Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 220 Not all mice are called Jerry
When the Sorting Hat confirmed the magic wave and then followed it to find his hiding place, the word "danger" on Peter Pettigrew's head almost turned into reality. He has felt great crisis and great terror.

"run!"

Pettigrew made his decision immediately.

His extreme fear even caused him to ignore Tom Riddle's bewitchment, directly abandon the Horcrux diary and transform into a mouse.

"The mouse pulls the wooden wedge" or something like that is just a witticism. In a life-or-death situation, the mouse would not care about it.

This made Tom Riddle very angry.

But he can't "say" anything yet, because any rash action he makes now may become a draw for the attention of an old man with a white beard.

"This is just a tactical hibernation."

Comforting himself in his heart, Tom honestly played the role of an ordinary black leather diary. Of course, unlike Peter Pettigrew's case, he definitely didn't do it out of fear.

Well, absolutely!

Let’s just believe it.

Because now everyone's attention is on Peter Pettigrew.

(Peter: Family, who knows? I am just a substitute for this diary. I only helped it release several flying spells, but I just almost killed several young wizards in front of Dumbledore. )
Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard in history, a team of elite Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, Professor McGonagall who is about to go berserk, and a chosen time traveler who is familiar with the "chainsaw-bolter dialectic"...

Invariably, they all joined in the rat-catching operation.

"Apparition is prohibited here."

Dumbledore waved the Elder Wand and issued an order as the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

In an instant, the power of the most powerful magic castle in the real world spread over, including the Quidditch pitch within the scope of the anti-Apparition curse.

However, this also resulted in Bourne having to stop the transmission as soon as he started.

"Can you tell me what you want to do in advance?" After a small beep, Bourne immediately raised his hand to use another magic spell.

"Flying broomstick~Come here!"

("Firebolt~ coming!")
Coincidentally, he and his dean came up with something, except that Bourne summoned the broom customized by his grandfather Horace, while Professor McGonagall summoned Harry's Firebolt that was still on the field.

"Because the seekers of both teams were injured and left the field, the game was temporarily suspended. All players immediately landed in the audience seats. The prefects of each college asked the students of your respective colleges to stay in the stands and not move, waiting for the deans of each college. subsequent arrangements."

As the standing principal of Hogwarts, after taking off, Professor McGonagall used the "Loud Voice Curse" to give instructions to all the young wizards in the room.

Bourne became the only little wizard circling on a broomstick in the entire arena. He was looking for Peter Pettigrew with eyes sharper than an eagle.

As for Kingsley and his team members, this group of Aurors who can rush and fight were actually the first people to rush into the Slytherin team's locker room.

"Peter Pettigrew! You have the right to remain silent. But you must know that every word you say at this time may become evidence against you in the Wizengamot court, so...hey, where are the people? ?”

Just like the Muggle police in the UK, when chasing a target, the Aurors must shout out this declaration in advance.

Of course, this traditional style is now only followed by Kingsley and the relatively disciplined Auror team he leads.

Some of the other Auror teams have personally experienced Voldemort's raging period, and some have received training under the previous Auror mentor "Mad Eye" Moody, so they generally don't abide by this rule.

When dealing with dark wizards, they generally don't use witchcraft. They just take out their wands when they meet and use "empty the magazine" to output magic spells.

However, perhaps because of the consideration that this situation might be exposed in front of young wizards, Director Scrimgeour of the Auror Office sent the Kingsley team to Hogwarts for the sake of the image of the Ministry of Magic and the Auror Department.

However, Kingsley shouted the declaration, but he did not see the pudgy figure he expected in the locker room.

"Attention Delix, block the back door of the Slytherin locker room!" He quickly cast a spell and used the "intercom gold coin" to give instructions to the team members.

At the same time, Delis, who was climbing the scaffolding on the outside of the court, also felt a faint warmth in the parts of his clothes pockets close to his body.

He landed on a hidden wooden platform with his feet, pointed the wand at the wall of the court in front of him with one hand, and took out the "Intercom Gold Coin" from his pocket with the other hand to read the instructions clearly.

"Of course, I'm a professional at poking Slytherin's back door."

Then, just like he had done when he was in school, he cast the Alajo Opening spell on the snake-like pattern that seemed to be drawn with chalk on the wall.

A hole suddenly appeared on the wall of the stadium, and the next second, Deluxe ducked into it.

Tonks, who was rushing in from the main entrance with Kingsley from outside, was now in high spirits, and she and her mentor rushed into the locker room alternately from left to right according to the requirements in the "Auror Tactical Manual".

Unlike Gryffindor's locker room, Slytherin's locker room obviously put a lot of extra thought into the decoration. Although the space inside is not very large, many places are actually decorated with sculptures and expensive silk fabrics.

In other words, there are many blind spots here. Therefore, Kingsley and Tonks, the master and apprentice, chose a steady and steady search method. It took more than a minute to search the team's locker room, which was less than 50 square meters.

However, after using violent lock-picking spells to blow up several players' lockers, in addition to a few "Welfare Picture Albums of the Beautiful Witches of the Twentieth Century", "The Love Stories of Madame Zabini", and what seemed to be Muggle Apart from the "banned books" called "Playboy" that had been circulated, the two Aurors could not find anything else related to violations of discipline.

"What is all this?"

Tonks threw a crumpled picture album onto a bench aside, and it happened to be covered with a black leather diary. There was something vaguely suspicious about the picture album, which made the female Auror feel... Somewhat disgusting.

"There's actually a name on it - Marcus Flint - this unlucky kid doesn't know whether to say he's stupid or that there's something wrong with his brain."

Kingsley didn't pay attention to these things, and he had no time to care about the "poisonous weeds" that would definitely poison the students of Slytherin House. He just frowned and nervously cast one after another of the Auror Department's unique detection spells.

"There is no magic residue from the Illusion Curse, and the dye magic that detects the invisibility cloak does not respond. There is no traceless expansion spell here..."

He quickly analyzed the situation.

"...Excluding these possibilities, the only remaining possibility is that Peter Pettigrew did slip out through the back door."

Thinking of this, Kingsley immediately used the "intercom gold coin" to contact Delis who was responsible for blocking the back door, wanting to know the situation on his side.

However, he asked twice in a row, but Delis did not give him a reply.

And counting the time, no matter how winding the hidden back door was, Delis should have joined them by now.

"No, we have to go support Delis. He may be in danger."

Thinking of this, Kingsley quickly kicked open the iron locker leaning against the wall. When the cabinet fell down, a hole in the wall behind it was revealed that could allow a person to pass through. This was the back door of the locker room made by an unknown generation of Quidditch players before Slytherin Academy.

"Delix! How are you?" Kingsley shouted, but still received no response.

Seeing this, he only had time to leave a message to Tonks, "Look behind me." Then he took his wand and got into the back entrance of the dressing room.

A ball of light burst out from Kingsley's palm, which was the light similar to an LED light that burst out after the "Lomos" spell took effect.

Using it to illuminate him, Kingsley squatted on the ground and crawled toward the cave like a crab crawling. Finally, after moving more than ten meters away, at a corner intersection, he saw his junior colleague who had fallen to the ground.

"Delix..."

Kingsley was cautious, but also quickly checked Delis's injuries. Fortunately, he found that the young man was only knocked unconscious from behind, rather than being affected by some vicious black magic.

When Kingsley used a healing spell to wake him up, Delis endured the vomiting sensation caused by a slight concussion and hurriedly reported the situation to the leader in front of him.

He was careless just now and didn't dodge.

When entering from the back door of the Slytherin locker room, he forgot to cast an iron armor spell on himself. As a result, Peter Pettigrew, who turned into a mouse, touched his back in the dark, and then the guy picked up a brick on the ground. Hit in the head.

"That guy ran out of the back door, damn, ugh..." Delis said intermittently, "...he must have run towards the Forbidden Forest. The back door of the Slytherin locker room is facing the Forbidden Forest. He only has You can take this road, but you can only take this road to escape!"

"Hold on," Kingsley comforted the young man and told him not to get too excited, regardless of his wizard robe being soaked by Delis' vomit. "Tonks will be here soon. She will take you to Hogwart." Let’s take a look at the hospital wing here first, and if it doesn’t work, go to St. Mungo’s.”

"Oh, ugh... what about you... we are all gone, you want to chase him yourself?" Delis disagreed with the arrangement of his superiors.

However, time was running out and Kingsley obviously would not give him a chance to object.

After helping him sit down by the wall of the passage, Kingsley immediately rushed to the exit of the passage alone. He was indeed preparing to chase the fugitive himself.

However, what he didn't know was that things didn't have to be so troublesome.

Because even though Peter Pettigrew knocked down Doulus, he successfully ran out of the back exit of the Slytherin team's locker room, and in just ten seconds passed about the distance between the Quidditch pitch and the Forbidden Forest. He walked over a section of grassland for more than a hundred meters, but before running into the Forbidden Forest, he accidentally encountered his natural enemy.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

("Get away, damn wildcat!")
Peter Pettigrew, who transformed into a big fat mouse, stood up on his two hind feet, made a snarling expression, and then screamed briefly and shrilly.

Just when he was about to enter the Forbidden Forest, a black one came out of the Forbidden Forest first, barely scaring him to death on the spot while he was running on the ground.

Of course, Peter Pettigrew was simply frightened, not really afraid of a wild cat.

Although his Animagus form is that of a mouse, he is still essentially an adult wizard and has no reason to be afraid of cats.

After all, it was just a cat, at most a wild cat, not a lynx or a golden cat. If there really was a fight, Peter Pettigrew was sure to kill the black cat in front of him in a few strokes, just like how he had killed the owl, which was also a natural enemy of mice.

