Hermione heard that Slytherin was the worst of the four colleges, where a bunch of bad guys gathered, and she was worried that Dudley would be taught badly and even more worried that he would be bullied; while Harry was worried that Dudley would beat up all the Slytherins and then be punished by the school. As for Dudley being bullied, Harry said that was impossible, and he was thankful that he didn't bully others.
Dumbledore stood up, looked at the little wizards below with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms to them as if he wanted to hug everyone.
"Welcome to Hogwarts!"
"Before the party begins, I want to say a few words. They are: 'Fools! Crybabies! Scum! Twist!' Thank you all!"
After saying a few words in a mysterious way, he sat down. The little wizards looked at each other in bewilderment. As he finished speaking, all kinds of delicious food appeared on the table instantly.
I have to say that everything tastes delicious when you are hungry, and the cooking skills of the Hogwarts kitchen are much better than many London restaurants.
Dudley, who was already starving, ignored the surprised looks of the Slytherin little wizards around him, and picked up the nearest food and began to devour it.
He has been hungry for a long time.
Hearing the +1 system notification sound ringing from time to time, Dudley ate even harder.
Hogwarts food, or the experience of the wizarding world, is more than ordinary food, Dudley had already noticed it when he was on the express train.
Is this the magic of magic?
'Look, that big dumb guy eats like a savage, with no grace, no table manners. '
There was a whisper of discussion.
"I really don't know why the Sorting Hat put him in Slytherin. He is vulgar and barbaric. He doesn't have any Slytherin characteristics."
'I should write to my father and tell him to go to Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, which is the best place for someone like him.'
'.'
Most of those who were talking were in the first and second grades. No one participated above the third grade, but they did not stop them. They just watched coldly.
Dali, who has been practicing Ripple Qigong for many years, has much sharper senses than wizards. He can naturally hear what they are saying, but he still chews as usual.
'Why should I, Dudley Dursley, explain anything I do to anyone?'
Besides, food is something that should be eaten in any way that makes you feel comfortable. The so-called table manners mentioned by these people have no practical meaning other than wasting time. The highest etiquette is to cherish food and eat it all without wasting it.
The result was that Dudley alone cleared half of the food on the Slytherin table.
'Oh my god, how many servings did he eat? '
So when Dudley arrived at Hogwarts on the first day, he was given a mocking title such as "Slytherin's Beggar".
However, everyone's attention was focused on Dudley's eating manner, and no one noticed that there was not a single speck of food oil on Dudley's face or hands from beginning to end.
This doesn't just mean that he doesn't waste anything, he is practicing. For Dudley, eating is also a form of practice. Just as Dudley won't waste a single bit of food, he won't waste a single bit of time either. His time is very valuable.
Dudley was not an idiot who just ate without thinking. He kept analyzing the conversation he had with the Sorting Hat in his mind.
The Sorting Hat's words can be simply summarized as follows: Slytherin's will chose you, you are the chosen one.
Just believe it? Dudley scoffed at this. He only knew that he was a Muggle wizard on the surface, and Slytherin hated Muggle wizards, so Dudley only believed one point of the Sorting Hat's explanation.
And Dudley remembered what Xun Geer said: "Never trust anything that can think independently unless you see clearly where it hides its brain."
As for the specific reason, there is too little information to analyze it for the time being. It is possible that it is the Sorting Hat's bad taste, but the possibility is about one in ten thousand.
Don't blame Dudley for being suspicious; he was just having some reasonable suspicions.
Ever since the Hagrid incident, Dudley had to be more cautious.
He is not a wizard in the true sense, and from a pessimistic point of view, he may not be able to learn magic in the future, at least the magic in the Harry Potter world is uncertain.
'Power, money, power'
Dudley silently wrote down three words in his mind: power is strength, money is financial resources, and power is influence. These are his future goals. If he wants to live a better life in the magical world, all three are indispensable.
I have to say, if Dudley was a real wizard, some of his traits would be quite consistent with Slytherin House.
"I think everyone should have had their fill now, so I'd like to say a few more words and raise a few points of caution."
Seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Dumbledore said, "First, please note that first-year students are prohibited from entering the forbidden forest outside the castle. Some senior students should also remember this."
As he said this, he glanced specifically at the Gryffindor table.
