Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 89: Dudley’s decision and next step plan



"But Mom, if I can't prove my innocence...if this continues, I will be expelled from school." Furong's eyes were red, and her look of crying was pitiful.

"I was thinking about proving my innocence before, but have you seen the consequences of doing so?" Mrs. Delacour pointed to her injured foot and sighed.

"Even after I was injured, they suspected that I deliberately pretended to be injured to conceal information about the ruins. These people already have prejudices against us, and you can't explain it to them anyway. After being caught by them, they can only let them eat their flesh."

After hearing her mother's words, Fleur sat down in despair and covered her face with her hands. Dudley could see Fleur's slender body trembling slightly.

The discussion reached an impasse, and a terrible silence fell in the living room, with only Fleur's sobs heard.

Everyone didn't know how to comfort Furong. After all, even if Furong didn't go to school, she couldn't hide at home as a fugitive for the rest of her life. This would ruin Furong's life.

At this time, Newt patted Dudley's shoulder gently and whispered: "Dudley, what are you going to do about Fleur being wanted?"

Hearing Newt's words, Dudley felt strange at first. After all, due to Newt's age and experience, Newt was usually the backbone of the mission, and Dudley sought Newt's opinion.

But Dudley looked at Newt's serious eyes and quickly understood what Newt meant - Newt had already thought of a way, but he intended to let Dudley make a choice.

After all, Newt and Dudley came here with the task of investigating Nagini's traces, so of course it was best not to get into trouble.Judging from the current situation, since the French Ministry of Magic has taken the initiative not to provoke them, it is the safest choice for them to follow the slope and not interfere with the French Ministry of Magic.

However, there were reasons why Fleur was wanted. Dudley should not abandon Fleur in spite of both emotions and reasons.Moreover, the Delacour family provided Dudley with valuable information about the ruins of the Dragon Cult and allowed them to stay here temporarily.What was more important between Fleur and the French Ministry of Magic? Dudley got the answer almost instantly.

"Since the crime they charged Fleur with is attacking Muggles and exposing magic." Dudley said solemnly, "Then the way we can clear Fleur's name is simple - catch Nagini as soon as possible and prove that she manipulated it. The Muggles attacked Fleur, which is also the goal of our trip!"

Newt raised his eyebrows and smiled approvingly: "But you also know the difficulty of this method... This means that we cannot seek help from the French Ministry of Magic. I think you have already thought of the next specific action. Alright."

Dudley nodded and looked at Mrs. Delacour: "Mrs. Delacour, can you tell us the location of the Dragon Cult ruins you mentioned before?"

Mrs. Delacour pondered for a moment, then looked at Dudley seriously: "After telling you, what are you going to do? You know, humans are not allowed to enter or exit that ruins!"

"I can go in!" Fleur said resolutely, "I am also a Veela hybrid, and I should not be restricted by the ruins' guardian magic -"

"This is absolutely not possible!" Mrs. Delacour's voice was very stern. "The inside of the ruins is too dangerous. I almost died inside. Fleur, you are just a child. Even if you can go in, what have you done?"

"I don't intend to let Fleur and Nagini have a head-to-head confrontation. This is too dangerous and should be left to more professional people." Dudley looked at Newt, "Mr. Scamander, you can send another letter to Dun Professor Bullydo, ask him to send reinforcements—it’s best to come in person.”

"I have no problem, but Nagini is hiding in the ruins. It is inevitable to catch her and enter the ruins." Newt asked with interest: "And the restrictions of this ancient ruins, I'm afraid Dumbledore himself You can’t bypass it even when you arrive, I think you must have figured this out.”

Dudley nodded and looked at Fleur: "Fleur, I hope you can also write a letter to the principal of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Ms. Maxim, explaining your current situation and asking her to come and assist us!"

"Let Ms. Maxim come here now?" Fleur seemed a little hesitant. "Although the principal used to take great care of me, now I am a wanted criminal. Will she still believe my words?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Fleur." Newt said confidently, "I will also send a letter to Professor Dumbledore and ask him to come forward to persuade Ms. Maxim on our behalf."

"But even if Ms. Maxim comes, she may not be able to help us." Fleur looked at Dudley doubtfully, "Even if she faces the restrictions of the ruins..."

"I believe Ms. Maxim will find a way." Dudley knew in his heart that although Ms. Maxim, the principal of Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, did not admit it, she was actually a hybrid of a wizard and a giant.So since Mrs. Delacour can enter the ruins, there must be no problem for Ms. Maxim.

"Of course, with Nagini's strength and cunning, Ms. Maxim may not be [-]% sure." Dudley looked around at everyone and said, "So when the time comes, I will let Norberta help her enter the ruins together."

"Ms. Maxim and Norberta only need to intimidate Nagini and force her to leave the ruins. The others will wait at the exit of the ruins - they must not give her a chance to escape!"

"Is the blood-cursed orc named Nagini so powerful that Ms. Maxim and Professor Dumbledore need to take action at the same time to control her?" Mr. Delacour looked a little surprised after hearing Dudley's plan.

"After all, she is Voldemort's closest companion. Her cunning is far beyond our imagination. It never hurts to be careful." Dudley explained.

But in fact, Dudley's unspoken worry was that Nagini had two other companions from the Three Prophets Witch Coven.Judging from the situation in the Forbidden Forest, they probably have a way to communicate with each other. Once one of them is in danger, they will notify the others.

Although the mysterious hooded woman has never been seen taking action, even Ariana is a formidable enemy who can compete with Dumbledore.If she wanted to take Nagini away, the people present might not be able to stop her, and she could only rely on Dumbledore to take action himself.

After Dudley revealed his plan, Mrs. Delacour lowered her head and remained silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of Dudley's plan.

"I understand, just follow your plan Dudley." Finally, Mrs. Delacour nodded, "In this case, before we receive a reply from Professor Dumbledore and Ms. Maxim, we will Stay put and let Furong hide first."

Fleur nodded and wiped the tears on her face: "Then I'll go back to the room first... I'll try not to come out during this period -"

"No, now our home has been targeted by Aurors, who may break in and conduct a surprise inspection at any time... Even your room is not very safe. It would be terrible if they broke in in the middle of the night." Lady Delacour shook her head slightly.

Then Mrs. Delacour and Newt exchanged glances, and after a moment, both nodded knowingly.

Newt looked at Dudley and gave a meaningful smile: "Dudley, I think you won't mind having a roommate in the bag space temporarily."
