Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 219 Peter Pettigrew~Danger! ! !
"Think, knock, knock..."

This was certainly not what Bourne felt, but the two spare ball boxes in the Slytherin locker room were opened, and the four chains used to bind the Bludgers inside were also untied one after another.

"Hey hey hey!"

Tom Riddle smiled evilly, as if he had eaten a dozen Soul Palace elders, but the laughter was silent and wordless.

Peter Pettigrew lowered his head and opened the diary in his hand, and saw a paragraph of text floating on it.

"Shout loudly and let the 'elves' that should be flying freely rush into the clouds, and then, with their fiery passion, fall hard to the ground."

There is a saying that Voldemort in his youth had a common problem among teenagers. He had to turn his words into poems before he could speak well.

Of course, Tom Riddle's poem is also a kind of deception.

Falling to the ground... After finally getting the Bludger into the air and accumulating potential energy, how could it possibly fall to the ground?

In fact, while reading this passage, Peter Pettigrew was under a confusion spell, tricked by fragments of his master's past existence.

The next second, this timid guy chanted the flying spell, and four iron balls rushed out of the locker room at extremely fast speeds and hit the top of the clouds.

(There are two Bludgers in Quidditch, and the Slytherin team has two spare ball boxes, so there are four Bludgers in reserve.)
At this time, the commentator Lee Jordan in the stadium audience was shouting:

"Look, everyone, Harry used a beautiful Wronsky fake move! Not only did he deceive the crazy Bludgers that were chasing him and were suspected of being cast by bad Slytherin players..."

"Lee Jordan! Watch your words." Professor McGonagall, who was sitting next to him, scolded him in a low voice, interrupting Lee Jordan's dangerous speech. "Don't use bad words. You are doing Quidditch commentary, aren't you?" Doing something else."

"Uh, okay, Headmaster. I promise not to say the word 'Slytherin' today."

Realizing that his headmaster had only criticized him for swearing, but not for suspecting Slytherin of cheating, Lee Jordan immediately surrendered, and he still did not forget the connotation of Slytherin's sentence.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately started reporting: "...In addition to the Bludger, Harry also made the lame pursuer of the initial 'S' team fall headfirst onto the lawn! Oh yeah! Perfect Wronsky Fake action!"

And just when Lee Jordan was praising Gryffindor, Harry, who had just leveled his broomstick before touching the ground, suddenly turned sideways quickly, as if he was dodging some obstacle.

However, perhaps because of too much dodge, or perhaps because the Firebolt's motion feedback system was too sensitive, the broomstick suddenly turned over.

Harry's shoulder suddenly hit the grass on the ground, and he was dragged on the lawn by the broom for more than ten meters using human brakes before he could stop.

It wasn't until the accident happened that some sharp-eyed spectators in the stands realized that Harry seemed to be avoiding the Bludger just now.

"Merlin's beard! How is that possible? This is a naked foul!" George also landed on the ground, and he could see more clearly from the side.

Previously, this crazy Bludger had been attracted by Harry and crashed into the depths of the lawn, but it actually traveled a certain distance underground, and then broke out of the ground and almost hit Harry's crotch. Crossbow arrows.

No Bludger can do that! Unless the Bludger is actually enchanted.

George quickly ran to Harry's side and saw the latter holding his slumped shoulder in pain, gritting his teeth and sweating profusely.

Mrs. Hooch also rushed down and wanted to give Harry first aid. All the Gryffindors in the stands, including Dean McGonagall, stood up or angrily accused the possible offender (Slater students from the Forestry College), or looking worriedly at the wounded in their own college.

It is precisely because of this that their attention was drawn to the lawn at the bottom of the field, so almost no one noticed that they emerged from the Slytherin Academy locker room and quickly made use of the curtains on the side of the field to cover it. The other four "black spots" rising into the sky.

Except for Bourne who was riding a broom and rushed over the field.

