Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Christmas is a happy day. Harry and Ron originally planned to have a good rest and play wizard chess in the common room.

Ron has a wizarding chess set inherited from his grandfather. Although it looks shabby on the outside, it is actually a dragon's tooth chess piece produced in the Hebrides.

This set of antique wizard chess is divided into two camps, red and white, rather than the black and white of modern wizard chess. Each chess piece is made from the teeth of an adult male black dragon in the Hebrides. Even after years of baptism, the magic attached to it has not expired.

Moreover, this set of chess pieces, the queen and soldiers, is also very interesting. The queen is covering her face, while the soldiers are all biting the shields in their hands.

In some festivals, the chess pieces of this set of antique wizard chess will also be decorated with some floral arrangements, and chess players can unlock different holiday effects when playing chess.

Originally, Harry and Ron were going to occupy the armchairs near the fireplace in the common room, playing chess leisurely while eating barbecue cubes, puddings, mushrooms and other foods that could be eaten with a double-ended fork.

Of course, they were also going to discuss some nefarious plans, like "How to get that annoying Malfoy kicked out of school."

Although the result will probably not be realized, just talking about this kind of thing can actually make people happy, right?

However, all this was in vain now, because of the bad news that Percy brought them: Professor Snape was invited.

After watching his two roommates put on "Pain Masks" and leave the dormitory, and then rejecting the Weasley twins' invitation to explore the newly discovered secret passage, Bourne unwrapped the remaining gift paper packages alone.

After all, if things like "unpacking express delivery" cannot be completed in one go, normal people will always feel unhappy.

Because he had earned the title of Gryffindor's "little scorer" last semester, Dean McGonagall sent him a set of exercises in order to encourage him: "Five Years of OWLs, Seven Years of NEWTs".

As a member of the "Ranger" team, Professor Scamander and Hagrid also gave him two books related to magical animals: "Monsters and Their Origins" and "The Monster Book of Monsters". He figured the Weasley twins had the same treatment as him.

One of the more surprising gifts was Godric, the good student from Hufflepuff.

Because they had been to the Forbidden Forest together before and had an acquaintance, Bourne gave him seven or eight 30% off coupons for all categories of "Slug Potion Shop" two days before Christmas. Let the owl deliver the package alone.

Today, Godric sent Bourne a very Hufflepuff-style return gift: some unique magical plant seeds. They were neatly put into a plastic medicine box with compartments only used by Muggles, and each compartment was carefully labeled with the Latin name of the plant.

Among them, some seeds are actually quite rare on the market. They should be rewards given by Professor Sprout to young wizards who have performed well in class from time to time over the years. However, it is estimated that only Godric, the outstanding student representative from Hufflepuff, has the ability to gather so many.

For example, spores from the cap of the jumping toadstool, roots from the shriveled fig, root pieces from the biting cabbage, seeds from the sneezeweed and scurvy, spores from the devil's web, live slices from the elephant vine, and seeds from the sapweed. …

And Godric also wrote a thoughtful note to Bourne, telling him that if he is interested in planting it himself, he can go to the Magic Carrot Herb Shop in Hogsmeade Village to buy some planting pots - which are larger than those in Hogwarts. Greenhouses, the products and accompanying tutorials provided in that small store, are more suitable for small-scale cultivation.

This gift is quite thoughtful.

In particular, because he had dealt with biting cabbage before, Bourne was actually quite interested in this magical plant.

If everything goes well, after cultivating the biting cabbage to maturity in a while, he plans to use the "shrinking spell" and "freezing spell" to preserve it.

Then, when you encounter a certain dark wizard you are destined to deal with (yes, Quirrell, I'm talking about you), throw out the frozen biting cabbage unexpectedly...

In his mind, he was already imagining the exciting scene of the awakened biting cabbage, like a pit bull, biting the two-faced professor crazily.

"This tactic is not only interesting to think about, but it also has practical significance." Byrne kept thinking about how to use this "biting kale grenade" correctly.

As for whether he can grow strong biting cabbage, Bourne is not worried at all.

Because while patrolling the Forbidden Forest, he had already discovered a large group of Moon-Crazy Beasts living in the Forbidden Forest. These animals like to dance under the moon. After their excrement is dried, it becomes the best magical plant biofertilizer. Just sprinkle some to accelerate the growth and development of biting cabbage.

With these plant seeds, coupled with the excrement resources of the Moon Chime Beast, Bourne had a premonition that in the second half of the semester, in addition to using the "Spirit Summoning Potion" and alchemy to make his first decent set of power armor, he said Maybe you can also unlock a side plot of "Hogwarts Seed: The Rise of the Goblin".

"I'll just wait and see."

Snape said coldly: "Through the Potions class I gave you before, I have completely confirmed that a person's reputation and his true ability are not actually equivalent..."

The professor got up early.

Before he brought Harry and Ron to the office, he had already drawn in detail the standard procedure for removing the horny growths from the forehead of the long-horned toad on a small blackboard. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Although two little wizards were asked to do the hard work, that annoying Harry Potter was Lily's son after all. Even though Snape couldn't say nice things, he still hoped in his heart that he could learn more.

"Lily loves and is best at brewing potions." Looking at Harry Potter's eyes that were the same color as his mother, Snape fell into reverie.

However, he quickly got out of this state, because this little wizard had a disgusting face.

Harry Potter's appearance is almost exactly the same as that of his short-lived ghost father when he was a child, as if he was carved from the same mold.

"Put on your dragonhide gloves," Professor Snape's tone became impatient. "If you don't want to spend the whole Christmas holiday with your hands wrapped in thick gauze, or worse, lose a finger or two."

Because Harry and Ron were still stuck on the spot, staring stupidly at the barrel of squealing horned toads, their four clear and ignorant eyes not looking at the protective equipment placed in front of them.

"This is truly the worst class of students I have ever taught." Facing Harry and Ron, Snape said something he would say once or twice a year.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Hermione came back the day before school started, and when she saw Harry and Ron, she said this.

That sudden look of surprise really startled the two little wizards who had been helping Snape handle those disgusting potion ingredients and almost had a nervous breakdown.

"Oh, Hermione, can you stop being so loud?" Ron said feebly as he lay on the table holding a cup of hot tea: "You remind me of those damn horned toads——
