Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 85: Subduing Filch and Issuing the Mission!

"Very good! I'm very satisfied that you have this awareness instead of just talking big!"

Dudley's tone and expression returned to calm, and he then stated his request, "I don't need you to pay a high price."

My request is simple: just make a magical oath, swear allegiance to me, and do what you can for me within the boundaries of Hogwarts!

Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you!

"that's it?"

Filch was shocked. Judging from Dudley's expression just now, he thought Dudley was going to drain his life force and only make him a wizard for a year or two!

"that's all!"

Dudley responded nonchalantly and immediately reached out to draw a magic contract in the air.

This was a technique he learned from Dumbledore. Unlike the conventional unbreakable oath, the modified magical contract did not have high requirements for the witness, but its binding effect was not reduced at all.

"Let your Lady Lorice be the witness to the contract!"

After the magic contract was completed, it shimmered in mid-air, radiating a mysterious and terrifying power. Lady Loris was attracted by the light and came closer. Dudley then made a decision.

Filch glanced at Mrs. Lorris with great concern. Only after Dudley explained that the contract would not affect the cat did he no longer hesitate and imprint his aged right hand on the magical contract in mid-air.

The magical contract vanished as it turned into specks of light, revealing an unseen connection and shackles.

“Dr. Dursley… no, Master, you…” Filch said hesitantly and timidly.

"Don't call me master, I'm not that perverted Voldemort!"

Dudley rolled his eyes at Filch, directly rejecting Filch's address to him.

Seeing the panic that Filch couldn't hide, Dali sighed and said no more: "Stand still, calm down! Get ready, I'm going to modify you!"

"Huh? It's here?"

Filch's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Dudley to be so casual, but when he met Dudley's calm, unwavering gaze, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He quickly added, "Oh! Okay! You can make the decision, Assistant Professor!"

Without another word, Dudley poked Filch on the forehead with his finger, unsealing the [Slow and Unstable Wandless Spellcasting] ability and transferring it to Filch.

At first, Filch didn't feel anything, but after a second or two, he suddenly felt a powerful force within his body. A blinding purple light uncontrollably emanated from his body, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, radiating outwards.

This old dud, whose neck was almost buried in yellow earth, had become a wizard in the blink of an eye. The magical power and intensity accumulated in his body were clearly much stronger than those of the young wizard.

It is important to know that a wizard's magical abilities increase with age, until they reach the upper limit of their bloodline.

"calmly!"

Seeing that Filch was showing signs of losing control of his magic, Dudley immediately used his strongest calming spell to soothe Filch's agitated state.

"Relax. You need to be the master of magic, not let magic control you! Look at your Lady Loris, her fur has turned purple!"

Guided by both the Dalmatian Sedative and words, Filch gradually regained control of his magic, and the purple light emanating from his body dissipated.

The first thing he did after recovering was to go see his cat. He picked up Mrs. Lorice, looked her over from left to right, and found that only her fur had changed color and everything else was normal, which slowly put his mind at ease.

"You're almost as good as a normal wizard now. Take some time to sneak in a spells class, borrow a couple of books from the library to familiarize yourself with magic theory, and practice your magic manipulation."

"After a while, I'll get you a wand that suits you perfectly. Then you can openly dine in the Great Hall as a wizard!"

Dudley, expressionless, reminded Filch, the administrator, who was already bubbling with glee.

“I’ve got it! Thank you, Assistant Professor Dursley! Please feel free to tell me what you need now! I will do my best to fulfill it!”

Filch put Mrs. Lorris down, bowed very sincerely to Dudley to express his gratitude, and asked for instructions.

Upon hearing this, Dali didn't stand on ceremony and immediately made arrangements:

"First, you need to come up with a reason for turning from a Squib into a wizard, no matter how outrageous it is. Without my orders, you must not tell anyone else that I helped you, nor can you reveal our relationship."

Secondly, you mustn't make things difficult for my cousin Harry, and my friends Ron, Hermione, and Neville. If they do something wrong and you find out, and the consequences aren't serious, just ignore it. But if the consequences are serious, you must come and tell me. You can't punish them on your own.

Third, starting tomorrow, I want you to continuously collect information on incidents of hostility and conflict between students of the four colleges, as well as incidents of pure-blooded students discriminating against mixed-race and Mammalian students. Record all such incidents, regardless of their magnitude, and submit them to me for review periodically.

Fourth, I want you to keep a close eye on the daily life of Potions Professor Severus Snape, and record all the things he does that involve insulting or physically punishing students, as well as deducting house points from students of other houses without authorization. These records should also be submitted to me for review periodically.

Fifth, I want you to keep an eye on the unusual movements of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Ursy Hunter. Keep an eye on her discreetly, but don't get too close, lest something unexpected happens.

That's all for now, those are the five points. Do you understand?

“Understood!” Filch replied immediately, but then a troubled look appeared on his face. “Assistant, everything else is fine, but Professor Snape is a tough character. What if he finds out about me…”

"That would be even better!"

Dudley curled his lips into a wicked smile. "It would be best if he lost his temper and cast a spell on you, then I could openly and legitimately take action against him!"

"Ah... okay!" Filch was stunned again, a bitter look on his face.

"Don't worry! Snape won't kill you now!"

Furthermore, I won't let you suffer in vain. Judging by your age, you probably don't have many years left to live. As long as you serve me diligently, I can give you an elixir of immortality to extend your lifespan and allow you to be the Hogwarts warden for a longer time!

Dudley saw Filch's dilemma and immediately announced incentive measures.

Upon hearing this, Filch's old eyes lit up, and he was no longer afraid of anything. His heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he repeatedly promised Dali that he would guarantee to complete the mission.

Dali chuckled softly, gripped Smetin's cane, and strode back to his dormitory.

He didn't care about Filch's assurances; what he wanted to see were tangible results.
