Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

What is the time?

If you look at it according to the calculation method, it is just a reading used to measure the frequency of celestial body's periodic motion.

The reason why some people keep it secret is simply because it is invisible and intangible, and it is difficult for three-dimensional creatures to observe and understand it.

Most human fears stem from the unknown.

However, it is difficult for a person who has experienced the subspace and experienced the "last page" (see Chapters 27 and 28 for details) of the webway singularity crossing event to still maintain a sense of awe for the concept of time. .

Of course, Bourne had not discovered this before. It was not until the moment Dumbledore used the Deluminator that he discovered that he seemed not to be affected by the [Time Bubble] and that his eyes could see the essence of some things.

The reason can be roughly understood as the cycle interval within the [time bubble] is small enough, and some things in the physical sense are all "compressed".

Dumbledore's use of "Legilimency" to interact with Mrs. Zabini's consciousness was also compressed into something else in Bourne's golden haloed eyes. And if I have to use one word to describe this kind of thing, only "information" is the most appropriate.

However, what Bourne saw was not conventional information formats such as language, text, or graphics. What he saw was actually [facts].

The change in the policy of the Dominatrix Reform Committee was triggered by a prophecy. Dumbledore relied on asking questions to get the answer, while Bourne witnessed this with his own eyes:

Mrs. Zabini's grandmother once paid a high price for a prophet who had opened the "Celestial Eye" to make a prophecy for the Dominatrix Reform Committee.

"By drinking a bowl of pink soup, you, a race that no one cares about, will start the road to prosperity."

"The power to hold the wand is the necessary ladder to success, and the glory of the wizard will be inherited by the new ethnic group."

"When the saint of the 'three bodies' is born, the past, present, and future will no longer be obscured by the fog, and the eternal legend will begin to appear from the numbers 9 and 6."

"Pioneers, inheritors, successors, the ending you expect also anchors the cause at the beginning."

And the moment the prophet with the third eye finished the prophecy, that person did not know what kind of magic was affected - Bourne believes that that person may have noticed the [fracture of the subspace entity] that followed him through this world. Information]——The whole person's skin turned pink instantly.

At that time, the prophet was stunned, and Mrs. Zabini's grandmother who asked him to do the divination was also stunned.

What happened next further proved that the prophet had some real abilities. At least the people who came to him for divination really believed his predictions.

Because in the next second, Mrs. Zabini’s old grandmother knocked out the prophet, and changed her usual style, physically complying with the traditional customs and eating habits of the dominatrix, and threw the prophet into the pot where the soup was being cooked. Large pot of soup.

She stewed him! ! !

What's even more outrageous is that after the prophet put the pot into the pot and continued to cook it for more than a month, he actually made a bowl of pink soup. Zabini's grandmother poured the "pink soup" that fit the prophecy into her stomach while it was still hot.

Then, after that "breaking the precept", the development path of the Dominatrix Reform Committee gradually became what it is today.

During this period, it was not that they had not encountered some twists and turns, and it was not that they had not been targeted by some powerful wizards due to carelessness.

However, after drinking the "pink soup", the old hags of Mrs. Zabini's lineage actually awakened a kind of innate magical ability.

They can plant a very terrible "curse" on the "husband" they choose.

The reason why Mr. Zabini, whom Bourne met in the Pillars of Hercules shopping street, turned into a man of indulgence was precisely because of this.

Well, I guess I can’t say that——

Because that guy was not a good person to begin with, and his transformation into a minions of Slaanesh seemed not entirely due to the curse.

"The unlucky prophet spied on the information about the subspace entity, and the subsequent troubles related to [Slaanesh] also caused changes in the Dominatrix Reform Committee. It seemed to confirm his own words, but it can only be said that To say that it explains the first sentence of the prophecy, add at most half of the second sentence.

The third and fourth sentences of the prophecy should have nothing to do with what the Dominatrix Reform Committee is doing. After all, the 'Three Kayas' and the 'Number 9' cannot be used as representatives of Slaanesh, but are symbols of that cunning strange bird.

What's more, pioneer, inheritor, successor - these three terms, combined with the word 'eternal' in the prophecy, a dominatrix reform committee with only a history of more than 200 years does not seem worthy of corresponding. ——They seem to refer to someone else...or something else. "

While thinking about it, Bourne had some bad guesses.

