Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 59 Snape: Hit someone without looking at them

The ceiling of the Hogwarts Ballroom is enchanted to match the outside environment. At this time, because it was pouring rain outside the castle and the candles were not fully lit, the banquet hall seemed dim.

Coupled with the three vampires baring their teeth and claws, this scene really has the feeling of "Castle Terror" brought into reality.

The little witch Hermione, who was blocked by her seniors, secretly swore in her heart: Anyone who watches horror movies again will be a dog.

A dozen students faced three vampires and frequently released various spells in the banquet hall. Naturally, the commotion caused was quite big.

First, the little snakes and little badgers who lived in the basement heard the noise and ran out of their respective common rooms. Later, even the little wizards from Ravenclaw appeared one after another.

In the end, even Filch, who was dozing off (in preparation for catching the nocturnal little wizard that night), was alarmed by the sound of magic exploding in the banquet hall. He grabbed a mop and ran out of the office.

Compaore noticed this. This vampire also retains more intelligence than his two companions.

"Hurry up and catch some little wizards!" With the agility of a vampire, he avoided a curse and turned around to give each of his two companions a big butt bag.

What he meant was: capture the two little wizards as hostages, and whether they want to escape or "count," they would have more room for maneuver.

But those two guys obviously misunderstood what Compaore meant. They thought the boss was addicted to blood (dust) and wanted to beat the little wizards to their teeth as a sacrifice.

Isn't this a coincidence?
So do they.

Recently, they have been working very hard to disguise themselves as magical movie projection workers.

Another important figure in the team, Madeleine, the main force in the "Fairy Jump" business in Albania, became addicted to blood after coming to the UK, so she has been suffering from "loss of control" recently.

She couldn't even move with the team, but could only hide in the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts to provide them with limited support.

After receiving the boss's order, the two graduates from Ouagadu Magic School immediately cheered up and used the skills they learned when they were in school——

In addition to "Wandless Spellcasting", another feature of Ouagadu's teaching content is that students are taught "self-transformation" from the lower grades, and among Ouagadu's senior students, at least one or two students can successfully learn "Ah" every year. Nemagus”.

Moreover, perhaps because of the early start of "self-transformation" practice, Ouagadu's "Animagus" wizards can often actively control the animal they will turn into before successfully learning this high-end transformation technique.

By evading the curse, the two men ducked under a long table in the banquet hall, and when they emerged again, they had all completed their transformation.

One turned into a hyena.

One turned into a honey badger.

The two "bullies" in the African region rushed towards the lion cubs, and they were braver than the real "bullies".

The vampire who turned into a hyena kept circling around the little wizards, as if he really wanted to launch a "moon digger" attack. Some of the little wizards were so scared that they trembled and hurriedly held their wands and followed him in circles.

The vampire who turned into a honey badger used the interference of his companions to grab the little wizard's robe and crawled onto them. He pointed at their wand or the arm or palm holding the wand, and scratched them frequently.

The little Gryffindor wizards who were originally gathered together suddenly became confused by the sneak attack, and began to dodge in a panic.

Hermione was horrified.

Looking at the honey badger showing its sharp claws towards her, she even felt that the rat Spotted, whom she hated so much not long ago, looked so handsome compared to it.

After all, she is just an 11-year-old girl. In times of crisis, she can only instinctively follow the people around her and run away in a panic.

However, those two "beasts" transformed from vampires knew how to bully the weak.

Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.

Among the fleeing crowd, they almost instantly locked onto Hermione, who seemed to have no ability to resist. Again, she was just an 11-year-old girl after all.

The spotted hyena barked wildly, and jumped quickly on its four legs. First it jumped onto a bench, and then jumped onto a long table, and pounced on Hermione who was escaping in a "triple jump".

This is sure!

He even laughed triumphantly in his heart, and his big mouth with ferocious fangs opened wide, and disgusting saliva stretched into thin threads at the corners of his mouth.

"Get down, Granger!" A frightened and muffled cry suddenly came from the door of the banquet hall.

The one shouting was Ron, who was playing with a Quaffle used for team training - the Gryffindor Quidditch team had just finished training. Ron and the others were also playing with his friend Harry and the ball. The rest of the team returned to the castle for dinner.

When they walked into the castle gate and saw Hermione about to be bitten by a spotted hyena, Ron shouted as if reflexively.

At the same time, he unconsciously twisted his waist, stepped forward, and rounded his arms, like a football kickoff (although he did not know this sport at all), and threw the red Quaffle, about 12 inches in diameter.

Hearing the reminder, although Hermione couldn't lie down directly, she still knelt down and hugged her little head with messy long hair tightly with both hands.

And the Quaffle, spinning past Hermione's head, hit the spotted hyena's big mouth and stuffed it into it.

After doing all this, Ron subconsciously wanted to run over and pull Hermione up, but as soon as he took a step, he found that his legs were cramping from nervousness - he had asked Hermione to lie down just now, but now he was doing it for the first time. One lay down on the bluestone frosted floor of the castle.

"I go."

