Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Chapter 43 Christmas Eve

"Harry, here it is, your gift!" Dudley said in an old-fashioned way, passing a box from behind Harry.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't prepare for you..." Harry was obviously embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, I'm your brother and I should take care of you! Open it!" Dudley said proudly.

Harry untied the ribbon excitedly and opened the box, only to find a thick photo album inside. The cover was a somewhat old photo, which was a photo of James Potter playing on the Gryffindor team. .

"I found this with Professor McGonagall's help. Don't think about your relationship with Slytherin anymore. Both your aunt and uncle are Gryffindor graduates!" Dudley said.

Harry couldn't hold back his tears anymore and gave Dudley a big hug.After more than ten years of unhappiness, at this moment Harry finally let go and became true brothers with Dudley.

two hours later.

"You said you would protect me! We are good brothers!" Harry had a sly look in his eyes, and Ron quickly agreed.

"By the way, Hermione, are you going to mess around with the two of them?" Dudley frowned and asked Hermione, who was already fully warmed.

"I have to watch them both to prevent them from getting into more trouble!" Hermione said sternly.

"Come on, that dead cat is coming soon. If you get caught, there will be no good consequences!" Fred urged, and he was also wrapped tightly, even covering half of his face.

George tapped the hunchback of the one-eyed witch statue with his wand and whispered: "Separate left and right!"

Yes, that's right, they just want to sneak away to Hogsmeade Village to participate in the Christmas Eve carnival. Only the children will sleep early under the Christmas tree. They are all warriors who have fought against the dark wizards.

Dudley had already guessed that the secret passage couldn't be hidden. After all, the twins and Harry's three little ones were too close. They hung out together every day. It was impossible for the twins to cover up their whereabouts perfectly every time. And suddenly, Extra new stuff.

Moreover, they are not stingy people, otherwise they would not have given Harry the Marauder's Map directly later. After Ron's questioning, they did it directly.

It was the first time for the three little ones to walk the secret passage, which was quite novel and exciting. Dudley and the twins were a little uneasy that time. The dark passage made people feel nervous, but the three of them didn't have this problem. With their brothers Just keep it covered, even if it's heartless.

The Bee Duke store is overcrowded with customers, and the store manager and employees are very busy. They have been preparing for Christmas for two weeks, but it seems that the supply exceeds the supply.

Hogwarts students are their main customers, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see someone emerging from the cellar, as long as they aren't holding unpaid candy.

Dudley was so impressed that he bought a palm-sized multivitamin argan candy for each of the three little ones. They will automatically change color after you lick them, and you will never guess what the next bite will taste like.The owner stresses that it is absolutely delicious and healthy.

Walking out of Bee Duke, the village is a bustling scene. The branches in the village are covered with magic candles. You can see glowing Christmas trees everywhere, as well as snowmen waving their arms to greet passers-by. Of course, there are also various weird voodoo dolls.

Harry and Ron seemed to have arrived in a new world. Their eyes were wide open and they found everything new and interesting. However, Fred reminded them to cover their faces with their hoods so that the upperclassmen would not recognize them, especially the Slytherin accusers. and their older brother Percy.

Hermione kept telling Harry about the fact that this was the headquarters of the goblin rebellion in 1612, but Harry and Ron were obviously more interested in the "famous attractions" that the twins had mentioned many times.

Fred enthusiastically led them to Zuko's Magic Joke Shop and the famous haunted house "The Screaming Shack", while Dudley got into the crowd when they weren't paying attention. Head to the hidden bounty alley.

After stuffing a gold coin into the door, the door slowly opened, passing through the dark corridor and the booth where the bounty hunters discussed the details of the mission. Mr. Motu, who had a shiny head, was tapping the ledger while taking a sip. Dark brown tequila, the man in the silver mask still stood in the darkness, like a statue.

"Mr. Eminem, welcome again!" Mr. Motu nodded gracefully and put down his account book and wine glass. "Is there anything you need today?"

