Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

They are the lowest class in the magic world.

Therefore, in order to survive, Squibs often travel between the Muggle world and the wizarding world, and are the people in the magical world that Muggles are most likely to come into contact with.

After all, those wizards who claim to be superior will never look Muggles in the eye.

The attendant's appearance was the best among the group of Squibs, but even so, his clothes looked greasy and dirty.

Except for a few Squibs like Mrs. Figg, don't expect most Squibs to be hygienic. They refuse to use Muggle laundry detergents and cleaning agents, but they don't know how to cast wizard "clean as a new" spells.

There is only one word to describe it: sloppy.

At least the wizards have Hogsmeade village, but the Squibs don't have that much power, so they can only live in houses built by Muggles.

As he passed a room, Dudley heard a few words coming from inside. Words like magic, quick success, and so on were all spoken.

The servant led Dudley with a flattering look into the deepest room in the house.

That was the agreed transaction location.

Dadley is their big client, so naturally they have to serve him with great care.

Inside the room, there were several Squibs who had been waiting there for a long time. After Dudley entered the room, they all stood up and looked at him with flattering looks on their faces.

"Where are the things?" Dudley went straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.

The main reason is that the smell here is too bad. As a person with a normal sense of smell or even better than ordinary people, he doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Dear Mr. Gargamel, this is what you requested."

A Squib who looked a little cleaner in the room handed a small satchel to Dudley.

Dudley took the small bag and opened it to have a look. The bag had obviously been cast with an Invisible Extension Charm. The space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside, but the space was extremely limited and could only hold a few more things.

Some common medicinal herbs well-known in the magic world, such as jumping root, gill grass, bad blood, lovage, sneezeweed, etc., are neatly placed in glass bottles, in addition to several magic books.

'It's enough for me to use for a while.'

Dudley took a quick look and although the quality of these potions was not top-notch, they were not too bad either.

The main reason is that he can't go to the wizarding world to buy them, so it's good enough that he can get these.

"The stuff is fine, but next time I hope to get some rarer materials. For example, fire ash snake eggs, jumping mushroom hats, giant monster snot, slug grass, African tree snake skin, etc."

"The things you mentioned are not easy to get." The Squib said this first, then rubbed his fingers and said: "But if the price is right, it's no problem. Since you are satisfied with the things this time, take a look."

The Squib was just talking casually. Many of the materials Dudley wanted were contraband, which were difficult to obtain even for normal wizards, let alone them.

In fact, Dudley also wanted some Bicorn horn powder, but that thing was a banned item among banned items, and it was unlikely that Squib would get it.

"As long as you can get it for me, money is not a problem."

Dudley said as he placed the small bag on the table and poured it out.

The group of duds in the room stared with their eyes wide open, staring at him in unison, their eyes full of greed.

Under the dim light, it was bright and golden, blinding the eyes.

It's all gold inside.

The currency that Dudley and Squib traded in naturally could not be pounds, they only accepted gold.

It’s not that Squibs are antiques, but because gold can barely be used as currency in the wizarding world.

If there were no philosopher's stone turning everything into gold to disrupt the market, gold would be hard currency.

After all, one of the main raw materials of gold galleons is gold.

In fact, Gringotts in the wizarding world does provide a service of exchanging pounds for gold Galleons. 5 pounds can be exchanged for 1 Galleon, but the annual limit is 1 gold Galleons, and it is only available to young wizards studying at Hogwarts.

Ordinary people simply cannot make a profit by taking advantage of the price difference loophole. Don’t think that those goblins are stupid. Their desire and greed for money is far beyond your imagination.

Even if you exchange this bag of gold at Gringotts, you can only get a pitiful amount of gold Galleons.

Galleons are gold, but gold is not equal to Galleons. The goblins need to perform special processing and numbering.

Excluding the cost of magic materials, the Squibs only earn a hard-earned buck, while the bulk of the profits go to the goblins.

I have to say that the wizards are really thick-skinned. They actually handed over their own economic lifeline to a defeated race.

