Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

"It's over there, look."

"Which way?"

"Next to the tall red-haired boy."

"The one with glasses."

"Did you see his face?"

"Did you see that scar on him?"

The next day, these whispers followed Harry as he walked out of his dormitory.

Students lined up outside the classroom, all standing on tiptoe, wanting to see his true face. They passed him in the corridor and came back, staring at him.

To be honest, the feeling of being in the spotlight was a little refreshing at first, but soon his feeling began to take a turn for the worse. Harry very much hoped that his classmates wouldn't do this, as he had to concentrate on finding his way to the classroom.

"I clearly remember that we just saw this armor, and we just saw the person in this portrait," Harry whispered to Ron because he was worried that others would hear him and be embarrassed.

The first class they entered today was their Head of House's Transfiguration class, and no new Gryffindor student wanted to be late for this class.

Ron, who had already walked up and down several stairs with Harry, became a little out of breath at this time. He said: "George told me that there are 142 stairs in Hogwarts. Some are wide and big; Some are narrow, small, and rickety; some lead to different places every Friday; some halfway up, a step will suddenly disappear, and you have to remember where to jump.

In addition, there are many doors here that will not open for you if you ask them to open them rudely or poke them in the right place; some doors are not real doors at all, but are just blocks of doors that appear to be Door's solid wall.

Those armors can also move around on their own. The characters in the painting like to hang around when they wake up during the day, and sometimes even run outside the school. So you can’t use them as a reference..."

Harry was a little envious of Ron: indeed, he came from a serious wizarding family and knew a lot.

"Then, did George and Fred tell you how to find the right way? They must have a trick, right?"

Ron scratched his head in embarrassment, "They say that little wizards are late on the first day of school. In fact, it's almost a Hogwarts tradition."

Harry: "..."

He was excited for nothing.

However, he quickly thought of another question: Seamus hadn't gotten up yet and didn't know yet, skip it; before Neville left, he said he would ask senior classmates to help lead the way, skip it; he and the stubborn Ron were preparing to We went to the Transfiguration Classroom together, basically failing and skipping it - there were five people in the dormitory, and the remaining one was Bourne who was the first to go out for morning exercises. Can he find the way smoothly?

You know, Bourne promised them that he would bring a breakfast for everyone in the dormitory.

"I hope so," Harry prayed silently.

At yesterday's dinner, he secretly looked at the professors sitting at the teachers' table out of curiosity. As a result, he was irritated by the Slytherin headmaster with impressive greasy hair, which caused the scar on his head to tremble. Painful pain.

Therefore, at the end of the dinner, he did not eat the pumpkin pie as a staple food or dessert.

He regrets it now.

……

Unlike the "Harrow duo" who were battling with the ever-deforming stairs, Byrne quickly solved this difficult problem for the new little wizard.

Although he was treated equally on the Hogwarts stairs and no special treatment was given because of his cuteness, Bourne quickly found the right way down from Gryffindor Tower.

This was helped by the help of an acquaintance, or more accurately, a person in the painting——

When he walked to the same picture frame with colorful curtains for the second time, when he had actually considered whether to climb over the railing of the stairs, he might as well have climbed to the first floor hall by climbing up a pillar that, according to his observation, would not deform. , someone suddenly said hello to him in the picture frame.

"Mr. Sherlock, why are you at Hogwarts too?" Bourne asked, "Isn't Dr. Watson with you?"

Inside that oil painting is a small house. Bourne automatically ignored it the first time he passed by, but now he passed by for the second time. Sherlock, who was wearing pajamas and holding a toothbrush in his mouth, happened to come out of the house.

After spitting out the foam in his mouth, Sherlock happily said to Bourne: "Watson? He has also come to Hogwarts. He should be staying with other ghosts in the castle now.

Ever since the incident at the Hermitage, Dumbledore gave us a suggestion: to live in Hogwarts Castle during the week, and then go back during the summer vacation to run a summer camp for young wizards before they enter school. This is safer.

The only problem is that I can't use fire crabs to walk around Hogwarts Castle. I want to go to other places and walk through the portraits one by one. Fortunately, there are enough magic portraits here, otherwise I would be bored to death if I could only look at the scenery in one place..."

After chatting with this interesting Mr. Sherlock for a while, Bourne asked naturally: "You are also a former Hogwarts graduate, right? You have been in these magic portraits for more than a year, so you must be very familiar with them." This castle, right? Today is my first day of school, can you show me the way down?"

