Harry Potter's Cousin Dudley at Hogwarts

Time passed slowly, and the autumn at Hogwarts gradually deepened. The golden leaves drifted in the breeze, and every day carried the coolness of late autumn and the mysterious atmosphere of magic.Halloween, a festival full of surprises and joy, is finally here as scheduled.

On the day before Halloween, Dudley and his friends went to Hogsmeade excitedly to play.All kinds of magical gadgets in this village aroused their endless curiosity. From the magic props house to the dessert house, everything made them linger, and they didn't rush back until the last half hour before the Halloween banquet.

The Halloween banquet kicked off in the hall.The long dining table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, dazzling and fragrant.The students laughed and laughed, enjoying the food and each other's company.The real highlight of the Halloween Feast, however, is when the Hogwarts ghosts perform.

They jumped out of the walls or tables one after another, forming various formations to perform skating.Gryffindor's Nearly Headless Nick re-enacts his beheading experience in a dramatic fashion that makes the freshmen howl.

After the banquet, Dudley and the others walked towards the Gryffindor lounge contentedly.Today, however, the corridor leading to the Gryffindor lounge was extremely crowded, with students in front of it.

"What's the matter? Why doesn't everyone go in?" Ron frowned and asked in confusion.

Dudley took advantage of his height, tiptoed to look forward, and then said in a deep voice, "The hole in the portrait of the Fat Lady today seems to be unable to open."

At this moment, a clear voice pierced through the crowd: "Everyone, let me pass." It was Percy, who struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and then asked seriously: "Why are you all stuck here? Don't you all Don't remember the password?"

But then, Dudley and the others heard Percy yelling in a terrified voice: "Someone call Professor Dumbledore, it's bad, something happened."

Hearing Percy's words, the students in the crowd standing behind stood on tiptoes and looked forward out of curiosity, a sense of confusion and confusion permeated the air.Their eyes eagerly searched for answers, their ears pricked up, hoping to catch some clue from the noise.

"Dudley, what's the matter?" Harry frowned. He was a little taller than him, trying to stand on tiptoe and look forward, trying to find clues from the dense crowd, then turned his head and asked Dudley curiously.

Dudley squinted his eyes, staring at the situation in front of him, and said after thinking for a while: "The Fat Lady doesn't seem to be in her portrait."

Ron looked up and looked around. He has also grown a lot taller this year. With a little effort, he can see the scene in front of him. He said, "It looks real, but I don't know exactly what's going on."

At this moment, tension and anxiety filled the air, and finally someone called Professor Dumbledore.His figure appeared solemn and calm in the crowd.

"Everyone, make way." Professor Dumbledore's voice echoed in the corridor, and he walked quickly towards the direction of the portrait, while the Gryffindor classmates hurried to the side to let Dumbledore pass him.

The bold Hermione tightly held Harry and Ron's hands and followed Dumbledore, but Dudley had no choice but to follow them to the front.

When they saw that the portrait of the Fat Lady was severely scratched, fragments of the canvas used for the portrait were scattered on the floor, and even a large piece of the canvas was missing.

Dumbledore glanced quickly at the ruined portrait and frowned, a look of concern flashing across his face.At this time, he saw Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Lupine crowding the crowd, so he said to them, "The fat lady is missing, it seems that we need to find her first."

"Heck, good luck to you!" A voice gurgled, harsh and sarcastic.

It turned out to be the prankster Peeves, and now he is happily flying around in the air, leaving ghostly trails behind.

"Peves? Do you know something?" Dumbledore said, looking at Peeves gently.

Although Dumbledore was mild-mannered, Peeves dared not laugh at him.His body trembled slightly, as if he felt Dumbledore's authority.So he changed to a more respectful tone and said: "Fat lady, tsk tsk, crying so sadly."

"Where is the Fat Lady?" Dumbledore's voice deepened.

"She is hiding in the bushes in the landscape painting on the fifth floor. Oh, what a poor person." Peeves' voice was full of false sympathy, but his words revealed important information.

"Peeves, do you know who made the portrait of the fat lady?" Dumbledore asked softly, his eyes became sharper, as if trying to penetrate Peeves' heart.

"Oh, of course I know, that man is really scary." Peeves turned somersaults in the air, grinning at Dumbledore and said, "That man is Sirius Black, tsk tsk, he has a really bad temper Bad, just because the fat lady didn't allow him to go in, she destroyed the painting."

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's heart was full of shock and fear. The name of Sirius Black caused a sensation in their hearts.
