Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

"It's none of my business! I swear!" Harry defended loudly, feeling as if his shoulders were about to be crushed by Vernon.

Vernon's already red face turned purple, and he stared into Harry's eyes: "Don't be pretentious, kid. I know you were born to be a freak, and I can't care about other things, but today is Dudley's birthday. , if you dare to cause trouble, you will definitely not be able to live in trouble."

"You've also seen that Dudley has been like this since morning. It's none of my business." Harry, who was called a freak, was also a little angry. "God knows if it's because of some kind-hearted elves passing by. I really can't bear to see you treat each other so badly." Dudley's education method secretly cast a spell on Dudley..."

When he heard the word "magic", Vernon suddenly shuddered like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Vernon looked around, as if avoiding someone's sight, then roughly picked up Harry's collar with his hands, and said through gritted teeth: "Listen to me, don't mention the word magic. There is no magic in this world. Do you hear me like you are an orphan without parents?"

"Don't say I don't have parents." Although Vernon was a little breathless, Harry still struggled to say a word.

"Ha!" Vernon said with a sarcastic smile on his bearded face, "I raised you, so of course I can say that your two irresponsible parents are a waste, a freak, a scum... ."

"I said! Don't talk about my parents like that!"

As Harry yelled, in Vernon's disbelieving eyes, the glass behind Harry shattered.

Next to the ice cream cart 300 meters away from the two of them, Dudley was holding two newly bought ice creams and humming a little song, feeling particularly happy.

His relationship with Harry has steadily improved. The plot of visiting the reptile house has been skipped. He no longer has to have close contact with a big snake. Everything is developing for the better.

"So the butterfly effect, the compelling force of the plot, and the constriction of the world line, maybe it's all just science fiction made up to scare people." Dudley stumbled back, already planning how to continue to grind later. Harry's favorability level increased.

"Help! An animal has escaped!"

Someone yelled, and there was a commotion in the zoo, and the crowd just happened to run towards Dudley's direction.

Dudley broke out in a cold sweat on his back. The flag that had just been raised must have been taken back.

Dudley stopped a person and asked, "What's going on, man? Could it be that a snake escaped from the reptile house?"

"What kind of reptile house?" The man who was stopped by Dudley broke into a cold sweat and looked frightened. "It's a lion. The glass wall that enclosed the lion suddenly shattered for some reason!"

——————————————————————————————————————

Vernon's hand holding Harry's collar had loosened up at some point. Looking at the glass shards on the ground, Vernon's little eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

"You...you devil...what have you done? Wow!" Vernon gasped. He was about to say something to Harry, but when he saw Harry behind him, he immediately His face turned pale, he let out a strange cry, turned around and ran away.

Harry, who was slumped on the ground at a loss, turned around and saw a hungry lion, drooling, slowly walking towards Harry. The laziness in the glass cage just now was no longer in his eyes, only full of food. of hunger and cruelty.

Are you going to die here?Harry thought sadly, maybe he was born to be abused, otherwise he wouldn't have been punished like this today just because of Dudley's kindness.

But maybe this is a good thing. Harry has fantasized about leaving the Dursleys countless times, such as relatives suddenly appearing from nowhere to pick him up, or riding the flying motorcycle in his childhood dreams. Flying away, but never expecting to leave the Dursleys by becoming food for a hungry lion.

"Hey, grandson, look here, you have to attack the follower with the taunt skill first!"

Dudley's gong-like shout interrupted Harry's random thoughts. Harry took a closer look and found that the lion in front of him had two ice creams on his head. The snow-white cream hung on the golden mane. The hair looks particularly funny.

"Silly cousin, why are you still standing there? Run!" Dudley, still maintaining the posture of throwing the ice cream just a few dozen meters away, shouted to Harry.

Harry woke up from a dream and quickly ran away from the lion on his hands and knees. The lion, which had been hit with two ice cream cones, was obviously distracted by Dudley. Instead of chasing Harry, it roared angrily at Dudley.

"Look at my ice cream cart flying!" Looking at the lion that was about to pounce, Dudley pushed an ice cream cart hard towards the lion. While the lion's attention was slightly attracted by the ice cream cart, Dudley turned around and ran away.

"Whoops, oh my god, Dudley's body really needs to lose weight. He can't run even after just two steps." Dudley seemed to have misjudged his own physical strength. He originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the lion was attracted by the ice cream truck. When I was exerting myself, I tried to run as far as possible, but I was out of breath after only running a short distance.

"Roar!" The lion knocked over the cake cart and found that it was a dead thing that could not be bitten. Feeling that it was fooled, the lion roared angrily, then locked onto Dudley in the distance and ran away.

The lion is indeed the king of beasts. Although he was very hungry, he still caught up with Dudley in a short while. Although Dudley felt the danger of being chased by the beast, his fat little feet really couldn't run anymore.

It's almost time, Dudley thought to himself, and gradually stopped, turned around, and took a deep breath towards the galloping lion.

"Bang!" Just when the lion was about to pounce on Dudley, a flower pot thrown from nowhere hit the lion's feet. Although the lion was not hit, it still stopped and looked around vigilantly.

"Cousin, hurry up, hold my hand." Dudley felt a pair of thin hands pulling him, and when he looked back, it turned out that Harry ran back without knowing when. "I will never let you die."

Dudley couldn't laugh or cry. Originally, his plan was to drive Harry away and then use all his strength to kill the lion. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Harry came back to save him, so all his previous efforts were in vain.

However, he was also inexplicably moved. Now Harry didn't even know magic, but in this case, he still risked his life to save his cousin, who had abused him before. This noble character and full of courage were indeed As expected of the protagonist.

"It's all my fault." Harry's eyes were shining with tears behind his round glasses, "I was arguing with Uncle Vernon, and the glass broke when I got excited. I don't know what happened. That scene It’s like magic.”

Dudley sighed secretly. From Harry's actions, he discovered that he had entered a misunderstanding before.

The reason why he wanted to hide his ability to roar from Harry was, on the one hand, to reduce the impact on the plot. After all, Harry supposedly knew nothing about magic before Hagrid arrived, and he was afraid to let Harry know in advance. Exposure to magic can have unpredictable effects.

On the one hand, Dudley also has selfish motives. He wants to keep a trump card that even the protagonist Harry Potter doesn't know, so that he can gain greater benefits by knowing the plot in advance.

But Harry's brave actions made him understand that he was not simply playing a game, and the characters here were not emotionless NPCs.They will change their behavior and even risk their lives because of their small acts of kindness.

In this case, your own existence itself will already affect the actions of others, and the idea of ​​​​concealing your abilities and restoring the flow of the plot to make profits is even more arrogant behavior.

And this Harry, like himself, is a living person, not a simple fictional character.If you want to participate in their story, you have to get along with them sincerely, instead of treating them like pawns by concealing and taking advantage of the convenience of knowing the plot in advance.

Thinking of this, Dudley gently broke away from Harry's hand and said with a smile: "Cousin Harry, have you ever thought that maybe you are right, there is magic in this world."

In Harry's surprised eyes, Dudley turned back to look at the lion approaching step by step, and took a deep breath.

"FusRohDah"

Harry couldn't believe his eyes. Following Dudley's loud shout, the ferocious and mighty lion, which was poised to pounce, flew back high like a kicked ball.
