Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 311 311. Dumbledore's question

Snape led Scott to the principal's office as quickly as possible.

They entered from the entrance on the third floor and took the automatically ascending stone steps to the eighth floor.

"Wait here obediently!"

Snape turned his head and glanced at Scott, pushed the door open and walked in, closing the door behind him quickly.

Scott looked at the closed wooden door in front of him, turned around and leaned against the railing beside the stone steps, and looked out of the castle through the glass window.

He guessed that Snape should be reporting the change of the Dark Mark to Dumbledore at this time.

As for why Scott was brought here?

Scott himself felt that Snape probably couldn't do anything about him-Snape couldn't really give Scott an Oblivion Curse, and he didn't want to explain the anomaly of the Dark Mark.

So he chose to throw Scott's troubles to Dumbledore to deal with.

The truth is about the same as he thought.

The office door quickly reopened, and Snape stepped out.

"Go in, Mr. Trollope."

His expression was not as angry as before, and he even gave Scott a very fake smirk.

But after saying this sentence, the Potions Professor directly boarded the sunken stone steps and left without looking back.

Scott sighed silently, took another deep breath, and then turned and walked into the principal's office.

Dumbledore was sitting behind his large desk at this time, and when he saw Scott, he had a kind smile on his face.

"Good afternoon, Professor Dumbledore." Scott greeted proactively.

"Good afternoon, Scott." Dumbledore beckoned to him, "Come and sit down, maybe we need to have a good talk."

Scott nodded and sat down on the stool in front of his desk.

"Want something to drink?"

Dumbledore reached out and snapped his fingers, and an empty porcelain cup appeared in front of Scott.

"Tea is fine, no sugar, thank you," Scott said.

"Oh, well, don't you like sugar?" Dumbledore said regretfully.

He snapped his fingers again, and steaming black tea appeared in the porcelain cup in front of Scott.

"Thank you." Scott took a sip from his teacup, "Yes, I don't like sweets very much."

"What a pity." Dumbledore also took a sip from his own cup and smacked his lips. "I'm going to share the delicious pile of cockroaches with you."

Scott smiled and said, "You'd better keep it for yourself."

"Alright." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Scott buried himself in his tea.

After a while, Dumbledore said with great interest: "It seems that you are not too curious about what happened to Severus."

Scott nodded, "Yes, Professor, I usually don't have much curiosity about other people's affairs."

"It's normal." Dumbledore said with a smile, "There are many Ravenclaw students like you."

Scott did not deny this, "Yes, we are not as enthusiastic as Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. For the relationship between people, we are more inclined to keep a distance."

"So do you think this is good or bad?" Dumbledore asked curiously, like he was really curious about it.

Scott thought for a while and replied: "For me, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Everyone has their own way of living, and you can choose the way you are most comfortable with."

"You are right, everyone is different." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Yes, everyone can choose their own way of life, of course, the premise is not to hurt others, right?"

Scott nodded again, "You're right."

Dumbledore seems to be in a good mood and has been acting cheerful.

He picked up his cup again, and took a sip of the black tea in his cup, which might have been extra thick due to the addition of too much sugar.

Then he said softly: "It seems that Severus' worries are unnecessary, and I don't need to say anything to you, do I?"

Scott nodded again, "Of course, I'll keep it a secret."

He paused, and then said: "Although in my perception, the magic power that suddenly appeared on Professor Snape's arm is very evil, but since you trust him, it naturally means that Professor Snape has no problem."

"Thank you for trusting me, Scott." Dumbledore said happily.

Scott laughed, "Most people in Hogwarts trust you, you are Dumbledore."

"You used the word 'mostly'." Dumbledore's tone became a little regretful, "It seems that I, the headmaster, haven't done enough."

For his stupid behavior, Scott just shrugged, "After all, education is a responsibility shared by both the school and the family."

"Oh! I feel so much better hearing you say that." Dumbledore became happy again.

Scott was about to leave when he suddenly asked, "So do you know what the abnormality on Severus' arm means?"

Scott was about to put down his teacup, but he paused when he heard this.

He really didn't expect the old headmaster to talk to him about this all of a sudden.

But it's not a good choice to pretend to be stupid in front of the old headmaster, so he replied directly, "It probably means the Dark Lord... Voldemort has regained some power, I guess."

"Yes, we all know that Voldemort didn't really disappear, he made Horcruxes." Dumbledore murmured, "He may come back at any time."

Scott gently put down his teacup and listened to what he was almost talking to himself.

Nor did Dumbledore ask how Scott had connected the anomaly in Snape's arm to Voldemort.

He asked Scott again in a curious tone, "I want to ask you, Scott, what do you think about this?"

Scott glanced at the old principal in surprise.

Dumbledore looked at him with encouraging eyes, "As an old man, I want to hear what young people think, especially smart young people like you."

Scott still chose to tell the truth: "Although Voldemort has regained some strength, what he should be most worried about now is Medea's desire for his soul."

"Oh? Ms. Slytherin?" Dumbledore seemed surprised that he mentioned the name.

But Scott can be sure that Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, knows Medea's need for Voldemort's soul.

Everything stems from the oath signed between Medea and Hogwarts Castle.

Before the real Ravenclaw disappeared, she communicated with Dumbledore, the current principal. The oath was signed by Ravenclaw on behalf of Hogwarts. At least she would give an explanation to future generations.

Scott didn't know why Dumbledore was discussing this with him, but he didn't object.

As it happens, the news that Voldemort has regained some of his powers can also be passed on to Medea.

He glanced at the wall next to him out of the corner of his eye, and at the same time replied to Dumbledore, "Yes, Ms. Ravenclaw told me about the oath signed by Medea and Hogwarts Castle."
