Chapter 8 008. Adventure's invitation birthday gift
"Why did you two get up so early today?" Scott looked at Fred and George inquiringly, "unless...you didn't sleep last night?"
"We've had enough sleep over the summer! And great adventures are calling us!" Fred gave a strange salute.
George raised his head "proudly", "Mr. Trollope, who has been absent from adventure activities for a whole year, will not understand such a reason."
"But I have support for you, haven't I?" Scott pointed to the brass monocular in Fred's hand.
"It was just your Christmas present from last year!" Fred shortened the retractable telescope into the pocket of his robe.
"It's not going to give us an early look at the nasty old Filch on a night tour of the twisty castle." George also took out an identical telescope from his pocket and shook it, "We can only use it to observe Percy. What are you doing sneakily?"
"Maybe he wanted to ambush under Ravenclaw Tower and kill a few competitors by surprise," Fred guessed.
George's eyes widened in horror, "This way he can make sure that he can become the student council president in the seventh grade!"
Scott couldn't help laughing.
"Maybe he'll choose to kill you two nasty brothers first," he said.
"Oh, Percy must have thought that more than once." George blinked.
Fred continued: "He wants to be Minister of Magic, and we might be a stain on his future."
"He thought that as long as the stain was removed..."
"...he could be a pure and unblemished Minister of Magic!"
The two said strange things and laughed again.
After laughing, Fred suddenly said with a serious face: "We want to tell you, Scott."
"Welcome to join us again in the new school year." George also put on a serious look.
Scott was a little surprised.He only met the twins on a few night tours in first and second grade, and together they eluded Filch, the janitor.In the last school year, he indulged in research and did not travel at night.
Unexpectedly, the twins regarded him as a night travel companion.
"Maybe?" Scott smiled, uncertainly.
"That's it, if you have any new discoveries, be sure to tell us."
"goodbye!"
The twins thought to themselves that he had agreed, and ran away like a gust of wind with a smile.
Scott shook his head and walked across the foyer into the auditorium.
He sat at the long table and read a book for a while, when food appeared on the table.
It's time for breakfast.
He put the book aside and grabbed a glass of milk, some sausage and bacon, a sun egg, a soda bread.Then began to slowly enjoy his breakfast.
Just as Scott was about to finish his meal, his three roommates showed up at the long table.
"Scott, why are you up so early." Roger yawned and sat next to Scott.
"Maybe I got used to it during the summer vacation," Scott said. "I follow my parents' schedule during the summer vacation."
"Did you know Scott, something big happened last night that we didn't know about." Eddie said in a low voice while tearing bread into his mouth.
"what's up?"
Scott drank the milk from the glass in one breath and put down the glass in his hand.
"You know, when the school starts, freshmen are always going to go back later than us because they have to learn to recognize their way. So we missed it last night!"
Eddie obviously regretted that he didn't get the first-hand news, but he told Scott enthusiastically: "Last night when Cooper and Taylor led the freshmen up the spiral staircase of Ravenclaw Tower, there were some freshmen among them. A boy pushed a girl down the stairs."
When Scott heard this, he immediately thought of something, so he asked him, "Is that girl okay?"
"It's okay, Cooper used the Floating Charm on her in time." Eddie said with a smile, "Anyway, the boy who pushed people caused public anger. He was kicked out of the dormitory by his roommate and slept in the common room for one night. In the morning It was sent back by Penello."
It turned out to be the case.
Scott understands that the boy is Jacob Kent.
But... he always felt that the boy's behavior didn't seem to have the guts to push his classmates down the stairs.
But Penello has dealt with it.Scott thinks she'll handle it better than Cooper and Taylor.
So he quickly dropped the matter.
"I want to talk to Professor Flitwick, so I'll go to the Charms classroom first." Scott picked up the book on the table and stood up. "See you in class later, Roger, Milton."
"I'm going with you, Scott!"
Roger stood up at this time with the book in his hand, and a sandwich in his hand.
"I need to apply to the professor to cancel my divination class."
"Let's go together then." Scott had no objection.
The two walked upstream from the students who entered the auditorium one after another, all the way to the magic spell classroom on the fourth floor of the main castle.
Scott pushed open the door of the classroom, and sure enough, Professor Flitwick was already standing on the pile of books next to the podium.
Professor Flitwick is always in the habit of coming to the classroom early to watch every student arrive.
"Good morning, Professor Flitwick."
Scott and Roger greeted respectfully.
"Good morning! Scott, Roger!" Professor Flitwick responded graciously. He has part goblin blood, which makes him very short and has a sharp voice.
"professor……"
Roger stepped forward and explained his request to Professor Flitwick.
After listening to Roger's words, Professor Flitwick did not express any objection. He smiled and said, "This is normal, Roger. I think students can allocate their time reasonably and give up some subjects that are doomed to be fruitless is also a kind of rationale. The manifestation of wisdom."
"Thank you, Professor!"
Roger was delighted to have been recognized by Professor Flitwick.
"Then your divination class will be cancelled this school year, and I'll explain it to Professor Trelawney."
Professor Flitwick nodded and looked at Scott again.
"Do you have anything to tell me too, Scott."
"Of course." Scott stepped forward and smiled confidently, "I can't wait to show you a result, so I came to the classroom early. This is also a birthday present for you in advance."
"birthday present?"
Professor Flitwick screamed in excitement.Although his birthday on October 10th is still more than a month away, but who cares!
"Oh! I love birthday presents! What are you waiting for? Mr. Trollope!" He couldn't help but look expectantly.
"I'll show it to you!"
Scott put his hand into the deformed lizard skin bag around his waist, and took out an oil painting that was almost his height.
Professor Flitwick smiled, he could see that Scott's deformed lizard pocket was just a disguise, and it was clear that it was able to hold such a big thing with the blessing of the Traceless Stretching Charm, but he didn't expose it.
He just looked expectantly at the oil painting covered by a white cloth in front of him.
"Could it be... Mr. Trollope, you taught yourself magic painting?" Professor Flitwick rubbed his hands.
"It's not a magic painting."
Scott reached for the white cloth.
"Although I only used Muggle painting techniques, I think this painting shows my work better than the magic painting."
After speaking, he tore off the white cloth.
"Oh!!!"
Looking at the oil painting suddenly displayed in front of him, Professor Flitwick's eyes widened for a moment, he suddenly let out a high-pitched scream, and fell off the stack of books.
Roger hurried to help him, but Professor Flitwick couldn't care less about it.
"Oh...it's true...it's incredible..."
He kept exclaiming in surprise.
Looking at Professor Flitwick's reaction, Scott couldn't help but smile complacently, "Professor, are you satisfied with this birthday present?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied!"
Professor Flitwick nodded again and again with a smile on his face.