At the same time, he continued to "watch" Dumbledore's questions about Mrs. Zabini.

I have to admit that this legendary old wizard's wisdom attribute points are almost full, which can be said to be a perfect strategy.

Even if it were Burne who asked everything himself (he understood everything), he wouldn't dare to say that he would ask more detailed questions than Dumbledore.

"Think about Grindelwald and Voldemort... I can only say that their loss to Dumbledore was not unfair at all. They chose the wrong opponent from the beginning."

But just after he praised the old principal for his wisdom, he accidentally got his own taste.

Not long ago, it was clear that he had controlled the Hydra to conduct several rounds of truth greetings to the seaside villa, but Mrs. Zabini had no knowledge and mistook the Caron Cannon and Congreve Rockets for strategic magic.

As we all know, ordinary wizards do not have the ability to use such powerful magic.

Therefore, she identified the person who released this magic as Dumbledore, the great warlock recognized by the wizarding world, the principal of Hogwarts, and the great white wizard.

"Not only did that damn old man bomb my summer estate, he even shamelessly had Mundungus sabotage my auction—"

In Bourne's "vision", Mrs. Zabini was so angry that her face became ferocious, showing some characteristics of a dominatrix.

"——A magical painting sold to us by Mundungus turned into a monster and attacked my guests indiscriminately.

That's the portrait we paid for!

We spent money!

Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. But there were manipulations in that portrait. Do you understand? It’s always us who harm other people.

This time it’s that hateful old man who’s tricking us, it’s really unforgivable..."

Putting aside Mrs. Zabini's thoughts, both Dumbledore who asked the question and Byrne who looked on were very curious about the chaotic magical portrait she described.

Perhaps because Occlumency had reached its full level, Bourne couldn't "see" the principal's thoughts clearly, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"...After generations of continuous stacking and adding layers of materials, it has become particularly thick..."

"...It's so lifelike and lifelike that it even retains the wand that was used during his lifetime..."

Bourne's face became a little strange.

He realized that he should take another look at the "acquaintance" he had become very familiar with over the past year or so, that is, Mr. Holmes.

Of course, this is something that comes later.

Well now.

When he realized that he had completed enough inquiries, Principal Dumbledore thought for a moment before closing the lid of the deluminator with a snap.

The time loop ends.

While everyone was still stunned, a shining rope made of magic erupted from the top of the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand, and in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Zabini and everyone under her were tied together.

Even the two old hags who were knocked unconscious by Tonks and Delis were not spared. The magic rope even extended to the second floor and the bathroom...

"What is this?"

With a scream, a little wizard who had just pulled up his pants was dragged down from the second floor, passively facing the two emotions of social death and fear.

"This is Mr. Zabini."

Dumbledore didn't expect to see a young wizard who was still attending Hogwarts here, so he was also surprised.

"I think you need to explain why you stay here?

Of course, I also want to confirm with the people present whether what you said is true.

As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I must remind you - honesty is a virtue - and this is a rule that is required by all four houses of Hogwarts and that every student must abide by.

If someone fails to comply, Hogwarts will no longer welcome a student who tells lies. "

Blaise Zabini, this handsome boy who even Draco Malfoy didn't think highly of in the Slytherin House of Hogwarts in the past, turned out to be like a frost-beaten eggplant at this time, and he was so scared that he didn't even know it. How to deal with it.

Until the Auror Office subsequently sent personnel to remove the pink barrier covering Privet Drive, take away all Mrs. Zabini and others who launched "terrorist attacks against Muggle civilians", and increase the number of people. When he was in a hurry to go through the check-in process of "Azkaban Resort", the little wizard did not give Principal Dumbledore a satisfactory answer.

Finally, when the professionals from the Ministry of Magic began to sort out the necessary memories of the Muggle civilians involved, Blaise Zabini still stood there sweating profusely, dumbfounded.

When Bourne followed Mr. Arthur Weasley to say goodbye to his two classmates, he saw Principal Dumbledore sighing helplessly for the last time, followed by Dean Snape who was also silent. Walked out of the Dursley's door.
