Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 83 Voldemort's Wand! The Lonely Squib!

Inside the interrogation room, white light shone brightly.

Dudley practiced Legilimency on Little Pettigrew's mouse head for over an hour.

He finally grasped the knack and became familiar with this advanced spell.

Little Pettigrew can no longer even scream; he can only hum incoherently.

His mind was foggy, and he almost went insane from Dudley's unskilled Legilimency.

Fortunately, Dudley knew his limits. He didn't want to torture a fool, so whenever he felt that Pettigrew was about to reach his limit, he would stop and give Pettigrew a chance to catch his breath, in order to prevent Pettigrew from really becoming stupid or crazy.

Although the spell was cast intermittently, more than an hour was enough for Dudley to uncover all of Pettigrew's secrets.

Stripping away the jumbled memories that were meaningless to Dudley and Harry, Pettigrew's most useful secret was that he knew where Voldemort's wand was.

Back then, in Godric's Hollow, in the ruins of Harry's parents' house after its destruction, Peter Pettigrew, before being hunted by Sirius Black, went there and found Voldemort's yew wand left behind when his body collapsed, and carefully hid it in a secret place.

In the original story, Pettigrew's identity was exposed. After escaping from the Shrieking Shack, he went to find Voldemort's main soul, which had been left out in the open, and retrieved the yew wand that Voldemort had deliberately hidden, returning it to Voldemort.

Now, Dudley has intercepted the secret of Voldemort's wand location.

"Hahahaha!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Dudley laughed three times, and on a whim, he raised his hand and slapped Little Star twice more.

"Cousin! Have you found something?"

Harry asked curiously, knowing that whenever his cousin showed that smile, it meant that his cousin had received a benefit or had news about some kind of benefit.

"That's right! Harry! It seems you don't need to worry about your holly wand going against its twin brother!"

Dali explained with a cheerful smile, then drew a small circle in the air with his right hand and took out a syringe full of medicine from his personal space.

The syringe is labeled in English: Adrenaline Injection (Veterinary Use).

Then, Dali decisively removed the syringe cap, inserted the syringe into Little Pettigrew, and pushed all the medicine inside into the syringe.

"Well……"

After being pricked by the needle, Little Pettigrew's mouse-like eyes bulged and then contracted, veins popping out. He groaned a few times and fainted again.

But his blood pressure went up, his heart gained strength, and his vitality improved.

"That's enough revenge for tonight, Harry!"

As Dudley spoke, he reopened the spatial passage and locked the unconscious Peter Pettigrew back into the sturdy cage in his personal space.

He also used magic to gather up the large amount of blood from the dwarf stars that had spilled on the cross and the ground, and stored it in his personal space.

Wizard blood, especially the blood of a wizard with considerable power like Little Star, is a decent material that we'll use later.

……

Dudley and Harry temporarily left the interrogation room set up in the Room of Requirement and returned to the Gryffindor boys' dormitory. The fat lady on the door let the two brothers through without even asking for a password.

That's how useful Dudley's special privileges are.

"Harry, it's getting late! You should get some rest! Tomorrow's your first day of school, you can't be tired!"

Dali whispered a comforting remark to his cousin.

Harry quietly changed into his pajamas, obediently climbed into his wooden bed, and fell into a deep sleep. He didn't ask Dudley about his plans for the rest of the night; he trusted his cousin completely.

"Safeguarding the town!"

Dudley left the Gryffindor common room once again, casting a powerful protective charm on himself and Harry's dormitory before leaving.

The 'Peaceful Guardian' spell can create a protective area within a certain range. If an enemy uses an offensive spell within the protected area, the spell will be deflected and miss.

The portrait of the Fat Lady at the entrance to the Gryffindor common room yawned helplessly, watching Dudley, who was almost invisible, slip out once again.

No, it's not that. Whose little wizard goes out twice in one night? Especially on the first night of school!

Even more outrageous, Hogwarts gave this young wizard special privileges, forcing her to leave the door open for Dudley while she was dozing off.

Dudley paid no heed to the resentment in the portrait of the fat lady. He had come out for another night stroll, naturally with a necessary goal and reason.

"Hogwarts, show me the way! I need to find Warden Filch!"

Dudley silently strengthened this resolve in his heart, and then he once again felt the guidance from the unseen.

He was enchanted with a Disappearance Charm and followed the guidance down from the eighth floor of the castle. The castle staircases that moved and disappeared along the way worked together to allow Dudley to reach the location of the hunchbacked old gatekeeper in the shortest possible way.

Filch was carrying a lantern and patrolling the fourth-floor corridor of the castle, with his beloved cat, Lady Lorice, pacing not far away, keeping him company.

Argus Filch - The Lone Squib (Rank D)

[Details of the unfortunate incident: Argus Filch was a loyal doorkeeper of Hogwarts Castle, a strict administrator who upheld the rules of Hogwarts, and also a lonely Squib.]

He dedicated his life to Hogwarts, but he was unable to cast spells like the others at Hogwarts.

Filch was extremely concerned about this, and he forbade students to cast spells in the corridors, because the corridors were his domain as a Squib;

He enjoyed tormenting young wizards who broke school rules, punishing them by making them do tedious chores without using magic, in order to satisfy his jealousy.

He refused to eat at the faculty seating area in the Great Hall every day because he had no magic and no wand, so he couldn't simply tap an empty plate with his wand and receive a meal from a house-elf.

He could only catch some fish in the Black Lake, secretly fry them in his office to fill his stomach, and share the food with his beloved pet cat, Mrs. Lorice, seeking solace from his loneliness.

Dudley remained hidden, standing some distance away from Filch and Mrs. Lorris, silently watching them and reviewing the system's previous notifications.

To be honest, he didn't have a strong feeling about the character Filch, let alone like him.

This is an ordinary person filled with pride and jealousy.

Filch has no sense of right and wrong, his thoughts are wicked, he enjoys torturing people, and he obeys whoever is the principal, regardless of whether the order is reasonable.

In the original story, when Umbridge, the pink toad, was the headmaster, Filch was very happy and willingly served as the pink toad's lapdog, simply because the pink toad allowed him to torture the students at will.

But Filch is not a loveless person. He hates students who can use magic, but he deeply loves Hogwarts, the castle that teaches magic. Furthermore, he has a lot of affection for his pet cat, Mrs. Lorris, and regards her as his emotional support.

Therefore, before Filch harmed himself or his family and friends, Dudley was willing to resolve Filch's unfortunate situation at no cost or low cost for the sake of system rewards and having another subordinate.

With that in mind, Dali got to work.

He already had a theory about how to turn a Squib into a normal wizard; now, what he needed was...

Let's verify the hypothesis!