When it comes to breaking the rules, the first thing people think of is Gryffindor. In fact, Dudley, who is familiar with the biographies of the Big Four, knows that this is not the only thing that is happening. Slytherin is also like this. Otherwise, how could these two brothers become best friends?
Dudley had also been eyeing the Forbidden Forest for a long time; that place was a natural treasure trove of potions, and most importantly, it was free.
"Second, the caretaker, Mr. Filch, asked me to remind everyone not to perform magic in the corridors during class breaks. Third, the review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in joining the house team should contact Madam Hooch."
"Fourth and most important, anyone who does not wish to encounter an accident, a painful and tragic death, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."
"Finally, before we go to bed, let's sing the school song together!"
With the occasional strange note coming from the Gryffindor end, Dudley's first meal at Hogwarts ended.
"Slytherin freshmen, follow me."
I need a B to push the plot forward. Malfoy's early character is most suitable for pushing the plot forward. He is a typical spoiled brat who has forgotten the pain after the wound has healed.
By the way, I actually quite like this character, but that doesn't stop me from giving him a ruthless treatment.
Chapter 41: It’s a pity to offend a Malfoy (Part )
A Slytherin with an indifferent expression stood up from the other end of the long table and whispered to the first-year students. His tone was full of unquestionable command. Dudley heard the other young wizards introduce that this person was the current Slytherin prefect.
The deans of the four major colleges at Hogwarts will select one student with outstanding academic performance from each of the boys and girls starting from the fifth grade, and appoint them as prefects until graduation. They are mainly responsible for guiding new students and the daily management of students from the same grade and college. Of course, they can also deduct points from their own colleges. They are similar to a combination of a counselor and a class monitor.
And this person is the fifth grade class monitor.
The first-year wizards naturally did not dare to disobey the order given by the prefect of their own college. Even Malfoy, who always boasted about how great his father was, followed the prefect obediently.
During this time, a small incident occurred. A young wizard from Slytherin bumped Dudley's shoulder hard when he passed by him. However, his pitiful strength did not have any effect on Dudley. He was obviously hitting Dudley on purpose, but because the force is mutual, he was knocked down instead.
"Are you okay?" Dudley picked him up and brushed the dust off him. "Be careful when you walk."
After saying that, Dudley followed the group without looking back. It was his first time at Hogwarts and also his first time to Slytherin, so he had to memorize the route.
Otherwise it would be embarrassing if you can’t find the way.
"Fabian, you are such a disgrace."
"Why should you show mercy? He has offended a Malfoy."
After Dudley walked away, the other Slytherin little wizards immediately surrounded him, chattering non-stop. They originally wanted them to give Dudley a chance to show off his strength first, after all, this little wizard was the strongest in the third grade except Dudley.
As a result, he failed to show his power and was knocked down instead.
Everyone agreed that Fabien had shown mercy.
Fabien didn't say anything, but just silently looked at where Dudley left and rubbed his shoulder which was still in pain.
Only he knew that there was no mercy at all. He had used all his strength just now, otherwise he would not have felt so much pain.
'It felt like hitting a steel panel.'
'I wish I could play Quidditch with this physique.'
Fabien shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.
It's a pity to offend a Malfoy.
The Malfoy family is quite powerful in the wizarding world and belong to the elite of the upper wizarding society. His father, Lucius Malfoy, not only has a say in the Ministry of Magic and can join the ranks of Ministry officials whenever he wants, but he is also one of the directors of Hogwarts. The most important thing is that he is rich, yes, very rich.
At one point he was known as the richest Malfoy.
To offend him is equivalent to offending the powerful, and in Slytherin, if a young wizard of ordinary status offends the powerful, it is equivalent to offending everyone.
As the house hat said, the Slytherin ethos is completely broken.
The Slytherin common room is located below Hogwarts Castle, in the basement. To be honest, this location is really bad.
Cold and damp are the synonyms of this place. The humidity in the basement is very high. Living in such a place for a long time will have a great impact on the development of the body. Not only will it make the skin worse, it will also easily cause eczema. In more serious cases, it may even cause rheumatoid arthritis.
For Dudley, who has full marks in various subjects, medicine is also within his scope of study, but he has not studied it in depth and has only studied it to the extent of lighting up the skill levels.
Of course, all of the above are just from a scientific perspective. This is Hogwarts.
