Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 197 Return to Hogwarts
Living in the hospital and living at home are definitely two different feelings.

Therefore, although he was a wizard, Horace, who was quite in line with the British tradition in terms of hedonism, soon couldn't stand it anymore.

He cast a spell and tested himself for any side effects of the poison - which shocked the healers at St. Mungo's, most of whom were Hogwarts graduates who had never expected to leave the school. After so many years, I was able to learn something from this old professor.

Then, Horace asked the hard-working house elf Momo to take his place, and quickly completed all the procedures for leaving the hospital.

I can't stand it anymore.

As Horace was discharged from the hospital, Bourne naturally lost the opportunity to go out to "get some fresh air" from time to time, and could only follow his grandfather back to his hometown in Scotland.

Originally, Bourne had already read in the Daily Prophet: "Mrs. Zabini and others were tried and sentenced to Azkaban to serve their sentences", "The Dominatrix Reform Committee was vigorously criticized by Minister Fudge, Magic The Ministry of Education banned this evil organization in order to bring order to the chaos and bring peace to the wizarding world."

He had actually made plans to go to Beihai, take a good look at the legendary Hogwarts Institute for Advanced Training for Dark Wizards, and then give a ride to those indulgent old hags.

After all, the dementors might eat them as food, but that could be on the day of imprisonment or long in the future.

Out of "respect" for a certain subspace entity, Bourne felt that it would be better to eliminate the old hags who were "perverted" under his influence as quickly as possible.

As for whether the dementors guarding Azkaban would allow him to do that, or whether those dark magic creatures would attack Bourne...

They are not human beings anyway, and if we treat them as aliens, everything will be easy to understand.

The loyal chain sword in his hand was actually thirsty for a long time. In other words, it is always ready to "chop, chop, chop".

However, because Horace disrupted the St. Mungo's therapist's stay in hospital for observation, Bourne's half-day trip to the North Sea was temporarily postponed.

Hey, why is it a "half-day tour"?

This is actually because——

"Bam—!"

With a not-so-slight explosion of air, Bourne's figure appeared in an alley next to George Square in Glasgow.

The Slughorn family's big house is like "hidden in the city", hidden at the end of this alley.

"Merlin's beard!"

Horace looked at his little grandson in surprise. He had known before that this child was very talented (after all, he was a descendant of the Slughorn family), and his acting style was quite bold and radical (he also knew that Bourne used He thought that the Hydra's bombardment of Mrs. Zabini's seaside estate might be because the child was too young, so he was unknowingly affected after being sorted into Gryffindor House. He felt that when the child grew up, It will be fine when you grow up, it’s not a big deal).

However, Horace still did not expect that Bourne would learn the Apparition spell at the age of 11.

"Who taught you how to apparate? If there are no professionals watching over you, it would be very dangerous if an accident occurs during practice!"

After a brief surprise, Horace immediately switched to the attitude a normal grandfather should have towards his grandson. He questioned Bourne a little angrily.

You know, personally teaching his grandson to apparate was an important matter that Horace had long put on his list of future plans.

It turned out that someone had gotten there first.

This is absolutely abominable.

Horace thought in an instant. Even if Burne used the name "Dumbledore", he would still have to send a roaring letter to the old man.

Otherwise, he would find an opportunity to put a curse on the old man or boil some magic potion to make his sweets taste the same for at least a month...

"Grandpa Nick Flamel taught me that."

Bourne replied obediently.

“When you were in the hospital two days ago, I wrote several letters to him and consulted on some matters about magic portraits.

You know, he is the only great alchemist living today, and he is the best person to ask for advice on magic items.

However, when I was sending the letter, I 'accidentally' stuffed a freshly written History of Magic summer assignment into the envelope.

In that assignment, regarding the historical event of the Goblin Rebellion, I proposed that they might have used the Disapparation Charm to sneak into and out of the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade unnoticed.

Since house elves can apparate, and orbs have a similar talent, I guess goblins might have a way to do this too.

