Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Hogsmeade Village in November has reached the end of autumn, and winter is about to begin.

After standing deep in the alley for a long time, Mundungus felt a little cold.

He took out the half-empty bottle of Firewhiskey from his pocket and wanted to take a few sips to warm his body.

However, considering the upcoming transaction, he finally put the unscrewed bottle cap back on and put the bottle back into his windbreaker pocket.

"Damn guy." Mundungus stomped his feet in coldness, and the sound of stomping sounded in the deserted alley.

"We clearly made an appointment, why is he so late this time?"

He suddenly thought of a bad possibility: "Could it be that the wizard discovered that I mixed some light salt water into the blood of the magical animals he bought, so he didn't plan to come?"

Impossible, he is not a potions master like Snape, and the potions that need to be brewed will not have such strict material requirements, right? "

Mundungus, whose full name is Mundungus Fletcher, is nicknamed "Dung" (meaning "dung" in English).

His professional experience is very rich, and his resume includes but is not limited to: liar, thief, lobbyist, wizarding intelligence broker, smuggler of prohibited magic materials, Knockturn Alley roadside stall owner, unregistered door key holder …

In addition to murder and arson, this guy has done almost all bad things.

However, even after doing so many illegal activities, Mundungus still maintains the record of "0 enrollments in Azkaban" to this day.

This is because this guy has definitely invested a lot of time and thought in the skill of "playing both sides".

For example: More than ten years after the rise of Voldemort, Mundungus took the initiative to find Dumbledore and joined the Order of the Phoenix. He took on the task of collecting intelligence from the wizarding world on his own.

Until the fall of Voldemort, he was working for Dumbledore, and Dumbledore never wanted to find anyone else to replace him - this also shows that, regardless of his character, Mundungus' work ability is indeed Recognized by "the greatest white wizard of our time".

When looking for him to buy magical animal blood rich in magical power, Quirrell actually found the right person.

(Of course, Quirrell has always hidden his identity, and Mundungus only knows that the person he is trading with is a wizard.)

Because Lord Voldemort needs to "replenish his body", Quirrell "cannot do without" the blood of magical animals almost every day, and must drink at least half a pint (about 250ml) every day.

To be honest, his dependence on magic-rich blood is even more exaggerated than that of the previous vampires.

If he were not looking for the "wild" Mundungus, but looking for someone else to buy it, Quirrell might not be able to buy a large amount of magical animal blood rich in magic power.

Although the blood of magical animals is usually used to make potions, and those potions are generally normal trade items among the magic circles of various countries, the fact that the end product can be circulated does not mean that the raw materials can be circulated - as for the reason, I understand Everyone understands that this is indeed a monopoly.

Pure-blood wizarding families who have the ability to monopolize knowledge (the Slughorn family) and talents (the Dumbledore family), while those who have little ability (the Malfoy family and the like) can only monopolize limited magical resources. .

Ironically, the latter was once the main object of unity when Voldemort rose, but now he has become one of the biggest obstacles to the Dark Lord's resurrection plan.

On the contrary, Mundungus, who was once an important member of the Order of the Phoenix, has now become Voldemort's helper in hanging his life.

I have to say that sometimes, reality is more magical than fiction.

"What should we do next?" George glanced over the abandoned furniture, retracted his head, and asked Fred and Bourne in a low voice.

Although they had always been naughty and mischievous in the past, the twins had never had the experience of squatting together in what was suspected to be an "illegal transaction" like today. Neither of them had any good ideas at the time.

This kind of thing depends on Bourne.

During those years of wandering in the Warhammer universe, he inevitably entered the hive many times and saw all kinds of bad people and bad things.

The first time he saw Mundungus, his brain automatically generated different action plans that could be divided into two categories, adding up to a total of about seventeen or eighteen.

One type of solution is very simple and crude:

The first step is to go over and knock that person down;

In the second step, whether it is using physical means such as the "Great Memory Restoration Technique", or using memory magic or veritaserum, you will definitely be able to find something useful in his mind;

The third step is to make those things into a complete chain of evidence to correct the fact that Quirrell committed the crime, and leave all the rest to Principal Dumbledore to handle.

But the problem is that although this kind of plan is very convenient to implement at the beginning - Byrne estimates that it will only take three punches and two kicks at most, no more, and if there are more witnesses (Mundungs), he will probably be dead - But starting from the third step, things get a little troublesome.

Regardless of whether it is difficult to create a chain of evidence or whether the two-faced Quirrell will quibble, even if Voldemort's remnant soul is finally brought to justice, Bourne will actually be dissatisfied.

Is that a matter of judgment?

Is it a matter of putting Quirrell in Azkaban prison and handing him over to the dementors?

Since the vampire incident, Bourne accidentally purified the Horcrux that the heretic got from nowhere (

Regarding blasphemous and degenerate items such as "Horcruxes", Bourne's attitude became very clear: The Emperor is above, these things must be strictly purified!

Purifying heretics and aliens is what the Astartes should do. Even some weak judges in the Tribunal will not strictly enforce the matter of finding evidence.

Therefore, after consideration, Bourne chose another response: although it was a little troublesome at first, it should become easier to deal with later.

Taking out the deformed lizard wallet that Grandpa Horace gave him, Bourne took out a bottle of "Living Hell Potion" - a potion made from mugwort and narcissus root powder, also known as It is the "water of life and death". It can be used as a poison at high concentrations and as a very effective sleeping pill at low concentrations.

Although this is something only learned in potions class in sixth grade, it’s hard to resist the fact that Bourne has a grandfather who likes to cook small stoves for him.

Every week, Horace would write extra letters to Bourne to "correspondence" about potions knowledge that was far beyond his current learning progress, and would also urge him to go to the potions classroom to practice on his own when there was no class.

"Keep your breath." Bourne reminded the Weasley twins before uncorking the bottle of "Living Hell Potion".

One of the benefits of being a library assistant was that he and Mrs. Pince learned many magical techniques for controlling the environment (in order to preserve all kinds of strange magical books), including a spell that worked like a mist humidifier.

"Misty!"

Because he worked in the library for a long time, Bourne was already familiar with this spell and could cast it silently. He tapped the mouth of the bottle of "Living Hell Potion" with his wand, and then pointed the wand at Mundungus standing deep in the alley.

The potion in the bottle quickly atomized and turned into a hazy mist, which spread to Mundungus in an instant.
