Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"

Horace said indignantly: "Those people are simply dark wizards! No, they are just scum and villains.

The so-called 'Emperor's New Clothes' is definitely a den of thieves and a den for selling stolen goods! "

At this time, Bourne also promptly reminded: "The people in that store are also suspected of using the Imperius Curse on other people."

After Kettleburn heard the "Unforgivable Curse", a look of shock appeared on his face.

Horace then explained to him: "The first coffee shop I took Bourne into this morning, the owner suspected that someone had used the Imperius Curse to tamper with the brain, and gave us the name 'The Emperor's New Clothes'" 'How popular they are with pure-blood families from all over the world. I really don't know those people...huh?"

Seemingly thinking of something, Horace immediately changed his mind: "Yes, that's right!

Those purebloods who came to buy clothes must have been under the Imperius Curse, so they were defrauded of a lot of money!

What is this behavior?

This is transnational fraud!

This group of people is so lawless that they actually hide in this remote corner and use despicable means to harvest the precious wealth of poor decent gentlemen. "

The latter half of what he said, although he himself did not believe what he said was true, was enough to show Horace's shrewdness.

Avoid expanding the scope of the attack, unite all forces that can be united, and at the same time establish a common enemy for everyone.

Kettleburn was stunned by these words. To be honest, even if he was forced to death, he, a magical zoology expert, would not have thought of such a way of speaking.

Originally, the group was only characterized as bold smugglers and murderers.

But after Horace described them, they immediately became the opposite of the entire magical world, and their existence seemed to infringe on the interests of all wizards.

What's more serious is that their actions also provoked the honor of those pure-blood wizard families.

Such a group of "anti-wizard" elements probably won't have the chance to go to Azkaban to spend some time in prison. After they are captured, they will most likely be directly fed to the Dementors.

Look, this is the art of speech, this is the speech of a serious pure-blood noble.

After saying that, Horace winked at Bourne, meaning: Boy, I will only demonstrate it to you once.

Bourne responded with a big smile. Horace thought he was congratulating himself on the summary of his speech.

But in fact, Bourne is just thinking about whether he can go to the door with a chain sword and a psychic scepter to ask the "Emperor" first.

"Who gave you such courage? Not only did you dare to usurp the name of the emperor, but you also dared to do evil in the name of this greatness?"

-

The carriage's wooden tires clattered across the railway line and out of Gibraltar, its towering spiers appearing on the horizon like a dirty smudge.

Weasel could already smell the disgusting stench coming from an ancient horse slaughterhouse, a boiler for boiling bones, a smelting furnace for refining fat...

To his left, some poor simple-minded Muggles made a valiant attempt to plant a vegetable garden.

Unfortunately, diseased weeds have overrun the vegetable garden.

They even climbed over the iron fence and spread to the right side of the road. Even though the farmers spread herbicides, these weeds did not wilt at all.

The carriage passed by the Horse Slaughterhouse.

Living horses passed through the arch, their senses and instincts surely warning them of what lay ahead. In that factory, animals are slaughtered and the skins are boiled in cauldrons and used to tan leather.

In the yard outside the house, shirtless workers were breaking bones with sledgehammers. There were some rooks watching their work, and they always tried to find an opportunity to pounce on them and have a good meal.

“This is a classic crow,” Wiesel thought to himself: “an opportunistic creature.”

However, Weasel was relieved immediately.

If you think about it carefully, isn't he also a raven? Don’t laugh at your own family.

The carriage drove into the factory yard and Weasel jumped out of the driver's seat. After standing still, he immediately asked a blue-turbaned foreman who ran over to greet him. "Is your boss here?"

"Sir, the boss is still in the store." Blue Turban said.

Weatherall took out a silk handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose. Because there was no Muggle expulsion spell here, and there was no velvet grass that could purify the air, the smell inside the horse slaughterhouse was worse than outside, and it was almost beyond the limit of his tolerance.

A dull voice came from behind the handkerchief: "Hurry up and call him over. I have something to do with him."

If it weren't for his status as an official of the Ministry of Magic, it would be inconvenient to go directly to the "Emperor's New Clothes". Weasel would definitely not want to come to this smelly place.

Of course, despite being disgusted, he actually had complicated feelings towards this waste horse treatment plant.

After all, most of his current net worth is provided by this factory, and the various luxury goods made from magical creatures produced here are currently his largest money bag.

Unless they serve as Aurors or strikers, the salary of ordinary employees of the Ministry of Magic is actually not high. The title of Director of Overseas Office, which is not taken seriously, even with the special allowance for overseas work, can only give Weasel every Bringing in less than 200 gold galleons a month.

He is just an ordinary pure-blood wizard - even though his surname is "Weasel", which is very similar to the famous "Weasley" - but he is not a pure-blood noble with a big family and a big business. Gringotts' Naturally, there is no chance to pile up mountains of gold and silver in the treasury.

And his expenses are huge.

For example, the alchemy carriage he needs for daily travel, anything related to alchemy is not cheap, even if it only has a simple "Muggle Expelling Curse" attached to it.

For another example, in order to return to the center of the Ministry of Magic in London, he sharpened his head every year to attend gatherings held by various pure-blood family bosses.

And when it comes to attending a party, Weasel can't just show up empty-handed, can he? He also has to prepare corresponding gifts.

These are only two of his expenses, not counting his hobby of collecting the latest flying broomsticks, his investment in books and alchemy tools to improve his magic power, and the monthly cost of magic tonics necessary to maintain family harmony... …

All in all, under normal circumstances, the Galleons Weasel earned were far from enough to satisfy the amount he spent.

Fortunately, he found a new source of income in time: providing some convenience for the "Emperor's New Clothes" ready-to-wear clothing store.

Weatherall is the director of the British Gibraltar Office of the Ministry of Magic, responsible for the protection of Muggles in this area (of course, everyone knows that this is only to maintain the implementation of the "Secrecy Act") and to increase the employment rate of local wizards (taxation, trade) and transportation).

Even though this place is very remote and no one from the Ministry of Magic is willing to come, it is precisely because of this that Weasel got the opportunity to take on multiple responsibilities.

He knew very well that merchants who did not hold a special license, whether they were involved in trafficking or directly commercializing certain magical animals, were committing a felony in violation of magical laws. Because this behavior destroys the commercial monopoly of some pure-blood families.
