Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 415 415. Milton's Recital

As Scott expected, Professor Flitwick did not refuse Milton's invitation.

This morning they received a letter from an owl.

The letter was sent by Professor Flitwick after he came to Austria from England.

After receiving the letter, the three of them hurried out and met the professor in an old bar located deep in a remote street in the old city.

Of course, this is a wizarding pub.

It was following the guidance of this letter that Scott and the others finally found the traces of magic hidden in this city.

"professor!"

"Professor Flitwick!"

"Oh, my students, hello!"

It was obvious that they hadn't been separated for too long, but the teachers and students seemed to feel that they were very kind to each other when they met in this strange country.

The three boys even bent down to give Professor Flitwick three warm hugs.

Their meeting even caused other Austrian wizards in the bar to watch.

I don't know if it's because of shyness or excitement, but Professor Flitwick's face is a little red anyway.

"Oh, I'm very honored and proud." After the hug, the professor said to Milton with a gratified face, "I asked the local wizards to know how great your achievements are."

He didn't even forget Scott and Roger.

"Of course, I am also pleased with your sincere attitude towards friendship."

Scott and the three of them laughed, and Milton blushed.

Roger smiled and said, "Oh, that boy Eddie would like to come too, but unfortunately he is in the United States now."

"Of course, he is also a good boy." Professor Flitwick praised Eddie again, although he couldn't hear it now.

Some things are inconvenient to say after leaving this bar belonging to wizards, so they chose to sit here for a while and chat.

Professor Flitwick talked about his experience abroad.

He had entered the country through official channels from the Ministry of Magic.

"You entered the country through Muggle traffic. After the concert is over, it would be better for me to take you to the local Ministry of Magic to formally register, especially Milton."

Professor Flitwick suggested.

"You should stay here all this holiday, and you will be safer after registering with the magic government."

He also asked Scott and Roger to go too.

"This will let them confirm our politeness and friendliness. It is always inappropriate for wizards to enter another country rashly."

Scott and Roger didn't have such thinking at all, but they agreed after looking at each other.

Professor Flitwick also happily recommended the city where the Austrian Ministry of Magic was located.

"I came here from the local area through the Floo network..."

Through the professor's description, Scott and the others quickly became interested in that city.

According to Professor Flitwick, the Austrian Ministry of Magic is located in Innsbruck, a small southwest city more than 400 kilometers away from Vienna.

It is a small snow-covered city in the embrace of the Alps Mountains, and the medieval buildings in the glacier valley are unique and beautiful.

But Scott remembered something else.

"Speaking of which, I have never registered with the Spanish Ministry of Magic. I even went shopping on Wizard Street in Barcelona this holiday."

"Oh, I forgot to remind you of this before. But I think it is necessary for you to register officially, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Professor Flitwick said, "Your parents have settled in Madrid, haven't they?"

Scott nodded, "I will when I go back this time."

After that, Professor Flitwick focused on Milton and talked about his recital. After all, the professor is also a music lover.

It's a pity that Milton didn't have much time, and he had to leave soon to prepare for the evening concert.

This made him a little uneasy, and he kept apologizing to Professor Flitwick.

Professor Flitwick has been cheerful and tolerantly urged him to leave first.

Afterwards, Scott and Roger accompanied their dean to sightseeing in the city.

When leaving the wizarding pub, Professor Flitwick did not use a spell to reduce his presence as he did in England, and even made the Muggles ignore him.

He used a little body morphing, changing the somewhat pointy ears and nose.

Even so, when walking on the street, the professor, who is unusually tall, still frequently attracts the curious eyes of passers-by.

Professor Flitwick was perfectly at ease about this.

While sightseeing, he also taught the experience of going abroad to the two students who accompanied him.

"I don't want to use other magic in this strange country, because it may arouse the vigilance and misunderstanding of the local wizards, and cause some unnecessary troubles..."

In addition, he also talked about many other considerations, such as how to deal with the Ministry of Magic of other countries.

It was like a lively and interesting extra-curricular practical class, and both Scott and Roger listened with gusto.

They walked around the Old Town of Vienna almost all day, and they didn't return to Milton's apartment until after dinner.

Afterwards, they all changed into formal attire and went out to rent a car to the venue where the concert was held.

Milton's new teacher seems to have a lot of face, and the venue for this recital is actually held inside the Vienna University of Music.

When Scott and the others entered the arena, the not too big concert hall was already filled with many young musicians.

After the three sat down, they first opened the playlist in their hands and looked at it.

Afterwards, Roger, who had listened to the whispers of the others for a while, lowered his voice to Scott and Professor Flitwick.

"They were all curious about Milton and why he was being recognized in such a way by a famous musician."

"They will soon understand." Professor Flitwick said proudly. "I always knew that Milton was an out-and-out genius."

At this moment, Scott frowned suddenly.

"A wizard has come in." He reminded in a low voice.

At the same time he counted the amount he perceived.

"There are three wizards in total."

"Where is it?" Roger looked eager to see but didn't dare to turn his head.

"Relax." Professor Flitwick clapped his hands. "Maybe they're just music lovers, too."

"There are two strange magic powers, but the other one is Mr. Graves." Scott said in surprise, "Milton's father."

After saying this, he noticed from the corner of his eyes that Professor Flitwick and Roger opened their eyes slightly at the same time.

As people who understood Graves' family strife, they were all as surprised as Scott was.

Scott pretended to glance back inadvertently, but he exchanged glances with a man who looked strange.

Although his appearance had changed, he was sure that it was Mr. Graves.

He seems to have altered his appearance with Polyjuice Potion or something.

Moreover, Mr. Graves obviously saw Scott and the others, and even happened to be looking at their backs.

