"Dudley, is it really okay?"

Hermione's little face flushed, and she looked around nervously, for fear that someone would suddenly appear.

"I... It's my first time..."

kept lowering his head and fiddling with the corners of his clothes.

"It's my first time, but I'm relieved."

Dudley thumped his chest.

"Trust me, I'm strong at that."

"But if it's discovered—" Hermione hesitated, looking confused, after all, it was the first time she had done such a thing, "or forget it." ”

This kind of thing is just as exciting as skipping class.

"Don't worry, soon, I'll be in and out in a while."

Dudley saw that Hermione was very hesitant, so he gave her a shot in the arm: "Hermione, you don't want to..."

"You're hungry in the middle of the night, aren't you?"

'Goo... Goo...'

As soon as the words fell, someone's stomach rang out very tacitly and at the right time.

Hermione's little face flushed even more.

"Come and wait for me."

Dudley strode into the Hogwarts kitchen next to the Hufflepuff common room.

The moment Dudley stepped into the kitchen, the kitchen, which had been clanging before, fell silent.

"Dear little wizard, is there anything I can do to help you?"

A respectful voice rang out beneath Dudley's body.

Dudley leaned down and saw a humanoid creature standing respectfully at his feet.

It was a small, skinny, skinny species, with a tennis-sized carzlan with large eyes and bat-like ears, and a nose that resembled Snape's, though impolite.

If anything resembles Dudley's impression, it's probably a malnourished version of a goblin with normal skin color.

It is also somewhat similar to the Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" series of novels written by Dudley, except that the ears are larger and the nose is a little more pointed.

Of course, it is also a little similar to the goblins of Gringotts, but the elves have sharp teeth.

House-elves, a magical species, according to the history of magic, are a vassal race of wizards, elves who have served wizards for generations.

It is worth mentioning that house-elves themselves have strong magical powers, and even many adult wizards who are not good at fighting are not their opponents.

According to the History of Hogwarts, Hogwarts' kitchen is handled by house-elves.

"I'm a little hungry, can I use the kitchen here?"

Dudley looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the large iron pot on the stove.

"You... Do you think our food is not delicious? ”

I only heard the house-elf tremble and say, and then directly hit the wall with his head, making a 'knock' sound.

"Bad zipper... Bad zipper... The food you cook is hard for the little wizard to swallow. ”

Dudley shouted, "Stop..."

Although I have known for a long time that the brain circuits of house-elves are more peculiar, I didn't expect that...

Five minutes later, Dudley came out of the kitchen with a bucket of fried chicken and sauerkraut sausages.

"So much."

Hermione looked at the pile of food and said in surprise, "You ransacked the kitchen?" ”

"Inside... Quite welcoming. ”

Dudley didn't want to delve into the issue and changed the subject: "Eat while it's hot, it's time to go and rest later." ”

In a little while, it's time to rest at Hogwarts, and if you wander around the castle again, you will be locked up by Filch, the administrator.

Although Dudley had never been caught by him during the night tour.

In a few moments, the two of them wiped out the large pile of food, most of which went into Dudley's stomach to be exact.

Instead of going straight back to the Slytherin common room, Dudley took a random window, climbed to the castle wall, and climbed up the castle's spire.

After eating, you need to exercise well, Dudley hasn't done his evening workout yet.

Different from the morning exercise in the early morning, this time Dudley's body, legs, and wrists burst out with golden electric sparks.

Ripple Qigong.

During the day it is pure physical exercise, while at night it is a ripple qigong practice.

Day after day, year after year, every day.

By this time, Hermione had returned to the Gryffindor common room.

"Where have you been?"

As soon as Hermione arrived in the break room, she caught the attention of many Gryffindors in the lounge.

She and Dudley did not attract Gryffindor's attention when they left, but after all, it was Hermione, the little witch who liked to raise her hand to answer questions and earn points for Gryffindor, unlike Dudley, who was selectively 'forgotten' by Slytherin, Gryffindor's side suddenly didn't hear 'Gryffindor Plus... The phrase 'points' was somewhat unaccustomed, and Hermione was naturally remembered.

"I can't believe it, Hermione, I heard you skipped class."

It was Cowmike McLagan, a Gryffindor senior who was one year older than Hermione, who was looking at Hermione in an exaggerated tone.

"I don't think we're familiar enough to call each other by name, Mr. McLagan."

Hermione didn't give the other party even a good look, and said coldly.

"All right, Miss Jack-of-all-trades."

The title Miss Know-It-All feels good at first glance, she knows everything, but it's actually more of a sarcasm.

Hermione has a not-so-good habit of not going straight to the point when she encounters a problem, but going to go through everything she knows from beginning to end, and then point out your mistakes very bluntly...

Jack-of-all-trades alludes to her being talkative and annoying.

"I just kindly came over to remind you, don't go the wrong way, if I were you, I would pay attention to it."

"If you continue like this, no one in the whole Gryffindor will like you, no!"

It's not for nothing that he's saying that, Hermione and Dudley are very close, as evidenced by how often they go in and out of the Hogwarts library together, but it doesn't matter who the little wizard wants to be with.

The important thing is - Dudley is a Slytherin.

Impulsive and stupid, Gryffindors don't care what your reason is, in their opinion, as a Gryffindor, you should keep your distance from Slytherin and draw a line, and if you don't draw a line, you are a betrayer.

As for Harry? That's different, Dudley is Harry's cousin, and Harry is special.

He's the savior, he's the saint Potter.

Double standard, which every carbon-based creature likes to dry.

Of course, not all Gryffindors were directed at Hermione, just stupid, nasty, and self-righteous people were everywhere, and there were quite a few.

Hermione doesn't care about this, she's a very assertive little witch who always does things her own way, and she doesn't fit in... Especially this one... This is also the reason why she is not popular with Gryffindor, even though she fights for a lot of points for the house, but... They don't care.

At first, it was nothing, until recently Hermione kept things in the common room often lost inexplicably, such as when she got up this morning, she didn't find her shoes for a long time, but fortunately she brought a lot of them.

But she never told Dudley about that.

In fact, this phenomenon is normal at Hogwarts, after all, where there are people, there will be 'contradictions' or bullying.

Whether it is an ordinary person's school or a school of witchcraft and wizardry, this phenomenon exists, but most of the time the conflict at Hogwarts is transferred to other houses, such as Snape and James, but this situation actually happens in their own internal houses, such as Luna, who will be assigned to Ravenclaw House in a year.

Cowmike said and looked around, and the Gryffindors all laughed cooperatively, and the laughter was so harsh.

Only Neville, who was sitting in the corner with a bandage on his arm, his lips twitched slightly, as if he was trying to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
