Chapter 53: C-rank regret event completed! Fusion of a B-rank wand!

Dudley was someone who could take advice.

Since the System had spoken, he suppressed his curiosity about this unprecedented SSS-level regret event.

Although the other two Deathly Hallows, the Invisibility Cloak and the Elder Wand, were currently in Dumbledore's hands, it didn't seem too difficult for Dudley to get them and unlock the details of the regret event. However, he didn't ask Dumbledore for them for the time being.

The Invisibility Cloak was an inheritance from the Harry Potter family. Dumbledore would give it to Harry sooner or later, and what belonged to Harry would also be his eventually.

But things are different with the Elder Wand.

The current Dumbledore, though old, was full of energy and in excellent condition.

The Elder Wand, which could greatly enhance the power of spells, was still very useful in his hands, and he might not give it to Dudley.

Dudley has really scored big by having old Dumbledore running around to gather most of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Even if Dumbledore is a nice guy, if Dudley asks for such a powerful weapon, Dumbledore will surely start to be wary of him.

So, for the time being, Dudley decided to let it go.

An SS-level regret event had already stumped him and Dumbledore, and they didn't know when they could solve it.

Even a fool can tell how hard it will be to complete the SSS-level regret event, which the System had specifically emphasized as difficult.

He'd wait for the right moment when things developed naturally or when there was no other choice before unlocking it then!

Dudley made up his mind and put the matter aside.

He then put the Resurrection Stone and the Horcrux, Slytherin's locket, into his portable storage space. The other two Horcruxes, the banned diary and the Gaunt ring, were chained to his body and carried with him.

Apart from the three Horcruxes made from the lost treasures of the Hogwarts founders, Dudley plans to keep all the remaining Horcruxes with him, in case Voldemort's main soul isn't completely destroyed at this stage and can only be reborn in Harry, harming him.

On August 16th.

Dumbledore wrapped up the interviews of several candidate professors at Hogwarts.

Finally, he decided that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for the year 1991 would be the outstanding overseas - trained witch, Eris Hunter.

Of course, if this outstanding witch could survive Voldemort's curse in one piece for a year, she could continue to hold the position the next year.

On the same day, when Dumbledore came to the Dursleys' house for a lesson, he brought the diadem of Ravenclaw, which was hidden in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts, to Dudley.

Dudley put it into his portable storage space right in front of Dumbledore.

By now, among the Horcruxes that Voldemort had intentionally or unintentionally created as mentioned in the original story, only the big snake Nagini was left to be obtained.

According to the timeline of the original story, Voldemort wouldn't turn Nagini into a Horcrux until three years later.

That is, if nothing unexpected happened, at this current stage, all of Voldemort's Horcruxes were either in Dudley's hands or around him.

Dudley didn't tell Dumbledore this piece of news, which he didn't know if it was good or bad and if it was 100% accurate.

Instead, he let old Dumbledore stay on his toes and keep his guard up.

To this end, Dumbledore thoroughly shared all the information he knew about Voldemort with Dudley and analyzed Voldemort's background, past experiences, crazy personality, modus operandi, and life goals with him, hoping to uncover more of Voldemort's weaknesses and the locations of the unknown Horcruxes.

Of course, they couldn't figure out the locations of the unknown Horcruxes. However, Dudley did have some ideas about Voldemort's weaknesses, even the common weaknesses of most cruel Dark Wizards, and the countermeasures based on these weaknesses.

He happily shared these ideas with Dumbledore, and they came up with plans to implement them together.

In the following days, Dumbledore devoted more energy to teaching the Dursleys.

It has to be said that the Shield Charm and Disarming Charm were quite difficult for the Dursleys, who had the [bloodline of a weak wizard].

Meanwhile, Dudley, Harry, and Hagrid had already mastered these two spells very proficiently.

When Dumbledore was away, they would carry forward the spirit of "The more experienced help the less experienced" and patiently help the Dursleys with their studies.

Time passed like this.

On August 27th, Hagrid ended his learning journey at the Dursleys' house ahead of schedule and returned to his cottage outside Hogwarts Castle.

Because Dudley had written to the goblins at Gringotts, asking them to deliver a male and a female adult Norwegian Ridgeback to the edge of The Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts as agreed.

Hagrid needed to go back early to clear a large open space and build a dragon shed.

Taking advantage of the fact that Hogwarts hadn't started yet and there were no students to disturb, this task would go more smoothly.

Dumbledore had already reported the matter to the Ministry of Magic and guaranteed with his strength and reputation that the fire dragons wouldn't harm anyone.

Under Kingsley's leadership, the Ministry of Magic didn't hesitate at all to approve Dumbledore's request, and Hagrid's dream of raising dragons was about to come true.

Meanwhile, Dudley received a reward from the System at home.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully resolving the C-level regret event - the expulsion of the wrongly accused half-giant!]

[The host used sharp viewpoints and incisive language to stimulate, guide, and change Albus Dumbledore, the great wizard of the 20th century. As a result, Dumbledore changed from a gentle and compromising wizard to a tough and decisive one. He removed the disobedient Minister of Magic by terrifying means, established his authority, and silenced most of the opposing voices. Eventually, he became the veritable White Demon King.

After coming to power, based on the host's request and his own guilt and pity for Hagrid, the White Demon King publicly rehabilitated Hagrid, dispelling Hagrid's long - standing grievances.

Later, he also held private classes at the host's request to teach Hagrid how to cast spells, making up for Hagrid's regret of dropping out of school midway.]

[This regret event has been perfectly resolved.]

[Specific fixed reward: 1 C-rank fusion opportunity.]

[Extra reward: 1 C-rank fusion opportunity.]

[Currently owned: 3 opportunities to fuse C-level magic items.]

After receiving the System's prompt message, Dudley's face lit up with joy.

In fact, he could have claimed the reward for this regret event earlier. However, if he had done so earlier, Hagrid wouldn't have received sufficient instruction from Dumbledore, and this regret event wouldn't have reached the level of perfect resolution.

The extra reward wouldn't be the top-tier C-rank fusion opportunity.

It's the best time to claim it now.

"System, combine 3 C-rank fusion opportunities into 1 B-rank fusion opportunity and perform a fusion for me with Quirrell's Cracked Wand!"

Dudley sent an instruction to the System with his mind.

The B-rank magic item - Quirrell's Cracked Wand in the portable storage space instantly turned into an invisible wave and disappeared.

It merged with Dudley himself!

[Instruction executed! Consumed 1 B-rank fusion opportunity.]

[Remaining fusion opportunities: none.]