"All turned to stone (psionic lightning version)!"

Seeing four "floating cannonballs" like bludgers, Bourne used his most convenient attack method on them without hesitation.

A bolt of beeping lightning shot out from the wand in his hand, suddenly cracking the sky that was a little gray due to the rain, and then hit the closest Bludger to him.

"boom--!"

The iron projectile exploded immediately, and the fragments were instantly evaporated into molten iron vapor by the hot current, emitting a dazzling brilliance like fireworks. The initial bolt of lightning immediately split into three more subtle forks, like a swimming dragon, and quickly meandered towards the other three bludgers.

Now no one could ignore what was happening in the sky. All the spectators in the stands looked up to the sky, trying to figure out what was going on.

Not only that, some senior wizards who reacted quickly immediately took out their wands when they saw this, always on guard and ready to take action at any time.

Little did they know that their reactions were all expected by the "mastermind" who planned the accident.

"Hey hey hey!"

Tom Riddle chuckled softly in his black leather diary.

"It's a bit surprising - the little wizard who caused a lot of trouble for me in the future last year, the little boy named Bourne from the Slughorn family, he can actually use such an offensive magic - almost... Successfully blocked four Bludgers. But he is not the only one who creates new spells? My flying spell naturally has its own uniqueness. Although the person who cast it is a useless waste..."

Not to mention his sharp comments about Peter Pettigrew, his evaluation of the flying spell he created actually makes some sense, because it is indeed awesome.

The spell created by Tom Riddle when he was in school not only allows people to fly, but also contains very profound magical principles.

Or, the name "Flying Curse" was originally a cover used by Tom to deceive others.

Its principles were, in fact, an outgrowth of Tom's study of the concept of "conflict" in magic.

For example, the confrontation between the killing curse and the soul may tear the soul apart and create fragments of the Horcrux; the relative changes in position may produce different gravity, and then achieve levitation or even flight; the opposition between virtuality and reality may cause It may be possible to make people immune to most physical attacks...

Also, different followers may have different attractions to the direction of the spell due to different viewing angles.

Like anti-radiation missiles.

The few bludgers that have been casted with flying spells are actually able to specifically find nearby sources of magic power (wizards with wands), and then automatically and quickly approach them to launch an attack.

However, this characteristic of finding the source of magic power is not to find strong people, but to find some opponents judged to be suitable.

Commonly known as: picking soft persimmons and pinching them.

When the future Tom Riddle (also known as Voldemort) initially clashed with the Ministry of Magic or other dark wizards, he relied on this flying spell to transform into black mist and always get the upper hand in group attacks.

This moment is also like that moment.

After all, psychic lightning is not real lightning, and the "branches" it separates cannot move at the speed of light.

Therefore, after detecting the magic power fluctuations emitted by the little wizards in the stands who took out their wands and prepared to cast spells, the three bludgers that had not been destroyed actually turned around and flew towards the little wizards. The stand where the wizards were.

If these things hit people, just like before, it would be more intuitive to describe it with a picture——

"This is a really bad move." Realizing that the situation was not good, Bourne couldn't help but cursed in his mind.

(Ruth: Are you polite?)
At the same time, he was still riding on the broomstick and suddenly jumped off the broomstick, which also caused many people in the stands to exclaim.

Some senior students wanted to use the "Deceleration and Shock Absorbing Charm" to save him, but as soon as they raised their hands, they found that Bourne's figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air.

Although the entire Hogwarts Castle has been subject to anti-Apparition spells, this restriction only extends as far as the outer walls of the castle, and does not extend all the way to the Quidditch pitch. So, Bourne is able to apparate here.

Although the flying speed of the bludger is fast, it cannot be faster than the bullets of the bolt gun. His eyes saw its trajectory, and Bourne's brain immediately calculated where it would land. With a crisp blast of air, Bourne appeared in front of Colin Creevey, a first-year Gryffindor student.

