Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

"How did you come up with a way to break through the trap set by Snape?" Dudley was changing the clean clothes Pansy had brought in a corner of the room.

"Potter and the others used the invisibility cloak to sneak into Professor Snape's office. Granger found a way to unlock the lock of his cabinet and stole the antidote that could break through the fire." Pansy squatted in the room with her legs crossed. The other corner, with his back to Dudley.

"According to Potter and the others, it is not difficult to break through those institutions with the help of the invisibility cloak. The difficult thing is how to avoid Professor McGonagall's surveillance. We have tried several times before and were stopped by Professor McGonagall... ..."

"But today she seems to have deliberately exposed a flaw to us, and even helped us hold back Snape. From what Potter and the others said, Professor McGonagall seemed to be very dissatisfied with Snape ignoring Professor Dumbledore's release order. So they deliberately turned a blind eye to us."

After listening to Pansy's story, Dudley pondered for a moment, thoughtfully.

After changing his clothes, Dudley patted Pansy's shoulder gently. Pansy shrank like a frightened rabbit. Dudley smiled and said, "Thank you, Pansy. I didn't expect that I would be suspected by everyone in this situation." Despite the situation, you and Harry still trust me so much."

Even in the dark room, Dudley could see Pansy's cheeks turning slightly red. Pansy whispered: "Harry and the others always thought that there was something wrong with Snape. He was Voldemort's subordinate, so he did it on purpose." Framing you... As for me, I just want to repay you for saving me on Halloween, I don't care who you are."

Dudley put on the invisibility cloak and leaned closely against Pansy: "Anyway, let's go out first. According to what you said, Snape will probably find out that his office has been broken into soon." .”

Pansy took out a small bottle, took a sip and handed it to Dudley. Dudley took it and was about to drink it when he suddenly heard a small scream from Pansy next to him.

"Wait, isn't that indirect...forget it, it's okay." Pansy turned her head so that Dudley wouldn't see her expression.

After drinking the potion, Dudley and Pansy walked carefully through the burning doorway. Just like when they came to save Harry before, the strong flames licked their bodies, but they could not feel any heat.

Under the protection of the invisibility cloak, neither the troll nor the giant wizard chess was activated. Dudley and Pansy successfully passed through the devil's net and reached the bottom of the trap door.

Opening the trap door, Dudley first heard a not-so-pleasant flute sound.Ron was playing a flute to coax Lu Wei to sleep. Although the flute was very out of tune, the three-headed dog Lu Wei didn't seem to care and still slept soundly.

"Come on, go to Hagrid first. My cheeks are almost sore." As soon as Ron put down the flute, Lu Wei stopped snoring, and the three of them hurried out of the room and closed the door.

After Dudley, who was under the invisibility cloak, walked down the stairs, he wanted to go to the passage of the underground classroom, but was immediately stopped by Ron and Pansy.

"Are you crazy? Snape's office is underground. If he finds out, it will be over." Ron said in a low voice.

"But I need to get my wand back." Dudley's tone was very firm. For his next plan, the elder wand was indispensable.

"I'll get it for you. I'm a Slytherin student, and no one will be suspicious of me entering Snape's office." Pansy volunteered.

"Then it's all up to you, Pansy." Dudley gratefully watched Pansy go away.

Under the cover of Ron, Dudley, hiding under the invisibility cloak, successfully slipped out of Hogwarts Castle.On the way, he saw that the expressions of the students were a little dull. It seemed that the school's long-term blockade of entry and exit for no reason had caused dissatisfaction among the students.

"I haven't seen the owl my father sent me for two weeks. Dumbledore doesn't know what he's doing." While passing by a group of Slytherin students, Dudley heard Draco Malfoy grumbling loudly: " Maybe Dumbledore is too old and a little confused, I will definitely let my father talk about it at the school board."

Dudley and Ron walked carefully through the grass outside the castle to Hagrid's hut. It was already evening and the sky was getting dark.

As soon as he approached Hagrid's field, Dudley saw Norberta lying on the ground suddenly woke up, looking around as if looking for something, looking confused.

"Dudley is here, right?" The door of the cabin opened a crack, and Hagrid's furry face poked out, looking very nervous: "I knew you were coming when I heard Norberta's movements... Come in first, then hurry up and don’t let anyone see you.”

After entering Hagrid's hut, Dudley was finally able to take off his invisibility cloak.Hagrid poured Dudley and Ron each a cup of hot tea and let them rest on their chairs.

"So what happened?" Hagrid said seriously: "Professor Dumbledore didn't say anything. He just announced that the school had temporarily blocked all access to the school. Dudley was also locked up. Hogwarts had never been there before. Ever tried to treat students like this... Even I was just——"

"They suspected that Dudley was a subordinate of the mysterious man." Ron said angrily: "It must have been Snape's trick. He deliberately framed Dudley to divert attention."

"Nonsense, Snape was trusted by Professor Dumbledore a long time ago. There must be some misunderstanding here." Hagrid seemed to recall something and said with a sad look on his face: "Of course, I don't believe that Dudley is a mysterious person either. It’s not like I haven’t experienced this kind of thing when a student is misunderstood by the school..."

But Dudley had something more important to confirm with Hagrid: "Hagrid, I want to ask you something. Did the incident of unicorn poaching you mentioned to me last time happen again recently?"

Hagrid looked at Dudley in confusion, as if he didn't understand why he was asking this question at this time: "I'm not sure about this. Since you were imprisoned, Norberta has not been allowed to leave the confines of the hut, and I have also been ordered not to do so at will." Enter the Forbidden Forest.”

At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Dudley quickly put on his invisibility cloak and hid it.But Dudley breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who came through the door - it was Harry and Hermione.

"It was so dangerous just now. Snape may have discovered that we were deliberately delaying him." Harry saw Dudley and stepped forward to give him a hug. "Fortunately, Professor McGonagall suddenly came over and asked him to help build a barrier for the school. Charge, anyway, it's great that you escaped, Dudley."

Dudley first expressed his gratitude to Harry and Hermione, then pondered for a moment and asked: "Harry, just now you said that the school's barrier needs to be recharged... Can you tell me more about this matter. "

"Completely blocking the entrance and exit of the school from both the physical and magical levels. This is a very advanced magic that requires mana." Hermione took over, "So the deans of each college will take turns charging the barrier every two hours. To maintain its effectiveness...that's what we learned when we eavesdropped on Professor McGonagall and Snape's conversation."

Hearing Hermione's words, Dudley frowned, looked at the clock on the wall, then lowered his head and muttered to himself, as if calculating something.

"Don't think about doing stupid things, Dudley." Hermione noticed Dudley's subtle move and persuaded: "Even when the barrier is at its weakest, we can't easily break through it. Besides, it's rare for Professor McGonagall to Since you have acquiesced to our actions, just stay still and stop doing things that may arouse suspicion."

"No, if we don't act now, it may be too late." Dudley raised his head and said resolutely: "Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, I need your help, can you trust me again? ?”