"Pleasant to work with."

Dudley was in a good mood after getting a small bag of Traceless Stretching Charm for free. Without even looking at the gold on the table, he put the bag away carefully and said to the Squib.

Now he is not short of money, but only of potion materials.

He also discovered that as long as the potion was prepared well, it was actually not much worse than that of an ordinary wizard.

The power of some potions is actually quite extraordinary.

"Happy cooperation." Needless to say, the Dummies were very happy to get the gold.

As for robbing Dudley and getting the potion materials back, they had never thought about it at all. As Squibs, it was of no use to them to have the potion materials, and it was not easy to find someone as generous as Dudley these days.

If you offend him, the loss will be huge.

Besides, the squib can't cast spells, so what can he use to rob? Hand-to-hand combat?

Looking at Dudley's unremarkably sturdy body, any thoughts he had originally had were extinguished.

Dudley walked out of the alley and soon got in a car at the agreed location. The driver then drove to a property, which was a place Dudley bought specifically for storing potions. There was still some time before noon, so he had to put his things away first.

There is no need to let Penny and the others who dislike magic see it for the time being.

At least it's not the time yet.

Chapter 17: The Mysterious Disappearance of Glass in the Reptile House (Please pay attention to the new book)

It was almost twelve o'clock when Dudley returned to number four, Privet Drive.

"Oh my God, my baby, why did you come back just now? We have to hurry." When Petunia saw Dudley, she immediately asked him to change his clothes.

They hurried out of the house and got into Vernon's newly bought car, and the family of four hurried towards the zoo.

The Dursleys lived quite a distance from the zoo, and even by car it would take at least an hour and a half.

Harry was very excited along the way. He was actually looking forward to going to the zoo. The last time they went out was this time last year.

Because the weather was sunny and it was the weekend, there were unexpectedly many people in the zoo, and it was packed with families.

Especially at the entrance, it was so crowded that I saw a bunch of bipeds before I saw any animals.

After entering the park, Vernon bought an ice cream for each of them, Dudley's was the most expensive chocolate flavor, and Harry's was the cheapest lemon flavor.

Dudley swapped his ice cream with Harry's, saying he didn't want chocolate.

In fact, Dudley's favorite flavor is chocolate.

Penny just opened her mouth but didn't stop them, and even stopped her husband. Finally, she looked at the two of them arm in arm and shook her head helplessly.

Yes, they look exactly like her and Lily when they were kids.

But even the closest sisters will eventually become familiar strangers.

Their paths are always different.

It was said that peacocks would appear in the bird zoo today, but several people waited there for a long time and didn't see a peacock feather. Instead, they saw a white owl hiding among the leaves, looking stupid and sleeping.

"Look, it's so stupid and feels silly." Harry said, pointing at the owl.

Owls are nocturnal carnivores, small birds of prey, and usually come out at night. Normal owls sleep during the day, and I don't know why wizards' owls are different, sleeping at night.

Dudley suddenly had an idea and asked, "Does Harry want to keep an owl in the future?"

"You must be joking." Harry shook his head like a rattle. "I'd rather raise a carrier pigeon."

In the mammal park, the lions and tigers were not very interesting. They were fat and lying on the spot, yawning, too lazy to even move. Dudley estimated that he could kick them out like a ball with a sliding tackle.

There are no pandas, no pandas, no pandas. This important thing must be emphasized three times. There is not a single giant panda in the park, which makes Dudley feel a little regretful.

This feeling of loss continued until Dudley watched a gorilla scratching its head through the glass. The gorilla mistook Dudley for his companion and kept gesturing on the other side of the glass to try to communicate with Dudley, as if asking, "How did you get out? Come and help me."

In terms of physique, Dudley looks more muscular than the average gorilla, and with his strong muscles, he does look somewhat like a gorilla.

Seeing Dudley making funny gestures at the other party, Harry laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

Every Dudley's birthday was Harry's happiest day, even happier than his own birthday. After all, Dudley was the only one who remembered his birthday, and he could only receive gifts from Dudley.

