Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

To be honest, Bourne was actually quite curious about the "all-out attack of the Queen of Glory".

However, given his understanding of the world of Harry Potter, he felt that the firepower of this magical three-masted battleship might be a little insufficient: it had no macro cannon for vertical launch, and no melta cannon for electromagnetic cannon...

It feels pretty tasteless.

Therefore, he finally gave up that crazy idea, took the things he needed, and walked onto the gangplank on the side of the ship.

"It's just a speed contest, but you have to turn it into a potion contest... Can't you just bite a lighter if you don't have anything to do?"

Bourne complained in his mind.

He didn't know that his complaints would lead to some Muggles doing even worse than wizards in Muggle sports competitions several years later.

He really has no shame at all.

After Bourne stepped onto the gangplank, he quickly lit the fire and set up the crucible.

The side of the ship was three or four stories above the sea, and it was sailing at full sail at a speed of nearly 15 or 16 knots, and the sea was bumpy...

In short, the first challenge that the young wizards participating in the Potions Championship have to face is to keep their balance on the springboard and not fall off before they can brew the potion.

Because Bourne had lived on the planet Fenris, he had experienced some real storms.

Therefore, he just used a simple "sticking spell" to fix the crucible and the fire source to ensure that they would not fall off the diving board.

As for himself, although he was standing on a springboard nearly ten meters away from the side of the ship, he was still able to maintain his balance with his physical fitness.

However, not everyone can be like him. The little wizard from the Neon Magic Institute ran into trouble at this initial stage.

Because the young wizard was afraid to walk on the springboard, he took a different approach and took out a cherry wood broom, carrying his cauldron and potion materials, and wanted to fly to the far end of the springboard and land.

Unfortunately, however, because he was carrying too many things, he tripped when he got off the broom and fell directly off the flying broom.

Even though the little wizard tried to grab the broom, he failed because his arms were too weak...

By the time the referee team used magic to "fish" the little wizard out, his cauldron and potion materials had all fallen into the sea, and he was immediately disqualified from the competition. It was truly a tragic one-round tour.

A professor named Neon, who was sent by the magic institute to attend the opening ceremony, raised an objection, but his objection was ineffective, so he could only angrily take the dejected little wizard away with the portkey.

When leaving, the Japanese professor kept chattering about some strange words like "millipede" and "spirit infusion stick".

However, with the precedent of this little neon wizard, no one else fell into the sea.

Even the Brazilian wizard Libasio Pollachi, who was a little afraid of heights, used Transfiguration to conjure up a rope, then tied a safety rope to the springboard and tied one end around his waist. He then carefully moved to the edge of the springboard step by step and set up a stove.

The others basically did something similar, using ropes or "sticking spells" to keep them stable.

In addition to Bourne, there was also the contestant from Durmstrang, Haramund Gregorovitch. Since his physical fitness was indeed much stronger than the other young wizards, he only used Transfiguration to conjure a pair of spiked shoes, put them on and stood at the end of the springboard.

The potion tournament began, and he prepared two potions for himself: one for a real speed contest, and the other to guard against possible attacks. After all, Principal Nelida Vokhanova also said that you don't have to be faster than others in this competition, you can advance by killing others.

The offensive (defensive) potion he prepared for himself was very simple to make, because the recipe was invented by him on a whim when he was attending a potion improvement class during the summer vacation.

As the inventor of the formula and out of his interest in it, he made a lot of semi-finished potions during the summer vacation - they only needed to be heated slightly and then allowed to cool down on their own.

The "pre-made potion" he prepared was the "Chocolate Barking Toad" which he accidentally invented during the final exam of the Advanced Potions Class. It was equivalent to the power of a small (several "small"s omitted here) Catachan Barking Toad.

People don't offend me, I don't offend people.

Bourne could promise that he would not be the first to use this terrible potion on other young wizards, but if someone went too far with him, he would not mind letting everyone feel the same terrifying explosion from Catachan that he had felt before.

Anyway, this potion also has a corresponding antidote. As long as the creatures affected by the explosion are not completely dissolved by the terrible "chocolate syrup", they can still be rescued.

Well, before the potion was fully brewed, Bourne took the antidote in advance.

When the heating was completed, Bourne used a beautiful "levitation spell" to make the almost formed potion float out of the crucible and circle around him like a satellite.

While this pot of potion was cooling down, he started to brew his second pot of potion.

He also had some ideas about speed competition - after entering the water, he didn't have to swim to catch up with the Queen of Glory, right?

For example, Bourne felt that if he could ride a hoverbike later, to be modest, he would be able to easily get into the top three in a speed competition.

Although this game does not allow the use of Muggle equipment or alchemical products - from this perspective, even the flying broom is actually banned, because the process of making a flying broom also requires some alchemy. But there is a saying: as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

When Bourne thought of the hoverbike, he thought of the flying car in Ron's house.

Then he thought of the extremely serious accident that the "pretender" Professor Lockhart had experienced on the train to Hogwarts with them last year.

In that accident, the magical creature that suddenly appeared in the Hogwarts Express almost turned this "advanced" locomotive, which contained a lot of magic, alchemy and mechanical technology, into a pile of scrap metal.

That terrifying leather swallow can attach itself to magic alchemical machinery and feed on the magic inside.

However, few people know that its membrane is actually a very rare magical material.

If used properly, under the influence of magic, it can replace many mechanical structures to operate in an unscientific but magical way!
Coincidentally, Bourne once came into contact with a very magical potion, which might be able to play this "appropriate" role.

"Spiritual perception potion," Bourne said with a smile on his face.

He thought of the potion Grandpa Horace had shown him on his first ride on the Knight Bus.

At that time, in order to show off his skills in front of his grandson, the old man used this magic potion to temporarily give the Knight Bus a virtual soul to facilitate its control and communication.

After smiling, Bourne said to himself: "For the glory of the Slughorn family, I will now show you all my skills!" (End of this chapter)
