Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 27: A ridiculous and hastily ended midnight duel



Malfoy was obviously startled by Dudley. When he saw it was Dudley, he panicked and said, "No, it's nothing. I want to go out and relax, but you, why are you hiding in the passage so late at night?"

Dudley pointed to the hidden door on the stone wall, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "The password was changed, and no one told me."

Malfoy frowned and said impatiently: "The new password is 'Parseltongue'. If you know it, hurry in."

Malfoy was about to leave, but Dudley held him back. Dudley said slowly: "Master Malfoy, it's not good to go out so late. What if Mr. Filch catches you?" It would be bad if we Slytherin lost points."

Draco Malfoy rolled his eyes. The whole Slytherin knew that Dudley was an "honorary Gryffindor". Every time Gryffindor scored, he was happier than the Gryffindor students. He said He was afraid that Slytherin would lose points, even if he didn't believe it.

Malfoy sighed and said helplessly: "It seems that Potter has told you. Potter and I have made an appointment for a wizard duel in the trophy room tonight. I...I am planning to go to the appointment. .”

Only then did Dudley remember that this was indeed the case in the original work. Out of jealousy that Harry had received the brand new Nimbus 2000 as a gift, Malfoy proposed a wizard duel to Harry.It seems that Dudley missed this episode because he went back to the dormitory to sleep without finishing breakfast.

But as far as Dudley knew, Malfoy did not go to the trophy room at all, but secretly tipped off Mr. Filch, intending to have Harry punished.Dudley looked at the sneaky and lonely Malfoy, and he probably knew what was going on.

"But, Master Malfoy, I heard that wizards need to bring an assistant with them to duel. Why did you come out alone?" Hearing Dudley's question, Malfoy's eyes rolled around, as if he was making up a story. .

But before he could say anything, Dudley interrupted him: "I understand. Neither Goyle nor Crabbe are available today. I understand. I understand."

Then Dudley put his hand on Malfoy's shoulder with an affectionate look and said, "But it's against the rules not to have an assistant. So, let me be Master Malfoy's assistant. I'll go with you."

"Wait..." Before the shocked Malfoy could agree, Dudley forcefully pushed him towards the trophy room.

Dudley's idea was simple. Since Malfoy was going to tell the truth, he should just follow him closely without giving him the chance to tell the truth.

He did not intend to take the risk of letting the Harry trio face the three-headed dog or Filch. Although in the original plot, the Harry trio finally saved the day, but now the plot has been changed to something different by Dudley Devil. At this level, who knows if it can still develop according to the original plot.

As for the so-called wizard duel between Harry and Malfoy, Dudley didn't think there was anything to worry about. Harry and Malfoy's current magic level was about the same as Dudley's. They could make the wands sparkle even if they succeeded. That is to say, hand-to-hand fighting can solve the problem.

Pushing the reluctant Malfoy, Dudley came to the prize display room. The Harry trio and Neville had been waiting here for a long time. They were all surprised when they saw Dudley and Malfoy arriving together.

"Ahem" Dudley cleared his throat pretendingly: "I'm Malfoy's assistant...wait a minute, don't look at me like that, it makes me look like I've betrayed someone. "

Ron and Harry had "you traitor" expressions on their faces, which made Dudley smile bitterly: "Okay, okay, it's getting late. Hermione, you will be the referee. Neville, go over there and look out for any movement." Less, and a quick victory.”

Hermione seemed to understand what Dudley meant. Her originally frowning and worried face showed a smile, and she began to direct the duel between Harry and Malfoy with a serious look: "Okay, gentlemen, pick up your wands." , everyone is in position, three, two, one, let’s start!”

“The flow won’t stop!” X2

Just as Dudley had predicted, both Harry and Malfoy cast the "Snot Curse" on each other at the same time, but it seemed that both sides were not at home. Malfoy's curse only flew a few dozen centimeters before falling weakly. On the ground, Harry's wand jumped sharply, and the spell hit the ceiling and bounced back to Neville's feet, startling Neville.

Then Harry and Malfoy threw away their wands and struggled with each other in a tacit understanding. Dudley watched the two children fight with interest for almost three minutes. Seeing that their energy was almost exhausted, Dudley walked up. Separate the two.

"Okay, okay, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are out at the same time due to violation of physical contact regulations. It's the turn of assistants Ron Weasley and Dudley Dursley to fight instead, three two one, I surrender, okay , the duel is over, congratulations to Harry and Ron." Dudley dragged Malfoy away while perfunctorily ending the duel.

Ron didn't even have time to pull out his wand, and Harry was confused by this inexplicable victory, unable to feel any joy of victory.

"Thank you Dudley, I was still thinking about how to stop the two of them from dueling Malfoy." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and asked doubtfully: "By the way, how did you know that Malfoy and Harry had an appointment here today? "

"It's just a coincidence. It's getting late. Take them back quickly. Be careful and don't get caught by Filch and Mrs. Norris." After Dudley finished speaking, he said goodbye to Hermione and the others, and forcefully He took Malfoy, who was still a little unwilling to admit defeat, and left.

"It's not fair, you have more people bullying others with less power!" Malfoy complained angrily.

"That's almost it, Master Malfoy. You know very well whether you really planned to duel at the beginning." Dudley patted Malfoy on the shoulder. Malfoy also knew that he was in the wrong, so he remained silent.

Suddenly, when he reached the corner of the corridor, Malfoy grabbed Dudley's robe and said, "Wait, Filch is on the floor in front. Let's not go that way and go around from the third floor above."

Dudley didn't ask why Malfoy knew Filch's patrol route. In the original work, since Malfoy could inform Filch and let them catch Harry, he must have his own way, so the two of them walked quietly. up the stairs.

It was already late at night, so the stairs were unlit and looked particularly eerie.Dudley and Malfoy walked side by side, relying on the moonlight to illuminate the road, and slowly walked up the steps, feeling fuzzy in their hearts.

"Ha, aren't you a little scared?" Malfoy took the initiative to whisper to Dudley, but Dudley could hear that his voice was slightly trembling. "You will definitely become more courageous if you hang around with Potter all day long." As small as he is."

Dudley knew that Malfoy was talking to him deliberately to embolden him, and just as he was about to quarrel with him, suddenly, a bone-gnawing cold air suddenly came from his back.

Through the cold moonlight, Dudley vaguely saw a cloaked figure at the door of the fourth-floor corridor above him. He seemed to have heard the footsteps of Dudley and Malfoy, and the figure turned to them mechanically. direction.
