Chapter 206 Resurrection of the dead? (page 12)
A Cornish elf saw Bourne, blinked, and then rubbed his eyelids with the back of his hand.
Then, it became excited.
"@#¥%..."
A sharp, rapping and severe fricative sound suddenly burst out of its mouth.
It is difficult for humans to understand the language of this humanoid elf, but Bourne is not an ordinary person: mind reading, which is what wizards often call Legilimency talent, has gradually been revealed at an age when his psychic powers are becoming more apparent. .
Bourne "understood" what the Cornish elf was saying. It was introducing itself and trying to remind Bourne of the meeting at the Pillars of Hercules.
"It turns out to be you!"
Bourne projected his thoughts to it, and the Cornish elf understood it instantly, and then imitated a bee and danced the "eight-figure dance" in the air.
It was showing its buttocks to Burne - the wound there had completely healed - and the white fresh essential oil that Professor Kettleburn had rubbed on it was working wonders.
As a highly social humanoid creature, Cornish elves have a strong sense of family (or group). When one elf recognizes Bourne as a friend who has helped him, other Cornish elves The elves in your county also accepted this concept very quickly.
So they all gathered before Bourne. Some hovered in the air, some landed on his desk, and the Cornish elf who first recognized him even landed on Bourne's shoulder.
The little wizards, who originally had to endure the storm of harassment from these little things, were relieved because of this. Neville, who was sitting next to Bourne, finally breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his red ears, and then the child leaned his head over curiously.
"How did you do that?" Neville asked Bourne curiously, thinking that Bourne had just cast some spell on these Cornish elves.
However, Bourne only spread his palms. "I didn't do anything," he said, "I got to know one of these Cornish elves, and now they all know me. And the reason I got to know that little guy is because we were there during the summer holidays. , an adventure I had by chance while on vacation with my grandpa.”
After all, on the day he visited the Pillars of Hercules, he chopped down a Slaanesh-tainted Orgy with his chainsword.
Rounding things off, it can indeed be regarded as an adventure, but it’s just that the level of difficulty is relatively low.
"Then you are really awesome..."
Neville quietly gave Bourne a thumbs up, but just as the child continued to want to ask something, the "protagonist" of this class appeared beside them.
(With Lockhart's teaching style, he is the most handsome boy on the center stage in his Defense Against the Dark Arts class.)
"Are you okay," the professor said with an expression of eager concern, "Originally I wanted to cast a spell, but who would have thought that just by recognizing me, these cunning little devils would be so frightened that they would move. I don’t dare to move anymore – I originally wanted to use them to teach everyone a spell – what a pity.”
Then, Lockhart introduced the topic and explained the spell he was "going to teach" to the young wizards——
Peschpixie~~Pestenomi~~~
He explained it in front of the Cornish elves. Their responses to this are also very simple and crude, and the word Bourne "hears" most often from their minds is... "Silly X".
"Can you trust him?" Ron shouted dissatisfied while walking in the corridor after class.
He was bitten on the ear by an elf during class, and it still hurts a little now.
"He just wants to give us some practice opportunities." Hermione patted Ron dissatisfied.
She was currently carrying a Transfiguration basket that was originally a cage for Cornish elves.
Before the get out of class ended, Bourne used a little more "humanity" and asked Lockhart not to put the Cornish elf in a cage, but to leave it to him to take care of it temporarily. When classes resume in other houses, he You can help Lockhart deliver them.
Lockhart agreed.
After the bell rang, Bourne took the Cornish elf to the troll camp on the edge of the Forbidden Forest - there is a saying that when he returned to Hogwarts Castle and resumed his duties of patrolling the Forbidden Forest, , those trolls who had been unruly for more than two months during the summer vacation and caused Hagrid quite a headache have once again become hygienic and polite - the place is very big, and the trolls are quite obedient. It would be perfect for a few Cornish elves to be kept there.
However, before he could go down the stairs, a magic painting hanging on the wall sent him a message.
Principal Dumbledore has something to do with him.
Therefore, Bourne could only hand over the basket of Cornish elves to Hermione and ask her to help take them back to the Gryffindor lounge, and then send them to the Forbidden Forest when he returned.
"practice?"
Harry tried to touch an elf, but it ducked out of the way and stuck out its tongue at him.
"Hermione, I don't think that Mr. Lockhart knows what he's doing. That spell of his is simply amazing... We've all tried it in class, except for making the Cornish elf laugh. Other than that, it had no effect at all.”
"Nonsense," Hermione said, "You have all read Professor Lockhart's books, right? Think about the amazing things he once did. That spell must be very difficult, and we must have not learned its essence, otherwise How come no one can use it normally?"
Ron muttered: "Maybe he just made it up, just like the phrase 'sunshine, butter and daisies' that George and Fred taught me before I went to school..."
Seeing that Hermione was about to explode, Harry quickly changed the topic for the sake of his good brother's head.
"You said that Principal Dumbledore came to Bourne for temporary help. What happened?"
In fact, he was very curious about it.
It was clear that school had just started not long ago, and theoretically Bourne could not be blamed for the delay of the Hogwarts Express.
So, why did Dumbledore still look for Bourne? If the headmaster really wanted to find the culprit, he should go to Lockhart.
-
Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.
Bourne has been here several times.
However, every time he passed through the gate guarded by the gargoyle statue, he seemed to see something different.
This time, the principal's office was set up as a large, empty room with elegant beige walls, a large carved desk and several red embroidered sofas that never seemed to get dirty.
In the center of the room, a gorgeous crystal chandelier hangs, illuminating every corner around it.
The purple curtains and carpets bring strong contrast and bring out the warmth and comfort of this room.
The whole room was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. The magical silver alchemy equipment Bourne had seen before was constantly spitting out white smoke, like a humidifier, continuously injecting many magical elements into the room.
Behind the red silk curtain beside the bed, there is a wooden box with a mercury-like light and mysterious atmosphere that makes people want to open it with their own hands and see the contents inside.
