Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Normally, he would have been a little worried about Snape talking to Dudley, but now Dudley was extremely grateful to Snape for giving him a reason to escape from the embarrassing situation.

Pansy reluctantly let go of Dudley's sleeves. Dudley smiled apologetically at Pansy, then stood up and followed Snape.Malfoy showed a gloating expression. It seemed that he thought Dudley was going to be criticized by Snape.

"Although the school does not prohibit interactions between students, we still recommend that you don't be too high-profile." After walking out of the banquet hall, Snape walked side by side with Dudley in the empty corridor and whispered: "Especially because you are only second-year students. It’s still an age when learning is the most important thing.”

"Ahem, what are you talking about, Professor Snape." Dudley responded with some embarrassment, "How can Pansy and I have such a relationship, and we are only 12-year-old kids... .”

"After knowing your deeds, I don't think anyone will treat you as an ordinary 12-year-old child." Snape and Dudley arrived at his office, a room located underground in Hogwarts. "As long as I'm with you It has something to do with it, no matter how outrageous it is, I won’t find it strange.”

Snape came behind the desk and pointed to a chair in front of him: "Sit down and relax. Today is just a simple conversation. I am not going to confine you - although strictly speaking, you have not been in confinement for last year." over."

Dudley sat down. Snape's office was as dark as ever, with all kinds of strange glass jars placed on the grids on the wall.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you. It seems that you have successfully solved the curse on your body, which saves me the effort of helping you prepare potions." Snape said slowly, "However, from what Dumbledore said, it seems that you are still Need to continue preparing another potion?”

Dudley nodded, took out a small bag from his waistband, and then handed the fist-sized magic stone to Snape: "Yes, Mr. Nicoléme taught me how to use the magic stone to make potions. The recipe..."

"Wait, wait!" Snape said nervously, and then with a wave of his wand, the door clicked and locked.

"You are too defenseless, Dudley Dursley, do you know how valuable this magic stone is in your hand?" Snape frowned and said sternly: "It represents infinite wealth and immortality. The secret, if I had evil intentions, I could snatch this magic stone away on the spot!"

Dudley shrugged easily. He knew that there were many people in the world who were spying on the Philosopher's Stone because of their greed for life and fear of death, but he was even more certain that the man in front of him named Severus Snape was not among the list.

"Actually, the less you care about the value of this thing, the better you can protect it." Dudley threw the magic stone to Snape, and Snape's expression changed and he quickly caught it with both hands, "After all, if you put it in a safe place, Everyone knows that what is in the cabinet is a treasure. But if a 12-year-old child throws a stone randomly on the side of the road, even if I say it is a magic stone, not many people will believe it."

"Besides, I think Dumbledore also knows that I will ask for your help." Dudley said honestly without any disguise, "Professor, I still need further guidance from you on the preparation of the potion, and you may also need to provide some materials."

Snape carefully looked at the magic stone in his hand. After a moment, he sighed and said, "I don't know where you got the courage to believe in me so much...Okay, tell me the formula."

After hearing what Dudley said about the formula, Snape's face gradually became serious. He threw the Philosopher's Stone back to Dudley, and then said seriously: "I'll forget it, but it's best not to tell anyone about your formula." Anyone...if I guess correctly, this is very close to the elixir of life, enough to arouse the prying eyes of others!"

Dudley nodded, put the Philosopher's Stone back into the bag and hung it on his waist. Seeing Dudley treating the Philosopher's Stone so casually, Snape opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but gave up.

"The second thing is the news that Dumbledore asked me to convey to you." Snape quickly regained his initial calmness, "You can go to the gamekeeper's house later before the party is over. Now The students are all in the banquet hall, so even if a baby dragon appears briefly in the air, it probably won't cause a commotion."

Dudley's heart jumped. He hadn't seen Norberta for a long time and he really missed her.He originally considered summoning Norberta at the Burrow, but considering Norberta's appetite and the Weasley family's financial situation, he decided to let Newt take care of her for a while.

But after Snape finished speaking, it seemed that he had no intention of letting Dudley leave immediately. He crossed his fingers as if he was struggling with something.

"Actually, there is a third thing." Snape sighed, as if he was making up his mind, "But this is just my personal request...it has nothing to do with Dumbledore or Hogwarts. , or there is no direct connection.”

"You still remember the agreement I made with you at the end of last year," Snape said softly, "just before you went to France."

Dudley nodded. Although the spells he learned from Snape in exchange were useless, the agreement was still an agreement after all.

"This is a request, not a demand... I want you to be Draco Malfoy's friend - or at least protect him."

Dudley almost stood up. This was simply a fantasy, not to mention Draco's deep-rooted pure-blood ideology due to his family education. He had only formed a quarrel with the Malfoys a few weeks ago. It would be nice for Draco to find a chance to take revenge.

"I know this sounds ridiculous, and I know you don't like Draco." Snape stroked his greasy hair irritably, "But I still hope you try it, and I won't blame you if you fail. of."

Dudley took a deep look at Snape, and after confirming that he was not joking, he said in a deep voice: "What's the reason, Professor Snape, I want to know the reason why you asked me to do this."

"I think you have discovered that I seem to take special care of Draco." Snape said with a lonely face, "In fact, this stems from my relationship with Draco's parents... that is Lucius and Narcissa, although they don't know my true allegiance, they are my rare friends."

"Don't get me wrong, I will not affect my position because of my relationship with them." Snape took a deep breath and said, "When they go down the wrong path, I will personally stop them. This is also my role. The responsibility of a friend.”

"But Draco is innocent. He should have been able to take another path, but he was too deeply affected by his family." Snape stared at Dudley closely, "Dumbledore also told me that you Part of the 'prophecy' you made, although what you said may not happen again, it still makes me wary."

"But Pansy Parkinson's transformation opened my eyes to possibilities - possibilities I had never imagined before."