It's not scientific, but it's magical. Perhaps Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor at Hogwarts, can solve this problem for the young wizards.
According to the description of the class leader, they only needed to pass through the spiral corridor to reach the Slytherin common room.
Dudley secretly memorized all the surroundings. He had not been able to talk to Harry, Hermione and the others since the Sorting. This made Dudley a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have made an appointment with them before the Sorting.
If there is time, let Hedwig send a letter to them.
The relationship between the four houses at Hogwarts was much worse than he had imagined.
Especially the two houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin, the relationship between them is simply mortal enemies. Obviously, there is no big conflict between students, but because of the atmosphere of the house, it becomes a confrontation.
Gryffindor and Slytherin are enemies?
Dudley didn't know when this statement started. All the books he had read recorded it this way, including the famous "A History of Hogwarts".
Everyone only remembers that Gryffindor and Slytherin parted ways because of differences in their ideologies, without mentioning that Gryffindor and Slytherin were once the best of friends, the kind that shared life and death.
"Command!" The stone wall made a mechanical voice without any emotion.
The Slytherin prefect replied in an equally cold tone, "Glory."
The stone wall slowly opened up, revealing the spacious lounge inside.
"Remember the password. If you forget, don't come in again." The prefect ordered the young wizards in a cold tone, and then he walked in first.
The young wizards followed the headmaster into the common room.
The temperature was about two degrees cooler than in the restaurant.
This was Dudley's intuitive feeling, and then he saw the fireplace burning in the center.
If there is no fire, it will be at least ten degrees different from the restaurant.
Then Dudley began to look around. The overall style of the Slytherin lounge was full of mysterious Gothic architectural features, with a mainly dim green color tone, giving people a mysterious feeling.
But this kind of light is not good for the eyes, so I may have to go to another place to read.
The huge arched floor-to-ceiling windows on the surrounding walls exuded a chilly air. From time to time, one could see fish swimming outside through the windows. Outside was the Black Lake, so Slytherin was not allowed to open the windows, and a permanent fixing spell was cast on the windows.
In fact, the Slytherin Common Room was converted from a dungeon, so it is also called the Slytherin Dungeon. Because it is a dungeon, it always makes people feel a little eerie and quiet.
In fact, the common rooms of the four major colleges were all converted. Hufflepuff's was converted from the castle servants' dining place, so it is near the kitchen. Ravenclaw's common room is said to have been converted from the watchtower. As for Gryffindor, their common room was converted from a utility room.
"The boys live over here, and the girls live over there."
The class leader gave a few simple instructions, directed the first-year wizards to the location of the dormitory, and then left in a hurry.
It seems like he doesn't want to stay here any longer.
By the way, none of the senior Slytherin students followed the prefect back. Only the young wizards below the third grade were so obedient.
As soon as the prefect left the common room, Dudley felt dozens of malicious eyes falling on him.
It's obvious what they want to do.
Chapter 42 Bullying Dudley Dursley?
"Hey, Dursley, you big idiot."
"I told you I would make you pay."
Before Dudley could go find the real owner, the real owner couldn't help but jump out.
Malfoy was seen walking out slowly from the crowd, with an undisguised smug look on his face, still with that greasy emphasis that he thought he had nailed.
In fact, he never said the above words. On the train, he ran away in embarrassment without even being able to utter a harsh word.
Crabbe and Goyle followed Malfoy closely, and many young wizards, first-year, second-year and even third-year wizards, formed a circle around them. Of course, not all Slytherins stood on Malfoy's side, but they would not stand on Dudley's side, and would only choose to watch coldly.
Malfoy was very satisfied with this. There were dozens of little wizards gathered around him, while there was only one on the other side. He really liked the feeling of leading everyone.
It would have been difficult if Dudley was in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, but he happened to be in Slytherin.
With absolute advantages in terms of location and people, we don't know how to lose.
"I'm a very generous person. If you're willing to be my follower, let us beat you up to vent our anger, and then teach that Potter a lesson together, I will consider forgiving you," Malfoy raised his chin, his tone very arrogant.
When Potter was mentioned, several eyes that did not belong to the common room fell on Malfoy, and they disappeared in an instant. The senior Slytherin did not follow the prefect back to the common room, but that did not mean they were not in the common room, nor did it mean they were not paying attention to this matter.
