Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 78 The little flying stick is here

It's not just a broken wrist.

While Bourne grabbed the troll's wrist, he also broke the bridge of its nose with his other fist.

This is still exciting.

After all, Byrne wanted it to be "voluntary."

And immediately, this giant monster leader not only had the first experience of being sour and sloppy, but also felt what it meant to be "in the clouds" for the first time.

"Give-me-up-!"

Bourne burst out with a roar, and the muscles in his arms bulged so high that the clothes with the stretching spell were so tight that they were about to burst.

The giant monster leader, who weighed more than a ton, was lifted up from where he was by his wrist, and then he was violently thrown to the ground, smashing a large area of ​​frosted tiles.

This is not finished!
Bourne tightened his waist and abdomen, and once again relied on the strength of his legs and torso to make the troll leader, whose head was embedded in the floor tiles, complete a return trip.

The other trolls were all stunned.

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the Hogwarts professors standing at the door of the banquet hall actually resembled a group of trolls.

And Bourne, who caused all this, is like a child in some kind of addiction, happily letting the troll leader repeat "here" and "over there" for a while.

If this move must have a name, then let’s call it——

The return of the Astartes!
Boom, boom, boom, boom...

The giant monster quickly flew back and forth between the two places, constantly colliding with the ground, making the sound of a pile driver working.

Does it have a "smart head"?
The answer is unknown.

However, although this guy's head is about the same size as a coconut, it is definitely stronger than a coconut. Even after undergoing the baptism of [Return of the Astartes to Heaven and Earth], it still did not die.

But it was really convinced. After all, if it is not convinced, it will die.

The lesser of two evils.

When Bourne once again made a hard landing between his face and the ground, the troll boss let out a whimper-like whine, stretched out his unbroken arm and repeatedly hit the ground rapidly, making a series of "pap-pap-pap-pap" sounds.

"That's it, little wizard." Newt Scamander didn't know Bourne's name yet, so he called him 'little wizard'. "Slap the ground and admit defeat. Trolls compete for the top spot. This is how the loser surrenders."

With that said, he quickly walked up to Bourne and tugged on the "little" wizard's... pants (because of his height).

The magical animal expert said with emotion: "It seems that in the book 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', a new record has to be added to the chapter 'How to subdue trolls'."

"Bourne Slughorn!"

At this time, Professor McGonagall also walked over menacingly. The lioness-like vice-principal was very dissatisfied with Bourne's behavior of running over to fight with the troll without authorization.

Regardless of whether Bourne is in danger or not, what's the deal with a little wizard engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a troll?
If students from other houses see it, won't it reinforce the stereotype that "Gryffindors are all barbarians"?

"Where's your wand?"

Professor McGonagall slapped Bourne's thigh hard. She couldn't hurt the little wizard even if she rounded her arms.

"A wizard doesn't use magic spells to deal with dangerous magical animals. Who did you learn this from?"

Bourne thought for a while, looked at Professor Scamander, who was taking the class, and then looked at Hagrid...with a big smile on his face, and said in a flattering way: "Sorry, Professor McGonagall, I was wrong. Forgot to take out my wand."

"Because of your recklessness, Gryffindor will be deducted five points," Professor McGonagall said seriously, still looking upset.

However, she changed the subject immediately.

"Your pet just helped Professor Scamander, and you defeated a 4X level troll. These two contributions will each add ten points to Gryffindor, for a total of twenty points."

One code after another, the Vice-Principal added up the points for his own college, focusing on "official affairs". So, those little lions who can't add points to Gryffindor are really...

After just watching the excitement of the restricted level, and then hearing the good news about extra points from the academy, the little lions in the banquet hall were so happy.

Many of them jumped on the stools, waved their arms, and cheered loudly in celebration.

The young wizards in a dormitory in Bourne clapped so hard that their palms turned red.

"Ron, I remember you told me before that a duel between first-year wizards will most likely end up with a punch for you and a kick for me?" Harry clapped and touched him with his elbow. Touch Ron next to you.

"So from now on, no one dares to challenge Bourne to a duel." Ron blinked at Harry excitedly, and then glanced at the Slytherin table.

