Chapter 170: The Last of the Last (Finished)
Dudley pushed open the golden door with a slight heaviness, blaming Lao Deng for not saying anything clearly, making him a little overwhelmed now.
There was a creak, and the golden door was slowly pushed open by Dudley.
"That's it?"
Dudley exclaimed, there was nothing strange behind the door, it was completely different from what he had expected. There were only a dozen or so white candles floating in the air, illuminating the whole room.
There was nothing but candles in the room, except for a cylindrical stone platform in the center.
It is about five meters high, and there are stone steps on the side of the stone platform that allow people to walk up.
Dudley raised an eyebrow, he didn't know what Dumbledore's use was in putting such a thing here, he had to go up and take a look to find out.
He walked up the stone staircase, and the only sound in the silent room was the sound of him stepping on the stone. At a distance of five meters, he didn't have long to walk.
The top of the pillar was empty.
Dudley stood on it and looked around for a moment, and finally his gaze rested on the ground, the surface of the stone platform carved something.
"Is this?" he crouched down, his hand touching the place where the carving was, carefully feeling the flow of magic.
Wherever there is a place to cast a spell, there will always be residual mana fluctuations.
Dudley stood up and frowned, he always felt that what was portrayed on the surface had a familiar feeling as if he had seen it somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.
"Where the hell have you seen it," Dudley muttered as he walked around the stone pillar.
After a lap, Dudley didn't stop, his brow furrowed even more, he swore that he had definitely seen what was depicted on it.
Suddenly, he stopped and slapped his palms sharply.
"I saw it there," Dudley realized, and he finally remembered.
The stone pillar depicts a teleportation circle, which is used to connect target point A with target point B, and then let people quickly go from point A to target point B.
This kind of circle was seen by Dudley when he was in his first year, in Dumbledore's office, and he had nothing to do to take out Dumbledore's collection of books to read.
At that time, when he saw this magic circle, he just looked at it casually, so he couldn't remember it for a long time now.
This circle is very old, and it is hardly used nowadays, because there is a new replacement, which is the portkey.
"Unreliable old Deng. Dudley grumbled, he didn't know how to use the teleportation circle.
He walked to the middle of the circle, trying to find if there was a switch to control the circle, or where to transmit mana.
Suddenly, the entire circle lit up, emitting a pale blue light, and Dudley only felt the emptiness under his feet, his eyes instinctively closed, and a sense of weightlessness followed.
It didn't last long for Dudley to feel his feet on the ground again.
He slowly opened his eyes, and he was greeted by an old face full of wrinkles. He was startled and jerked backwards.
Stumbling, Dudley sank into the soft couch.
"We meet again. ”
"Huh?" Dudley frowned and looked at the old man in front of him, a delicate old man, his face was full of wrinkles, but he could still tell that he was full of energy, and he was wearing a black bathrobe with gold trim. "Have you met? We've met before?"
"Could it be ......" he pondered for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "The person that Lao Deng said made me have magical powers is you?"
"Old Deng ......" he reached out and nodded to the table in front of Dudley, and a plate of delicate fruit platters appeared on the table, and then Dudley had two more goblets in front of him, which contained a little red wine.
"Interesting name," he said, taking a sip of a glass of red wine, "taste it, it's not easy to drink it here." ”
Dudley looked at the red wine on the table, he didn't reach for it, where was this, who was the old man in front of him, he didn't figure it out, how could he drink it.
The old man didn't care that Dudley didn't go to drink the red wine, he shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the sofa next to Dudley very casually, "Since you don't want to drink it, forget it, just so I can stay and taste it myself." ”
"I want to know everything about me. ”
"Young people...... Always so impatient," the old man slowly shook the goblet in his hand, the red wine in the glass was as red as blood, "then, come and hear my story......
As the story progresses, Dudley's state of mind at this time is difficult to keep calm, and it turns out that the old man in front of him has a great background.
This delicate old man was Gellert Grindelwald, who was once listed as the most dangerous dark wizard.
Originally, Grindelwald wanted to break the shackles of the wizarding world and make wizards the masters, like Muggles, without hiding in unknown corners. Later he failed and was imprisoned here, that is, in Newmengard.
He believed that as long as the number of wizards was greater than the number of Muggles, the situation between Muggles and wizards would be reversed in an instant.