Ron's best friend Harry also reacted at this time, quickly stuffed the broomstick on his shoulders under his crotch, and flew out with a swish.

Captain Wood, who was standing behind him, subconsciously stretched out his arms to catch him, but failed - riding a broomstick in the castle was a violation of school rules and would result in demerit points and solitary confinement. - However, Wood immediately retracted his arm. Why are there spotted hyenas in the castle? Also, he also noticed at this time that people from his college were running around in the banquet hall.

"Damn it, it must be Slytherin..."

Indecisive, Slytherin. He thought that the spotted hyenas and all that were all a trick played by people from Slytherin House.

Whenever this happens, Gryffindor people don't care whether points are deducted or not. All the players pick up their uniforms and take out their wands.

And Harry, who was riding the best broomstick currently on the market, immediately rushed to Hermione's side, grabbed the little witch's arm, and stuffed the Quaffle from her mouth. The spotted hyena was dragged away from his eyes.

Just at this moment, the honey badger transformed from a vampire also ran out of the banquet hall. This guy was obviously more insidious and vicious than his companion who transformed into a spotted hyena (Animagus can partially reflect a wizard's Character traits), he did not choose to care about his companions, but stretched out his claws and pounced on Ron who fell to the ground.

Several players on the Quidditch team cast spells on him, but the honey badger was small and fast, so all the spells hit the floor.

Seeing that the ferocious "flat-headed brother" was about to scratch his little face, Ron couldn't help but close his eyes in fear, and he even let out a scream in advance.

However, the imagined pain did not come.

It turned out that at the critical moment, his brother George ran over and rescued him. George kicked the honey badger away with his feet, but a bloody wound was opened on his leg by the honey badger's claws.

"Hiss~" George gasped in pain.

However, even so, the honey badger still refused to let go. After being kicked to the ground, it turned over and turned back into a vampire.

Then, he was in the surprised and astonished eyes of the Gryffindor Quidditch players - they originally thought that the honey badgers and spotted hyenas were found by Slytherin people from nowhere, or were transformed using the Transfiguration spell. of - pounced on the injured George again.

"Go away!"

The other twin, Fred, rushed over, carrying a bat in addition to his wand.

Snapped!
As the team's third-year ace, the Weasley twins' batting skills are quite extraordinary. To sum up, they hit accurately and hard - whether it's a Bludger or a Slytherin player.

Fred's hateful blow was so forceful that the bat that hit the vampire's head accurately broke into two pieces.

Even if the vampire's physique is better than that of ordinary people, if he is hit by this skull-crushing blow, even if the guy's head is not blooming, his vision is still black.

"Well done! You have the style of a legendary batsman." Even though George was grinning in pain, he still managed to give Fred a high-five.

But at this moment, what all the Gryffindor Quidditch players didn't expect was that another vampire suddenly rushed out of the banquet hall.

Yes, that's Compaoré.

"Be careful! These vampires can cast spells without a wand!" The little witch Hermione also recovered a little at this time, and immediately spoke to warn everyone.

However, she was still a little late.

"Except your weapons!"

As Compaoré's fingers moved a few times, a beam of blood-colored light suddenly flew out of his palm, and the wands in the hands of several young wizards came out.

At the same time, the guy turned his head and glared at Hermione, who had just reminded everyone. It was precisely because of this that his eyes also glanced at Harry next to Hermione.

Ok?
The mark of the dark devil on his arm suddenly became hot, and a cold voice suddenly emerged in his heart.

Kill him, kill him, kill him...

Under the strong spiritual suggestion, Compaore's scarlet eyes even shed "tears", and blood-red droplets slipped from the corners of his eyes.

The uncontrollable murderous intention even made him forget that it seemed that now he could actually solve the problem by saying "Avada bites the big melon".

"Harry Potter!"

Opening his mouth wide and shouting a specious name, Compaore was like a bat flying close to the ground. He quickly approached Harry on the broom at a sprint speed of 100 meters, facing the little wizard's head. A punch attack.

Harry was startled, but because of the excellent dynamic vision he inherited, he could clearly see the trajectory of the vampire's fist hitting him.

However, even if he could see clearly, his body was not as sensitive as his eyes after all, and even if he made evasive movements, he was still half a beat too slow.

Compaoré's fist grazed Harry's head, his face and the frame of his glasses, and the little wizard was instantly knocked off his broomstick.

Harry was knocked unconscious, half of his face was swollen, and his face was scratched by the broken glasses frame and nose pads.

Blood instantly covered Harry's closed eyes.

And this scene happened to be seen by another man who looked very much like a bat. After getting the news, Snape flew anxiously from the eighth floor to the first floor. He saw with his own eyes that the boy who made him have mixed emotions was beaten out by Compaore. He saw...

The boy closed his green eyes.

　In the movies, it seems like everyone among the Death Eaters knows the flying spell that turns them into smoke. But in the novel, apart from Voldemort, Snape is the only Death Eater who has mastered this dangerous spell. I seem to remember Rowling’s answer to this question.
