Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

In the evening, at the gate of the castle.

The players of the Gryffindor Quidditch team carried their brooms and returned to the castle to prepare for the dinner.

Today is Halloween, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is in session again.

But just as they walked through the door, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared in front of these little wizards.

"Peeves, what do you want to do?"

Worried about Peeves causing trouble, Wood took the lead and walked to the front of the team to protect all the team members.

However, Peeves really wasn't looking for trouble this time, he just wanted to find a few people to chat with.

"If, I mean if -"

Peeves called the Bourne and Weasley twins aside and asked them a question in a low voice.

"——If someone slaughtered a pig in Hogwarts Castle, the pig would be about 170 pounds, but because... well, his technique was not skillful enough. Not only did the blood spray all over the wall, but the pig was also sprayed all over the wall. The pig's pork was all scattered into dregs and could not be recovered at all...

What should he do? "

Peeves glanced at the Weasley brothers and found that the twins swallowed their saliva, so he could only hope for Bourne.

"First of all, we need to determine whether 'that person' has the authorization to kill the pig?" Byrne emphasized the pronunciation of the word 'that person'.

"Where can I get that thing?" Peeves anxiously took off his deerstalker hat, his hair standing on end.

"Secondly, did 'that person' use a promethium burner or something similar to annihilate the genetic evidence afterwards?"

Peeves blinked. Although he was certainly not illiterate, he could only understand a few words of what Bourne said.

Noticing Peeves' reaction, Bourne could only say the truth in the end: "Then there is no other way. I advise you to surrender."

The draft blew into this ancient castle, bringing waves of chill, leaving only Peeves as a ghost in the wind.

"Bourne, Peeves will not really trick Professor Quirrell..." As he walked towards the banquet hall, George looked back at Peeves and asked Bourne in a low voice.

"I'm just scaring him."

Bourne took out his wand, pointed it at himself and the twins, and used the magic spell to clean away the sweat stains on the Quidditch robes.

"Headmaster Dumbledore and Grandpa Horace, they all told me that Hogwarts will protect all students and teachers.

This is an extremely powerful magical contract. As long as we are in this castle, we will be protected by this magic. "

He told the truth.

In recent times, because of the great progress in transfiguration, he has been trying to combine transfiguration and alchemy to create a bolt gun with his own hands.

But as a result, he made a model of the weapon but found that chemical energy weapons seemed to be subject to certain restrictions in Hogwarts Castle - not only was the power of the bullet greatly weakened, but the firearm itself became very prone to malfunction.

Puzzled, the studious Bourne consulted several professors and Grandpa Horace on this issue.

The answers given by other professors are basically: Just like Muggle electrical appliances cannot be used in the castle, this is a magical feature of Hogwarts.

Only Horace and Dumbledore, because they had spent more time in Hogwarts Castle and knew more about it, gave a more detailed and reasonable explanation: What did they "science" to Bourne? It's called ancient magic, and it also mentions a kind of "ritual magic" in ancient magic.

"...Why must the little wizard go back to the old path of the Big Four when he enters school? Why must the little wizard attend the sorting ceremony when he enters school?

Obviously, relying on the two magic props of the 'Pen of Acceptance' and the 'Book of Admission' is enough to determine the young wizard's admission qualifications.

The answer is that these seemingly unnecessary processes are actually necessary steps to complete the ritual.

Only after completing this ceremony will the little wizard sign a contract with the magic school, and you will be protected by the castle for the next seven years.

Under the influence of this contract, it is difficult for young wizards to be fatally injured at Hogwarts, and some minor injuries can even be cured overnight.

Think about what happened to Harry in the vampire attack you experienced before. The guy named Compaore, his last punch could have blown the little wizard's head off.

But in the end, he missed the target, and his fist grazed the frame of Harry's glasses and hit the wall - this was the powerful protective magic at work - although there was no brilliant light or spell, it was magical and had remarkable effects... …”

This is Horace's reply to Bourne.

However, there is one thing to say: Bourne's Grandpa Horace is indeed knowledgeable enough, but his specialty is potions after all.

Horace had an understanding of ancient magic and ritual magic, but the depth of the discussion was not as deep as Dumbledore's.

In his reply, Dumbledore not only conducted a 'science popularization' for Bourne like Horace, but even reminded him how to get started with these two magics if he wanted to further study them!

"...If you are interested, Bourne, you can learn about the 'Muggle Expelling Curse'. There are many related books in the library.

The so-called 'Muggle Expelling Curse' is actually just one of the huge spell system of 'Expelling Curse'.

The 'Expelling Curse' is the one with the most traces of ancient ritual magic among all current spell systems.

Generally speaking, wizards mainly rely on their own will to cast spells.

In fact, it is difficult for a wizard with insufficient willpower to successfully cast a spell.

However, modern magic spells have become very efficient because they have been improved from generation to generation. Coupled with the invention of the magic wand, the difficulty of casting spells was further reduced.

Modern spells have become very simple.

However, in ancient times when magic spells had not been improved and the wand had not yet been invented, wizards who were not able to rely on their own will to cast spells had to find another way.

So, they invented ritual magic.

Through rituals, wizards can gather a collective wizarding will and use it to successfully cast spells.

It is worth mentioning that in order to protect themselves, the wizards of that era created the most ritual magic that was various expulsion spells.

Some are used to drive away Muggles, some are used to drive away wild beasts, some are used to drive away dangerous magical creatures, and some banishing spells can even drive away natural disasters such as floods...

The reason why some Muggle items in Hogwarts Castle will inexplicably fail is actually a manifestation of the banishing spell.

Although it is also nested in protective magic, the two do not conflict, right?

In the castle, the power of Muggle firearms will be greatly weakened. This is related to the incident many years ago when Peeves used a flintlock to cause havoc in Hogwarts.

Because, it was because of that incident that the young wizards and professors understood the dangers of Muggle weapons. They developed a collective will, which prompted the castle's protective magic to expand the scope of protection and exert a 'repelling' effect on Muggle firearms.

Likewise, since that time, successive principals have insisted on offering the course 'Muggle Studies' at Hogwarts.
