Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Dumbledore walked out of the castle gate alone. He rejected Fudge's opinion and asked all the Aurors who had just arrived to stay in Hogwarts.

He wants to go to the Forbidden Forest alone to find Bourne.

And soon after the principal left, Quirrell ran back to his office on the grounds that he had to go to a specific bathroom to go to the toilet smoothly.

Quirrell closed the door, untied his turban with his backhand, and couldn't wait to advise his master: "Master, now is a good opportunity. Dumbledore left, and several other professors were busy cleaning up the mess. , we can go find the magic stone now!"

However, Voldemort, who always urged him to find the Philosopher's Stone in the past, did not show the same enthusiasm as before.

"Quirinas."

Rarely, he did not use the word 'idiot' instead of 'Quillo', and even called Quirrell's name tenderly.

"Yes, yes, yes, master."

Being called this by him, Quirrell unconsciously stuttered again, which was exactly the effect Voldemort wanted.

Fear is Voldemort's only means of controlling him. He must keep Quirrell in awe of him at all times.

Especially in his current state, if Quirrell loses his fear and dares to risk everything, there is still a way to completely eliminate his remaining soul.

Therefore, he must act strategizing and inscrutable, and can only live as a solid actor until he is resurrected.

"Have you ever seen a fox catch a rabbit?" Voldemort asked.

"Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit?" Quirrell was puzzled.

"When a fox finds a rabbit hole, if it is stupid enough to put its head directly into the hole, it will either get stuck there directly, or it will get lost in the messy underground passages dug by the rabbit..."

Voldemort spoke vividly, as if he had actually seen a similar scene.

"...However, if the fox is smart enough, it will bark a few times at the entrance of the hole. If a rabbit emerges from another hole, it will block the rabbit back, and then bark a few more times at the new entrance.

The cycle starts again and again, causing the rabbit to run away exhausted.

After a few times, the rabbit will be so frightened that it will become dizzy, run away, and may even scare itself to death. At that time, the fox can easily catch the rabbit and enjoy the fruits of his victory. "

Quirrell seemed to understand.

Voldemort simply made it clear: "Now, all you have to do is be a smart fox and let the rabbit come out to die on its own."

Quirrell's eyes lit up. He completely understood this time and understood what his master wanted him to do next.

However, the story Voldemort told him about "the rabbit and the fox" was only half of the complete story.

In the remaining half, the protagonist is the "hunter". When he was in the orphanage, in order to earn pocket money by catching and skinning foxes, Voldemort often went out to dig fake rabbit holes and lured "smart foxes" to run back and forth between the fake holes...

When the fox is tired, Voldemort will come over with a wooden stick to recuperate the hard-working fox, and collect its fox skin at the same time.

Feeling Quirrell's thoughts pop up, just like seeing a fox working hard, Voldemort couldn't help but say "Hey hey" happily.

"Yes, yes, that's it, very good, very energetic..." Voldemort encouraged all the thoughts of his slave fox.

Quirrell, on the other hand, seemed to be suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome". Instead, he felt a trace of gratitude from the bottom of his heart to Voldemort, who had been persecuting him. He even looked at the spiked whip hanging on the bedside - Voldemort used it to punish him. His props - none of them are as dazzling and scary as before.

……

"This pair of shackles is made of cast iron. I weighed it, and it's exactly fifteen pounds, no more, no less. Hanging up the person who made the mistake and wearing it, the feeling is, tsk tsk."

"This stick is imported from the Caribbean. It is made of poisonous lacquer wood, and the spikes on it are all natural. Use it to hit the prisoner's body, and the toxins of the poisonous lacquer wood can penetrate into the skin. Causes heart-wrenching pain."

"This is a soldering iron, this is a pin board, this is a vise for tooth extraction, this is... well, this is Mrs. Lorris's cat teasing stick, you can put this aside."

In the office, Filch took off pieces of his collection from the wall like treasures and introduced their uses to Snape in detail.

Although Filch is just the janitor of Hogwarts, his office is very spacious, and his office is also the only faculty office located in the corridor on the first floor.

And according to legend, this office was actually the principal's office arranged by a certain Gryffindor principal more than 600 years ago (that's why it's so spacious). The reason why the principal didn't want to work on the eighth floor was because Because he proposed a slogan: The principal guards the school gate.

Of course, there is no way to know the authenticity of this legend now, because when he was in office, the headmaster thought that compiling "Hogwarts: A School History" was troublesome and a waste of money, so he only selected a few things during his tenure. "Big Event" was written into the school history.

However, if you just look at the "waste style" decoration style of this office, it is difficult to believe that it is real - this office does not even have a window - there is a side where the window should be. Against the thick wall, there is a row of iron filing cabinets, which contain files on students' disciplinary records.

In the middle of this row of cabinets, there is a large drawer painted red, with a nameplate "Confiscated Materials, Highly Dangerous" hanging on it - this is what Filch prepared alone for the Weasley twins two years ago. freed up.

In addition to filing cabinets, this office, which is even larger than half a basketball court, only contains a single bed, a small bedside table, and a desk made of wood replaced by student desks. , and a rattan cat climbing frame that almost touches the ceiling.

A simple iron-framed oil lamp hung from the ceiling of the office, a fire was burning in the hearth of the fireplace, and there were many roasted dried fish hanging on the shelves above the fireplace. Perhaps because he often made grilled fish for himself and Mrs. Lorris, the whole office was filled with the smell of grilled fish.

The most numerous things in this office are the execution props that are hung neatly on the walls and are in excellent condition.

As Filch continued to introduce, Snape just kept an expressionless face. But Compaoré and the three vampires, after hearing these words that were infinitely close to the "404 warning", their faces turned pale as if they had been put on a wall.

"Please go out first."

Perhaps because he was tired of Filch's chattering, or perhaps he was disdainful of the torture tools used by Muggles, Snape finally spoke and "invited" the janitor out.

He was left alone.

Facing being fixed - yes, not "tied" but "fixed", because Snape thought it was too troublesome, so when he used the transfiguration to create three sets of frames, he did not create a rope along the way, but directly Conjuring a few iron nails to nail them to the cross - the three vampires dared not move. Snape raised his wand and recited a spell.