At this time, the little wizard was holding a magic camera with both hands - this thing was recognized by Tom Riddle's flying spell to detect magic fluctuations, and the evaluation was relatively weak - therefore, a Bludger was aimed at this The little boy's head flew over.

"Shh-!"

As soon as the teleportation state was released, Bourne reached out and pulled out the chain sword from the deformed lizard wallet. He raised the sword and slashed down, cutting the iron ball in front of him into two pieces of scrap metal in one go. The wood fell on the stand. above the floor.

To deal with this kind of incompetent magical thing, Bourne still subconsciously used the chain sword because it usually won't go wrong.

And just when he was about to apparate again and intercept the other two bludgers, some of the better students at Hogwarts also reacted.

For example, Hufflepuff's well-deserved genius student, Cedric, is currently the boys prefect.

In fact, Cedric was also the first senior student to see Bourne flying over the field, and was the first senior student to raise his wand when he jumped off the broomstick, preparing to use the "Deceleration and Shock Absorbing Charm" to save others.

While others were either shocked at how Bourne "teleported" to the stands (they didn't know about the Apparition spell), or how a second-year student learned the Apparition spell, Cedric Dee Ge was the first student to pick up the wand and cast the spell.

"vera verto (rapid transformation)!"

Cedric casually threw away the hard-cover notebook in his hand, which was a technical analysis of Gryffindor and Slytherin that he had written down while enjoying the game.

Under the influence of the Transformation Spell, the notebook turned into a peregrine falcon in mid-air, swooped out dozens of meters away, and hit another one flying towards the stands with lightning speed. of out-of-control bludgers.

"Bam—!"

Cedric used the transformation technique to create a peregrine falcon that was no different from a real peregrine falcon. It was equally astonishingly fast, so the kinetic energy it contained immediately clashed with the out-of-control bludger, offsetting the latter's momentum. .

The peregrine falcon was blown up in the air and turned into a ball of shaggy feathers that rustled down and soon became a pile of waste paper on the ground.

The out-of-control Bludger also lost its momentum and fell onto the stands. Although it seemed to be ready to take off, there were other little wizards with quick hands and eyes nearby, who immediately held it firmly down with the textbooks in their hands, preventing it from moving at all.

Why do some people bring textbooks to Quidditch matches?

Well, this is easy to explain, because the seats in the stands here are basically filled with young wizards from Ravenclaw Academy.

The target of the out-of-control Bludger was a little witch with an Asian face. Her name was Qiu Zhang, and she was the current seeker of Ravenclaw. Only then did she realize what she had almost experienced just now. Therefore, the little witch couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Cedric.

At this time, there is only one Bludger left on the field. However, the target it chose to attack was not the little wizard in the stands (precisely because of this, it was ignored by many people), but penetrated the embroidered grid hanging on the fence next to the playing field. A large piece of silk cloth with a Lanffindor lion pattern was hidden and hit a wooden pillar used to support the stands. However, no one heard the impact until the end.

An old hand holding a wand with clear joints and wearing several magic rings opened the silk cloth with a large hole.

Dumbledore came out.

In the other hand of the old headmaster, he held a wizard's hat full of pudding. The inside of this hat is bulging, like a child who ate a big strawberry in one bite but didn't swallow it.

"This kind of magic has a strange flavor. It's very special. I seem to have tried it before..."

Yes, this hat is the Sorting Hat. It not only sings, but also speaks eloquently.

And when the Sorting Hat finished saying this, it was like spitting out something unpleasant, and it spit out the Bludger it had caught with its own ability on the lawn with a "pop" like spitting out a core. .

This round iron ball seemed to have been polished, and even the layer of black paint on the surface had been eaten away by the Sorting Hat.

