Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 216 Cornish Elves and Peeves



Bourne followed Professor Snape and left the Quidditch pitch. When they arrived at the gate of the castle, Hagrid was already waiting for them there with a large birdcage that could hold a peacock.

"These little things are really naughty," the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest warden and key keeper couldn't help but complain when he saw Bourne.

"In the past week, they took out three nests of bird and snake eggs, attacked two pairs of mating trolls, and even tried to bully Swift's little baby, trying to pull out the bright hair on her tail... …They probably did a lot of naughty things, but I didn’t find out.”

As Hagrid became more and more angry, he finally couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to open the steel bars of the bird cage, and gently flicked the little butt of the Cornish elf who was always responsible for causing trouble.

"Gurgling, do you know you are wrong?" This half-blood giant, who looked ferocious but was actually very kind-hearted, started to scare the Cornish elf.

Holding her butt that was about to split into eight pieces (although Hagrid actually restrained 99% of his strength when he snapped his fingers), Gugujing put on a pitiful expression and nodded earnestly, admitting his mistake with a very sincere attitude.

Then, the little guy turned his head, pouted his little mouth and beeped a few times.

"Hey, if you say bad words, your snacks will be confiscated." Bourne put his head close to the cage and used a "big killer" on the Cornish elf.

Only then did Gu Gujing notice that another "big devil" was coming. The little guy who was caught and revealed was stunned, and then immediately explained that he just scolded... well, by the way, he was scolding the guy who always wore oily hair. A fool dressed up like a peacock.

after all--

If Lockhart hadn't been there in the first place, he wouldn't have been recaptured just after being returned to his home forest in Cornwall.

Then, if it hadn't been captured and sent to Hogwarts Castle to be used as a teaching tool, it wouldn't have recognized Bourne as an acquaintance.

And then, if an acquaintance like Bourne hadn't sent them to the troll camp on the edge of the Forbidden Forest for a temporary stay, they wouldn't have been overwhelmed by the happy life, so they wouldn't be able to cause mischief.

And if they hadn't been naughty, they wouldn't have been punished by Bourne and put into the birdcage again, and then they would have faced the dilemma of having snacks "withheld".

"Maybe what you said makes sense." Bourne knows how to motivate. Therefore, he first gave partial recognition to this smart Cornish elf who recognized him at first sight in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year.

Then I drew another piece of flatbread (bushi).

"If you and your friends can search the Hogwarts Castle honestly and find all the hidden rats..."

While speaking, Bourne waved his wand again, using magic power to conjure the shape of a mouse in mid-air.

"...Then I will not only release you from the cage, but also reward you with your favorite dried grasshopper snacks. One bag for each person!"

With the motivation to work, the Cornish elves immediately became "enraged" and Bourne opened the cage door.

Snape watched all this.

Although as a potion master, his greatest interest was actually studying various crucibles and potion recipes, he still observed Bourne's communication with the Cornish elves with great interest.

"This little wizard is not born a Legilimency." He was sure of this, because the Occlumency that was running all the time did not warn him.

"However, he can communicate with those Cornish elves without any hindrance. Could it be that there is something weird in the brains of those little things... No potion master in the past has studied it from the Cornish elves. If there is any valuable material, maybe I can take the time to open their heads and take a look at it later?”

In the past, wizards' impressions of Cornish elves were only that they were a subspecies of elf that was very restless in nature and liked to cause small destruction in the eyes of humans.

Only a handful of magical animal experts know that this kind of elf has an extraordinary ability to find objects. Due to some unknown magical factors, Cornish elves can easily find everything they want to find. —Coupled with their small size and ability to fly freely, they are simply born to do some search work in complex environments.

Perhaps sensing the malice in Snape's eyes, as soon as they came out of the cage, the Cornish elves all tried their best to stay away from the oily wizard who exuded black aura, and rushed into Hogwarts like a swarm. Castle gate.

Bourne expressed his thanks to Hagrid. The honest half-blood giant just waved his hand and said that helping to bring these little naughty things from the Forbidden Forest was not something worthy of gratitude at all. Then, after saying a brief goodbye to Burne and Snape, he returned to the Forbidden Forest alone. Hagrid didn't go to the Quidditch match today because he planned to take advantage of the daylight to go deep into the Forbidden Forest to do something.

