Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

After being discharged from St. Mungo's, Byrne became increasingly busy. His Grandpa Horace, the "Snake King" of the older generation, wanted to lay a good foundation for him to dominate Slytherin before he entered school.

Happy education is not advisable.

No matter whether they are the elite among Muggles or the pure-blood families among wizards, parents will not believe the lie of happy education.

Identification of common potion materials, basic magic theory, origin of magic spells, history of magic... Even taking into account Bourne's special Magus transformation, Horace also used the skills of a potion master to compile a special book for his little grandnephew. The knowledge about magic food nutrition.

Foods like dragon ribs, dragon meatballs tartare, and Riem milk have almost become a regular snack for Bourne every day.

As time goes by, Horace will always feel extremely relieved to see the daily changes in his children.

As expected of the Slughorn family!

Of course, no one is perfect, and Bourne also has a little "problem" that often makes this old snake king feel heartbroken——

"Aha... Bourne, let's be scared." Early that morning, Horace pushed open the door of Bourne's room and looked at his grandnephew who was hiding the wrench behind his back with a smile. "Listen, kid, I know you're still playing with those things."

"I didn't, I'm not, I absolutely can't." Bourne showed a cute and sincere smile. He knew that Horace was going to the Ministry of Magic today to attend an important meeting.

"Grandpa Horace, don't worry, I will listen to Momo and wait for you to come back."

Bang.

A mechanical arm fell from the table that Bourne was blocking behind him, and the small chain saw blade on it penetrated into the floor, causing the arm to stick directly on the floor.

Horace's eyelids trembled.

If you didn't keep glancing at that thing from the corner of your eye, your words might be more convincing.

Several years have passed since the werewolf attack, and the young master of the Slughorn family has finally grown up and become a young wizard who is about to reach school age.

The incident of tearing a werewolf apart had no impact on his life. At least, without anyone with knowledge of the matter spreading the word - both the werewolf Fenrir and the evil spirit were reduced to ashes by a pot of potion - the Ministry of Magic did not send anyone to investigate the matter in the end.

In fact, after being able to freely switch between the "Astartes Magus" form and his own body, Bourne was only forcibly taken by Horace to St. Mungo's Magical Hospital for several examinations and received some psychological counseling. professional treatment.

Every time he went to the hospital, Byrne felt like it was a waste of time and galleons. After three hundred years of fighting in the dark universe, is it possible that he could still suffer from mental illness such as PTSD?

Just kidding, these diseases are not loyal enough by their names.

The main reason why Bourne was able to endure the treatment was because Horace, an old professor with decades of teaching experience, was really good at dealing with children. He knew that if he wanted the children to go to the hospital well, he had to use toys and candies as bait.

However, other little wizards would pester their adults to take them to Zuko's Joke Shop and Honeydukes, but Bourne would beg Horace to take him to hardware stores, machine shops, black market gun shops, etc. Muggle places...

Huh?

It seems like something weird got mixed in, but it doesn't matter.

For more than two years, in addition to receiving Horace's daily "pre-school education", Bourne's favorite thing to do is to tinker with the "toys" bought from Muggles, and he will make some noise at every turn. Occasionally blow up some furniture...

If it weren't for the house elves who were proficient in using household magic such as "clean up", and someone else had to take care of a naughty kid like Bourne who was very capable, that person would have to find a rope to hang himself.

Horace could not understand Bourne's interest.

Putting aside whether it is dangerous for children to play with these things, Bourne, you are "Slughorn" after all - crucibles, cauldrons, and all kinds of potion ingredients that no outsider can buy, aren't you? Is this something you should play at this age?

How come the hands-on hobby you show is so much like something only the Weasley family would do? To this end, Horace even checked the family tree. However, if you don’t check, you won’t know. When you check, you will be shocked to find that the Slughorn family and the Weasley ancestors are actually related!

As a result, Horace experienced the pain of "having his home stolen" that many young people would feel in the future.

Moreover, he couldn't say anything yet. After all, no matter how poor the Weasley family is, they are still one of the "Holy Twenty-Eight Families", and their family's ancestral talents are also very good.

