"Weasley!" Snape suddenly shouted.
Ron, who was staring at Dudley's cauldron and swallowing saliva, was startled.
I saw Snape walking up to Ron and taking out a pill.
"Eat this."
"Okay, Professor."
Ron knew that he had just offended Snape and must not argue with him now, so he obediently took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
After finishing it, I smacked my lips. I felt that there was a bitter almond taste in my mouth, which was not particularly delicious.
When he thought of the word delicious, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the pot of soup. It would be great if I could eat a bowl.
Not much, just one bowl is enough.
Saliva is continuously secreted from the mouth.
what to do? I want to eat it!
After that, I asked Brother D to cook a bowl for myself.
"What is this? Professor."
It took a while before Ron thought to ask Snape.
"poison."
Snape said calmly, explaining the pill very briefly and directly.
Ron: "???"
"Since Dursley said that what he made was the antidote, and he is going to attend the meeting of the warriors now, then it is up to you to do it for him."
"Aren't you companions?"
Ron tried to spit it out, but the pill melted in his mouth and had already flowed down his esophagus.
Snape handed Ron the soup Dudley had given him.
"Of course, if Dursley fails, then we can only collect Mr. Weasley's body. Don't worry, we will put your ashes in a box and bury it in the back garden of Hogwarts. I think everyone They will all remember him."
At that moment, Ron's face was green and he was in an extremely bad mood. Snape's face changed from black to normal, his eyebrows relaxed, and he was in a good mood.
Do you think you are Dursley? Dare you sleep in my class with Snape.
This is just a small punishment.
Well, the Potions Professor's face must not be lost.

Dudley and Harry followed the little wizard to a room. In addition to Viktor and Fleur who were participating in the competition, there were several other people in the room. Next to Bagman stood a witch wearing heavy makeup and a magenta robe— —Rita Skeeter.
Star reporter for the Daily Prophet.
"Fellow warriors, please wait here for a moment. Dumbledore is waiting for other judges to perform the wand testing ceremony. Before that, you can be interviewed by Ms. Skeeter. She is preparing to write an article for the Triwizard Tournament. Big news," Bagman said.
Hearing this, Fleur asked doubtfully: "Wand test?"
"Yes, before the competition officially starts, you must check whether your wands are fully functional and in good condition. This is your important prop to pass the level."
"Okay everyone, I'm going up first. I wish you a pleasant chat with Ms. Skeeter."
After Bagman made a brief explanation, he hurried upstairs, as if he didn't want to stay here for another minute.
"I didn't expect that my first meeting with you would be here, Mr. Dursley."
Rita Skeeter completely ignored the other heroes, her eyes fixed on Dudley, her expression half-smiling.
She had been chasing after her to do an exclusive interview, but Dudley refused without mercy.
As for the reason why Dudley didn't like the Daily Prophet, it was that simple.
His conflict with the Daily Prophet can be traced back to the initial submission. At that time, the publishing house under the Daily Prophet explicitly rejected Dudley's submission and reduced his work to be worthless.
"Can I talk to you alone? Go to the small room next to you and do an exclusive interview. Of course, I also want to do an exclusive interview with the most legendary Mr. Potter." Rita Skeeter pointed to the small room next to her. , trying to make a smiling expression and trying to be polite in her tone, but the thick foundation on her face made her smile look very weird.
"It's not necessary. Is there anything that cannot be said publicly? Just here." Dudley said calmly, without any intention of getting up: "Besides, I don't need to do any exclusive interviews, no."
Seeing how disrespectful Dudley was, Rita Skeeter wanted to force him away, but she could only give up when she thought of the huge difference in size between herself and him.
"Okay then."
Rita Skeeter said reluctantly, she took out a stenographic pen and a notebook and began to conduct the interview.
"Ms. Skeeter." However, the two of them hadn't chatted for a few words when Dudley suddenly said: "I don't want words that I didn't say to appear in the Daily Prophet tomorrow, or to do anything to me in any form or way. Groundless speculation, can this be done?”
Rita Skeeter nodded and replied without thinking: "The Daily Prophet has always been pragmatic."
"Really?" Dudley asked, "Are you sure?"
"certainly."
Unexpectedly, Dudley suddenly stood up and grabbed the stenographic pen and manuscript next to Rita Skeeter before the other party could react: "Then what is your stenographic pen recording?"
"I haven't said anything yet, so why is there a five-page manuscript?"
After just a glance, Dudley's face immediately darkened.
'The abnormal love triangle of Dursley, Potter and Granger', 'Scarhead, this life and past life'
He knew that this woman was orchestrating him.
"give me back!"
Rita Skeeter tries to steal the manuscript, but unfortunately Dudley won't get her way.
"I believe that as the subject of the interview, I have the right to know."
Dudley tore the manuscript into pieces with just two strokes.
"Ms. Rita Skeeter, I solemnly warn you that based on your dishonesty, I will not accept any form of interview with the Daily Prophet if I read any untrue news about me in the Daily Prophet. "
"I would be delighted to see you before the Wizengamot Court."
"Harry, I think we should go up."
After speaking, he threw the pieces away without even looking at Rita Skeeter. Countless scraps of paper spontaneously ignited out of thin air and disappeared without a trace when blown by the breeze.
Dudley had no interest in playing a game of catching 'bugs' threats with the other party. The content on the shorthand pen just now made him angry. If the other party dared to push further,
Then don't blame him for not predicting what he said.
He is not Dumbledore, his temper is not that good, and the other party also affected his two important people - his brother and um.
Rita Skeeter's face was black and blue. This was the first time in her career that she had encountered such treatment. Her big bulging eyes stared at Dudley's leaving back with hatred.
So what if the manuscript is torn? She could write more, and she vowed to make the other party pay for today's behavior. who is she? She is Rita Skeeter, a righteous female reporter who is 'unafraid of power' and 'dare to speak out'. Why should we worry about the threat of a mere underage wizard?
Even Minister of Magic Fudge has to show courtesy to him.
She had already thought about how to get revenge and came back.
It was obvious that the Daily Prophet did not take Dudley's words seriously.