Different from the focus of the Harrow duo, the senior students (especially the members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, captained by Wood) were surprised when they saw Bourne's "Magus Transformation" and "Pain" After the two feats of "fighting giant monsters", the ecstasy in my heart was like a bastard checking out of a hotel room - I couldn't hold it in any longer!
In this year's Quidditch League, Qin Shihuang will definitely win!
What Slytherin martial arts team? What Captain Flint is the same as Troll?
Let’s first get to know our batter, Iron Fist, who is bigger than the Crucible. Also, does that guy Flint want to try to see if he can withstand the attack like a real troll?
Wood has even begun to wonder whether he should change his established strategy and develop new game tactics around Byrne, a batsman destined to become a legend.

After all, it seems that there is a precedent for ending the game in the history of Quidditch by eliminating all the opponents' players.

Wood thought this was exciting.

The whims of the little wizards will not affect how the professors deal with the trolls.

Because they saw how their boss was beaten into submission, the group of unruly trolls have now become extremely well-behaved - if that stupid Barnabas had Bourne's skills, he probably wouldn't have had to bother in the first place. You can teach a troll to dance ballet.

Without any effort, Scamander just asked Bourne to stand beside him, and then said a few words to the group of trolls. They obediently lifted up their two fallen companions (one was the boss and the other was knocked unconscious by the boss) and walked out of the gate of Hogwarts Castle.

However, before they left, Bourne used his transformation technique to create a pair of scissors, allowing the trolls to "voluntarily" contribute a lot of beards.

Your life is more important, why do you care about your beard? These "smart guys" still understand this very clearly. "I want them to go to the Forbidden Forest for a while first," Newt explained to Dumbledore. No one except him understood the language of the trolls. "I hope Hagrid, the caretaker of the forest farm, can accompany me to the Forbidden Forest." , and properly place these giant monsters who were forcibly brought from the Forbidden Forest."

When he said this, Newt glanced at Quirrell. Although there were many things that were unclear about what the trolls just said, Newt's IQ was much higher than that of the trolls, which allowed him to roughly understand what these big guys meant.

The trolls cannot be entirely blamed for causing such a thing. They were also helplessly kidnapped from their hometown by a crazy person.

They are actually very unhappy.

"Okay," Dumbledore nodded, and then said to Hagrid: "Hagrid, if you please, accompany Newt to the Forbidden Forest. I will ask the kitchen to leave a special place for you after the dinner begins. Some dishes.”

"Don't worry, Headmaster." Hagrid, as the old wizard's biggest fan, never said a word to Dumbledore's request.

Then, Dumbledore took Bourne and several other professors back to the banquet hall of Hogwarts.

After entering the door, the principal waved his magic wand. In an instant, the floating candles in the entire banquet hall became a little brighter. Some metal cups and saucers on the desks of various deans also continued to gently collide, "ding-ding-dong-dong" playing a cheerful music, and they began to dance.

Dumbledore waved his hand and announced to all the little wizards vigorously: "Keep playing, keep dancing!"

As the little wizards cheered even more enthusiastically, the delicious food that had been prepared by the house elves instantly appeared on the plates and plates on the long table.

Bourne transformed back into his little wizard form, and after high-fiving the students who extended their palms to him, he returned to his original seat.

After sitting down, without having time to chat with a few companions, Bourne immediately took a few pieces of pumpkin pie from a small plate in the middle of the table - this was the reward he promised to Khan.

But who knows, when the little Khan saw the pie handed to his mouth, he just sniffed it with his nose and turned his head to the side in a "backbone" manner.

"Well, don't you like this kind of snack the most?" Bourne looked at the little pet with saliva slurping from the corner of his mouth curiously, and asked doubtfully: "Do you want other rewards?"

Hearing this, Khan nodded quickly. Then, it ran to a plate, pulled out a golden fries, and made a funny move of riding on the fries. Then, it raised its two small paws parallel to its shoulders, made a "wuwuwu" sound in its mouth, and ran around in place a few times.

Bourne seemed to understand what it meant, so he asked tentatively: "You don't want a broomstick, do you?"

The little Khan nodded again at the speed of light, with his two little paws still clenched together, making a pitiful and pleading look.

Ron and Harry were stunned.

