Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 132: Dudley’s first visit to the Burrow



"You said Malfoy sent a house elf to prevent you from going back to school?" Ron said angrily. "It really looks like something he would do, walking around the mansion with shame. Go and tell the house elves to do bad things."

"Well, in fact, Dobby came to me on his own, and it should have nothing to do with Malfoy." Harry added in a low voice, "But Malfoy - his father to be precise, you can tell at a glance that he is not a good person. .”

"It's obvious. A family with a bad heart like theirs will definitely look bitter and ugly." Ron showed a disdainful expression.

"Ahem, that's not necessarily true...Malfoy's mother is quite beautiful." Harry suddenly looked out the window in embarrassment.

"Huh? Have you met Malfoy's parents?" Ron asked Harry curiously.

But Harry didn't seem to want to continue talking about this topic, and began to talk to him: "Does this car belong to your family? This is really cool."

"My dad just likes tinkering with Muggle things. My warehouse is full of things that he took apart and put back together with magic." Ron said in a low voice, "Mom always said that it would be troublesome if others found out. You know, my dad works for the Ministry of Magic, and if he checks his house, he'll have to arrest himself."

"Ahem." Arthur Weasley, who was silent and concentrating on driving, cleared his throat, "Don't talk nonsense Ron, I am a special case this time. Professor Dumbledore said that Harry must leave his uncle's house as soon as possible after They arrived at a safe place, but they couldn’t use Floo at home, so--"

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right, Dad." Ron responded perfunctorily, and then lowered his voice and said, "He has been looking for a chance to have fun for a long time, and this time he finally got his wish using you as an excuse. But he was almost too happy that he almost knocked a piece of my attic off when he set off..."

Dudley was sitting in the passenger seat and did not participate in their conversation. He just quietly looked at the high-altitude scenery outside the car window, which reminded him of his experience of riding a dragon with Fleur in the Alps.

After a while, the Ford's flying altitude began to slowly decrease, and Dudley could see the fields below.

"We are almost there, just outside the village." Arthur said gently. "The children are seated, we are almost landing... although I am already very experienced."

"Actually, it's my first time to land in your garden," Ron said in a low voice, suppressing a smile. "And if I guessed correctly, dad was originally planning to park on the road opposite your house."

As the car shook violently, Dudley felt that they had successfully landed.But as Ron said, Arthur's driving skills really need to be improved, and they just missed hitting the side of a dilapidated garage by just a few centimeters.

"Wow... Dad, you should practice more. Fred and George can park the car much more safely than you." Ron covered his head, as if he had hit the roof of the car hard when he landed.

"Maybe the shock absorber function still needs to be improved... Wait, when did those two brats steal my car, and how did you know?!"

After getting off the car, they began to unload the luggage from the car, and Dudley finally saw the true appearance of the Weasley family.This is a crooked house made of stone. It was obviously built with magic, because if there was a guy from the civil engineering department, he would probably be so angry that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Ron, you take Harry to move the luggage to the Burrow first." Arthur patted Ron on the back, "Dudley and I will study how to get the car into the garage and come back later."

After watching Ron and Harry enter the Burrow, Arthur turned around and looked at Dudley seriously: "First of all, I want to thank you, Dudley. I have already heard from Professor Dumbledore that you defeated The newly resurrected Voldemort... this is a very big contribution to the entire magical world."

Dudley had already guessed Arthur's attitude. When they were at Fleur's house, Dumbledore had said that he would reassemble the members of the Order of the Phoenix, and Arthur seemed to have joined Dumbledore's group just like in the original work. In the camp.

"But can you tell me more about what Harry just said about the Malfoy house elves?" Arthur asked solemnly, "In fact, I was very worried when I didn't receive Harry's message, but Dumbledore told me that Harry was safe at home and that things would be sorted out when you came back - and it seems that's exactly what Dumbledore said."

Now that Arthur and Dumbledore were already on the same side, Dudley had no intention of hiding it from him.

So Dudley briefly told Arthur what Dobby warned them, and that after he was taken to the Malfoy house by Apparition, he secretly saw the whole story of the transaction between Lucius and the hooded woman - of course, the rest The unimportant details were just brushed aside.

"I didn't expect it to be hidden there..." Arthur looked very remorseful and said distressedly: "After Dumbledore reminded me, I have found reasons to search his house several times, but I didn't expect it. Still haven’t been able to find the diary.”

But this is not Arthur's fault. After all, Tom Riddle's diary had almost no magic fluctuations before it was activated. It is too difficult to find a diary in the huge Malfoy House.

"Lucius Malfoy has been expected to be a Death Eater for a long time, but we can't do anything about him until we get conclusive evidence." Arthur frowned, thoughtfully, "But the activities of Death Eaters are funded. This is indeed important information... I will try to check Lucius's financial flow, and maybe I can find some clues."

"So Mr. Weasley has already contacted Professor Dumbledore?" Dudley asked tentatively.

"Oh, I understand what you mean, Dudley. Yes, I have joined the Order of the Phoenix." Arthur lowered his voice and said to Dudley, "After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Death Eaters are reactivating. For me, this is It’s as serious a problem as the mystery man’s resurrection.”

Then, Arthur glanced worriedly in the direction of the Burrow and continued: "But Dudley, I hope to hide my joining the Order of the Phoenix from my family for the time being."

"This is an honorable status. I think Mrs. Weasley and your children will understand you." Dudley looked at Arthur in confusion.

Arthur sighed: "I know that not only will they understand me, but they will also support me and even bravely join our fight - this is the reason why I am worried."

"They are still too young. Whether it is Ron, George or Fred, they just need to study peacefully in school; and Percy's dream is to join the Ministry of Magic and stand out... But in Dumbledore Lido's staff often have to face many dilemmas with the Ministry of Magic's policies. And Molly - she needs to take good care of the children, and I can't add any more burden to her."

Having said this, Arthur smiled bitterly, then patted Dudley on the shoulder: "By the way, I almost forgot that you are also a child... But Dumbledore trusts you, and so do I. Dumbledore's judgment. Okay, let's go to the Burrow first, everyone is waiting for us."
