"Oh, woman! Dudley muttered.

"What did you say?" Hermione looked at Dudley, who was now noisy in the stands, and she wasn't sure if she had misheard.

"No... Didn't say anything. Dudley's eyes wandered.

When Hermione was about to attack, Dudley spotted Malfoy who was about to sneak away, and he stopped Malfoy, "What are you going to do?" ”

Malfoy's face was uncomfortable: "No... Why don't you go if you're not ready. ”

"I don't think you're going to be able to pay off. Dudley had a smile on his lips, "After all, your Malfoy family is one of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Clans. ”

"If you pay your bills, you will lose face for the Malfoys. Ron made a stab.

Malfoy's cheeks flushed, he had lost a thousand gold Galleons like this, and he would definitely have to be trained when he returned home, and he suddenly thought of a brilliant note. So he said calmly: "I'm sure I won't be repaid, our Malfoy family is not short of a thousand gold Galleons here." ”

"Very well, I'm looking forward to your offering of this thousand gold Galleons in both hands. ”

Seeing Malfoy's appearance, Dudley regretted that he didn't start betting on a higher gold Galleon, thinking about it, the Malfoy family has been inherited for so long, and it doesn't hurt to lose a thousand gold Galleons.

"I'm going to make a bet with you. Malfoy's voice was full of confidence, as if he were going to gamble and he would win.

Dudley smiled inwardly, it seemed that Malfoy's classmate was still very good, and he couldn't wait to send him money.

"Thank you, thank you so much. Dudley stepped forward and grabbed Malfoy's hand.

Malfoy quickly withdrew his hand and wiped it a few times on the wizard's robe, his face full of disgust and confusion, "What are you thankful for?"

Dudley didn't care about Malfoy's movements, his face was full of smiles: "Of course, I thank the rich man for sending me money to spend!"

Ron, Neville, and Hermione hadn't laughed yet, but Crabbe and Goyle laughed at the pig meow.

Malfoy angrily struck them on the back of the head, but when he hit Crabbe, Crabbe instinctively ducked, staring at Crabbe without speaking.

Crabbe trembled up to him and whispered, "Or you fight again." ”

Malfoy: "......"

Then, he flicked his arm, "This time we're betting on a duel, a duel between me and you, Dudley Dursley." ”

"Malfoy, you can't even beat Harry, and you dare to duel Dudley. Ron said with a sneer.

The haughty Malfoy ignored Ron, and even despised the empty-headed guy inwardly, how could he have brought up a duel that he knew he would lose if he wasn't sure, he spent almost all of his time training spells this Christmas, and his father taught him himself.

"Dudley, dare not. ”

Dudley hurriedly nodded and agreed, what is there not to dare to take the money for nothing, learned the lesson of the beginning, Dudley is ready to open the price a little higher this time, "How much are you going to bet?"

"If I win, the first thousand gold Galleons will be canceled out, and if you win, I will give you another thousand gold Galleons. Malfoy said.

Dudley stretched out his arm, raised an index finger and shook it from side to side.

"You're scared! you don't dare to duel me!" exclaimed Malfoy, excitedly.

"You're an idiot!" Dudley despised Malfoy, fearing that he would be impossible, "A thousand gold Galleons is too little, as you yourself said, you Malfoy family is not short of this thousand gold Galleons." I'm going to bet you 10,000 gold Galleons!"

Dudley's lion opened his mouth and stunned the little ones.

"Why don't you rob Gringotts. Malfoy jumped to his feet in frenzy.

"Tsk. Dudley shook his head, "It's quicker and safer than robbing Gringotts." ”

Malfoy said angrily, "I can take out ten thousand gold Galleons, can you take it out?"

"Harry's vault is a bunch of gold galleons. Dudley, of course, took it out, so he had to borrow Harry's name again.

Malfoy fell into deep thought.

Ron, who didn't dislike the excitement, continued to taunt Malfoy, "You can't be scared, right?" ”

"Ten thousand gold Galleons is too much. Hermione whispered as she tugged at Dudley's sleeve.

"You haven't seen Harry's vault. Dudley said.

"Alright!" Malfoy said, with a win-guess win, "Potter would have reacted if he had known that you had lost ten thousand Galleons for him." ”

"Time, place. Malfoy had agreed, and Dudley wasn't going to talk nonsense with him anymore.

"I'm going back to get my wand, and in an hour I'll be outside the stadium on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. ”

Malfoy kicked Crabbe and Gordon, "Go, what are you waiting for?" ”

When they were gone, Hermione said, "They're not going to stop, are they?"

"Impossible. Ron was surprised.

Dudley looked in the direction they were leaving and said, "He can't be relied on." ”

When the people in the stadium were almost gone, Dudley led them slowly and leisurely towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

At the same time, a hooded figure quickly walked down the main steps of the castle, apparently not wanting to be seen, but the man was still seen by Harry, and the figure sped straight towards the Forbidden Forest.

Harry recognized the figure's sneaky gait.

None other than Snape. He took advantage of this time to sneak into the Forbidden Forest.

Harry jumped back onto his broomstick and took off. He glided silently over the castle and saw Snape running into the Forbidden Forest. He followed.

"You see, the one in the sky isn't Harry. Neville said uncertainly.

Dudley looked up and saw that Harry had flown into the Forbidden Forest.

"You're waiting here. Dudley pulled out his wand and turned to himself, "Phantom Body." ”

Dudley's figure vanished, and he ran into the Forbidden Forest as fast as he could, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and the trees in the Forbidden Forest were very dense, and he saw Harry flying in a circle, lower and lower, grazing the treetops.

It wasn't long before Dudley heard someone talking in front of him, and he knew it was Snape, presumably Harry had followed him before flying in.

Harry flew in the direction of the sound, silently landing on a towering beech.

Dudley stood not far away and watched Harry carefully crawl forward along a branch, his broomstick clutching tightly in his hand.

It turned out that it wasn't just Snape and Quirrell.

Quirrell's stuttering was much worse than ever, "No... Don't know why you... Want... To meet here, Severus. ”

"Do you think it's appropriate to make this kind of thing public!" said Snape, his voice cold, "after all, students aren't supposed to know about the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"Have you figured out how to get past Hagrid's monster?"

"But... Can... But, Severus, I..."

"You don't want me to be your enemy, Quirrell. Snape said, taking a step closer to him.

"I... I don't know... Know what you're going to say. ”

"You know exactly what I mean!" Snape sneered, "your secret little trick. I waited. ”

"But... But I don't... No... No—" Quirrell was like a little resentment now.

Snape interrupted him, "You've got time to think it through, and we'll talk again after you've decided who you're loyal to." ”

He covered his head with his cloak and strode out of the clearing. Quirrell stood motionless, like a clay sculpture of wood.
