Chapter 2 002. The missing boy and the philandering roommate

The girl probably didn't expect that Scott was looking at the door before she opened the door, which caused her to meet his gaze as soon as she opened the door.

She pursed her lips in embarrassment under Scott's gaze, held the door with her hands, and stood up straighter.

"Harry Potter and Ron Weasley?"

Scott spoke a little slowly and his voice was a little deep.

He has not yet left the stage of voice change. In order to prevent his voice from breaking and causing embarrassment, he always subconsciously slows down his speech speed and lowers his voice.

"Sorry, I didn't see those two gentlemen, Miss Granger." He shook his head at Hermione Granger and answered her politely.

Of course, he actually knew that the two boys should be flying in the sky in a car.

"Oh, thank you."

Hermione Granger thanked him quickly and glanced at the book in his hand - "Holidays with a Dominatrix".

On the cover of the book, a picture of Gerald Lockhart gives her a goofy, "charming" smile.

Scott was a little surprised to see that she didn't leave. He asked, "Is there anything else you can do, Miss Granger?"

The little witch raised her eyebrows and spoke very quickly: "Were you reading "Holiday with a Dominatrix" just now? I need to apologize to you for disturbing your wonderful reading time, but I haven't yet Know your name. Oh, by the way, you know me?"

Scott chuckled softly, "Of course I know you, Granger who defended the Philosopher's Stone with the 'Savior' Mr. Potter in the last school year, and contributed fifty points to Gryffindor's House Cup at the end of the dinner. Miss. By the way, Scott Trollope, Ravenclaw, about to enter his fourth year.”

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Trollope. And I'm really sorry for interrupting your reading..."

Hermione Granger still spoke at a very fast speed.

Scott was about to say goodbye to her, but he didn't expect that her words hadn't ended yet...

"... Of course, I've read that book. It's really good. I mean, Professor Lockhart's books are amazing. They're just great. This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is really exciting, isn't it? ? See you at Hogwarts."

After quickly saying these long words, she exited the cubicle, closed the door and left in a hurry.

What a fiery girl.

Scott shook his head, then fell into thought.

He reviewed the general "plot" of this school year in his mind - the diary of one of Voldemort's seven Horcruxes would control Ginny Weasley, the youngest daughter of the Weasley family, to open Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and release One of the basilisks attacks Muggle-born students.

This plot was extremely unfriendly to him, a young wizard born as a Muggle. Because he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't encounter a deadly basilisk in the school corridor one day.

It seems that this school year can't go by as it should be - Scott, who has been doing it for three years, thought.

During the summer vacation, he thought about many plans for this "plot" and finally formulated a plan that was generally safe and feasible.

It was impossible to take risks, and he wanted to nip danger in the bud while ensuring his own safety.

At this time, he reviewed his plan again, then relaxed, took out his pocket watch from his robe pocket and checked the time.

It was 12:43 noon, more than an hour had passed since the train started.

He was going to take out the lunch he had brought to fill his stomach.

But just as he opened his backpack, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the door of the compartment.

After another five seconds, the door of the compartment was opened again.

"So you're here, Scott."

The tall, muscular boy poked his head in and took a look, then strode into the booth and sat on the seat opposite Scott.

"Hey, Roger."

Scott took out the paper bag containing the hamburger from his backpack and asked in surprise: "Why are you here? I thought you would be with your current girlfriend...that...Hufflepuff...Miss Mill?" "

Roger Davis, a Ravenclaw student in the same grade as Scott, is also his roommate who lives in the same dormitory.

"Mil?" Roger grinned at Scott, "She and I have broken up."

When Scott heard the news, he just paused the movements of his hands for a second (a moment of silence for himself who was trying to remember Miss Mill), and then asked casually: "When did this happen again?"

Roger said with a smile: "The days after the final exam last school year."

Scott glanced at Roger calmly and said nothing.

Roger has added a new page to his rich love history, but he has no interest in making any comments.

"Are you not curious at all about the reason why I broke up?"

Roger took advantage of Coster to open the paper bag and grab a hamburger from inside.

"Trust me, Roger."

Scott handed Roger a bottle of Coke.

"If you have an extremely philandering roommate like me, you will definitely get used to it after three years and completely lose interest in his love experience. I guess even Eddie has no interest in spreading this kind of excess. Frequent 'love news'."

Edica Mitchell, their roommate, this boy who entered school a year later than them is usually very keen on spreading all kinds of gossip.

Roger shrugged, chewing a burger in his mouth and said vaguely: "From what you said, it seems that your playboy roommate is a very bad guy."

Scott gave Roger a slightly exaggerated fake smile and said, "He is a good roommate to me. His philandering has nothing to do with me. After all... those girls he dumped are not familiar with me, and... I won't fall in love with him."

"Okay."

Roger took this as a compliment. He happily opened the cap of the Coke bottle and raised the Coke bottle towards Scott.

"Cheers to my roommate."

"Cheers to my roommate."

Scott raised the unopened Coke bottle and touched it with him.

Roger didn't care. He just stared at Scott and smiled strangely, winking at him and asked: "The girl who just left this cubicle is the Gryffindor's 'savior' Potter's friend 'Miss Know-It-All', right? How did you know each other?"

Scott glanced at him unhappily, swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "We just met. She asked me if I saw her friends Potter and Weasley. Those two boys may not have caught the train. Why, didn't she ask you?"

"Maybe because I missed it when I went to the toilet?"

Roger thought this news was very interesting. He smiled and said: "There was a problem on the first day of the new school year. You are really worthy of being the 'savior'."

Scott thought to himself, it's just a short time since the beginning. The "savior" always needs to go through hardships to defeat the big devil and save the world, right?

At this time, Roger saw the book "Holiday with the Hag" that Scott placed on the seat beside him. He asked Scott curiously: "You actually read this kind of novel?"

"Novel?" Scott deliberately raised his eyebrows and looked at him questioningly, "This is the textbook for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the new school year."
