Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 162, Question 160: Does this count as Voldemort's female attire?

A huge snake head slowly emerged from the water, its large, clear yellow eyes fixed on Dali's back, silently approaching.

Less than two meters from Dudley's back, it opened its blood-red maw, its two venomous fangs reflecting a chilling light.

The snake's head suddenly attacked.

Unfortunately, we came up empty-handed.

Almost at the instant the snake's head attacked, Dali dodged, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

The basilisk shook its head, seemingly dissatisfied with the effect of the attack, and turned to charge at Dudley once more.

If eye contact is required for the eyes to be lethal, then simply avoiding eye contact is sufficient.

Dudley reached around his waist, grabbed several potions, and threw them forcefully. The yellow potions spread out and instantly enveloped the basilisk's body.

Unfortunately, the basilisk has exceptionally high magic resistance, and it only slowed down slightly before returning to normal.

Theoretically, the basilisk's skin is even stronger than a dragon's.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dudley pulled out a ball from his waist: "Here we go."

The red and white ball opened, and countless roosters fluttered out of it in a panic.

The chickens flew around in a flurry, crowing loudly.

After hearing the roosters crow, the basilisk looked slightly pained. It lashed out with its thick tail at the roosters, killing them all in a few swift movements.

The rooster proved ineffective.

This was exactly what Dudley had expected. In a flash, he appeared at the basilisk's tail and grabbed it.

Besides striking its vital spot, another way to subdue snakes is to grab their tails and shake them vigorously three times.

It is said that this can shake all the snake's bones apart, thus subduing the snake.

However, this is only in theory; in practice, it is extremely difficult.

It requires immense strength and specialized skills.

However, Dudley has no shortage of strength, and he also has the LV2 Dislocation Hand technique that he just drew.

This skill is said to be able to dismember anything that has bones, and dismemberment is exactly what reptiles like snakes fear most.

Dudley gripped the basilisk's tail tightly, concentrating his strength in his arms, and pinched one of the bones in the basilisk's tail firmly. Then, in a strange posture, he swung it forcefully, followed by another jolt. He swung it forcefully again, and there was another jolt.

After several such exchanges, the basilisk, which had been struggling violently, shuddered and collapsed limply to the ground.

The bones in his body were shattered.

Without the support of bones, it is impossible to move by relying solely on muscles.

The poor basilisk was subdued by Dudley in a flash before it could even unleash the full power of its Death Perception.

Is it that simple?

The thousand-year-old serpent monster had it too easy, didn't it?

"Wait a minute." Dudley seemed to have discovered the key to the problem.

It was indeed a basilisk, but its size seemed off; it was far too small compared to the snakeskin that Dudley had taken.

Is it

*Clap clap clap*

A crisp clapping sound was accompanied by a male voice.

"As expected of the most outstanding student at Hogwarts, even I am not as strong as you at your age."

"That's right, as you can see, that's another basilisk."

"It's one I recently bred."

The reason why Hagrid's rooster went missing instead of being killed has been found.

The surrounding air distorted, and a figure slowly emerged—it was Audrey, who had been missing for a long time.

She was wearing a sparkling crown on her head.

That was Ravenclaw's crown, or rather, another Horcrux of Voldemort's.

At this moment, although she was clearly in female form, her voice was male, giving her an eerie, neither-nor-feminine nor-male feeling.

But that's not all; Audrey's pimple-covered face seemed to be shrouded in another shadow, a shadow of masculinity.

The two faces seemed to overlap, neither male nor female.

From the hazy shadows, one could vaguely make out that it was a handsome man.

That must have been what Voldemort looked like when he was making Horcruxes.

When his gaze swept over the dress on the other person, a strange thought suddenly popped into Dali's mind.

Does this count as Voldemort in drag?

Thinking this, Dudley suddenly pulled out a somewhat old-looking machine and started snapping away at Audrey (Voldemort).

"What are you doing?"

Audrey (Voldemort) was puzzled, since such a machine didn't exist in his time.

"It's nothing."

He was taking pictures; a cross-dressing Voldemort would have to take some photos to commemorate the moment.

Dudley put the machine in his pocket and changed the subject: "It's just a trivial little gadget."

Dudley looked at the other person and said, "There's something I'm curious about."

"What?" Audrey (Voldemort) asked politely and patiently.

"Since you can ignore her thoughts and control her body, why don't you run away? If you're determined to hide, no one will be able to find you."

"Escape? Are you kidding me?" Audrey (Voldemort) spread one hand in front of her and retorted, "Why would I escape?"

"This is Hogwarts, full of professors with great magical powers."

Dudley said it was only natural.

"Just a few professors, not worth mentioning. The most annoying guy is no longer here."

Neither his tone nor his expression showed any respect for the professors.

But he certainly had the credentials, after all, he was the infamous Dark Lord Voldemort.

And the "most annoying fellow" he was referring to was none other than Dumbledore.

In Voldemort's eyes, in the entire Hogwarts, or rather the entire wizarding world, only Dumbledore was worthy of being his opponent.

In his eyes, neither the Aurors nor the so-called Ministry of Magic were worth mentioning.

This is Voldemort, the arrogant Dark Lord.

Even if it was just one of the Horcruxes in front of Dudley, its aura was already stronger than any professor Dudley had ever seen.

The original book doesn't mention when Ravenclaw's tiara was made into a Horcrux, but it was stored in the Room of Requirement. If it wasn't made during his time at Hogwarts, it was probably placed there when he was applying for a job at Hogwarts.

Tom's abilities at this time must have been primarily focused on his diary.

"Why did you specifically bring me here, senior?"

"It seems you know something. Well, that makes sense, after all, you're a Slytherin, and you can speak Parsley." Audrey (Voldemort) said very frankly, "I just want to meet you, to see how excellent the next generation of Slytherins after me are. During this time, you're the one I've heard the most about."

"Now that you've seen it, how do you feel?"

Dudley continued chatting, but remained highly vigilant.

This guy on the other side is much more dangerous than the serpent monster.

"It's better than I imagined."

Audrey (Voldemort) praised him lavishly, and then he said something that Dudley hadn't expected.

"How about it? Join me, become my subordinate, and I'll give you everything you want."

Voldemort extended an olive branch to Dudley.

What evil intentions could Batman possibly have?

Chen Tao never expected that not only had he transmigrated, but he had also transmigrated into Batman himself.

As everyone knows, Batman is incredibly intelligent, possesses exceptional wisdom, and has unparalleled fighting skills, but—what does all of this have to do with me, a time traveler?

Oh! It's okay, I can inherit Batman's powers and memories...?!? Wait, why are they all parallel universe versions?
