Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 148 Good News and Bad News

To Snape's surprised gaze, Dumbledore showed him a man falling into a baby's sleep.

"Peter Pettigrew, your former classmate, was also the one who told Voldemort the address of Mr. and Mrs. Potter."

Dumbledore pointed to the man who was locked in an enchanted cage. The mesh of this cage was so dense that not even a mouse could escape from it.

Then, the old headmaster told Snape everything he knew so far.

Between lies and the truth, he chose to tell Snape the truth.

Because Snape is not a fool, and he also knows that if you want to unite a smart person, you cannot deliberately deceive and conceal the truth.

"I'm going to send him to the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore sat on a large armchair, hanging his hands in front of him and stroking a round opal ring. He didn't seem to notice that Snape's fingers holding the wand had turned white from pinching himself.

"Sirius has been unjustly imprisoned for 11 years, and it's time for him to be vindicated.

Although he also made mistakes - the mistake was that he did not believe in himself, but believed in someone who should not be believed, and he also cleverly changed the secret keeper of the Red Loyalty Curse - but he also regretted it beyond measure. 11 years of atonement in Azkaban.

We need to get him out and let the people who really deserve to be punished be punished. "

Snape said nothing. After a while, he turned around, threw off his wizard robe and strode towards the door of the principal's office, leaving only one sentence -

"You decide."
-
Hogwarts, Hospital Wing.

Harry did not return to the dormitory with Bourne as Dumbledore said. The moment Voldemort's remnant soul was refined by the light of the Golden Throne, the little wizard fainted again.

Professor Scamander rushed him to the hospital wing and woke up Madam Pomfrey who had fallen asleep.

When Harry woke up again, it was already thirteen days later.

He found himself lying on a bed covered with white sheets, next to a table piled high with candy high enough to open a candy store.

"These are from your friends and admirers, and they are so warm."

Dumbledore was sitting beside his bed. As soon as Harry opened his eyes, the old headmaster said kindly: "Although what happened between you and Professor Quirrell in the Chamber of Secrets is a secret, everyone in the school knows it." Everyone knows this.

George and Fred - the two future Mr Weasleys - even gave you a flush toilet because they thought you would be interested.

But Madam Pomfrey thought it was unhygienic and confiscated it. "

It took Harry some time to digest these things, and after a while he asked: "Headmaster Dumbledore, how long have I been here?"

"Thirteen days. Ron and Hermione will be very happy to see you wake up. They are very worried about you."

"But principal, that magic stone..."

“I don’t want you to be upset anymore.

Okay, let's talk about that rock.

You can rest assured that Professor Quirrell and Voldemort were not ultimately able to get it, someone stopped them. "

"Did you stop them?" Harry asked excitedly. "I knew you would definitely take action..."

However, to his surprise, Dumbledore shook his head.

"In fact, this matter is mainly due to Professor Bourne and Snape. I just finally confirmed everyone's safety.

We must start from the beginning.

Bourne, George, and Fred came back from the Forbidden Forest together. You know, they accepted the position of 'Forbidden Forest Assistant'. "

"That's right, there's a fire in the Forbidden Forest!"

"Yes, that fire was also set off by Quirrell... who thought of a way."

"No wonder Ron and I were worried about the magic stone because we saw the fire, and then we ran into the 'forbidden zone'."

“They really came close.

But coincidentally, the Bourne and Weasley twins finished fighting the fire and returned to Hogwarts Castle through a secret passage.

They mistakenly entered the control room of the secret room you entered, where Bourne discovered the tool to control the 'Guardian' alchemical golem created by Nick Flamel, and used it to block Voldemort and Quirrell for a while. "

"Thank God, this is the best coincidence!" Harry waved his arms excitedly, "I mean, thanks to Bourne, they went the wrong way."

Dumbledore just smiled. He didn't explain much to the little wizard.

"What happened next? Principal Dumbledore, did you catch Quirrell and Voldemort?" Harry asked excitedly. Dumbledore still shook his head, but just as Harry felt disappointed, he added: "Quirrell died in the Chamber of Secrets in the end. The cause of death was also because Voldemort finally drained all the vitality from his body, but Voldemort's The few remaining souls were eventually wiped out.

In fact, maybe it was because Voldemort attacked you with the Death Curse 11 years ago that a certain connection was established between you and him.

It is precisely because of this that when he was eliminated, you fainted on the spot.

There are a lot of coincidences and complex magical principles, but now I'm afraid no one can figure out the secrets inside. "

Everything Dumbledore said is true:

First of all, the root cause of Quirrell's death was indeed that Voldemort drained his life force - even if his head was chopped off by Bourne, if the treatment is proper and timely enough, an injury like decapitation is not a serious injury to a wizard. Immediately fatal injuries (St. Mungo's has to deal with one or two decapitated people every year due to improper use of Floo powder, or those who split their bodies while practicing Apparition).

