Harry Potter: I Am Big D

[messed up Chapters numbers]

Chapter -88.

Dudley has been feeling a bit uneasy lately; his concern has indeed come true. In just a week, he found out that he had grown another five centimeters.

If this pattern continues, his height will likely exceed two meters before it levels off.

Sometimes being excessively tall and large isn't necessarily advantageous.

Especially when he stands next to Harry and the others, he resembles a character from a fairy tale—like a giant among a few tiny dwarfs.

With a sigh, Dudley pushed aside a massive rock that was half his size and caught a large spider that had dozed off in a cave beneath the rock.

The eight-eyed giant spiders are easiest to capture in winter; they seek out relatively warm caves to enter a dormant state and endure the cold winter.

During this time, they will stay asleep until their bodies reach a suitable temperature, posing no danger. This is the ideal moment to catch them.

Because they are alive at this time.

Dudley took out a test tube, pried open the giant spider's fangs, and positioned them at the mouth of the tube. With a firm press, it was like opening a small sluice gate, and soon the entire test tube was filled.

Carefully setting the test tube down, Dudley squeezed the venom again until not a single drop was left, then used the same method to search for another one.

Before long, Dudley had gathered a pile of eight-eyed giant spider venom.

After greeting Hagrid, Dudley made his way towards the castle; today was the weekly material collection day.

"That little brat, why is he always so disobedient?"

Hagrid observed Dudley's retreating figure, scratching his head in frustration. "Didn't I tell him that the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous?"

The only one who could refer to Dudley, who stood at 195 cm, as a little brat was probably this three-meter-tall half-giant.

He kept muttering, "I heard from the centaurs nearby that a mysterious giant has recently appeared, particularly fond of collecting hair and saliva from other magical creatures, forcing the unicorns to hide deep in the Forbidden Forest. Poor things. The last time I saw it, its fur was almost bald."

On the eve of Christmas, Dudley received letters from Petunia and Vernon.

It stated that they would not be coming to pick up Dudley and Harry for the Christmas holiday; they were going abroad for a vacation.

Vacation?

Leaving him and Harry behind to go on vacation? It made him question.

"Am I really their biological child?"

Standing next to Dudley, Hermione voiced the thought he hadn't expressed.

Hermione also received a letter from the Granger couple at the same time.

The content was exactly the same as that from Petunia and the others.

"Perhaps the two families arranged to go out together."

No perhaps, it's certain.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

"Harry, maybe after the holidays we will have a little brother or sister."

Dudley, holding the letter, suddenly said to Harry.

Hearing this, Harry's eyes brightened, instantly excited: "Really? Then I want a sister. I heard Ron say his sister Ginny is especially cute."

Is this something you can just wish for?

You should ask Vernon; the chromosomes are with him.

Not many little wizards stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas, and among the entire Slytherin, there was only Dudley. The other houses had only a few, and together they couldn't even form a soccer team.

"Although Neville and Malfoy are not here, you guys can't stop your training."

Dudley first made a brief statement, then took out a study plan he had prepared for everyone.

One copy for each person.

A full 20 inches.

It would definitely make their holiday extremely fulfilling; as for Dudley's own plan, it was measured in feet.

Harry and Hermione began studying the parchment as soon as they received it from Dudley, while Ron felt like crying.

To be honest, he really wanted his holiday to be a bit more relaxed and enjoyable, but everyone around him was working so hard, he simply couldn't relax and be a slacker.

In a mix of sadness and anger, Ron ended up eating three big bowls of potatoes and ten chicken legs, until his belly was round and full.

The next morning, after finishing a day of morning exercises, Dudley returned to his room and glanced at the corner piled high with many things, all gifts sent by owls.

They were stacked up like a small mountain.

"Why does it feel like there are more gifts than when I was at St. George's Primary School?"

He casually rummaged through them, and at the bottom of the pile, neatly stacked, were gifts from the Slytherin little wizards.

Everyone sent a gift; not a single person was left out.

When did he become so popular in Slytherin?

But everything was a glaring green that hurt the eyes.

The cover looked nice; maybe don't use it next time.

Clearly, Slytherin is a combination of silver and green; why do these people only see green?

Dudley didn't examine these 'vibrant green' gifts closely and instead turned to other items.

First was Hermione's gift, a small bag that was clearly handmade. What surprised Dudley even more was that it wasn't just any bag; it had an unnoticeable extension charm applied to it. Unfortunately, perhaps due to Hermione's limited skill, the space inside wasn't large, but Dudley liked it and decided to keep it close.

Harry gave him a set of wizard-made fitness equipment. Although not many wizards exercise, there were some, and the functionality was quite good.

Neville sent an entire set of herbology books; every good potion master is strong in herbology.

Snape sent Dudley a set of profound potion-making books, which emitted a faint dark aura, clearly indicating that this set of books was a non-sale item that could not be bought through normal means.

Ron sent him a wizard chess set, as Dudley had previously told him he wanted to study wizarding entertainment.

Malfoy sent him a long stick, which he had seen in those old movies.

Dudley looked at the stick, which was thick at one end and thin at the other, somewhat speechless. Was that big round end meant for hitting someone on the head?

If it had spikes added, it would be a small mace.

Dudley swung it a few times and found it quite handy, so he kept it.

As soon as Dudley exited the common room, he saw Harry, who was beaming with excitement.

Yes, because there was no one else in Slytherin, to make studying together easier, Dudley brought Harry and the others to the Slytherin common room.

After all, Slytherin had plenty of rooms.

"Dude, look, this is an invisibility cloak!"

Harry proudly shoved a transparent item into Dudley's hands.

An invisibility cloak, a magical item that can conceal one's body.

According to the history of magic, the first invisibility cloak came from the Deathly Hallows, a treasure obtained from Death by the third brother.

Legend has it that it has the ability to evade Death's pursuit.

As for whether it is really that magical, that is unknown.

In any case, the invisibility cloaks available in wizard shops are made from the skin of a creature called a Demiguise.

Dudley could tell that Harry's invisibility cloak was not made from Demiguise skin; its material was more special.

"Harry, do you know who gave this to you?"
