Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

It has a square, furry cover, four big, round, bright yellow eyes, and a row of sharp teeth with exposed gums.

It's more like some kind of monster than a book.

But Dudley recognized it as a book at first glance.

Because there are several eye-catching large gold-plated fonts engraved on its body - "The Monster Book of Monsters".

Although he knew that Harry Potter had magical powers and he longed for that magical world, it was the first time he saw such a scene, or it could be said that this was the first time Dudley had come into contact with anything related to magic since he came into this world.

If Shinji Matou's magus physique is also counted, then it would be the second time.

Just as Dudley was stunned, the strange book seemed to have discovered Dudley, gave up chasing the cats, turned around and pounced towards Dudley with its sharp teeth bared.

When Xue'er saw this, all the hair on her body stood up and her whole body became fluffy. She blew air at the strange book and let out a loud scream.

It is a warning against strange books.

Unfortunately, Xueer’s threats were useless, and the monster book still pounced directly towards Dudley.

Cher was very afraid of the strange book, but she still stayed at Dudley's feet, and stretched out the sharp claws hidden under her pads, ready to fight to the death.

"Hey, how do we deal with this thing? Cast a spell? But I don't know how."

Dudley tried to find a solution to the problem, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a cat lying on the ground, motionless.

It’s the fourth cat, Titti.

Was Kikki injured or dead?

Whatever the case, it must have been this weird book that did it.

Dudley has always liked cats, and after spending some time with them, he loves the four cats even more.

Anger welled up in my heart.

"Forget it, I'll just use my own method." Dudley rolled up his sleeves.

Looking at the strange book approaching, he took a step forward and punched it.

With lightning speed and incredible precision, he hit the strange book.

There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the sound was like a strong man taking a hammer and smashing it hard on the ground, shaking the whole room slightly.

Then the world became quiet.

It was with this punch that Dudley instantly killed the guy who claimed to be the strongest boxer in all the high schools in England.

Dudley slowly withdrew his fist from the cover of the strange book, and the strange book lay quietly there, without any movement.

"Let me see if you can be more fierce?" Dudley pinched the spine of the strange book with one hand and shook it.

At this time, the strange book had become very obedient and soft, with two ribbon-like tongues sticking out of its mouth.

If that was really a tongue.

"You won't be killed by your own punch, will you?"

Seeing the strange book motionless, Dudley couldn't help but think.

"I remember I used only 30% of my strength."

'If this thing really dies, how am I going to compensate it?'

Just as Dudley was daydreaming, a scream came from outside the door.

"Oh my Merlin what on earth is happening?"

Mrs. Figg ran in in a panic, holding a vegetable basket in her hand. Looking at the messy room as if a thief had broken into it, her expression changed slightly and she asked Dudley.

"Dudley, what happened?"

There was more doubt and questioning in his tone.

To be honest, Mrs. Figg's attitude is already very good.

Imagine that you agreed to help your neighbor look after their children, and even trusted him enough to give him a key to your house, but one day when you came home you found him in the room that you had locked, and the room was in a mess.

If it were you, what would you think?

At least if it were Vernon, he would definitely not be so calm.

"Mrs. Figg, I thought there was a thief in the house." Dudley shook the strange book in his hand: "This guy killed Titti."

Mrs. Figg pointed at a cat that happened to be passing by and asked in confusion, "Isn't Titie doing fine there?"

In fact, when she saw the 'Monster Book of Monsters' in Dudley's hand, her pupils shrank slightly and her heartbeat quickened.

'Shit, Titti was just pretending to be dead.'

Just when Dudley was at a loss, not knowing how to organize his words to explain, Cher ran to Mrs. Figg's feet with light steps.

“Mimi mimi (first sound) meow meow meow (first sound) miaow miaow (second sound).”

This was a tone of voice that Dudley had never heard before, and he didn't even know that cats were capable of such a variety of tones.

A magical scene happened again.

"So that's how it is, Xueer." As Xueer meowed, Mrs. Figg actually nodded at her from time to time, as if she understood.

Turning around, he said to Dudley with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, kid. I wronged you. Thank you for helping them."

Dudley didn't mind if he apologized or not, the point was

'Mrs. Figg understands what Cher is saying?'

'Do you know cat language?'

'Is Mrs. Figg a witch?'

Dudley's eyes lit up, and then he took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, and at the same time he showed an expression of hesitation and curiosity: "Mrs. Figg, are you and Harry the same kind of people?"

"My parents always call Harry a monster boy. Sometimes he can do things that ordinary people can't do."

