After a year, Dudley 's attributes have all increased, especially his constitution which rose by five points.

Although Dudley himself doesn't know how it increased, it might be related to his training? His magic resistance also increased from 1 point to 2 points, and this is the original version without meditation enhancement.

The reason for such rapid growth is mainly because Dudley is only 12 years old, still in his growth phase; if a few more years pass, the speed will definitely decrease.

In terms of special skills, the Ripple Energy has broken through to LV2, making him more proficient in its use and increasing its quantity.

The Magical Creature Language has also grown to LV2; Dudley has been chatting with magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and the effect is very obvious.

Three days later.

Dudley, along with Harry and Hermione, successfully arrived at Hogsmeade by Knight Bus.

The Knight Bus is a transportation tool for wizards, moving at incredible speed, jumping 100 miles with each hop. It claims that for just eleven silver Sickles, you can reach any destination you want, but in reality, it can only travel within Europe.

After getting off, Harry and Hermione looked extremely pale; it was clear that this was not a pleasant journey.

This is also why Professor McGonagall would rather walk than take it.

Only Dudley appeared calm; his constitution was simply terrifying and he was not affected at all.

Mainly, the Dursleys and Grangers are not wizards, and their fireplaces are not transport points, so they cannot use Floo Powder.

In the absence of Apparition and Portkeys, taking the Knight Bus is the best option.

What came into view were quaint houses, with shops lining the streets; looking around, one could see many wizards, and the bustling atmosphere was not much different from Diagon Alley.

Hogsmeade Village, the largest all-wizard village in England, is also the only village with no Muggles, and it was the headquarters of the 1612 Goblin Rebellion.

"This is Hogsmeade; it's so beautiful."

After drinking Dudley 's specially made potion for motion sickness, Hermione's condition improved a lot, and she was immediately captivated by the surrounding environment.

Unique little houses with branches hanging with magically lit candles were indeed beautiful.

And although it is called a village, it is not much different from an average small town.

"The book 'A History of Hogwarts' says we can only come here in our third year with parental consent. I didn't expect to come here in our first year."

Hermione, looking happy, started to introduce again, of course referring to that book that seems to record everything, 'A History of Hogwarts.'

Theoretically, it is true that only third-year students can visit Hogsmeade, but in reality, Hogsmeade is not a secret base, and it does not prohibit young wizards from entering.

Young wizards who grew up in the wizarding world may have visited here more than once in their childhood, so as long as you want to come, you can at any time.

"It's still early." Dudley raised his hand to check the watch on his wrist and said, "We can take a stroll around first."

"Dudley, this watch?" Hermione immediately noticed this detail and asked right away.

Hogsmeade is very close to Hogwarts, and theoretically, electronic devices should not work here; Hermione already knew that watches did not work at Hogwarts, and even her alarm clock couldn't function properly.

Why is Dudley's watch unaffected?

"Shh." Dudley waved his index finger near Hermione's lips: "I'll explain it to you slowly later."

Alchemy combined with magical equipment modification is indeed a great combination.

If we talk about the must-visit spots in Hogsmeade.

Honeydukes Sweet Shop, the best candy shop in all of England; just passing by, you can smell the sweet aroma. It is said that Dumbledore is a regular customer here, and Harry as expected bought a lot of candy.

Zonko's Joke Shop, which sells many pranking props; Dudley wasn't interested in these, so he didn't go.

The Devis and Bans shop can barely be considered a magical equipment store in the wizarding world, as it only sells small items like demon-repelling glasses and memory orbs, but it did provide some inspiration for Dudley.

After having a bite to eat at Madam Puddifoot's tea house, the three of them headed to the Three Broomsticks Inn, which was the agreed-upon meeting place for Dudley and Carlo.

Almost all Hogwarts students would choose this location for their meetings, although there are two pubs in Hogsmeade; the other one is the Hog's Head Inn at the corner of the main road, which is more popular among adults.

When the three entered, Carlo was already inside. "Mr. Carlo."

"Mr. Dursley." Although the two had established a certain rapport, they still exchanged very polite greetings upon meeting.

This was Carlo's habit, and Dudley respected it. After some small talk, Carlo spoke again. "I heard that Mr. Dursley made quite an impression at the banquet; it's a pity I couldn't witness your splendor." As a seventh-year student, Carlo had already graduated and was no longer at Hogwarts, so he did not attend the final year-end banquet.

Carlo seemed somewhat excited, as if his interest in Dudley had intensified: "If only I could graduate a few years later, I would surely want to be a member of the discipline team you established."

"The atmosphere in Slytherin, no, in all four Hogwarts houses, has indeed worsened over the years." Carlo had mentioned this issue more than once during his time at school, but he only brought it up casually, as it didn't really concern him.

"You're not doing too badly yourself; I heard you're about to take a position at the International Magical Cooperation Department - the British branch of the International Wizarding Federation." There is no rule in the wizarding world that officials cannot engage in business; being a Ministry official does not conflict with being the owner of a witch and potion publishing house.

Moreover, he wasn't just an employee in the past; he must have been part of the management, which means he held an official position.

Why become a Ministry official? Of course, it was for personal gain; many pure-blood aristocrats do this, as they control 90% of the wealth in the wizarding world, acting as both referees and players.

"Mr. Dursley, you certainly have your ear to the ground."

Even so, Carlo was not surprised that Dudley was aware of his movements; in fact, he felt it was only natural, considering he was the brother of that Potter.

"You're not doing too badly either, Mr. Carlo." Another round of mutual business flattery. "Sorry to interrupt, may I ask what you gentlemen need?"
