Chapter 2 An ordinary little wizard
"Momo, I want to go out."
Not long after breakfast, after leaving a few words, regardless of whether the house elf who was busy cleaning up the house heard or not, Bourne threw off his two short legs and ran out of Slughorn's house like a hot wheel. 's door.
Unlike many wizards who like to live in isolation, or live exclusively in villages where wizards gather, Slughorn's home is located in George Square next to Glasgow City Hall.
Because of the addition of the "Muggle Expelling Curse" and the "Safe Guard" spell, this three-story Victorian building will neither be accidentally bumped into by Muggle travelers nor easily discovered by some dark wizards.
Although he took great care of the only heir of the family, Horace would not keep little Bourne in a strict confinement in the mansion like a magical animal.
When he has nothing to do, he will take time to take little Bourne around to see the daily life of Muggles.
Of course, this is mainly to prepare Bourne for going to school in the future. Hogwarts has an elective course about Muggles.
Horace heard that the Weasley family, which is also a pure-blood family, produced a genius boy named Bill Weasley. He got a total of twelve O's in this year's OWLs exam, setting a new record for Hogwarts. History.
However, like most parents in the world, Horace also upholds the concept of "it's better to have children".
He felt that Bourne could do anything that the Weasley children could do, so he made arrangements for him early on.
The main focus is an involution.
However, although he had seen through Grandpa Horace's secret plan early on, Bourne had no resistance to it.
In fact, after surviving his brief infancy, Byrne soon found himself leaving the world of Warhammer.
Even after he saw the house elf Momo - Space Marines, especially the warriors of the Dark Angels Chapter, would probably regard her as an alien that "can have limited trust and contact" like the Black Watch - after that, he I realized that I was by no means returning to the quiet and peaceful earth, but had come to the world of Harry Potter.
However, he was still very happy about it.
There is no other reason: In the dark age of the Warhammer world, being born as a human being means that hardships and sufferings will always be with you most of the time.
Darkness and depression surround every human being after the forty-first millennium. Even space warriors who are as powerful as demigods must use their faith in the Emperor and their sense of honor to resist the kind of violence that threatens them every moment. A possible sense of hopelessness.
Compared with the powerless despair, the hardship of studying is nothing. Byrne said that it would be okay to suffer similar pain ten times more.
"I'll go to the Pound Store today to buy some things, and then I'll continue reading and exercising when I get back..."
Wearing a wrinkled blue striped T-shirt and overalls with holes, he has a cotton shoulder bag with several Muggle newspapers on his shoulder, a newsboy cap on his head, and two bare feet. Ya.
Little Bourne bounced all the way across George Square, feeling very excited and happy. His outfit was carefully matched for Bourne by Horace combined with Muggle children's fashion trends.
"...This combination was popularized by a children's group called the 'Baker Street Guerrillas'. They relied on this disguise to easily blend into the adult Muggle group..."
This is the exact words Horace read from a Muggle Studies monograph. However, the old Hogwarts professor failed to notice that the monograph quoted documents from the nineteenth century.
However, Bourne didn't care at all about the looks of men and women along the way. The place he was going was very attractive to him.
It was a second-hand store opened in the corner of George Square, which displayed second-hand goods such as daily necessities, office supplies, clothes, and hardware parts.
Its name is also very down-to-earth, just "1 Pound", which highlights the main features of the goods it sells.
Jingle bell bell~
Pushing open the glass door of the "1 Pound" second-hand store, Bourne walked into the store excitedly. The bald boss next to the cashier looked at the barefoot "little newsboy" and couldn't help but frown.
"Hey, kid, where are your adults? This is not a place where you should come alone."
"Also, listen to me, if you are hungry, you can go to Winston Street next door. There is a food bank there that can provide you with free food."
"I'm not hungry." Bourne replied, seemingly unaware that the other person was trying to drive him away in disguise.
Instead, he took out a wad of money from the front pocket of his overalls. The notes totaled about fifteen or sixteen pounds, with some coins mixed in. Although this makes him look more like a little tramp who makes a living by begging, it also proves that he does have certain spending power.
After thinking for a moment, the bald boss nodded and reminded him in a slightly kind way: "You can go to the third row of shelves to find a pair of shoes. There should be one or two pairs over there that match your size."
"Thank you, but I want to buy something else." As he spoke, Bourne piled the change on the cashier. Then he walked to the shelf with tools and picked up the one hanging on the shelf. A second-hand fire fighting chain saw.
