Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 395
Scott looked at Luna, wondering about her options.

But after Luna thought about it, she asked Scott a question.

"What will you do?" She looked at him curiously, "I know you don't want me to tell others about you."

Scott was no longer surprised by her reaction.

He replied honestly, "I will sign a contract with you, and use the contract to bind you to keep it secret."

Luna didn't speak immediately after hearing the words, but stared at Scott for a while.

Then she nodded directly, "Okay, I promise to sign a contract with you."

A look of surprise appeared on Scott's face.

Luna asked lightly, "Are you surprised?"

"It was a bit of a surprise," Scott said.

A faint smile appeared on Luna's face again, with a little pride.

"The contract should be between both parties." She said briskly, "I can keep it a secret and not tell anyone about you, but you should also agree to my terms."

Scott raised his eyebrows, "Please tell me."

Luna said seriously: "My condition is that you will not lie to me."

Scott froze.

He asked in surprise: "You mean, if I don't tell you any more lies, you won't tell anyone about me, whether it's the past or the future?"

"Yeah!" Luna nodded affirmatively.

"I don't understand." Scott looked into Luna's eyes, "This is not a fair term, but it is in my favor."

Luna tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "Is there any relationship? You said that we are friends."

Scott asked softly, "But are you the type to pamper your friends?"

"I'm not," Luna said, "so I'll watch you."

Scott laughed, "However, this means that what I did in the past can only pass away, and you can't stop what I want to do in the future, and you can't even tell others."

Luna nodded again, "I know."

"I can't think of a reason why you would choose that," Scott said.

Luna lowered her head and said with some distress: "Because I know I can't stop you, and I don't want to see you locked up in Azkaban because of those things."

When she said this, she raised her head and looked at Scott again, and said in a very serious tone: "You said we are friends, I can see that what you said is serious."

Having said that, she stretched out her hand.

Scott felt her warm little hand hold the three fingers of his left hand.

Luna continued: "If you can't lie to me, I'll know all about you. If I can't stop you, I'll choose to get involved."

Scott looked at her serious expression and was touched in his heart.

He knew in his heart that although he did consider Luna as his friend, the attitude and devotion of the two towards their friends were not the same.

At this moment, looking at Luna's pure and bright eyes, he even felt a little ashamed.

At the same time, he also began to feel a little headache.

After a while, he spoke again.

At this time, his voice was a little hoarse, "Do you think that when you become my accomplice, I will have some scruples? Luna, I always thought you were a smart girl."

Luna tightened the hand holding Scott's finger, and smiled again, with some slyness.

"You said that we are friends." She said stubbornly, "I don't think I did anything unwise."

Scott frowned, and had already begun to consider whether to agree to Luna's contract conditions.

Because he really couldn't bear to let such a little girl get involved in his affairs.

Luna seemed to see his hesitation, and said hastily, "Since we have made an agreement, we cannot go back on our word."

She still looked directly into Scott's eyes, "I'm already prepared, and I grabbed your hand, you can't sneak attack me, let me sign the contract."

"Okay." Scott said helplessly, "I admit defeat."

So Luna laughed again.

Of course, it is not impossible for Scott to force Luna to sign the contract, but he is still a normal person after all.

When faced with malice, he can retaliate fiercely, and even add more food.But in the face of kindness, he couldn't return it with malice.

Especially in the face of such a friendship and care without any impurities, he obeyed his own will and compromised.

"Then let's get started."

Luna let go of his hand and looked at him expectantly.

Scott produced a piece of parchment from the shapeshifting lizard pouch at his waist, and then his wand.

He waved his wand, and words slowly emerged on the parchment.

When the content of the contract completely surfaced on the parchment, he used his magic wand to draw several golden, glittering complex patterns on the paper.

When the pattern disappeared, Scott let go of his hand, the parchment floated in the air, and the contract was completed.

He said to Luna: "Next, as long as we sign the paper with magic power, this contract will take effect."

"I'll come first." Luna directly raised her wand.