Dudley sat down in front of him politely and said straight to the point: "I need to order a Muggle weapon."

Mr. Motu suddenly became interested: "Tell me about it?"

"An original AK47 automatic rifle, and I hope to enchant it in terms of accuracy." Dudley said. After fighting against the overlord octopus and the basilisk, he suffered from a phobia of insufficient firepower. Now he has money in his pocket. Need a fast weapon.

After consulting the introduction in the ordnance manual, he knew that after his "Gun Contract" was upgraded, he could "convert" into an automatic rifle. If he asked about the best automatic rifle in this era, it had to be the Soviet-made AK47. Otherwise, Nor will it be exported to hundreds of countries and copied by countless countries.

Mr. Motu stroked the sparse beard on his chin and said: "With all due respect, Mr. Amu seems to like Muggle weapons very much, but even in the wizarding world, weapons such as automatic rifles are strictly controlled."

Dudley took out a small bag of Galleons and handed it over and said, "Pay half first and pick it up a week later. Is there any problem?"

Mr. Motu weighed it, about 150 pieces, and said with a smile: "At your service, Mr. Amu, is there anything else you need?"

Dudley also touched his chin and said, "I want to take on some tasks, preferably to deal with some dark creatures."

Mr. Motu grinned and said, "Do I need to earn back the Galleons I just gave you? Sorry, the Bounty Association has regulations that prohibit tasks from being issued to wizards under the age of 17..."

Dudley shook his finger and said, "Isn't there any mission to go to the Forbidden Forest? I think it's not that simple for adult wizards to enter and exit Hogwarts, right?"

Mr. Motu was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, but Dudley seemed to see some approval in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was approving.

However, Mr. Motu waved and led Dudley to the cubicle. There was a row of dirty old-fashioned mechanical typewriters in the cubicle, and the wall was covered with densely packed reward lists. They looked like a They were lying on the wall like butterflies, occasionally squeezing each other for position.

As soon as Mr. Motu waved his hand, a reward list flew over.

"Oh! The blood and tail hair of a unicorn. The blood is 30 galleons per ounce, and the tail hair is 4 galleons per ounce. It needs to be complete and white... Um, aren't you interested?" He looked at Dudley while reading. reaction, and Dudley quickly shook his head.

Just kidding, poaching unicorns is a serious crime, old bald man, you are messing with me!

Mr. Motu quickly changed one:

"The hoof of the centaur... well, forget it... it's some weird voodoo magic..." Before he could finish reading, he tore up the reward list himself.

Although the centaurs in the magical world have not been recognized as an "intelligent race" by the Ministry of Magic, but are classified as "magical animals", many wizards believe that they and giants should be treated as "human beings". For Mr. Motu, Dealing with a few dark wizards might not be a big deal, but actually going to the Forbidden Forest to murder centaurs would get you into big trouble.

Dudley accompanied him to search for a long time, and finally found a suitable one:

"A pint of Acromantula's venom is one hundred galleons. Ha, I guess this employer doesn't really intend to get so much venom from a hunter. Let's do it, five galleons per ounce." .”

"Very good, I'll take it!" Dudley nodded repeatedly. His enchanted +1 pistol bullets cost about 3.3 Galleons each. If he used them sparingly, he wouldn't lose money...

Mr. Motu rolled up the reward list gracefully and handed it to Dudley. Dudley stuffed it into his arms. When there was no one else here, he whispered:

"Mr. Motu, I also want to ask about a side topic..."

Mr. Motu raised his eyebrows, waiting for his words.

"Have you heard about the Faceless Men?" Dudley said carefully, while carefully watching Mr. Motu's reaction.

But he was very disappointed. It was as if Mr. Motu heard this word for the first time. He spread his hands and said: "I'm afraid I don't have the information you want here." After a pause, he added: "But I will pay attention to it for you, just Think of it as a small value-added service for you!"

Dudley sighed slightly and strode out of the Bounty Association, but after he left, Mr. Motu nodded to the man in the silver mask, and the masked man shook his head like a golem on a string.