As a result, Grandpa Nick read my paper and wrote a lot of comments on it.

He explained to me in detail the causes and consequences of the invention of the Apparition Curse, and then explained some of the different methods used by wizards in different eras and countries to learn the Apparition Curse, as well as many counter-spells and counter-curses to the Apparition Curse. Branching spells, etc.

Oh, by the way, he also sent me some ball escaper feathers.

He told me that when wizards in France were learning how to apparate, many of them liked to pin two feathers from evasion birds on their hats.

The French believe that this can bring good luck, and when learning the Apparition Spell, doing so can reduce the possibility of splitting..."

After listening to what Bourne said incessantly, although Horace felt that the explanation given by his grandson was quite reasonable, he felt that the panic in his heart was really blocked.

If Dumbledore really taught Bourne such a dangerous spell, then he would have just made some trouble for the old man.

But the key point is that it was Nick Flamel who taught Bourne - that was an old man who knew both Grandpa Horace's grandfather, and he did not dare to take advantage of his age to be reckless with Nick Flamel - it was very There is nothing you can do against the other party.

Therefore, Horace, who was feeling angry but couldn't show too much concern on his face, could only ask the house elf Momo to prepare today's dinner on the spot.

"I've decided on the main dish for dinner, and I'm going to eat fried escaping birds. I remember that there seemed to be several of them on board the Hydra.

There is not much use in raising that kind of magical animal. It will disappear by itself at some point. If you keep it for a long time, it will be a waste of food. "

At the same time, a certain ball escape bird that was eating leisurely also happened to raise its head in confusion: "???"

In this way, after having a luxurious meal, Bourne was at home living his only three weeks of summer vacation.

During this period, he didn't even go to Diagon Alley to buy things he needed for the next semester. Instead, he let the house elf Momo do it for him.

Because Horace arranged some holiday courses for him-after attending Hogwarts, even if he crossed an age dividing line, Horace felt that it was time for some of the Slughorn family's book collections to be opened to Bourne. . Therefore, during this time, Bourne was either taking potions classes, doing potion experiments, or independently brewing some potions that were dangerous and complicated for most adult wizards.

It wasn't until the first day of school that Bourne walked out of the house again and used Apparition to reach King's Cross Station in London.
-
"I'm really blocked..."

Ron patted his chest fearfully, as if to relieve his mood from the accident that happened not long ago.

Harry Potter, who was sitting next to him, was once again in sync with his good friend, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He and Ron almost vomited just now.

Ever since the twins and Ron took him to the Burrow, he had spent the rest of his summer vacation at the Weasley's.

Life at the Burrow was very different from life at Privet Drive. The Dursleys like everything to be in order, but the Weasleys are full of magic and surprises.

The mirror on their kitchen mantelpiece startled Harry. When he looked in the mirror for the first time, the mirror suddenly shouted: "Tuck your shirt into your pants, you are so sloppy!"

There is a ghoul locked in the attic of the Burrow. Whenever it feels that the home is too quiet, it howls loudly and occasionally bangs on the pipes.

A few small explosions in Fred and George's bedroom were considered completely normal...

But in Harry's opinion, the most unusual thing about Ron's life was not the talking mirrors or the knocking ghouls, but that everyone here seemed to like him very much.

Harry felt that the month he spent at the Burrow must be the happiest time of his life.

And he couldn't help but feel jealous of Ron when he thought about the Dursleys and how he might be treated the next time he returned to Privet Drive.

Yesterday, on the last night of her stay at the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley conjured up a sumptuous dinner, all of which were Harry's favorite foods. The last dish was honey pudding that made people drool at the sight of it.

After dinner, the night was completed by Fred and George's elaborate firework display - the kitchen was filled with red and blue stars that bounced from ceiling to wall for at least half an hour. .

After enjoying themselves, everyone drank a cup of hot chocolate and went to bed.

It took a long time to get started this morning, even though they were up as soon as the rooster crow, it still seemed like there was a lot to do.

