Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Weatherall was frustrated.

Sure enough, people change.

Dean Slughorn, who was usually very friendly to students when he was at Hogwarts, is now wary of his former student.

It was obviously the old dean who had just sent a letter, saying that he wanted him to deal with the criminal gang of the "Emperor's New Clothes" clothing store impartially.

But as soon as he turned his head, the Slughorn family's magic ship set sail and quickly sailed out of the dock he had specially prepared for it.

That pier was a quiet place that he had put a lot of thought into carving out from the Muggle side. Magical ships that usually came and went did not have this kind of treatment.

"Where is the basic trust between people?"

Weasel muttered quietly, his heart full of resentment.

If he hadn't been the director of the British Ministry of Magic's office in Gibraltar, all registered ships, carriages and horses would not escape his inspection as long as they were still in the waters of Gibraltar. He might really have leaked the whereabouts of the old wizard. Lose.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

Weatherall thought to himself.

Then, he turned to look at the Berber hired wizards who were following him. These guys had all followed Zabini's orders to help him.

Although Weasel knew very well that these people were actually spies sent by Zabini, now was a good time to use them to find people.

"You guys go into the water." He said, "The Hydra has left the harbor and is now docked under the cliff on the east side of the 'Heracles Rock'."

This was the information shown to him in the magic register, and it was supposed to be accurate.

Because the situation was urgent, the Berbers wearing light-colored robes and yellow flat slippers jumped directly into the sea water that was as deep as one person at the pier, regardless of the damage the sea water would cause to their woolen jirabas.

(Giraba's appearance)

They all ate "gillyweed."

This magical plant originates on the Mediterranean coast and looks like a sticky, grey-green rat tail.

After a person eats gilly grass, gills that can breathe underwater will grow on his neck, webs for swimming will quickly form between his fingers and toes, and his body's ability to withstand cold and water pressure will be greatly enhanced.

This effect lasts for about an hour.

Usually when capturing some aquatic magical animals, this group of Berber hired wizards would take gillyweed and quickly get into the water. Then, they would use their ancestral arithmetic and divination skills to determine their position while tracking their prey like swimming fish.

Very few things can escape their search, and coupled with their unique and skillful capturing skills, even very powerful water snakes and horse-headed water monsters cannot escape the enslavement of these people.

It is precisely because of this ability that they became the capture team used by "Emperor" Zabini, providing a continuous supply of raw materials for the "Emperor's New Clothes".

The sea breeze blew against my face, soft and moist, like the whisper of a siren. On the east side of the protruding rock, below the cliff, is a blue sea with rolling white waves that seem to submerge the entire world.

The dispatched group of Berber hired wizards all used their strength to shuttle under the water, and their necks with fish gills glowed faintly with a pale light, like underwater creatures with fish scales.

They kept searching, trying to find the magic ship marked by Weasel in this sea area.

Although they didn't know what the principle was, since the ship could hide in the turbulent sea and not be detected by the naked eye, they naturally realized the extraordinary nature of the Hydra.

"...Gululu...use arithmetic...Gululu...divination."

The leader, a Berber wizard wearing a crimson woolen Gilaba robe, spoke loudly to his companions around him.

The sea water carried his voice far away. Although his speech under the water was always muffled and mixed with "Gulu", his companions had long adapted to this situation.

Therefore, after receiving the order, they immediately started taking action.

Different from those wizards who graduated from regular magic schools, the arithmetic divination method used by this group of Berber hired wizards is extremely unique. This is a special arithmetic divination passed down in their tribe. In addition to requiring mathematical calculations, they also came up with a necklace of cow ears strung together with magical water plants. By combining the two, the distance and relative position between the item and the necklace can be calculated.

Several Berbers pulled the corner of the magic water plant together, and the cow ears strung on it kept twisting in the water. Their movements were both sensitive and skillful, obviously the result of long-term cooperation.

This kind of arithmetic divination is very accurate and very simple to perform.

The only drawback is that after each use of arithmetic, a pair of ears from a freshly slaughtered bull must be added to the necklace.

This actually costs a lot of money.

For the ancient Berber tribes, it was quite a burden. Only in their generation, after being employed by the "Dominatrix Reform Association", did these people have a real way to make money, and this arithmetic divination method could be used from time to time.

"...Hurry...Gululu...carefully...Gululu...look for...Gululu...don't waste time..."

The leading wizard reminded his men again.

Their eyes were focused on the seabed, quietly feeling the divination effect brought by magic, and carefully examining various possible signs.

At this time, a dark shadow appeared.

The Berbers swam quickly in this direction, and the shape became clearer and clearer - it was a magic ship, an invisible magic ship!

Although the magic ship concealed its form, it still blocked part of the light on the water, forming a set of faint shadows on the bottom of the water.

However, if it were not for the aid of arithmetic and divination, it would probably be difficult to identify it with the naked eye.

These Berbers followed the shadow's trajectory, rising little by little, and came to the side of the magic ship.

"This boat is a bit big..."

The leader, the Berber wizard, put his palm on the invisible Hydra. His years of experience in living in the Mediterranean allowed him to feel the extraordinary nature of this ship just by touching it.

The size of the ship meant that it cost many Galleons to build.

This is not a little trick like casting a "seamless stretch spell" in the cabin to expand the space, but a real magic ship that requires a lot of magic materials to be built.

And which wizard can be easily dealt with who can afford so many Galleons to build a ship?

If it weren't for the fact that their cooperation with the "Hagsha Reform Association" in recent years has brought them and their tribe great benefits, these Berber hired wizards really don't intend to offend Rui, the owner of the magic ship.

However, after a period of slight silence, they began to reach out under the water without fear and use secret methods to deprive the magic ship of its invisibility magic!

With the unremitting efforts of several people, the concealment spell on the magic ship was finally broken, and the Hydra also revealed its shape. At the same time, two Berber wizards pressed their palms and soles against the wooden planks of the ship's side and began to climb up like spiders.
