Chapter 14 014. New Discovery Undercurrent

In the days that followed, Scott saw Jacob Kent hanging out with a few girls several times.

In order to confirm his thoughts, Scott still took the initiative to greet him twice.

He was sure that the boy actually understood his intention to greet him, but the boy dealt with it perfunctorily every time.

So Scott never greeted him again after that.

Counting it up, he had given the boy three chances to ask for help, but the other party did not seem to want to seek help.

In his opinion, this already showed that the other party was voluntarily hanging out with those girls.

So Scott naturally stopped taking this matter to heart.

But when the time came to a certain day at the end of September, Eddie suddenly announced in the dormitory that he had discovered more about "that thing".

At that time, Scott did not react for a while to what he was referring to by "that thing".

Until Eddie walked up to him and said excitedly: "Scott, you are right! Miss 'Poison Doll' is really not simple."

"Huh?"

Scott then realized what Eddie was talking about.

He immediately adjusted his expression and asked him calmly: "Very good, Eddie, tell me what you found?"

"You..." Eddie looked at him with doubtful eyes, "You haven't forgotten about it, have you? Scott! It was obviously the task you gave me at that time!"

"Why do you say that?" Scott showed a surprised expression, "I have been waiting for your progress, Eddie."

"No, it's not just you." Eddie's tone was full of distrust, "I suddenly remembered that you haven't asked me about any progress in this matter during this period!"

At this time, Roger, who was standing behind Eddie, looked at Scott with a guilty look.

He hurried over and put his hand on Eddie's shoulder intimately, "Of course we won't keep asking about your progress, because we know that you are undoubtedly a genius in digging out information, Eddie, we all believe in you."

"Really?" Eddie turned his head and stared at him with doubtful eyes.

"Of course." Roger nodded without changing his face.

"Milton."

Eddie suddenly turned around, trying to find the person in this dormitory who was the least likely to lie and the least likely to pretend.

At this time, Scott and Roger began to panic and looked at Milton's bed.

Swish!

Milton, who knew his own shortcomings, quickly pulled the bed curtains.

His unstable voice came through the blue flannel, "Sorry... I seem to be a little sleepy."

Scott and Roger were helpless.

As expected of Milton, his guilty voice had betrayed them.

"Oh, since Milton is tired, let's not disturb him to rest."

Roger wanted to make amends. He put his arm around Eddie's neck again, took him to the window sill, and then made him sit on the sofa.

Eddie, who was a little bloated, could not resist the tall and strong Roger, so he could only sit down with a stinky face, and stared at Roger and Scott with resentful eyes.

"You just forgot." He leaned back on the sofa, "I should have noticed it earlier."

"Milton!" He suddenly said loudly with great pain, "I thought you were the only one I could trust! I didn't expect you to be bad too!"

"Yes... I'm sorry..." Milton apologized faintly.

"Forget it."

Eddie was a little scared when he heard Milton's tone, and quickly pointed the finger at the other two people.

"If you ask me, this is all your fault!"

"It's not my fault!" Roger began to shirk responsibility, "You know, Eddie, I'm busy with Quidditch training in my spare time. Captain Bruce wants to get this year's Quidditch trophy before graduation."

He pointed at Scott, "And the commander of this matter is Scott!"

"..."

Scott sat on the bedpost and put down the small piece of ebony he was playing with.

"This matter..." he said, "I can explain it."

"Really?" Eddie, who was sitting on the sofa, took a more arrogant posture and crossed his legs. "Then please explain it, Mr. Trollope."

"I gave the boy two more chances to ask for help..."

Scott talked about his experience.

"... Just like that, since he gave up, I didn't take it to heart. After all, everyone has to be responsible for every choice they make."

At this point, Scott was already justified.

"Then did you forget one thing, Mr. Trollope." Eddie gritted his teeth and said, "That is to inform your poor roommate Eddie Carmichael and tell him that he can give up the task!"

"Oh, Eddie! I just can't bear to disturb your fun of digging secrets. I know you have always been addicted to it."

Scott quickly changed the subject.

"Tell us quickly, what kind of news have you dug out?"

"Yes, I remember you just said that you have made more discoveries." Roger also said, "That must be amazing news."

"Huh."

Speaking of this, Eddie was immediately very proud, and his nose was about to turn up.

"Luckily, I'm here, Scott." He was so proud. "This matter has exceeded your expectations. If I wasn't here, what would you do then?"

Scott took a deep breath and smiled kindly at Eddie, "I see, then please tell us quickly."

"All right."

Eddie immediately settled down.

"I said it before. You're right, Scott. What Miss Travers did secretly was amazing..."

Eddie revealed the secrets he had discovered.

That first-year Slytherin student, Jasmine Travers, whom Eddie called the "poison doll", actually managed to win over a large number of lower-grade girls in less than a month after the school started. Students gathered around her.

These female students are generally first and second years, and most belong to Slytherin and Ravenclaw houses, with a small number of Hufflepuffs.

Of course, there is no Gryffindor.

Most of these female students come from ancient pure-blood families, or families where both parents are wizards.

"They secretly formed a secret society." Eddie pretended to be mysterious and whispered, "The name is [Afternoon Tea for Pure-blood Girls]."

"I heard that you made up the name of this club." Roger frowned, "But that's not important. What's important is that since that girl has already won over so many students, the movement should not be small. How come no one noticed? "

"They are all in contact with each other in private and secret ways. They have never been together on a large scale at the same time." Eddie said confidently, "What Scott saw before was very close to Jacob Kent. Those girls should be the backbone of this club!”

"Wait a minute... As a boy and born as a Muggle, how did Jacob Kent get in?" Roger was very surprised. "Speaking of which, this kid is very powerful!"

"No." Scott had a headache. "What must be clarified now is that if the information Eddie inquired about is true, what exactly does Travers want to do? Become a new generation of Dark Lord?"

"Don't say that."

Roger's face suddenly turned pale.

"This kind of joke is not funny at all."

Scott thought to himself, I'd rather make this a joke.

You know, his top plan for this school year corresponds to Voldemort's diary and the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets! Who knows why there are such undercurrents in parts that are not described in the "original work".
