Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Cambridgeshire has a long history. It was a flat marshland in ancient times. In the 12th century, Franciscan monks, Benedictine monks and Capricorn monks settled here and established what became Cambridgeshire. In 1209, some teachers from Oxford University fled here to escape internal struggles and established an association of scholars. This was the predecessor of Cambridge University.

By the 20th century, the University of Cambridge was already a world-renowned university, including 31 colleges with unique characteristics. Many of them were established by famous scholars and political and religious figures. Each college was highly independent and formed a loose alliance. In the novel, Hogwarts is modeled after the University of Cambridge.

Among these many colleges, the best graduate school is Darwin College. Although it covers many disciplines, it is most famous for its biomedical disciplines.This was Dudley's destination.

"The dark wizard definitely didn't set up a laboratory randomly. There must be some irreplaceable local resources to bring the poisonous leopard all the way from Africa to England!" Dudley analyzed.

"You mean... they're borrowing Muggle... science?" Newt clenched his hands into fists. It was obvious that he was overwhelmed with emotion and realized the horror of this possibility.

"Muggle science?" Nina looked in disbelief. She had read the story about the poison leopard. In Africa, every time the poison leopard appears, it will cause the tragic death of the entire village. Legend has it that a hundred wizards are needed. To subdue a poison leopard, she didn't think Muggles could do anything to a poison leopard.

"Go to Cambridge!" Newt made a quick decision and asked Dudley to grab his arm. Dudley quickly grabbed it. This opportunity to experience Apparition with a master is not something that comes often. Nina quickly grabbed Newt's arm. Te's other arm.

Without seeing any movement from Newt, Dudley felt that the air around him seemed to have become very viscous, pressing hard against him, and squeezed his body into a strange shape like soft mud, and then his eyes were filled with a blur. It was dark, and he felt like he was weightless and rolling in the dark space, but he held Newt's arm tightly and never dared to let go.

It might only be less than a second, but Dudley felt it was very long. Finally, his eyes lit up and he appeared in a brightly lit hall.

The hall was bright and luxurious, and all kinds of Muggles had filled more than half of the rows of circular seats. They seemed to be preparing for a very important meeting. The big sign on the podium read: Cloning Technology and Universal Ethics.

Dudley suddenly thought that the first cloned sheep, Dolly, came from the UK, but it was not a research institute at the University of Cambridge, but was bred by the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh in 1996. Now it has just entered 1993, cloning technology has not yet been realized, and the relevant theories have not yet been realized. In heated discussions among scholars.

Their sudden appearance did not attract people's attention. It should be that Newt used concealment magic that was not noticeable.

"I attended an academic conference here a few years ago," Newt lowered his head and whispered: "Darwin College has held a series of eight lectures every year since 1986, inviting authoritative scholars from various disciplines to be guest speakers, and also for ordinary people. The crowd, so it’s very lively.”

Dudley suddenly realized that it seemed that wizards could not teleport at will. At least the destination could be seen or visited by him.

"Don't get noticed, let's go out through the side door..." Newt whispered.At this time, there were still many students and gentlemen pouring into the hall while talking. It was not easy for them to squeeze out.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Nina exclaimed in a low voice, quickly turned her head and hid behind Newt. Dudley was stunned and looked towards the door. A somewhat familiar figure was walking through the hall. Come in.

"Why did he come here!" Nina's face was a little unnatural, and she tried not to let the man see her. The man didn't notice the three of them in the crowd. His face was indifferent, and his eyes were full of pride. It was as if standing with Muggles made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Jeb?" Dudley recognized him, and he quickly turned his head to the side. Although he looked completely different, he would still be recognized by people with strong eyesight.

Newt sensed their mood and led them to the window, where the columns and curtains blocked their figures.

"Jeb is also here to investigate this case?" Dudley asked. Logically speaking, as the captain of the Auror squad, it wouldn't be a surprise for Jeb to find out about Darwin College.

"No, absolutely not! I personally heard him report to Director Scrimgeour that no trace of the dark wizard was found, and no suspicious items were found, and the case was closed." Nina whispered: "Don't let him see me …”

Dudley heard some other meanings from Nina's words, but he didn't think about it. He just felt that if Jeb took the initiative to close the case like Nina said, it really didn't look like he would investigate in private. How could anyone Why don't you do your work at work and have to take it home after get off work?

Then there are only two possibilities, either Jeb received another case and just happened to appear here.

The second possibility is more dangerous. Jeb may be incited to rebel because he leaked the Auror information and asked the dark wizards to evacuate early. He is also here to meet with someone today!

Dudley is not a conspiracy theorist, but in the wizarding world, nothing is impossible. What's more, based on his understanding of Jeb, this kid has an inexplicable dislike of Muggles. This kind of emotion is not uncommon in the wizarding world. Many people People with such arrogant blood have become Voldemort's Death Eaters.

It can't be said that Dudley is biased against Jeb because of his experience in the Ministry of Magic Detention Center. This kid is really like a villain.

"This guy is very suspicious...Master Newt..." Dudley leaned into Newt's ear and said.

Newt nodded to him and said: "Leave it to me, you go out through the window..." He tapped the window lightly with his wand, and the originally locked window opened in response, and Dudley and Nina slipped out quietly.

Newt touched his chin with his hand and soon transformed into an old gentleman with a delicate beard. Even Dudley, who had just parted ways, might not recognize him when he changed his personality.

Newt felt relieved to get close to Jeb Dudley, and he and Nina slipped out of the three-story lecture building and walked into the campus of Darwin College.

Darwin College is very famous, but its area is very small. It has a very exquisite garden. The Cam River flows quietly by the college buildings. The scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful. The moonlight that has just risen in the sky shines on the rowing club not far away. , some enthusiasts are still training enthusiastically.

"Let's go over there and wait for Master Newt!" Nina pointed to a wooden trestle not far away.

Dudley blushed slightly. The wooden bridge over the Cam River is well-known as a holy place for literary couples to date. The famous poet Xu Zhimo wrote the famous poem "Farewell Cam Bridge Again" after living in Cambridge.

Following Nina onto the wooden bridge, her tall and fit figure looked particularly pretty in the moonlight. Her long reddish-brown hair was scattered by the breeze by the river, as if it was gently stirring in Dudley's heart. She turned back and smiled slightly: " It's nice to see you again, Dudley, and thank you for being willing to help me! Twice!"

"Ha, actually it didn't help much..." Dudley walked to her side. Dudley was already 165cm at this time, but he still had to slightly look up at Nina's young and somewhat heroic cheeks. She should have some She is of Nordic descent, and her beauty is a little wild.

"No! You helped me a lot!" Nina leaned towards Dudley, their shoulders touching slightly: "I think you are a born Auror..."

"Ha, sister Nina, you have to work hard and try to become the head of the Auror office. Then when I graduate, my boss won't be the old man who looks unhappy when he sees everyone!" Dudley joked. road.

"Haha..." Nina was amused by Dudley: "Actually, Director Scrimgeour still takes good care of me... It's just... I have some problems at home..." After speaking, Nina's expression turned to A touch of sadness, as if there is something unspeakable.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Dudley seemed to hear what Nina meant. It seemed to be something related to feelings, and he wanted to ask clearly.

Suddenly, a dark shadow quickly passed by on the treetops on the other side of the river and disappeared in the direction of the rowing club.

"Flying broomstick!" Nina was startled, grabbed Dudley's arm and said, "It's the dark wizard!"
