Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

"Kill Voldemort's remaining soul once, and gain"

Dudley did not look closely at the system prompt, but walked into the refining array and picked up the shiny red gem.

It feels cool to the touch and at first glance looks no different from an ordinary ruby.

However, in the eyes of the alchemist, this red philosopher's stone exudes an intoxicating brilliance.

Voldemort is truly worthy of being the ultimate villain in the seven-part HP world trilogy. Just a wisp of his soul can refine such a high-quality Philosopher's Stone.

Don't underestimate this little bit.

In other worlds, sacrificing the people of a city or a country might not be enough to exchange for such a piece of money.

To be honest, if you asked Dudley to sacrifice the lives of a city or a country in exchange for the Philosopher's Stone, he would definitely reject it.

He is not a saint; this is his bottom line as a human being.

But if you want to exchange Voldemort's remaining soul for the Philosopher's Stone, then he will definitely agree with it. From the moment he was rebounded to death by the "love" protective spell, Voldemort was no longer a human being, but a soul that was unwilling to face death and lingered on. Moreover, Voldemort's soul will be destroyed sooner or later, so it is better to make use of it.

"Ok?"

Dudley was about to leave when he suddenly discovered that there was another thing in the center of the alchemy array. This thing was covered with dust, and he would not have noticed it if it were not for the reminder from the Data Eye.

Sweep away the dust above to reveal what's underneath.

It was a deep blue gem the size of a fingernail.

"What is this?"

Dudley picked it up carefully.

Magic Crystal

The system displays the name of this thing.

magic.?

Dudley suddenly realized.

Yes, magic. There is no such thing as magic in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist.

The energy of alchemy does not come from the magic in the alchemist's body, but from the pulse of the earth or something else.

The alchemy array not only transformed Voldemort's residual soul into the Philosopher's Stone, but also transformed the magic power contained in his residual soul into the crystallization of this magic power.

But now is not the time to study these things, Dudley quietly put away the magic crystal.

"Professor Dumbledore, how long are you going to stay there and watch?"

Dudley suddenly turned his head and said to a corner of the room.

"Dudley, you have very keen perceptions."

The Disillusionment Curse was lifted, and Dumbledore revealed his body.

"Then eat less sweets. I can smell the sweet smell of honey on you even from a hundred meters away."

“That’s all I have a hobby of.”

Get Dumbledore to give up sugar?

Then you might as well expect a sow to fly in the sky. Oh, with magic, it is obviously much easier for a sow to fly in the sky.

"Professor, Professor Dumbledore!"

Neville shouted with joy. The reputation of this greatest white wizard of this century was directly proportional to the deterrence of Voldemort. Then Neville pointed at Quirrell, who had turned into a pool of pus, and said excitedly: "Vovo."

"I know, Longbottom, I know."

Dumbledore's voice had some kind of magic that soothed Neville's emotions.

"I think your friend, Miss Granger, and the others are already waiting anxiously outside the room, and Harry had better go check on Madam Pomfrey."

"Can you help me with this?"

"I need to talk to Mr. Dursley about something."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Neville looked at Dudley hesitantly, and when he saw the other nodded at him, he carried Harry on his back and walked out the door.

Before leaving, he handed the Philosopher's Stone to Dudley.

"Is this the Philosopher's Stone? The legendary treasure that can make an elixir of immortality?"

Dudley looked at the gem in his hand which was a different red color than the Philosopher's Stone.

If the Philosopher's Stone is like a brilliant ruby ​​with special effects sped up, then the Sorcerer's Stone is like an unpolished ruby.

"Professor, I remember this gem belonged to Master Nicolas Flamel. I didn't expect it to be in Hogwarts and was almost stolen."

"You should store it well."

As he said this, Dudley returned the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore before his hand was even warm.

Dumbledore kept his eyes on Dudley throughout the whole process, and when he saw that he had no reluctance or lingering feelings, a hint of approval flashed across his eyes.

In fact, Dudley didn't think highly of the Philosopher's Stone.

Isn’t it amazing that the Philosopher’s Stone can turn everything into gold?

The Philosopher's Stone can do the same.

Is it amazing that the Philosopher's Stone can make people immortal?

The Philosopher's Stone can do the same.

Moreover, the Philosopher's Stone can be used to amplify alchemy and ignore equivalent exchange.

For Dudley, the Philosopher's Stone is something he can have, but not something he needs.

"professor."

Dudley's expression turned serious as he spoke, looking directly at Dumbledore: "I think we should discuss a very serious issue."

"Hogwarts is not safe at all right now."

This was the second time Dudley had mentioned this issue.

Chapter 108 Gryffindor is not eligible for the House Cup

At the year-end banquet, young wizards from all grades gathered in the auditorium and sat neatly at the long tables of the four major colleges.

Today is the day to announce the final grades and also the day to announce the final winner of the College Cup.

It is very important for the little wizards at Hogwarts.

Unsurprisingly, the top spot in the grade went to Dudley, followed by Hermione, Harry, Malfoy, Ron and Neville.