So, Horace could only comfort himself: take a step back and endure the calm for a while... Shit, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

In line with the concept of "saving the children", Horace began to consciously launch special management of Bourne a few years ago.

"Don't worry, get out of class will be over after this."

"Do you know the four ways to write Aconitum? They are all the same thing: Aconitum wolfsbane, Aconitum scapularis..."

"There are two small tests today. Don't worry, they are both of interest to you. One is a magic potion, and the other is also a magic potion."

This kind of "preschool magic education" course mixed with a lot of private goods, regardless of the effectiveness, is definitely difficult for normal children to accept. But Bourne is different. He doesn't seem to resist learning this knowledge, even if the learning process takes up a lot of his time and energy.

This made Horace both happy and worried.

What makes him happy is that strength is the most basic operating logic of the wizarding world. Every powerful wizard was like Bourne when they were children. They all had an insatiable interest in knowledge.

What worries him is that because the class time is too long, Bourne can only devote some of the remaining time in the day to things that interest him.

Horace had discovered many times that little Bourne, who was supposed to be sleeping, would get up secretly at night and tinker with the Muggle "toys" he bought home in his room. Originally, Horace planned to take care of this naughty kid and let him experience the style of the old snake king when he controlled the Slytherin gang. But when it came to practice, he immediately found that he couldn't be cruel at all.

After all, Bourne is the cub of the Slughorn family, not one of those little snakes from other people's families - that's really true: holding it in the mouth is afraid of melting, holding it in the hand is afraid of falling. Therefore, the poor old man could only choose to trouble himself, regularly carefully brewing a batch of energy potions and tonics that could not be bought outside, and let the house elves add them to Bourne's daily meals.

Several years passed, and under the care of Horace, Bourne grew up rapidly every day.

And the retired old man seemed to have opened his third eye, and seemed to have seen the wonderful scene of his own children leading Slytherins to the three houses of eagle, lion and badger after they went to school, and shocked Hogwarts. As a result, he recently decided to teach Bourne another knowledge, teaching him how to control a group of snakes.

"Don't answer so quickly. I know you have saved a lot of Muggle money during this period. Do you want to take advantage of me to go to the meeting to sneak out and hunt for treasures?" Horace deflated. Mouth, it means that you are too young to lie to me.

"How could it be? I promise to stay with Momo." Bourne used his trump card and quoted the words out of context. He meant going out with the house elves.

Ginger is still old and hot, and Horace immediately heard the fishiness in Bourne's words. "I promise to stay with Momo, so isn't it the same as when you tricked the house elf into going out with you? She can't stop you from doing anything when you're away from home. Besides, Momo is usually the most doting on you, and she always loves you at home. Give you all kinds of cover."

Horace made a serious face and said: "Listen, little Bourne, I will be away for two weeks."

He was indeed a little worried about his little grandnephew being at home alone. Although Bourne is not yet 10 years old, the child not only awakens Magus, but also shows various trouble-making qualities. If it were not for this time that the Ministry of Magic and the Magical Congress of the United States of America would draft a "Common Standards for the Production of Potion Products for Transnational Trade" bill, and this new bill would involve the core of the Slughorn family (the family's industry is related to potions) In fact, Horace did not want to attend due to interests.

He had been away for half a month, and he was worried about letting Bourne stay at home by himself. Even though Momo takes care of her children very seriously and responsibly, she can't really restrain Bourne unless Horace gives her the authorization to use strong methods.

So, Horace came up with an idea.

"In the meantime, I have signed you up for a summer camp. You must be obedient. Is it normal for children to attend extracurricular interest classes during the winter and summer vacations?

Moreover, let me tell you, if you perform well enough, Grandpa Horace, I will pay for you to go to school for the next seven years and get the highest level of academic diploma in the magic world. "

(Hogwarts has a seven-year academic system and is tuition-free)

Faced with a parent who has already enrolled you in a hobby class, and who is also an educational expert who is well versed in child psychology, what else can Little Bourne do? He could only obediently put on decent clothes, take a small suitcase of his, and follow Horace and Momo towards the fireplace at home.