"...Also, that guy cast this spell. I'm very impressed with him." The Sorting Hat said to Dumbledore. Only Dumbledore could hear its voice: "He is comparable to Little Greg." Son and Flitwick gave me even more headaches, and my conversation with him even lasted close to 15 minutes! If it weren't for his deliberate request and for the sake of continuing the sorting process, I would never have sorted him into Gryffindor. To this day, I still think I was right.”

The "him" the Sorting Hat refers to is Peter Pettigrew, a rare student with difficulty in sorting.

Sorting is an old term used to describe a type of student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The sorting process for these students takes more than five minutes because the Sorting Hat believes that their personality traits are suitable for several different houses at Hogwarts at the same time. To solve this problem, the Sorting Hat sometimes takes the student's personal preferences into consideration.

Real students with difficulty in sorting are rare and only appear once every 50 years or so, but students who are close to becoming students with difficulty in sorting are more common.

The Sorting Hat has recently encountered two students with difficulty in sorting. One is the current Dean McGonagall, and the other is Peter Pettigrew.

When Professor McGonagall entered Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat spent a full five and a half minutes weighing it up. It had been hesitating between the two houses of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but in the end it was Chosen the former.

Professor Flitwick is exactly the opposite of Professor McGonagall (the wizard dueling champion really almost was sorted into Gryffindor), but because the final decision took less than five minutes, Professor Flitwick was only "close to sorting" Difficulties arise."

As for Peter Pettigrew, he left a particularly deep impression on the Sorting Hat. From a certain point of view, the situation Pettigrew encountered when he was sorted was quite similar to Harry Potter, but the Sorting Hat did not recognize that he was suitable for Gryffindor (Harry Potter went to Slytherin and Gryffindor). Fendo actually works).

Dumbledore didn't want to say more about the Sorting Hat's opinion of Peter Pettigrew. He just wanted to know the answer to one question.

"Where is he hiding? He dared to attack Hogwarts students with Bludgers. He went too far..."

The old wizard was really angry.

Murdering Hogwarts students in public was something that even Tom Riddle did not dare to do back then. Dumbledore's patience had exceeded the limit.

The Sorting Hat could sense the strong emotions of the great warlock, so it immediately stopped chatting. Just like when it followed its true master, Gryffindor, at this moment, it reincarnated into a wise magic hat.

"He should be..."

The Sorting Hat fumbled around, and finally, a pair of eye-shaped folds on the hat came to a focus.

"...the Slytherin dressing room."

After receiving the Sorting Hat's answer, Dumbledore waved his sleeves, and the next second his figure appeared around the stands of the Slytherin House.

At the same time, several Aurors who had arrived to take control at the top of the stadium also noticed the old principal's moving position.

"Attention, move closer to the Slytherin team... locker room," Kingsley ordered several Aurors under his command.

They are connected to each other with a gold coin that has been transformed. The portrait side of the gold coin will display the speaker's avatar and simultaneously relay the speaker's words.

"It's a familiar part." Tonks was a little excited, and she slapped her colleague Delis with her arm.

The latter also shrugged his shoulders and moved his wrists and ankles as he had done on the Quidditch pitch - this was a sign that he was preparing to fight.

Aurors, nine out of ten, are basically from Gryffindor.

Most of these former little lions who are willing (or qualified) to work as Aurors in the Ministry of Magic have participated in some hands-on activities in school.

And even if he/she is not a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, he/she has probably left some memories of sweat and magic on the Quidditch field. Raiding the Slytherin team's locker room is almost a common memory for these Gryffindor-born Aurors.

"I did a lot of work back then!" Delis was ready and said casually: "Don't forget, there are two back doors in the Slytherin locker room!"

Then, the young and strong Auror turned over and climbed down the wooden scaffolding from the top of the stadium. He was so skilled that it made people feel that he had practiced it before (he had actually practiced it). His target was a hidden back door to the Slytherin team's locker room. It's hidden inside the scaffolding. If they hadn't had the experience of intercepting members of the Slytherin team many times, ordinary little wizards would never know this secret.
