Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 167 Racing Weasley (page 13)



"You can't, at least you shouldn't...get into the trunk!"

Percy loudly reprimanded his two brothers in an angry tone.

Early this morning, a house elf named Momo came to the Burrow to deliver a letter. This letter was addressed to him by name.

After reading the contents of the letter, Percy, a relatively "alternative" Weasley who has always been known for his rules, couldn't calm down instantly.

He immediately rushed to the garage downstairs of his house and drove into a [Polonaise] that his father, Mr. Weasley, bought from the Ministry of Magic for a small amount of money two or three months ago and had just modified it.

The car's original owner was a wizard, an immigrant from Eastern Europe.

Because he cast a spell on a big tree after drinking, and then wanted to ride it to play Quidditch, he was severely punished by the British Ministry of Magic.

In the end, the wizard put up his modified car as collateral to pay the fine from the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

The whole thing was uneventful.

As the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles, Mr. Weasley used an internal discount price - less than 10 Galleons - to buy back the mortgage that was supposed to be sealed in the Ministry of Magic's warehouse.

Although he didn't understand any mechanical principles, with the help of the "Repair Spell", he dismantled the car's parts and cast many spells on it.

He modified this car into a magic car, and in addition to running on the ground, it also has a basic function of flying in the sky!

When this car is flying in the sky, its "fuel consumption" per 100 kilometers is seven "floating spells".

Originally, as the (probably) most conservative wizard in the Weasley family, Percy didn't like the car parked in his shed garage.

In his opinion, if you want to fly, a broomstick is the vehicle that a wizard should use; and if you want to travel long distances, then applying for a "portkey" from the Ministry of Magic is the right way.

However, after receiving the letter from his junior disciple Bourne, he felt anxious and couldn't care less about the tradition——

The broomstick is too slow;

Go to the Ministry of Magic to apply for a "portkey". It's a weekend, and he's not Dumbledore...

Therefore, the Gryffindor prefect could only grit his teeth and get into Mr. Weasley's car.

He pressed a small silver button on the dashboard. The car disappeared—and so did he. He could feel the seat vibrating, hear the engine, feel the car's chassis lifting off the ground.

The ground on both sides and the crooked chimney on the roof of the Burrow suddenly sank, and they were no longer visible for a while. The car rose higher and higher, and in a few seconds, the entire village of Ottery-St. Catchpole appeared below them. In the morning, some families in the village had just lit their cooking fires.

Percy stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew out like an arrow. His wand also floated and turned into a pointer, indicating the direction for him.

In this way, under the guidance of the wand, after flying for about an hour, with a "pop" sound, the car and Percy reappeared.

The car drove straight through a blanket of low-altitude cotton-like clouds, everything became dark and blurry, and the clouds pressing in from all sides made him feel a little dazzled.

Fortunately, he knew that what he needed to pay attention to was only some Muggle flying equipment, such as "leftover chickens" and "air buses".

What really guided him in the direction was the magic wand floating above the center console of the car.

Moreover, walking in the clouds makes it easier to avoid the sight of Muggles, and it is less likely to cause any trouble that is difficult to solve.

Percy poked the invisible booster, "There is indeed something wrong with this switch-"

However, before he could finish speaking, two affirmative replies came from behind him.

"Yes, there is something wrong with this switch."

"No, I think there is something wrong with the Disguise Curse that Dad cast. He ignored some useful experiences given by the two of us."

Percy felt his face become square.

"George, Fred..."

Percy gritted his teeth and looked at the rearview mirror, seeing the twins who had just rolled from the narrow trunk of the Polonaise to the back seat.

"...Why are you in the car?"

The twins looked at each other and then laughed in perfect agreement.

"Originally, we wanted to secretly drive this car out for a while."

"However, as soon as we got into the car, we found a 'Mr. Weasley' walking into the carport."

"We thought it was dad, so we hid in the trunk in the back."

"As a result, now I know that 'Mr. Weasley' is not dad, but Brother Percy, you, 'Mr. Weasley'."

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

At this time, the [Polonaise] finally broke out of a low cloud, and its wheels were flying across the soft sea of ​​clouds. Under the dazzling daylight, the entire sky was bright and blue, boundless.

Only the driver's mood and the scenery around him cannot be said to be in harmony with each other, or they can be said to be completely opposite.

However, because this magic car has been driving for more than an hour, the "Levitation Curse" has been used 8 or 9 times, and there is no longer land under it but vast expanse of blue water, so even if Percy wants to turn around and take the twins Throwing it back to the Burrow was out of the question.

"You two, listen up."

Since there was no way to send the twins back, he decided to find something for them to do: lest they cause any trouble while driving halfway.

"I'll say hello to you in a moment, and you can cast the 'Levitation Spell' on the 'W' emblem on the center console." Percy said, "Since you are already in the car, then the 'gas cost' of this car, You also have to share a part.”

-

"how much is it?"

"Twenty pounds, or four gold galleons."

The Anglia taxi stopped in front of a tunnel entrance. The taxi driver did not look at the meter, but looked at his watch and calculated the fare.

Taxis here are charged by the second.

Although this is a Muggle rule, it is really profitable, so a wizard taxi driver also learned it.

Dumbledore frowned and asked, "Did you learn the 'Muggle-Wizard Currency' exchange ratio from Gringotts?"

The reason why Dumbledore asked this was because the price of this taxi was a bit ridiculously expensive.

He is not the kind of "old-fashioned" who knows nothing about the value of money in the Muggle world, and as the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore actually has to deal with Gringotts once every year before the start of school. Otherwise, Gringotts would not agree to exchange wizard currency for young wizards from Muggle families, and also set an upper limit of 200 galleons per person per year.

You know, Gringotts usually does not accept Muggle currency. Except for the young wizards at Hogwarts, adult wizards cannot exchange Muggle currency for even a copper Knut from Gringotts.