Vernon was really hungry because he didn't have lunch, so they ate something in the park. Vernon had a hot dog and happy water, Petunia had some French fries, and Dudley and Harry had hamburgers.

Next is the reptile house, which is cold and dark, and is full of reptiles.

There are insects such as large spiders and large centipedes, as well as cold-blooded animals such as lizards and snakes.

Dudley didn't like it here very much, he preferred furry creatures to cold, slippery reptiles. That gorilla outside was better than these reptiles.

Harry was particularly interested in the reptile house. He would look at the giant wolf spider with its fangs bared and a ferocious look on its face, and then he would lie on the glass and stare at the chameleon inside that was even more dull than an owl.

However, the most numerous species in the reptile house were snakes, with poisonous and non-venomous species sorted out in different categories before Harry's eyes.

Dudley obviously felt that Harry was more interested in snakes than lizards. He lay in front of the glass of the largest brown python in the museum and whispered to the python inside: "Hey, buddy."

To outsiders, this scene looked like children talking to themselves, but Dudley knew that they were having a real conversation.

Young Harry was not quite aware of his own extraordinary ability and thought that many people had this ability.

However, this is a unique ability that Harry possesses.

'Witness the Snake Old Tune: Gain LV0 Magical Animal Language.'

The pleasant prompt tone of the system sounded in Dudley's ears.

"A nice reward." Dudley whistled and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This is why Dudley had to make time to come to the zoo, not just because Harry had a mission to complete.

Moreover, this is a rare witness reward. Including this time, Dali has only obtained it twice in total. The last time he obtained it was the LV5 ability called "Iron Mountain Backing".

Now you have obtained a LV0 magical animal language.

Magical Animal Language, as the name suggests, Dudley thought it was a general term for animals in the magical world, which meant that he would be able to communicate with magical creatures in the future.

It doesn’t matter whether it is LV0 or not, the initial level of all skills is this. At least this item appears in the ability column, which means it can be upgraded through experience points.

But it would be nice if it was a magic reward, um. Fantastic Beasts. Can it count?

At this time, a loud scream was heard in the museum. It turned out that the glass in front of the giant python disappeared. The giant python quickly stretched out its coiled body, twisted its body, slowly crawled out of the cupboard, and slipped to the floor.

At that moment, screams and curses rang out at the same time. People in the museum turned around and ran away, fearing that they would be entangled by the other party if they ran too slowly. The entire reptile museum was in chaos.

When the giant python slid past Harry, there was a noticeable pause, then it turned its head and nodded at Harry in a humane way, sticking out its forked tongue and making a hissing sound.

It seemed to be saying goodbye to Harry, as if it was not a snake but a person.

Then, before other staff members arrived, he quickly twisted his body and passed through the crowd and disappeared into the museum, in stark contrast to his previous appearance of lying lazily in the cabinet without moving.

In the end, it was not known whether the park staff caught the giant python. However, not long after, a man who claimed to be the manager of the park came over to apologize to everyone.

Dudley's birthday was spent in such a thrilling environment.

Chapter 18 Is This My Letter? (New Book Season Request)

A month passed in a flash, and the "mysterious disappearance of the glass incident" in the Reptile House was naturally blamed on Harry. After all, there were too many strange things happening around him since he was a child.

Actually, it’s not to blame, it was Harry’s fault.

For this, the Dursleys gave Harry the most severe punishment. They forbade him to eat bacon for a week, deprived him of the right to drink soda, and only allowed him to eat fish and chips.

Harry had a sad face and looked depressed.

In fact, fish and chips are not really that bad. They were quite delicious when I ate them for the first time.

but.

Whenever you feel too lazy to cook, Penny will serve you this dish, and over time you won't find it delicious anymore.

The dry cod, which had been frozen for too long and had no taste at all, paired with dry French fries, was definitely a dish that was hard to swallow.
