Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

On the last day of the school year, Hogwarts held an end-of-term banquet in the banquet hall, and Dudley took the opportunity to leave the school with Newt.

For the sake of confidentiality, the news of Dudley's departure was not told to Harry, Pansy and others. Only Dumbledore and Snape said goodbye to Dudley.

"I wish you a pleasant holiday in France." Dumbledore's tone was very brisk, as if Dudley was really just going on holiday, "France is a romantic country, and it has always been rich in lovely witches. Maybe You can experience a beautiful encounter there.”

Dudley smiled bitterly in his heart, meeting Nagini, a beautiful snake who had lived for who knows how many years, his heartbeat was definitely racing, but it was probably not a deer bumping into each other, but a thrilling one.

"Be smart and don't embarrass the Slytherin students." Snape glared at Dudley sternly, "Also, although Dumbledore gave you permission to use magic to protect yourself in emergencies outside school, but Remember not to use magic on Muggles, and don’t end up asking the school to go to the French Ministry of Magic to pick someone up.”

After Dudley said goodbye to Dumbledore and Snape, he entered the warm room from the opened handbag, where the cute baby dragon Norberta was already waiting for him.

"I'll let you know when I get there. This time we will use Muggle transportation to avoid alerting the French Ministry of Magic." Newt's voice came from the exit above his head, "It is complete with food and other daily necessities, but be careful. Don’t let the little birds and snakes out of the teapot at the end of the cabinet.”

Dudley and Norberta played in the leather bag space, and when they were tired, they would fall asleep together holding Norberta's hard little head.I don't know how much time passed, but Dudley heard a "click" above his head, and the bag was opened.

"We're here, kid." Newt shouted from the exit. "Don't worry, it's night here and there's no sunshine, but you'd better wear an extra layer of clothes."

Dudley got out of the suitcase. Although he had no body temperature due to the sequelae of the curse, he still clearly felt that the temperature was much lower than at Hogwarts: "Mr. Scamander, where are we here?"

"Just call me Newt." Newt opened the window, and Dudley could see a towering mountain peak shining with silver-white reflected light under the bright moonlight. "This is a small town on the border of France, Switzerland, and Italy. Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Lambert.”

Although Dudley has never been here before, he has heard of Chamonix, a world-famous tourist attraction.It is France's most famous alpine town and ski resort, and is world-famous as the starting point for climbing Mount Lambert, the highest peak in the Alps.

"Is this our destination?" Dudley felt the majesty of Mount Lambert in front of him, but he still had some doubts in his heart, "But this is a famous tourist destination for Muggles. I thought we would start our investigation where wizards live. of."

Newt sat down and rubbed his cold hands: "Except for those ancient families, many of today's wizards live with Muggles. The boundaries between the Muggle world and the wizarding world have become increasingly blurred. And we’re here for a reason, come and see this.”

Newt handed Dudley a newspaper. Dudley opened it and found that it was not the wizard's Daily Prophet, but an ordinary Muggle newspaper.Using French that he had just learned and was still not very proficient in, Dudley could barely decipher the contents of the newspaper.

“According to AFP reports…accidental disappearances of climbers occur frequently during the Chamonix climbing season…Experts advise travelers to pay attention to safety and avoid accident-prone scenic spots…”

"Yes, it was originally the best window period to climb Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps. However, due to the recent frequent disappearances, the number of tourists and climbers has been greatly affected." Newt poured a cup of hot tea. Passed it to Dudley, "From various indications, these accidents are likely to be related to magic."

"But hasn't the rampaging underage wizard last time been arrested by the French Ministry of Magic?" Dudley frowned, "And why are there Muggle witnesses... The French Ministry of Magic didn't send anyone Come and clear your memory?"

"It seems that Nagini's influence is not limited to that boy. Due to the boy's destruction and the consecutive disappearances, the relationship between Muggles and wizards here has become very tense. I heard that the Ministry of Magic sent People are often driven away by local residents, and because there are so many people involved, memory control is difficult to do, and it is inevitable that something will slip through the net."

Newt took back the newspaper from Dudley, looked at the content carefully, and sighed: "To allow such rumors to be published in Muggle newspapers, it seems that the French Ministry of Magic has been unable to control the development of the incident. I hope they can You won’t just drag people out to take the blame just because you are anxious to solve the case - I have seen this kind of thing too many times."

"But this is not entirely a bad thing for us. If the Ministry of Magic's memory erasure work is not thorough, it means that we can look for clues about Nagini through rumors among Muggles."

After saying that, Newt stood up and waved his wand towards Dudley.Dudley felt a warm feeling spread all over his body, and then he found that his exposed hand gradually recovered its color from the original pale color and became rosy.

"Pick up your clothes, Dudley." Newt handed Dudley a coat, "The magic I cast on you can make you look like a normal person. We will go to the field to collect intelligence later."

Dudley changed out of his school robes into Muggle attire.Dudley found in front of the mirror that he had lost a lot of weight compared to before, and was a little taller and stronger than his peers.

"Remember to put your wand away, kid." Newt told Dudley before going out. "If you encounter anything, leave it to me. Except in life-threatening emergencies, try not to use magic."

Newt carried his suitcase and went out with Dudley side by side like two grandsons.When they walked to the hotel lobby, the young lady at the front desk rubbed her eyes vigorously, thinking she was dazzled. After all, Newt entered the room alone and came out two people.

"The town of Chamonix is ​​composed of 16 villages, and this is the most famous commercial street in Chamonix." Newt and Dudley came to a street not far from the hotel. "Usually this place is very lively. , especially during the mountaineering season, there are many Muggle tourists coming and going."

Despite Newt's introduction, Dudley found that although both sides of the street were full of shops, restaurants, etc., the street now seemed a little deserted.Most of the huge commercial streets were deserted, and only a few drunken men could be seen on the street.

"The disappearance has had a huge impact on the local economy and has affected the livelihood of the residents." Newt opened the door of a bar while talking to Dudley, "So we'd better hide our identities, local residents Not very friendly to wizards."
