206. Dursley is inflexible and demands justice too much
The first Defence Against the Dark Arts class ended without a hitch, and the young wizards walked out of the classroom with excitement on their faces.
We got together in twos and threes and chatted about the content of today's class.
The first real practical lesson made the little wizards gain a lot.
Although Professor Lupin had some accidents in class, it was because of Dudley, and Mr. Dursley could not be reasoned with, which was the unanimous consensus of the young wizards.
The course is generally smooth, much stronger than Lockhart, Quirrell and the like, as the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and naturally won the support of many young wizards.
Everyone is looking forward to the second Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.
When Harry and the others returned to the Gryffindor common room, they found that the hallway at the door was full of people.
"What's going on here?"
Harry patted the tall senior in front of him and asked curiously.
The senior, who was still a little upset about being photographed, immediately changed to a friendly tone after seeing that it was Harry, and explained: "The Gryffindor common room has been attacked, the portrait of the fat lady has been severely damaged, and the floor is full of those small pieces of canvas. ”
The Fat Lady is a portrait guarding the door to the Gryffindor common room, and unlike the Ravenclaw Bronze Ring, which lets in as long as she answers the right questions, the Fat Lady has a certain amount of autonomy.
"Do you know who did it?" Harry asked.
The senior replied with emotion: "Who else, that criminal Sirius, only he would do such a cruel thing, the fat lady is so pitiful, I think she should not be able to guard the gates of Gryffindor for a long time." ”
At this time, Dumbledore hurried over after receiving the report from the professors.
After a little bit of understanding what had happened, Dumbledore began to set things up.
He asked the professors to organize the students to rest in the Great Hall, and there was a dangerous person roaming Hogwarts, which was very dangerous for the young wizards.
Countless young wizards, led by the professors, made their way to the Great Hall and began to lay out the floor, and every three hours a professor would be in charge of patrolling.
Dumbledore pushed open the door to the Headmaster's office with some weariness.
Even if he has the title of the strongest white wizard in this century, he is already more than one hundred and ten years old.
Even if wizards generally live longer than ordinary people, more than 110 years old is definitely not a young adult, and the last magic stone that can prolong life has completely disappeared into the long river of history with the death of Nick Lemay.
Someone had been waiting there in the Headmaster's office for a long time, it was Dudley, who was teasing Fawkes with a bean-like treat, and greeted Dumbledore when he saw him return.
"Got it arranged?"
"The first half of the night was Minerva and Severus on patrol, and the second half of the night was Filius and Pomona."
Dumbledore sat down in his seat, pulled out a stick of licorice candy and first asked Dudley if he needed it, and after receiving a clear refusal reply, put the licorice candy in his mouth and tasted it.
Only when he has a sweet tooth will he be in a good mood.
Dudley glanced at licorice candy, which was filled with star anise oil in addition to granulated sugar and glucose.
It tastes like a toilet cleaner.
And only a wizard with a unique taste like Dumbledore would like it.
"Professor, this is the third time."
Dudley emphasized: "Remember your promise? ”
Of course Dumbledore remembered
'Hogwarts is the safest place to be.'
That's what he said.
Another slap in the face.
"Yes, of course I do."
Truth be told, Dumbledore was a little depressed as well.
In the first year, there was a Quirrell possessed by Voldemort, which is quite understandable, and Dumbledore knew about it in advance. The next year, Voldemort's Horcruxes were not to mention, and there was also a basilisk with a very high risk factor, which was beyond his expectations. Finally, Voldemort didn't do anything in the third year, but the castle was full of Dementors, and a wanted criminal infiltrated the castle.
It's a surprise every year, and it never goes unchecked.
Not even the Tumbledown Alley in the Dark Wizards' Gathering Area is so dangerous.
At least the place wouldn't be fatal, and the things that appeared at Hogwarts could easily kill an adult wizard every year.
"Professor, do you need my help this time?" Dudley watched Dumbledore eat candy and felt a little hungry as well, but instead of accepting any candy from Dumbledore, he took some cookies out of his pocket and put them in his mouth to chew.
It was a thumb biscuit that Dudley had Hagrid make in the crust pie method, and it sounded like he was eating his fingers, crunch, cracch.
Originally, I wanted Hagrid to add some cherry juice to it, which would be more like eating fingers, but recently it was not cherry season.
"He sabotaged the Gryffindor common room, which is under the jurisdiction of the disciplinary group."
Dumbledore had finished eating the licorice candy by this time, and Dudley handed him a finger biscuit, which Dumbledore also refused.
He didn't have the teeth of a roller like Dudley.
I don't know where to take out another bottle, and there is a dense pile of black beetle creatures in the bottle that are constantly climbing towards the mouth of the bottle, it is a cockroach pile, a candy that looks terrible and has a more terrible taste, it is said to taste good.
Dumbledore took one out of his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it, watching the tentacles of the cockroach candy twitch at the corner of Dumbledore's mouth, and the picture of the cockroach bursting in his mouth kept appearing in his mind, Rao Dudley couldn't help but jump his eyelids, and silently put down the thumb biscuit.
It's too hardcore.
As far as disgusting people go, I, Dalid, would like to call you the strongest.
Meimei ate a cockroach candy, Dumbledore's frowning brows widened slightly, and he said to Dudley in a serious tone, "Dudley, you're only a third-year student, Sirius is too dangerous." ”
To be sure, Dumbledore didn't quite believe that Sirius had done what had happened.
Although he is deviant, he will not betray his friends.
Dumbledore felt that there was some secret hidden in this, but he wanted Harry to solve the matter more than Dudley.
Although Dudley is good in nature and admires him very much, he does things. Well. I don't know how to be flexible, I demand justice too much, I am too extreme, too direct and too violent.
Set up a disciplinary team to uphold the principle of fairness and combat all bullying in schools.
There are many young wizards who have been expelled or crippled (Odrina was sent to St. Mungo, and the two bullies in the same dormitory have also dropped out of school).
Kill the trolls that threaten the lives of young wizards, kill the remnants of Voldemort who threaten Hogwarts (originally Dumbledore intended to let them go), destroy Voldemort's horcruxes that disturb the peace of Hogwarts, and kill the basilisk in the secret room that terrified Hogwarts.
Let him deal with it.
Dumbledore didn't think Dudley would show mercy to Sirius.