For example, Mrs. Weasley was irritated as she rushed around looking for spare socks and quilts; everyone kept bumping into each other on the stairs, half-dressed and holding a bit of leftover bread. When Mr. Weasley was carrying Ginny's suitcase to the car, he tripped over a chicken in the yard and almost broke his neck...

This year is the day when the youngest Weasley child, Ginny, officially goes to Hogwarts.

Therefore, including Harry, their family seemed busier than in previous years.

The car that I was sitting in had some interior modifications made by Mr. Weasley during the summer vacation - mainly using a spell that Harry didn't know about (that is, the constant invisible expansion spell) to expand the interior of the car. There was enough space for a total of eight of them and six huge boxes to be packed into the Ford Anglia. They flew all the way from the Burrow to London, and then landed safely on the crowded street outside the station.

After entering the station, Percy and the twins quickly walked into Platform 9 by themselves. Percy is a prefect. He must get on the bus in advance and go to the prefects' special carriage to attend a regular prefect meeting hosted by the Head Boy and Student Council. The twins were making a bet that their brother must be going to meet his girlfriend Penello, so they quickly followed him secretly.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley stood on the left and right respectively to protect Ginny, who was a little scared, and entered the platform side by side.

So when it was Harry and Ron's turn, they had to push the cart in by themselves.

But at that moment, an accident happened: the two people went one after the other, "bang, bang" twice, and both carts hit the wall, and then bounced back from the thick brick wall.

Ron's trunk hit the ground hard, Harry was carried forward and fell to the ground; Hedwig's cage bounced to the polished floor and rolled aside; Hedwig screamed angrily. Many people gathered around them to watch, and a guard nearby shouted: "What on earth are you doing?"

Harry gasped, clutching his ribs as he climbed to his feet, using his words and childishness to deal with the angry-looking guard.

Ron ran to pick up the cage containing Hedwig, who was still making a lot of noise there, causing many onlookers to accuse them of animal cruelty.

None of this is important, but what is important is that in less than a few minutes, the Hogwarts Express will actually start driving.

They carefully pushed the cart against the wall and pushed it forward against the wall with all their strength, but the partition wall between the platforms did not move at all.

Fortunately, just when the two little wizards were sweating profusely and feeling panicked and at a loss, Bourne appeared behind them.

He arrived a little late.

Although like last year, his Grandpa Horace still only sent him to the door of the station instead of to the edge of the platform, but Bourne is not like Harry and Ron who only blindly hit the wall (and can't hit it). Little wizard.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

Bourne cast an unlocking spell on the wall.

Then, the "door" in front of them that had been locked for unknown reasons was reopened, and the three little wizards entered Platform 9 one after another.

In the sound of the steam locomotive's whistle before departure, the three of them boarded the train bound for Hogwarts.

Because time was so tight, when he got on the bus, Bourne even simply threw the three trolleys and the luggage on them into the bus.

In his hurry, he also forgot to use the levitation spell.

As a result, under the "extreme contempt" gaze of a dwarf conductor, they carried their luggage and walked through several carriages before finding Hermione's box, and Harry and Ron sat in it.

Bourne declined their offers to squeeze in and walked forward with his suitcase, because he had made an appointment with the twins in advance, and the latter would reserve an empty seat for him in the car.

"Why did you come?"

In a carriage that was almost full of senior Gryffindor students, Bourne finally saw the twins standing on the aisle waving to him.

Unsurprisingly, compared to the carriages in which the lower grades were seated, the compartments in this carriage, which concentrated the middle and upper grades of Gryffindors, were basically empty—students were almost all gathering in the aisle to chat.

Bourne felt that this scene was exactly the same as when he took the Hogwarts Express for the first time last year. And when Bourne packed his suitcase and joined the party in the corridor, he noticed that the Gryffindor "program" at Hogwarts this year was very similar to last year. It's still Lee Jordan doing the trick.

However, this interesting little black wizard was not showing off his "big baby" (bag spider) this time, but was talking about Rap in the carriage.

"Hey, we are friends..."
