The cache is not at the posted coordinates (which are actually
for Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (disguised as
UCSC!) But the cache is located within 2 miles.
One summer break from Hogwart's, Hermione Granger's parents gave
her a GPS for a present. Hermione quickly learned about geocaching
and decided to create a puzzle cache based upon arithmancy, one of
her favorite subjects that she studied at Hogwart's.
The cache is located in the nearby Forbidden Forest at the
following location:
N AB CD.EFG Check sum: 30
W STU VW.XYZ Check sum: 24
Use arithmancy to determine the value of the Character Number of
the names used in the clues below:
A - (George Weasley)
B - (Fred Weasley)
C - (Ronald Weasley) + (Hermione Granger)
D - (Buckbeak) + (Rubeus Hagrid)
E - (Ludo Bagman) - (Victor Krum) + (Oliver Wood)

The cache is placed along a well established trail, less than
ten feet from the trail's edge, under a laying of sticks.
GPS reception can be spotty under the trees, so feel free to use
the hint.
Enjoy! And happy caching!
