Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

"Dean Snape, we may need to ask you to cooperate and come back to the Ministry of Magic with us."

Scrimgeour said.

What he said sounded like he was negotiating, but when he took out his wand, he was actually giving an order. Moreover, the Aurors who came to Hogwarts with him also gathered around, vaguely surrounding Snape.

Faced with this situation, Snape did not explain anything for himself. He just said: "There are not enough manpower in the school now. I need to wait for Dumbledore to come back before I can follow you."

Scrimgeour stared into Snape's eyes.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, the head of the Auror Office nodded, agreeing to Snape's request.

However, he asked Snape not to leave his sight. As for collecting the wand, Scrimgeour did not mention it.

Because he felt that with so many Aurors present, Snape, a young wizard in his early thirties, could not make any splash.

However, when he brought Snape to the banquet hall, he looked up and saw that his old boss (Barty Crouch was the former director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement) also arrived at Huo Huo with a group of people. Gewoz.

He saw Secretary Fudge again.

Although the two groups of people can't be said to get along well with each other, they can be said to stand on clear terms.

Scrimgeour couldn't help but feel a headache.

Compared to the "Two Heroes Meeting" scene he had to deal with next, he even felt that what would happen even if Professor Snape used the Unforgivable Curse? Could this really send a Hogwarts Headmaster to Azkaban?

After all, the subjects being tortured were just three vampires who had committed serious crimes, and what's more, those guys had identity certificates issued by the French Ministry of Magic.

What he is about to face are some wizards who may fight at any time, and they are also colleagues from the Ministry of Magic who he sees every day without looking up. What should I do? Waiting online is quite urgent.

In fact, even if he is unwilling to admit it, Scrimgeour is like a mirror in his heart. He knows what the "optimal solution" to this situation is: there is one person who can suppress these two groups of people at the same time. He has the strength (literally) ), but the problem is that that person is not in the castle now.

But he didn't know that Dumbledore, the old wizard known as the "strongest" in the magical world, also had doubts about his own strength at this time.

Using the variant spell of the "Flying Curse", after entering the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore quickly summoned a series of foggy figures glowing with dark golden light - these were the figures that Bourne had left for some time in the past. Traces of the people below - follow them all the way.

And when he walked to the hill where Madeleine was hiding before, and saw the monster that had turned into a monster with a missing head, and then came to the cave where golden light was constantly spewing out, he found that he could not walk at all. Go in.

He even used "All Curses Are Ended" by himself - although the spells and effects are very similar to "Curse Stop", the difference is that "Curse Stop" can be fired by one wizard to stop another wizard from casting spells. The spell, "All Spells Are Ended" requires many wizards to cast together - this "many" is usually at least five or more, and they all need to be wizards with high magic power.

However, when "All Curses End" acted on the barrier composed of golden light, Dumbledore immediately felt that his spell was melting away as quickly as snow in spring. In the end, in order to ensure the safety of the little wizard Bourne, he could only bite the bullet and walk into the cave.

However, as soon as he put the Elder Wand into the light to test it, the wand with the same reputation as "the strongest" immediately conveyed to him great indignation and dissatisfaction, as well as a feeling so grand that it could not be described in words. feelings.

It felt like hundreds of millions of people were praying in unison, and it felt like thousands of demons were howling at the same time; it felt like being in the warm amniotic fluid of the mother's body, and it felt like being thrown into the cold deep space of the universe to wander alone...

Revered and feared.

Two completely opposite emotions, working together, strongly stimulated Dumbledore's nerves at the same time, instantly taking over the mind of this man who had lived for more than a hundred years and had become less prone to joy and sorrow.

Just by touching the light a little, he even had the illusion that hundreds of thousands of years had passed. How could he walk in?

"It feels very similar to last time..."

Recalling what happened when he tried to peek into the little wizard Bourne's mind a year ago, Dumbledore couldn't help but rub his swollen temples. Perhaps because the light was too bright, his eyelids hidden behind half-moon lenses were slightly closed.

"...But it's much stronger. Is this caused by the little guy Bourne himself, or was he stimulated by some magic?"

Although some people in the wizarding world secretly always refer to this old wizard as the "White Devil" - as opposed to the Dark Lord, which means that Dumbledore actually relied on strength and resourcefulness to convince others, but he did not use black magic. Magic (of course, that doesn't mean he can't) is it.

What they want to express is: After all, the White Devil is actually the Devil, but his behavior is slightly different from that of the Dark Lord.

Dumbledore didn't refute this at all. Whether publicly or privately, he even felt that those people were not necessarily slandering him.

Because everything they say is true.

However, the real difference between the White Devil and the Dark Lord is that Dumbledore has his own conscience and bottom line.

After defeating Grindelwald, with his strength and reputation, he clearly has the opportunity to become the real leader of the Ministry of Magic in several European countries and lead the future development of the magical world according to his own plans.

However, in the end, he did not choose this path of "enslaving" all wizards in disguise, and left the future of wizards to all wizards.

After discovering Tom Riddle's problem, he was fully capable of nipping the hidden danger in the bud, or he could do it more covertly and induce Tom Riddle to become an Obscurus.

However, he still brought Voldemort, who was just an orphan at the time, back to Hogwarts, hoping that education would change his nature.

It is precisely because of this that in Dumbledore's life, he did many things that had good intentions and made no mistakes in the process, but the results were very different from expectations.

In fact, Dumbledore sometimes wondered whether the reason why he was attracted to Grindelwald was because of some kind of magic at work - magic obeyed the wizard's will, and the will deep in his heart had actually always been expected. Then he can also have a pair of eyes that can glimpse the future.

However, he would eventually convince himself that it was all his own illusion.

A bright future should never belong to him alone. Everyone should have the power to control their own life.

This time is no exception.

Although the pressure Bourne brought to him was no less than that of Tom Riddle, he still hoped that Bourne would have a bright future of his own...

"Maybe it's just a little too 'bright'." Dumbledore muttered rather self-deprecatingly.

The golden light stimulated him so much that he couldn't help but cover his eyes with the back of his hand. However, although Lumen became stronger, his powerful magic intuition told him that what was happening in the cave was not a bad thing, and the whole thing had reached the stage where it should end.
