Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Chapter 86 Running away from home

Dear Dudley:

Sorry for not writing to you for a long time. I'm so busy here that my head explodes every day, but the team only lets me handle small cases, such as minors' illegal use of magic, erasing memories of Muggles who saw wizards, and looking for lost files. Pets and the like, but I found some information about "those people" that I felt I could follow with clues, but my dad and Mr. Scrimgeour both firmly disagreed, and I was distressed.I've occasionally wondered lately whether I'm not cut out to be an Auror, and that's a terrible thought.

I hope everything goes well for you and you graduate soon!Working on a case with you must be so exciting!

Your friend Nina Cummings

She really deserves to be Nina... Dudley couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how naive and eager she was when they first met.Of course the "those people" she was referring to were the dark wizards from the Church of Night Shadow, not to mention her father and Scrimgeour. Dudley didn't support her rash action, so he thought about it and quickly wrote her a letter. , first he praised her greatly, and then tactfully told her that solving the case did not happen overnight, and wished her to be more cautious, protect herself, and visit her when she had time.

Early the next morning, Dudley had just been running around the community for half an hour when Vernon called him back. Dudley suddenly remembered something big, that is, today, Aunt Maggie was coming to live at No. 4 Privet Drive for a while. , this might have been fine for Dudley in the past, and maybe Aunt Maggie would give him some extra pocket money, but today Dudley was just as panicked as Harry. This old lady was a master at grinding people off, and she was very special. Like to give Dudley a big hug suddenly.

The two brothers sitting at the breakfast table were sitting on pins and needles, and the important news began to play on the TV: ...the public is reminded that Blake is extremely dangerous and possesses a deadly weapon. A dedicated hotline has been set up for anyone who finds him. Everyone has an obligation to report it to the county police...

"Needless to say, he must be a bad guy..." Vernon was about to express his verdict of guilt when Dudley interrupted him while eating his cereal: "Is this guy a fugitive?"

Vernon started chatting: "Isn't that right? I really don't know what the policemen in Belmarsh prison do for a living. I remember that a murderer escaped from prison last year and was later shot dead by Interpol..."

"Huh? That's what the news said?" Dudley didn't expect that his feat last year would be completely adapted by Muggle news.He looked at Black's photo. This mental uncle suffered a lot in Azkaban. His face was pale, his hair looked like tangled grass, and he was wearing a tattered prison uniform. He was holding on to the iron railings and roaring crazily.

"I think he looks like a vampire..." Harry muttered to the side. Vernon looked at Harry's messy hair and wanted to ridicule him, but finally held back.

Since Dudley became a wizard, Vernon and Petunia's attitude towards Harry has also improved a lot. Many times they would say mean things to their mouths, but they would swallow them back in the end. Dudley guessed that they were afraid of Harry being in Hogwart. I am bullying myself now, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are.

Vernon looked at his watch and urged Petunia: "Put away the dishes and let's go. Maggie's train will arrive at ten o'clock." Because the two children have been away from home for the past year, Petunia and Vernon began to After living in a world of two, Vernon usually went to the train station to pick someone up alone.

Harry was shocked: "Aunt Maggie? She - she's not coming here, is she?" If we talk about Harry's most hated creatures, Filch's cat and Aunt Maggie are tied at the top of the list. , they have a lot in common, such as looking at Harry's 360-degree displeasure.

Originally, Vernon wanted to give Harry a lesson when he heard Harry's disrespectful words, but at this time he just snorted to express his dissatisfaction, and then tried to use a calm tone and said: "Maggie will come to stay for a week, you Best not to spill the beans about your school and wizards and stuff. Well, that's all."

"No problem, but...Uncle Vernon, can you sign the permission form for us?" Harry said cautiously.

Vernon put on his short coat, without even looking at the permission form, he waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back..."

Petunia also dressed up carefully, hugged Dudley tightly, and drove away with Vernon.

"They're gone," Dudley said.

"Huh? I know..." Harry thought that Aunt Maggie would be coming later, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"I want to run away from home!" Dudley suddenly stood up and said matter-of-factly.

"What?" Harry couldn't believe his ears: "Why did you run away from home?"

"Well, because...because...Sister Nina asked me to help him solve a case, yes, that's right!" Dudley took out Nina's letter from his pocket, waved it in front of Harry and stuffed it back into his pocket. inside.

"Aunt Petunia will definitely be sad!" Harry said.

"The man has his ambitions in all directions. I think she will understand. I have already written a message." Dudley posted a note on the table and said, "Of course, you can stay at home."

"I want to help Aunt Petunia keep an eye on you and keep you from doing dangerous things! Yes, that's it, I have to be with you!" Harry jumped in front of Dudley and said sternly.

"I found..." Dudley touched his chin and smiled: "Gryffindor is no worse than Hufflepuff when it comes to lying!"

Harry rolled his eyes, and then packed his luggage as quickly as possible, unpacking a big suitcase with a book bag and Hedwig's cage on it, while Dudley was relaxed and had a galleung in his pocket. , what can’t you buy?

The two of them left home in a hurry, and Harry suddenly felt a special sense of joy. Ever since he knew the word "run away from home," he had had this idea countless times, but in the end he was overcome by reason and the last hope for family affection. And attachment, no action.Today, it was actually my cousin Dudley, whom I hated most in the past, who was taking him away. This feeling was really exciting.

Dudley released a "lesser concealment spell" for himself and Harry. This is a small spell commonly used by wizards to avoid being noticed in front of Muggles. It is also something Dudley just learned from Grandma Tina. It is very practical, otherwise Harry's outfit is really eye-catching.

Harry didn't know where Dudley was going to take him, so he ran wildly along the street with him, running down one street, then another, until little Harry was out of breath and sore all over. It hurt, and Dudley finally stopped.

"Boss, are you trying to trick me?" Harry sat down on the curb and gasped.

"How could that be?" Dudley's corner of his eye glanced from the dark alley not far away. In the shadows, a big black dog was staring at the two of them with blood-red eyes.

Dudley sat next to Harry and said, "Brother, your health is not good. You don't exercise too much. In the next school year, you and I will run for an hour every morning. You will be energetic all day long..."

Harry rolled his eyes at him and regretted very much that he had not bought a magic bag. It was very difficult to carry so much luggage. However, he admitted Dudley that if he didn't do more exercise next school year, it would be difficult for him to compete in Quidditch. Defeated Hufflepuff.

Harry calmed his breathing and asked, "Where are we going?"

Dudley slightly increased his voice and said: "Of course I'll go to London first and have a good time! I'll go to Diagon Alley to buy new books before school starts, and then I can reunite with the Weasley brothers! Then we'll take the Hogwarts Express together go to school!"

Harry frowned. He had no interest in going to London. He wanted to go directly to the Burrow to visit the Weasley family, but Dudley seemed to be "very interested" and he didn't want to spoil Dudley's happiness.

And Dudley thought to himself, just kidding, if I take you to the Weasley house, Sirius Black will definitely follow you, and there will be a big fight. If all the Dementors are attracted, the plot will be completely off-kilter.

He shook his wand towards the empty street, and soon the speeding Knight Bus stopped in front of them, making Dudley wonder if this bus often parked nearby and waited for him?

Stan, wearing a brand new purple uniform, jumped off the bus and greeted them with exaggerated body language: "Welcome to the Knight Bus..."

"One galleons for you to shut up, two cups of hot cocoa, and go to Diagon Alley." Dudley said ruthlessly.
