Harry Potter's Cousin Dudley at Hogwarts

"Count up to three yuan, and then down to two yuan, Harry, do you remember?" Hagrid counted the wall bricks above the dustbin, and tapped lightly on the wall three times with the head of his umbrella.

The brick he knocked on shook, and the brick began to move to both sides. A small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole became bigger and bigger, forming a doorway for people to pass through. Outside the doorway was a winding road. , cobbled streets with no end in sight.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Hagrid said to Dudley and the others with a smile.

Dudley and the others followed Hagrid and walked outside along the cobblestone road. Dudley looked back and saw that the original doorway began to narrow after they left, and soon became a complete wall again.

Harry was amazed by the strange shops on the street, and Dudley also felt that these were miraculous.

"It's been ten or twenty years, and this place hasn't changed. It's really backward." Only Petunia followed with a look of disgust. Seeing that her husband was also in high spirits, she couldn't help pinching his arm.

More than ten years ago, when her younger sister was studying, she came here with her parents. At that time, there was almost no change from now.

"Gringotts is here, and we need to change pounds into galleons, which are the currency of the wizarding world."

"We have prepared a lot of pounds." Vernon patted his pocket, indicating that he was prepared.

"But don't worry, Harry, your parents left you a vault at Gringotts, and we can withdraw some money from it," Hagrid said to Harry.

Looking at the white house standing tall in front of it, much taller than the surrounding shops, beside the shiny bronze gate, stood a figure in a scarlet gold inlaid uniform.

"Hagrid, that's it?" Harry asked curiously as he watched the figure in uniform move.

"Yes, that's a goblin," Hagrid whispered to Harry.

As they passed the goblin, the dark-faced, pointy-bearded goblin, who was a head shorter than Harry, bowed to Dudley and the others.

"Dudley, this goblin looks really ugly. I thought all goblins look like the little fairies in the picture book." Harry looked back, making sure that what he said would not be heard, and whispered to Dudley Li said.

"Harry, we're in someone else's territory, so be careful." Dudley didn't know if those goblins had sensitive ears. If they were sensitive, it would be embarrassing to be heard speaking ill of them, so Dudley Just in time to interrupt what Harry was saying.

Then a second door appeared in front of them, it was a silver line, and some words were carved on the door.

[Please come in, stranger, but you have to be careful what will happen to you if you are greedy. If you want to get something for nothing, you will be punished most severely. Therefore, if you want to take a piece of wealth that never belonged to you from our underground vault, You have been warned, O thief, that it is not treasure that brings you evil, but evil. 】

"Morning." Hagrid led them to the counter and said to an idle goblin, "We want to withdraw some money from Mr. Harry Potter's vault."

"Have you got his key, sir."

"Bring it." Hagrid found the key from his messy pocket.

The goblin took the key from Hagrid and looked it over seriously. "No problem sir."

"By the way, I also have a letter from Professor Dumbledore, about the 'thing' in the underground vault of No. 713." Hagrid solemnly handed the letter he had carefully hidden in the middle of his clothes to the goblin. .

"No problem." The goblin looked at it and returned the letter to Hagrid.

"I'll find someone to take you to the two underground vaults, Griphook, come here." The goblin shouted to a goblin named 'Griphook' next to him.

"What's the matter, Mr. Copper Coin?"

"Take them to the vault." Copper Coin handed a piece of paper to Griphook who came over.

"Okay, Mr. Copper Coin." Griphook looked at the vault number written on the paper, and then put the paper away.

"A few people here, please." Griphook led the way ahead.

"Dudley, do you want to go with me and Hagrid?" Harry asked Dudley beside him.

"No, I'll follow my parents to exchange pounds first, and we'll wait for you to come up here."

"Okay then." Harry and the others followed Griphook out of the hall through one of the doors.

Dudley followed his parents to line up at the counter, ready to exchange pounds for galleons, while Harry and Hagrid went to withdraw the money.

"Hagrid, what's that 'thing' in the basement of 713?" Harry asked curiously.

"I can't tell you that, Harry." Hagrid shook his head, and said mysteriously: "This is an absolute secret, it's about Hogwarts, and Professor Dumbledore trusts me, so it's so important. Leave it to me, it is impossible for me to tell you."

Griphook leads Harry to a door and opens it for them.

Harry originally thought that the inside of the door was ordinary, but when the door opened, he was still surprised.

Inside the door is a narrow stone corridor. When the door is opened, the torches on both sides of the stone corridor light up by themselves.

The stone corridor slopes down, and a small railway track is laid on it.

The pull ring that opened the door blew a whistle, and a small cart similar to that used by miners whizzed up the rails from below, and stopped firmly in front of them.

Following Griphook to climb onto the small trolley, the small trolley started to run, carrying Harry and the others down quickly.

At first, Harry could still see the surrounding scenery clearly, but as the speed of the cart became faster and faster, the howling wind forced Harry to close his eyes, hold the cart tightly with one hand, and hold the cart with the other. Hold on to your glasses tightly.

I don't know how long it took, but Harry only remembered that the trolley was turning around, and then he felt that the speed of the trolley began to slow down.

Harry opened his eyes to see the cart stop before a small brass door.

After a while, Harry quickly climbed out of the trolley.

"Hagrid? Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Hagrid moved his big man with difficulty, and after getting off the trolley, his back was tightly against the wall of the passageway, so that his knees would not tremble and stand unsteadily.

Griphook saw them all slow down, took the vault key from Hagrid, put it in the lock and turned it a few times, and opened the door.

A thick puff of green smoke rose from the open door.

Seeing the green smoke coming out of the door, Harry hastily covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

Harry, who was about to remind Hagrid to be careful, saw that Hagrid and the goblin didn't respond, as if they were used to the green smoke.

Harry put down his hand in embarrassment, and then sniffed it carefully, and found that the green smoke had no strange smell.

After a while, after the green smoke dissipated, looking at the scene in the vault, Harry took a deep breath.