"Let's go," Snape said to Burn: "We still have to find Peeves, and then take him to meet Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick."

Except for Vice Principal McGonagall, who has to look after the little wizards on the Quidditch pitch, several other professors were once again asked by Dumbledore to form a team and carry out another "general cleaning" of Hogwarts Castle.

The old headmaster had a premonition: Peter Pettigrew had not escaped from Hogwarts, but was still hiding in a corner of the castle.

As for what Dean Slytherin had just said about going to find Peeves, Bourne just shook his head at him.

Bourne revealed a secret to him: "Peeves cannot be found by just looking for it. In fact, if a professor tries hard to find Peeves for any reason, he may not even find it in his lifetime." Fa saw him.

The birth of Peeves itself was a poltergeist accidentally created after the boredom and boredom of many young wizards gathered in this magic castle.

He is the opposite of those emotions.

The reason why he is so keen on having fun is because Peeves only has some meaning if he keeps showing his pranks to the little wizards in Hogwarts.

At the same time, this is also why when a little wizard feels bored or bored, he/she is so easy to encounter Peeves.

On the other hand, if there is something serious to come to him, and the person who comes to him is a professor, Peeves may never show up. "

Snape was educated and his face became a little strange. He was the professor of Hogwarts.

He wanted to scold Bourne a few words like he was giving Harry or Ron a lesson (or the little snakes in Slytherin House), but what he said instead turned into: "This...how do you know? Also, how do you find Peeves now?"

Bourne smiled and said: "It's very simple, just let Peeves come to us."

He shouted a series of words casually at the castle gate: "Peeves, someone is challenging your authority as the No. 1 Prank King of Hogwarts" - he thinks you are neither cruel nor cunning - anyway, he is He has been hiding in Hogwarts Castle so that no one can find him."

Then, Bourne raised his right hand: one, two, three, four... He didn't even finish bending the fingers on one palm. A devil wearing a suit with a lot of purple sequins "swearing" came out of the hall. The guy came out from behind the wall, as if this guy had been hiding there originally.

"Who is it? Which rat is it?

Who dares to challenge Uncle Peeves!

This is too much, I want to teach him a lesson! "

Peeves was so angry that he was bulging with anger.

However, Bourne told the poltergeist calmly: "I know you are angry, but please don't be angry yet."

Then, he slowly told the story of Peter Pettigrew roasting the owl postman (a prank that was extremely bad and has been banned by Hogwarts Castle), and then ate the poor guy (Pippi Ghosts can't eat) things.

"Damn it!" Peeves became even more angry because he felt that Peter Pettigrew had done something that even he could not do.

Then, Bourne told him that Peter Pettigrew might still be hiding somewhere in Hogwarts, and even all the professors couldn't find him (this was Peeves' unique skill before).

"This is simply unforgivable!" Peeves was so angry that his face turned red, and his ears spurted out two streams of steam, making a long "Woo-Woo" sound like when the water in the kettle is boiled.

"However, everyone from the principal to the professors still think that Peeves is the chosen king of pranks at Hogwarts.

That's why they 'seduce' all the little wizards in the school to the Quidditch field today, leaving enough room for you to use your full strength to find that guy.

Then teach him a lesson, ravage him, and let him know who is the best in Hogwarts! "

Bourne knows how to use fire.

After hearing what he said, Peeves immediately imitated the appearance of those bearskin hat soldiers (I don’t know where he saw it from), stamped his feet, waved his hands and saluted, and floated in the air. Came to stand still.

"Yes Sir!"

The poltergeist roared loudly, swung both hands in front of it in the same direction, then turned sideways and rushed into the castle gate with its legs raised.

"All done."

Nodding towards Snape, who was stunned by his actions, Bourne made another suggestion to the dean of Slytherin House.

"Now go to Principal Dumbledore and the others?"

Snape softly "hummed" without any objection (even if he agreed), waved the long black wizard robe and walked into the castle gate first.
