Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 301 Harry's Curse

The unfamiliar name of Tom Riddle and his book, which many wizards consider to be nonsense, should have caused protests from many young wizards and their parents.

But perhaps even Rita Skeeter did not expect that her report would be followed by the photos that Riddle inadvertently revealed.

Everything has changed.

The purebloods who were ready to protest and ban "Magic in the Muggle World" inexplicably shut their mouths.

On the contrary, they went out of their way to recommend the book.

Dumbledore's fans also supported Riddle because of Dumbledore's stance.

Some onlookers were particularly supportive because of the handsome photo of Riddle and his affair with Dumbledore.

Now, after Riddle officially appeared in Hogwarts, the young wizards discovered that he was even more charming in person than in the photo.

This, then, makes Lisa Dupin’s words particularly powerful.

Even Harry, who was next to Ron, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

What surprised Harry was that Ron seemed to be in high spirits under the gaze of so many people.

Instead, he became calmer, "Professor Riddle? Well, I'm not talking about him."

"Professor Lupin is a friend of Harry's father, and we all know he's very capable!"

"You know, he used to be a Gryffindor prefect." Ron spoke more and more calmly, and even took a sip of pumpkin juice, as if the person he was talking about was really not Riddle.

Ron's place immediately became quiet, and Lisa Dupin smacked her lips in regret.

Ron actually felt a little unsatisfied.

However, the news that Lupin was a Gryffindor prefect also made Dean turn his head, "He's from Gryffindor? And a prefect!"

"Fortunately, there is still someone reliable."

"I know why there are two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors!"

"Professor Lupin must be filling in for Professor Riddle!"

"Professor Lupin might have been the one teaching what we are learning, and Professor Riddle is just here to get the title."

"Because I think Professor Riddle must be Dumbledore's son! He just bought a wand some time ago. In my opinion, he probably grew up in the Muggle world." Dean whispered, fearing that the little witches who liked Riddle would hear it.

Seamus also stretched his ears, but because of the small quarrel he had with Ron before, he didn't say anything.

"Well, maybe." Ron suppressed a laugh and nodded at Harry.

Obviously, Ron felt secretly happy knowing important news that others didn't know.

But Harry felt that if Ron was replaced by Dean, the story he came up with would probably be even more outrageous.

For some reason, Harry still wanted to punch Ron in the eye.

"How could I be like this?"

"Dudley must have led me astray," thought Harry.

He looked towards the Hufflepuff table and his cousin Dudley, whom he hadn't seen for months.

"Merlin's beard!" exclaimed Harry.

"what happened?"

"Harry, are you okay?"

"What happened?" Ron, Ginny and Dean couldn't help asking.

The others also looked towards Harry curiously.

"Look at Dudley! — my cousin!" said Harry.

He pointed tremblingly at a sturdy figure not far away, but that figure had nothing to do with obesity.

"Did he drink some kind of weight-loss potion?" Ron was shocked and a little suspicious.

Because as far as he knew there was no such potion.

Moreover, Dudley had become angular at this moment, looking like a tough guy.

If Dudley was like a fat pig before, he is now like a lean bull.

"Harry, you didn't put a curse on him during the summer vacation," Dean said suspiciously.

He didn't know that Harry was spending the summer with Draco and the others.

He mistakenly thought that Harry had cast some vicious curse on him in order to take revenge on his cousin.

A double whammy makes Dudley handsome.

But the next second, Dean denied his thoughts, "No, if that's the case, Harry, you shouldn't be surprised."

"Harry spent the summer with us." Ron said, still thinking, wondering if there was such a potion. "So, the curse took effect? ​​And it had an unusual effect on Dudley?" Dean confirmed his thoughts.

"It's not a curse!" Harry denied.

He began to doubt whether he had been right in thinking that Dean was more reliable than Ron.

And in Dean's eyes, Harry's behavior clearly showed that he was guilty.

As Harry's friend, he knew what a disgusting family Dudley and Harry's aunt and uncle were.

If it were him, he would also curse and take revenge.

As for why it was not discovered by the Ministry of Magic?
Are you kidding me?
That's Harry Potter!
The savior who defeated Voldemort!
Harry must have magic beyond anyone's imagination.

"Harry~! Great, you actually hid it from me."

"It seems that your curse should not be used on fat people." Now even Ron thought so.

"Hey! We can let Sirius publish your curse in the Daily Prophet, with the title - Fatty Gospel, the Wonderful Magic of the Savior Potter!"

"Coupled with photos of Dudley last year and now!"

"And he's a celebrity - although not as famous as you and me, he's been in the Daily Prophet before, and his photo was on it!"

"How many gold Galleons can we make this way!" Ron said excitedly.

A business empire has been built in his mind.

Ginny covered her forehead again, feeling sorry for having such a brother.

"We?" Harry was too surprised to think of anything else.

He never expected that Ron would come up with another money-making idea based on his random thoughts.

"Yes!"

"Let me take care of your advertising slogans, business planning, and sales! And Fred and George have always wanted to open their own store, so they must have some good ideas."

"This won't hold you back. After all, you are the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. We still have to select new players this year!"

"You know, Captain Johnny, Dennis, Woody, and Arrow have all graduated, leaving the batsman and wicketkeeper positions vacant."

Ron frowned worriedly, "Wait, Harry, let's not talk about the team first. You're not going to do this business alone without me, are you?"

"I told you, I didn't cast any curse!" Harry said word by word.

Just when Harry was about to go crazy, the plates on the table became clean and shiny again.

This meant the meal was over, and Dumbledore stood up again. "Well! Now we are all full and well, and I have said what I was going to say before the sorting. Well, it is getting late now, and it is very important that you go to class tomorrow morning refreshed and clear-headed. Go to bed! Quickly!"
