Chapter Eighty-Eight: Harry and the Dragon
The next morning, Neville's intermittent sobs woke everyone in the dorm.
The people sitting on the bed looked at each other in confusion, and then realized that it was Neville who was crying.
Understand!
They consciously changed out of their pajamas and helped Neville search around the corners. They were used to it, as Neville's toad disappeared a few times a month.
Eventually, Harry found Neville's toad in the corner of the bathroom.
Normally, Neville Toad doesn't cry when he loses it, after all, he has lost it so many times, and the reason why he cries today is entirely because he is going home, and he is too anxious.
Dudley sat on the train home, looking out the window at the flashing scenery, the holiday should have been a happy thing, but he was not happy at all.
He sighed, no matter how you look at this Harry Potter world, there is a sense of collapse. He felt this way because of what had happened the year before, and because he had been called in by Dumbledore again last night to talk.
Last night, after everyone had eaten their meal in the Great Hall, Dumbledore walked briskly to Dudley's side, and he asked gently, "Would you like to go for a walk with me, an old man?"
He looked at the three little lions who were waiting for Dudley and said, "Go back first, don't wait for him." ”
So, Dudley was sold.
"It's too late, I'm afraid of the dark!" he decisively refused, it's been a year, every time Dumbledore comes to him, nothing good happens, and if he doesn't learn his lesson, he will continue to follow Dumbledore, I'm afraid that he won't dislike his life too long.
The corners of Dumbledore's eyes twitched, and he was still afraid of the dark, I don't know if it was because he had a lot of fun in the Forbidden Forest that night.
"It always feels like you're not thinking about a good thing right now. Dudley shook his head like a rattle, and retreated a few steps back in disgust, he wouldn't have beaten him to death.
"You guy......" Dumbledore held out a hand and nodded Dudley's forehead, "You really don't want to go with me?
Dudley raised an eyebrow, isn't this a joke? He's a man who's seen the eight-part series, there's something Harry doesn't know, and even if he does, it's not important, he knows everything that matters!
"What's the matter?"
"Come with me. ”
Look to the sky!
Large-scale real incense scene.
Hogwarts Castle 8th floor, inside the Headmaster's office.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go for a walk?"
"Didn't you say you're afraid of the dark?"
Dudley rubbed his head, which had begun to swell, and his brain hurt, and when he saw Dumbledore, his head hurt.
After sitting awkwardly for a while, Dumbledore pushed Dudley a newspaper.
Dudley took the newspaper and looked at it, but his hands trembled, and he was shocked by what the newspaper was about. However, I have no culture, and I go to the world in a word.
He spread the newspaper flat on the table, rubbed his eyes and read it again, but unfortunately it was not a dream, and he saw that the newspaper clearly wrote a report.
The latest report on the attack on Romania by the dragons.
For more than a month, Romania has been attacked by large groups of dragons, resulting in a large number of Muggle casualties and destruction of buildings. One dragon training expert said that so many attacks should have been organized and disciplined.
According to the greatest White Wizard of the century, Mr. Albus Dumbledore, many of the dragons that attacked the area have long since disappeared into history, and a few have not been recorded at all.
Today, the Minister of the Ministry of Magic of Romania said that the Ministry of Magic is running out of manpower and is sending letters of assistance to various countries asking for help in protecting Romania.
"It's... Dragons Flurry?" Dudley stammered, he couldn't believe the report, Dumbledore's name was on it, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. There was a rare hint of confusion in Dumbledore's eyes.
Dudley rubbed his temples, the news was so exciting that his head flashed and he seemed to get to the point, and he asked uncertainly, "You don't want to say that this incident has something to do with Harry, do you?"
"Probably. Dumbledore replied ambiguously, the dragon attack was strange everywhere, he didn't have time to investigate this matter before, and the school still wanted him to be in charge, otherwise Voldemort would not be able to go to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, "Remember the dragon egg we ate?"
"You want to say that we didn't have anything to do after eating, but Harry had auditory hallucinations and heard the roar of a dragon?"
"Yes, judging by the timing, not long after that, there was a dragon attack on Romania. Dumbledore didn't investigate, he was just guessing, but he felt that this guess was basically right, "I'll leave for Romania tonight to investigate, and you should stay at home during the summer vacation and don't run around." ”
Dudley couldn't help but complain: "Ghosts run around, the world is so dangerous." ”
......
Hermione nudged, "What are you thinking?" ”
"It's nothing," Dudley felt like he was going to have a hard time this summer.
"Let's talk about it then," Ron said excitedly.
Dudley's head was a little dizzy, and he didn't hear a word of their conversation at first, "Say what?" for the sake of a smooth summer vacation, he decided to keep a strict watch on Harry.
"Come to my house this summer," said Ron, "all three of you are coming, and Harry has agreed in your place, and I'll send an owl to invite you then." ”
To be honest, Dudley was moved, and he really wanted to see what the magical family was like, and if he went with Harry, he should be in charge of Harry.
"Rest assured, we will go. ”
Hermione reminded them to get ready to get off the bus, she didn't want to wait a long time out of the station like Christmas.
The train stopped, and they ran out first, walking out of the platform unimpeded.
As soon as Dudley stepped out of the platform, he heard someone shouting excitedly.
"Mom, which one is him, and where is he?"
A little girl with bright brown eyes and long fiery red hair, she is Ron's sister Ginny. Because of Dudley, Ginny only knew about Harry Potter in Ron's letters.
Dudley poked Harry with his elbow, "Ten golden Galleons, I bet you, she's definitely your little fan." ”
Harry blushed and looked a little overwhelmed.
"Don't shout, Ginny, it's rude to point fingers. Mrs. Weasley looked down at the crowd with a smile, patted Dudley and Harry, and called out their names accurately.
"Thank you so much for taking care of my son at school. ”
"Mrs. Weasley, you're gracious, and I want to thank you for giving me a gift at Christmas!"
Harry hurriedly said, "Me too, thank you so much for the gift, Mrs. Weasley. ”
