Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Often it is just trivial things that end up having consequences that are as serious as big things.

For example, send a report letter.

That letter was just one of seven sent simultaneously, but it was delivered by owl to an untrustworthy recipient.

It is precisely because of it that a certain thing happened, and then there were many twists and turns.

The development of things became Qian Xuesen's ballistic trajectory - although the starting point and end point were certain, the trajectory in the middle became confusing.

"I have already sent..." Horace counted on his fingers, "...seven letters in total."

After deciding to strike hard, Horace did not hesitate. He immediately took Bourne back to the Hydra.

Soon, Horace sent out the house elf Momo and the owl on the ship to deliver several letters at the same time.

Director Weasel of the Gibraltar Office of the Ministry of Magic, because of the close distance, gave it to a long-eared owl to deliver - only this letter was given to the owl, and the other letters were all given to Momo by Horace for her to use. Disapparate from a distance and deliver it personally to the recipient.

Because of the discovery of the Manticore, a 5X-level dangerous magical animal native to Africa, Horace contacted Master Babajide Abaginder, the vice president of the International Federation of Wizards, and the world-famous Newt Scamander, an expert in the field of magical creatures.

And because the case involved the Imperius Curse, Horace also wrote a special letter to Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, pointing out in very sharp words: The Pillars of Heracles are also British territory and belong to us. The area under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic is not a lawless place.

In addition, Horace also sent a letter to Rufus Scrimgeour's boss, Amelia Bones, who had just been elected as the Director of Magical Law Enforcement not long ago. This witch was also Horace's. A member of Gwartz's "Slug Club".

In the letter, in addition to describing the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the horrific crime, Horace also expressed congratulations on the achievements of this former good student.

At the same time, he also enclosed an invitation to the upcoming "Slug Club Dinner" to be reconvened.

Not surprisingly, Horace also sent a letter to Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick, because he felt that he must inform these two old colleagues of what happened here.

First, this is an insurance policy.

First, Penelope Crevat, a young witch, is a student at Hogwarts and a prefect of Ravenclaw.

In addition to these letters from Horace, Bourne also sent two letters: one to Godery's Hollow and the other to Hogwarts.

The recipients of the two letters are also his "acquaintances": one is the Gryffindor prefect Percy Weasley, and the other is Mr. Sherlock.

There is no need to explain the reason for sending a letter to Percy.

It was no secret in the small circle that the two prefects, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, had a crush on each other - due to circumstances, Bourne felt that he had to inform Percy - both brothers helped this That's all, you have to take care of the rest.

The reason why he wrote to Mr. Sherlock was that Bourne felt that since this matter had become a case, it was best to hire an experienced detective to sort out the clues inside.

As expected, Mr. Sherlock was really interested in this matter. When Momo came back, she brought the other party's reply——

"Dear classmate Bourne, I am very happy to receive your letter for consultation. It makes Watson and I feel a little bit looking forward to this boring weekend.

However, I may want to pour some cold water on you, because Mr. Slughorn, although very comprehensive, seems to have got one thing wrong.

You shouldn't have informed that Weasel.

Watson and I consulted a newspaper clipping book - thanks to the rich content of the sports and entertainment section of the Daily Prophet, we were able to provide strong support for our previous inferences.

In 1990 and 1991, Mr. Weatherall signed up for two consecutive annual broomstick competitions, and all rode customized broomsticks.

Swift Arrow, customized price: 4000 Galleons.

Thunderbolt 3, customized price: 3080 Galleons.

At the same time, in last year's competition, Mr. Weasel got a personal interview with the Daily Prophet because he successfully entered the top ten. The magic photo (see enclosed newspaper clipping) also captured him driving at the time. private antique carriage.

As a ghost, Mr. Watson has extremely profound memories of his experiences after death.

The first time he saw this carriage, he remembered its origin - it belonged to the original 24th Minister of the British Ministry of Magic, Hector Foley, and was once auctioned in Diagon Alley. .

It is an alchemical work that has the effect of an enhanced Muggle expulsion spell, and it also has a certain historical value because it was once used to transport Grindelwald across countries who was arrested by the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

The last time the carriage appeared in public was at an auction held in 1988. The Ministry of Magic commissioned Gringotts to dispose of a batch of "historically significant but unfit for further use" office items.

Watson remembered that this lot was sold at a high price of 10999 galleons, so it caused some excitement.

At that time, Watson and I bet that this carriage would probably be parked on the lawn of Malfoy Manor and collect ashes. Unexpectedly, its real buyer turned out to be the unknown Mr. Weatherall.

Two broomsticks and a carriage. In four years, he spent nearly 20,000 gold galleons on these three items alone.

Referring to the Ministry of Magic staff salary standards, this is probably equivalent to this person's entire income in about twenty years!

Although I don't know if he is a descendant of a large pure-blood family, but even assuming that he has a large amount of wealth for him to squander, the speed of spending money is really too alarming.

This makes it difficult for me not to suspect that he has some shady and unethical source of income.

And given the intelligence provided by you and Mr. Slughorn, it is almost impossible to remove the suspicion that he is related to the criminal organization known as the Pillars of Hercules..."

Focusing on details, Mr. Sherlock once again gave Bourne a lesson in deduction in an extremely vivid way.

"Merlin's fat pants!"

When Horace saw this reply, his first reaction was to utter an exclamation of annoyance.

"Damn it! I also sent that guy a letter. He should have received it. Our plan has been exposed."

Despite his young age, Bourne is more resistant to pressure than his uncle.

Problems are not the most terrifying thing. What is scary is that you are afraid that you will not be able to face the problems positively after they occur.

"We have to take action!" Looking at the annoyed old wizard, Byrne quickly reminded: "You have to go to Professor Kettleburn now and ask him to bring Miss Crevat here. Rather than clinging to the store in the Pillars of Hercules shopping street, it is undoubtedly safer to stay on the Hydra."

"That's right!" Horace was about to step out of the cabin excitedly, when he suddenly stopped and asked in confusion: "Aren't you coming with me?"
