Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Dudley had no interest in the children's endless pranks or the gossipy news. As usual, he spent the morning doing aerobic exercise, and after lunch he went to the court to practice batting.

This "weird" lifestyle really attracted some people, especially when they saw the effects of his weight loss gradually showing up, with his fat belly and big butt gradually becoming flatter, and his becoming more flexible on the court. Fat people noticed it one after another. Hope, like Neville Longbottom, often imitates his movements for fitness, and even Goyle and Crabbe are asking about his secret recipe for weight loss.

Tired and sweaty, Dudley walked back to the castle carrying the windy broom. He glanced at the battery "charge" displayed in the ordnance manual and sighed slightly.

He has used up two magic batteries in more than a month, but he has to use them. Quidditch cannot be played well by watching or talking on paper. Proficient use of flying broomsticks is also a necessary combat ability, but if there is no replenishment of batteries, The way he plays, he will run out of ammunition and food after playing one game at most.

He was about to go to the dormitory to change clothes, when he saw the Harry trio coming towards them, watching them "dress up", looking very excited, and looking forward to Nick's death anniversary party.

"Hey! Dudley! Are you really not going? I promise it will be super fun!" Ron was extremely excited. He had never participated in such a "cool" activity.

"Yes, Dudley! No one alive has ever attended a ghost party! I think I must have learned a lot of wonderful knowledge!" Hermione continued.

Dudley's head shook like a rattle. The death anniversary party not only had no delicious food, but the activities were extremely boring. Moreover, after they "enjoyed" a brief novel experience, they noticed the basilisk's movements when they went out, and were then killed by Phil. Strange accused of killing Mrs. Norris (the cat), and there was something unpleasant for them tonight.

"I have to take a bath. You go ahead and see you after dinner. I also want to set off fireworks tonight!" Dudley said perfunctorily. He planned to stare at Ginny after taking a bath. It would be best if he could get out of her hands. Get Tom Riddle's diary.

The three little ones were quite disappointed and felt very sorry for Dudley. After all, the next death anniversary party would have to wait for another 10 years!

Dudley: Thank you!

The senior students are almost gone. Even if the decorations in the castle are exquisite, they will be tired of seeing them all month long. However, there will be many interesting merchants or wandering entertainers coming to Hogsmeade, and they can buy things that cannot be bought in ordinary times. The novelties that have arrived, some young lovers who are in love with each other can also take the opportunity to make an appointment.

Ron's Huobao brother planned to use the "huge sum of money" saved during this period to make large purchases during the holidays, and then sell them at high prices to classmates who wanted to spend money for excitement after the holidays.

The lower grade students were having a carnival in the auditorium, and Dumbledore did invite a band to entertain. Although it was not the skeleton dance group as everyone suspected, it was better than nothing.

Dudley planned to take a quick shower, but just when he took off his clothes and turned on the faucet, suddenly the hairs on his back stood up one by one like a hedgehog, and a bone-chilling breath silently came from not far away.

"Wtf!" Dudley's mentality almost collapsed. He suddenly realized that he had been ignoring one big thing, that is - he was the purest "Mudblood" in the entire castle!

The first victim in the novel is Filch's cat, but as the weapon used by Salazar Slytherin to bloodyly massacre "Mudbloods" and half-blood wizards, why would the Basilisk specifically attack a cat? The most likely possibility is that it was heading for a human target, but failed to successfully attack and accidentally bumped into Mrs. Norris.

There were many Mudbloods in the castle, but at this time some of them had gone to Hogsmeade, some were in the crowded auditorium, and Hermione had gone to the Ghost Party. After all, she became the best target.

Dudley was so nervous that his muscles were stiff. He didn't even notice that the water in the faucet was slightly hot. He closed his eyes tightly and didn't dare to look back.

He didn't know how far away the basilisk was from him. The snake's movements were always secretive and silent. The distance from the door of the boys' bathroom to him suddenly appeared in his mind. He folded his arms in front of his chest and silently transformed into Since the double-barreled shotgun is a pneumatic shotgun, you don’t have to worry about the bath water splashing in will affect the performance of the gun.

He swallowed, and the cold breath behind him became stronger and stronger. It seemed that a huge creature was slowly approaching, but he did not dare to look back. He did not have the halo of the protagonist, and the basilisk only needed a look to kill him.

He only had one chance. The moment the basilisk opened its mouth, he had to turn around and spray the enchanted +2 shotgun into the basilisk's mouth. He had to close his eyes and spray blindly the whole time. It was as difficult as a goalkeeper shooting a big shot in his own penalty area.

At this moment, the hot water that was being sprayed seemed to have no sound. He could only hear his own heartbeat "plop-plop" like a drumstick hitting the bass drum hard, which made his head buzz.

Suddenly, a voice came from the corridor outside the bathroom: "Dudley! Are you in there?"

At this moment, the aura that made Dudley's hair stand on end suddenly disappeared, like a gust of wind blowing by, disappearing in an instant.

"Dudley! Are you taking a shower? Professor Sprout asked me to come to you!" The voice came to the door of the bathroom. Dudley had already recognized that it was his roommate Biro. He did not go to Hog with other classmates. Maude went crazy, but stayed to help Professor Sprout pick the "energizing" herbs.

Dudley took a deep breath. Although it was less than ten seconds just now, it was really the ten seconds that he was least sure of. If he turned around and missed a shot, he might be separated forever.

He turned around and responded, "It'll be ready soon! I'll be right there!"

He put away the double-barreled shotgun and wiped his hair with a towel, just in time to see Biro walking in wearing a funny red and yellow Halloween costume. Biro said in surprise: "Dudley! You have lost a lot of weight!"

Dudley, however, stared at the floor of the bathroom. There was no trace of anything, as if it was all his imagination.

But of course Biro didn't see any monsters. The distance from the corridor to the shower room was only a few dozen meters. The basilisk's tail was even longer than that. If the basilisk really came out, there would be no trace. Could it be that it was seen from a distance? Just took one look and left?

Full of doubts, Dudley followed Biro back to the auditorium. At this time, the children were singing unknown funny songs along with the band. The auditorium had been made into a mess by all kinds of weird prank props. Several house elves were standing there. There was a sad face in a corner of the auditorium.

"I hope there are still roast chickens that haven't been put with disgusting things..." Biro muttered, quickening his pace, trying to find something to eat from the mess.

Dudley finally found Ginny from the crowd. She had no expression on her face and seemed to have just come back from outside. She was sitting in front of the long Gryffindor table in a daze. Dudley found an opportunity to walk around her. My hands were empty and I didn't bring my diary with me.

Dudley frowned, not knowing how to break the situation.
