Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Dumbledore is in the castle, so Quirrell will definitely not grab the Sorcerer's Stone at this time.

Out of his trust in Dumbledore, Dudley had always been very reassured about Harry's safety.But now the facts are before our eyes. The plot of Harry stopping Quirrell from grabbing the Sorcerer's Stone, which was supposed to happen at the end of the second semester, actually happened half a year in advance.

"Hermione, don't be anxious. Go to Professor McGonagall first. She will be able to find a solution." Although Dudley was also anxious, he decided to appease Hermione first. "Then you go to the cupboard where the owl lives and send Hedwig to help. Dumbledore sent a letter. If he leaves the school, this is the only way to notify him, do you understand?"

"Wait, Dudley, where are you going?!" Hermione shouted from behind, but Dudley had no time to respond to her. Dudley ran with all his strength towards the corridor on the fourth floor - the entrance to the mechanism that protects the Philosopher's Stone.

Has Dumbledore been deceived again?Dudley could only think of this explanation. After all, it was hard to imagine that Quirrell would dare to do something under Dumbledore's eyes.

Dudley rushed to the fourth floor corridor. The door had been completely opened, and he could hear the angry roar of the three-headed dog Luwei.

What caught Dudley's eyes was a three-headed dog that was even taller than Norbert. Its ferocious huge head was staring at Dudley, and saliva was dripping from the side of its big mouth with sharp teeth.

Dudley noticed an upright harp next to the three-headed dog, but this did nothing to him - he had an easier way past the three-headed dog.

"GolHalDov!" (Forced Will)

The intelligence of the three-headed dog was obviously not equivalent to its three huge heads. Dudley easily controlled the three-headed dog to leave the trap door, then resolutely opened the trap door and jumped in.

Under the trap door is the devil's trap set by Professor Sprout. Of course, this is the simplest open-book exam for Dudley.As Dudley muttered, a string of blue bellflower flames emerged from the top of the elder wand. Dudley was somewhat thankful that Hermione taught him this trick while he was recovering from his injuries in the school hospital.

After breaking through the devil's net, Dudley entered a dark and damp stone corridor. He could hear the crisp sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding" coming from the room at the end of the corridor, and the sound of flapping wings.

In the huge room at the end of the stone corridor, Professor Flitwick's flying keys were flying all over the sky. Dudley pulled out his wand and pointed high at the keys in the sky.

"TiidKloUl!" (Time delay)

The jingle of keys colliding became silent instantly. Dudley tried his best to identify the slowly moving flying keys in the sky. Finally, he found his target - a blue-winged key that flew significantly faster than the others. More clumsy keys.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

The moment the time-delaying dragon roar ended, Dudley accurately used the levitating spell to hit the blue wing key. With a strong flick of the wand in his hand, the key was hit hard against the wall and fell down weakly.

"Click!" Dudley caught the dropped key, inserted it into the keyhole as fast as possible and twisted it. With the crisp sound of the lock cylinder popping open, Dudley entered the next challenge. .

However, Dudley was surprised to find that he didn't need to worry about how to pass the next challenge, because on the huge chessboard, those tall wizard chess statues were all scattered, and the chess pieces seemed to have not recovered yet to prepare for the next game. checkerboard.

Dudley was silently grateful to Ron for his violent way of playing chess that almost wiped out the opponent. He bypassed the white queen who was still kneeling on the ground and entered the next room.

As soon as he entered the room, Dudley smelled a familiar stench and saw a giant monster lying unconscious on the ground. It seemed that Dudley could skip this challenge.

The last room, Snape's Potions Puzzle.Dudley took a deep breath and pulled open the next door.

Sure enough, in the next room, there was only a table and seven bottles of potions waiting for him.As soon as Dudley stepped over the threshold, a purple flame rose up behind him; at the same time, the door leading to the front was blocked by black flames.

Walking to the table, he picked up the smallest bottle without even looking at the parchment on which the puzzle was written.Dudley shook the bottle tentatively and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that there was still enough liquid for one person in the bottle.

It seems that the liquid in this bottle will be automatically replenished after the challenger leaves, but it is right to think about it. The potion puzzle must have an automatic recovery setting. Otherwise, in the original work, as long as Quirrell drinks up the correct potion or Disturbing the position of the bottle, Harry and the others were immediately helpless.

Dudley drank the liquid in the bottle and instantly felt an icy chill that penetrated his whole body. Before the effects of the medicine wore off, Dudley walked toward the black flames.

Before he was about to cross the black flames, Dudley hesitated for a moment, because his dragon roar had not yet entered the cooling state and he only had unshakable power left.But Harry's life was in danger at any time, and there was no time to wait for the other dragon roars to cool down. Dudley gritted his teeth and stepped into the black flames.

Black flames licked Dudley's body, but did no harm.Dudley's eyes were filled with black flames, but soon they all disappeared - he was on the other side of the door.

The most eye-catching thing in the room on the other side of the door is the huge mirror standing on the other side of the room.Dudley immediately thought of the Mirror of Erised. The problem was that the mirror in the original work was only used to protect the Philosopher's Stone after Christmas.

But Dudley had no time to think about why the magic mirror appeared here in advance, because he saw Harry huddled on the ground, uncertain about his life or death, and a thin, bald man, Quirrell, was swinging towards Harry. direction.

"FusRoDah"

Dudley used all his strength to hit Quirrell directly. Quirrell was blown away by the powerful shock wave like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily against the Mirror of Erised standing on the other side of the room.

Dudley quickly ran to Harry's side in three steps at a time. To his relief, Harry, who was unconscious, was breathing steadily and had no other obvious injuries except for minor scratches on his body.

Suddenly, Dudley discovered a serious problem.Harry was curled up on the ground with nothing in his hands and no object that could be called the Philosopher's Stone.

Could it be that the Philosopher's Stone is already in Quirrell's hands?Dudley quickly ran to the Mirror of Erised and saw Quirrell slumped on the ground leaning on the mirror.But the face of Quirrell in front of him was very terrifying. The skin on his face seemed to have been burned and grilled, and was constantly cracking, everting, and falling off.

"Who... who... is here..." Quirrell's eyes seemed to have gone blind, and he could only murmur in pain.

Although the original work also described the tragic situation after Quirrell came into contact with Harry's body, this horrific scene was still beyond Dudley's imagination.Dudley held back his nausea and pressed the elder wand against Quirrell's throat. He felt that Quirrell's skin was very fragile and he could poke a hole with just a little force.

"Tell me! What happened to the Philosopher's Stone? Is it not taken out yet, or is it on you?" Dudley asked sharply.

"Master...got...abandoned me...Wormtail...rat..."

But Quirrell could only murmur a few vague words, and then fell weakly to the ground, no longer breathing life.

Dudley gasped, not because he witnessed Quirrell's death, but because he clearly saw that there was nothing on the back of Quirrell's head exposed except cracked and broken skin.

Combined with Quirrell's last words before his death, Dudley came to a conclusion that he found difficult to accept.

Peter Pettigrew took Voldemort and the Philosopher's Stone away.
