Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

The deans of the four houses of Hogwarts select two prefects, one male and one female, from among the fifth-year students in their houses every year.

After being elected as prefects, these people will remain in this position until they graduate from seventh grade, barring any serious fault.

Moreover, the male/female student council presidents of Hogwarts are basically selected from among the prefects.

It can be said that every prefect at Hogwarts has an outstanding wizard.

Although it is undeniable that some of these prefects have grown up to be dark wizards, and some may have unsatisfactory future lives, it is true that no one who can become a prefect is a mediocre person with mediocre magic power.

After graduation, these prefects will basically become the mainstay of the magic world, and most of them will work in the Ministry of Magic.

Most of the British Ministers of Magic in the past generations were actually prefects of various houses when they attended Hogwarts, and even Minister Fudge was no exception.

There were even some good wizards who came up with an algorithm to judge whether the British Ministry of Magic was running well.

They believe that as long as they count the proportion of people who have served as Hogwarts prefects among the main heads of various departments of the Ministry of Magic in that term, and see if this proportion reaches 70% - the number "seven" is magical If the number is reached, it means that the development situation of the Ministry of Magic is relatively optimistic; on the contrary, it means that the Ministry of Magic is filled with a large number of mediocre people who have nothing to do with their bodies, and there is basically no need to count on the Ministry of Magic in that term.

Although these statements are somewhat "rumors", they can also explain the level of "Hogwarts prefects".

They are the face of Hogwarts!

Bullying a young wizard at Hogwarts may be just a challenge to Dumbledore's good temper; bullying a prefect at Hogwarts may be equivalent to slamming the soles of your feet into the walls of this thousand-year-old institution. Losing face, this is an insult to every wizard born in Hogwarts.

Merlin couldn't stand this kind of thing!

Not to mention, Horace Slughorn has taught Hogwarts for decades and also served as the headmaster of Slytherin. The word "Hogwarts" in this old man's heart may have as much weight as Bourne, the only heir in the family, is almost the same.

Seeing the old man who usually showed a "cheerful" face, his face suddenly sunk like water, Bourne couldn't help but said: "Those guys have a way to die. Not to mention, they dare to arrogantly call themselves 'emperors'—— Merlin can't save them even if he comes."

Of course, this does not mean that Horace immediately wants to go to the door alone and smash the "Emperor's New Clothes" store.

He is a wizard, not a gangster, and civilized people naturally have more civilized ways of doing things.

"Miss Crevat, don't worry, I will help you solve this matter."

Horace regained his former good-natured look, and then jokingly said to Penello: "Also, we can also write a letter to your Headmaster Flitwick. I'm actually very surprised, how can those villains have the courage to bully Excellent student leader in Ravenclaw?

Don't they know that in addition to loving learning, Ravenclaw students actually have many wizard dueling champions? "

Upon hearing this, Penello showed a look of joy at first, but the joy on her face quickly disappeared.

The young witch lowered her head and held her sleeves with both hands. "In fact, my father did borrow money from the 'Emperor', and they also signed a magical contract. This contract was notarized by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. So..."

And just when she wanted to continue saying something, a limping figure suddenly walked out of the alley next to the Bazaar Street and walked quickly to a few people.

"There's something wrong with that magic contract."

Penello looked at the visitor and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Professor Kettleburn, why are you here too?"

When Bourne and Horace saw this, the grandfather and grandson couldn't help but look at each other, and the two smart men showed exactly the same look of understanding.

"I see."

-

Clean water magic pet shop.

Just like the name of the store "Qingshui", this pet store is cleaned spotlessly and there is no bad smell that is often found in ordinary pet stores.

However, this may also be related to the insufficient supply of goods in this pet store. Most of the row of pet cages against the wall of the store are empty, and it seems that no "tenants" have lived in them for a long time.

The store door is closed, the window blinds are drawn down, and the entire store can only be illuminated by a few tallow candles.

"This shop was originally opened by a friend of mine, his name is Icario Krivat." Sitting on a Greek-style Davros folding wicker chair, Professor Kettleburn was drinking oatmeal. , said to Horace.

"This child's name is Penelo Crevat. She is Icario's daughter. Of course, she is also a student of our Hogwarts."

Looking at the young witch who couldn't help but fall asleep after drinking the oatmeal mixed with a small amount of "living hell soup potion", the old professor's eyes showed a trace of affection.

"One of the purposes of my coming to the Pillars of Hercules this time is to take her back to the British Isles. I also have a spare property in Hogsmeade Village, which is just suitable for Miss Crevat to live."

"So, Siwa, you have other purposes for coming here?" Horace discovered the hidden message in this old colleague's words.

"Yes, Dean Slughorn." Professor Kettleburn pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and admitted.

“About Christmas last year, Icario wrote me a letter and asked me some questions about the kelpie.

I was recuperating from an injury at that time and could not come to him in person, so I wrote a letter to introduce the lovely magical animal, and then asked the owl to send him several books introducing the habits of the Equus.

Then, about three weeks ago, just before exam week at Hogwarts, Icario wrote to me to tell me that he had a nasty case of dragon pox.

I originally wanted to rush to see him, but he told me in his letter not to go to him first, but to do something for him first.

He said that someone had ordered a water monster from his store before and wanted to keep it as a pet.

You know, here at the Pillars of Heracles, there are many laws that are more relaxed than in the UK, except for the "Secrecy Act".

Kelpies are not classified as 'untameable' wizard pets - adult wizards, if they are capable enough, can actually adopt them legally.

Icario had already imported an adult equestrian, but just as he was escorting it to the port of Gibraltar, the equestrian transformed into a sea snake and escaped from the gap in the cage.

In the process of trying to catch it again, Icario was bitten, and the horse-shaped water monster turned into a sea snake and completely escaped into the sea.

However, he used a marking spell I taught him to mark the kelpie.

Perhaps because the horse-shaped water monster carried germs, Icario developed dragon pox soon after being bitten.

He was very worried that the water monster would attack others, so he wanted me to help catch it. "
