Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Sometimes, for some people, the mouth under their nose seems to be illuminated.

And Peter Pettigrew might be even better.

Just thinking about it attracted the attention of a magical portrait.

Originally, the wizard, who was wearing a green silk robe, a red belt around his waist, and a Learypiper hood, was meditating on a game of wizard chess. But with just a glance, he saw the big rat standing upright with its hands on its waist.

This man's name is Brian Gagwild. As can be seen from the portrait, he is a fan of wizard chess. His other identity is a principal of Hogwarts in the 14th century.

If the Weasley twins were here, they would definitely call him their idol. Because Brian Gagwild was also a master of spells, and his book Jigglypoke and Hobblers (Tricks and Nonsense) was the first prank spell book in the history of magic. Encyclopedia.

"Such a big rat is rare. Is it the pet of some little wizard?"

Principal Geiger Wilder looked down at Mouse Spotted on the wall and twirled his beard thoughtfully.

"Something's wrong. No matter how smart it is, a mouse is just a mouse. It can't do such human actions unless it's a human."

The former headmaster of Hogwarts widened his eyes and looked at Peter Pettigrew carefully, and then he felt more and more that his guess was correct.

In the middle of the night, an "Animagus" wizard who could transform into a mouse slipped into the campus. If you had to ask the old principal what he thought...

"You don't look like a good person at first glance."

Moreover, it cannot be said that Reigaigwild is judging people by their appearance - although that is what he does - because in a sense, "Animagus" magic can indeed reflect the essence of a wizard.

The brave will become lions; the loyal will become hounds; the unfaithful may become doves...

Animagus is in the form of a mouse. Although it may be because the wizard looks too sinister, the most likely reason is that his personality tends to be a despicable and sinister villain.

In addition, Principal Gaige Wilder thought of his new "chess friend", that is, the great detective Sherlock, who is famous in both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. He specially requested them tonight to let them use these magic skills. Portraits Keep an eye out for unusual occurrences in the castle.

So, he naturally picked up the hand bell that was inside the portrait and placed next to the wizard's chessboard.

"Dingling bell~~~"

Not only that, Gagwild also shouted loudly: "An Animagus wizard broke into Hogwarts!"

His shouts echoed far down the silent corridor, alarming people upstairs and downstairs. Even if many of the characters in the magical portraits hanging on the walls had already rested, they were all howled out of their sleep.

"Shut up! Old man!" Peter Pettigrew was so frightened that he returned to his human form.

Immediately afterwards, he pounced on the portrait with bared teeth and claws, intending to literally tear Gaigwild's mouth into pieces.

But just as he did this, the knight who had been standing behind him suddenly came to life in full armor. It swung the ax in its hand, hooked Peter's arm, and then hit his head hard with the shield in its other hand.

Duang!

Without any surprise, with a sound like a watermelon exploding, Peter Pettigrew was knocked unconscious.

"Who is this person?"

"Is he always so brave?"

"Didn't anyone tell him that Principal Geiger Wilder knows kung fu?"

"What does this have to do with kung fu? Also, what does kongfu mean?"

"It's nothing, it's all right."

"..."

Some other characters in the magical portraits also ran over after hearing the noise. They crowded into the background of the picture near Principal Geiger Wilder, pointing at Peter Pettigrew who was lying on the ground with a big bulge on the back of his head. point.

While the discussion on these magical portraits was in full swing, two people came over, and Professor McGonagall came to this corridor with Quirrell.

"Headmaster Geiger Wilder," Professor McGonagall greeted the former headmaster, "This is the person who wants to attack you? An Animagus."

"That's right," the headmaster nodded and said, "Because only seven wizards have registered with the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic in the Ministry of Magic this century, including you, Minerva, so I think you must come and see it. Look at this guy.”

He had already found other magical portraits to send a message to Professor McGonagall.

"I really don't remember such a person. In other words, this person should be an illegal Animagus."

Professor McGonagall looked at Peter Pettigrew lying on the ground. Although he could not see his face, she could not compare his short stature and round body with the other six registered Animagus wizards in her memory. Number.

"This, this, this must be a criminal." Quirrell, standing behind Professor McGonagall, suddenly said.

Moreover, he spoke very categorically, assigning the identity of Peter Pettigrew in one fell swoop.

"He, he, he probably knew from somewhere that Principal Dumbledore was not at school today, so he sneaked in and wanted to... do something bad."

Quirrell almost said the words "stealing".

But when the words came to his mouth, he realized that it was a little too sure - it seemed like he knew something - so he stuttered and changed his words.

"This is indeed a possibility." Professor McGonagall glanced at Professor Quirrell and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, she waved her magic wand and used the "Levitation Spell" to make Peter Pettigrew, who was lying on the ground, turn over.

"Let's see who this guy is..."

But when she saw the fainted person's appearance clearly, the Hogwarts vice principal suddenly froze, and she quickly covered her slightly opened mouth with one palm.

"How could this happen? How could..."

-

"It must be like this!"

Ron said categorically to Hermione: "Snape must have escaped from the Ministry of Magic overnight!

Moreover, the reason why he returned to Hogwarts immediately was because he wanted to come back and steal the Sorcerer's Stone! "

Just now, Harry and Ron "bribed" Burn's pet Khan left in the dormitory with a bag of dried fruits, so that the mixed-blood Niffler, who could legitimately enter the girls' dormitory, helped them bring a message to Granger.

Ron quickly recounted the story to the little witch, explaining that Harry saw Snape sneak into Hogwarts Castle with his own eyes.

Moreover, when he said the last sentence, he said three "certainly" in a row - the triple affirmation expressed strong affirmation. Hearing him say this, Hermione instantly believed the judgment they made.

"Then what should we do?" The little witch was a little undecided for a moment, "Otherwise, we should report to Professor McGonagall immediately?"

"no!"

Although Harry had remained silent before, he suddenly spoke up and rejected Hermione's idea.