"I've heard them call this .magic"

Dudley's words were beyond Mrs. Figg's expectations, but she felt relieved after thinking about it. Growing up with a natural wizard, he must have seen more than one inexplicable magical phenomenon. Magical riots are something every little wizard will experience, not to mention that Dudley is a smart child.

Mrs. Figg thought for a moment and then said, "You are very clever, child."

"Is there really magic?"

"Then can you teach me? I also want to learn magic."

Dudley behaved like a child who had just learned that there was magic in this world, full of desire and curiosity for unknown things.

"I'm sorry, kid. I can't do this."

Mrs. Figg shook her head regretfully: "It doesn't matter if I tell you. You will know it sooner or later anyway. After all, you are the child's brother."

Mrs. Figg took a deep breath and said seriously, "I am the same as Harry, but different."

For the first time, someone told Dudley about the magic of this world. With Mrs. Figg's narration, information about the magical world that was originally impossible to obtain gradually appeared before Dudley's eyes.

A fascinating magical world.

In the world of "Harry Potter", people can be roughly divided into three types: wizards, Muggles and Squibs.

There is no need to say much about wizards. They are spellcasters and wizards. The famous Harry Potter is this kind of person.

Muggles are people who have no connection with magic, and the original Dudley Dursley was one of them.

As for Squibs, they are people who were born into wizarding families but cannot learn magic. Mrs. Figg is a Squib, a type of person that is different from both wizards and Muggles.

But unlike real Muggles, they cannot cast spells, but they have some special features compared to ordinary Muggles.

One of them is Mrs. Figg's ability to communicate with cats, which some wizards do not possess.

PS: It is true that Mrs. Figg is a Squib, but the Squibs in this world are not the same as Muggles. Compared to Muggles, they still have many magical abilities, but they just cannot cast magic.

For example, Muggles cannot see Dementors, but Mrs. Figg can. In addition, Mrs. Figg was originally a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and she kept cats to use them as spies.

Chapter 10 Activating the Magician's Talent? (New Book Period Vote Request)

"I can't perform magic. So I can't teach you magic."

Mrs. Figg put the basket aside and sat in front of Dudley and said regretfully.

Dudley could hear a deep sense of loss in these words.

Being born in the magical world but not being able to learn magic can no longer be described as a pity.

"Even if I know magic, I can't teach you. You have to go to Hogwarts to learn magic. This is the rule of the wizarding world."

Mrs. Figg began to tidy up the messy room as she spoke.

One cat is already a big deal, but three cats and a monster book are like a huge disturbance in heaven.

"Hogwarts?"

Dudley also started to help sort it out, and at the same time he was wondering whether he should tell Mrs. Figg about the current situation of the monster book.

I shouldn't have to pay for it myself, right?

What currency do wizards use? Some kind of gold coin, I think.

"Yes, it is the best magic school in the world." Mrs. Figg immediately became excited when Hogwarts was mentioned.

"Harry will definitely study there in the future."

His tone was full of longing.

Dudley was also fascinated by what he heard. He really wanted to learn magic.

"Then can I go to Hogwarts too?" Dudley asked inexplicably.

Mrs. Figg shook her head. "I don't know, child."

She expected Dudley to ask this. No child would not be fascinated by magic after learning about it.

In fact, Mrs. Figg also knew that there was a high probability that Dudley would not be able to go to Hogwarts.

Muggles and Muggle children are basically still Muggles.

The large number of Muggle wizards is based on the huge Muggle base.

It's not one in a million, but it's pretty close.

Pick any Muggle child at random and the chance that he or she is a Muggle wizard is no less than the chance of winning the lottery.

As the two chatted casually, the room was quickly tidied up.

"Alright, kid. I'm going to go get dinner ready. Harry will be out of school soon."

When Mrs. Figg was about to close the door of the room, Dudley took out a black-covered book from somewhere.

"Mrs. Figg, can I read this book?"

"Magic Pharmacies and Potions", a few big words were written on the cover.

This is the textbook for the first year Potions class at Hogwarts.

The author is Arsene Giger, a wizard who is very good at making potions.

As to why a Squib would have magic books in his home.

If she can’t learn it, can’t she just buy it and try?

What if Mrs. Figg's magical talent awakens one day?

There is no rule against this, Squibs cannot buy books on magic.

So that makes sense.

As for the monster book, that was an accident.

"Please."

"I really want to learn magic."

Dudley said quickly before Mrs. Figg could refuse.

He said this from the bottom of his heart; he really longed for magic.
