Chapter 9 9. Meow Meow Meow Meow (please vote for new book issue)

It has a boxy shape, a furry cover, four big, round, bright yellow eyes, and a row of sharp teeth with exposed gums.

It's more like some kind of monster than a book.

But Dudley recognized it as a book at a glance.

Because its body is engraved with several eye-catching large golden fonts - 'The Monster Book of Monsters'.

Although he had known that Harry Potter had magical powers for a long time, and he had longed for that magical world, this was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, or in other words, this was the first time Dudley had been exposed to it since he came to this world.

to things related to magic.

If Shinji Matou's magician physique counts, this is the second time.

Just when Dudley was in a daze, the strange book seemed to have discovered Dudley, gave up chasing the cats, and turned around and rushed towards Dudley with its fangs bared.

When Xueer saw this, the hair all over her body exploded, and her whole body became fluffy. She breathed at the strange book and let out a high-pitched scream.

It's warning against strange books.

Unfortunately, Xue'er's threat was of no use, and the strange book continued to rush towards Dudley quickly.

Xue'er was very afraid of the strange book, but she still stayed at Dudley's feet, and stretched out her sharp claws hidden under the flesh pad, planning to fight to the death.

"Hey, how do I deal with this thing? Cast a spell? But I don't know how."

Dudley tried to find a solution to the problem, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a cat lying motionless on the ground.

It's the fourth cat, Kick.

Is Kick injured or dead?

No matter what, it must have been this strange book.

Dudley already liked cats, and after getting along with them during this time, he became even more fond of the four cats.

Anger welled up in his heart.

"Forget it, let's use my own method." As he said that, Dudley rolled up his sleeves.

Looking at the strange book that was gradually approaching, he stepped forward and shook his fist suddenly.

Hitting the strange book with lightning speed and incomparable accuracy.

There was a dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. The movement was like a strong man hitting the ground with a hammer, causing the whole room to tremble slightly.

Then the world became quiet.

It was just such a punch that Dudley instantly killed the guy who claimed to be the strongest high school boxing champion in England.

Dudley slowly withdrew his fist against the cover of the strange book, and the strange book lay quietly on the spot without any movement.

"Let me take a look at another one?" Dudley held the spine of the strange book with one hand and shook it.

At this time, the strange book had become very soft and soft, with two ribbon-like tongues sticking out of its mouth.

If that's really a tongue.

'You won't be punched to death by yourself, will you?'

Dudley couldn't help but think that the strange book was motionless.

'I remember I collected the three-point force.'

'How should I compensate if this thing really dies?'

Just as Dudley was thinking wildly, a cry of surprise sounded outside the door.

"Oh, my Merlin, what on earth is going on?"

Mrs. Figg, who was still holding a vegetable basket in her hand, ran in in a panic. Looking at the messy room as if a thief had entered, her expression changed slightly and she asked Dudley.

"Little Dudley, what happened?"

The doubt in his tone was more of a question.

To be honest, Mrs. Figg's attitude is already very good.

Just imagine, if you agreed to help your neighbor take care of their children, and even trusted him enough to give him the key to your own door, but one day when you came home, you found that he was in the room that you had specially locked.

Still a mess.

It's you, what would you think?

At the very least, Vernon wouldn't be so calm.

"Mrs. Figg, I thought there was a thief in the house." Dudley shook the strange book in his hand: "This guy killed Kick Kick."

Mrs. Figg pointed doubtfully at a cat that happened to be passing by and said, "Isn't Tikki good at that?"

In fact, when she saw the 'Monster Book of Monsters' in Dudley's hand, her pupils shrank slightly and her heartbeat accelerated a few minutes.

'Gan, Qiqi was just pretending to be dead.'

Just when Dudley was at a loss and didn't know how to organize a verbal explanation, Cher ran to Mrs. Figg's feet with light steps.

"Mimi meow (first tone) meow meow meow (first tone) mia mia miao miao (second tone)."

This was a tone that Dudley had never heard before, and he didn't even know that cats could produce such a variety of tones.

A magical scene happened again.

"So that's it, Cher." Along with Cher's meowing, Mrs. Figg nodded to Cher from time to time, as if she understood.

He turned his head and said to Dudley with an apologetic look: "Sorry, kid. I wronged you. Thank you for helping them."

Dudley doesn't mind if he apologizes or not, the point is

'Can Mrs. Figg understand what Cher is saying?'

'Do you understand cat language?'

'Is Mrs. Figg a wizard?'

Dudley's eyes shone, and then he took a deep breath, trying to calm down his excitement.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, and at the same time he showed a hesitant and curious expression: "Mrs. Figg, are you and Harry the same person?"

"My parents always called Harry the monster boy. Sometimes he can do a lot of things that ordinary people can't."

"I've heard them privately call this magic."

Dudley's words were beyond Mrs. Figg's expectations. Thinking about it, she felt relieved. Growing up with a born wizard, she must have seen more than one unexplainable magical phenomenon. Magical riots are something every little wizard will experience.

, not to mention Dudley is a clever child.

Mrs. Figg thought for a moment and then said, "You are very smart, child."

"Is there really magic?"

"Then can you teach me? I also want to learn magic."

Dudley behaves like a child who has just learned that there is magic in the world, full of desire and curiosity for unknown things.

"I'm sorry, kid. I can't do it."

Mrs. Figg shook her head regretfully: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. You will know sooner or later anyway. After all, you are the child's brother."

Mrs. Figg took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "I am the same as Harry, but different."

For the first time, someone told Dudley about the magic of this world. With Mrs. Figg's narration, information about the magical world that was originally unavailable gradually appeared before Dudley's eyes.

A fascinating and magical world.

In the world of Harry Potter, people can be roughly divided into three types: wizards, Muggles and squibs.

Needless to say, wizards are spellcasters and wizards. The famous Harry Potter is this type of person.

Muggles are those who have no connection with magic, and the original Dudley Dursley was such a person.

As for a squib, that is a person who was born into a wizarding family but cannot learn magic. Mrs. Figg is a squib, which is a type of person different from wizards and Muggles.

But unlike real Muggles, they cannot cast spells, but they have some special features compared with ordinary Muggles.

Mrs. Figg's ability to communicate with cats is one of them, an ability that some wizards do not possess.

PS: It’s true that Mrs. Figg is a squib, but squibs in this world are not equal to Muggles. Compared to Muggles, they still have many magical abilities, but they can’t release magic.

For example, Muggles cannot see dementors, but Mrs. Figg can. In the original setting, Mrs. Figg is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and it is said that she keeps cats so that they can serve as spies.
