Chapter 53: This is Dark Magic! Definitely!

"What do you want?"

Facing Dudley, Malfoy unconsciously used polite language.

Confirming that Dudley was not someone he could mess with, Malfoy became timid.

Dudley had encountered many people like Malfoy, even at St. George's School. They were simply spoiled troublemakers.

Give them a taste of their own medicine, and it's best to settle things once and for all.

Dudley had gained a notorious reputation at St. George's, but violence alone wouldn't cut it.

"What do you think I want?"

Dudley's hand lightly rested on Malfoy's shoulder, gliding over like wiping away dust. Two fingers pressed on the shoulder and elbow joints.

'Crack.'

An extremely subtle sound of bones reached Dudley's ears.

Malfoy was horrified to find that his right hand, like a lump of rubber, hung limp on his shoulder. No matter how hard he tried, there was no response.

A piercing pain radiated from his arm. Malfoy, used to a life of luxury, had never experienced such a feeling. Tears and snot flowed immediately.

Just as he was about to shout, he noticed Dudley's hand on his neck, and the sound died in his throat.

He didn't even dare to breathe, afraid his neck would become as unresponsive as his arm.

Even if he wasn't a wizard, he knew what this meant.

That magical hand held his life in its grasp.

Then, the hand lingered just above Malfoy's forehead, less than two centimeters away.

For the first time, Dudley unabashedly released his malice towards Malfoy. In that moment, he seemed like a demon crawling up from the depths of the underworld. Malfoy felt, for the first time in his life, that death was so close. He had no doubt that any movement on his part would result in being torn to pieces by Dudley, and then consumed bit by bit.

This was a shock directly to the soul. Malfoy felt like he couldn't breathe.

No, not just felt, but he truly couldn't breathe.

"Please..."

Malfoy's pale face turned red from lack of oxygen.

'Dark magic, he must have used dark magic. I'm going to die.'

Malfoy screamed in his mind. In this moment, he remembered his father's words of caution, advising him not to provoke that Harry Potter unless he was sure that both Potter and his companions were ordinary people.

In pure-blood circles, the idea that Harry was a dark wizard or that someone powerful and dark was lurking among his associates was quite popular.

Malfoy never imagined that Harry's brother, this guy named Dudley Dursley, was that dark wizard.

Whether he believed Harry was a dark wizard or not, some believed that there must be a powerful dark wizard among his associates. Otherwise, they couldn't explain how Voldemort was defeated. In their eyes, only a stronger dark wizard could defeat Voldemort.

He hadn't seen Dudley use a wand or heard him incant a spell. It was a silent spell, something his father occasionally mentioned.

A sign of a highly skilled wizard.

Dudley wasn't just a dark wizard; he was a highly skilled dark wizard.

In reality, Dudley only released a bit of malice. Malfoy's inability to breathe was due to his own tension and fear. Intense emotions such as fear and anxiety could lead to muscle tension, spasms, and difficulty breathing, known as emotional spasm or stress response.

In other words, it was just tension, muscle spasms.

A normal physiological reaction.

Malfoy, unfortunately, didn't understand this.

For wizards, no matter what happens, their first reaction is to think of magic.

In other words, ignorance is not bliss.

" I like useful people. You know, useful people are very lovable."

"From now on, you're my follower. Any objections?"

Malfoy dared not resist at this point, nodding his head hastily, like a chick pecking at grains.

"Yes, yes."

Upon hearing Malfoy's answer, Dudley's malice diminished slightly, relieving Malfoy's stress response. His breathing became a bit smoother.

Casually grabbing Malfoy's right hand, Dudley lifted it gently.

With a meaningful tone, he whispered to Malfoy, "So, we have an agreement. Let's get along well from now on."

"Remember, three strikes, and you're out of chances."

The malice dissipated, leaving Malfoy feeling like a pile of soft mud. Even the suffocating feeling vanished.

Even his arm returned to normal, no longer a limp mass.

In this moment, he felt like he had entered heaven.

Emotional spasms are usually temporary. Once emotions are relieved, spasms naturally disappear.

So, Malfoy's current state was normal.

"Definitely dark magic!"

"He's truly a powerful dark wizard!"

Malfoy shouted in his mind. Unfortunately, Dudley couldn't read minds, or he would have said Malfoy was overthinking.

Although there was more fear than excitement, there was a hint of excitement underneath.

After being rubbed the wrong way by Dudley repeatedly, Malfoy not only developed a deep fear but also a bit of admiration.

In simple terms, he was in awe of strength.

Many people say this is a Slytherin trait.

In reality, which house, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff, doesn't admire strength?

It's human nature.

"By the way, Professor Snape said your physique is too weak. I agree, so I plan to take you with me when I exercise."

Dudley's tone was unquestionable, not open for discussion with Malfoy, just informing him.

"Monday to Friday, every morning at 7 o'clock. I don't want you to be late."

Dudley's daily morning exercise was definitely before 7 a.m., so he set this time for Malfoy.

Where would Malfoy dare to refuse now? He would agree to anything Dudley said.

"To change your annoying personality, remember the content on this paper."

"While running, shout it out loud."

Dudley handed a piece of paper to Malfoy, with only a few sentences written on it.

Having done all this, Dudley ignored Malfoy and walked towards the door. He had plans to meet with Harry and others in Hagrid's cabin in the afternoon.

He believed that after today, Malfoy would definitely not dare to cause trouble for him again. Moreover, he would be very obedient.

Honestly, Malfoy's nature was not bad. Besides being a bit mouthy, handsy, and arrogant, perhaps this would be the breakthrough to reform Slytherin.
