Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 257: Dudley’s relatively stable time



After returning from Austria, Dudley spent a relatively stable time. After all, Nurmengard was an unguarded prison, and there was only one prisoner in it, Gellert Grindelwald. The news of Grindelwald's escape was unknown. It will probably take some time for word to spread.

Moreover, in Dudley and Grindelwald's plan, Grindelwald did not immediately make a comeback and form an army for action.Instead, he first regains his strength in secret and recruits like-minded subordinates.

Almost all of Grindelwald's subordinates have died of old age, but fortunately, many students who graduated from Durmstrang became dark wizards because they worshiped Grindelwald. With Grindelwald's charisma and ability to incite, It is estimated that a new force will be formed soon.

However, this is expected to take some time, and Dudley is not in a hurry. At this stage, he is only providing funds to Grindelwald and has no other help.After all, Dudley had just traveled to central Europe, and if Grindelwald happened to make a comeback at this time, it would easily arouse others' suspicion.

During this period, without the help of the vanishing cabinet and Harry being in the next room, Dudley was unable to go to Malfoy's house to personally guide the plan and could only use the grimoire to conduct remote command work.

The Magic Book is now in a period of steady growth. Dudley and Delphine continue to optimize and improve the Magic Book's server system and strengthen the management and operation of the forum system.

It is worth mentioning that under Dudley's instruction, Barty Crouch Jr. resigned from the Ministry of Magic, established a semblance of a grimoire company, and recruited a large number of wizards as employees - one of them was a foodie. There are no Dead Apostles, all are white wizards.

This most pretentious company does not involve key information such as the server system of the magic book. It is only responsible for the promotion, operation and sales of the magic book. However, because the salary is attractive and it seems to be a very exposed position, it has attracted a large number of heavyweights. Wizard submits resume.

There were several wizards among them, and they were even more heavyweight than Dudley expected.

The first is Gilderoy Lockhart. Although he did not suffer from amnesia due to the backfire of Ron's bad wand like in the original work, he still submitted his resignation to Dumbledore and did not become the first Dark Magician to be re-elected. Defense teacher.

Because Lockhart had heard rumors about Voldemort's return, he was naturally too timid to risk being attacked by Death Eaters and continue to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Gilderoy Lockhart's resignation did not receive any solicitation. Of course, this was not written in his new book "A Thrilling Year at Hogwarts". In this autobiography, Gilderoy Lockhart continued to describe He took credit for various things at Hogwarts this year, including defeating the Basilisk and the Acromantula.

After leaving Hogwarts, Gilderoy Lockhart joined the Grimoire Company and became the operations and promotion specialist for the Grimoire.This position perfectly utilized Gilderoy Lockhart's talents. Gilderoy established his own forum, where he used his fan base to vigorously promote the Grimoire.

The other wizard who joined the Grimoire Company was even more of a heavyweight, and unlike Lockhart, he was a well-known wizard who was authentic and genuine.

Horace Slughorn.

Horace Slughorn was a famous wizard, former Potions teacher at Hogwarts, and former Head of Slytherin.

Dudley learned from the original work that Slughorn was a very vain wizard who loved fame and fortune.Moreover, students are treated differently and students with more intelligence are preferred.

However, even so, Slughorn has no prejudice against marrow wizards and pure-blood wizards, and treats talented students equally, which is very rare among pure-blood wizards.

In the original work, Slughorn is also a very important character.

Slughorn formed a small club consisting of students he considered particularly talented, ambitious, intelligent, or well-connected.

The group would be informally known as the Slug Club.By showing extreme favoritism for these chosen students, Slughorn was able to benefit from their eventual success or fame.

In contrast, he tended to ignore students he considered not "superior", such as Arthur Weasley, and later Arthur's son Ron, who despite being never cruel, was still considered a kind man .Regardless, he's great at finding talent, as nearly every member of the Slug Club has gone on to have a stellar career in many different fields.

To sum up, although Slughorn is a little obsessed with fame and fortune, his ability and vision are undoubtedly a top wizard.

However, Dudley originally thought that he would not meet this old man who was almost the same generation as Dumbledore.

In the original work, after Voldemort returned, Dumbledore and Harry came to Slughorn's home in order to recruit Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers and investigate information about Voldemort's creation of Horcruxes.

However, Slughorn tried his best to refuse to come out again at first. After all, he knew the most profound secret about Voldemort-the Horcruxes.

Dudley originally thought that after he pretended to be Voldemort and was resurrected, the old man might act as low-key as in the original work, but he didn't expect that he would apply to the Magic Book Company instead.

But after thinking about it carefully, Dudley understood what Slughorn was thinking.

Now that Gilderoy Lockhart has resigned, Dumbledore must have started looking for suitable candidates to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. However, unlike in the original work, because Voldemort was "resurrected" in advance, Remus Lupine and Mad-Eye Mu Didu has already joined the Order of the Phoenix in advance, so it is not convenient for him to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

In this case, Slughorn needs a reasonable reason to reject Dumbledore, and becoming a Grimoire operator will not only expand his influence, but also serve as a reason not to become a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. .

And Dudley guessed that maybe this smart old man had already seen that Voldemort, who Dudley was disguised as, wanted to keep a low profile. In this case, becoming a public figure might be able to protect him.

In any case, the Grimoire Company, which has two well-known wizards as living brands, shows a trend of prosperity, which is what Dudley hopes to see.

No matter what, Dudley's current overall layout is very smooth, and it only takes enough time to develop his own power.

But before that, Dudley planned to deal with some internal troubles first. Specifically, the Death Eaters had been silent for so long, and some people were about to make a move. At this time, they should kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.

Moreover, Dudley had already found the target to scare the monkeys.
