Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

"Meow meow meow meow!"

Just when Bourne was using "Passepartout" to clear the way, and was about to open the maze of file cabinet corridors and run out of the hall of the French Ministry of Magic, Ryan, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly let out a series of "roars" in his ears.

Not only that, it also stretched out its little claws and kept patting the helmet of Bourne Fire Dragon Armor.

The meaning was obviously telling him: You are going in the wrong direction.

"Isn't the exit this way?"

Bourne looked at the revolving door less than ten meters away from him, and then looked at the place pointed by Ryan with his chin raised. There was no door, just a life-size brass chariot sculpture.

Ryan nodded humanely.

Although magical animals generally cannot learn and master a wide variety of spells like human wizards.

However, they are highly specialized in aspects related to their magical talents.

In many cases, magical animals are more sensitive to this kind of magic than most human wizards.

Ryan has the dual bloodline of Mao Lizi and the mythical beast Zouwu. The former makes it smarter than ordinary cats, while the latter makes it have a strong affinity for space-related magic.

So when it was pointed out that the real "way out" was not a revolving door but a brass sculpture, Byrne immediately took it seriously.

"That does make sense," Bourne thought to himself.

Because, since such a complicated labyrinth of filing cabinets can be arranged in the foyer, and only 'Passepartout' can be used to break this defense mechanism, it is indeed a bit underestimating the foundation of the French Ministry of Magic.

What's more, when it comes to things like magic, what you hear with your ears is not necessarily true, and what you see with your eyes may not always be true.

Many times, wizards have to learn to follow their inner feelings and follow their intuition. And his intuition told Bourne that the "way out" pointed out by Ryan was most likely true.

So, he immediately turned around - because the change of direction was a bit fast, the Madago cat bumped into his heel - and quickly rushed towards the golden brass chariot.

"How do you open this door?" Bourne tried touching the sculpture twice, but it had no response, so he asked Lane again.

"Meow meow meow! Oooh~~"

Ryan stood upright on his hind legs, making dancing gestures with his two front paws while making some sounds with his mouth.

Still suffering from the disadvantage of not being able to speak, unlike Bourne's half-blood Sniff who could only speak well, it took Ryan a long time to explain his intentions clearly.

"You mean, let me stand on this chariot?" Bourne asked, tilting his head.

Ryan just nodded desperately, but his eyes were a little evasive, as if he didn't want to look into the dark yellow eyes behind Bourne's armor.

And Byrne soon learned why. He jumped up and onto the brass chariot set in front of him on a marble base.

Because this is a work of art that is imaginary from ancient Greek mythology, the actual size is much larger than the chariots that actually existed in history. Four or five ordinary people can stand on it without looking too crowded.

Standing on the chariot in Primaris Astartes form, Byrne looked exactly like the man who built it imagined his driver to be, the sun god Apollo.

"Then what……"

Bourne patted the railings of the chariot. After he stood on the chariot, he discovered that although the sculpture contained vague magic fluctuations, it still did not change much.

Before he could finish speaking, Ryan jumped from his shoulder to the railing of the chariot, with sharp nails popping out of his outstretched claws.

"Shuashuashua——"

Its nails scratched the reins made of gold wire, making a harsh scraping sound and causing a series of sparks.

Along with the sparks, streaks of "beep" lightning appeared on the sculptures of four winged silver horses in front of the brass chariot.

These lightning bolts seemed to turn on a certain switch, and the silver rune horses made of copper alloy suddenly came to life, and the rune-like spots on their bodies also became shiny under the baptism of electric light.

The four huge bronze horse sculptures swing their necks left and right and spread the wings on their backs, as if they are warming up for the next activity.

"Herod-"

As one of the silver rune horses neighed, the other three giant horses responded with the same neigh.

"Isn't this supposed to be..."

Bourne seemed to understand something and looked down at Ryan. At this time, the little kitten was jumping left and right excitedly on the railing a hand wide.

Don't pretend, it's a showdown!

Before Bourne could speak, the muscles on the four silver rune horses flowed like mercury, and the next second they all jumped into the air. The huge pulling force pulled the chariot, and it was instantly separated from the marble base below.

Wuhu~~take off!

The four silver rune horses flapped their wings, making a roar similar to that of thunderclouds, and flew the chariot directly from the ground to the iconic circular glass dome of the French Ministry of Magic Hall at an elevation angle of nearly 90 degrees.

The last one to get on the chariot was the Madago cat. It hugged the wheels of the chariot with its front paws, and the cat hair all over its body was blown by the strong wind.

However, the violent collision that Bourne expected did not happen. The brass chariot pulled by the silver runes carried him smoothly from the ground to the sky as if passing through a water curtain.

Bourne also had some guesses about this. He suspected that this sculpture, which seemed to have only a decorative function, was probably one of the important means of the "backward strategic advance" reserved by the French Ministry of Magic...

But no matter what, the chariot did take them away from the French Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, after this "four (Silver Talisman) horse power" chariot took off, even Bourne couldn't help but feel a familiar passion.

It may be slower than the "Thunderhawk" gunship dedicated to the Astartes, but it can definitely compete with the "Stormbird" that the Astra Militarum also rides, and it is definitely faster than any flying broomstick. Several times or even ten times.

This is already amazing!

Not only that, when flying at high speed, this brass chariot will also trigger a modified "bubble head spell" - it generates a bubble that can wrap the whole body for each passenger - allowing the passengers to Protection from overload and other negative effects.

It took Bourne a while to figure out how to use the reins to steer the chariot's direction. This kind of control system is not smart or not, the main thing is that it is friendly to novices.

"We have the high-speed vehicle, and I also know the general direction." Bourne now only has one question left: "Where is Hogwarts?"

As the oldest magic school, Hogwarts is protected by layers of magic. Its exact location has always been an unsolved mystery.

No map can plot it.

Some people may ask: Isn't Hogwarts adjacent to the village of Hogsmeade? Can't you find Hogwarts when you find Hogsmeade?

But in fact, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is indeed adjacent to the village of Hogsmeade, but Hogsmeade may not actually be adjacent to Hogsmeade.