During this period of detention, it was not that he did nothing, but devoted himself to retreat and study.
Eventually, he found something that could turn things around, and that was the research materials on magical creatures left behind by Helbo in ancient times......
Gradually, the story comes, the era of Voldemort, and then it ends with Harry Potter.
Grindelwald did not approve of Voldemort's approach, but he also had to admit that Voldemort was a very talented man.
It's hard to imagine how a baby could defeat Voldemort in the limelight with the magic that Voldemort possessed.
Grindelwald knew that the time he had been waiting for had come, and his mind began to come alive, so he sneaked out of the place while Dumbledore was not looking.
Originally wanted to capture Harry Potter for research, but accidentally captured Dudley Dursley.
Later, his fierce research led to the creation of the current Dudley.
Grindelwald's research experiments can be said to have been successful or unsuccessful.
Success was due to Dudley's magical powers, just as Grindelwald wanted to turn all Muggles into wizards. It is said to be a failure because this kind of case is not reproducible.
None of the others who did this survived.
Later, Dumbledore retrieved Dudley, who was too young to control the magic in his body, so Dumbledore tampered with Dudley's memories and set a ban on Dudley's body.
That's why Dudley lived a childhood that seemed uneventful.
Dudley didn't know what to say at this time, was he a victim or a profiteer?, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Old Deng said that I can't cast spells without a wand, and I can't learn Animagus. Is it true that he said you can help with this?"
"yes," Grindelwald put down his empty goblet, and pulled out a blue potion from one pocket of his bathrobe, "just drink this." ”
Dudley took the potion from Grindelwald's hand, his heart filled with distrust, anyway, this man was the one who was using him for research, and it seemed that the potion had been prepared in advance.
Hell knows if there are any other additives.
What a shrewd man Grindelwald is, having lived for so many years, it is easy to look at Dudley's face and guess the thought, "Drink, you can't die, I'm not doing this for you." With that said, the decision is entirely yours. ”
Dudley raised an eyebrow and gave Grindelwald a defiant glance, then he lifted the cap of the flask and poured it into his mouth in one fell swoop.
He smashed it and smashed it, the potion tasted good, cold and with a hint of paralysis.
It didn't take long for him to feel a tingling sensation all over his body, as if a light electric current was running through every part of his body.
It didn't last long, and then he felt like his bones were going to melt away.
"Ah......h
Dudley slipped off the soft couch in pain, rolling on the cold floor.
As time passed, Dudley's movements became smaller and smaller, and at last he lay motionless on the ground like a mess of mud.
Grindelwald touched his chin and looked at Dudley on the ground, and he muttered to himself, "Is there something wrong with the potion?"
"Huh?"
He noticed that Dudley's body was gradually beginning to change, and gradually ...... Dudley's arms slowly grew feathers, eventually transforming into a pair of wings.
The process of change continued, and as time passed, Dudley eventually became a bird, not small, about a meter in size, with a pair of large wings on its back, and a pair of smaller wings, a total of four.
"I said it couldn't be a problem. Grindelwald replied in the affirmative.
An hour later, Dudley, who had been unconscious, came to his senses, he thought he was dead, and he didn't expect to see Grindelwald's old face.
It's just that there's something wrong with the perspective in my eyes.
Dudley scolded and tried to stand up, but he couldn't control his body.
"Don't mess around, you've just finished the Animagus," Grindelwald grabbed a piece of fruit on the table and shoved it into his mouth, waiting for him to finish eating, "first feel your new body carefully, and try to control it slowly." ”
Dudley couldn't do much if he wanted to, he could only chirp, and all he knew now was that he had probably become a bird.
It took him more than ten minutes to control his body to stand up, after all, the transformation just now consumed a lot of energy and strength.
"I'll show you what you look like now. ”
Grindelwald pointed in front of Dudley, and a mirror slowly appeared from top to bottom.
If Dudley could speak now, he really wanted to shout, "Cool!"
The body of a majestic bird has a sharp beak and a blue lightning bolt on its head.
Dudley flapped his powerful wings lightly, and then he finally realized that something was wrong, there was no bird with lightning on its head, and there were already two pairs of wings.
He wanted to ask, but he couldn't speak.
"Aren't you curious, what have you become?" Grindelwald smiled faintly, as if he could see directly into Dudley's heart.
