Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 124: The story of the Alps comes to an end



In the next few days, Dudley kept learning from Nicolas Flamel how to use the magic stone to make potions, Newt was treating the injuries that Norberta suffered in the ruins, and the Delacour family was busy moving. Everyone seemed very busy.

On this day, after Dudley finished his lessons with Nicolas Flamel, Newt informed Dudley that Dumbledore wanted to see him in the guest room where Nagini was held.

When Dudley entered the guest room, he found that Remus Lupin and Professor Dumbledore seemed to be discussing something.In the corner of the room, there was a huge cage, and a giant snake as thick as the mouth of a bowl was lazily curled up inside.

Lupine had been taking care of Nagini during this period and almost never left this room. Dudley would occasionally come up to chat with him.From what he said, Sirius Black's retrial has been put on the agenda, but progress seems to be slow because the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic has been obstructing it.

"Remus, you are temporarily responsible for guarding Nagini at No. 12 Grimmauld Place," Dumbledore whispered to Lupin. "I have already communicated with Sirius about his new plans for the Order of the Phoenix. I have no objection to the location of the headquarters.”

"What about the others? If Sirius is not here, I'm worried that there will be some troublesome spells in the house." Lupine looked a little worried, "I don't know if I can handle it by myself."

"Alastor will come over to help you arrange the new headquarters, as well as his new apprentice, a trustworthy child." Dumbledore patted Lupine on the shoulder, "Before school starts, I will try to gather our Old friends...maybe new companions."

blah blah.

Dudley knocked on the door lightly, and when Dudley walked into the room, both Dumbledore and Lupin stood up.

"Dudley, I have something to inform you." Dumbledore's eyes were a little sharp, "Last night, a new case occurred in Selemuni."

"That Muggle group that calls itself a witch-hunting organization, the bodies of all their senior staff were found in a ski shop owned by the leader of the organization."

Dudley was shocked, but he still pretended to be calm and asked: "How did they die? Have you found the murderer?"

"The cause of death was poisoning - nothing to do with magic, just Muggle hydrogen cyanide poison." Dumbledore stared at Dudley's face closely, as if looking for something: "And their president disappeared... ..."

"Since no traces of magic were found on the corpses at the scene, the Ministry of Magic believed that this was a purely Muggle social case and did not initiate an investigation. However, the Muggle police's emergency notice believed that this was a case of suicide among a cult group. "

Dudley knew very well that there were no traces of magic on the corpses at the scene, which did not mean that there was no magic involved in the matter. It was also possible that the corpses that could detect traces of magic had already been eaten.

"It may be that after they wake up, they think about what they have done and they really can't get over their conscience, so they choose to commit suicide." Dudley calmly made eye contact with Dumbledore.

After a moment, Dumbledore nodded slightly, then turned around: "Maybe... After such a ridiculous thing happened, such an ending is foreseeable - no matter what, , the chain of hatred has come to an end."

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Dudley knew that there was a high probability that this matter could not be hidden from Dumbledore, but since he had not made it clear to himself, burying the matter in his stomach might be the right choice.

"However, now that this matter is completely over, it is not convenient for us to continue to disturb the Delacour family here. After all, they have a lot of things to do these days - Dudley, how are you and Flamel's lessons going? ?”

"I have probably mastered the preparation method, but I am still far from being as skilled as Mr. Flamel." After all, Dudley's Potions foundation was quite solid due to Snape's tutoring lessons.

"If you want to reach Flamel's level, it will take hundreds of years." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Then let Professor Snape continue the subsequent courses after returning to school. You can finish them later. Let’s pack some things and we’re ready to leave.”

"As for Nagini... you should have heard just now that we do not plan to hand her over to the Ministry of Magic for the time being. She will be guarded by the reconvened Order of the Phoenix for a while."

Nagini, who maintained her snake form, raised her head and spat out the message viciously. Dudley could feel the resentment and unwillingness in her pale yellow snake eyes.

"Is she always like this now?" Dudley looked at Nagini curiously.

"She took the initiative to maintain this form." Lu Ping took over and explained seriously: "She planned to use this form to prevent us from using truth serum to interrogate her, but this is also beneficial. At least we will help you collect the venom. It’s more convenient.”

Hearing Lupine's words, Nagini suddenly became irritable, jumped up and rushed towards Dudley's direction.But when she touched near the cage, she bounced back like an electric shock, and then made a painful "hissing" sound.

"Don't worry, this cage is quite strong. It was jointly designed by Mr. Scamander and Professor Dumbledore. I heard that even a giant dragon can't escape." Seeing the effect of the cage, Lupine nodded with satisfaction. "The only concern is whether her companions will come to rescue her."

Dudley looked at Nagini curled up in the cage and began to think.The last time Ariana's identity was revealed, both the Hooded Woman and Nagini came together to rescue her.But this time Nagini was caught by them, but the other two members of the Three Prophets Witch Coven remained silent.

In this case, it's either that Nagini doesn't have a good relationship with them - but this possibility can almost be ruled out. After all, Nagini would rather stay in snake form than reveal information. Another possibility is that they have There are higher priorities than rescuing Nagini.

"It's useless to think so much, we can only be prepared to deal with it." Dumbledore seemed to see Dudley's thoughts, "I reconvened the Order of the Phoenix to prepare for this... .After all, judging from this incident, their organization is more careless about human life and more dangerous than the Death Eaters."

Dudley nodded. Anyway, catching Nagini this time was already a big progress.At least the next time they face the other two members of the Three Prophets Witch Coven, they will have one less powerful enemy to face.

"You go and pack your things first. Norberta can be stored here for the time being - Newt will take good care of her. You can summon her when you return to school." Dumbledore smiled gently at Dudley. Laughing, "Harry probably drank Polyjuice Potion until he vomited - it doesn't really taste that good."

"By the way, don't forget to say goodbye to everyone, especially the little girl who cares about you very much." Dumbledore said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "But don't be too reluctant to say goodbye, I guess you will be together soon. Meet at Hogwarts.”
