Chapter 381

"Dumbledore!"

Carlo's terrified voice sounded.

"Stop the curse!"

His first instinct is to rescue Tata, a petrified house-elf.

"Lulu will never let you save this bad elf!"

There was a scream, and a house elf familiar to Scott suddenly appeared in front of Tata, blocking Carlo's spell with his palm.

"All petrochemical!"

Scott waved his wand with some difficulty.

Although exhausted, he still seized the opportunity and accurately hit Carlo who was wearing the invisibility cloak.

After confirming that Carlo had been petrified by his spell, Scott finally relaxed, put his hands on his knees, and gasped with his mouth open.

"Are you all right, my dear Mr. Trollope!"

Lulu ran up to him and raised her head, looking at him worriedly.

"I'm fine...I'm just a little tired..." Scott gasped.

"Do you need any help?" Lulu turned around anxiously, "Let Lulu take you to the hospital!"

"no need."

At this moment, Scott finally caught his breath.

He straightened up, waved to Lulu, and turned to look in the direction of the main building of the castle.

Dumbledore, who was wearing pajamas and a nightcap, was walking quickly over there, and Professor Flitwick, who had also changed into pajamas, trotted behind him.

"Go take off his invisibility cloak, lulu." Scott pointed in the direction where Carlo was.

"Good! Good!"

Lulu bowed excitedly to Scott, turned around and ran to where Carlo was, waved his hand, and cast a spell to take off the invisibility cloak on Carlo.

"Ah."

Scott chuckled, walked in front of Carlo, and looked at the frightened eyes in his stiff body.

"Looking at it this way, I really had better luck," Scott said.

Carlo's eyes burst into intense hatred.

Scott smiled mockingly at him.

"Fool," he whispered, "you're dead..."

"Scott!"

At this time, Professor Flitwick had already run over Dumbledore.

"Are you okay?" He looked his student up and down.

"I'm fine, Professor." Scott let him look at him.

"It's good that you're fine!" Professor Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief, "When you left my place just now, your physical strength was almost at its limit!"

Scott pretended to be proud and smiled, "Don't worry, professor, even if my physical strength has bottomed out, it's not something that a guy like Carlo can sneak attack on."

Professor Flitwick also laughed, "Of course, I believe you."

"Sorry, Scott." Dumbledore walked over at this moment, "When I noticed the movement here, it was already time for Mr. Carlo to cast the Cruciatus Curse."

While he was speaking, his phoenix patron saint flew above his head, turning into silvery white smoke and reintegrating into his body.

Scott looked at this scene with some surprise.

Dumbledore smiled, "Oh, it seems that you are more interested in my Patronus Charm than listening to my sorry old man."

Professor Flitwick also looked up at Dumbledore, and at the same time praised him, "Albus, you use the Patronus Charm better than any wizard I have ever seen."

"It's just a few tricks."

Dumbledore said something to Professor Flitwick, and then said to Scott: "If you are interested, of course I can teach you, of course, after you can skillfully release the complete Patronus Charm."

"Thank you." Scott thanked quickly.

Although he hasn't released the full Patronus Charm yet, he believes that day is not far away.

"Now, let's deal with this matter." Dumbledore looked at Carlo, "Hello, Mr. Carlo, long time no see."

At this moment, Carlo's eyes were full of fear.

"It's not the first time you've done something like this, Mr Carrow!" said Professor Flitwick.

He was clearly angry.

"If I remember correctly, you once attacked Scott on the bridge with some Slytherins, and later with Yaxley in the Forbidden Forest! You've been expelled from Hogwarts, and I was lucky enough to escape from prison, I never thought I would dare to do this!"

"I'm also curious what Mr. Carrow's motivation is for doing this," said Dumbledore.

"Anyway, it won't be Scott's problem!" Professor Flitwick subconsciously defended his students.

"Of course, but we'd better ask." Dumbledore looked at Scott, "What do you think, Scott."

"I'm also a little curious about this question," Scott said. "Last time Carlo said that he attacked me because his cousin Caitlin Rolle hated me. Maybe it's the same reason this time."

"Then listen to what he has to say."

Dumbledore reached out and patted Carlo on the shoulder twice.

With the first blow, he lifted Carlo's petrification spell.

The second time, before Carlo could react, his body from the neck down became stiff again.

"Mr. Carrow, you need to answer my question," Dumbledore said to him. "Tell me, why are you doing this?"

Carlo kept his head down, not looking at Dumbledore.

He closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.

"It seems he doesn't want to answer your question." Scott looked at Carlo.

Hearing his voice, Carlo quickly raised his head, and spit out a red light from his mouth.

