Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

To be honest, having a group of experienced teachers actively choose a student to solve this extremely dangerous matter would be explosive news that would make the faculty and staff make the headlines of local newspapers anywhere.

But in Hogwarts, especially without Dumbledore in charge, it is difficult for teachers to deal with dangerous creatures like the Basilisk.

Especially, the one who volunteered was the famous Dudley Dursley?

No one had any objections, so Dudley went to the secret room and received a unanimous vote.

"In that case, please follow my instructions for now."

"Minerva McGonagall, please take note. I will make the following deployment adjustments."

"Steady the panic of the students and continue the class. After all, there are exams at the end of the semester."

"Quickly urge the cafeteria to prepare enough space and enough Chinese liquor - the kind made from sorghum. We need enough space, knives, and utensils to decompose and cook an entire ancient giant snake monster."

"If other teachers need snake organs, please report in advance. Also, I can only give you one-third of the snake blood and snake gall."

"Repeat that... um, no need."

Dudley quickly walked among the teachers and assigned tasks.

"Cooking? Dursley, what are you thinking about? Could the monster in the Chamber of Secrets be a basilisk?"

Professor McGonagall heard what he said, but it was still a little long before she understood it.

After all, she didn't follow these guys into the forbidden forest.

"Okay, let's do this. I promise to rescue Ginny Weasley and completely destroy this Chamber of Secrets that is endangering Hogwarts."

Dudley patted his chest. Snape was the first to leave. After being with him for so long, he still had basic trust in him.

As for the truth of the incident...

Let’s wait until we have supper at night and then ask this giant monster in detail!

Seeing that Snape had already taken action, Professor McGonagall sighed, clapped her hands, and signaled the professors to act according to Dudley's plan.

"By the way, I would also like to borrow two treasures from you - or rather, Professor Dumbledore."

Professor McGonagall was stunned.

"What do you want to borrow?"

Ron insisted on coming, but was handed over to Percy by Harry and Dudley. The prefect had locked himself in his bedroom because of what he thought was "negligence". Dudley knocked on the door and said something, and he immediately opened the door and took in Ron, who was unable to stand up due to grief.

"Promise me, you must do it!"

Percy had tears in his eyes as he said this.

"A man keeps his word!"

Although he didn't quite understand what the "cauldron" Dudley was talking about, Percy nodded secretly at his determination.

Before leaving, Neville's figure blocked the door again.

"Get out of the way! Longbottom!"

Harry was extremely anxious, thinking that Neville was just being naughty again like he was last term.

"No, I'm not trying to stop you."

"I just want to say...be careful and come back safely."

Neville stuffed a bunch of things to Dudley and silently made way. Dudley looked down and saw that they were a bunch of amulets he had bought before. Of course, the smell was not very friendly now.

"Thanks, Neville, tell everyone there's a feast in the cafeteria tonight."

Leaving aside the surprised Gryffindors, the two brothers quickly ran to the girls' bathroom.

Moaning Myrtle did not talk nonsense as usual. Perhaps it was because this humanoid monster holding a street lamp, wearing a tattered wizard hat, and a big red bird standing on its shoulder was really scary for ghosts. In short, within three minutes, Harry and Dudley found the inconspicuous faucet - there was a small snake printed on the side.

"Say something to this thing in Parseltongue, 'open' or something like that."

Dudley poked Harry.

"Honestly, cousin, you actually dared to speak to the professors like that just now... No, when will Snape listen to you?"

Harry was still immersed in the scene of Dudley commanding the three armies just now.

"We'll talk about it later. Do you still want to save Ginny?"

Dudley pouted.

It is quite difficult to imagine that this faucet is a real snake.

However, human life was at stake, and Harry also had some good feelings towards Ginny, the red-haired girl, so he naturally did not delay. After speaking for a long time, he finally uttered a "hissing" sound from his mouth.

Suddenly, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to rotate rapidly. Then, the pool began to move. The two of them, along with Myrtle, watched the pool slowly disappear, revealing a huge pipe that Dudley could barely crawl into.

"I'll go down first. Wait for my signal."

Dudley made a sign and leapt down with the whole mass of encumbrances.

Harry couldn't help but wonder, if it was the boastful Lockhart from before, would he be as decisive and proactive as his cousin?

After a moment, Dudley's voice came from below. Harry took a deep breath and disappeared into the tube under Myrtle's worried gaze.

"Well, good luck to you, handsome boy, and... that giant monster!"

Moaning Myrtle murmured, then dived into the water tank in the last compartment, revealing half of her blue head, and stared in the direction of the pipe.

When Harry arrived underground, Dudley had already turned on the street lamp. In the bright light, the two walked in silence in the corridor.

The road was wet and muddy, and bones of small animals appeared from time to time, which made Harry feel a little creepy.

"Cousin, you... aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a battle. Isn't this the only moment we've been training for?"

Harry was finding his cousin increasingly difficult to understand.

They are just students. Do they need to train their bodies every day as if they were preparing for a war?

After walking a few hundred steps, a huge, bright green snake skin appeared in front of the two.

"Six meters long. Looks like we're in for a treat tonight."

"Don't forget to take it with you when you leave. You never know what potion it might be useful for."

Dudley licked his lips, and Harry, who was standing beside him, looked at his expression and became even more confused.

Is there nothing this person is afraid of?

The tunnel went around one bend after another, and after a while, it ended at a wall carved with two snakes whose eyes were inlaid with emeralds.

"Haishi...Hasisa."

The two snakes slowly retreated, and the wall opened in the middle. A dim and spacious room appeared in front of the brothers. It was surrounded by snake sculptures, which looked eerie and terrifying.

Fawkes, who was on Dudley's shoulder, spread his wings and wanted to call out, but Dudley grabbed his beak.

"Harry, go get Ginny first, I'll come when I'm ready."
