Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

When Professor McGonagall took Dudley to the door of Dumbledore's office, he happened to see Newt Scamander coming out of the office.

"It is not difficult to convince Professor Dumbledore. As an expert with outstanding achievements in dragon blood research, Professor Dumbledore's research level on dragons is no less than mine." Newt said to Dudley with a smile, looking confident. look. "However, Dumbledore said that there are some things that require your cooperation. I will go to Hagrid first. There are many details that need to be explained in the taming of the dragon."

After Dudley and Newt flew back to Hogwarts, they placed Norbert with Hagrid.It is worth mentioning that Newt’s mount is a griffin, and it is unknown where it was hidden before.

The door to Dumbledore's office is a hidden door guarded by a huge stone monster. As Professor McGonagall shouted the command, the stone monster jumped to the side, and the hidden door slowly opened, revealing the spiral elevator behind.

"Okay, Dursley, go in, the professor is waiting for you inside." Seeing that Professor McGonagall did not intend to go in with him, Dudley walked into the spiral staircase alone.

The spiral staircase rose slowly, and Dudley could hear the stone door closing below.I don't know how long it took, but Dudley finally saw a shiny oak door.

Dudley tried to knock on the door, and the door quietly opened on its own.The layout of Dumbledore's office is very similar to that in the movie. It is a spacious and bright circular room, with portraits of past principals hanging on the wall, and many strange silverware placed on the table with slender legs.

"Squeak!" A high-pitched sharp sound startled Dudley. Dudley looked toward the source of the sound and saw a large bird covered in red and gold feathers, looking at him warily.

"Don't worry about it, Dudley." Dumbledore slowly walked down from the compartment with a smile on his face, "Fox is a phoenix. To her, you are like a dragon disguised as a human. Being at the top of magical creatures, it’s normal to be wary.”

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore." Dudley remembered that this was the first time he was alone with this top figure of power and wisdom in the Harry Potter world, and he couldn't help but feel a little cautious.

"I have already discussed the general matter with Newt. Regarding the matter of you being a Dragonborn, I have actually had this speculation before." Dumbledore looked at Dudley with interest, "Newt As an authority on the study of magical creatures, I unconditionally trust his judgment that Norbert is a harmless dragon."

Dudley's face showed joy and he said excitedly: "Does that mean we are allowed to keep Norbert at Hogwarts?"

"No, you can't say that, Dudley." Dumbledore's half-moon glasses flashed with a cunning light, "Strictly speaking, we are not 'raising' Norbert, which is obviously against the rules; we are only It’s just that a dragon nature reserve was set aside outside the key keeper’s cabin near the Forbidden Forest, and Norberta was allowed to live here.”

Dudley laughed happily. Sure enough, big bosses like Dumbledore and Newt are hardly bound by the laws of the Ministry of Magic. Although it is a word game, it is estimated that the Ministry of Magic does not People dare to question their judgment.

"But, there is another problem here." Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject, and Dudley's heart sank. "Putting a dragon in the school will have an impact on the safety of the students anyway, so we need to consult the deans." Views......"

Hearing this, Dudley almost knew what the problem was, and one of the deans would definitely not agree.

"Professors McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout all agreed with my point of view and believed that it is very meaningful to protect a docile young dragon in the school. But Professor Snape strongly opposed this matter. If it cannot be Even with his consent, I cannot be arbitrary."

Needless to say, Dudley could guess the reason why Snape objected to placing Norbert in Hogwarts. Harry and the others were so close to Norbert, and it was impossible for Snape to allow this to happen so easily.

"But Professor Snape doesn't seem to have told the matter to death." Seeing Dudley's depressed mood, Dumbledore patted Dudley's shoulder to comfort him, "He offered to talk to you privately, as long as you can Convince him, and the last obstacle to keeping Norbert will disappear."

It seemed that Snape was planning to negotiate terms with him.Dudley was a little uneasy about persuading Snape. After all, judging from his experience since entering school, Snape didn't have a good impression of him, and the conditions he proposed would definitely be very harsh.

Seeing that Dumbledore was already minding his own business teasing Fawkes, Dudley knew it was time to leave.He was about to say goodbye to Dumbledore, but suddenly something related to Voldemort came to mind, and he hesitated whether to warn Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore, who do you think might have done it when the dragons and trolls were brought in?" Dudley asked tentatively, having learned from the lesson he had learned when he warned Snape last time. He did not name Quirrell directly.

Dumbledore suddenly paused, looked at Dudley meaningfully, and said slowly: "I'm still investigating, kid. All I can say is that I am absolutely unwilling to doubt the school before there is conclusive evidence." Any student or teacher. Otherwise, mutual suspicion and infighting will cause greater and more profound damage than any attack by the enemy."

After hearing this, Dudley knew that he could not expose Quirrell to Dumbledore without direct evidence.He had to say goodbye to Dumbledore and leave his office.

When the hidden door guarded by the monster closed behind him, Dudley couldn't help but sigh deeply. Although Dumbledore was powerful and wise, he was too trusting of others.This is not only the source of Dumbledore's great charisma, but it is also his very fatal flaw.

Suddenly, Dudley felt a cold breath. He raised his head and saw Quirrell standing in front of him in the corridor with a weird smile.

Dudley became nervous for a moment. If Peter Pettigrew later told Quirrell about his appearance in the dragon's belly, then Quirrell and him would almost be in a showdown with each other. Everyone knew that each other was an enemy rather than a friend.

"D... Mr. Dursley, I'm... glad to see you... you're back safely." Quirrell still looked nervous and stammered, But Dudley seemed to be able to feel it. His eyes were filled with a sinister and cold aura, "I...I came to see if you were...hurt."

Then Quirrell's hand stretched out like lightning. Dudley quickly stepped back but was still too late. Just as Quirrell was about to grab Dudley's shoulders, suddenly a tall black figure stood in front of Dudley.

"No, Professor Quirrell, Dursley should have something to do with me, so I'll take him away first." Snape said slowly in a soft but unmistakable voice.

"If Professor Quirrell still has time later, I will talk to you again about why you suddenly ran away mid-sentence last night, and why you were never found again."
