Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 143 Lies and Truth (page 12)

Newt Scamander, who still didn't know what kind of "treasonous" statement Voldemort made, was facing a very difficult choice at this time.

Although he and the three little wizards hid in his suitcase in time, not long after he hid in, he found that he and others seemed to have encountered a super troublesome thing.

They are trapped.

"It's a permanent sticking spell!" Seeing the milky white liquid seeping through the cracks in the door frame, the magical animal expert couldn't help but smacked his lips worriedly.

He was actually no stranger to this kind of spell.

In fact, he has treated many swallow-tailed dogs in his life that suffered mental health problems due to their tails being cut off by the "Painless Cutting Curse". The method he used was to stick a plush on them with the "Permanent Adhesive Curse" Downy prosthetic tail.

Therefore, he is also very aware of the characteristics of this spell.

"This kind of spell is difficult to remove, that's why it's called the 'Permanent Pasting Curse'. Ordinary counter-spells have no effect on it."

While he was rummaging through some things on the shelves, he taught the three little wizards about magic knowledge in every possible way.

This old wizard with social phobia has a more delicate mind than ordinary people.

He thought that this might be able to distract the attention of these little wizards and allow their tense nerves to relax a little.

But in fact, this doesn't have much effect.

"Professor, where is this?" the little witch Hermione asked, stroking her chest with her hand. She tried to take a deep breath to prevent herself from being too nervous.

A few seconds ago, while being brought into this strange room by Newt, she landed right next to a deer pen.

There was an elk with huge antlers inside - at least, that's what Hermione thought at first sight - however, after seeing the stranger, the "elk" opened its abyssal maw as if reflexively. .

It is no exaggeration to say that after its mouth is opened, it even looks like it can swallow a crab.

Hermione was so frightened that she fell to the floor. Fortunately, Scamander just comforted the big-horned deer, and it stopped its "muscle flexing" action and began to quietly eat the malt from the trough again. and alfalfa.

Ron and Harry fared slightly better than Hermione. However, when Ron turned around and saw a horse-shaped water monster biting pieces of salmon through the glass of the water tank, he immediately pulled his friend and moved a few steps away from the water tank.

For these little wizards, apart from the magic that is visible to the naked eye, the rest of Newt's suitcase is a bit too exciting. And they haven't even gotten closer to seeing some of the other magical animals raised elsewhere in this space.

When he heard Hermione's question, Newt found exactly what he needed.

"Now we are in my suitcase. The dark wizard Quirrell did not follow him in, but blocked the way out." As he spoke, he opened the lid of the barrel full of grubs and took out the wine with his fingers. A few plump meatworms.

He motioned to the little wizards to step aside, then put the bugs on the floor, and then made a series of "beep beep" sounds from his mouth.

Following his imitation, several fat, fluffy, flightless birds suddenly appeared next to the old wizard.

"This is the ball escaper." Hermione recognized this magical animal. "I read it in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. They are native to Mauritius and are famous for their extraordinary means of escaping danger. The ball escaper can disappear without a trace without any effort and appear from another place at the same time. However, ordinary people like my parents often call this magical animal the dodo."

Unlike some other magical animals, Muggles are fully aware of the existence of the ball evader.

However, because they did not understand that the ball escaper had the ability to disappear freely, Muggles thought that they had hunted this bird to extinction.

This seems to have raised the environmental awareness of Muggles, making them aware of the dangers posed by the indiscriminate hunting and killing of the animals they live with day and night. Therefore, the International Confederation of Wizards believes that there is nothing wrong with not letting Muggles know that the ball escaper still exists.

"That's right. I'm very happy that the little wizards at Hogwarts can get to know such interesting animals as ball evaders. Most of you can't see them in the UK."

Seeing that the ball evaders had already eaten the grubs, Newt felt relieved and replaced the lid of the wine barrel.

"Next, we have to rely on them to get out of here. These ball evaders have accepted the gift I gave them - this special grub is their favorite snack - we will be able to eat it later. Relying on them to get out of my suitcase, I guess..."

"Newt, you don't want to leave your suitcase." Before Professor Scamander finished speaking, with clusters of sparks flying, a fire phoenix appeared in front of him with an old wizard. before.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Seeing Newt and the others trapped in the suitcase from the double-sided mirror, Dumbledore, who originally planned to use the vanishing cabinet to enter the secret room to attack Quirrell, had no choice but to ask Fox to send him here first.

"It's better for you and your 'little cuties' to stay together at all times."

Dumbledore simply waved his wand, without using any spells, to calm down the magical animals that had become a little restless due to Fawkes's appearance.

"Headmaster Dumbledore!"

Several young wizards looked at the sudden appearance of the principal in surprise. The complex events that occurred tonight had exceeded the ability of their little minds to think. To see Dumbledore himself at this time was like rediscovering Dumbledore. Backbone.

"Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger. I regret to inform you that your adventure tonight should be considered over. Moreover, you have all learned some lessons."

"Yes, it's like this..."

Harry really wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"But Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell are still outside, and they seem to be still fighting. Professor Quirrell is probably related to the 'You-Know-Who', and he wants to steal Nick Flamel's Philosopher's Stone."

The little witch Hermione quickly added.

Dumbledore just smiled, and then took out a palm-sized ruby ​​with an extremely irregular shape from his pocket.

"Maybe." He said, "But I need to teach you one thing - just like this suitcase of your Professor Scamander, things that need to be carefully protected must often be taken away anytime, anywhere. Carry – it’s about taking responsibility for yourself and those things.”

The three little wizards looked at the magic stone in the hands of the old principal, and their little heads couldn't turn around for a while.

How could this be?

Since this magic stone has always been in Dumbledore's pocket, what is the "restricted area" set up in the castle?

Similarly, what is the meaning of the adventure levels they tried to solve tonight?

Dumbledore had already seen through their little thoughts, but the old wizard didn't explain too much:
