Chapter 111
Hearing the news brought by Eddie, Scott had a feeling that "it's finally here".

But at the same time, he also felt a little guilty. Recently, he was obsessed with his own affairs and somewhat ignored Milton's actions.

"Come on, let's go and see," he said to Eddie.

When the two arrived at the school hospital, Milton had already woken up.

"Milton, are you all right?"

Scott and Eddie walked into the ward quickly after obtaining Madam Pomfrey's consent.

"You are here."

Milton was sitting on the hospital bed, smiling at them.

He looks weak.

"what happened?"

Scott glanced at Madam Pomfrey who was staring at them from a distance, and asked Milton softly.

"It seems that your operation is not going well."

Milton shook his head.

"Just like Scott, you often say." His voice was a little hoarse, "Everyone has to bear the corresponding price for the choices they make."

Having said that, he bowed his head.

"It was I who agreed to the exchange of vows, and it was I who chose to give up music, and now I want to go back on it... This is wrong in the first place."

"Let's not talk about the right and wrong of this matter." He said to Milton, "You tell us the specifics of the matter and how you fainted there."

Milton shook his head.

His long hair covered his face, and Scott couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Milton, let us help you together." Eddie said, "If you can't do it alone, maybe everyone can do it together."

"No."

Milton shook his head again.

"You are not allowed to participate in this matter." He said firmly, "Because of the oath, even the professors cannot interfere in this matter."

"Professor Flitwick said, but the oath only binds the professor, not us students," Scott said.

Milton raised his head and looked at them seriously, "I'm fine now, although I'm a little bit unwilling to lose the concert."

He flashed a relieved smile.

"But my magic power has become a lot stronger, and I'm also handy when learning spells. This is a good thing, isn't it?"

Scott was silent.

Because he noticed that Milton's hands were gripping the sheet tightly, and his knuckles were white.

Scott and Eddie persuaded Milton for a while, but Milton never let go, which made it impossible for them to help even if they wanted to help.

In the end, they could only let Milton have a good rest, and then they left the school hospital under Madam Pomfrey's driving.

After Roger's Quidditch training was over, the three of them discussed the matter again in the dormitory.

"What the hell are we going to do?" Eddie asked. "Sniff around the classical music club?"

Roger shook his head, "That's useless at all."

"Why?" Eddie asked.

"There were so many people who heard the sound of the organ at the beginning, but in the end the so-called oath only chose Milton. Maybe the people who can talk to the oath have to go through some kind of screening." Roger guessed.

"The oath also needs to see clearly the bargaining chip of the trading partner?" Scott said, "Maybe Milton's musical talent is the best of that group."

"In this case, it seems that I can't do it."

Roger said very self-aware.

"Whether it's magic or Quidditch, my talents are not top-notch."

"Oh, don't be so modest, Roger," Eddie said with a sudden laugh. "You're absolutely top-notch at picking up girls."

Roger smirked back at him, "Thank you, Eddie, you're a top-notch gossip reporter too."

"It's a pity, the oath should not look down on our talent." Eddie said regretfully, looking at Scott.

Roger turned to look at him at the same time.

"It's up to you, Scott." The two said in unison.

"..."

Scott was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay, I'll try."

"Do not."

"just forget it."

Roger and Eddie stopped him again.

Eddie said worriedly: "What if the oath doesn't focus on your painting talent, but on your Transfiguration talent?"

"It's too dangerous." Roger also said, "Although Milton got a fairly fair deal, we can't guarantee that the oath will not force a deal."

Scott felt that there should be no possibility of a forced transaction.

"According to Professor Flitwick, that oath was made between Rowena Ravenclaw and someone," he reminded them.

Roger and Eddie also thought of this, and were immediately relieved a lot.

"Then go try it."

"It would be great if I could talk to Oath, and ask what price Milton's musical talent needs to pay in order to get it back."

Scott nodded.

"We can also ask those ghosts." He suggested, "They have lived in the castle for a long time, and they may know something."

He thought Lady Gray might know something, she was Ravenclaw's daughter after all.

Scott's proposal was approved by Roger and Eddie, and the three quickly divided the work on this matter.

Since Scott had talked to Ms. Gray and got her help, the task of asking her was still given to him.

Eddie, who is best at inquiring about news, is responsible for dealing with the most difficult blood man Barrow.

The ghosts of the other two houses are left to Roger, after all he has a Hufflepuff girlfriend to help.

Speaking of ghosts, Scott had an epiphany at some point.

"Have we not seen Peeves for a long time?" He asked Roger and Eddie with a subtle expression.

"Peeves?"

"real."

Roger and Eddie also reacted at the same time.

"It's not right," Scott said. "Peeves hasn't been in the castle for a long time, but no one seems to notice."

"If you didn't mention it suddenly, I would have forgotten the existence of Peeves." Eddie said with some horror.

Roger also widened his eyes, "Is there some kind of connection between these two things?"

Peeves is a mischievous imp who is said to have existed at Hogwarts since its inception.

He likes to create mischief and chaos, which has always caused headaches for the teachers and students of the school, especially the administrator.

Such a nasty person who often played pranks and caused chaos in the castle has disappeared for so long without a sound...

This makes Scott feel incredible when they think about it.

"I'll ask Fred and George about this." Scott said, "They are more familiar with Peeves."

That's the end of the night's conversation, but the three of Scott were a little surprised.

The next day, they acted separately according to the plan.

Before class in the morning, Scott walked into the library in the college common room at an unoccupied hour.

"Good morning, Ms. Gray."

He saluted Lady Gray, who was floating in front of a window.

"It's you?"

Ms. Gray turned her head, her eyes indifferent.

"What's the matter?" she asked coldly.
