Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

The night is as cold as water.

Unlike the day, which is filled with the laughter of young wizards, Hogwarts at night is only a paradise for a few people.

"Another little wizard!" The fat lady yawned, looking sleepily at the figure who had just walked out of the Gryffindor common room.

At this time, Bourne had already quickly ran down the stairs. He had a date tonight.

Arriving at the corridor on the second floor of the castle, leaning against the slightly chilly sandstone wall, Bourne squinted his eyes and began to wait quietly.

Tick, tick, tick...

Not far away, in the abandoned girls' bathroom, there was suddenly the sound of water dripping from the faucet.

A gust of night wind blew through the windows on the side of the castle corridor, lifting the hanging dark velvet curtains.

The atmosphere became a little weird.

Just like a classic scene in a horror movie, every time a monster appears, the quiet environment around the protagonist will always have a ripple.

Bourne's eyes suddenly opened.

"Oh!"

Justice's fist hit something at once, and immediately after, an "ouch" sound sounded in the air.

Peeves was revealed with a bandage on his head and his nose covered. He stared viciously at the little wizard in front of him as if he were looking at an enemy.

Peeves can feel pain, but he is a poltergeist after all, not a human being, and his nose did not bleed even after being hit.

He straightened his crooked nose with force, and then asked: "You brat, how did you find me?"

"Taste," Bourne replied.

Peeves raised his arm and smelled it strangely, but he couldn't smell anything at all. funny? Can a ghost be human? He felt that this brat was deceiving him.

In fact, Bourne really didn't lie to him, he really had a smell about him: for those thirteen "blows" in the afternoon, Bourne not only used the new equipment given to him by Grandpa Horace, he also secretly Rubbed a layer of stuff on "triple speed".

That's right, the liquefied Patronus Charm potion!

In the afternoon, the moment Peeves appeared, Bourne discovered something was wrong with this Hogwarts companion spirit!

Even though the "mischievous behavior" was still so excessive, Peeves shouldn't be so quiet - after he appeared, he didn't even shout the catchphrase "Your Mr. Peeves".

What's more, when he was still invisible, the first person to "expose" him was the Two-Face Man.

Therefore, Bourne immediately guessed that Peeves was being manipulated, and immediately made the decision to help this guy.

Be kind to others.

Although it is unclear how to release this control, Peeves has one advantage - he is not a human and there is no risk of dying (at best, he will dissipate).

Bourne can act with confidence and boldness.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity to turn his back to Professor Quirrell, he quickly applied a layer of liquefied Patronus Curse potion to "Triple Speed", and continuously tapped the sacred number "Thirteen" on Peeves' head.

Whether it was physics, magic, or the number "13" that played a role... in short, Peeves was figured out.

He's even gotten a little smarter!

Peeves understood the meaning of Bourne's sentence "I still remember what happened that day" and came to the place where they first met on time at one o'clock in the middle of the night to keep the appointment.

Originally, he had just been hell-bent on scaring Bourne to make up for the loss of face.

But who would have thought that he would get punched again.

Bourne would not tell him that because his head was stained with the liquefied Patronus Charm potion, whenever Bourne saw him these days, he would definitely be able to smell the smell of promethium fuel that made him feel at ease.

"Tell me, brat, what do you want to do with me?" Rarely, Peeves did not use his exaggerated speaking style, but asked Bourne very seriously.

Upon hearing these words, Bourne, who was still leaning against the wall, suddenly stood up straight.

"Master Peeves of Hogwarts,

The ghost with the most special origin in the Millennium Magic School,

The king of pranks spoken by generations of little wizards,

Just today, he was manipulated by someone." Bourne looked at Peeves with a smile, "I wonder, should he be angry? "

……

Wandering and adventuring in the dark universe, Bourne not only developed the ability to kill enemies on the battlefield, he also learned strategic games.

The enemies of your enemy, although they cannot be defined as friends in the strict sense, can be a sharp blade.

……

After reaching a temporary cooperation agreement with Peeves, Bourne returned to Gryffindor Tower, and when he got into the secret door hidden behind the Fat Lady's portrait, he even said hello to the Fat Lady.

Unable to sleep due to the little wizard coming and going, the Fat Lady said she was already considering whether to find another place to rest at night.

Returning to the dormitory, Bourne found that two more four-poster beds were empty. It seemed that Ron and Harry had also begun their night travel adventure.

However, their night outing may not have been as smooth as Bourne's, because the next day Bourne discovered that the Harrow duo seemed to be having trouble with "Miss Beaver" Hermione.

After returning from morning exercise and having breakfast in the Great Hall, Bourne saw Harry and Ron whispering together, while Hermione, who usually played well with them, was sitting far away from them. She ate her oatmeal with a spoon and flipped through the textbook that stood in front of her.

"Bourne!" As soon as he saw him appearing, Ron immediately waved his hand towards him, inviting Bourne to sit next to him.

Bourne turned him down.

Because although the Gryffindor freshmen had no classes today, he had his own plans. He just took a little food to eat, and then immediately went to the library to find Mrs. Pince.

He is going to apply for a think tank job...

Ah no, it's the little librarian.

When Bourne handed his "Application Form for Library Assistant" to Mrs. Pince, this witch who always had a strict reputation among the young wizards of Hogwarts immediately cast a cautious look on him.

Mrs. Pince did not reject him directly, but asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Are you willing to come to the library to volunteer at noon every day? Is this true?"

"That's right," Bourne nodded affirmatively, "I read in "A History of Hogwarts" that the library of Hogwarts once had similar positions. In history, many young wizards were Served in the library.”

"However, no one has applied for this position for more than 60 years." Mrs. Pince responded: "Because not only does it not have any reward - whether it is a Galleons reward or the privilege of opening the forbidden book area - it also has special benefits for the little wizard. Strict requirements...are you really willing to do this?"

"I would be honored to have wisdom as my neighbor."

"Weird child, I heard that you made quite a fuss during the sorting ceremony. I suspect that you should be sorted into Ravenclaw."

Mrs. Pince had a favorable impression of Bourne.

Therefore, she did not reject Bourne's application directly, but wrote a note with a feather pen.

Then, she picked up the feather duster on the library counter and flicked it, turning it into a magic wand.

Mrs. Pince tapped her wand on the counter.

Immediately, the Hogwarts badge on the counter opened outwards, and a brass metal pipe protruded from it.

whoosh...

With the sound of the rapid flow of air, a metal capsule about the same thickness as a copper pipe jumped out of the tube.

Catching the metal capsule, Mrs. Pince twisted it from the center and put the written note inside. Then, she closed the metal capsule again and stuffed it back into the brass tube.

"Little wizard, I agree to your application, but the final decision is not mine.

I can tell you a little secret. Every position in Hogwarts, even the position of Principal Dumbledore, is determined by this thousand-year-old castle itself.

Therefore, after submitting your application, you may—"

Before she could finish her sentence, another metal capsule popped out of the brass tube with a whoosh.

Mrs. Pince caught it in surprise and opened it. There was only a small card inside, and there was only one word on this small card: Agree.
