Chapter 518 518. The last summer vacation ends
The shopping activity that lasted the whole afternoon almost exhausted all of Scott's physical strength. He stayed at home resolutely for the next few days.
Of course, he was not idle during the time at home, but continued to study the two super magics in depth.
Because there was the [Eye of Odin] space, he had no shortage of places to practice magic.
In addition to practicing magic, Scott also called his father Michael to help him build a house with local materials in the space.
A few days later, his cousin Ramiro, who came to play with him, was also drafted by him.
Of course, Scott could use spells to complete most of the work of building a house, and it didn't actually require people to do physical work.
In the end, including the design, it took them only five days to build a small wooden villa.
This time, no transfiguration was used to build the house.
Although transfiguration can last for a long time, there will be a day when the magic power is exhausted and it returns to its original form.
Since it is a house, stability is still necessary.
The most interesting thing after that is to design the "water" and "electricity" parts of the house.
Scott wanted a house with more magic.
Instead of using the Muggle water and electricity system, he flexibly used various magic circuit combinations to provide lighting and water for the house.
It took another five days to design, engrave and install these magic circuits, and Scott finally got the result he wanted.
After the basic construction was completed, he handed the decoration work to Emilia.
Emilia burst out with great enthusiasm for this.
She bought a batch of antique furniture through Michael's channels, and bought various decorations and plants as if wholesale.
In the end, under her command, Scott did it himself and turned the villa into a very dreamy fairy tale style.
The kind that girls and children will like at first sight.
In this regard...
Scott did not comment.
As long as people can live in it, it's fine, right?
In short, after completing all this, the time came to the end of August, and the day of Hogwarts school was approaching again.
This will also be Scott's last year at Hogwarts.
On August 20, Scott received a communication from Professor Flitwick.
"Oh, Scott, you blocked your name again, so the owl can't send you the notice for the start of the school year."
"Sorry, I'm sorry, professor."
"It's okay, I know you want to hide your parents' address."
"Yes, professor."
"I will send you a message with the list of books to be used in the new school year, but this is not what I really want to say. Congratulations, Scott, Albus appointed you as the new male student union president."
"Thank you, do you know who my partner is?"
"Caccini Strozzi, a female student of Hufflepuff, she was appointed as the new female student union president."
"Caccini?"
"Yes, oh, Scott, remember to organize all the prefects to patrol the carriages on the train. I think the lack of the president's badge will not affect your direct work."
"I know, thank you for informing me."
On August 30, Scott flew back to the UK.
On August 31, he and a few friends met to go shopping at Diagon Alley.
"Oh, Mom, we are adults!"
"Yes, adults should have a taste of drinking!"
When Scott walked into the Leaky Cauldron, he heard Fred and George talking loudly.
He saw the red-haired family gathered near the bar.
Obviously, the twins were trying to fight for their right to drink.
But Mrs. Weasley obviously wouldn't let them do so.
"Want to drink? Unless you have graduated from Hogwarts, or I die!"
She roared at the twins, then turned to Ginny and said, "Dear, keep an eye on your two mischievous brothers at school. If you find them drinking, write to me immediately."
"Got it, Mom."
Ginny's expression was reluctant, but Ron showed an eager expression.
"Good morning, Mrs. Weasley."
Scott walked over.
"Oh, Scott, come on, don't you want to try it?"
Fred and George winked at him.
"Fire whiskey."
"Go away, don't corrupt other people's good children."
Mrs. Weasley's loud voice attracted most of the attention in the bar, and Scott, who was no longer unknown, was immediately recognized.
More than one person said that he was a warrior of the Triwizard Tournament.
"Oh, our warrior is here."
Bald Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, was also very enthusiastic about him.
"Want a drink? I can provide a free cup for the champion warrior."
What's more exaggerated is that there are several children wearing "Warrior" badges and holding [Magic Crystal Player] screaming and surrounding Scott to ask for autographs.
Scott could only sigh that Eddie's business was so big while satisfying the requests of these lovely children.
"Oh, dear, you have become a celebrity."
Mrs. Weasley praised him with a smile, and turned to look at the twins with disgust.
But the twins can't wait to get rid of their mother.
"Go, mom, you go shopping with Ron and Ginny."
"And we are already adults."
"We have our own money."
"We can go home by ourselves."
"Go!"
The two of them sang in unison and waved their hands repeatedly.
Mrs. Weasley was angry, but she couldn't do anything about them, so she slapped them on the back several times, warned them a few words, and then led Ron and Ginny out of the bar first.
As soon as she left, Fred and George immediately wanted to make trouble.
Scott reminded them.
"If you are not sure about the amount of alcohol, it is best not to try it now. I don't want to take care of two drunks."
But the twins still couldn't hold back their eagerness. Although they didn't choose Fire Whiskey, they still ordered two drinks with lower alcohol concentration to try.
They sat in the bar for a while, and Scott's three roommates walked in from the door of the bar together.
"Oh, Scott!"
Milton looked particularly excited today and ran over first.
"You are right!"
He lowered his voice but couldn't hide his excitement.
"Music is indeed a kind of magic!"
Scott looked at him in shock.
"You mean..."
"Yes, I succeeded."
Milton nodded desperately.
"We can prove it." Roger said with a complicated expression.
Eddie also shrugged his shoulders, "Although I don't think this is scientific or magical."
It took Scott a while to digest this fact.
Although he said that to Milton, it was more of an encouragement!
Using music to cast magic, it just gave Milton a suitable direction for him to move forward.
For Scott, there was no clue at all.
Who would have thought that Milton could really succeed in such a short time!
It's outrageous.
"Milton, you are really a genius!"
Scott patted Milton's shoulder hard.
