Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 115 113. I hope it won't be the same as last year's Quilo

Neville and his grandmother Augusta Longbottom lived in Longbottom's ancestral house, which was no less ancient than Potter's old house, but unlike Potter's old house, which was in disrepair, Longbottom's The inside of the ancestral house was cleaned very clean.

Unlike Harry, the only child left in the Potter family, there are many members of the Longbottom family, such as Neville, who has an uncle and an uncle.

It's just that none of them lived in the old house, and they all left one after another after they became adults.

Neville and his grandson were the only ones in the ancestral house.

Ms. Augusta is a very stern-looking witch, but she is very warm to Dudley and Hermione.

"You are Mr. Dursley and Miss Granger, Neville often mentions you."

Dudley said respectfully, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Augusta."

Dudley respected the stern-looking old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

Neville's parents. Because they fought against the Death Eaters and Voldemort, they were tortured by Bellatrix with the Cruciatus Curse, and they are now being treated in St. Mungo's Hospital for eleven years.

All these years, Ms. Augusta has been both a father and a mother, raising Neville alone, supporting this family and the entire Longbottom family.

"You are the first friends who were invited by Neville to our house. I was very surprised when he asked me to invite you to our house."

"Glad he made friends at Hogwarts."

It could be seen that Ms. Augusta was really happy.

"Neville's character is too cowardly. I'm worried that he will be bullied at Hogwarts. He learns things very slowly. I'm also worried that he won't be able to keep up with the progress of Hogwarts."

Ms. Augusta babbled a lot.

His deep concern and earnest expectation for Neville can be heard in and out of the sentence.

"Grandmother!" Neville blushed.

I don't know if it's because I'm embarrassed or shy.

"Neville is excellent." Dudley said very seriously: "He is very brave and has a strong will. He is a true Gryffindor."

Ms. Augusta didn't expect Dudley to think so highly of Neville.

Meanwhile, Neville's cheeks flushed even more.

At the end, Dudley added: "And the grade is still sixth in this year's grade."

"Yes, yes, I heard what Neville said." Ms. Augusta sighed again: "He said that thanks to the help of Mr. Dursley and Miss Granger."

"After a year of study, he has changed a lot. Especially physically, he has become much stronger."

When talking about being strong, Ms. Augusta's eyes fell on Dudley unconsciously.

I thought my grandson was exaggerating, but I didn't expect that it was not an exaggeration at all.

Is this really a first-year little wizard? The half-blood giant is nothing more than that, right?

Dudley shook his head: "It's all the result of his own hard work. If a person doesn't work hard, no matter how many people help him, it will be in vain."

After a simple conversation, a few words made Ms. Augusta smile.

There are few elderly people who don't like others to praise their grandsons, and they are happier than boasting about themselves.

And she was really grateful to Dudley and Hermione. She knew exactly what Neville was like a year ago.

He's a little man now.

After arranging the rooms for Dudley and Hermione, and telling Neville to study with them, Ms. Augusta left and let the young people communicate by themselves.

She is the head of the Longbottom family, and there are still many things to do.

In this way, Dudley and Hermione lived in Longbottom's old house.

Life is back to before, exercise, practice, study, simple three points and one line.

But Hermione also asked Ms. Augusta for advice, and Dudley had another direction to find alchemy + magic costume transformation.

Ms. Augusta is a very powerful wizard, not much better than Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts Gryffindor College, especially Hermione is astonished by her superb Transfiguration.

It's a pity that compared to her Transfiguration Charm, Ms. Augusta is much inferior in Charms. This is because she failed the O.W.Ls Charms class back then and had a prejudice against Charms, thinking that this class is not worth learning.

Although the Longbottom family did not have any big names in their ancestors, the family inheritance has never been broken, and there are many orphan books on magic books. Although they cannot directly enhance their strength, many of them have greatly inspired Dudley.

It passed many days in peace.

These days, Dudley had two new decorations on his hands.

A ring with a red gemstone (the Philosopher's Stone), and a ring with a blue gemstone (magic crystal).

"With eight more rings, I'm afraid I can cosplay a certain Marvel villain."

Dudley said so.

Until three owls came to break the calm, they brought Hogwarts second-year textbook requirements.

"Break with a Banshee, Traveling with Ghouls, Vacation with Hags, Walking with Trolls, Sailing with Vampires, Traveling with Werewolves, and XZ Yeti A Year Together."

"Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook? A set of seven novels?"

Hermione looked at the list of books on the parchment with a strange expression, the most striking of which were the textbooks of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. One subject required more books than other subjects combined.

And these are not regular Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks, they are all novels.

The key point is that the novel is not as good-looking as Dudley's.

Hermione has read "The Lord of the Rings" and "Dragonlance Chronicle" written by Dudley more than once, and she has become a loyal reminder, coming to Dudley from time to time to ask for the next plot.

"It seems that our second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is this guy named Lockhart."

Dudley tapped the name Lockhart on the parchment with his knuckles.

All ten novels were written by one person. If the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is not this Lockhart, then he must be a fanatic of his novels.

After hearing the words, Hermione let out a groan: "I hope I won't be the same as Quirrell last year. I can't learn anything."

Maybe it's not just that you can't learn anything. Dudley said silently.

Of all the subjects she was most dissatisfied with last year was Quirrell. He was so lonely in his class.

The only thing to learn is how to deal with giant monsters.

How can you help Dudley if you can't learn anything?

Hermione took out her pen and began to write and draw on the parchment herself.

She plans to buy books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts based on the previous textbooks of Defense Against the Dark Arts for self-study.

When she was in Oxford Long Primary School, she used this method to study by herself when she met a teacher who was not good at teaching.

Apparently she had given up all hope for this Professor Lockhart.

Well, it's really you, Hermione.
