Chapter 203: The Covenant of the Top Ten

"It's good to have faith."

"It's just the result..."

"Alas!"

Seeing that Dudley's words were quite optimistic, Louis couldn't help but sigh secretly, and he couldn't bear to reveal the extremely cruel truth in front of him.

At this time, he could see that Dudley did have a certain longing for the magical world, and his mother Penny also had a sense of relief because Harry was adopted by Jason and Sophia.

It's a rarity.

After all, it hurts to think of how much Penny had looked forward to going to Hogwarts in the first place, and how hopeless she was after being brutally rejected by Dumbledore several times.

Ultimately...

All her wonderful desires for magic were twisted into jealousy of Lily.

Even that jealousy was naturally transferred to her blood relative Harry after Lily's misfortune happened.

Now, Petunia is clearly changing for the better, at least she can come to terms with the past, and she can talk to Dudley about the wizarding world she occasionally knows, or hope that Dudley will have the opportunity to go to Hogwarts instead of her.

The only thing that's regrettable...

Whether it's Penny or Dudley, the two may be destined to be disappointed.

The reason is that, according to Louie's conclusions from summarizing the data analysis, he knows that Dudley has two years left at most.

If Dudley can awaken the basic endowment as a wizard within these two years, even if there is even a little magic in his body, he can get the admission letter to Hogwarts as he wishes, otherwise he will completely lose the possibility of becoming a wizard.

Like Louie's loyal servant, Filch "Gin" of the Distillery, he has no hope of having his own magic to use magic.

Of course.

Even if Dudley really doesn't have the basic talent to become a wizard as he did in the plot of the movie, Louis can give Filch part of his silent magic, let him use his silent magic to enjoy the feeling of casting magic, and get a free "wizard experience card" for life.

However, remembering that the "Wizard Experience Card" is still a palliative solution, Louis thought in confusion in his heart:

"Does it really take a fortune to become a wizard?"

"Isn't there a better way to get Muggles under the age limit to awaken such endowments?"

As soon as he thought of this, more confusion surfaced in his mind, which actually made Louis slightly stunned.

What is the sorcerer's so-called Fu?

It's the right to use the magic.

According to his understanding, magic is the embodiment of the spiritual will, which in turn comes from a soul.

And every living person must have a soul.

So...

Why do some people inexplicably get the right to use magic power, while others don't have the basic qualifications to become wizards?

What's missing?

Is it because some of Rao's souls are different in strength and weakness, and their spiritual will is not strong enough, or is there really a lack of some fatal detail?

There was no doubt that this was a question that Louis thought was worth delving into, but before he could find the answer, he suddenly asked another question while smiling in front of Dudley:

"Dudley, would you love to go to Hogwarts? Accurate... Is it that you really want to be a wizard? ”

"Well, that's right."

Dudley nodded seriously and replied directly, "I would love to continue attending the same school with Harry and Draco in the future." ”

"How much do you want?" Louis continued to ask with a smile.

"Uh... How? ”

Dudley hesitated, stretched out his arms and gestured at Louie, and asked weakly, "Louie, I think so, can you understand what I mean?" ”

"Probably... Yes, yes. ”

Pacing forward and patting Dudley's shoulder, Louis slowly retracted the smile on his face and said solemnly: "But Dudley, many things are useless, do you know what I mean?" ”

Dudley shook his head dryly, "I don't understand." ”

"Okay, then mine is a little simpler."

Louis took a deep breath and said, "Dudley, you really want to become a wizard and go to Hogwarts with Harry and Draco, but it is useless to talk about it, you must use practical actions to show that you are determined." ”

"Then I... What exactly is to be done? Dudley asked, blankly.

"It's simple."

Louis smiled, "It's still a while before your final exams, Dudley, I know your academic performance is not very good, but if you can get in the top ten of your class in the final exam, I guarantee you will get a Hogwarts admission letter in the future, how about it?" ”

"Before... Top 10? ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, the corners of Dudley's mouth twitched a few times, and he said weakly: "Louie, you must be joking, right?" With my grades... How can you get into the top 10 of your class? ”

"I'm not happy if I'm not the penultimate one!"

"So... You need to work hard, like Harry did. ”

Pushing in the direction of the living room, Louis said with relief: "You see, Harry also studied hard after the Christmas holidays, isn't his grades very good now?" ”

"Dudley, believe in yourself, you can do it!"

"Unless..."

"What you just said was a lie, in fact, you didn't make up your mind to go to Hogwarts at all, it's just."

Seeing that Dudley was still hesitant, Louis brought Harry a glass of hot milk, and told him that the sandwich had been smashed and that he was going out to buy something to eat at home.

It didn't take long.

When Louis brought back the sumptuous food from the dining room outside, and after the few people had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, when the self-volunteering Harry was tidying up the table, Dudley, who had a bit of determination in his eyes, came to his side and asked:

"Louie, just your... Is it true? ”

"Dudley, what do you mean?"

"I'm referring to going to Hogwarts."

Dudley asked with a solemn expression, "If I can really get into the top ten in the class during the final exam, then you... Is there really a guarantee that I will receive an offer of admission to Hogwarts? ”

"Of course."

Louis nodded, pointed to Harry who was busy in the living room, and said, "Dudley, if you don't believe me, you can ask Harry, did I lie to him?" ”

"Good!"

"Louie, I believe in you!"

Dudley clenched his fists hard:

"I'm going to prove to you that I'm sure I'll be able to fulfill my mother's wishes, and I'll be able to fulfill my promise to Harry and Draco that I'll never be separated!"

Cease.

Dudley walked away with a determined stride, apparently wanting to finish his homework as quickly as possible so that Harry could catch up on his missed homework as soon as possible.

When Louis saw Dudley's desire to work hard, he shook his head with a smile, hoping that he could keep going, not just three minutes of enthusiasm.

To know.

There is an agreement between the two about the top ten, and no matter what Dudley thinks, Louis is serious about it.

Therefore.

When Louis returned to his room on the second floor, sometimes using magic to perceive Harry and Dudley, who were studying hard, his true thoughts were...

"If Dudley can fulfill our agreement, even... Why if I really need to spend some mana? ”
