Chapter 80 080. A test of choice
Scott and Eddie turned several corners in the dark dungeon under the castle before arriving at the classical music club deep in the dungeon.
"...It is said that this place was chosen so that the music would not disturb others." Eddie said in a disapproving tone, "If you ask me, you can use a spell to isolate the sound, right?"
Scott did not respond to Eddie's complaint. He walked straight to a black door with a bronze plaque and pushed it open.
When the door was opened, the sound of music came.
There were quite a few people in the club at this time.
Musicians wearing school uniforms of different colleges were playing a very strange song with different instruments.
Scott saw Milton playing the cello at a glance.
Milton did not look very well.
His face was very pale, his originally smooth hair looked very rough, and there were thick dark circles around his eyes.
Scott frowned.
The weird music continued to play.
All the musicians, including Milton, seemed very obsessed and did not even notice the arrival of Scott and Eddie.
Scott and Eddie walked into the room and closed the door.
The space occupied by the Classical Music Club looked like a small auditorium, with layers of dark velvet curtains hanging on the four walls.
Scott and Eddie walked to the wall and stood against it.
"What's wrong with this music?" Eddie asked in a low voice.
Scott shook his head.
"Do you want to interrupt their performance?" Eddie rubbed his ears.
Scott asked him, "Did Milton go back to the dormitory last night? Did you ask him what happened?"
Eddie spread his hands, "He went back after curfew and left before we got up in the morning."
Scott frowned again.
He was considering whether to interrupt these people's performance, and the music suddenly stopped.
"Everyone, take a break first." A tall wizard who looked a little mature said to others.
He is Gideon Crum, a seventh-year Hufflepuff, a bagpiper, and the current head of the Classical Music Club.
At the same time, he is also a member of the Weird Sisters singing group.
Scott and Eddie walked straight towards Milton.
The musicians who were discussing something around them suddenly looked at them in surprise, as if they had just noticed their arrival.
"Milton."
Scott walked to Milton's side.
"Scott?" Milton raised his head, "I heard that you went to the school hospital yesterday, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Scott said, "but you look worse and worse."
"Sorry."
Milton lowered his head and looked at his cello.
Scott raised his eyebrows and asked him, "The song you just played was adapted from that organ music?"
"Yes."
Milton still lowered his head, feeling lost.
"Sorry." Scott said bluntly, "I didn't hear any beauty from your performance, so I don't understand why you are obsessed with it."
"This is our problem! Not the problem of that song!" A Slytherin boy sitting next to Milton suddenly spoke.
"That's right, that song is the most beautiful music I have ever heard!"
Gideon Crum came over.
"Maybe our level is not good enough." He looked haggard, "We can't show the beauty of that piece of music."
"Really?"
Scott didn't comment.
He asked Cram directly, "Hello, Cram. Does Professor Flitwick know what happened recently in the Classical Music Club?"
"I know what you want to say!" Cram said a little unhappy, "But Professor Flitwick knows, of course he knows!"
"Sorry, I understand."
Scott was very surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it in front of his face.
He glanced at Milton again.
"Sorry, Milton, we are all worried about you." He said in a gentle tone, "I think, no matter what you want to do, you must ensure that it does not affect your health."
"Oh! Thank you, Scott, Eddie."
Milton raised his head again and smiled gratefully at the two.
"I will pay attention."
"That's good. Then we won't bother you anymore, goodbye."
Just like that, Scott and Eddie turned around and walked out of the black door again.
"Scott?" Eddie looked at him a little confused.
"Let's go find Professor Flitwick." Scott said.
So, the two of them climbed up to the eighth floor of the castle without stopping and knocked on the door of Professor Flitwick's office.
The door opened by itself.
"Come in." Professor Flitwick's voice came from inside.
"Excuse me, professor."
Scott pushed the door open and walked in first.
Professor Flitwick was sitting behind his desk, writing something with a quill in his hand.
"Please sit down." He looked up and smiled at the two of them, "I've been wondering when you will come to see me, Scott, Eddie."
Scott and Eddie also smiled and sat on the sofa beside them.
"Roger has already come to see me." Professor Flitwick said again.
Scott said: "Sorry, professor, that matter..."
"Oh! I'll explain it to you." Professor Flitwick said.
He put down the quill in his hand and jumped off the chair.
"What a pity, Scott." He waved his wand.
The teapot and teacups flew out of the closet automatically, and three steaming cups of black tea were poured on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Oh, come and have a cup of tea, you're welcome... I'm talking about what happened in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets last time." He said, "If I were the principal, I would also give you a special contribution award."
Professor Flitwick sat on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"I don't really want that honor, Professor."
Scott also picked up the tea cup.
"That's best, just a bonus to help blur the focus."
In response to Professor Flitwick's surprised look, he continued: "You know, I don't want to be associated with that vicious joke-like message. I think it might lead to fierce retaliation."
He smiled, "Although that message that could easily anger the mysterious man did come from my hand."
"Maybe you are right, Scott." Professor Flitwick also smiled, "Knowing the trade-off is also a kind of wisdom."
He took the initiative and said, "I know why you came to me."
Scott nodded, "It's about the classical music club, Professor."
"I know you are worried about your friends." Professor Flitwick looked helpless. "I am also worried about those students, but I can't do anything."
Scott was completely surprised this time.
He looked at Professor Flitwick in surprise, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.
"Oh, sorry!"
Professor Flitwick waved his arms excitedly.
"It's related to an ancient oath. Hogwarts Castle is witnessing that oath. Even Dumbledore can't stop it!"
He forced another smile.
"You don't need to worry too much, that oath will not harm the students. I can guarantee that those students will not be in any danger!"
Scott was immediately relieved.
At the same time, he also heard the sound of Eddie taking a deep breath next to him.
"Although that oath will not cause real danger." Professor Flitwick added, "But... it is also a test of choice."
