped out the huge pile of food. To be precise, most of it went into Dudley's stomach.

First, Hermione walked to the door of the Gryffindor lounge. Dudley didn't go back directly to the Slytherin lounge, but found a window at random, climbed to the outer wall of the castle, and then climbed up the spire of the castle.

You should exercise after eating, Dudley hasn't done his evening exercise yet.

Different from the early morning exercise, this time Dudley's body, legs, and wrists all burst out with golden sparks.

Ripple Qigong.

During the day it's pure physical exercise, while at night it's Ripple Qigong practice.

Day after day, year after year, every day.

At this point, Hermione had returned to the Gryffindor lounge.

"Where did you go?"

As soon as Hermione arrived in the lounge, she attracted the attention of many Gryffindors in the lounge.

It was true that Gryffindor did not notice her and Dudley when they left, but it was Hermione after all, the little witch who likes to raise her hand to answer questions and earn points for Gryffindor, unlike Dudley who was taken by Slater. Lin collectively selectively 'forgotten'. It was somewhat unaccustomed for Gryffindor to suddenly not hear the phrase 'Gryffindor points' for a whole class, and Hermione was naturally remembered.

"I can't believe it, Hermione, I heard you skipped class."

It was Cormac McLaggen who was speaking, a Gryffindor senior who was a year older than Hermione, looking at Hermione with an exaggerated tone and said.

"I don't think we know each other well enough to call each other by first name, Mr. McLaggen."

Hermione didn't give the other party even a little bit of a good look, and said coldly.

"Okay, Miss Know-It-All."

The title of Miss Know-it-All sounds pretty good at first glance, knowing everything, but it's actually more of a sarcasm.

Hermione has a not-so-good habit. When encountering a problem, she will not go straight to the point, but will carefully explain everything she knows from the beginning to the end, and then point out your mistakes very straightforwardly. place.

Know-it-all alludes to her being talkative and annoying.

"I just kindly came here to remind you, don't go astray, if I were you, I would pay more attention."

"If you continue like this, no one in Gryffindor will like you, no!"

It is not without reason that he would say this. Hermione and Dudley are very close. The two often go to the Hogwarts library together to prove it. .

The important thing - Dudley was a Slytherin.

The impulsive and stupid Gryffindors don't care about your reasons. In their view, as a Gryffindor, you should keep a distance from Slytherin and draw a clear line. If you don't draw a clear line, you will be a betrayer.

As for Harry?That was different, Dudley was Harry's cousin, and Harry was special.

He's the savior, he's Saint Potter.

Double standards are what every carbon-based creature likes to do.

Of course, not all Gryffindors are directed at Hermione, there are just stupid, obnoxious, self-righteous ones everywhere, and there are plenty of them.

Hermione doesn't care about this, she is a very independent little witch, she always does things in her own way, especially this is not gregarious. This is also the reason why she is not welcomed by Gryffindor, even though she has won a lot of points for the college , however. They don't care.

It was nothing at first, until recently Hermione's things in the lounge were often lost inexplicably, for example, she got up this morning and looked for her shoes for a long time, but fortunately she brought a lot of them.

But she never told Dudley any of this.

In fact, this phenomenon is very normal in Hogwarts. After all, where there are people, there will be 'contradictions' or bullying.

This phenomenon exists whether it is a school for ordinary people or a school for magic, but in Hogwarts most of the time the contradictions are transferred to other colleges, such as Snape and James, but this situation is in their own In fact, internal colleges also happen, such as Luna who will be assigned to Ravenclaw College a year later.

Cormac said and looked around, and the Gryffindors all laughed very cooperatively, the laughter was so piercing.

Only Neville, who was sitting in the corner with his arms wrapped in bandages, his lips trembling slightly, seemed to be trying to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Personally, I am very opposed to campus bullying. Maybe your unintentional actions will make others heal in a lifetime.

Chapter 63 63. Skip classes during the day and go out at night (asking for tickets, crying)

Chirp)

"Ron, are Dean and Seamus asleep?"

At around 11:30 in the evening, Harry suddenly sat up in bed and whispered to Ron who was sleeping in the bed next to him.

Not everyone can occupy a room alone like Dudley, and Harry lived in a four-person room in Gryffindor.

Didn't Harry get into an argument with Malfoy again during flying lessons during the day and chase him on his broomstick?

As a result, the two were in the air, chasing after each other for a long time without a winner, and finally died because of Mrs. Huo Qi.

When get out of class was over, Malfoy had a vicious 'arrangement' with Harry. The time was midnight, and the appointment was in the prize showroom.

Because the agreed time was in the middle of the night, the two of them fell asleep early after dinner, which coincided with Hermione's return time.

Harry didn't know about Hermione's situation in Gryffindor, and Hermione didn't even mention these things to Dudley, so Harry naturally didn't know.

as he himself observed

You can't expect a straight guy like Harry to notice such details.

And all he's been thinking about lately is Malfoy, ahem, exactly how to kick Malfoy's ass with his boot.

The two put on their clothes secretly, walked out of the dormitory in the dark, and tried to get out of the lounge through the moonlight outside the window.

As a result, Ron accidentally bumped into the table next to the fireplace, making a loud noise.

"Who?"

A voice suddenly appeared in the silent room, which startled the two of them, thinking it was some strange thing coming out, they almost hugged each other.

It wasn't until the two finally regained their senses that they realized that it was Hermione.

"Hermione? Why are you here?"

Harry asked curiously.

Because of what happened at night, Hermione didn't really want to go back to the dormitory. Cormac's words reminded her that she didn't know who did what happened in the dormitory in the morning, but someone must have done it.Originally, she wanted to lie on the sofa in the lounge and read a book. Maybe she was too tired from playing in the Forbidden Forest during the day. Anyway, Hermione fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.

"Where are you going?"

After Hermione came to her senses, she didn't answer Harry first, but asked rhetorically.

She herself could say that she fell asleep reading too late, but what were Harry and Ron doing up so late?

Relying on the moonlight outside the window, he looked up and down and found that they were not wearing pajamas.

"You want a night tour?"

Hermione saw through the intentions of the two, and said in surprise: "I can't believe it, you guys want to go out in the middle of the night?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Afraid that Hermione would wake up the others, Ron said hastily.

Hermione ignored Ron and stared at Harry: "Don't you know that doing this will make Gryffindor lose points? And you want to give up the House Cup to Slytherin?"

"I can't let you do this."

Hermione stopped the two of them and blocked the way out with her hands. Even though she was isolated, she was still working hard to protect the interests of her college, even if no one cared.

"You are violating school rules!"

If it was someone else, Harry would definitely not respond. The problem is that Hermione and Hermione have a pretty good relationship, and Hedwig was given to him by Hermione and Dudley.He also knew that Dudley and Hermione were very close, so close that even he was a little uncomfortable.

'Obviously my brother. '

Of course, it's just a little uncomfortable.

Do you want to break the appointment?

It seems that it is not impossible, anyway, Malfoy can beat him anytime.

So he wavered.

However, Ron's attitude at this time was extremely firm, and he retorted without showing any weakness: "Didn't you violate the school rules yourself? Don't think I don't know. I saw you skipping class with my own eyes this afternoon."

As soon as this remark came out, Hermione was instantly speechless, and her stomach full of rhetoric was stuck in her throat. It was indeed true that she skipped class this afternoon.

Although she can explain that even if she is discovered, she can get back the lost points, but she can't be too double-standard.

I can't say I can, but you can't, can you?That's too unconvincing.

Dudley had told her that to be convinced you had to lead by example.
