Chapter 115 113. I hope it won’t be the same as Quirrell last year

Neville and his grandmother Augusta Longbottom lived in the Longbottom Ancestral House, which was a building no less ancient than the Potter House. However, unlike the Potter House, which had fallen into disrepair, Longbottom's

The interior of the ancestral house has been cleaned very clean.

Unlike the Potter family, where Harry is the only one left, there are many members of the Longbottom family, such as Neville and an uncle.

It's just that they don't live in the old house, and they all left one after another when they became adults.

Only Neville, his grandfather and his grandson were present in the ancestral home.

Ms. Augusta is a witch who looks very stern, but she is very enthusiastic towards Dudley and Hermione.

"You are Mr. Dursley and Miss Granger, Neville often talks about you."

Dudley said respectfully: "Nice to meet you, Ms. Augusta."

Dudley respected the stern-looking old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

Neville's parents were tortured to madness by Bellatrix using the Cruciatus Curse because they opposed the Death Eaters and Voldemort. They are currently being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for eleven years.

Over the years, Ms. Augusta has been both father and mother, raising Neville on her own and supporting the family and the entire Longbottom family.

"You are the first friends to be invited to our home by Neville. I was extremely surprised when he asked me to invite you to our home."

"I'm glad he made friends at Hogwarts."

It can be seen that Ms. Augusta is really happy.

"Neville's character is too cowardly. I'm worried that he will be bullied at Hogwarts. He learns things very slowly. I'm also worried that he won't be able to keep up with the learning progress at Hogwarts."

Ms. Augusta talked a lot.

You can hear his deep concern and high expectations for Neville in and out of every sentence.

"Grandma!" Neville blushed.

I don't know if it's because I'm embarrassed or shy.

"Neville is excellent." Dudley said extremely seriously: "He is very brave and has a strong will. He is a true Gryffindor."

Ms. Augusta didn't expect Dudley to think so highly of Neville.

At the same time, Neville's cheeks turned redder.

At the end, Dudley added: "And his grades are still sixth in this year's grade."

"Yes, yes, I heard what Neville said." Ms. Augusta sighed again: "He said it was thanks to the help of Mr. Dursley and Miss Granger."

"After one year of study, he has changed a lot. Especially his body, um, he has become a lot stronger."

When talking about being strong, Ms. Augusta's eyes unconsciously fell on Dudley.

I thought my grandson was exaggerating, but I didn't expect that he was not exaggerating at all.

Is this really a first-year little wizard? A half-blood giant is nothing more than that, right?

Dudley shook his head: "Those are all the results of his own efforts. If a person doesn't work hard, no matter how many people help him, it will be in vain."

After a simple conversation, a few words made Ms. Augusta smile.

There are few elderly people who don't like others to praise their grandson, and they are happier than praising herself.

And she was really grateful to Dudley and Hermione. She knew very well what kind of character Neville was a year ago.

He is now a little man.

After arranging Dudley and Hermione's rooms and instructing Neville to study with them, Ms. Augusta left, leaving the young people to communicate on their own.

She is the head of the Longbottom family, and she has a lot to do.

In this way, Dudley and Hermione settled in Longbottom's old mansion.

Life is back to what it was before, exercise, practice, study, the simple three-point-one-line approach.

However, Hermione had one more way to ask Ms. Augusta for advice, and Dudley had one more way to look for alchemy + magic costume transformation.

Ms. Augusta is a very powerful wizard, not far behind Professor McGonagall of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts, especially her superb transfiguration skills that astonished Hermione.

Unfortunately, compared to the Transfiguration Charm, Ms. Augusta is much inferior in Charms. This is because she failed the O.W.Ls Charms class and was biased against Charms, thinking that this course was not worth learning.

Although the Longbottom family did not have any great figures in their ancestors, the family inheritance has never been broken. They have retained many unique copies of magic books. Although they cannot directly enhance their strength, many of them have given Dudley great inspiration.

I spent many days peacefully like this.

These days, Dudley has two new decorations on his hands.

A ring with a red gemstone (philosopher's stone) and a ring with a blue gemstone (magic crystal).

"If I have eight more rings, I might be able to cosplay a certain Marvel villain."

Dudley said.

Until three owls came and broke the peace. They brought the requirements for Hogwarts second-year textbooks.

""Break with the Ghost", "Wandering with the Ghouls", "Holiday with the Dominatrix", "Walking with the Trolls", "Traveling with the Vampires", "Wandering with the Werewolves", "With the XZ Snowman"

"A Year Together."

"Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook? A set of seven novels?"

Hermione looked at the book list on the parchment with a strange expression. The most eye-catching one was the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook. One subject almost required more books than all other subjects combined.

And these are not formal Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks, they are novels.

The key point is that novels are not as good as those written by Dudley.

Hermione has read Dudley's "Lord of the Rings" and "Dragonlance Chronicles" more than once, and has become a loyal publisher, coming to Dudley from time to time to ask for the subsequent plots.

"It seems that our second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is this guy named Lockhart."

Dudley tapped the name Lockhart on the parchment with his knuckles.

All ten novels were written by one person. If the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is not this Lockhart, then he can only be a fan of his novels.

After hearing this, Hermione wailed: "I hope I won't be like Quirrell last year, unable to learn anything."

Maybe it's more than just not learning anything. Dudley thought silently.

Of all the subjects last year, she was most dissatisfied with Quirrell. He was so lonely in class.

The only thing I learned was how to deal with trolls.

How can you help Dudley when you can't learn anything?

Hermione took out a pen and started writing and drawing on the parchment.

She plans to buy books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts for self-study based on previous Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks.

When she was at Oxford Dragon Primary School, she used this method to study by herself when she encountered a teacher who didn't teach well.

It was obvious that she had given up any hope in Professor Lockhart.

It should be said that it is indeed you, Hermione.
