Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 279 277. That's Poison

"Weasley!" Snape called suddenly.

It startled Ron, who was staring at Dudley's cauldron and swallowing continuously.

I saw Snape walked up to Ron and took out a pill.

"Eat this."

"Okay, Professor."

Knowing that he had just offended Snape, Ron must not argue with him now, so he obediently took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

After I finished, I smacked my lips, feeling the taste of bitter almonds in my mouth, which was not particularly delicious.

As soon as he thought of the word delicious, his eyes couldn't help but aim at the pot of soup, if only I could eat a bowl of it.

Not much, just one bowl is enough.

The mouth is constantly secreting saliva.

what to do? I want to eat it!

After that, I begged Brother D to cook a bowl for himself alone.

"What is this? Professor."

It was a while before Ron thought of asking Snape.

"poison."

Snape said flatly, addressing the pill very briefly and directly.

Ron: "???"

"Since Dursley said that what he did was an antidote, and now he is going to attend the meeting of the warriors, then you can do it for him."

"Aren't you companions?"

Ron tried to squeeze his throat and spit it out, but the pill melted in his mouth and had already flowed down the esophagus.

Snape handed Ron the soup Dudley had given him.

"Of course, if Dursley fails. Then we can only collect the body for Mr. Weasley. Don't worry, we will put your ashes in a box and bury them in the back garden of Hogwarts. I think everyone will remember him."

At that moment, Ron's face was green, and he was in an extremely bad mood. Snape's face changed from black to normal, and the brows were stretched, and he was in a good mood.

You thought you were Dursley? Dare to sleep in my Snape class.

This is just a small punishment.

Well, the potions professor can't lose face.

Dudley and Harry followed the little wizard to a room. Besides Viktor and Fleur who participated in the competition, there were several other people in the room. Next to Bagman stood a witch with heavy makeup and a magenta robe— — Rita Skeeter.

Star reporter for the Daily Prophet.

"Dear warriors, please wait here for a moment, Dumbledore is waiting for the other referees, so that the ceremony of testing the wand can be carried out. Before that, you can accept an interview with Ms. Skeeter, who is preparing to write an essay for the Triwizard Tournament. Big news," Bagman said.

Hearing this, Fu Rong asked suspiciously: "Wand detection?"

"Yes, before the official start of the competition, you must check whether your wands are fully functional and in good condition. This is an important prop for you to break through."

"Okay everyone, I'll go up first, I wish you a happy chat with Ms. Skeeter."

Bagman hurried upstairs after explaining briefly, as if he really didn't want to stay here for another minute.

"I didn't expect to meet you here for the first time, Mr. Dursley."

Rita Skeeter completely ignored the other heroes, her eyes were fixed on Dudley, her expression was half a smile.

She had been chasing after her to do an exclusive interview with herself, but Dudley had mercilessly rejected them all.

As for why Dudley didn't like the Daily Prophet, it was as simple as that.

The conflict between him and the Daily Prophet can be traced back to the initial submission. At that time, the publishing house under the Daily Prophet clearly rejected Dudley's submission and devalued his work as worthless.

"Can I talk to you alone? Go to the small room next to it and do an exclusive interview. Of course, I also want to do an exclusive interview with the most legendary Mr. Potter." Rita Skeeter pointed to the small room next to him , tried to make a smiling expression, and tried to be polite in her tone, but the thick foundation on her face made her smile look very weird.

"It's not necessary. Is there anything that cannot be said publicly? Just do it here." Dudley said lightly, without any intention of getting up: "Besides, I don't need to do any special interviews, no need."

Seeing how shameless Dudley was, Rita Skeeter wanted to pull him away forcibly, but she could only give up when she thought of the huge gap in size between herself and the other party.

"Well then."

Rita Skeeter was very unwilling to say that she took out a shorthand pen and a notebook and started the interview.

"Ms. Skeeter" However, the two of them hadn't chatted for a few words, only to hear Dudley suddenly say: "I don't want to say something that I didn't say on the Daily Prophet tomorrow, or to abuse me in any form or way." Unreasonable speculation, can this be done?"

Rita Skeeter nodded without thinking and replied, "The Daily Prophet has always been fact-based."

"Really?" Dudley asked, "Are you sure?"

"certainly."

Unexpectedly, Dudley stood up suddenly, and grabbed the shorthand pen and the manuscript next to Rita Skeeter before the other party could react: "Then what is your shorthand pen recording?"

"Obviously I haven't said anything yet, why is there a five-page manuscript?"

With just a glance, Dudley's expression darkened immediately.

'Dursley, Potter, Granger freak love triangle', 'Scarhead, past life'

He just knew that this woman was choreographing him.

"give me back!"

Rita Skeeter tried to snatch the manuscript, but Dudley didn't get her way.

"I think I, as the subject of the interview, have a right to know."

Dudley tore the manuscript to shreds with two swipes.

"Ms. Rita Skeeter, I solemnly warn you that based on your dishonesty, I will not accept any kind of interview with the Daily Prophet if I see any false news about me in the Daily Prophet. "

"I would be glad to see you at the court of the Wizengamot."

"Harry, I think we should go up."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Rita Skeeter, and threw the pieces casually. Countless scraps of paper ignited out of thin air, and disappeared without a trace when blown by the breeze.

Dudley is not interested in playing a game of catching 'bugs' threats with the other party. The content on the shorthand pen has already made him angry. If the other party dares to push forward

Then don't blame him for being unpredictable.

He is not Dumbledore, his temper is not that good, and the other party has affected two important people of his—brother and um.

Rita Skeeter's face was black and blue, and this was the first time she had encountered this kind of treatment in her career. Her big bulging eyes were staring at Dudley's leaving back resentfully.

So what if the manuscript is torn up? She can write more, she vowed to make the other party pay for today's behavior. who is she? She is Rita Skeeter, a righteous female reporter who 'defies power' and 'dare to speak out'. Why worry about the threat of a mere underage wizard?

Even Fudge, the Minister of Magic, has to give him three points of courtesy.

She had already figured out how to get revenge in her heart.

Obviously, the first post of the Daily Prophet did not take Dudley's words seriously.
