Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

In fact, these old wizards and witches were really thinking too much (or maybe too little), because Bourne immediately came up with another "big job" that made them all dumbfounded.

As it fell into the sea with Bourne, the broken wooden board wrapped by the strange "cloth" immediately underwent an impressive "transformation" -

It turned into a hoverbike that had the appearance features of a fire dragon while retaining some wood texture!

The reason why it has the appearance of a fire dragon is because Bourne added a sufficient amount of fire dragon blood into the potion. The blood of this powerful magical animal has abundant magical energy, which subtly affects the effect of the potion.

As for the wood texture, the reason is even simpler: magic is magical, and the effects of potions are significant, but the material basis that can be transformed is, after all, a piece of wood, and the transformed object will inevitably have some of its characteristics.

Among the many features of the wooden board, retaining only the grain characteristics at the material level may be the best choice for the deformed object.

After all, Bourne put the skin of the swallow, which had absorbed some of the energy of the Hogwarts Express magical machinery, into the crucible, and boiled it fully in the "spiritual perception potion" while continuously enlightening it.

At the moment of successful brewing, the skin of the swallow, which had absorbed all the "spiritual perception potion" and produced a virtual soul, now had a loyal machine soul, and identified itself as a hoverbike belonging to the champion of a certain company of the White Scars!

Preserving the wood texture is the only and best result. The other characteristics of wood are completely unable to realize the function of the machine soul in the real world.

As soon as the hoverbike appeared, Bourne immediately sat on it and turned on the propulsion engine.

"Praise the Emperor!"

Bourne uttered a prayer in his heart, and the wand in his hand turned into a psychic scepter.

At this moment, the loyal machine spirit in the hoverbike finally stopped treating Bourne as a strange human child, and regarded him as a new member of the Imperial Guard - yes, you read that right, because only the Imperial Guard would undergo genetic modification from an early age, even the Astartes could not compare to them.

The machine soul of the hoverbike felt that it was not insulted by being ridden by a new member of the Imperial Guard who was qualified to wield the Sky Eagle Staff, and was very happy.

Similarly, sitting on the seat of the hoverbike, fiddling with the control systems he remembered with his hands, Bourne was also very happy: "This is much better than riding a flying broom!"

There is no need to worry about the engine not being able to keep up. Bourne just steps on the accelerator and starts in fifth gear.

The vector propulsion engine of the hover motorcycle started, splashing waves that were even level with the side of the "Queen of Glory", and carried Bourne directly into the sky!

It was passing by the sea, and with the initial speed of the White Trace Company's champion vehicle, it couldn't get close to the sea at all.

The guests standing on the deck of the "Glorious Queen" and the professors from Durmstrang were stunned for a moment when they saw Bourne "soaring into the sky".

"How should this be calculated?"

The sharp-minded Headmaster Dumbledore suddenly asked a question that sounded a bit sharp.

"I remember that Principal Vokhanova just said that the rule of this elimination match is to select the top three wizards who can keep up with the 'Glorious Queen' in terms of speed... The potion made by Bourne seems to have made his speed exceed the standard."

Horace Slughorn just smiled and said nothing. At this moment, silence was more powerful than words. No matter what others said, it was fine. The old man seemed to have become a very easy-going person, able to listen to the opinions of the referees with an open mind.

unless--

"He's cheating!"

Durmstrang's "Principal Schrödinger" Karkaroff suddenly jumped out and loudly accused.

Horace glared at the hook-nosed man and casually rolled up his sleeves, but Karkaroff didn't seem to notice.

"That little wizard must have hidden some alchemical equipment for the competition. It must be. What kind of potion can have such an effect?"

What he said does make some sense. After all, when other little wizards could only fly on broomsticks, Bourne suddenly came up with a hoverbike, which was obviously too advanced.

In a competition where even riding a flying broomstick is considered cheating, riding a flying motorcycle would definitely be considered cheating as well.

However, although his words made some sense, some people still expressed different opinions.

Damocles, the current CEO of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, put forward his own speculation: "Could it be that this little wizard named Bourne invented a potion with the effect of the 'Flying Spell', or a potion with the effect of the 'Directional Portkey', and that piece of cloth and the wooden board are the carriers of the potion that casts the spell?"

Of course, although this may be controversial, it is indeed difficult to be judged as cheating, after all, it was not mentioned when the rules of the game were formulated.

What's more, the fact that he could brew potions with these two spell effects was enough to show Bourne's strength and talent in brewing potions.

"Bourne's cauldron is flying!"

Nelida Vokhanova thought about it, and then cast a "Flying Spell" on the sea.

Soon, a crucible that had just fallen into the sea as the wooden board broke (but was still floating on the sea) was called by the spell to fly from a long distance behind the ship and landed on the sea.

There are still some medicine residues left in the crucible, and the guests on the jury and Vokhanova herself have begun to study the remaining materials.

"There should be dragon blood, one-horned toad eyes, and the spines of Hebrew fish in it..."

Vokhanova judged.

“…There are no two-eared flowers, valerian, or other potion materials that are most compatible with space-related magic.

In other words, the potion brewed by this little wizard is not related to space, but more like some kind of innovative potion related to transfiguration."

"This is a bit like... a spiritual perception potion, and it also contains magical ingredients such as drupewood. The formula is a bit strange, but inexplicably reasonable."

It was Dumbledore who put forward this view. Although the old wizard did not have the title of "Potion Master", his talent would not be ignored by other judges who had the title of "Potion Master".

Just because he is Dumbledore.

"I see!" Dumbledore immediately guessed how Bourne managed to conjure up a hoverbike.

Because of the appearance of the leather swallow on the Hogwarts Express, no one present knew more about it than him.

Even Bourne's grandfather Horace might not be aware that his grandson had such a rare magical animal material in his hands.

The headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry laughed aloud, then assured the guests that the potion made by Bourne was indeed a genuine one. Not only did the young wizard not cheat, but he was also surprisingly creative.

When he promised that he would take the "magic potion" to explain the whole story to everyone after the game - it is hard to explain now, because even if everyone present is a potion master, not everyone has heard of the existence of a magical animal like the Pit Swallow.

Out of respect for Dumbledore, Damoclesma, who served as both the head of the judging panel and the current CEO of the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association, said:

"Let's just focus on the competition. I think the wizards participating in this Potions Championship are quite creative!"
