Chapter 374 Farewell to the Longbottom Family! The Fusion Ability of the Knowledge Collection Encycl
Having cured the Longbottoms and received the system reward, Dudley naturally saw no need to stay any longer and become an eyesore.
So he stepped out of the ward, intending to find a secluded corner and teleport home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the ward, I encountered an old witch wearing a long dress, carrying a large red handbag, walking briskly and quickly.
"Crying and sobbing again? Neville, there are no weaklings in the Longbottom family. No crying allowed!"
The person hadn't arrived yet, but their voice had already reached them.
The old witch, whose real name was Augusta Longbottom and who was being visited by Dudley, scolded Neville for his faint sobs even before she reached the ward.
They stopped talking and walking when they bumped into Dali, a relatively unfamiliar person.
“You are… Dursley’s teaching assistant?” Grandma Neville recognized Dudley.
Dudley is now a celebrity in the British wizarding world, and his photos have been circulating in newspapers for some time, so it's not surprising that he's recognized.
"Um...it's me. You must be Neville's grandmother, Mrs. Augusta? I heard Neville talk about her at school. He said she was brave and strong, and seeing her today, I can confirm it."
Dali made a few unusual polite remarks.
The main problem was that he didn't know how to talk to a fierce old witch whose hat was decorated with a vulture specimen, especially since this old witch was from the White Wizard faction and was also his friend's grandmother.
In addition, Dudley recalled some of the original story's descriptions of Grandma Neville, as well as some small details he had witnessed at school.
This is a tough, strong-willed old witch who knows nothing of gentleness.
Back when I was studying at Hogwarts, I achieved a remarkable result: failing Charms in my fifth-year OWL exams.
From then on, he looked down on Charms class and developed a prejudice against it.
No wonder the Oblivion Curse she cast on Neville caused him such obvious aftereffects.
Besides casting spells too many times, poor spellcasting skills are certainly one of the reasons.
But she herself was completely unaware of this.
Even though it was she who cast the forgetfulness spell that made Neville dull and forgetful, she still frequently sent Neville yelling letters over the past school year, scolding him for his bad memory.
Of course, she was all bark and no bite; she actually cared deeply for Neville.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have cast the Oblivion Curse on Neville to prevent him from growing up amidst the pain of his parents' madness.
Neville's perception of his grandmother is one of both love and reverence, which aligns with Dudley's fabricated polite remarks.
Poor spellcasting skills do not mean that Grandma Neville is weak.
On the contrary, Grandma Neville's magical skills were quite good. As the saying goes, great strength makes bricks fly. If you lack skill, you can make up for it with the intensity and efficiency of your magic.
In the original story, an old player who failed the Charms course in the OWLs exam was able to beat an excellent Auror who passed the NEWTs exam with straight A's, leaving him seriously injured and hospitalized.
The reason is here.
The contestant who helped vindicate Neville's grandmother was named John Dexter, an Auror of the British Ministry of Magic. In the original story, he worked for the Ministry of Magic after Voldemort's second rise to power; he was not a Death Eater, but he was more like one.
Back to topic.
Dudley snapped out of his reverie; his polite words had indeed flattered Grandma Neville.
Augusta Longbottom loved it when people praised her and the Longbottom family for their bravery.
He immediately smiled, wanting to have a good chat with Dali.
Unexpectedly, two very familiar yet slightly different faces appeared behind Dali, at the door of ward 49.
Those were her son and daughter-in-law.
Their eyes were clear, their complexions were good, and their son and daughter-in-law looked very different from before.
“Frank, Alice, you…” Augusta exclaimed in surprise.
“Mother, we’ve recovered!” the two responded immediately.
"Grandma, we should thank Daddy. It was Daddy who cured Daddy and Mommy."
Neville squeezed his head out from between his parents and told his family the truth.
Upon hearing this, the Longbottom family members turned their attention to Dudley, and were moved to express their gratitude to him.
Dudley didn't want to deal with this situation, so he quickly cast a calming spell on everyone and then instantly teleported three or four meters away.
"No need for thanks. This is the good ending that a brave white wizard deserves. If you really want to thank me, then join me in continuing to work for the development of Hogwarts and the stability of the wizarding world!"
Dudley quickly said to the Longbottoms, "By the way, Madam Augusta, Neville is no longer dull and forgetful. The Hogwarts professors cured him. You must not cast the Forgetfulness Charm on Neville again."
I won't disturb your family reunion any longer. Goodbye!
After saying that, without waiting for a response, Dudley activated his ultimate teleportation ability and disappeared into the fifth-floor corridor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.
The Longbottom family was left looking at each other in bewilderment.
The details of how Neville and Augusta later interpreted Dudley's hint within the family are unnecessary to elaborate on.
After returning to his bedroom, Dali glanced at the system panel, temporarily put aside all his distracting thoughts, lay down on his bed, and had a good night's sleep.
The next morning.
After Dudley finished washing and cleaning himself with magic, he sat in a chair in his bedroom and sent a command to the system using his mind:
"I will combine six S-level fusion opportunities into two SS-level fusion opportunities to fuse the Knowledge Collection Treasure Book and the Myriad Soul Banner in my personal space!"
[Command executed! Consumes 6 S-rank magic item fusion attempts.]
[Current remaining fusion opportunities: 6 times for Grade A, 6 times for Grade B, and 3 times for Grade C.]
A system notification sounded in my mind.
At the same time, in the vast personal space, within the treasure storage area, an ancient and heavy metal-covered book and a brand-new banner embroidered with a blue-faced, fanged demon king vanished in the form of invisible fluctuations.
It is integrated with Dali.
