Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

"Unfortunately, most wizards have little interest in this type of potion."

For wizards, increasing strength is meaningless to them. Slight magic enhancement potions or magic enhancement potions are the best choice.

But this thing is exactly what Dudley needs, so after picking it more carefully.

The potion material is obtained from mushrooms.

"A little girl picking mushrooms, carrying a big basket on her back"

"One, two, three, four, five, five, five, five, six, seven, eight."

Dudley, in a good mood, began to hum a song unconsciously, and worked even harder to pull Hermione along as they walked and picked up potions.

The two of them slowly walked through a small forbidden forest, and by the time they reacted, the moon was already hanging on the branches.

'Oops! '

Dudley suddenly thought of something and was shocked.

'We missed dinner!'

Chapter 62 Hermione, you actually skipped class?

"Dudley, is this really okay?"

Hermione's little face was flushed, and she looked around nervously, afraid that someone would suddenly appear.

“This is my first time.”

He kept looking down and fiddling with the corner of his clothes.

"Although this is my first time, don't worry."

Dudley pounded his chest.

"Believe me, I'm very strong in this area."

"But what if we get caught?" Hermione hesitated and looked very conflicted. After all, it was her first time doing this. "Why not just forget it?"

This is like skipping class, it's so exciting.

"Don't worry, it will be quick. I'll be out in a moment."

Seeing that Hermione was very hesitant, Dudley gave her a shot of encouragement: "Hermione, you don't want to..."

"It's uncomfortable to be hungry in the middle of the night, right?"

'Cuckoo.'

As soon as he finished speaking, someone's stomach rumbled at the perfect time.

Hermione's face turned even redder.

"I'll be right back. Wait for me."

Dudley said as he strode into the Hogwarts kitchens next to the Hufflepuff common room.

The moment Dudley stepped into the kitchen, the kitchen, which had been noisy with clanging sounds, suddenly became quiet.

"Dear little wizard, how can I help you?"

A respectful voice sounded from beneath Dudley's body.

Dudley leaned down and saw a humanoid creature standing at his feet with a respectful look on his face.

It was a short, thin creature, seemingly just skin and bones, with tennis ball-sized eyes, big bat-like ears, and although it might not be polite to think so, its nose did resemble Snape's.

If I had to say what it resembled in Dudley's memory, it would probably be a malnourished goblin with normal skin color.

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

Of course, they are somewhat similar to the goblins in Gringotts, but the goblins have sharp teeth.

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

It is worth mentioning that house-elves themselves possess very strong magical powers, and even many adult wizards who are not good at fighting are no match for them.

According to "A History of Hogwarts", the kitchens at Hogwarts are all run by house-elves.

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

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

"Do you think the food we cook is not delicious?"

The house-elf said tremblingly, and then banged his head against the wall, making a 'dong dong' sound.

"Bad zipper, bad zipper. The food you made is hard for the little wizard to swallow."

Dudley shouted, "Stop."

Although I already knew that house elves have peculiar thinking patterns, I never expected

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 asked, "Did you ransack the kitchen?"

“It’s quite welcoming inside.”

Dudley didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject: "Eat it while it's hot. We should go to bed soon."

It will be break time at Hogwarts soon. If you wander around the castle at this time, you will be caught by the caretaker Filch and put in detention.

Although he had never caught Dudley wandering at night.

In a short while, the two of them finished up the huge pile of food, or to be more precise, most of it went into Dudley's stomach.

After taking Hermione to the door of the Gryffindor common room, Dudley did not go directly back to the Slytherin common room. Instead, he found a window, climbed over the castle's outer wall, and then climbed up the castle's spire.

You should exercise well after dinner. Dudley hasn't done his evening exercise yet.

Unlike the morning exercises, this time, golden electric sparks burst out from Dudley's body, legs and wrists.

Ripple Qigong.

During the day it is pure physical exercise, while at night it is the practice of Ripple Qigong.

Day after day, year after year, every day is like this.

At this time, Hermione had returned to the Gryffindor common room.

"Where have you been?"

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

When she and Dudley left, they did not attract the attention of Gryffindor, but that was Hermione after all, the little witch who loved to raise her hand to answer questions and earn points for Gryffindor. Unlike Dudley who was selectively "forgotten" by the Slytherins, the Gryffindors were somewhat uncomfortable after not hearing the words "extra points for Gryffindor" for the entire class, so Hermione was naturally remembered.

