Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 52. I'll wait for you at your doorstep (Please vote with monthly tickets!! Double the votes!)

You can't.

Malfoy tried to stand up, but he couldn't; he felt his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He could hear his upper teeth hitting his lower teeth as he spoke, making a "clattering" sound.

"Oh? Why can't I?"

Dudley tapped the conference table in the room lightly with his fingers, each tap like a heavy hammer blow to Malfoy's heart, making him tremble involuntarily. Dudley stretched out his large, fan-like hand and said slowly, "You should know that you have offended me, and many times."

"I think I should have told you, I'm not a nice guy, Mr. Arrogant."

"The students outside will know that you took me away." For once, Malfoy's intelligence kicked in, and he shouted as if he had grasped a lifeline, "If you dare to hurt me, the professors will find out, and they will expel you."

Malfoy gets all worked up at the mention of being fired.

At that moment, it was as if I had found something to rely on. My teeth didn't chatter, my body didn't tremble, and I went for it in one breath.

"Mr. Malfoy," Dudley lowered his voice, interrupting Malfoy's reverie, a dangerous glint in his eyes, "Are you threatening me?"

Dudley's single glance deflated Malfoy's courage, making him deflate like a punctured balloon.

"What made you mistakenly believe that I care about whether I get fired?"

Does Dali care about being fired?

To be honest, he did care quite a bit; he had genuinely wanted to spend his years at Hogwarts peacefully.

But on what grounds did Malfoy fire himself?

Based on his suspected Viking lineage?

Or is it because of his father, who is a school board member?

Oh, if this happened anywhere else, having a school board member as a father would really allow one to do whatever they want.

Unfortunately, Hogwarts is not like some private schools, and the power of the board of trustees is not that great.

They can't even decide what to eat at Hogwarts for dinner.

Dudley had specifically researched this and was 100% certain that, just as the Sorting Hat said, he would make thorough preparations before doing anything.

This left Malfoy speechless. With his current brain capacity, he couldn't understand why any student council member wouldn't be afraid of being expelled.

The charm of the art of language lies in who holds the dominant position.

Whoever breaks the defense loses.

It's Dursley time.

Under Malfoy's horrified gaze, Dudley slowly uttered an address.

Wiltshire, England

That was his Malfoy home, the actual location of Malfoy Manor.

"How do you know?"

A sharp, crowing sound rang out, Malfoy's voice was distorted with fear, and his heart pounded loudly.

Dudley could hear it clearly even standing still.

How did Dudley know the Malfoys' address?

Good question. Blame Lucius.

This guy is usually too flashy, high-profile, and flamboyant. Moreover, he has never hidden the location of his home, nor has he ever cast a Faithful Charm. Many people in the wizarding world know about this place.

For example, Lucius's old nemesis, Arthur Weasley.

Even the Ministry of Magic would occasionally conduct surprise inspections of Malfoy Manor for dark magic items.

With Dudley's intelligence and the ability of his data vision, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deduce the exact location.

The problem was that Zhai Ge didn't know anything about these things. He was really frightened by Dali's remarks, and he felt extremely regretful.

What could be more intimidating than "I'll wait for you at your doorstep"?

At least for students, no.

By the way, Dudley recently discovered something interesting while researching the history of magic.

According to the Malfoy family's own records, their ancestor was Armand Malfoy in the 11th century, who founded the Malfoy family. The 11th century was from 1001 to 1100, nearly a thousand years ago.

At first glance, doesn't it sound like a prestigious family with a thousand-year history?

However, this claim is not accepted by the wizarding world. According to the history of magic, the Malfoy family first appeared in the 16th century, and the recorded founder of the family is Lucius Malfoy I.

There was a gap of six centuries between the 11th and 16th centuries.

What's even more interesting is that their own family has no records from before the 16th century. The only proof is a few sentences in the family books: Armand Malfoy founded the Malfoy family in the 11th century, and Nicholas Malfoy used the Black Death as a pretext to "eliminate" Muggle tenants in the 14th century and successfully escaped punishment from the Wizarding Council.

That's all.

There's not a single record left, as for evidence.

Sorry, don't ask.

The answer is no.

According to the history of magic, 990: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded; 1100: Merlin became King Arthur's court wizard; 1200: The Deathly Hallows were created.

Wow, the Malfoy family lived in the same era as Merlin, a hundred years before the Deathly Hallows appeared.

If Armand Malfoy had been born earlier, he might have witnessed the founding of Hogwarts.

The history of the Malfoy family is truly fascinating, as fascinating as the fossils of the English people.

"Oh, I heard you also have a nice white peacock, portraits on the walls, marble fireplaces and gilded mirrors, and luxurious carpets." Dudley stared at Malfoy's face based on the information he had gathered before, reconstructing the appearance of Malfoy Manor bit by bit, as if he were seeing it with his own eyes.

As Dudley recounted the information bit by bit, Malfoy felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly.

How could he possibly know? How could he possibly know?

At the same time, his intuition told him that if the other person really got fired, then what he said would definitely come true.

In fact, Dudley never went to Malfoy Manor, but most wealthy people decorate their homes like that.

"If I get fired, do you think I'll go to your house and chat with you?"

"Mr. Zackie, I don't think your father, Mr. Lucius, can protect you every moment."

"There will always be times when he's not around."

"Like this week? France is a pretty nice place."

Dudley's speech was now very slow, and as Dudley spoke, Malfoy's face grew paler and paler, as pale as paper.

Malfoy believed Dudley's words completely; his father had indeed gone to France that week.

Dudley used the simplest language to gradually break down Malfoy's psychological defenses.

Why would Dudley know so much? Well, someone as high-profile as Lucius always announces his big deeds in a grand way. This week's Daily Prophet published news of Lucius's trip to France.

Malfoy didn't have the habit of reading newspapers, or rather, young wizards rarely did.

Having made a small fortune from the wand business, Dahlk subscribed to wizarding publications such as the Daily Prophet every week.

Insight is also one of the essential elements to becoming a mage.

The important thing is that Malfoy believed it, wasn't it?

So, kids are really easy to fool.

Yesterday I updated a lot, but today I'm feeling weak... I can't keep up with the pace of updates anytime soon.
