Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 92, Section 90: Muscles, but More Than Just Muscles

Dumbledore's conditions are too harsh; it makes no sense to accept them or not, so it's better to just not accept them at all.

When negotiating terms, the most important thing is to take the initiative.

Don't forget, in the world of ordinary people, Dali runs a company, and he started from scratch. The wealth he has accumulated is unimaginable for ordinary people even in ten lifetimes.

He has muscles, but he's not just muscles.

Dudley's move took Dumbledore by surprise.

Dumbledore saw ambition in Dudley's eyes, but Dudley had more than just ambition.

Dudley's disciplinary team's advice is to prevent problems before they arise and to ensure a peaceful campus life. If you restrict him too much, he'd rather not have it at all.

In any case, as long as you have enough strength, you can achieve your goal.

After his Ripple Qi Gong reached LV2, Dalli felt this even more strongly.

Power is a way to live a comfortable life, but it is not a necessity.

From beginning to end, Dali only cared about his own strength.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

"If the professor only came to talk to me about this, I think we can end it here."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest now."

Dudley didn't give Dumbledore a chance to speak, and yawned as he turned and walked toward the door.

You can't play by the rules when talking to this kind of old fox.

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Your next sentence is..."

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do, Dudley?"

Dumbledore's voice came from behind.

In fact, if Dumbledore hadn't called Dudley back, he really would have left.

Anyway, he's already doing these things, but he just hasn't received official recognition.

Isn't that what the daily morning muscle training team is all about?

Dudley turned around and slowly walked back: "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. This is just my idea. It will take some time to actually implement it."

"However, Professor, we can do some preliminary preparations first."

"What?" Dumbledore had long since stopped regarding Dudley as a junior wizard.

They're unbelievably mature.

"Develop suitable members."

Dali held up one finger and said, "I can't do it by myself."

"An individual's strength is always limited."

Even if it were possible, it wouldn't be feasible; Dali doesn't have the time or energy to focus entirely on this.

He only needs to grasp the overall direction.

"I need a helper, a good enough helper."

"I'm part of the discipline team; it can't be just me."

Dali spoke eloquently.

"Then Dudley," Dumbledore said, pausing, "tell me, which members have you chosen?"

It's so convenient to talk to smart people; they understand everything immediately.

Hermione, Harry, Ron, Neville, Malfoy

Dumbledore wasn't surprised at all by the names Dudley mentioned.

After all, Dudley never hid the fact that he trained with them.

"And there's Cedric from Hufflepuff in third year, Percy from Gryffindor in fifth year, Elizabeth from Ravenclaw in fifth year, and Carol from Slytherin in seventh year."

The last few were almost all the best students from each of Hogwarts' houses.

"Of course, Professor Dumbledore is speaking too soon, but Mr. Carroll is graduating this year."

"But I think we can give the top five players some proper training."

"For example, adding extra classes on weekends or something."

Dumbledore said, "Dudley, you are your purpose."

"You have to start raising kids from a young age. I'm doing this for Hogwarts, Professor."

Dudley blinked at Dumbledore, just as he had done to him before.

"It seems I'll have to trouble you professors." Dumbledore sighed. "I hope they won't mind; there's no overtime pay."

Without paying anything, he got the opportunity to receive individual lectures from professors for free.

"Do you have any other requests?"

Previously, it was Dumbledore making demands of Dudley, but now the roles have been reversed.

"We'll use the remaining two semesters of this year to prepare. We'll give you a test before the end of the semester, and if you pass, the discipline team will be established at the end of the first year."

"But the disciplinary team's jurisdiction is not limited to the first year; I need to include grades one through three, and for each year of advancement, I need to include the next grade as well."

"In other words, if I advance to the fifth year, then all four houses of Hogwarts, from the first to the seventh year, will be under the jurisdiction of the Discipline Group."

"You really dare to say that, Dudley."

After a moment's thought, Dumbledore spoke, not immediately denying it, which meant...

They accepted Dali's suggestion.

"I hope I don't get a bunch of yelling emails."

"If you really care about Hogwarts, it has to change, or it will fall behind the times."

Dudley said slowly and deliberately, "But I still maintain that keeping four colleges is unnecessary. If everything were unified and overseen by the disciplinary committee, I guarantee it would be much better than the current situation."

"I can't do it, Dudley. Even if I were the headmaster, one of the provisions of Hogwarts is that there must be four houses."

"By the way, there's something I need to clarify beforehand: I can't grant you the power to punish professors unless you can obtain higher authority at Hogwarts, perhaps by trying to become the heir to one of the four houses?"

At this point, Dumbledore pulled out a licorice candy from somewhere, put it in his mouth, and savored it with a look of enjoyment: "That way, after you graduate, you can consider staying at Hogwarts and integrating Hogwarts according to your ideas. I'm old now and it's time for me to retire. The future belongs to you young people."

"You are still very young, only a little over a hundred years old, Professor."

"I hope you'll still be the headmaster of Hogwarts when my children start school."

Dudley declined in a very tactful way.

He could sense a strange sadness in Dumbledore's voice when he mentioned old age and retirement.

Dumbledore looked at Dudley with a hint of helplessness: "Being over a hundred years old can hardly be considered young, Dudley."

"Compared to your friend, the master Nicolas Flamel, you are still just a child."

Nicolas Flamel, the most outstanding alchemist in the wizarding world, without exception. He is a legendary wizard who lived for over six hundred years and cannot be found in modern wizarding halls of fame.

Dumbledore:

After exchanging a few casual words, Dali left.

Dumbledore stared at the slightly deformed chair opposite him, lost in thought. Had his Transfiguration skills regressed?

Not long after, Harry, wearing an invisibility cloak, also entered the room.

It seems that Dudley controlled the entire conversation, but how can we be sure that Dumbledore did it on purpose?

Dudley, who had thoroughly researched all of Dumbledore's deeds, simply did not believe that Dumbledore would not take the initiative in the conversation.

On the surface, Dudley found an opportunity to learn from Professor White, but wasn't Dumbledore also finding a free laborer for Hogwarts?

Sometimes the truth doesn't matter.