"Not thinking about it anymore?" Scott asked.

Luna waved her wand directly, using magic power to leave her sparkling name in the air.

[Luna Lovegood]
Seeing her name flying and quickly attached to the parchment, Luna turned to look at Scott again.

Scott waved his wand too.

[Scott Trollope]
Two gleaming names appeared on the parchment.

As the names of the two also faded from the light and turned black, it represented that the contract had officially come into force.

Luna reached out to take off the parchment, carefully rolled it up, and put it in her pocket.

She jumped down from the flower bed and looked up at Scott.

"I'll take care of it," she said.

Scott shrugged. "I have no problem."

Luna put the parchment away, bounced and walked a few steps, then turned to face Scott again.

"Now, it's your turn to answer my question," she said. "You can't lie."

Scott reminded her, "Although I can't lie, I can choose not to answer."

"It's okay." Luna didn't care.

She pointed to her eyes, "Even if you don't answer, the little guy living in my eyes will tell me the answer."

She blinked again, "Although it's blurry."

Scott put his wand in the wand holster fastened to the lining of his robes. "Okay, what do you want to ask?"

Luna restrained the expression on her face, looking a little serious, "It's about the newspaper, I want to know why you did that."

"I told you," Scott replied, "They all tried to kill me."

"I want to know the details." Luna emphasized.

Scott asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Luna nodded.

Now that Luna has signed the contract, Scott has no scruples.

"The origin of the matter starts with Jacob, who is at the same level as you..."

Because Jacob's misfortune involved Jasmine Travers.

The girl developed ill-will towards Scott and even joined with the house-elf in trying to murder him.

And because of the death of Jasmine Travers, Caitlin Rolle hated him.

Later, because the Yaxley family wanted to represent Travers' property, they promised Jasmine Travers' father to take Scott's life.

As for Elijah Caro, his malice toward Scott stems purely from Caitlin Rohr.

Luna listened to Scott's narration and never interrupted him.

It's just that her expression became ignorant again, and mist gathered in her eyes.

Scott already understood that it was a stress response when she didn't know how to deal with it.

But he didn't choose to avoid answering, nor did he hide his murderous behavior all the time.

He thought that Luna should feel scared and stay away from him.

In this way, she would not be able to tell anyone about him, nor would she take the initiative to meddle in his affairs.

It was the best outcome Scott could have come up with.

In short, Scott almost fully described all his experiences in the past two years.

He didn't stop talking until the moon rose high in the sky, and looked at Luna calmly.

Luna's thin body was trembling slightly, her expression was in a trance, and she seemed to be wandering away.

Scott didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Luna finally came to her senses.

The smoke cleared from her eyes, her eyes refocused, and she looked at Scott.

Scott still looked at her calmly.

"It's tiring." Luna said softly.

When Scott heard this, he instantly felt that the expression on his face became a little stiff uncontrollably.

Luna still looked at him seriously.

"Would you have been happier if you had made different choices at first?" she asked.

Scott thought for a while, but still shook his head stiffly.

"I don't know," he replied.

He also didn't know what would have happened if he hadn't killed Jasmine Travers.

Maybe it will save a lot of trouble, just like Luna said, live a better life.

There might be more trouble, because Jasmine Travers, though only a little girl, is also a wicked, eccentric and paranoid witch.

Of course the clever Luna can also think of this.

"I don't agree with your choice, Scott, what you're doing looks like an overreaction to me," she said, "but, who can say that only my thinking is correct. Can’t be sure about that either.”

Listening to her words, Scott laughed, "Of course you can choose to live according to your own ideas."

Luna asked, "So, can you stick to your own ideas?"

"That's what I've always done," Scott said.

Luna nodded, "Me too."

When the two said this, Luna first smiled again, but quickly realized it.

"I was almost convinced by you, Scott." She looked up into Scott's eyes, "but my dad once told me that we shouldn't only see the hurt and pain in our eyes, let alone take it lightly. Touch the hate."

