Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Dumbledore said with certainty.

The reason is very simple: he really conducted a lot of experiments on "a kind" of dark magic creature that can be classified as a magical beast.

Note that it is “a kind”, not “a group” or “some”.

On the northernmost island of Drea, Scotland, there once lived a population of five-legged dark magical creatures, but they have all disappeared.

The name of this creature is five-legged monster.

The Pentapod, also known as the Hairy McBoone, is a five-legged, highly dangerous creature. This carnivore is covered in thick reddish-brown hair and has a deformed foot at the end of each leg.

Unlike some dark magic creatures whose origins have been lost in history, the five-legged monsters appeared not too long ago, and many people know their origins.

On the island of Delia, there once lived two wizarding families: the McBoone clan and the McLever clan, and there was a feud between them.

Once, the leaders of two wizarding families, Dugald McIvor and Gents McBoon, had a drunken wizard duel, and Dugald McIvor was killed.

In revenge, members of the McLever clan attacked the McBoone clan and transformed all of the latter's members into pentads using human shapeshifting.

However, the people of the McLever clan soon realized that although the original McBoone clan members were very clumsy in using magic, their transformed monsters were undoubtedly more dangerous.

The MacLever clan desperately tries to transform all the MacBoons back, but their repeated use of human transformation has unforeseen consequences.

The McBoones who were transformed into five-legged monsters were like wizards who had gone terribly wrong in their practice of Animagus magic.

Even worse...

They completely forgot that they were originally wizards and noble human beings, and instead accepted that they were "five-legged monsters."

These five-legged monsters killed all humans on the island, including the MacLever clan, and spared no one, whether wizards or Muggles.

For some unknown reason, as a carnivore, the five-legged monster has a special preference for humans. Therefore, they are extremely hostile to humans.

Since its appearance, all humans who set foot on the island will become the five-legged monster's prey, and only a very small number of wizards with powerful magic can escape from the island.

In order to discuss how to deal with this monster, the British Ministry of Magic held many Wizengamot meetings (Sages' Meetings), and the final solution was to set Delia Island as an "unmappable" area.

This would prevent Muggles from discovering and landing on the island, and since the five-legged monsters could neither swim nor fly, they could not cross the sea to harm innocent Muggles.

As for wizards, although some powerful ones have ways to circumvent the "unmappable" restriction, they have no reason to go there.

Because, during the Wizengamot meeting, the Ministry of Magic organized many experts to conduct a large number of experiments on the five-legged monster, including dissection.

First of all, magical animal experts have determined that the five-legged monster is a completely uncontrollable dark magic creature.

In a sense, they are even worse than Dementors, because they are completely unable to communicate with humans and cannot be tamed or used for their own purposes.

Even if the "Immortal Curse" is used on them, once humans appear near them, they will still hunt them driven by instinct.

Even if that person was the wizard who cast the Imperius Curse on him, this situation could not be avoided.

Secondly, those potion scholars and alchemists have also determined that there are no usable magical materials on the five-legged monster.

Finally, the Ministry of Magic found that the only value of this five-legged monster to the wizarding world was that it provided a magical animal symbol representing the number "5" for the runes in ancient magic...

Naturally, the Ministry of Magic lost interest in managing this kind of dark magic creature, and the result of the Wizengamot meeting was to confine it on the island of Delia and let it fend for itself.

Although this method of disposal cannot be said to be very responsible, it is inexpensive and of good quality.

Perhaps at the beginning, some wizards would object to this, but as time went on, with the arrival of other interesting information in media such as the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly, wizards gradually forgot about the five-legged monster.

Only a very few people still remember that on the island of Delia, the northernmost island of Scotland, there lives a five-legged dark magical creature.

And among these people was Dumbledore.

Dumbledore in his youth was more radical than he was in his old age, even much more radical.

Before his sister's accidental death and his breakup with his "lover" Grindelwald, Dumbledore's thoughts could probably be described as "radical conservative."

Like Getter Grindelwald, he also has the ideal of controlling all "factors that threaten the survival of wizards", and a powerful magical talent that may really be able to realize this ideal.

Therefore, Dumbledore has always had the idea of ​​containing all those unnatural dark magic creatures.

But unlike Grindelwald, Dumbledore is more rational and understands that "Rome was not built in a day."

Taking the five-legged monster as the first experimental subject was his first step to test his idea of ​​containing dark magic creatures.

In the first step, he personally went to Delia Island and collected all the dozens of five-legged monsters that were still alive there into a container that he expanded using the "Seamless Extension Spell".

As a highly powerful wizard, he cast the "Untraceable Stretching Spell" to expand enough space in the container, and even simulated nearly one-third of the topography of the Delia Island almost one-to-one!

In addition, he also added enough water and food inside the space to meet the five-legged monster's survival needs.

However, during the experiment, he gradually discovered a problem: although they had air, food, water, and enough space to survive and move around, the five-legged monsters had been contained in the space of the "Seamless Stretching Spell", and their bodies were actually becoming weaker and weaker.

Because the five-legged monsters are no longer human, there is little moral burden, so even after discovering this situation, Dumbledore at the time still had the determination to continue to shelter them and keep a close eye on them at all times.

This lasted for about three years, until Dumbledore was about to graduate, when the experiment finally produced its final result.

Without exception, all the five-legged monsters that were taken in by him slowly died in that containment space due to physical weakness.

Moreover, as the five-legged monsters gradually weakened and died, their bodies underwent some changes to varying degrees: some human characteristics began to appear on them.

This result shocked Dumbledore greatly.

Because it can lead to a reasonable guess: the reason why those five-legged monsters are becoming weaker and weaker is probably because as magical creatures, their magic power gradually dissipates in the unreal space formed by the "Seamless Extension Spell" and cannot be replenished.

The dissipated malicious transformation spell effect on the five-legged monster is the best evidence to prove whether this guess is correct or not.

Dumbledore, who deduced this conjecture, was shocked at first and then ecstatic, but he soon thought of a very terrifying possibility.