"The reason why you think experiments can give you magical power is because I fused magical creatures with you, so that you can control magic through the power of magical creatures. ”
Dudley's heart was pounding, he was fused with magical creatures!
Then his Animagus was also a magical creature, but he remembered that it was mentioned in the book that Animagus could not transform into a magical creature, and that if he did so, it would have unpredictable consequences.
"Aren't you panicking right now, knowing that Animagus can't be turned into a magical creature," Grindelwald paused, and he said, "Oh, by the way, this magical creature you became is called a thunderbird!"
Dudley stared at Grindelwald desperately with a pair of bird's eyes, wanting to kill him, what if he couldn't change back.
"You shouldn't have that kind of unpredictable consequences, after all, the unpredictable consequences are because wizard magic and magical creature magic operate fundamentally differently. ”
"Should it?" Dudley shouted angrily, only to realize that he had just finished his transformation because of annoyance.
"You didn't say what I just said...... Grindelwald gave Dudley a faint look.
Dudley looked at Grindelwald puzzled, what did this mean, he reacted suddenly, turned his stiff neck to look at the mirror in front of him.
At this time, he has returned to a normal human body, but there are still two pairs of wings behind his back.
"Groove!" Dudley's heart collapsed, what is going on, the magic version of Lei Zhenzi......
"Isn't there no bad thing? What do you say about this now?" Dudley asked loudly as he rushed to Grindelwald.
"Who knows, it stands to reason that there won't be such a transformation result, maybe you can try to see if you can change the wings back for yourself. Grindelwald spread his hands and said, "Now it's time for you to go back." ”
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Dudley's glowing magic circle reappeared, and before he could say anything, he felt weightlessness again, and when he came to his senses, he was back in the Hogwarts kitchen.
Dudley added a disillusionment charm to himself and sprinted towards Dumbledore's office on the eighth floor.
......
For some time afterward, Dudley had spent a great deal of effort mastering the Animagus, and had begun to cast spells without a wand and without a sound. He also told Dumbledore about the Horcruxes, as he had previously discussed with him.
After a period of adaptation, Dudley found that there seemed nothing wrong with having two more pairs of wings, and he could now fly without the help of any tools, and if the illusion spell reached its peak, he would make the wings invisible so that others would not see that he had wings.
It's just flying, the bigger bonus is his magic power, since the last time, his magic power is like a fountain, and the magic power gushes out.
Every day grew by leaps and bounds, and in such a short period of time, his magic power was almost equal to that of Dumbledore.
This brought Dudley a big surprise, you must know that Dumbledore has his current magic power, it has taken a hundred years, and he has only been able to reach Dumbledore's current magic level in just two years.
He and Dumbledore only lack the accumulation of knowledge and experience, and there is no way to achieve this quickly, only by the accumulation of time......
With absolute ability, Dudley did not intend to develop slowly, and treated Voldemort slowly. He directly gathered all the Horcruxes, and only waited for a moment to destroy them uniformly.
The soul of Voldemort hidden in Harry's body was eliminated by Dudley and Dumbledore.
With no worries about the future, Dudley and Dumbledore set off directly for the deep forests of Albania, where Voldemort's remnant soul roamed.
Dumbledore kept an eye on Voldemort.
By the time they sought out Voldemort, he was now too weak, after all, the two souls that had split out had been wiped out.
Dudley directly took out Voldemort's many Horcruxes, transformed into a thunderbird under Voldemort's surprised gaze, and destroyed all of Voldemort's Horcruxes with the power of thunder and lightning.
Voldemort was now in and out of nowhere, too weak to utter a full sentence.
In Dumbledore's exclamation, Voldemort dissipated and ceased to exist in this world.
Dudley looked at the place where Voldemort had disappeared, and he was equally impressed, he didn't expect it to end so quickly. He shook his head, it wasn't quite over......
Back at school, Dudley forcibly took Ron and his baby mouse to the principal's office.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, the mouse turned into Peter Pettigrew......
It was all simple and straightforward, and a week later, Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, was released from Azkaban.
Harry also moved into Black's house, the big house to get lost in.
......
Five years later, Dudley was sitting alone at the top of the castle and looking at the starry sky. A girl suddenly appeared from behind him, wearing a pale yellow dress with fluffy blond hair.
"Guess you're here......" The girl said, a smile on her lips and she slipped into Dudley's arms.
