The moment they entered the castle, Malfoy and Neville, two children who had grown up in the magical world, transformed into bumpkins again.
This is a decoration that is completely different from the mainstream aesthetic in the wizarding world, combining fantasy and science fiction.
Under the leadership of Harry, several people came to the restaurant, where Dudley and Hermione had been waiting for a long time.
"Neville, Draco, welcome to our home."
The words "our family" not only caused a bright smile to bloom on Harry's face, but also made Hermione, who was sitting next to Dudley, blush and turn her head to the side shyly.
"Serve." Dudley sat upright and snapped his fingers gently.
In an instant, the lights were bright. The sun had already set and night was gradually approaching, but the room was as bright as day.
The Cornish elf transformed into a page, wearing a suit and tie, flying from the door carrying plates one after another and placing them on the spacious dining table.
The fragrant and delicious food made several people's food craving for food.
Malfoy took a piece and put it into his mouth. It melted in his mouth and the wonderful taste bloomed in his taste buds.
It's much more delicious than the food at home.
Malfoy exclaimed when he learned that these dishes were all cooked by Dudley himself.
"Brother D, can you cook?!"
When he was at Hogwarts, Dudley didn't show his cooking skills in front of them, so Malfoy and Neville didn't know that he could cook.
"Of course." Harry looked proud: "Brother D's cooking skills are the best."
Those who didn't know thought they were complimenting him.
"You're welcome, just go ahead and eat. I've done a lot."
Dudley said as he looked at a plate of crispy roasted elbows and was about to start his meal.
Do you think Dudley could use a knife and fork to slowly cut off a piece and taste it bit by bit?
No kidding, this is Dudley.
I saw him directly picking up the pork knuckle, putting it in his mouth and chewing it at a very fast speed.
Meat needs to be eaten in large chunks to enjoy it.
As soon as Malfoy moved his second fork, Dudley had already finished destroying him, and at the same time his eyes turned to another plate of delicious food.
Perhaps because they had been with Dudley for a long time, Hermione and Harry also ate very quickly. The food on the table was reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first, Malfoy tried to be more reserved, but ended up looking at the delicious food. If the food is reduced little by little, you won't be able to take care of that much and join the army of food grabbers.
Not to mention Neville, he was bigger than Malfoy and Harry, and he was already hungry.
In a short time, a table of delicious food was wiped out by a few people in a whirlwind.
After waving his hands, a group of foxy people flew over very wisely, picked up the plates and flew towards the kitchen.
Dudley wiped his mouth gently with a napkin, looked at the group of people and said, "It's still some time before school starts. What do you guys want to do?"
Visiting the castle, even if you look at each place one by one, will only last a few days at most, and there are still two full months before the start of school.
Before they came out, they made an agreement with their families that they would not go home for the next two months.
Malfoy originally thought that his father would not let him out, but he unexpectedly agreed and asked Malfoy to learn from Dudley before leaving.
Although Lucius was arrogant, he was not stupid and had some foresight in assessing the situation.
Hermione was the first to express her thoughts: "I think we should use the rest of the vacation to strengthen our studies. The fifth grade will take the (General Wizarding Examination Level Test) exam, and we don't have much time left."
"We will be in our third year when we report to Hogwarts this year."
“There are just over four years left until graduation.”
This word is used very well. Those who didn’t know better thought that there was only one month left before graduation.
But Dudley appreciated Hermione's preparedness for the crisis in advance.
It's just that their starting points are different. Hermione is thinking about graduation, while Dudley is thinking about another aspect.
Senior Tom suffered heavy losses from him. Two Horcruxes were destroyed in succession, and his main remnant soul was also eliminated. There was absolutely no way he could sit still and wait for death.
The older Harry gets, the greater the threat to him.
He believed in prophecies, he believed in prophecies too much. Harry was the one who defeated him in the description of the prophecies. This was his obsession.
Wizards who have reached the level of him and Lao Deng must personally eliminate their obsessions if they want to go further.
And he died at Harry's hands, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
So as long as he gathers enough power, he will definitely come back, gather his subordinates, and do everything possible to kill Harry with his own hands in front of everyone.
As far as students were concerned, the members of the disciplinary team were already very strong, but when faced with adult wizards, or extremely vicious adult wizards, Harry and the others were still far behind.
Don't expect the Ministry of Magic to do anything, they are really unreliable.
Dudley, who had dealt with the Ministry of Magic, knew this very well.
'Being obedient in the face of Death Eaters, and punching hard in the face of ordinary wizards' This is the true portrayal of the Ministry of Magic now.
"I agree." Unexpectedly, Malfoy was the first to agree with Hermione's proposal.
Although he usually doesn't always look for opportunities to be lazy like Ron, he is definitely not diligent.
Others don't know that Malfoy has set his first goal to become the 'head of the Malfoy family' as soon as possible.
Of course, if he wants to become the new head of the family, he must oust the previous head of the family.
What a filial son.
"I think so."
After hearing Hermione's suggestion and seeing Malfoy's attitude, Neville nodded in agreement and expressed his opinion.
"I think there should be more training in defense against dark arts." Harry also expressed his opinion.
Harry was very dissatisfied with his failure to deal with the Basilisk with Dudley at the end of last semester, and strongly requested more Defense Against the Dark Arts training.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts course is all about practical combat.
"I think so too." Neville agreed again, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
The three of them turned their attention to Dudley at the same time.
He is the one who makes the decisions.
Dudley felt very pleased to see everyone so active in learning.
“Both theory and practice must be grasped.”
Dudley slowly expressed his opinion: "In addition to the basic content in the textbook, I think we should also learn some advanced magic."
Such as the Patronus Charm
It just so happens that this year there is a group of dark creatures that all the little wizards at Hogwarts need to face.
Dementors.
It couldn't be more suitable as a training object.
How to defeat ten or more dementors head-on is the basic topic for this year's discipline group. Anyone who can meet the standard will be qualified to enter the discipline group.
Dudley's eyes fell on the Daily Prophet newspaper, or to be precise, on the Weasley family.
I don’t know if the big dog in Azkaban has seen this newspaper.
