Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 378
Before falling asleep, Scott, who was lying under the blanket, held the golden card between his fingers, and a lingering sense of absurdity filled his heart.

After time travel, there will really be a "system", he thought a little funny, the Internet literature is not deceiving.

He looked at the cards in his hand.

It's just that this "system" scholar alliance has only one person, and there is nothing beyond the norm to exchange for, and it seems that some of them can't be put on the table.

Thinking of this, Scott sighed silently.

Sure enough, no matter how I restrain my heart, the emotion called "slack" will still come out from time to time.

He didn't expect such an unrealistic fantasy to appear in his heart——

Imagine yourself like the time-traveling protagonists in the online literature I have seen in my previous life, with a system that only needs to sign in and draw a card to become invincible in the world.

This kind of thinking cannot exist.

Scott quickly calmed down and no longer had such joking thoughts.

He really understood that he was just a reincarnation, not a protagonist, and he didn't have any powerful golden fingers.

In this real world, all he can rely on is his fairly good talent and his hard-working studies.

Everything else is just icing on the cake.

It’s like the [Book of Prometheus] connected to the [Knowledge Bank]. Although it looks a lot like a “system” or a “cheat finger”, in the final analysis, it’s just a system built by wizards more than 100 years ago. A magic device is a tool.

Tools can only provide him with some convenience at best, and cannot replace any effort.

He must not have any dependence on it, and he must not let his heart breed greed and slack.

Thinking about this in his mind, Scott slowly fell asleep after being vigilant to himself several times.

Having slept so late, Scott and his roommates walked into the auditorium at breakfast the next morning yawning and slumped.

But they didn't forget to give Fred and George a teasing grin on the Gryffindor side.

"Good morning."

After taking his seat, Scott greeted Dylan and Kayla, a couple sitting across the long table, with sleepy eyes.

"Good morning, what's the matter with you, didn't you sleep well?" Dylan looked at the four of them and couldn't help asking curiously.

"Going to bed too late." Scott found out a box of instant coffee pods and made himself a cup.

"Oh, Scott." Kayla said with a smile, "Look at the children in the lower grades, you are a respected prefect."

Scott glanced across the long table as he handed out instant coffee packets to his roommates.

Many lower grade students who had been secretly observing him just now looked away.

"Fortunately, you, the female class leader, are here." Scott took a sip of coffee and smiled at Keira, "I'm not a good role model."

"Yes, you have been a prefect for almost a year, Scott. But you have never been in charge of the discipline of the college, nor have you taken care of the children in the lower grades." Keira said bluntly.

"Hmm..." Scott thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Thinking about it carefully, the only thing he has done to qualify as a prefect after becoming a prefect is to patrol the carriages on the cashback train.

Think about it this way...

"I'm really incompetent," he said.

"It's good that you know," Kayla said.

Scott nodded again and began eating.

"Hey, shouldn't you take the initiative to do something?" Keira said with some dissatisfaction.

Scott looked up and gave her a puzzled look.

Although Scott hadn't been fulfilling his prefect duties, he knew Kayla had been doing well.Today she suddenly said this, obviously not because she wanted to complain.

Keira explained the reason, "This Saturday night, there is a reading activity in the college library in the common room, and you must participate."

"What kind of event is this?" Scott heard for the first time that there was such an event in Ravenclaw.

At this moment, Penello, the female prefect of the seventh grade, came over.

"I organized the event," she said.

"Please." Scott gestured for her to introduce.

Penello sat down beside Keira and said to Scott: "This semester is about to end, and the exam week is coming. This event is held to help everyone review better."

"Are you joking?" Eddie, who was sitting next to Scott, said in surprise, "It's only the beginning of April, and the exam week is the first week of June!"

Penello looked at Eddie with a smile on his face, "What's the matter? Is it still far from the first week of June?"

"It's...not very far." Eddie flinched immediately.

"You must come to the event." Penello said to Scott again, "Many children in Ravenclaw are looking forward to communicating with you up close."

Keira nodded in agreement, "Especially the children in the first grade, they have all heard about your deeds, and many children admire you very much."

Scott asked Penello with some doubts, "Is the reading activity long-term? Until before the exam?"

Penello nodded, "The time before the exam, once a week."

"If I remember correctly, seventh graders are doing NEWTs today, and fifth graders are doing OWLs," Scott said.

"Don't worry, it won't take up so much of your time, busy people." Penello said, "But you have to participate in the first event this week."

"Well, in that case, I'll go." Scott agreed to her request.

He thought for a while, and he was indeed not very competent as a prefect, so this time he should take it as fulfilling his duties.

"Very good." Penello smiled.

At this time, Eddie deliberately asked her again, "Are you going to take care of the child? Don't you worry about affecting your own exam?"

"I'm fairly confident in my exam." Penello smiled slightly. "Besides, I'm about to graduate, so let's think of it as the last meaningful thing I'm doing before leaving the academy."

With that said, she stood up.

"After all, I don't have the talent to make college promotional videos like you, so I can only do such trivial things."

After saying this, she shook her long hair and turned to leave.

After a full day of classes for the day, Scott went to the Room of Requirement after dinner to show his [Book of Prometheus] to the Ravenclaw tutor in the painting.

"Interesting design, worthy of being a master alchemist who successfully refined the Philosopher's Stone."

The Ravenclaw in the painting is really interested in the book remotely connected to the [Knowledge Bank] in Scott's hands, especially the alchemy part contained in it.

She said in a somewhat regretful tone: "It's a pity that I can't get started to experience it now."

"I have a way," Scott told her.

