Chapter 418
When Milton was in a very low mood, the moods of Scott and Roger were also affected.
They weren't ready to leave until Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts.
Milton is still waiting to go to Austria to continue his musical dreams.
Although he hasn't officially decided whether to drop out of Hogwarts, it can be said that he already has this intention.
When talking about this issue, he told Scott and Roger, "I have already discussed this issue with Professor Flitwick. Of course, the professor's opinion is that I'd better stick to it for another two years."
In short, as a teacher, Professor Flitwick did not agree with him giving up his studies.
The professor believes that two years is useful. At least it can improve Milton's magic level to a certain extent, making him a more qualified wizard and thus having more self-protection capabilities.
But Milton seems tired of everything in the wizarding world and just wants to hide in his music world.
This can also be said to be an escape.
But Scott did not persuade anything, nor did he offer any advice.
Although he sympathized with Milton's experience, he couldn't empathize with it. No matter what he said, it was just scratching the surface.
Scott himself faced a lot of trouble.
He even felt that many things were involved and it was already a mess. At this time, he also lacked a clear idea in his head.
In this case, Scott felt that he also needed to quiet down and think about it.
So he went into the Room of Requirement, Helena's study.
"Scott?"
The teenage girl Helena in the painting is clearly surprised to see Scott.
"I remember it's summer vacation, why are you here?"
"Something happened."
Scott recounted the attack they encountered in Austria.
"Oh, that's really unlucky." Helena looked at him sympathetically, "I was going to the concert happily, but this happened."
"I'm used to it." Scott shrugged.
In the past two years, he has always encountered endless accidents.
After Helena helped open the door, Scott walked into the inner room to meet the Ravenclaw mentor in the painting.
"I heard the conversation between you and Helena." Ravenclaw in the painting spoke softly, "In order to avoid being affected in the future, it seems that you must find a way to solve some troubles as soon as possible."
Scott nodded, "When I find the Carlo brothers and sisters, I will make them disappear directly."
Ravenclaw smiled slightly, "It's not easy, not to mention whether you can find them, but more importantly, to prevent other Death Eaters from finding out that you were the one who shot them."
"Not just Death Eaters," Scott said.
"That's right." Ravenclaw nodded slightly. "As far as I know, your potions professor is a double agent arranged by Dumbledore in the Death Eaters organization."
Scott's eyebrows were raised high, "This kind of thing... just tell me like this?"
The smile on Ravenclaw's face remained unchanged, "You are my apprentice."
"Thank you." The smile on Scott's face widened.
He understood that no matter how complicated the situation became, the Ravenclaw mentor was undoubtedly on his side.
At this moment, Ravenclaw asked him, "Do you have the sailor's astrolabe with you?"
"Oh, here we are."
Only then did Scott remember the thing, and quickly took it out of the deformed lizard's skin bag.
"Put it in the center of the room," commanded Ravenclaw in the painting, "and then move that set of tables and chairs out. Of course, you go outside and wait."
Scott responded, put the Sailor Astrolabe on the ground, waved his wand to float the desks and chairs, and brought them to the outside room.
Afterwards, he saw that the small inner room was filled with dazzling blue-white light.
"come in."
As the light faded, Ravenclaw's voice came.
Scott walked in again.
"This thing is harmless." Ravenclaw said her conclusion, "Communicate more, maybe you will get some unexpected gains."
Scott immediately felt relieved and thanked him solemnly.
Ravenclaw said, "Since you're here, go on with your lessons."
Scott, of course, had no objection.
However, this day's class only lasted half a day. After lunch, Scott came to the crow's territory in the forest alone to meet Rimbaud.
"No news yet."
In the oak hut, Scott sat on the bed and listened to Rimbaud.
Since a long time ago, the crows have been helping to find Voldemort and Barty Crouch Jr. in hiding, as well as other Death Eaters, but they have never been found.
Of course, the search for the Carlo brothers and sisters this time will not be so smooth.
"Have you found Malfoy Manor yet?" Scott asked.
He still remembered that in the "Original Book", after Voldemort's resurrection, he used Malfoy Manor as his command base, and he didn't know if it had changed now.
Rimbaud shook his head.
It said: "The Malfoys, as all British wizards know, are happy to attend parties and are keen to have balls at their estate, but have strangely kept a low profile of late."
Scott immediately understood, "This means that there is a ghost, and Voldemort may be hiding in Malfoy Manor."
Rimbaud said: "But obviously, the location of a pure-blood wizard's estate is a secret."
"I think many people know the address of Malfoy Manor." Scott had a flash of inspiration, "For example, Mr. Weasley."
As far as he knew, the Ministry of Magic had searched Malfoy Manor, and Mr. Weasley might actually know the address.
"I'm going to write to Fred and George."
Scott sat up.
"No, they may be able to successfully formulate words...but it may implicate them..."
He hesitated for a moment, then lay back down again.
"Perhaps there is another way."
Scott took out the identity card of the Scholars Union, unfolded the [Book of Prometheus], and searched for the answer in the [Knowledge Bank].
"No." He wasn't frustrated, "but I can still offer a reward for the answer."
Do as soon as he thinks, he posted the question anonymously, after thinking about it, he offered a reward of 500 credits.
The next step is to wait.
And he didn't wait long, the 500 credits were taken away within 1 minute.
[Malfoy Manor is located 6 kilometers north of the town of Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire. ]
Those who answered the questions were also anonymous.
"Fine." Scott laughed.
Rimbaud also saw the answer, "Where shall I go and see?"
"No, you are likely to be discovered." Scott rejected his proposal, "Don't forget, Voldemort may be there, and you were once discovered by Medea."