The first four did not surprise others and their abilities were obvious to all. However, Ron and Neville were two unexpected dark horses.

The Great Hall was decorated with Slytherin's green and silver to celebrate their seventh consecutive win of the House Cup. On the wall behind the guest of honor, there was a huge banner with a Slytherin snake painted on it.

Not surprisingly, Slytherin crushed the other three houses with absolute advantage and won the house cup.

The current ranking is

Fourth place, Gryffindor, 111 points;

Third place, Hufflepuff, 352 points;

Second place, Ravenclaw, 406 points;

First place, Slytherin, 609 points.

The score of Slytherin alone is almost equal to that of the other three houses combined. This is all thanks to Dudley. He is like a scoring machine and can gain a few points in every class. It's terrifying.

In fact, Gryffindor was not in such a miserable situation. After all, Hermione won them a lot of points. However, they were deducted 200 points by Professor McGonagall for gang fighting and 50 points for attacking classmates. In addition, Hermione did not earn any points afterwards. Even though Gryffindor got a good ranking in Quidditch, it still ranked last.

It’s already very respectful that it’s not a double digit number.

But the Gryffindors didn't seem to mind, they were used to being at the bottom anyway.

"Before the dinner officially begins, we have to hold the award ceremony for the House Cup. I think everyone has seen the scores." Dumbledore, who was sitting in the headmaster's seat, said slowly.

The Slytherin table immediately erupted into thunderous cheers and stamping of feet.

The College Cup is a sure thing.

609 points, hey, 609 points, how can you beat us?

There is an old saying by Xun Ge'er: "Never let your guard down until the last moment. Even if it seems to be a matter of course."

"Yes, Slytherin, you have performed very well this year." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "However, I think some recent events must also be taken into account."

The hall immediately became very quiet. The Slytherins seemed to realize something and their uncontrollable and exaggerated smiles subsided a little.

"Ahem." Dumbledore cleared his throat. The next second his voice became very loud, echoing in every corner of the hall: "There are still a few final points to be distributed."

"let me see."

He pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket and put on a pair of glasses, seeming to be carefully deciphering the handwriting on it.

"Oh, right. The first item is Mr. Ron Weasley."

".He won the most exciting game of chess at Hogwarts in many years, and he should be awarded 100 points for it."

There was an immediate cheer from the Gryffindor table.

Ron is a member of Gryffindor, so his points must be added to Gryffindor House.

"The second item is Mr. Neville Longbottom. He is familiar with the Devil's Snare and has a sophisticated fire spell. He will be awarded 100 points."

'Who's Neville? Oh, that silly-looking first-year Longbottom kid.'

"Third item - Miss Hermione Granger, she is awarded 100 points for her calm logical reasoning."

"Miss Know-It-All, you are still quite useful."

All these scores added up to 300 points. The little wizards in Gryffindor were extremely excited. Adding the original 111 points, Gryffindor's score now reached 411 points. The hourglass, which was originally at the bottom, jumped up, surpassing the original third and second places, and was second only to Slytherin with 609 points.

The young wizards in the hall started to talk to each other, and there was a buzz of discussion. The Hufflepuff wizards were at a loss. They should have been third, so how come they were at the bottom again? The Ravenclaw wizards were whispering something, and the Gryffindors were cheering ecstatically. Only the Slytherins were the calmest.

Man, this is 609 points. Even if Gryffindor adds 200 points, there is still a huge gap between us and you. Can you add another points to surpass us?

Dumbledore continued his announcement as if he hadn't seen it.

"The fourth item - Harry Potter."

".He showed great courage and bravery, for which he deserves 200 points."

As he made the announcement, the hall suddenly became extremely quiet, and all the young wizards stared at Dumbledore in disbelief.

611 points, a full 609 ​​points higher than 2 points.

This means that the College Cup championship needs to change hands.

After a brief silence, thunderous cheers and applause rang out, and the whole Gryffindor was boiling.

Red fireworks continued to rise into the sky, dyeing Slytherin's green draping ribbons bright red.

It's the Weasley brothers' fireworks.

The seniors stood up and took out their wands. With their joint spellcasting, the huge Slytherin snake disappeared and was replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.

"Glory to Gryffindor! The House Cup belongs to Gryffindor!"

I don't know who started it, but the entire Gryffindor table started cheering, they were all celebrating that their students had won the house cup.

Although many people, except Harry, could not recognize the names mentioned by Dumbledore, it did not prevent them from being happy about it, especially surpassing Slytherin.

The students of Slytherin House looked livid.

They couldn't understand why they lost to Gryffindor for no apparent reason when they had an absolute advantage.

Why? Because they are playing dirty tricks?

They don't recognize the extra points! They didn't win through fair competition!

However, those words were said by the greatest white wizard of this century. Even if one is extremely dissatisfied, one has to keep it to oneself.

"Hey, Slytherin, you lost the House Cup!"

I don't know which little wizard wanted to watch the fun and started to make jokes, which broke the defense of the Slytherins who had finally calmed down.

'We are Slytherins, we have to judge the situation, we have to be hi, damn angry!'
