Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 428, 422. Dudley, do you know about the Three Holy Relics of the Death?

Draco's hopes of staying in a tent were dashed. The dormitories that Karkaroff arranged for the group were generally quite nice. The six rooms in the same corridor were quite luxurious and were definitely some of the best rooms in Durmstrang.

During the dinner, Karkarov solemnly introduced the six members of the Dali group to all the teachers and students.

The sensation they caused was far greater than when Durmstrang's students went to Hogwarts.

Don't forget, Dudley and Harry defeated Viktor in the Triwizard Tournament and won the championship.

Furthermore, Durmstrang's emphasis on physical exercise is more pronounced than that of other schools.

After seeing the exaggerated physiques of Dali and his companions, there's no need to elaborate further.

Thus, the six members of the disciplinary team became Durmstrang's focus.

Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not divided into four houses like Hogwarts, or rather, among all the magic schools in the world, there is no other school divided into four houses like Hogwarts. It is unique.

The incidents depicted in the novel, where students cause trouble and provoke others, did not occur.

This left Draco slightly disappointed, as he had recently become engrossed in various fantasy novels and had been hoping for a plot where he would play dumb to outwit his opponent and defeat them.

Everyone's not stupid. Headmaster Karkaroff made it very clear when introducing these students that they were outstanding students from Hogwarts who had even impressed Viktor. Everyone had witnessed how much Viktor was favored by Karkaroff; he was practically treated like a "son of his own." The only person Karkaroff would praise so highly was his "father."

Incidentally, the fact that Viktor himself not only wasn't annoyed by this statement, but actually seemed quite honored further illustrates the point.

The school's best star student, Viktor, was defeated. Are they going up there to humiliate themselves?

As for a professor, that's even more impossible.

Judging from Karkaroff's attitude towards them, no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble for someone even their principal has to fawn over.

Perhaps there were such people in the past, but when Karkarov was in power, he used various pretexts to eliminate dissidents and dismiss them.

Especially after Harry showed off his skills in the first Dark Arts class, the students only had admiration for Dudley and his friends.

The next morning, Harry experienced the same treatment Dudley usually received in Slytherin.

Good morning, Mr. Potter.

"Mr. Potter, have you eaten? If not, come and have some here."

"Mr. Potter, please sit here. I have plenty of room."

"Mr. Potter, would you like some tripe soup or meat patties?"

They were so respectful that even Harry felt embarrassed.

Due to its academic atmosphere, Durmstrang University values ​​strength more than other schools and reveres powerful dark magic.

Of course, this is only in theory. After all, decades ago, a very outstanding student was expelled for conducting an overly dangerous black magic experiment.

It seems like black magic is open, but it also seems like it isn't.

The next day, around noon, Neville, led by Professor Durmstrang's Herbalism, successfully went to Durmstrang's greenhouse, while Ron and Harry went to explore the ghost ship. As for why they went there in the middle of the day, the reason was: they were afraid of ghosts. Draco chose to take a nap on his warm, soft bed with a goose down comforter in his dormitory, while Dudley and Hermione, unsurprisingly, went to the library.

Unlike the Hogwarts Library, which is located directly inside the castle, Durmstrang's Library is situated in a separate lookout tower outside the castle.

Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is several centuries younger than Hogwarts, but its library is no less extensive, containing at least tens of thousands of books (at least half of which can be found in other bookstores such as Flourish and Blotts).

The entire library is arranged in a spiral, with the content of the books becoming shallower the closer they are to the ground and deeper the content the higher up they are.

There were countless books on dark magic, and Dudley even found books on Fiendfyre that were not available in the Forbidden Books at Hogwarts. Perhaps out of concern that young wizards might not be able to handle them, most of them were placed near the top floor, and like the Forbidden Books at Hogwarts, one needed permission to enter.

Holding the approval slip from Headmaster Karkaroff, Dudley and Hermione casually made their way to the top of the tower.

Durmstrang was founded in 1294 by the legendary Bulgarian witch Nerida Vokanova.

Hermione held a book and quietly read its contents aloud. The book was called... uh... "A History of Durmstrang." She wondered what the author of this book had to do with the author of "A History of Hogwarts."

Or is it that these magic schools all like to introduce themselves in this way?

Hermione finished the book in no time; her reading ability was getting better and better.

"I've discovered a problem, Dudley."

Seeing Dudley looking at her, Hermione continued, "Although Durmstrang was founded by Ms. Vocanova, it was not she who made it great. It was the second headmaster, Harfon Mount, who brought it to its former glory."

"The death of this first principal was very mysterious. There is no record of it in the books at all."

Hermione whispered.

Since they were in a library, it wasn't appropriate for them to speak loudly, even if no one was around.

This is basic etiquette.

Unfortunately, Dudley wasn't interested in the death of Durmstrang's first headmaster. He gave a perfunctory reply and continued to concentrate on his book. Before long, he had finished reading a book called "Detailed Explanation of the Fiend Curse." Although most of the content was nonsense, there were at least three or four hundred words of useful information.

After putting the books back on the shelf, they discovered that Hermione was still researching the matter of the first headmaster.

"I've seen words like 'great,' 'mysterious,' and 'powerful' used to describe Nerida Vokanova in at least ten books, but none of them specifically describe what makes her great, mysterious, or powerful."

Hermione can sometimes get stuck on things, like now.

"Perhaps it's just out of respect for the original."

Dudley casually remarked that he wasn't particularly interested in anything non-magical, and he wouldn't actively seek out information unless absolutely necessary.

After a while, seeing that Hermione was not making any noise, Dudley turned around to see what she was doing, only to find that Hermione was also looking at him.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and then Hermione blushed and subconsciously looked away.

Dudley was about to tease Hermione, but Hermione's next words made him pause slightly.

"Dullie, do you know about the Deathly Hallows?"
