Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 277
"I can't believe that Millicent missed the start of this year."

"Why, don't you know? Something happened to the Burst family."

"An accident again? Or is it because of the inheritance of the Travers family?"

"That's right, Millicent's father was attacked and is now lying in the St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries. I don't know if he can be rescued."

"My dad said it wasn't Yaxley who did the attack, it was Foley who did it."

In the morning, Scott sat at the long table in the auditorium and ate breakfast slowly, listening to the whispers from several third-year Slytherin students.

Scott gets up early.

Before the other students arrived, he let a listening bat hang upside down under the Slytherin table.

Participating in the discussion at this point were Malfoy, his two hunky henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle, and his admirer, Parkinson.

The topic of their discussion was about their classmate Millicent Burst.

Scott remembered it as an aggressive, tall, muscular girl with a bit of a dominatrix appearance.

It doesn't matter what the girl looks like, the important thing is that her last name is Beth.

Yaxley, Burst, and Foley, three pure-blood families vying for the succession of the Travers family.

A summer vacation has passed, and now the relationship between these three families has become tense.

The competition between them is becoming more and more intense, and under the silent promotion of some small promoters, this competition around the right of inheritance seems to be gradually turning into a war.

Especially Yaxley, who has long been unable to participate in the succession struggle, they have already determined that Burster and Foley did those "shameless and vicious things".

Yaxley not only lost the competition, but also lost a "good young wizard", and now their purpose has changed to revenge on the two families.

Of course, Burst and Foley have been thoroughly pissed off by Yaxley, who is behaving like a mad dog.

The flames of war have further escalated, and the three families have recently begun to directly ambush and attack each other's family members.

The father of Millicent Burst, whom Malfoy and the others referred to, was also the owner of Burst.

Even the Patriarch of the Burst family is lying in the hospital with uncertain life or death, which shows that things have gradually gotten completely out of control.

These things unfolded beyond Scott's expectations, and Scott didn't do much in it other than guide the start of this rivalry in the first place.

After all, for most of the summer vacation, he could only use the phone to remotely command Rimbaud and the crows in Spain, and what he could do was very limited.

But Scott has no doubt that the Ministry of Magic and other pure-blood families have done things to fan the flames and add fuel to the flames.

For example, the little Malfoy who is talking about it now, his father, the old Malfoy, is an old and cunning guy, and the Malfoy family has always been good at fishing in troubled waters.

During this time, the crows lurking around the Ministry of Magic often saw old Malfoy going in and out of the office of Minister of Magic Fudge.

It is conceivable that the shrewd Malfoy must have contributed a lot in this matter.

Of course, the three families of Yaxley, Burst, and Foley were not that stupid.

Because Scott didn't know the territory of the Burst and Foley families, he didn't know how the two families would react.

But at least he knew the reaction of the Yaxley family.

Now some people in the Yaxley family have suspected that the Ministry of Magic is secretly playing tricks in this matter.

Especially old Yaxley who almost gave Scott a Killing Curse, a shrewd old fellow.

But there are some things that cannot be stopped once you realize something is wrong.

At least Patriarch Yaxley, who lost an excellent son, wants to take crazily revenge on Burst and Foley.

In short, the current situation is that the three families should have noticed something strange, but at the same time they are also a little bit stuck and unable to stop.

Things are getting more and more confusing.

"My father said that maybe Travers' inheritance will be taken back by the Ministry of Magic." Scott heard Malfoy say in a showy tone, "After all, there has been no real Travers in the world for a long time."

Two of his followers and admirers affirmed his statement again and again.

Parkinson also praised little Malfoy's insight and foresight in an overly sweet voice.

Scott was a little tired of hearing it.

"Good morning!"

"Mr. Ravenclaw Prefect!"

Two overly lively and cheerful voices broke Scott's thinking.

Fred and George greeted loudly from the door of the auditorium.

They happily ran into the auditorium, sat on both sides of Scott without seeing anyone, picked up the food on the long Ravenclaw table and started eating.

"Dear Mr. Prefect."

"Why don't you wear your shiny gold badge?"

The two continued to tease Scott while chewing.

"Look who this is?" Scott was not to be outdone, "Oh, it turns out that two rich men are here. Good morning, Mr. Weasley."

Fred blinked and quickly understood Scott's meaning, "You mean my dad winning the lottery?"

"Unfortunately, we are still poor." George shrugged, "Because the bonuses have been spent, our family went to Egypt during the summer vacation."

"Egypt? Did you follow Bill to adventure in the pyramid?" Scott immediately asked curiously.

Scott and Bill discussed their respective visions for the combination of Transfiguration and Rune's own spells through several letters. Bill's suggestions gave Scott a lot of inspiration and experience.

Because Bill, who is a Gringotts spellbreaker, often ventures into the interior of the pyramid to break spells for some unearthed ancient magic items, their correspondence is not frequent.

"We really want to go."

"But everyone, except us, opposed the decision, including Bill."

The twins said very regretfully.

George took out a crumpled letter from his pocket, "This is your letter, Bill asked me to give it to you."

"Thank you." Scott reached out to take it.

"Bill said he was very optimistic about your creativity and research, and was surprised at your progress." Fred said, "Here are some new discoveries of his."

"Of course, from inside the pyramid." George said mysteriously.

Scott squeezed the overly thick letter in his hand and laughed.

It seems that Bill's new discovery might surprise him?
Fred said to Scott again: "Mom was stunned when she heard that you could communicate with Bill to discuss magic. She thinks your excellence is beyond imagination!"

"Mom told us to learn from you." George curled his lips. "She thinks we got too few O's in our test scores last school year."

"After listening to her, we decided to carefully consider whether we should continue to be friends with you!"

"goodbye!"

The two of them grabbed the bread in front of Scott while talking, got up and ran away.
