Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

"Mr. Malfoy, how can you be so self-depraved that you actually compare yourself with those greedy Gringotts goblins?"

A loud and powerful voice suddenly sounded at the door of the principal's office. At this time, Dumbledore's two guests in the principal's office - Bourne and Lucius - couldn't help but look back at the speaker.

"Grandpa Horace!"

"Dean Slughorn."

The Horace who suddenly appeared at the door was very different from before, at least in Bourne's opinion.

He was wearing a wizard's robe that looked very expensive. The robe was made of deep dark green velvet fabric, with a subtle luster on the surface, like a forest at night. The edge of the robe is inlaid with complex golden embroidery, the patterns are various strange herbs and magical creatures, and every stitch and thread reveals delicacy and elegance.

On the belt of the wizard's robe, there are several exquisite vials and tools hanging, including a medicine pestle, a medicine spoon and a dropper. Each one is made of silver and engraved with exquisite patterns, which is both practical and decorative.

"Grandpa Horace, are you going to some banquet?" Bourne asked curiously.

"That's right, I just came back from the Annual Potions Development Exchange Banquet held by the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists. As you can tell from the name, this is a very boring party. If not..."

Horace rolled his eyes at his grandson and realized that some words were not convenient to say in front of an outsider (Lucius Malfoy), so he brushed them aside.

He turned to look at Lucius Malfoy very seriously: "Lucius, I remember that you were once a prefect of Slytherin, and you were a 'shadow prefect' since the first grade. That book " "Slytherin Secret Manual", you have held it for seven years! You should be able to recite the words in it, right? "

The so-called "shadow prefect" refers to a secret system in Slytherin House. Unlike the other three colleges, which only elect a male and female prefect in the fifth grade, Slytherin Academy selects "shadow prefects" from the first grade, and there are them at every age.

However, before reaching the fifth grade, the "shadow prefects" of Slytherin House are different from the real prefects, and their candidates are actually not fixed.

Only the young wizard recognized by the students of that year as most likely to safeguard Slytherin's honor will be elected as a "Shadow Prefect".

If you want to become a "Shadow Prefect", the little snakes' magical strength, social skills, family background and many other factors need to be fully considered.

The so-called "Slytherin Secret Manual" refers to a booklet that will only exist in the hands of the shadow prefects and prefects of Slytherin House.

This booklet is entirely written in secret words. Slytherin's prefects and shadow prefects can not only get the secret instructions for the entrance to the common room that day by interpreting the secret words on it, but they can also use it to pass on some information that only exists in Slytherin. Secrets circulated within Lin's small circle.

Therefore, every holder cannot be said to have memorized the contents of that booklet, but at least it can be said to be familiar by heart.

And in it, almost all the words promote "pure blood", "honor", and "Slytherin spirit".

To put it bluntly, this booklet actually does not say anything about pure-blood wizards discriminating against Muggle-born wizards. It only reminds Slytherin students that they must always be vigilant against Muggles.

The villains used as examples in the "Slytherin Manual" have always been the goblins from Gringotts.

Lucius Malfoy has been using the "Slytherin Manual of Secrets" for seven years, but he still compares himself to the goblins of Gringotts - even though he said "we are not the goblins of Gringotts" - this But that's a bit ridiculous.

"Dean Slughorn, you know me, I didn't mean that." Lucius Malfoy categorically denied: "I was just raising questions to President Dumbledore on behalf of the school board. After all, how many of us have The galleons of this family are not grown in the ground, it is impossible..."

"Lucius, do you always like to measure everything with your meager gold galleons?" A voice with contempt and ridicule came from the door, interrupting Lucius.

Bourne felt that the principal's office in Hogwarts Castle tonight had a faint tendency to develop into an internet celebrity attraction.

"There are people coming and going, only the traffic is busy." The little wizard secretly complained, but at the same time he also had another idea: "Now that this person is here, the problem of Galleons should not be a problem."

A tall and thin figure appeared at the door of the principal's office. He had long, messy black hair and a provocative light in his deep blue eyes. Although he was wearing a frayed black robe, which was also covered with dust and tear marks, these could not hide the aristocratic temperament exuding from him.

"Sirius!"

Lucius Malfoy was surprised.

Sirius Black, although he was removed from the family, is still the only heir to the Black family.

He walked into the principal's office with a nonchalant attitude, looked at Lucius with his eyes, and then smiled contemptuously.

"Oh, Lucius, my dear old classmate," Sirius said with a hint of teasing in his voice, "Do you still care so much about that gold? How pathetic."

Lucius' face became a little ugly, but he still tried to stay calm, "Sirius, what are you doing here?"

Sirius walked up to Lucius and looked at him condescendingly. "I'm here to tell you, and you so-called school directors, that your money and your problems don't matter." His voice suddenly became firm and powerful, "Because I'll take care of all those galleons." ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Lucius's eyes, and then he regained his composure, "Sirius, are you kidding? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Sirius sneered, "Of course I know, Lucius. In fact, I have visited twelve other school directors besides you, and they are all very 'happy' to donate the extra donation that needs to be paid this year. Leave it all to me."

He deliberately emphasized the word "pleased", which made Lucius feel a little uneasy.

"As for your questions," Sirius continued, his voice full of disdain, "in my opinion, they are just a group of greedy guys moaning for no reason. The value of Hogwarts cannot be measured with a few gold coins. of."

Lucius's face became even more ugly. He was obviously irritated by Sirius's words. He shouted angrily: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

However, in the face of his roar, Sirius just gestured "yeah".

"Twice," Sirius explained in a relaxed tone: "I paid twice. I mean, whatever extra galleons the school directors needed this year, I gave them twice - After donating to Hogwarts, they can still keep some pocket money for themselves - it turns out that as long as they can communicate, the school directors are still very talkative despite their age. "

Bourne, who was eating melon and listening, couldn't help but secretly thought, "Good guy."
