The first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson ended successfully, and the little wizards walked out of the classroom with excited faces.
They gathered together in twos and threes and chatted about the content of today's class.
The first real practical lesson, the little wizards gained a lot.
Although Professor Lupine had an accident in class, it was because of Dudley that Mr. Dursley could not judge by common sense. This was the unanimous consensus of the young wizards.
The course was generally smooth, much better than Lockhart and Quirrell. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison, so it naturally won the support of many young wizards.
Everyone is also looking forward to the second Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
When Harry and others returned to the Gryffindor lounge, they found the corridor at the door full of people.
"What's going on here?"
Harry patted the tall senior in front and asked curiously.
The senior, who was initially a little unhappy at being photographed, immediately changed to a friendly tone and explained after seeing it was Harry: "The Gryffindor lounge was attacked, the portrait of the Fat Lady was severely damaged, and those canvases were everywhere on the ground. Small piece.”
The Fat Lady is the portrait guarding the door to the Gryffindor lounge. Unlike the bronze ring of Ravenclaw, which lets people in as long as they answer the right questions, the Fat Lady has certain autonomous behaviors.
"Do you know who did it?" Harry asked next.
The senior replied with emotion: "Who else could it be, that criminal Sirius? Only he would do such a cruel thing. The Fat Lady is so pitiful. I think she won't be able to guard the gate of Gryffindor for a long time." .”
At this time, Dumbledore hurried over after receiving reports from the professors.
After understanding a little bit about what happened, Dumbledore began to arrange the work.
He asked the professors to organize students to take a break in the auditorium. There was a dangerous person wandering around Hogwarts, which was very dangerous to the little wizards.
Countless little wizards, led by professors, came to the auditorium and began to lay down on the floor. Every three hours, a professor would be responsible for patrolling.
Dumbledore opened the door to the principal's office tiredly.
Even though he has the title of the strongest white wizard of this century, he is still over one hundred and ten years old.
Even if wizards generally live longer than ordinary people, being over one hundred and ten years old is definitely not considered a young adult. Moreover, the last magic stone that can extend life has completely disappeared in the long river of history with the death of Nicoreme.
Someone had been waiting in the principal's office for a long time. It was Dudley, who was teasing Fawkes with a bean-like food. When he saw Dumbledore coming back, he said hello.
"Are the arrangements in place?"
"Minerva and Severus will be on patrol for the first half of the night today, and Filius and Pomona for the second half of the night."
Dumbledore sat down on his seat, took out a licorice candy and asked Dudley if he wanted it. After receiving a clear rejection reply, he put the licorice candy in his mouth and tasted it.
He only feels good when he eats sweets.
Dudley glanced at the licorice candies, which contained star anise oil in addition to sugar and glucose.
It tastes like a toilet cleaner.
Only a wizard with unique taste like Dumbledore would like it.
"Professor, this is already the third time."
Dudley emphasized: "Remember your promise?"
Of course Dumbledore remembers
'Hogwarts is the safest place.'
He said so.
Another slap in the face.
"Remember, of course I remember."
To be honest, Dumbledore was somewhat depressed.
In the first year, Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort. This was quite understandable, as Dumbledore knew about it in advance. Not to mention Voldemort's Horcruxes, a very dangerous basilisk also came out the next year, which was beyond his expectation. Finally, Voldemort stopped causing trouble in the third year. As a result, the outside of the castle was full of dementors, and a highly dangerous wanted criminal infiltrated the castle.
There are really surprises every year, and they will never fail.
Even Knockturn Alley, where dark wizards gather, is not so dangerous.
At least that place won't kill people. These things that appear in Hogwarts every year can easily kill an adult wizard.
"Professor, do you need my help this time?" Dudley watched Dumbledore eating candy and felt a little hungry. However, he did not accept any candy from Dumbledore and took out some biscuits from his pocket. Put it in your mouth and chew it.
They were thumb biscuits that Dudley asked Hagrid to make using rock biscuits. The sound really sounded like he was eating his fingers, squeaking, squeaking.
Originally, he wanted Hagrid to add some cherry juice to it, so that it would be more like finger-eating, but it was not cherry season recently so he had to give it up.
"He vandalized the Gryffindor common room, which is within the jurisdiction of the disciplinary committee."
Dumbledore had already finished his licorice candy. Dudley handed him a finger biscuit, which was also rejected by Dumbledore.
He didn't have the steamroller teeth of Dudley.
He was minding his own business and took out another bottle from nowhere. Inside the bottle was a dense pile of black beetle-like creatures climbing towards the mouth of the bottle. They were piles of cockroaches, a kind of candy that looked terrible and tasted even more terrible. It is said that It tastes pretty good.
Dumbledore took out one casually, put it in his mouth and started chewing it. He watched the tentacles of the cockroach candy twitching at the corners of Dumbledore's mouth, and the image of the cockroach exploding in his mouth kept popping up in his mind. Rao Shida He couldn't help but his eyelids twitching, and he silently put down the thumb cookie.
Too strong in taste.
When it comes to disgusting people, I, Dudley Dursley, would like to call you the strongest.
Meimei ate a cockroach candy, and Dumbledore's frown slightly relaxed, and he said to Dudley seriously: "Dudley, you are only a third-year student, Sirius is too dangerous."
To be fair, Dumbledore personally didn't quite believe that Sirius was responsible for what happened back then.
Although he is a deviant, he will not betray his friends.
Dumbledore felt that there should be some secrets hidden in this. In fact, he wanted Harry to solve the matter instead of Dudley.
Although Dudley is good in nature and I admire him very much, he doesn't know how to be flexible in his actions. He demands justice too much, is too extreme, too direct and too violent.
Establish a disciplinary team to uphold the principle of fairness and combat all bullying on campus.
There are many little wizards who have been expelled or disabled (Audrina was sent to St. Mungo's, and the two bullies in the same dormitory have also dropped out).
Instantly kill the troll that threatens the little wizard's life, kill the remnant soul of Voldemort that endangers Hogwarts (originally Dumbledore planned to let it go), destroy the Horcrux of Voldemort that disturbs the security of Hogwarts, and kill the troublemaker. The basilisk in the horrifying Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts.
Let him deal with this.
Dumbledore didn't think Dudley would show mercy to Sirius.