In fact, animals generally have sharper perceptions than humans. He thought that the black cat in front of him would run away on his own if he scared him.

However, what he didn't expect was that after being intimidated by Peter Pettigrew, instead of turning around and running away, the black cat even looked at him with interest.

The look wasn't looking at the food, but like a child looking at a toy.

Peter Pettigrew suddenly felt furious.

Immediately afterwards, he disappeared from the spot, ran to the side of the big black cat in an instant, and then jumped up and pounced on its back.

His long teeth poked out and bit the back of the black cat's neck, but the latter didn't seem to care.

To be honest, just seeing this, this cat's agility really embarrasses its peers who are famous for their agility.

However, you can't just look at half of things. Sometimes it's really hard to tell who has the advantage until the end.

When Peter Pettigrew bit the black cat, it suddenly turned into two identical black cats. Only then did Peter Pettigrew realize that the cat in front of him was not an ordinary wild cat, but a magical animal that he did not recognize.

"Damn it, you're cheating!"

Peter Pettigrew, who was thrown out, rolled and then rolled into a bush at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Out of caution, he decided to use the cover of the bushes to transform into a wizard, and then use a spell to kill the weird magical animal in front of him - so that he dared to continue escaping into the Forbidden Forest.

"Reducto!"

The spell hit its mark, and it had its effect: the two black cats were torn apart...

Then, six or seven identical big black cats suddenly appeared near the bushes, and they all opened their eyes that had been squinted before.

Their eyes are white, and when fully opened, they are round and large, as if there are two quail eggs embedded in a cat's face.

(One of the earliest settings of the Madago cat in the movie is that it has a human-like posture and can even smoke and drink coffee.)
Unlike wild cats that like to fight alone, but like wolves hunting, these big black cats began to circle around and get closer to Peter Pettigrew.

The big cat in the middle also stood up on its two hind legs, taking a true "cat walk" and swinging its two forelimbs with long claws, silently exerting pressure on Peter Pettigrew.

"You, you, don't come here!" Peter Pettigrew pointed his wand at the big cats, but after gesturing left and right several times, he still wasn't sure which big cat he was going to point his wand at.

And just when he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and was about to use the "Avada Big Melon" fiercely on him, a big black cat suddenly pounced from behind him - exactly the same as his sneak attack on Delis. ——He opened his mouth and bit his wrist, while his two front paws kept scratching his arms.

"Ah, ah, ah...!"

Peter Pettigrew screamed in pain, and for a moment he couldn't even worry about his situation, whether he would be caught up by the Aurors and Hogwarts professors.

This kind of cat seems to have some magical power. Its scratching and biting can bring great pain to humans, which is only slightly worse than the Cruciatus Curse.

A clone restricted Peter Pettigrew's spellcasting ability, and the rest of the Madago cats followed suit, "hanging" on the pudgy man's body, and the heavy burden even pushed him directly to the ground.

And just when they showed their ferocity and were about to extend their claws to Peter Pettigrew's throat, a cat meowed suddenly from an acacia tree not far away.

"Meow-!"

Although this cat meow sounds a bit lazy, it is extremely effective. At least for Madago cats, this is the order of their boss.

Ryan, who has a golden gradient skin of the same style, is lying on a branch. He has just been watching the "fighting" under the tree to relieve his boredom.

If Bourne hadn't used a pet contract to tell it to come here to intercept a big mouse, it would still be wandering deep in the Forbidden Forest with its little brother, hunting those that suddenly appeared during this period. A large Acromantula to train the Madago cat’s fighting ability.

Catching mice is obviously what Ruth should do. A strong and cute cat like him should use spiders as toys.

(Ruth: Are you polite?)
"Okay, that's enough for the little fish tonight." Perhaps feeling Ryan's resentment, Bourne promptly said a reward when riding his broomstick past the branch where Ryan was lying. "Both you and that Madago have a share. Each of you has a bag of dried fish."

After hearing this, Ryan felt that it was not completely meaningless to come over and do a small favor for the shit shovel officer.

It even started to think about it: If it was like "one person, one bag" as Bourne said, then it should beat Madago violently and let the latter transform into more than a dozen; anyway, Madago is so thin and can't eat much. , leave a bag for it, and take the rest back... Well, save it for Madago first.

Bourne didn't care about Ryan's little thoughts. After all, what evil intentions could a cat have? He landed directly on the ground, using his hands and feet to drive away the Madago "cat blanket" spread on Peter Pettigrew. He couldn't let this guy die here.

"Tell me, why are you provoking Madago Cat? Not all cats are Tom, and not all mice can be called Jerry."

Bourne kicked the wand away from Peter Pettigrew, and at this moment, Kingsley Shacklebolt also rushed to the side of the Forbidden Forest.
