Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Compared to other Gryffindor players who were overjoyed to receive Nimbus 2001 and Firebolt, Bourne was much calmer after receiving the gift.

Not to mention the past experiences of riding a motorcycle with White Scar, hijacking the green-skinned snake-biting war boss Furious Squig, and using the Eldar's suspended airship to drag their fellow racers to play high-altitude bumper cars...

Just the broomstick tailor-made for him by his Grandpa Horace gave Bourne a strong immunity to these expensive gifts.

He immediately figured out who had given the Gryffindor team such generous gifts.

"I can't think of any other answer except that man."

Looking at the cards mixed in the gift package, Bourne couldn't help but admire Sirius's courage once again, because he generously left the two elegant letters [SB] on the signature on the card.

Gryffindor was in a state of carnival, and the heated atmosphere almost overturned the roof of the auditorium, which soon attracted the attention of the professors.

The first professor who appeared was, as expected, Professor Lockhart, who would be found wherever there were more people.

Looking at Gryffindor's total of twelve high-end broomsticks, anyone who knows a little bit about Quidditch and can do some arithmetic can figure out how much it costs!

"Merlin's beard!"

No matter how much he liked to brag, Lockhart couldn't shamelessly put this generous donation on his head.

These broomsticks, even the most conservative estimate, add up to almost 20,000 gold galleons!

Although he might be able to get it together if he gritted his teeth, if he really had to spend so much money, Lockhart's savings, which he had worked hard for half his life, would probably be wiped out at once.

He even had to owe Gringotts some loans.

Therefore, Professor Lockhart could only brag in another way. He began to brag to the young wizards about playing Quidditch in school.

The Ravenclaw students around him, as long as they had some common sense, couldn't help but cover their faces in embarrassment.

Because they all know in their hearts: Ever since the sport of Quidditch was introduced to Hogwarts, the Ravenclaw team's slogan has always been "Enjoy the Game."

After Lockhart appeared, Professor McGonagall and Snape soon arrived.

When he saw that the Gryffindor players were all holding Nimbus 2001, and Harry Potter was actually holding a brand new Firebolt, Snape just frowned in displeasure.

However, when he saw the familiar [SB] signature on the card in the hand of Professor McGonagall, who wanted to find out who made such a large donation, the Slytherin Headmaster's face suddenly turned into a look of astonishment. Same style as Letling.

"Oyster!" He almost said this through gritted teeth, and then without any explanation he wanted to reach out and snatch the Firebolt from Harry Potter's hand.

"Let me check this broom." Snape said to Harry in a tone that was almost scolding: "I don't know which bedbug in the sewer sent this thing, but you kid actually dared to get it in your hands. , What a brain!"

Harry blushed immediately when he was told this.

He had no intention of handing over the Firebolt in his hand - especially to Snape. Although he wanted to check the safety of the broom, who knew whether the Head of Slytherin would do something on it? Hands and feet - after all, the Quidditch spirit of Slytherin House is all about "The Emperor's New Clothes."

"Professor?" Harry turned to his dean and handed over the Firebolt at the same time.

Professor McGonagall stretched out her wand and tapped it gently. This broomstick, which might even be more expensive than the same weight of gold galleons, floated into the air in an instant.

Not only that, the other eleven Nimbus 2001 also broke free from the hands of the little wizards and hovered in mid-air.

The Vice-Principal is a powerful witch. In less than a minute, she cast 7 or 8 spells on twelve broomsticks in front of everyone at the same time.

"No problem," she finally nodded in confirmation. Many students didn't even know what detection spells she had just used. "I have already verified that there are no poison spells, jinxes or curses attached to these brooms. Light. The wheel company's special verification spells have also passed the test. They are indeed products produced by the original factory, and they were only produced in the past few months. But..."

Dean McGonagall stretched out her arm and immediately took the Firebolt into her hand.

"... Because the Firebolt was just a concept product being promoted before, and there was no special universal verification spell, so if I want to verify whether it is safe, I have to fly it myself and give it a try. So, Harry, You come to me again tomorrow...oh, no, the day after tomorrow to take back the Firebolt."

Faced with the concern of his dean, Harry could only say "thank you" politely.

Snape, on the other hand, seemed a little dissatisfied with Professor McGonagall's decision.

"Professor McGonagall, do you mean to agree to allow Gryffindor students to ride and use these advanced broomsticks donated by 'unknown persons' during Quidditch matches? Especially the Firebolt. You know That’s equipment that even the professional team’s seekers don’t have access to, it’s not fair!”

"Equipment is also part of strength!" Before Professor McGonagall could say anything, Wood said it loudly.

He seemed to have forgotten what he said in the past few hours, "Using equipment to suppress others can only be the preserve of cowardly Slytherins", "The greatness of Gryffindor comes from the courage flowing in our veins" and so on words.

"There are only seven people playing Quidditch, but you have 2001 in Nimbus 11!" How could Snape be refuted by a student? He immediately retorted, "Isn't this a game? A waste?"

However, this time it was Professor McGonagall who answered him. "There are only seven people on the field, but there are five Gryffindor substitutes, and the substitutes also have to participate in training." She said, "What's more, broomsticks are inherently consumables, and training and competitions also have It may cause damage to the broom, and the 7 Nimbus 5 can be used to replace it in case of emergency."

Snape was indeed speechless this round. He may have something to say, but facing this professor who once taught him, even though he has now become the dean of Slytherin House, he still maintains respect and a certain degree of fear.

With the support of his dean, Wood immediately said that he would start targeted training in the afternoon. Even substitutes like Byrne had to fly for several hours to run in the new equipment.

According to him, he has never played in such a rich game in his life. How can he be worthy of these new equipment if he doesn't practice hard?

As a result, on this sunny Saturday afternoon, almost the entire Gryffindor crowd came out.

All the little lions ran to the auditorium of the Quidditch field and watched the flight drills performed by their team members on their new broomsticks.

Wood was naturally very excited.

He even waved his hand, not caring that some students from the other three colleges were also sitting in the audience, and asked the team members to use all the tactics that he had hidden and spent a whole summer designing. Performed it once.
