Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

A group of friends were playing around, and finally Harry and Ron were wandering around in front of the Quidditch boutique. This was the second time Harry saw the heroic figure of the Firebolt, and he learned a lot about the various aspects of the Firebolt from Ron. Performance, talking about it made Ron drool almost to the floor.

It's just that Ron knows his own family affairs. Several of his brothers are Quidditch masters, but his flying skills are beyond words. Even if he wins a big prize when he goes out, someone gives him a Firebolt for free, which will only increase the chance of him getting into a car accident. That’s all.

Hermione walked up to Dudley and chatted with him intentionally or unintentionally: "I still have 10 gold galleons. It's my birthday in September. My parents gave me some money and asked me to buy myself a birthday gift in advance. .”

Dudley replied casually: "How about buying a good book? I bought a lot of potions treatises..."

His attention was not on Hermione at all, but was staring at Ron's shoulder. The rat Scabbers had his head drooped and was looking around on his shoulder as if nothing had happened.

If we talk about the challenges Harry faces in his third year, Peter Pettigrew is definitely in the top three.

Although Peter Pettigrew is very belittled in the novels and movies, and he seems to be a coward who succumbed to Voldemort, a traitor who betrayed his friends, and a coward who fled in fear of crime, Dudley knew clearly that Peter was a very powerful man. wizard.

Being able to blow up half a street with a spell, being able to lurk in front of countless powerful wizards for more than ten years, being able to make Cedric die with a single cruel encounter... Such a wizard is not weak in any way, even Dudley thinks , his strength is above Sirius, and he can compete with the half-blood prince Snape.

Dudley stared at Scabbers, wondering what the success rate would be if he set up a small trap and killed it from a distance, and what consequences would it have that would change the plot?

"Are you also interested in mice?" Hermione's words brought Dudley back to his senses. He turned around and saw that the little girl was obviously a little unhappy.

Dudley scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, "I was thinking that if Ron rode the Firebolt, he would be as scared as Scabbers~"

"Haha..." Hermione was amused by Dudley, and she continued: "I really want an owl of my own. Dudley, do you have any suggestions?"

"How about we go to the Magical Beasts store to have a look. My Scabbers seems to be sick. I hope there is some medicine that can help it." Ron heard Hermione's words and turned around to talk.

Dudley shrugged. He had no interest in the little animals that could only act cute and show off. He sent the three little ones to go shopping by themselves. According to the plot, Hermione would buy the big ginger cat named Crookshanks, which was cruel enough. De Banban was dying, and his eyes were attracted by a bounty association sign on the street corner.

He turned into a corner where no one was paying attention, and when he came out, he had transformed into "Li Mu". He pushed open the door of the Bounty Association with a big stride.

This place is not as deceptive as the Bounty Association branch in Hogsmeade Village, where you have to use gold coins to clear the way. It is more like an ordinary small bar, but the booths create some privacy. Wizards can cast a small soundproofing spell and whisper about less-than-bright topics.

"Can I serve you? Sir." A middle-aged waiter with a standard London accent came over.

"I have some information that I would like to inquire about." Dudley glanced at him coldly, and his aura made the waiter take two steps back in surprise, but then, Dudley threw a Galleung in a very smart way.

The waiter caught it and was slightly startled when he saw the pattern on the Galleon. He then put on a brighter smile and said, "I am at your service, sir."

In this gray area of ​​wizard society, strong strength and strong financial resources are the guiding light.

The waiter took Dudley to a cubicle, and soon, a short, fat man with messy yellow hair came in and approached Dudley very familiarly.

The waiter who followed said, "This is Mr. Mundungus Fletcher. He is the most well-informed person in Diagon Alley and should be able to help you." After that, he politely withdrew.

Dudley looked at the wretched man in front of him with a bit of laughter and tears. Mundungus was very familiar to him. He had been in the lowest level of wizarding society for a long time and was an excellent thief and intelligence expert. Although he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, But a total scumbag.

It's hard to describe his deeds in one sentence. All in all, he failed more than he succeeded.After Sirius died, what this guy wanted was not to avenge his comrades, but to immediately loot everything he thought was valuable in No. 12 Grimmauld Place, including selling Slytherin's pendant. Gave it to Umbridge.He even directly killed Mad-Eye Moody because of his timidity.

Dudley felt that his little cleverness and achievements could not cover up his shameful behavior. Both Mrs. Weasley and Harry hated this guy, but at this moment, many mistakes had not happened yet, and Dudley did not need to worry about the future. He was angry about something, but his intelligence ability was quite useful.

"I am willing to serve you... Mr. from the East." Mundungus put on a very "bright" smile, showing his yellow teeth. He was almost as good as the groundhog daddy. He exuded a strong Dudley couldn't help but step back slightly due to the stench of tobacco and alcohol.

"I'll get straight to the point. You may not have the answer right now, but I hope you can get this information as soon as possible." Dudley took out a few gold coins, put them on the table and said: "First, how to kill dementors; second, , information about the Night Shadow Church."

Mundungus trembled, not expecting Dudley to ask such a powerful question.

As we all know, dementors are wizards' most feared nightmare and are also the guardians of Azkaban. The Ministry of Magic has publicly stated that no magic can kill dementors and advises all wizards not to become enemies of dementors.

The Church of Night Shadow is a very hidden dark wizard organization. Mundungus has heard about it, but it is a bit difficult for him to provide any useful information immediately.

"Don't worry, this is the deposit," Dudley folded ten Galleons into a cylinder and pushed it to Mundungus. "If you have any news, you can pass it to me through the Bounty Association. The recipient should write: Just do it, you can decide the price."

Seeing Dudley's generous move, Mundungus' bloodshot eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He grabbed the gold coin and quickly stuffed it into his arms, fearing that Dudley would regret it.

"Of course, if I find out that you gave me false news, or used worthless hearsay to pervert me..." Dudley chuckled, invisible murderous aura emanating from his body, which was coming from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. The momentum may not be obvious to ordinary people, but a wizard with keen senses like Mundungus can already feel the murderous aura like a blade, gesticulating back and forth on his neck.

"Yes...yes, I will definitely find an answer that satisfies you!" Mundungus was so frightened that he had already concluded that Dudley was a murderous gangster who would never be able to survive without dozens of lives on his hands. Showing such real murderous intent.

Dudley waved his hand, and Mundungus was relieved and ran away.

Dudley estimated the time and placed an order for potion seeds with the Bounty Association. Then he walked out. After changing back to Dudley's appearance in the hiding place, he happened to see the three little Harrys chasing a group of people. A cat and a mouse run out of the Magical Creatures Shop.

"Dudley! Help me catch Scabbers!" Ron couldn't help shouting when he saw Dudley from a distance.

Dudley shrugged, thinking that we didn't want to get close to the evil rat. He wished that Crookshanks would just swallow Scabbers in one gulp to reduce the risk of the plot later.

Finally, Ron found Scabbers under a cardboard box in front of the Quidditch boutique. Seeing Scabbers' frightened look, Ron felt extremely distressed. He kept complaining to Hermione and asked her to put Crookshanks in a cage. But Hermione ignored Ron very ruthlessly, and the two quarreled again. Ron announced loudly that he would never sit in the same carriage as Hermione on the train to Hogwarts tomorrow.

Dudley and Harry looked at each other helplessly. Ron's ultimatum was not as fragile as the ice cream sold on the street.
