"Very good, he has potion talent second only to Lily."
Snape's tone sounded a little impatient, as if he was unwilling to talk about Dudley with Dumbledore: "Maybe he can inherit all my potions, maybe he can get to a higher level, maybe he can become the Minister of Magic. Who knows? .”
"But Albus, don't spoil him too much. Potions like Veritaserum cannot be abused even by Aurors, not to mention that he is only a little wizard who has not even finished the first grade."
Compared to the serious Snape, Dumbledore's tone was much more cheerful. He put two more candies into his mouth and winked at Snape.
"Severus, you also said that he is just a child. No one would believe that a first-year wizard can make Veritaserum. And I think he is right. Hogwarts wants to change the status quo. .”
"And when it comes to not pampering him, you're the one."
Snape did not answer Dumbledore. He just snorted coldly and waved the sleeves of his pure black robe vigorously: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
After Snape left, Dumbledore was still sitting in his seat thinking over Dudley's remarks.
"A very trendy theory."
It's not unreasonable to merge the four academies into one, but he really can't do it.
Then he thought of Dudley's words.
"If it hadn't been for Slytherin then maybe Tom wouldn't have."
Who knows about this kind of thing.
"Headmasters, what do you think?"
Dumbledore asked, looking at the portraits of past headmasters above his head.
"What an amazing little wizard, he really knows a lot."
The old witch with long silver curls immediately opened her eyes and praised.
Delis de Winter.
While being the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he is also a very famous therapist.
“It’s a bold idea to combine four colleges into one.”
This is a white-haired wizard with a thin face, Armando Dippet, Dumbledore's former headmaster.
"Albus, his ideas are more wild and bold than yours. He really should be in Gryffindor. How did you allocate the Sorting Hat?"
His tone was full of admiration for Dudley.
"Hey, you just praised his idea. How can there be Gryffindor if there are four houses combined?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a picture that retorted.
"He is ambitious. I saw his ambition. He is truly worthy of being a Slytherin."
The speaker this time was an old man who looked a little cunning, Phineas Nigellus Black, the only Slytherin headmaster in the history of Hogwarts. Also known as Hogwarts' most unpopular headmaster.
"Shut up, Phineas!"
Poor Phineas had just finished speaking when he was dragged away by the principals in the picture frame next door.
He was also shouting something about the glory of Slytherin.
"He's right and I think a disciplinary panel should be set up as well."
This time the speaker was a wizard with a pale face and short black bangs.
Evra.
He is also a famous figure in the history of Hogwarts. He has a high reputation in the wizarding world.
"Albus, he's right, you should really think about it."
"I know I know."
Dumbledore nodded, no one knew what he was thinking at this time.
"Oh, my God. It's already so late. I don't know if the Skeleton Band has arrived. It's time to prepare for the dinner."
Colorful Halloween decorations filled the entire hall. A thousand bats fluttered on the walls and ceiling, and another thousand bats were like low dark clouds, circling and flying above the dining table, filling the pumpkin's belly with joy. The candle flames flickered and floated high and low in the sky.
You can be sure that the holiday atmosphere is very strong.
If you ignore the fact that the Gryffindor table is missing a little wizard in the first year position.
"Dudley, are you okay?"
After seeing Dudley come to the hall like nothing happened, Hermione and others gathered around him with surprise on their faces.
He looked here and there, trying to find if there was anything missing in Dudley.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore make things difficult for you?"
Dudley rubbed Hermione's little head: "Of course it's okay. As I said, we are justified."
Travel all over the world with reason.
Well, not only theory but also physics.
He patted Harry and Ron on the shoulders again: "Ron, thank you for standing up at the critical moment."
"No, I. I didn't do anything."
Ron felt a little embarrassed when he suddenly thought of something and his face lit up: "Mr. Dursley, you called my name correctly."
Basically everyone calls him by the wrong name at one time or another, except Harry.
But now there's one more.
"Don't call me Mr. Dursley. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother D like Harry."
As soon as these words came out, Harry felt slightly unhappy, but it was fleeting.
"Okay, Brother D." Ron said happily.
"Brother D, I think my training should be strengthened. I don't want to be unable to do anything like today."
"It should be strengthened, not just physical exercise."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will take some time to teach you magic spells."
Dudley had something else to say, his theoretical knowledge was more than enough to teach Harry and the others.
As for the reason, he can't be the only one in the disciplinary team.
"Really?" Harry and Ron said happily.
Today, Dudley's little sun-level 'fluorescence' was an eye-opener for them, it was really cool.
Dudley suddenly turned his head and said to Neville, who was sitting alone on the bench: "Mr. Longbottom, if you don't mind, meet in front of the gate of Hogwarts at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
He extended a sincere invitation to Neville and added at the end.
"Your body is really built for exercise."
"Really, really?"
Neville looked in disbelief and said stumblingly.
Dudley nodded: "Of course, if you want."
"I do."
Neville quickly said that he had long wanted to join Dudley's small circle.
Dudley stayed at the Gryffindor table for a while, then sat back at the Slytherin table when the banquet was about to begin.
At the long Slytherin table, Dudley was surrounded by only Malfoy and his two followers.
To be precise, Malfoy wanted to follow Dudley, and Crabbe and Goyle were dragged over by him. The two fat guys sat tremblingly next to Malfoy, their faces pale, and they looked like they were ready to die at any moment. .
"Why are you so afraid of me? I can't eat people." Dudley touched his smooth chin and muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them were shaking even harder.
Malfoy seemed to know something and quietly explained to Dudley.
Whether they cannibalize or not is another matter, and I don't know where the news came from that Dudley made Gryffindors kill each other with just one spell.
The Gryffindor first year benches are proof of that.
This made the little wizards in Slytherin even more awe of Dudley.
Those who are afraid of him will naturally be even more afraid.
Soon after taking their seats at the Slytherin table, the professors also took their seats one after another. With Dumbledore's announcement, the banquet officially began.
Dudley picked up a lamb chop, put it in his mouth and got a complete bone. Just listen to him chewing and saying: "Actually, if you get along with me for a long time, you will know that I am very approachable, elegant and easy-going."
"Right, Draco?"
Being called out by Dudley, Malfoy said something against his will that even he himself didn't believe.
"Uh, yes, Brother D."