Rimbaud hung his head in frustration.
"We don't know what kind of qualitative changes will be brought about if a wizard's magic power reaches the level of Voldemort or Dumbledore. In short, it is better to be careful."
Scott said while thinking.
"Leave it to me to monitor the Malfoy Manor. First, let the crows watch from the outside."
Ordinary crows should not cause awakening.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to try the set of rune circuits he got from Ravenclaw on his birthday.
After having an idea, Scott got busy.
He asked Rimbaud to send himself back to Hogwarts Castle, and began to seize the time to familiarize himself with the set of rune circuits.
In order to try to use this set of rune circuits earlier, he devoted all his time to it and ignored other things for the time being.
In Ravenclaw's common room, Scott was writing at his desk, and he was still chanting silently.
And Milton sat by the window, also holding the cello and practicing non-stop.
Roger walked around in the lounge for a while, lay on the sofa for a while, and played wizard chess with himself for a while.
"I can not stand it any more!"
I don't know how long it took, Roger's loud complaints woke up Scott and Milton who were addicted to study and practice.
"I'm so bored!"
Roger's tall and strong body writhed on the sofa like a huge bear child.
"You can leave Hogwarts now and enjoy your summer vacation." Scott raised his head and said to him.
"Yes." Milton agreed.
Unlike Scott and Milton, they stayed here because of business, anyway, Roger can leave here to enjoy his summer vacation and the Quidditch World Cup.
"Hey! I'm staying here to accompany you two!" Roger yelled dissatisfied, "Is this how you treat a loyal and caring friend?"
"Thank you, Roger." Milton laughed. "But you don't have to accompany us, really."
"But, if you really decide to quit school, won't we not be able to see each other for a long time?" Roger muttered.
Scott couldn't help laughing when he heard that.
"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at?" Roger shouted at him again.
Scott also laughed louder, "I still want to ask you, why are you blushing?"
"Oh..." Roger covered his face, "I think what I said just now was a bit nasty."
"..."
Scott was speechless.
"You don't blush when you flirt with girls." He gave Roger a contemptuous look, "It's just that you don't want your friends to blush."
He was about to laugh at Roger, when a group of owls flew in through the window and threw a pile of letters and gifts in front of Scott.
"Oh..." Scott was a little surprised, "I just lifted the shielding spell on my name this morning."
He brought out some food to entertain the group of messengers, and then began to open the letters and presents.
"Is this your belated birthday present?" Roger walked up to him curiously.
Scott nodded, "Probably, I thought there would be none, because I blocked my name."
"Look who's there." Roger glanced, "Oh, Luna, the Weasley brothers, Potter, Cedric, Savannah... you're very popular."
"Fine." Scott smiled.
He opened the letter and looked at it, and found that most of the envelopes contained a birthday card.
Then came the presents.
The gift Fred and George gave him was a ticket to the Quidditch World Cup Final.
They invited him to see it together, on August 8nd.
"Oh, tickets for the final?" Roger quickly took it away and looked at it, "There is still a month before the final, and the tickets are issued now? I have to hurry to buy one. Although I don't know which two will participate in the final team, but there is hope for the British team this year..."
Scott brushed off his quibbles about England's 30-year absence from the World Cup and continued unwrapping other presents.
Luna's gift was a homemade necklace.
Compared with her homemade carrot drop earrings and butterbeer cork necklace, this necklace looks a little more normal.
Of course it's not that normal.
The chain of the necklace was made of silver, and on it hung the white bones of some unknown creatures, brown eagle feathers, and black crow feathers.
Harry's gift was a magazine - a special issue of the first half of Transfiguration Today.
Savannah sent another golden acorn.
According to her, this fruit is different from the previous one. The previous one sealed attack spells, but this one can heal injuries and can also be used repeatedly.
These are the gifts, others only sent greeting cards.
But Scott was relieved that he would only need to return a card when everyone else celebrated their birthdays.
You know, choosing the right gift for Christmas every year will give him a headache for a while.
After collecting all the presents and greeting cards, Scott sent everyone a letter back.
Of course, some wrote more and briefly described some current situations, while some wrote less, just a letter of thanks.
After spending a lot of time writing the letter, he went to the school's owl shack to post all the letters.
That afternoon, Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts.
In the evening, several professors and three students who were still staying at the school had a dinner in the auditorium.
After dinner, Scott was about to talk to Dumbledore when suddenly there was thunder and lightning outside the window, and it rained heavily.
"Oh! I can transform!"
Scott stood up a little excitedly.
"That's right," said Professor McGonagall immediately. "Now go get your potion and try it under my supervision."
"I'm going!"
Scott didn't say anything, and directly activated the port key.
"Rimbaud!"
Scott, who came to the crow's territory, first cast a waterproof spell on himself, and then asked Rimbaud to lead him to the cliff where the potion was buried.
After removing the big rock with a spell and digging out the potion from the ground, he asked Rimbaud to send him back to Hogwarts as quickly as possible.
During the whole process, the sky has been pouring rain, and even after the waterproofing charm, Scott is still in a mess.
When he returned to the auditorium, everyone was still waiting for him.
"You buried the potion in the Forbidden Forest?"
Professor McGonagall looked at him in a panic, and waved his wand to dry his body and clothes.
She didn't care too much about Scott's strange behavior of disappearing suddenly and appearing on a crow just now, but directly ordered, "Adjust your breathing and state, and then drink the potion. I think you will remember the rest of the steps, because I've told you many times."
Scott nodded repeatedly.
He took a few deep breaths, pointed his wand at his heart, and chanted the spell.
Then he opened the bottle of potion, raised his head and drank the red liquid in the bottle.