He exchanged 480 credits for a rare ancient magic recorded in the book in the outer study room, and then exchanged 1 credit for Nicolas May's "Knowledge Bank Core (Alchemy Part) Construction Record".

The exchanged knowledge can be viewed in the book page by clicking on it.

Nicolas May's "Construction Record" does not contain much content, and it only occupies more than a dozen pages of the book after unfolding.

But just as Scott expected, he really couldn't understand most of them.

Even the part that can be understood cannot be operated.

The pinnacle work of a pinnacle alchemy master cannot be easily understood by a half-baked apprentice like him.

Scott just copied the original content on the parchment, and then showed it to Ravenclaw in the painting.

This is where his advantage lies.

It doesn't matter if he can't read it, as long as the Ravenclaw in the painting can understand it.

As long as the mentor understands this knowledge, he can teach him this apprentice.

Scott let the parchments float in front of Ravenclaw's portrait, and ran to Helena's study to start pulling wool.

A complete unrecorded ancient magic-related knowledge can be exchanged for about 500 points, and Scott feels that he is about to make a fortune.

But the process of exchanging credits is not as easy as he imagined.

Because [Knowledge Bank] has a rigid rule, the knowledge to redeem credits needs to be handwritten on [Book of Prometheus].

It is said to be for "respect for knowledge".

[Especially the knowledge that is not researched by yourself, you should write them down one by one with a devout heart for knowledge. ]
Scott received such a warning when he tried to cheat with props such as the auto-scribing quill.

Until the curfew time, Scott, who copied seriously for 4 hours, earned a total of 1367 points.

The girl Helena, who was sitting in the painting on the wall and looking at him, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Their rules are so rigid, what's the point of doing that?" she said. "I think you've wasted four hours of study time, which is precious to you these days."

Scott agrees.

He exchanged a piece of Animagus-related knowledge that is useful to him at this stage, and the credits are almost spent.

He copied the knowledge on parchment, and instantly turned the book into a card.

It was indeed a waste of time, he decided not to rush to redeem the credits, but to wait until it was necessary.

He didn't even look at other [knowledge] content and [item] content that credits can be exchanged for.

He already has his own goal of learning and progressing at this stage.

He can use tools like the [knowledge bank] to speed up the pace and shorten the time to reach his goals, but he should try to avoid letting other things disrupt his pace.

After figuring this out, and the novelty faded, he began to treat [The Book of Prometheus] with a normal heart.

After leaving the Room of Requirement, Scott encounters a ghostly Harry in the hallway leading to the stairs.

Scott was taken aback when he saw him.

After not paying attention for a while, this kid looks a lot haggard.

"Good evening, Harry." Scott greeted him proactively, "What's the matter? You don't look well."

Scott didn't go to watch the Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor the week before, but only heard that the Ravenclaw college team won the game, and Harry didn't play well throughout.

But he didn't expect that Harry's condition looked so bad.

"Good evening, Scott." Harry said weakly, "Oh I don't want to sleep every day now."

"What happened?" Scott asked him.

"You know." Harry leaned against the stone wall of the corridor, rubbing his forehead with his hands, "I always dream about Voldemort during this time."

Scott glanced at his somewhat pale face, "What did you dream about?"

"A lot, messy." Harry frowned, "He... that demon, although he still hasn't recovered his strength, he planned many attacks, which are the ones reported in the newspapers, of course, there are some None reported."

"Did Dumbledore know about this?" Scott asked again.

Recently, he has been affected by the prophecy, and he has paid less attention to other things, and he has not "listened" to the "report" of the Harry doll he gave to Harry.

He hadn't known that recent events outside the school had affected Harry so much.

Harry said a little unhappy: "I told him, he asked me to learn a kind of Occlumency. He wanted Snape to teach me, but I refused."

"It's really a good idea to learn Occlumency," Scott said. "You have to learn to prevent anyone from hacking your brain."

But Harry was obviously a little irritable, "Yeah, it's a good idea, but only if Snape is not the one in charge of teaching! Everyone knows that the student he hates the most is me! Of course, I don't like him either."

In fact, Scott also felt that it was not a good idea to put Snape in charge of teaching Harry Occlumency.

Learning Occlumency requires emptying the brain and controlling emotions. Harry, facing Snape, should not be able to calm down under Snape's usual cynicism. He is probably used to confronting that potions professor.

He said to Harry: "But you can't go on like this, this incident has affected you too much. Now you can see his actions in your dreams, and maybe in the future he will also be able to read your brain through this connection." memory."

Harry immediately showed an expression of extreme disgust when he heard this.

"I want Professor Lupine to teach me, but Professor Lupine says he's not good at that magic either." He said, "I'm going to have my godfather teach me during the summer... By the way, do you know Occlumency? ?”

He looked up at Scott expectantly.

"I would," Scott said, "but I taught myself from books in the school library, so I wasn't proficient."

"Can you..." Harry wanted to ask Scott for help, but he was a little embarrassed and couldn't speak.

"I can lend you my notebook." Scott offered to say, "In addition to extracting knowledge from books, the notebook also contains some of my experience."

"Thank you." Harry looked disappointed.

"Because my level in this area is limited, even if I teach you personally, I can't say anything more than the experience recorded in the notebook."

Scott reached out and patted his shoulder.

"The notebook is in the bedroom, and I will give it to you at breakfast tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he waved his hand, turned and walked down the stairs.

"Goodbye," Harry said softly behind him.

"Goodbye." Scott replied.

He wasn't lying to Harry.

Although it was partly because he didn't have time to teach Harry Occlumency himself, it was more because he really couldn't teach anything at his level.
