Harry Potter's Cousin Dudley at Hogwarts

As soon as Dudley and his group passed through the passage, there were screams in their ears, and Dudley and the others couldn't help covering their ears.

"There he is, mother, there he is, look!"

I saw a little girl with red hair pointing to their side and shouting excitedly.

"Harry Potter!" the little girl screamed at Dudley and the others. "Look, Mom! I see—"

"Don't yell, Ginny, it's impolite to point fingers at others." Ron blushed and apologized to Dudley and the others: "I'm very sorry, Harry, that's my sister, she was spoiled by my mother gone."

At this time, Mrs. Weasley walked over with Ginny smiling.

"Sorry Harry, Ginny got a little excited seeing you," she said.

"That's all right," said Harry, "and thank you for the fudge and sweater, Mrs Weasley."

"Oh, that's nothing, dear," Mrs. Weasley replied mildly.She had a kind and caring smile on her face, showing her kindness to Harry.

"You are Dudley and Hermione, right?" Mrs. Weasley said to Dudley and the others with a smile, "Ron said in his letter home that he had made some good friends."

"Mrs. Weasley, hello." Dudley and Hermione hurriedly greeted her.

"You're welcome, children," replied Mrs. Weasley kindly.

"I saw my dad, it looks like I have to go. Goodbye, Mrs. Weasley. Goodbye, Dudley, Harry and Ron." Hermione noticed that her father was waiting for her, and said goodbye to Dudley and the others.

Seeing Hermione leave, Dudley and Harry also bid farewell to Mrs Weasley and Ron.

"Cousin Dudley, what about Aunt Petunia and the others?" After leaving Ron and Mrs. Weasley, Harry looked around the station, but there was no sign of Aunt Petunia and the others.

"Maybe my mother forgot to come!" Dudley said with some embarrassment.Since he asked his parents to open the shop, they seem to have ignited their interest in running a business. Now every time they write to Hogwarts, they mostly describe how much money they have made, or urge him to step up refining potions.

"It looks like we'll have to drive home by ourselves," Dudley said.

Harry nodded, "Then let's go quickly! Otherwise, it will be dark when we get home."

When Dudley and Harry dragged their heavy luggage back to No. 4 Privet Drive in Little Whinging, Surrey, it was already getting dark as Harry said.

"Aren't Aunt Petunia and the others at home?" Harry followed Dudley into the living room, and seeing the dark and empty room with no lights on, he couldn't help asking.

"My mother wrote us a letter." Turning on the light, Dudley immediately saw the letter on the table.

Picking up the letter, Dudley looked at the contents.

"Dudley, what did Aunt Petunia write in the letter?" Harry asked Dudley after putting away his luggage.

"Uh." Looking at the letter in his hand, Dudley was a little speechless.

It turned out that his parents wanted to open up new markets, and after a final discussion, they decided to open the new store in Huaxia in the East.

They felt that Huaxia would be a big market, but they were worried that he would disagree. After all, in most European and American countries, Huaxia was very backward.

But they felt that this might be their opportunity, so they were going to investigate the situation first.If all goes well, they intend to discuss it with him again.

"My mother and the others went abroad?" Dudley handed the letter to Harry.

"Going abroad? Aunt Petunia and the others are going to go abroad?" Harry took the letter curiously, and carefully read the contents. "Aunt Petunia and the others plan to open the store in Huaxia in the East. It's really amazing."

Dudley glanced at Harry, as expected of the Lion of Gryffindor.Ordinary people only worry about security issues, especially in this age without a developed Internet, Europeans and Americans may only have some prejudices about the poverty and backwardness of China in the East.

Even the mention of possibility will directly blurt out the words poverty, danger, and barbarism.

"Looks like we're the only ones at home this summer," Dudley said.

Harry nodded.

"Dudley, are you hungry?" Harry asked. "I'm hungry. I'm going to cook something."

"Then prepare one for me too. I'll take a shower first. I've been in the car for so long, and I'm so dirty." Dudley said, carrying his salute and going upstairs.

After the dinner Harry had cooked, Dudley offered to stay and do the dishes.

"Dudley, why do you like taking a bath at night so much? I'm so exhausted, I was going to do it tomorrow morning," said Harry.

"Go and wash, you're already smelly, how can you sleep with such dirt!" Dudley said.

"Smelly?" Harry raised his hand to smell it, and then said, "Dudley, you're lying, it doesn't smell at all."

Soon, as night fell, the lights in the streets dimmed, and the lights in the windows of the houses began to gradually go out.

Realizing that it was getting late, Dudley kept urging Harry to go to bed, saying that he would come back to play with his computer tomorrow.

In the end, Harry reluctantly was directly pushed out of his room by Dudley, and had no choice but to accept the fate of sleeping.

Dudley was lying alone in bed when he suddenly remembered something.

He immediately jumped up from the bed, started to open his suitcase, and kept searching.

Finally, he found a box at the bottom of the box.

Dudley opened the box, and inside was a human-shaped gemstone that looked like a red crystal.

This is the paper man he designed to absorb the energy of the Sorcerer's Stone. After absorbing the energy of the Sorcerer's Stone, it becomes the same as a gem.

Due to the preciousness of the Sorcerer's Stone, Dudley did not dare to conduct experiments when he was in Hogwarts, for fear of accidentally triggering an explosion of the Sorcerer's energy, and the consequences would be disastrous.

But at Hogwarts, Dudley has been thinking about how to deal with this paper man who absorbed the energy of the Philosopher's Stone.

He has two ideas, one is to make it into a substitute for the Philosopher's Stone, and the other is to make it into a potion.However, both approaches have some problems.

First of all, Dudley didn't know how the original Philosopher's Stone was made, so there was no way of replicating it.That made it difficult for him to figure out how to make a similar replacement.

Secondly, as for making potions, a lot of experiments were required, and the paper figurines that absorbed the energy of the Philosopher's Stone had to be cut or even crushed.

Dudley didn't know if any bad things would happen if he cut the paper figurine, for example, it exploded with a 'boom'.

In the end, although Dudley didn't have much confidence, he finally made up his mind to make the paper doll into a card.

He knew that this decision meant that if the production failed, the paper man that absorbed the energy of the Sorcerer's Stone would be scrapped as a material.In other words, he only has one chance to try.

Anyway, he doesn't have much confidence in other methods, so it's better to use this paper figure in a place he is more familiar with.

But Dudley knew he had to be careful and take this one and only chance.