Secondly, Voldemort's remnant soul was indeed eliminated. Even if he may have other remnant souls, there is still a possibility of the Dark Lord's resurrection. However, the soul fragment that had the closest connection, or even direct connection, between him and Harry was indeed completely destroyed.

In the end, this connection between Harry and Voldemort was really the result of a lot of coincidence. With the complete disappearance of Voldemort's soul fragment, there are no actual cases to study. It is indeed tantamount to wishful thinking to think about the reasons for this phenomenon.

Dumbledore said this because he thought about it a lot. But the problem is that he missed one thing, that is, Harry Potter didn't think of so many things at all.

When he heard the ending of "all the bad guys got their comeuppance," the child completely ignored the art of Dumbledore's words.

"That's great!" Harry said with joy on his face: "The bad guys lurking in Hogwarts have been punished, and the worst Dark Lord has also been eliminated! For this reason, I just fainted again. It’s worth refilling a few times.”

But unfortunately, Harry's joy did not last long, because Ron and Hermione soon came to visit him in the hospital wing.

Ron brought mixed news:

The bad news is that in the past few days when Harry was in a coma, the Hogwarts Quidditch League had been completed, and the absence of his important seeker made the Gryffindor team almost miss the match several times.

The good news is that Wood mobilized Burne to continue playing as a batsman, while the original batsman George was pulled to fill Harry's position.

Although George has always been trained as a batter, he rushed to serve as a seeker. Naturally, he was not as good as Slytherin's Terrence Higgs and Hufflepuff's "genius student" Cedric.

But Byrne is an extremely good hitter. With the "triple speed", he is like a possession of the legendary Falmouth Falcons hitter Carl Broad, hitting the Bludger with perfect accuracy, almost Bludgers act like precision-guided weapons.

Even Snape, as the referee, severely warned Bourne that he was not allowed to use some "edge" tactics to "beat" other students like other young wizards (he had witnessed Bourne's fight before, so he thought it was very serious). necessary restrictions).

In short, because of the addition of Bourne, just a few minutes before Harry woke up, Gryffindor defeated Slytherin and successfully won the Hogwarts Quidditch League championship!

"They are on their way to the medical wing, and they also know that you have woken up." Ron said to Harry excitedly: "The team members agreed that although you were not able to play in the game, you still need to find this moment of honor. Come celebrate together!"

"This is even better news!"

Harry said with a wide grin. Although it was a bit regretful not to be able to play in the game, he was still proud and excited about Gryffindor's victory at this time.

But if the news that Ron brought was still mixed (more good than bad), then the news that Hermione brought to Harry was pure pressure.

"Two weeks to go!"

Hermione said to Harry seriously: "There are still two weeks left, and the final exam is coming. Professor Flitwick and Dean McGonagall have already started reviewing the exam content in class, and Professor Snape..."

The little witch pursed her lips and sighed softly before continuing: "He is still continuing to talk about new knowledge points, and he also said publicly that all the knowledge points he has talked about will be within the scope of the exam. Considering that Harry, in your current situation, I summarized the key points of the knowledge in Potions and other courses. I feel that if you can understand these notes thoroughly, at least your grades will not fall too far - "

At this point, Hermione took out a thick hard-cover notebook. This was a "condensed content" she made based on the notes she had taken recently, and then used the "Copy Charm" to create a copy. Taste.

"But these notes are two fingers thick!" Harry looked at the notebook and his eyes widened. "It's almost as thick as a textbook!"

"So, Harry, you are pressed for time now!" Hermione put the notebook in Harry's arms very seriously. Harry felt that the thing was pressing down on his chest. "I have already pulled Ron to start. After reviewing, I’ll leave you alone.”

Harry turned to look at his good brother.

And Ron could only respond to him with a helpless expression, which meant very clearly: What can I do, I am helpless?

And just when the brothers and sisters started to have a headache, the door of the hospital wing was suddenly opened from the outside, and some young wizards wearing red and yellow Quidditch uniforms poured in from the door.

"Harry, we win!"

"I knew you wouldn't want to miss this Gryffindor moment!"

"Tell us, what happened to Professor Quirrell?"

"..."

The little wizards yelled at Harry, but they were quickly suppressed by Madam Pomfrey who came out of the office after hearing the noise.

Dumbledore also had the dignity to convince Madam Pomfrey to allow the little lions to come to Harry's bedside, hold the Hogwarts Cup with Harry, and share a precious group photo.