Scott asked her, "Do you think I only see the bad things?"

Luna shook her head, "No, I can see that there is always love in your heart."

Scott said: "The difference between us is that your tolerance and love can be given to most people, but my tolerance and love can only be given to a very few people."

I didn't expect that I could put "small-minded" in such a fresh and refined way...

He thought to himself at the same time.

Luna seemed convinced by him again.

"What's wrong with that," she said, "I'm the same, I don't love anyone more than I love my parents."

After speaking, she suddenly shook her head.

"Oh... I can't figure it out, and I don't know how to tell you my thoughts." Her tone became erratic again, "I decided to talk to you after I have thought through those things thoroughly."

With that said, she turned around and left in a daze.

Scott stood there without moving, just watching her back disappear into the flowers.

After a while, Scott was ready to leave the garden in the other direction.

Passing by several couples hiding in the garden for a date, Scott met Graplan at the exit of the garden.

This time she wasn't taking the Thestrals for a walk, but Hagrid's hound Fang on a leash.

"Good evening, Scott."

While speaking, Graplan was still puffing and whimpering, seeming to want to stay away from her.

"Good evening, Miss Graplan."

Scott stopped in his tracks.

Graplan's full red lips curled up. "Is there anything you want to ask me, boy?"

Scott looked at her confident look, but didn't want to make her complacent.

"No." He shook his head directly.

Graplan just glanced at her.

"It's okay." She said with a smile, "If you have any questions, you are welcome to come to me anytime."

"Really?" Scott laughed too.

"Of course." Graplan nodded.

Scott took a step forward, knelt down and stroked the rough hair on Fang Ya's head.

"Although Fang looks very vicious." He said in a rambling manner, "But according to Professor Hagrid, it is actually a useless coward."

Graplan coughed suddenly, as if choking on her sage smoke.

She coughed for a long time before asking in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing."

Scott rubbed Fang's head again, and stood up.

He smiled and looked at Graplan, "I just remembered after seeing Fang Fang, and said a few nonsense."

"Really?" The smile on Graplan's face became a little forced.

"Of course," Scott responded.

Graplan spoke again, "Mr. B..."

Scott put his finger in front of his lips, silencing her with a hushed gesture.

"Hush." ​​He still smiled, "I've already met Mr. B."

Graplan blurted out in astonishment: "Impossible, you don't know who Mr. B is."

Scott said flatly: "Mr. B is not the only one in the Scholars Union."

"You..." Graplan stared at Scott suspiciously, "Who did you contact?"

"This is none of your business, Miss Graplan." Scott began to pose.

Graplan looked at him for a moment, then said firmly, "No, you're lying."

Scott laughed silently.

Graplan regained his composure.

"You are just an underage wizard. Without Mr. B's guarantee, I would not be able to recruit you to join the Scholar's Union."

"Except for Mr. B and me, no one else in the Scholars Union has noticed you, an underage wizard, so you can't get in touch with those people now."

Scott blinked.

"Thank you," he said gratefully. "Thank you for giving me two important pieces of information."

"What?" A look of astonishment appeared on Graplan's face again.

Is this lady really a Ravenclaw graduate?

Scott was skeptical.

He raised a finger.

"First, when I said that I met Mr. B, your objection was very interesting."

Graplan's complexion changed again.

Scott wiggled the finger.

"What does it mean for you to blurt out that I don't know who Mr. B is, without saying that it is impossible for me to meet him?"

"This shows that in your subconscious mind, I do have a chance to meet Mr. B."

A remorseful expression appeared on Graplan's face.

Scott went on: "I think I did meet Mr. B, on Friday, during my trip to the Ministry for that trial, didn't I?"

"So what?" Graplan managed to calm down, "You must have met a lot of people at the Ministry of Magic that day."

"Indeed." Scott nodded without further explanation.

Although he met many people, there were very few suspects.

Especially with such a coincidence of name, there is only one.