"A real genius!"
Milton just smiled shyly.
The twins also gave Milton a thumbs up.
"Amazing."
"Cool!"
"How did you do it?"
"Can you show us?"
Milton looked around and said, "It's not convenient here. I'll show you when we get back to Hogwarts. Of course, the effect is still very weak."
"But you've taken the hardest first step." Scott said, "Anyway, I'll believe you. No one is more suitable for this kind of magic than you."
As they talked and laughed, they walked out of the Leaky Cauldron and entered the busy Diagon Alley.
When they got here, Scott caused more screams.
On the way to Gringotts Bank, strange wizards would greet him from time to time.
Of course, the most enthusiastic ones were the children. There were always children looking at him with admiration. The braver ones would shout "Warrior" and come around to ask for autographs.
Scott's friends were teasing him, saying that he had become a more popular star in the magic world than Lockhart.
Scott didn't really want to accept such a comparison.
After entering Gringotts Bank, Scott took out the check he won from the Triwizard Tournament to cash.
Seeing the denomination of 1,000 gold galleons on the check, the goblin clerk at the bank did not look very happy.
Especially after Scott rejected its proposal to open the vault.
Scott did not care.
Everyone knows that these greedy goblins do not want any gold galleon to leave Gringotts.
But Scott does not need to open the vault at all. There is no safer place to hide gold than the [Eye of Odin] space.
"Please hurry up."
Scott knocked on the counter, urging the bank clerk who was deliberately dawdling.
The goblin clerk reluctantly said, "Sorry, the amount you withdraw is huge and must be approved by the bank supervisor."
"Very good." Scott raised his eyebrows, "Then let the bank supervisor come over."
He was already a little impatient.
At this time, several other people who had withdrawn money also gathered around, standing behind Scott and looking at the goblin clerk on the counter, putting pressure on it.
The goblin clerk named Kag shrank his neck and stretched out his hand to guide Scott, "Please follow me."
Scott and the others followed it to a room on the side and met the goblin supervisor Prager.
Kag whispered something to the goblin supervisor's long ear, and Plagg's face changed. He immediately responded to Scott with a bit of exaggerated enthusiasm.
"Oh, welcome, Mr. Trollope, the warrior, welcome to Gringotts."
Scott didn't want to talk to it, but shook the check in his hand and directly told him the purpose of his visit.
"Here is the check, a total of 1,000 gold galleons, give it to me immediately."
While speaking, he also mobilized all his magic power to form a momentum to press on Plagg's head.
When Scott's momentum was opened, even his friends couldn't help but take a step back, not to mention the two goblins.
They sat down on the ground, looking up at him in horror.
"I don't want to hear more nonsense."
Scott retracted his momentum.
"Yes."
Plagg touched the sweat on his head and glared at Kag again.
It rubbed its hands and said to Scott flatteringly: "We will prepare 1,000 gold galleons for you right away."
But when facing its subordinates, it immediately changed its face.
"Hurry up, lazy guy!" It shouted at Kag, "Go and prepare gold galleons for our guests!"
"Yes, boss!"
Kag quickly got up from the ground and staggered out of the room.
Even when forced into a corner, the goblin still moved quickly.
In less than ten minutes, a total of 1,000 gold Galleons were piled up in front of Scott.
I don't know if it was because they didn't want to give Scott a bargain, but the goblins didn't use any bags to pack the gold Galleons, but piled them directly on the ground.
"Dear guest, please count the number."
The goblin supervisor Prager kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Oh, let us help!"
Fred and George were eager to try.
"We have never counted so many gold Galleons!"
"No need."
Scott smiled, took out his wand and tapped it.
Countless golden lights formed numbers that danced in the air, and soon disappeared, leaving a neat row of [1000].
"What is this?"
"Just a simple application of the calculation part of arithmetic divination."
Scott nodded.
"Very good, neither one more nor one less."
Under the gaze of the goblins, he took off the pendant on his chest and put all the gold coins into the space.
Finally, they left Gringotts in the disappointed eyes of the goblins.
"Let's go to Flourish and Blotts to buy new textbooks first."
So they walked to the other end of Diagon Alley.
At Flourish and Blotts, they met many acquaintances.
It seemed that most of the students of Hogwarts chose to go to Diagon Alley to shop the day before school started.
Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Ginny were also here, and Harry and Hermione also met up with their friend Ron.
Scott bought the books as quickly as possible and couldn't wait to leave the crowded bookstore.
When passing the entrance to Knockturn Alley, Scott suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Eddie urged, "Hurry up, I still have to buy a new cauldron."
Scott didn't move, but turned his head to look at the dark Knockturn Alley.
The narrow alley was crowded with people coming and going, but everyone wore a black hood to cover their faces.
"You want to go in and take a look? Good idea!"
Fred became interested.
"We haven't been there either. Mom and Dad won't let us go."
"Now is the chance." George said, "After all, we are adults."
"Being an adult is a good reason." Roger complained.
Scott shook his head.
"Just now I sensed a familiar magical fluctuation." He said, "It's Malfoy."
"Malfoy? Is it the old one or the young one?" Fred asked.
"The young one."
"Little Malfoy dared to go to Knockturn Alley alone? He is a coward!" George was a little surprised, "Where did he go?"
Scott shook his head, "There were too many people. I didn't confirm his location and he disappeared."
Roger asked, "Did he go beyond the range of perception?"
"Yes, he disappeared." Scott said, "He should have left through the fireplace."
"What is he doing here?" Fred touched his chin, "It would be great if we could catch him. Old Malfoy is still wanted."
"It's not that easy, let's go."
Scott didn't stay any longer.
But he had decided to send crows to investigate Knockturn Alley.