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

The speaker was Cormac McLaggen, a Gryffindor senior who was one year older than Hermione, and he was looking at Hermione in an exaggerated tone.

"I don't think we know each other well enough to call each other by 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 may sound good at first, as if she knows everything, but it is actually more of a sarcastic remark.

Hermione has a not-so-good habit. When she encounters a problem, she often won't get straight to the point. Instead, she will explain everything she knows in detail from beginning to end, and then point out your mistakes very directly.

The know-it-all implies that she is talkative and annoying.

"I just came here to kindly remind you not to go astray. If I were you, I would be more careful."

"If you keep going on like this, no one in Gryffindor will like you, no one!"

There was a reason why he said that. Hermione and Dudley were very close, as evidenced by the fact that they often went in and out of the Hogwarts library together. But as a little wizard, it didn't matter what he did, as he could be with whoever he wanted.

The important thing is - Dudley is a Slytherin.

The impulsive and stupid Gryffindors don't care what your reasons are. In their opinion, as a Gryffindor, you should keep a distance from Slytherin and draw a clear line between them. If you don't draw a clear line between them, you are a traitor.

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

He is the savior, he is Saint Potter.

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

Of course, not all Gryffindors were targeting Hermione, but there were stupid, annoying and self-righteous people everywhere, and there were quite a few of them.

Hermione didn't care about it. She was a very opinionated little witch. She always did things her own way and was not sociable. This was especially true for her. This was why she was not welcomed by Gryffindor, even though she won a lot of points for the college. However, they didn't care.

It was nothing at first, until recently, the things Hermione put in the lounge were often lost inexplicably. For example, she searched for her shoes for a long time when she got up this morning, but luckily she brought extra ones.

But she had never told Dudley any of this.

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

This phenomenon exists in both ordinary schools and magic schools, but in Hogwarts, most of the conflicts are transferred to other colleges, such as Snape and James. However, this situation also occurs in the college itself, such as Luna who will be assigned to Ravenclaw in a year.

As Cormac spoke, he looked around, and the Gryffindors all laughed in unison, a laughter that was so harsh.

Only Neville, who was sitting in the corner with a bandage on his arm, had his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something very hard, but in the end he said nothing.

I personally am very opposed to school bullying. Perhaps your unintentional actions will take others a lifetime to heal.

Chapter 63: Skipping classes during the day and going out at night (seeking votes, crying)

"Ron, are Dean and Seamus asleep?"

At about half past eleven at night, 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 by themselves like Dudley, so Harry lived in a four-person room in Gryffindor.

During the daytime flying lesson, didn't Harry quarrel with Malfoy again and chase him on his broomstick?

As a result, the two of them chased each other in the air for most of the day but there was no winner, and finally the battle ended in failure because of Madam Huo Qi.

After class, Malfoy fiercely challenged Harry to a fight at midnight in the trophy display room.

Because the agreed time was in the middle of the night, they went to bed early after dinner, which just happened to be the time Hermione would come back.

Harry didn't know about Hermione's situation in Gryffindor. Hermione didn't even tell Dudley about it, so Harry naturally didn't know either.

As for what he himself observed

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

And lately his mind has been full of Malfoy, ahem, to be more precise, how to kick Malfoy's ass with his boots.

The two of them secretly put on their clothes, groped their way out of the dormitory in the dark, and tried to walk out of the lounge using the moonlight outside the window.

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

"Who?"

A voice suddenly came out of the silent room, scaring both of them. They thought something strange had appeared and almost hugged each other.

When the two finally came to their senses, they realized it was Hermione.

"Hermione? Why are you here?"

Harry asked curiously.

Because of what happened in the evening, Hermione didn't want to go back to the dormitory. Cormier's words reminded her that she didn't know who in the dormitory did what happened 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 did not answer Harry first, but asked back.

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

With the help of the moonlight outside the window, I looked them up and down and found that they were not wearing pajamas.

"You guys want to go on a night tour?"

Hermione saw through their intentions and said in surprise, "I can't believe you guys want to go out so late at night?"