Just now he thought about whether to directly say the name of Mr. Bird to swindle Graplan, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.

Because doing so has the possibility of alerting the snake.

At this time, he saw that Graplan was relieved.

She had probably decided that Scott had no way of finding the real Mr. B.

Scott smiled again and held out a second finger.

"I need to thank you for the second point, Miss Graplan."

Graplan frowned again upon hearing this.

Scott said: "Second, it seems that you didn't tell me all the procedures after joining the Scholars Union."

"As my guarantor, Mr. B's [Book of Prometheus] and [Knowledge Bank] have higher authority than me. He can even restrict my communication with other people in the alliance, right?"

This time Graplan showed no further embarrassment.

"That's right." She admitted directly, "I thought you had discovered it but didn't say it. I didn't expect that you didn't discover it at all. This kid has never tried to contact others!"

Scott shrugged.

He really didn't try to contact others, or in other words, he didn't want to have a deep connection with the somewhat strange association of the Scholars Union.

At this time, Graplan obviously didn't want to say anything more to Scott.

"If you want to get more in the Scholar's Union, please take the initiative to contact Mr. B." She said, "If he is satisfied with you, your [Book of Prometheus] can get more permissions."

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand casually, and left with the whining Yaya.

Scott also returned to the Ravenclaw common room to work on his paper.

He saw Luna again in the college library, but the girl was holding a huge book and reading it seriously, and she had no intention of communicating with him for the time being.

After finishing the paper as quickly as possible, Scott came to the common room.

He found that many people, including Eddie and Roger, were gathered in the common room, still discussing the blockbuster news published in the Evening Prophet.

Regarding the discussion of this matter, these Ravenclaw students have now divided into several factions.

Some people insist that this incident is the revenge of the Rolle family, some people think that the murderer is other dark wizards who like to kill and create panic, and some people think that the murderer is other prisoners of Azkaban, and some even say it is a dementor. dry.

Scott also sat down and listened for a while.

"Scott."

It didn't take long for Eddie, who was arguing very vigorously with others, to find him.

"What do you say?"

He winks at Scott, trying to get Scott to agree with him.

Scott shook his head, "Let's wait for the results of the investigation by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic."

No one agreed with his words.

It seems that everyone has been disappointed with the Auror's investigative ability.

"What's the use of those Aurors?"

"There have been many cases in a row and the truth has not been found out!"

"I've given up hope for them."

"Originally, I planned to become an Auror after graduation, but now I have changed my mind."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Scott suddenly thought that it seemed that he was responsible for several unsolved cases in the past two years.

So he said sorry to the Aurors in his heart.

Eddie and Roger were still talking about it that night until bedtime.

After a day of intense study, Scott and Milton, who had come back from piano practice in the music room, were both tired, and they just listened silently to their heated discussion.

Whether it was because he felt Scott and Milton were not involved, Eddie quickly changed the subject.

He said in a somewhat deliberate tone: "Those two followers of Elijacarlo are having a hard time now. They are the two guys who used to ambush Scott on the elevated stone bridge with him."

Hearing him mention the two Slytherins whose names he didn't know made Scott a little interested.

After all, they were all knocked down by him once, and they still feel a little nostalgic when they think about it.

So he spoke up and asked, "What happened to them?"

"Their relationship with Carlo is so good, oh, just like Malfoy's two big men." Eddie said enthusiastically, "When the news that Carlo killed Rolle reached Slytherin, Slytherin Everyone in Leitlin alienated them."

Milton asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with them?"

Eddie said, "I don't think it matters, either, but those Slytherins don't think so."

Before Scott and the others asked, he explained: "Although Caitlin Rolle was once a Ravenclaw, she is also a pure-blood, not only Carol's cousin but also has a marriage contract with him."

"I know that Carlo, who attacked his relatives and fiancee, committed a heinous crime." Roger said indifferently, "But it has nothing to do with those two former followers."

Eddie said angrily: "In short, those Slytherins isolated those two guys because of this incident!"