"Of course, no problem." Being able to communicate with others is something that Sherlock cannot refuse in the state of the person in the painting. Compared to death, he is actually more afraid and bored.

So, under the guidance of this acquaintance, the little wizard Bourne quickly passed the ever-changing stairs and arrived at the hall of Hogwarts. He first ran around the castle, then went to swim in the black lake next to the castle for a while, and then returned to Hogwarts Castle.

On the way back, Bourne also met a professor: Professor Quirrell, who was wearing a purple turban on his head. He was walking through a muddy puddle, and the direction he came from was exactly what Dumbledore had ordered. A forbidden forest that students are not allowed to enter.

Saying hello to the professor who claimed to have gone to the Forbidden Forest to find teaching materials for the students - Bourne clearly didn't ask, but he told him first - the two of them entered the gate of Hogwarts Castle. We parted ways happily.

"Strange."

After they separated, Bourne suddenly realized a problem: he clearly had the memory of Quirrell being possessed by Voldemort, but even though he saw this person at the sorting dinner yesterday, he seemed to have naturally ignored the professor.

This also made him couldn't help but guess, if he hadn't happened to meet each other today and chatted for a while at close range, would it be possible that he would be like other young wizards outside the protagonist group-waiting until Dumbledore's point-control method allowed Gran to Only after Fendo won the Academy Cup did he think of this?

"Lowering your sense of presence as much as possible is definitely not caused by relying on the sneaky pace of an assassin. This is probably also a kind of magic."

Bourne made a judgment in his mind.

And just when he started to think about how he should get along with this "twenty-five-year-old" professor? Should I report this guy directly?

Or, how should he report Quirrell (Voldemort) to Dumbledore? Bourne's thoughts inevitably turned to another thing - because Quirrell or Voldemort had no ill intentions against him for the time being, so The Astartes' unique combat intuition did not give Bourne any advance warning - with him as a variable this year, can Gryffindor still get the Academy Cup?

Two hundred and fifty points were deducted at the start... This kind of start was somewhat of a challenge to Dumbledore's point control skills, right?

a bit difficult.

After thinking about it, Bourne returned to the hall where the ceremony and dinner were held yesterday. This is also the dining hall of Hogwarts. Food is provided to all the little wizards three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.

Because he had promised other people in the dormitory to bring breakfast for them, Bourne found a plate with a dozen pies, a few roasted chicken legs, boiled eggs, and a large jug of milk. Then, he ate his breakfast.

Unlike the dinner, the daily breakfast, lunch and dinner provided by Hogwarts are not divided into four long tables according to the houses, but are filled with one long table. The little wizard who rushed to the restaurant chose the food he liked. Either a few people gathered together to find another table to sit at, or they simply sat next to this long table.

While Byrne was eating, some senior students with textbooks came over and left after taking a few bites. Most of them are fifth- and seventh-grade students. After breakfast, they either go straight to the library or rush to the classroom for class - and then go to the library for self-study.

Under the spur of OWLs (Ordinary Wizarding Level Tests) and NEWTs (Ultimate Wizarding Tests), their days are like spinning tops, and they must race against time to do anything.

Students in other grades were much more leisurely and were not in such a hurry to have breakfast. Some of them were even talking and laughing with their friends.

As for the first-year students who just entered the school, Bourne was still the first one here. It was not until the new students from Slytherin appeared one after another that he became less conspicuous.

Because Slytherin's underground common room is near the banquet hall, it is very close; and because the students of this house always like to show pure-blood etiquette to the other three houses, their new students are required by their prefects to do it every day. Attend meals on time.

As expected, Draco Malfoy, a conspicuous person, walked into the banquet hall with Crabbe and Goyle, who had just returned from the hospital wing. However, when he saw Bourne, his eyes hesitated for a moment.

At the same time, Bourne also saw them, so he waved his palms and said hello.

Seeing this situation, Draco seemed to have made up his mind. He, Crabbe and Goyle walked around half of the banquet hall in order to pass by Bourne "on the way".

"If, I mean 'if'..." When passing by Burn, Draco said in a very small voice: "...If you want to hear the term 'Slytherin's hero', don't Impulsively, some people on the Quidditch team seem to be preparing to do something."

After saying all this quickly, Draco immediately walked towards the table with food, as if nothing had happened just now.
