Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Port of Southampton.

The whistle sounded throughout the UK's largest passenger port located at the confluence of the River Tester and the River Itchen, announcing that the "Queen Mary" cruise ship had entered her mooring berth on time.

People on the cruise ship were disembarking one after another, and one group of people was at the front of the crowd.

Six black men in black suits carried a magnificent sedan that had been converted into a four-poster bed. They pushed aside all the people in front of them and quickly walked towards the exit of Southampton Port.

The velvet curtains around the sedan were half rolled up, revealing a short figure - the guy sitting in the sedan looked exactly the opposite of the people carrying the sedan.

However, although the man sitting in the sedan chair is short in stature, he has a huge head that matches his stature.

He was leaning on a soft cushion, holding a glass of wine garnished with salted cherries. While sipping, he smoked a hookah as if no one was watching, and from time to time, he blew out strings of smoke rings outside the sedan.

There is no doubt that this team of people looks very weird, and it stands to reason that they will gain a high rate of turning heads wherever they go.

But the fact is that no one seems to notice them, including tourists and port staff.

"Hurry up, you lazy idiots..."

When the guy sitting in the sedan blew out the smoke ring for the seventh time, he seemed very dissatisfied that he had not been able to get out of the port, so he drank the champagne in the glass and then smashed the champagne glass against a bearer's head. head.

"...I usually eat a lot, but when I work, I always grind away. Next time anyone recommends me to buy this kind of voodoo labor, I will blow their heads off."

Even though he is actually very old, Narlak's behavior when angry becomes more and more ferocious.

"No one thinks I can come back. No one!" Sitting in the sedan chair, feeling the sea breeze blowing slowly, Narlak was thinking leisurely while smoking a hookah.

Thanks to his urging and urging, the four voodoo laborers exerted all their strength, carried the sedan and pushed through the crowd and ran out of the port.

Outside the port, a truck with a capital letter "N" painted on the carriage has been waiting there for a long time.

As soon as Narlak's four-poster sedan got on board, the car's engine started and drove out of the port parking lot.

"Boss, I've got it done over there." A house elf appeared next to the sedan with a bang.

If any British wizard saw this scene, that person would be so surprised that he would ask three questions in a row - Who am I? where am I? What am I doing?

A house elf... not only serving a goblin, but calling that goblin "boss"?

It’s all like this, and the Ministry of Magic doesn’t care?

However, this is indeed the reality on the American continent: the Ministry of Magic in the United States, that is, the organization called the Magical Congress, spends a lot of energy on dealing with the relationship with the Muggle government and dealing with the descendants of the Purifiers (hostile to wizards). group) caused a series of bad things, so humanoid magical creatures such as goblins and house elves were neglected.

Therefore, the entire America is not only the region where the "Secrecy Act" is most strictly enforced, but also the region where the "Secrecy Act" is implemented with the worst effect... no one.

It is precisely because of this that Narlak, who was exiled more than 80 years ago, not only did not die in this "barbaric land", he finally succeeded in making it to the Big Apple City and took root.

He opened a speakeasy called The Blind Pig in an alley just a few blocks from the Woolworth Building (home of MACUSA).

In addition to selling fake wine to all kinds of scum, the Blind Pig Tavern sells all kinds of intelligence and has become a famous underground intelligence distribution center in the American wizarding world.

After starting a business successfully again, Narlak became smarter after his comeback. He kept many subordinates around him.

Most of them are goblins like him who were exiled to America by the Ministry of Magic of various countries. The rest are ownerless house elves, wild wizards who have never attended formal magic schools... and other marginalized people in the magical world.

If not for the rise of the "first generation Dark Lord" Grindelwald, Narlak failed to see the situation clearly for a while and acted too greedy when facing Newt Scamander, so when Grindelwald Having been implicated in some ways during his downfall, his career might be even bigger today!

"Take a warning. You must take a warning. You must not provoke anyone related to the 'White Devil'."

To this day, he still uses these words to reflect on himself three times every day. So when he returned to Britain this time, he specially selected some people who had nothing to do with Dumbledore to solve the debt problem.

This won't happen again, right?

……

At the Hermit Manor, Sherlock suddenly had a head as big as a bucket after being reminded by Dr. Watson that owls could not send letters to the Auror office.

However, Sherlock was indeed Sherlock, and he quickly came up with a Plan B.

"We quickly organized the little wizards and sealed off the restaurant in the manor, which has a wine cellar.

Then, Raul, go and notify all the other house elves in the manor and ask them all to find their masters. "

Raul is the name of the house elf who takes care of him and Dr. Watson on weekdays. The two of them played chess just now and Raul helped them complete the chess game with the chess pieces in hand.

Sherlock's portrait is carried on the Fire Crab's back, while Doctor Watson floats beside him. "Are you sure that Narlak will come to the Hermitage Manor? That oil painting has been hanging in the manor for several years. Why are you so sure that he will come here recently?"

"First, the average lifespan of an elf is about two hundred years old. Narlak is one hundred and seventy-three years old this year, which is equivalent to a sixty- or seventy-year-old human being. He has already entered his twilight years.

If he doesn't come back to take revenge or do something else, he probably won't have a chance in this life.

Second, I noticed a secret before. The guy's portrait simulated the real-time scene in the 'Blind Pig Tavern'. The magic painter used a connecting spell to connect the Blind Pig Tavern thousands of miles away with every stroke on the portrait.

Two days ago, I saw a recruitment notice in that painting. The guy wanted to hire several voodoo servants as bearers.

Although he has been cursed, once he sets foot in the area under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic, he will be discovered by the Ministry of Magic immediately.

But he could have chosen not to set foot on British soil. For example, if he takes a carriage, taxi, or container truck, as long as his feet do not come into contact with the land, the spell will not be triggered even if he walks past the entrance of the magic department.

Moreover, when I was young, Little Red Book Publishing House published a family magic book called "Ninety-nine Interesting Ways to Fool Muggles", which talked about the 'sedan'.

Whether it is ancient Europe, Persia, Central Asia or East Asia, the sedan has appeared as a means of transportation in the history of many Muggle countries. Hire bearers to carry a sedan modified from a four-poster bed through Muggle streets and alleys. In the sixteenth century, it was a popular entertainment activity for many pure-blood family wizards. For this reason, a kind of 'Sedan Banishing Curse' was also born. As long as this spell is cast and the bearer can lift the sedan in a certain rhythm, the wizard can make the surrounding Muggles turn a blind eye to the sedan.

Third, and most importantly, earlier today I gave that guy an offer he couldn't refuse. "