Scott, who had been prepared for a long time, turned his face sideways, just to avoid the attack.

"puff!"

Carlo, with a face full of hatred, spit out several bloody teeth and a bloody button at Scott.

Although the incident happened suddenly, these dirty things failed to contact Scott, but hovered in the air.

It was Professor Flitwick who made the move.

"Thank you, professor." Scott quickly thanked the professor.

Professor Flitwick waved his hand.

"I didn't expect you to hate me so much?" Scott looked at Carlo again, "Did I do anything to you?"

Carlo lowered his head again and remained silent.

Scott blinked, took out a bottle of potion and opened it as quickly as possible, squeezed Carlo's chin and gave him a few mouthfuls.

Scott looked at the drowsy Carlo, and said, "At this time, I choose to learn from Professor Snape."

"Oh..." Professor Flitwick was stunned by Scott's actions, "Oh, Scott, what did you feed him?"

Dumbledore said in a helpless tone: "Learn from Severus, it must be Veritaserum."

Professor Flitwick said nervously, "Oh! This is against the rules!"

He looked at Scott, then at Dumbledore.

"Oh never mind," he added, "there isn't a wizard here who is as disciplined as Minerva."

Scott shrugged at him, ready to ask Carlo.

"Are you sure you want to ask here?" said Dumbledore, "Go to my office."

While he was speaking, a beautiful song that seemed to soothe the soul came from the sky above their heads.

As if the sun was falling from the sky, the flying phoenix descended slowly with its long tail feathers, bringing light and warmth.

"We can use the power of the phoenix to be lazy and save the trouble of climbing stairs."

Dumbledore held out his hand, letting the phoenix rest on his arm, and at the same time gave Scott a slight wink.

Scott smiled, walked over and skillfully grabbed one of Phoenix's tail feathers.

The other tail feathers of the phoenix stretched out, actively wrapping around Professor Flitwick's and Carlo's wrists.

"Lulu, this house elf will be handed over to you to take care of it."

Dumbledore explained to Lulu, and asked Fenghuang to take a few people back to the principal's office.

Scott experienced weightlessness for one second, and was back on the ground the next.

Blinking his eyes and adapting to the bright light in the principal's office, he thanked Fenghuang and looked at Carlo, whose limbs were stiff and his head drooping.

"Tell me, Elijah Caro, why did you come to attack me?" he asked directly.

"Because Kaitlyn wants you to die." Carol, looking groggy, replied.

"Why?" Professor Flitwick asked in disbelief.

"Caitlyn wants to avenge the death of Jasmine Travers," Caro said.

"What kind of revenge is this!" Professor Flitwick said angrily, "This is completely implicating innocence! Miss Travers' death has nothing to do with Scott!"

Carlo said: "Who knows, I don't care about this. I don't care why Caitlin has any reason to avenge Trollope. I just know that she wants Trollope to die. I want to achieve her This is the proof that I love her."

"Absurd! This is extremely absurd!" cried Professor Flitwick.

Scott asked again, "How did you sneak into Hogwarts? And who told you that I would be out of shape due to dueling training tonight?"

Carlo answered his question honestly.

"I came in through a secret passage. People in our family have studied at Hogwarts for generations, so of course they will know a secret passage."

"Although the exit of the secret passage was blocked, I destroyed the stone blocking the exit of the secret passage with the help of Tata."

"Strielner told me about you."

"Strierner?" Scott said in surprise, "I didn't expect him to be thinking about Hogwarts after graduation."

"He has contacts with many Slytherin students. He said that he has channels to obtain the information he wants to know in the school." Caro said, "I don't know what channels."

Hearing such an answer, Scott was not satisfied.

But he was dissatisfied and there was nothing he could do. Carlo obviously didn't know anything about Strielner.

After thinking for a while, he asked Carlo again, "You said you came to attack me because of Caitlin Roll? In other words, she also knows what you did today? Where is she?"

"Caitlyn doesn't know," Carlo replied. "Caitlyn is dead."

"Dead? I remember it was a little girl!" Professor Flitwick was obviously very surprised. "How did she die?"

"It was me, I killed her," Carlo said.

Due to the effect of the medicine, he spoke terrifying words in a flat voice.

"What?" Professor Flitwick's voice sharpened.

"How is this going?"

Scott didn't pretend to be surprised, but asked the question calmly.

"Because she doesn't love me."

Carlo spoke slowly.

"Even if I attacked Trollope for her, was expelled from Hogwarts, and was imprisoned by the Ministry of Magic for a few months, even if I went to study with her in the distant Durmstrang."