Horace once took him to the "Pound Shop", and Bourne took a fancy to this baby at that time, and also firmly remembered the sales price on its label.
In order to collect enough change, he helped Horace process a batch of potion ingredients and peeled off the spines of several barrels of frogs. Of course, this was also a disguised form of Horace giving him a potion enlightenment lesson. And Bourne's harvest is those Muggle currencies.
In addition to the fire-fighting chain saw, Byrne also picked out several tools and parts, all of which he had taken a fancy to during his last visit here.
After getting the goods he needed, Bourne turned around and ran out of the "1 Pound Store" without waiting for the shop owner to say anything.
Although the bald shop owner chased him out, chain saws and spare parts were indeed not items that a child would buy, but when he ran out, he discovered that there was no sign of Bourne anywhere in the square.
"Strange? Why did the child suddenly disappear?" The bald shop owner looked back at the change on the counter, and then looked at George Square outside the door. He fell into deep doubts.
Bourne was actually very confused.
When he walked out of the Pound Store, he was supposed to go home through George Square, but somehow, he turned into a small alley next to the store, as if something was attracting him there.
There is indeed something...
To be more precise, there was a little thing standing in the center of the alley.
However, even if it stood upright, its body was only three feet tall. It looks a bit like the gnomes Bourne had seen in the garden. It also has a large head that is out of proportion to its body and strong feet with protruding bones.
However, this little thing is taller than the goblin and has a sharper nose. The color of its skin is purple, not the soil-like tan of goblins. Seeing Bourne looking at him, it was nervous for a moment, but then it opened its mouth very strangely and let out a "giggle" evil smile.
This laughter seemed to have a kind of magic, and it was indeed the case, because the scientific name of the purple-skinned elf that appeared in front of Bourne was "Elf", and it was a 4X-level magical animal that lived in the black forest.
The reason why this kind of spirit, which can only do some mischief at most, can be rated as 4X level like the phoenix and the poisonous horned beast is because their evil smile has special magical power.
Even an adult wizard may accidentally fall into the trap of an evil spirit and fall into an inexplicable memory, and then forget what is happening in front of him. However, if an adult wizard is attacked, the evil spirit will most likely choose to take the opportunity to escape; but if faced with an underage wizard or a Muggle child, the evil spirit will most likely choose to eat the victim!
It is precisely because of their cruel man-eating habits that the German Ministry of Magic has continued to hunt evil spirits for centuries, greatly reducing the population size of this kind of man-eating spirits.
The most recent reported incident of evil spirits attacking humans was a six-year-old wizard named Bruno Schmidt at the end of the 19th century. As a result, Mr. Schmidt used his father's foldable crucible. Hit the evil spirit hard on the head and kill it...
Of course, this "attack-counter-kill" case is actually just an example. Moreover, when evil spirits have partners, they become extremely dangerous.
"It's just to confuse a little wizard, why are you so slow to do it?" As the evil spirit laughed all the way and lured Bourne into the depths of the alley, a man in a leather jacket suddenly stood up from behind a tin trash can. stand up.
Facing the interrogation of his accomplices, the evil spirit's eyes suddenly showed a look of resentment, but it actually did not have the courage to confront this sarcastic guy passionately.
"Is this the boy from the Slughorn family?" the man asked the evil spirit, pointing at Bourne who was carrying a lot of second-hand tools. The latter nodded.
"Hehehe, that's good, that's good," this man with unusually thick hair stroked his beard, opened his specially polished mouth full of fangs, and let out a sickly laugh.
"As long as I take one bite, Slughorn, this so-called 'Twenty-Eight Sacred Tribes' will be extinct..."
The man smiled evilly, "...or worse." The worse case scenario is to turn into a werewolf.
This man's name is Fenrir Greyback, and he is a werewolf. Unlike many wizards who become werewolves after being bitten by werewolves, Greyback's parents are both werewolves.
If werewolves are divided into pure blood and mixed blood, then Fenrir must be pure blood, and he is also a werewolf born in the summer - according to legend, werewolves born in the summer will grow up to be the king of werewolves.
"The bloodline of the 'Holy Twenty-Eight Families' is easily confused by evil spirits?" Fenrir looked at Bourne and mocked triumphantly: "He's just an ordinary little wizard. .”
