Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Quirrell was stunned.

I said in my heart that when I saw that note, I was so scared that I wanted to cast the Avada Kedavra on you, but you came out and said that you wanted to support me and not be afraid of Snape.

"What kind of brain circuits do these little wizards have now?" Quirrell complained secretly in his heart. However, the expression on his face was full of gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you for your support." Quirrell said hypocritically: "I will definitely not be afraid of that guy Snape - but I am curious, how do you know Professor Snape... uh, he Threatened me with some things.”

"It's Harry!" Ron replied excitedly: "He heard it with his own eyes. No, he saw it with his own ears. That's not right either..."

Seeing that he couldn't speak clearly, the little witch Hermione grabbed Ron who was eager to express himself. "It's Harry," she said. "Today at the end of Quidditch practice, Harry accidentally broke into the Forbidden Forest while tracking a golden snitch for training. He saw you and Steve on the treetops. Professor Nepp.”

"Did you see Snape and me?" Quirrell said in surprise with his eyes widened. The heart he had just put in his stomach was once again hanging in his throat.

"Yes, I was hiding in the treetops." Harry confirmed this statement. After all, this was what he told Hermione and Ron.

"But I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

He explained before continuing to confess: "But I did hear Snape say things like 'How to subdue Hagrid's three-headed dog Fluffy' and 'Understand who you are loyal to'. And this is also Let me finally confirm that Snape really wants to get through the seven levels in the restricted area of ​​the right-hand corridor on the fourth floor and get Nick Flamel's Philosopher's Stone."

It turned out to be the case.

Quirrell couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Harry Potter didn't hear Snape ask him, "Are you loyal to the Dark Lord or to me?"

Um? Wait, that doesn’t seem right either!

The method of subduing the three-headed dog Fluffy, Nick Flamel's magic stone, and the seven levels in the restricted corridor - how did this little kid know that there were seven levels? You know, even he, who was dragged by Dumbledore to participate in the level layout, only knew six levels!

"Is it possible that this is the so-called 'Savior' ability, and that Harry Potter possesses top-notch prophetic magic talents such as the 'Third Eye'?"

Just when Quirrell was thinking about questions, a voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Have you learned to think independently? That's good, but don't think about it next time - just ask Harry Potter in front of you Isn’t it enough to be special?”

After being scolded by Voldemort with a gun and a stick, Quirrell immediately became obedient and talked to the trio in a coquettish manner.

However, neither the person who asked nor the person who answered noticed a pair of eyes staring at them on the far wall.

Yes, it’s Sherlock from Magical Portraits. Not only that, there are some other people tonight... ghosts to be more precise, who will also be paying attention to Quirrell's every move.

Watson has received news from his old friend. This good old doctor is very popular even after his death. He quickly gathered a group of ghost friends in Hogwarts-each of them has a lot of time.

After listening to Watson's request, these ghosts patted their chests and promised: Hogwarts is my home, and I rely on everyone to love and protect me.

They are more than happy to act as "vigilantes."

As a result, a large group of ghost patrollers appeared in Hogwarts Castle without any pay. They ensured that not even a mouse could sneak in quietly tonight.

must admit,

These ghosts are indeed very motivated.

Many living people would pale in comparison to them. For example, two Auror employees who are on patrol at the French Ministry of Magic——

Both men were wearing blue and white wizard robes, but instead of a pointed wizard hat, they were wearing a red Phrygian bonnet.

They have to patrol the Ministry of Magic at night, and are also responsible for investigating a disappearance case that has occurred for several months.

"Okay, stop wandering around, just walk around the corridor for a while and then go back." One of the older Aurors said with a yawn.

While patrolling, he ate several croissants. After eating, he looked like he needed to go back to the duty room to get some sleep.

"Huh?" His partner is an Auror who has passed the exam this year. As usual, he has to intern with his seniors. "But...don't we still have to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of employee No. 70913, the Madago cat? Don't we have to look for any missing evidence during patrol?"

The old Auror was startled by his partner's words. He looked at the young man in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"You don't mean to say that you are really going to work hard to find that big black cat, do you?"

The young Auror was a little overwhelmed by the questioning and didn't know how to answer. He could only look at his senior with an innocent face.

"Isn't this an order from above?"

"So you still have this idea!"

The old Auror slapped his forehead with a 'You are still young after all' expression on his face, "Well, I just happened to teach you a lesson tonight.

Putting aside orders and non-commands, let me ask you, what are our job responsibilities? "

The young Auror was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He knew this question!

This is a common question in the written examination for Auror promotion, and can easily be confused with the answer to "What are the responsibilities of the Ministry of Magic?"

The basic duty of the Ministry of Magic is to uphold the Statute of Secrecy, while the duty of the Aurors is to fight against dark wizards and Muggle witch hunters, and to protect those wizarding civilians who are unable to protect themselves.

But when the standard answer in the review material was given, the old Auror who was working with him frowned, seeming to be dissatisfied with the answer.

"Then... is it to protect every wizard, regardless of whether he is suspected of being a dark wizard or not?" He thought of the "fraternity" slogan advocated by his country, and then added cautiously.

"Wrong, absolutely wrong!"

The old Auror taught earnestly: "Our duty is to make every wizard and civilian feel that they are protected!"

The young Auror's eyes widened.

"Also, don't get involved with those nasty dark wizards casually——"

The old Auror had a "what are you thinking" look on his face.

"——They should have known that civilian wizards would not be protected by Aurors."

When the young rookie Auror heard these words, he felt thunder rolling in his head.

After taking a deep breath, he used his last stubbornness to ask: "But our director really issued an order to search for Madago cats. After so long, even though I only looked intermittently during patrol, I did find that Got some evidence..."

"Stop it!" the senior Auror spat: "Guess why I don't write your findings into the weekly report? I'm afraid that your report will anger our director and delay your regularization time. !”

He had an expression on his face that said "I hate iron but cannot become steel", and his excitement was palpable: "Your parents and I are old friends, and we can't just watch you go down the wrong path.

Remember, boy!

Although it is the director's responsibility to issue orders, listening to the opinions of his subordinates does not allow him to receive an extra copper nut allowance!

If you do this, it will be difficult for him..."

As he spoke, the old Auror calmed down, and he seemed to have thought of something terrible.

"...or worse, what if we, or someone who reads your report, actually find out something?"

Well, now the young Auror was completely speechless. He could only raise his hands to show that he was indeed convinced and would not be confused again.

"I understand, I will never..."

The young Auror was stunned, and choked on the second half of the words.

Because just at that moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a Madago cat with a triangular head suddenly appeared on their patrol route.

If he admitted it correctly, the cat still had an alchemy nameplate hanging around its neck that was issued to every member by the French Ministry of Magic.

It happened to be activated now, and some conspicuous red tracks appeared in the air, forming a line of serial number: 70913.

In the French Ministry of Magic, Madago cats are common, but the Madago cat with staff number "70913" is not common. This cat has been lost for almost two months!

And just today, tonight, on the patrol route of their two Aurors, that Madago cat actually appeared again!

Moreover, it didn’t come back on its own.

An unlucky little wizard, together with his pets, were all trapped by Quirrell's serial traps. They traveled from England to France, from the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts to the French Ministry of Magic.