Harry has Hedwig, the owl who can understand part of his words; Ron has Scabbers, and although the mouse is old and ugly, it has actually lived for more than ten years and can be said to be sophisticated and sophisticated. It's not an exaggeration to say "almost mature".

It can be said that both of them have extraordinary pets. In the past, they were often very proud of having such a small partner. However, whether it was Hedwig or Scabbers, Harry and Ron felt that their pets were weak compared to Khan. This mixed-breed Sniff is so smart!

"But, where are the broomsticks for pets?" Ron immediately asked a question, "The smallest broomstick on the market is a toy broom for children. It seems that Khan cannot use it with his size-unless he is specially Ask the broomstick company to order it."

Bourne's eyes suddenly lit up.

"As expected of a true know-it-all in the magical world," he gave Ron a thumbs up, "The ideas he came up with are reliable."
-
How to order a broomstick?
In fact, this problem is not as simple as many people think: as long as there are galleons.

Before the Knight Bus began operating, there were only four traditional means of long-distance transportation for wizards: Apparition, Portkey, Floo Network, and broomstick. In fact, not all wizards can use Apparition and Portkeys.

Although the Apparition Spell is convenient, it is actually quite dangerous to use. And because just learning this kind of spell will most likely lead to "splitting" several times, many wizards are unwilling to sign up for training courses at their own expense and learn to apparate.

As for the Portkey, it is an alchemical item that can be moved over extremely long distances (especially when traveling across continents).

If you want to use a door key, the formal way is to register and apply with the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, you have to go to the black market and spend a lot of money to use extremely dangerous illegal door keys.

Therefore, there are quite a few wizards who have never tried portkey travel in their lives.

The Floo Network is very popular among wizards, and the fireplaces in many wizard homes are connected to this magical pipe network.

However, to use the Floo Network, you must use Floo Powder, which is a kind of shining magic powder.

It was invented in the 13th century by a wizard named Ignatia Willsmith. The manufacture of floo powder is strictly controlled. The only licensed manufacturer in the UK is Floo Bang, which is headquartered in Diagon Alley, and no one has ever been able to tell where its main door is.

There have never been reported shortages of Floo powder, nor is anyone aware of who makes it.

Its price has remained the same for hundreds of years: two sickles a spoonful. Every wizarding family keeps a certain amount of floo powder, usually in a box or vase on the fireplace.

The formal manufacture of floo powder is strictly confidential. No one who tries to be "self-sufficient" succeeds. At least once a year, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Magical Injuries reports a case of "pseudo-floo" trauma, in other words, they throw homemade powder into the fire and reap the consequences.

Although the core manufacturing process of flying broomsticks is not as tightly controlled as floo powder, there are actually certain thresholds for starting a flying broomstick company - it can also be said that any flying alchemy prop that can operate stably, Their production is very difficult.

Hagrid has a three-wheeled motorcycle that can fly, and he even drove it to deliver Harry's acceptance letter. It was a gift that Sirius had given him. However, this flying motorcycle was not modified by Sirius himself, but ordered by Sirius from the Flying Broom Factory for gold galleons.

Generally speaking, the flying broom factory rarely undertakes this kind of customization service, even if the Black family is very, very, very rich.

However, when ordering this flying prop, Sirius had a friend - Arthur Weasley - the current head of the Weasley family.

Although the Weasley family has always been considered by many wizards as the so-called "broken family" among pure-blood families, and Gringotts' family treasury does not have many gold galleons, it can become "one of the sacred twenty-eight pure-blood families" How could the Weasley family not have some inheritance?
Those broomstick manufacturing factories are actually inextricably linked to the Weasley family.

You know, Arthur Weasley can transform a fully functional flying car by himself, which is a technology that even the broomstick factory does not have.

And, in addition to broomsticks, wizards could have traveled on flying carpets.

However, the British Ministry of Magic issued a ban many years ago: in order not to violate the Statute of Secrecy and to avoid attracting Muggle attention to wizards flying on blankets, the manufacture or sale of flying carpets of any kind is not allowed in Britain. , wizards can only ride broomsticks!

The department that ensures the continuation of this magical law is the [Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items] of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

Arthur Weasley is the director of this office. And his father and grandfather were actually senior officials in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

The Weasley family has been together for generations!
