Chapter 62 62. Hermione, you actually skipped class?

"Dudley, is it really okay?"

Hermione's face was flushed, and she looked around nervously, fearing that someone might suddenly appear.

"It's my first time."

He kept lowering his head and fidgeting with his clothes.

"Although this is my first time, don't worry."

Dudley slapped his chest so hard that it made a thumping sound.

"Believe me, I am very strong in this area."

"But if we are discovered." Hermione looked hesitant, looking very troubled. After all, this was her first time doing this kind of thing: "How about forget it."

This kind of thing is just like skipping class, it's so exciting.

"Don't worry, it'll be quick. I'll be out as soon as I get in."

Dudley saw that Hermione was very hesitant, so he gave her a shot in the arm: "Hermione, you don't want to either"

"Do you feel uncomfortable being hungry in the middle of the night?"

'Cuckoo.'

As soon as he finished speaking, someone's stomach rang in a very tacit understanding and at the right time.

Hermione's face turned even redder.

"Come as soon as you go, wait for me."

After saying that, Dudley strode into the Hogwarts kitchen next to the Hufflepuff common room.

The moment Dudley stepped into the kitchen, the kitchen, which had been making clanging noises, suddenly became quiet.

"Dear little wizard, may I help you in any way?"

A voice with a respectful tone sounded from under Dudley's body.

Dudley leaned down and saw a humanoid creature standing at his feet with a respectful expression.

It was a species with a short stature and a skinny body that seemed to be only skin and bones. It was the size of a tennis ball, with big eyes and bat-like ears. Although it was rude to think so, its nose did look somewhat similar to Snape.

If I had to say it was similar to Dudley's impression, it would probably be a malnourished version of a goblin with normal skin color.

It is also somewhat similar to Gollum in the novels written by Dudley and the "Lord of the Rings" series, except that the ears are bigger and the nose is pointier.

Of course, they are somewhat similar to the goblins of Gringotts, but the goblins' teeth are sharp teeth.

House elves are a magical species. According to the history of magic, they are a vassal race of wizards, elves who have served wizards for generations.

It is worth mentioning that house elves have very strong magical powers, and even many adult wizards who are not good at fighting are no match for them.

According to "A History of Hogwarts", house elves are responsible for the kitchens at Hogwarts.

"I'm a little hungry. Can I use the kitchen here?"

Dudley looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the big iron pot on the stove.

"Don't you think the food we cook is delicious?"

Just listen to the house elf say tremblingly, and then directly hit his head against the wall, making a 'dong dong' sound.

"Bad zipper. Bad zipper. The food you made is hard for the little wizard to eat."

Dudley stopped and said, "Stop."

Although I have long known that house elves have strange brain circuits, I did not expect that

Five minutes later, Dudley came out of the kitchen with a bucket of fried chicken and sauerkraut sausages.

"so much."

Hermione looked at the pile of food and said in surprise: "You ransacked the kitchen?"

“It’s quite welcoming inside.”

Dudley didn't want to delve into this issue and changed the subject: "Eat something while it's hot. It's time to rest later."

It will be rest time at Hogwarts in a while. If you continue to wander around the castle at this time, you will be imprisoned if you are caught by the administrator Filch.

Although Dudley has never been caught by him on his night walks.

In a short while, the two of them had wiped out the large pile of food. To be precise, most of it went into Dudley's stomach.

First, he walked Hermione to the door of the Gryffindor lounge. Dudley did not go back directly to the Slytherin lounge. Instead, he found a window, climbed to the outer wall of the castle, and then climbed up to the spire of the castle.

You need to do some exercise after eating. Dudley hasn't done his evening exercise yet.

Different from the early morning exercise, this time Dudley's body, legs, and wrists were all bursting with golden sparks.

Ripple Qigong.

During the day it is pure physical exercise, while in the evening it is ripple Qigong practice.

Day after day, year after year, every day is like this.

At this time, Hermione had returned to the Gryffindor common room.

"Where have you been?"

As soon as Hermione arrived in the lounge, she attracted the attention of many Gryffindors in the lounge.

It is true that she and Dudley did not attract Gryffindor's attention when they left, but that was Hermione after all, the little witch who liked to raise her hands to answer questions to earn points for Gryffindor. Unlike Dudley, who was attracted by Slater.

Collective Lin selectively 'forgot', and Gryffindor suddenly didn't hear the words 'Gryffindor extra points' for a whole class. It was somewhat unaccustomed to him, and Hermione was naturally remembered.

"I can't believe it, Hermione, I heard you skipped class."

The speaker was Cormac McLaggen, a Gryffindor senior who was one year above Hermione. He was looking at Hermione in an exaggerated tone.

"I don't think we know each other well enough yet to call each other by name, Mr. McLaggen."

Hermione didn't give the other party even the slightest bit of good looks and said coldly.

"Okay, Miss Know-it-all."

At first glance, the title Miss Know-It-All sounds pretty good, as she knows everything, but in fact it is more of a sarcasm.

Hermione has a not-so-good habit. Often when she encounters a problem, she will not go straight to the topic. Instead, she will explain everything she knows in detail from beginning to end, and then point out your mistakes very straightforwardly.

place.

Know-it-all implies that she is talkative and annoying.

"I just came here to remind you not to go astray. If I were you I would be more careful."

"If you continue like this, no one in Gryffindor will like you, no one!"

He said this for no reason. Hermione and Dudley are very close, as evidenced by the fact that they often go in and out of the Hogwarts library together. But as for the little wizard, he can be with whomever he wants to be, it doesn't matter.

.

The important thing is - Dudley is a Slytherin.

The impulsive and stupid Gryffindor will not care about your reasons. In their opinion, as a Gryffindor, you should keep a distance from Slytherin and draw a clear line. If you don't draw a clear line, you are a traitor.

As for Harry? That's different. Dudley is Harry's cousin, and Harry is special.

He is the savior, he is the saint Potter.

Double standards are what every carbon-based creature likes to do.

Of course, not all Gryffindors are targeting Hermione, but there are stupid, annoying and self-righteous people everywhere, and there are quite a lot of them.

Hermione didn't care about this. She was a very independent little witch who always had her own way of doing things, especially because she didn't fit in with others. This was also the reason why she was not popular with Gryffindor, even though she had won a lot of points for the house.

, however. They don’t care.

It was nothing at first, until recently, things that Hermione put in the lounge were often lost inexplicably. For example, when she got up this morning, she looked for her shoes for a long time and couldn't find them. Fortunately, she brought a lot of them.

But she never told Dudley this.

In fact, this phenomenon is normal in Hogwarts. After all, where there are people, there will be 'conflicts' or what is called bullying.

This phenomenon exists whether it is a school for ordinary people or a school for magic. However, most of the time at Hogwarts, the conflicts are transferred to other colleges, such as Snape and James. However, this situation does not exist in our own school.

In fact, internal colleges also happen, such as Luna who will be assigned to Ravenclaw House in a year.

Cormac said and looked around. The Gryffindors all laughed in unison. The laughter was so harsh.

Only Neville, who was sitting in the corner with a bandage on his arm, his lips trembling slightly, seemed to be trying his best to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

I personally am very opposed to school bullying. Maybe your unintentional actions will make others spend their lives healing.
