Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Now that the matter was over, Dudley had no intention of staying on the Quidditch pitch.Although Dudley has a good relationship with the members of the Gryffindor team, he is also a member of the Slytherin team after all, so he still needs to avoid suspicion.

After returning to Hogwarts Castle, Dudley remembered what he had said to Snape in the dormitory, so he did not intend to go back to the dormitory, but walked up the stairs.

Soon, Dudley arrived at his destination, the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Dudley has rarely come here since he entered school, because Slytherin's dormitory is underground in the castle, and the seventh floor of the castle is the entrance to Gryffindor Tower and Ravenclaw Tower. He always comes here as a Slytherin. Will attract strange looks.

There are several rooms here, such as Professor Flitwick's office, Divination classroom, etc., but these are not Dudley's goals.To be precise, Dudley himself didn't know where the room he wanted to go to was.

"Okay, concentrate and think about what you want - now, I need a room where I can hide things..."

Dudley thought to himself as he walked up and down the corridor on the seventh floor. Fortunately, today was the weekend, so it was very quiet here and no one else disturbed him.

Finally, Dudley found a very conspicuous tapestry, which showed eight trolls dancing a ballet - to be honest, it was a bit heavy.However, there was probably no other tapestry with such a unique taste, so Dudley knew he had found the place.

once,

twice,

three times.

When he walked past the tapestry for the third time, Dudley finally saw a door on the opposite side of the tapestry, which had been an empty wall for at least a minute.

Dudley took a deep breath and entered this room that was also featured a lot in the original work - the Room of Requirement.

This is a hidden magical room in Hogwarts Castle that the user can only enter when they really need it, and when it appears, it is always decorated just right to suit the user's needs.

When Dudley entered the Room of Requirement, it was as big as a cathedral, with mountains of all kinds of things. It was obvious that these were the possessions of Hogwarts students over the past hundreds of years.

Although Dudley had already expected that it would be messy inside, the level of messiness was far beyond his imagination. Finding what he wanted inside didn't seem to be easy.

What he wanted to find was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Ravenclaw's diadem.

This is the only relic left by Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw House. Legend has it that it can increase the wisdom of the wearer - Dudley is not interested in this, so he keeps throwing it here without caring about it. Pass.

But now that it's obvious that someone is collecting Voldemort's Horcruxes, it might not be safe enough to leave them here.

The question is how Dudley can find the crown. Judging from the description in the original work, the crown should be placed on the top of the cabinet where Harry Potter hides the Half-Blood Prince textbook.The problem is that in this world, Harry never came here to hide books, so Dudley had to slowly look for the needle in the haystack.

Dudley searched for almost ten minutes, but still found nothing. Just when he was a little irritated, he suddenly saw a black and worn-out cabinet. Its style felt very familiar to him.

"It seems that this is the same pair of disappearing cabinets that I bought at Bojinbok." After Dudley hesitated for a moment, he opened the cabinet door.

Dudley had many guesses about the disappearing cabinet. In the original work, Peeves once broke a cabinet in order to divert Filch's attention. Dudley wondered whether the disappearing cabinet was broken at this time.

But if you think about it carefully, it is unreasonable, because if the disappearing cabinet was good at the beginning, Bojinbok should have discovered its value long ago, and would not just leave it in the store and no one cares about it. After all, a line can lead directly to Hogwart. The secret passage here is still very valuable.

Moreover, Voldemort knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement. He had worked in Borgin Bock, so it was impossible that he had not discovered the Vanishing Cabinet.

In this case, it is very likely that Peeves smashed another cabinet, and this disappearing cabinet had already been broken.

"As good as ever!" Dudley tentatively used a repair spell.

Then Dudley looked around and found an old candlestick and tried to put it in and close the door.

When Dudley reopened the cupboard, he found that the candlesticks inside were still unchanged. It seemed that either he had found the wrong cupboard, or that the disappearing cupboard was not so easy to repair.

Just as Dudley was considering leaving it alone and continuing to search for Ravenclaw's diadem, suddenly he heard the door open.

Someone actually entered the Room of Requirement at this time? !

Dudley hesitated for a moment, then immediately decided to hide in the cupboard in front of him and observe the situation.Of course, for the sake of safety, he did not close the door tightly, leaving a small crack.

The footsteps echoed in the huge Room of Requirement, and Dudley clearly heard the footsteps of more than one person, that is to say, at least two people came in.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Dudley pulled out his wand and entered combat mode at any time.

"Is what that woman said really here? Are we being fooled?"

"There's no benefit to her playing tricks on us. Her deposit has already been given to our father..."

"Goyle, do you really believe what she says? The Dark Lord is back."

"My dad said that it doesn't matter whether the Dark Lord comes back or not. That woman is not much weaker than the Dark Lord... and she is more generous than the Dark Lord. The prerequisite is not to offend her like Malfoy's father."

Dudley immediately recognized the voices of Malfoy's two followers, Goyle and Crabbe - just now he was curious why Malfoy didn't bring these two people with him when he came to compete with him.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that these two guys have not been as enthusiastic towards Malfoy since the beginning of the school year. When Malfoy and Pansy were scolding each other at the school banquet, they did not actively support Malfoy.During the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson, they had no intention of protecting Malfoy.

"Speaking of which, Malfoy seems to be planning to go to Quidditch tryouts today. I don't know what the result will be."

"I guess I used the money to go in through the back door again. It's good to keep him busy, so we can find time to complete the task."

"What a little brat who won't grow up... We have already started to help my father, but he still asks his rich father to act coquettishly."

"My dad said that the Malfoy family is expected to be finished soon. First they were stared at by Dumbledore's people, and then they offended that woman... The Malfoy family is no longer our leader."

"Should we stay away from him? Otherwise, someone might take revenge on him that day and he might even implicate us."

"Let's pretend for a while. It's still good to use him as a shield to block hatred. In this case, the first person everyone hates is Malfoy, and we are just being manipulated by him."

"It's getting late, forget it, let's come over tomorrow, otherwise it won't be convenient for the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students to go out when they come back later..."

After hearing the sound of opening and closing the door again, Dudley walked out of the cupboard with a solemn expression.

It seemed that we had to talk to Dumbledore about Horcruxes as soon as possible.
