Chapter 268 The "Elixir of Fortune" that pets drink
Not just Principal Dumbledore, there are many wizards with pets in Hogwarts Castle.
For example, Ron once had a pet mouse named "Scabbers", although it was actually created by Peter Pettigrew using Animagus magic.
Another example is Filch, the castle's caretaker. Together with the cat named "Mrs. Norris", he is the number one enemy of most little wizards who like to wander at night.
As for Bourne, he's a little different from the other Hogwarts pet owners.
Because of the correct educational philosophy of "boys should be rich," his grandfather Horace prepared three pets for him at one time.
One of them looks like a cat, and his elusive habits are very similar to those of a cat, but in fact he is a hybrid of the mythical beast Zuowu and the cat nives.
Perhaps he had a telepathic connection and sensed Bourne's return, so Ryan immediately opened a "昘昘" portal with sparks, and calmly entered Slytherin's secret room.
It also brought a partner of its own, that is, the "eloquent" little John.
What a coincidence, the Fire Phoenix Fox was not here at this time.
So Ryan not only took Bourne away, but also took Principal Dumbledore and the thousand-year-old basilisk away through the teleporters.
"By the way... monitoring... I didn't expect... you would come back soon."
Bourne looked at Little John in surprise.
"Boss Cat..."
Although half a year has actually passed, this series of time travel experiences only lasted less than a day to him.
Little John opened his mouth and imitated Ruth's greedy look when eating.
Little John, a mixed-blood Niffler with the blood of a marten, was riding on the custom-made broomstick that Bourne bought for him, dancing and explaining something to the two wizards, an old one and a young one.
And in just one day, this mixed-blood Sniff had undergone a huge change, making him a little unrecognizable to his owner.
But now when he meets Little John, he is actually able to use human language autonomously to express what he wants to express.
He even learned a nickname!
Little John rode up to Bourne on his broom and whispered what he liked to call Ryan.
"We...let Ruth...continue to work at school..."
"That Bourne in school is so fake."
"Here...we...stay."
Although it speaks a little stumblingly, and the grammar is just the way it likes, but at least Bourne can really understand what it says.
You know, although Little John was eloquent in the past, it was actually just the blood of the marten at work - it could imitate human speech vividly, but it was actually like a parrot or a repeater, and it was not mastered. human language.
"...It...didn't like...the...name I gave it, but John liked it - we...found...a big smart pole here..."
As it spoke, it pointed out to Bourne what the so-called "smart big wooden pole" was -
That's a tree.
Deep in the deep Forbidden Forest, there is a hazel tree that does not look outstanding, but is indeed somewhat extraordinary. It has strange textures and deep bark, and it seems to be able to record the passage of time.
The trunk of this hazel tree is thick, with a layer of moss covering its surface. The smooth bark is covered with complex runes, emitting a mysterious light.
Its branches are thick and powerful, covered with dense leaves, which sway gently in the breeze and make a rustling sound.
At the top of the trunk, there is a crystal clear fruit, which emits a faint light, as if it is the heart of this magical plant.
The fruit is smooth and round, with a faint golden glow that looks like a piece of amber.
At the bottom of the crown, there are also some fruits growing, but they are smaller than the ones above, but they also emit a faint golden light.
"The cat boss... found... this place... and asked the clone cat to guard it. I... drank... a little golden water... and felt... sprinkled the last drop here... the smart big wooden pole blossomed... and bore golden fruits... If you eat them... you will be smart and able to speak..."
While the mixed-blood Sniff was explaining intermittently, he also took out a small bottle from his stomach pocket. Bourne recognized it at a glance as a bottle of weird magic potion that he had collected.
Last year, Neville's toad Leif was used by two young wizards who were obsessed with profit to test their own improved low-cost "love potion". This potion was smeared on his body and poured into his mouth.
Bourne helped Neville educate the two little Slytherin wizards. Professor Snape also analyzed the ingredients of this inferior "love potion" and found that it seemed to be able to stimulate weak emotions because the ingredients partially overlapped. The "blessing elixir" effect.
After that incident, Neville's Leif didn't have any major problems, and Bourne didn't take this inferior potion seriously.
He slipped it into a drawer in his dormitory instead of carrying it around in his lizard wallet.
As a result, it was found by Little John, and then the half-breed Sniff regarded it as a drink hidden in the drawer and tasted a little bit.
Although this potion only has some of the effects of the unstable "Fu Ling Potion", the mixed-blood Sniff is not that big, isn't it?
Little John followed his intuition and found the magic hazel tree in the Forbidden Forest, which was used as a base by Ryan. Following his intuition, he poured the remaining potion in the bottle into the soil under the tree.
Something magical happened, the tree Magic Hazel actually bore amber-like fruit!
Little John ate a few fruits that grew under the canopy of the tree, and it gained some ability to speak. And Ryan was also surprised by this. He asked the Madago cat brother to stay here every day.
When the real Bourne returned to Hogwarts, it was the mixed-blood Niffler who first revealed the news to Ryan.
"...You go...I think...there seems to be some connection between this magic hazel tree and you."
Little John encourages Bourne to get closer to the magic tree.
In fact, Bourne also had this intention.
He also drank a real elixir "today" (although it was more than a hundred years ago when the fire burned the Narlac steamship). Therefore, the effect of the Felixir in his body has not yet worn off.
Intuition led him towards the hazel tree. But just when he raised his hand to pick the amber-like fruit on the top of the tree, the fruit suddenly fell from the tree and hit Bourne's hand.
Ok?
Bourne suddenly understood why this magical hazel tree had some connection with him.
Its seed was sent by an owl, and because it was impossible to find the recipient, the seed was thrown into the Forbidden Forest.
After more than a hundred years of growth, this hazel tree has grown into a timber.
