Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 16: Dudley is planning to kill a certain rat



September [-]st, London, King's Cross station.

Dudley was unloading the last piece of luggage, Harry's owl Hedwig's cage, from the car, while Harry was fastening their luggage, various large and small packages, onto the trolley.

"Dudley, my sweet little baby." Petunia hugged Dudley with tears streaming down her face, "Are you really going to go to that damn school? Vernon, you should also persuade him not to go."

Dudley had goosebumps on his back. He broke away from Petunia's hug, pushed Petunia back to the car, and said to Vernon: "Take good care of Mummy. Harry and I have to catch the train and leave first."

Vernon muttered something sullenly in response. It seemed that the couple still hadn't fully accepted the fact that he was going to Hogwarts to receive magical education.

After bidding farewell to the Dursleys, Dudley and Harry walked side by side into King's Cross Station.Dudley looked up at the shining hemispherical ceiling. Although theoretically it should be the first time for Dudley to come to this place, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity because this place was the same as the one in his dream before he traveled through time. King's Cross station is exactly the same.

But unlike the bright and clean hall in the dream, King's Cross Station now seems more lively and noisy.The platform was crowded with people, and Harry and Dudley attracted a lot of strange looks because of the owl in the cage.

"Platform nine and three-quarters?" Harry looked at the ticket in his hand doubtfully, his eyes wandering between platform nine and platform ten. "Is it misprinted, or should we try hitting a wand on one of the bricks between the platforms? Like Diagon Alley."

Dudley knew how to enter Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, but he did not tell Harry immediately. Instead, he looked around for a while, trying to find the Weasley family.

After all, he left a bad first impression on Ginny in Diagon Alley, first knocking the little girl down and then being beaten into a pig's head by her brother.

Although Dudley was not a lolita fan, Dudley still wanted to restore his image first for Ginny, who had the potential to be ranked high on the Hogwarts beauty list in the future.

Unfortunately, Dudley's idea came to nothing. It may be that Petunia wasted time by pestering him and not letting him go, which caused them to arrive at the platform at a different time from the Weasley family.

Seeing that the departure time was approaching eleven o'clock, Harry next to him was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Dudley had to pretend to have an idea and let Harry try to crash directly between platforms nine and ten.

"Dudley, you are such a genius." Harry was very excited after successfully entering platform nine and three-quarters. "I thought Dudley just had a change in your personality, but now I find that your head seems to be better than before. It helps a lot.”

No, brother, are you saying that for more than a month now you have thought that my IQ is no different from Dudley’s before?Dudley complained depressedly in his heart.

"Woo-" The red train leading to Hogwarts had already sounded a loud whistle, and Dudley and Harry hurriedly loaded their luggage onto the train.

Many of the compartments on the train were already full, so Dudley and Harry had no choice but to walk to the back of the train. Along the way, the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead attracted the attention of many people.

"Why does it feel like this scar is too conspicuous?" Harry moved his hair with his hands as he walked, trying to cover up this iconic scar.

"Hi, Dudley, come here, there's room here." Hearing someone calling his name, Dudley turned around and saw a little boy with fiery red hair waving to him in the cubicle next to him. It was the boy who had been there before. Ron Weasley seen in Diagon Alley.

"Dudley, is this an acquaintance of yours?" Harry was curious as to why Dudley knew other freshmen.

"Well, it's a long story. This is Ron Weasley, whom I met in Diagon Alley before." Dudley introduced the two of them to each other, "And he is my cousin, Harry Potter. .”

Hearing Harry's name, Ron opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief: "So...so this is real? I mean...that scar. ....."

Harry understood what Ron meant and pushed his hair away from his forehead with a wry smile. Ron's eyes widened even more when he saw the iconic lightning-shaped scar.

"Dudley, you didn't tell us that Harry was your cousin." Then Ron seemed to think of something and covered his mouth in surprise, "Oh my god, we actually beat up Harry Potter's cousin. If you tell Fred and George this, they will be shocked!"

Dudley felt depressed again. It seemed that the dark history of knocking down Loli and then being beaten up would never be revealed in his lifetime.

Harry and Ron hit it off very well and soon chatted happily together.Dudley was also relieved. It seemed that even if he interfered slightly in the plot, since the characters' personalities had not changed, the interpersonal relationships would still develop naturally like in the original work.

When the food truck selling snacks came over, the young wealthy man Harry very generously bought the entire food truck.Dudley also joined the team that eliminated the mountains of magic snacks on the table. Seeing these novel and fun magic snacks, Dudley immediately forgot about his goal of losing weight.

"It's Dumbledore again." Dudley opened a chocolate frog and looked at the card on the back with regret. This was already the third picture of Dumbledore he had eaten. It reminded him a bit of the time he had traveled through time. It feels like playing those card-drawing mobile games.

"By the way, this is my pet Scabbers." Ron pointed to a box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans that was moving slowly on the table. When he looked carefully, he found a fat gray mouse eating the multi-flavor beans.

Suddenly, Dudley's smile, which was happily playing with the chocolate frog, froze. Neither Harry nor Ron noticed that Dudley's eyes towards Scabbers became frighteningly serious.

The rat Scabbers, according to Ron, was a pet rat left to him by his brother and was so old that he slept all day long.

But Dudley knew that this seemingly inconspicuous mouse was just a disguise. He was one of the most hateful villains in the original novel. Almost all the tragedies and tragedies in the book were related to him.

Wormtail - Peter Pettigrew.

Dudley had almost forgotten that this dangerous person existed. After all, he was not forced to reveal his true identity until Sirius escaped from prison in Harry's third year.In the past, he used to be Scabbers, lurking around the Harry trio, and was a completely inconspicuous presence in the plot.

But Dudley couldn't take him lightly. After all, Dudley knew that Peter Pettigrew's nature was cowardly, treacherous, and despicable.In the original work, he did not do evil in the first three years not because he reformed, but because he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Now that Dudley intervenes in the plot, God knows how the plot will change. If the Voldemort behind Quirrell's head comes into contact with him, he will probably rejoin Voldemort's command immediately.

Peter Pettigrew is the key figure in resurrecting Voldemort. If he finds an opportunity to resurrect Voldemort in advance, everything will be over.

How to deal with this time bomb around Harry?Dudley had no intention of waiting until the third year to expose Peter Pettigrew.

Maybe Dumbledore and others could be informed directly, but Wormtail was an extremely good Animagus, and as long as he kept lurking, Dudley wouldn't be able to find evidence to accuse him.

Maybe we can be simple and crude and find an opportunity to kill him directly?Although Dudley had never killed anyone, he had no psychological burden on a scum among scum like Peter Pettigrew. Killing this thing would be equivalent to saving countless people.

The only question is how to achieve the goal by pretending to be an "accident" or a "failure" without offending Ron?

Dudley's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at Peter Pettigrew. Scabbers seemed to feel something and subconsciously moved closer to Ron.