It's just that when the two looked at each other just now, Mr. Graves didn't respond at all, as if he saw a stranger.

Scott also retracted his gaze in coordination.

But at this time, his mood was not calm, and he could even be said to be extremely surprised.

The reason was not Mr. Graves in disguise, but the affectionate lady sitting next to him.

Scott was sure it wasn't Mrs. Zabini, Graves' current wife, because there was no magic in this lady's body, she was a Muggle.

This cognition reminded Scott of another person, and that was Milton's mother.

How is this going?

Or, if the woman is really Milton's mother, what the hell are the couple up to?

If this is true, wouldn't Milton's dedication and tears all the time become a complete joke?

Even Scott would feel worthless for him!
You know, Milton also said before that he wanted to be famous because he wanted his mother to see his name no matter where he was.

"What's wrong with you?" Roger touched Scott with his elbow, "Your face is ugly."

"I'll talk to you later."

Scott first replied to him, and then wrote a word on Professor Flitwick's hand with his finger.

Professor Flitwick raised his fingers knowingly, and silently cast a spell.

Only then did Scott come closer to his ear, and told about his discoveries and guesses.

"Don't react, Scott, your guess may not be right." Professor Flitwick said calmly, "Of course, after Milton finishes his recital successfully, I will go and talk to Grevy. Talk to Mr.

It seems that it can only be so.

Scott also looked forward to the smooth completion of Milton's first recital in his life.

He nodded, agreeing with the professor's statement.

Professor Flitwick moved his fingers again, removing the spell.

Although Roger on the side looked at Scott curiously, he was smart enough not to ask any more questions.

Not long after, the concert began.

Without any extra introduction, Milton in formal attire walked onto the stage alone.

He bowed to the audience, sat down, and began to play.

The deep cello sounded, and the melodious timbre instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It's Ravenclaw Impressions.

Scott felt that maybe he didn't react too much because he was too familiar, but he clearly saw the surprised expressions with admiration on the faces of many people at the scene.

Milton's performance was a blockbuster.

Scott quickly withdrew his thoughts, and then immersed himself in the familiar music.

After the song was over, the concert hall burst into applause immediately.

Milton on the stage opened his eyes, and seemed a little surprised and a little bit at a loss after seeing such a reaction.

But under the encouraging eyes of everyone, a smile appeared on his face.

He stood up, bowed, and sat down again to play the second piece.

Scott sitting under the stage also smiled.

Now, he thought, no one would wonder why the famous musician admired Milton.

It's all because the boy on the stage who looks a little thin and immature is an out-and-out genius, and that's the only reason.

His performance is so deeply rooted in people's hearts, not to mention his creative talent is also unquestionable.

Milton played one after another, and after each piece, there was applause in the concert hall, and the applause was even more enthusiastic every time.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because of the presence of musicians, Milton's devilish voices that surpassed ordinary people's understanding did not appear in this recital.

At the same time, the uneasiness and bewilderment on Milton's face have completely disappeared, and he has been completely immersed in his own music world.

He is playing a piece called "Secret Motherly Love".

The sound of the cello is like weeping and complaining.

Anxiety, nostalgia, gratitude, longing, and love.

Milton completely opened his heart through music, and the audience was all moved.

But perhaps because of the things in his heart, Scott couldn't fully appreciate it.

He turned his head inadvertently again, looking at Mr. Graves.

Mr. Graves, who had an unfamiliar face on his face, was still sitting upright, and there seemed to be no expression on his face.

But the lady sitting next to him was trembling at the moment, with tears streaming down her face.

Scott looked away, feeling a sore nose at the same time.

He was a little stunned. Before that, he never knew that he had such a moment of empathy.

Maybe this is the charm of music, he thought.

Blinking, Scott suppressed his surging emotions.

Looking at Milton who closed his eyes and immersed himself in the performance under the light again, Scott's emotions were particularly complicated.

No matter what the couple's reasons were, he thought they must have chosen the wrong way.

Scott didn't even know what to do with it.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's housework, but Milton was his friend. If the Graves didn't want to tell the truth, wouldn't he just watch Milton being kept in the dark?

No matter what you do, it seems to be cruel to Milton.

Scott, who has always been decisive, is rarely caught in a dilemma.

Just then, Professor Flitwick patted his hand.

Scott turned his head and saw Professor Flitwick's wise and gentle eyes, and couldn't help but calm down.

He couldn't help thinking that it was great to have such a reliable elder present at this time.

Even though he has the memories of past and present lives, he is still too immature compared to Professor Flitwick.

Milton played a total of 10 pieces of music composed by himself in this recital. When the last piece "Hogwarts" was played, Milton stood up and bowed deeply, and the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause.

Even all the audience stood up, and many looked at Milton as if admiring a treasure.

He has had the best success.

Clapping vigorously, Scott couldn't help worrying while being happy for his friend.

At the end of the game, Scott looked back again.

He saw Mr. Graves going out on the arm of the lady.

The lady who had been crying was still looking back frequently.

And Milton was already surrounded by a group of enthusiastic young musicians at the moment, and didn't notice them.

"They're leaving."

Scott reminded a little anxiously.

But it's useless to be anxious. At this time, most of the audience is exiting in an orderly manner, and Professor Flitwick can't even see the person he is pointing at.

They are not easy to be crowded and can only go out with the speed of the crowd.

When they finally walked out of the concert hall, Mr. Graves and the lady had disappeared without a trace, and even Scott's magical perception did not detect their presence.

"It doesn't matter. In short, Mr. Graves will still work in the Ministry of Magic." Professor Flitwick said, but his face was a bit ugly.

At this moment, Scott suddenly realized that two other strange wizards who had been ignored because of distraction were gradually approaching him.
