Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 417 417. Returning to Hogwarts During the Summer Vacation

Facing the concerned eyes of Professor Flitwick and his two roommates, Scott said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I ran away, and I was worried just now..."

"No, you made the most correct choice." Professor Flitwick interrupted him, and he looked at Scott seriously, "It's also the only choice."

Although Scott thought the same way in his heart, he still couldn't help feeling guilty. He finally calmed down after hearing what Professor Flitwick said.

Professor Flitwick patted Scott's arm, and turned to Dumbledore and Moody, "Oh, Albus, and Alastor, thank you for coming."

Moody said in a blunt tone, "You're welcome, Felius, where is the prisoner who attacked you?"

"Run away." Professor Flitwick felt helpless, "Sorry, I couldn't keep them."

At this time, Roger on the side took the initiative to speak, "It's because the scene is too chaotic, there are many Muggles, Professor Flitwick wants to protect everyone, so he let them run away."

Dumbledore said with a smile, "Okay, let us adults take care of the rest. You three students will rest aside for a while."

He whispered a few words to Strauss, and soon, a young Auror came out, leading Scott and the three of them out of the office and into a lounge.

"Stay here obediently, boys, until your professor comes to take you home."

The young Auror gave some instructions, then turned and walked out of the lounge, closing the door behind him.

"Merlin, I'm literally petrified!"

Before Scott could react, Roger started talking loudly to Scott.

"Do you know, you disappeared so suddenly! Looking at it from my perspective, I only saw your figure submerged in a green light. I thought you were dead!"

As he spoke, he patted Scott on the shoulder vigorously, obviously very excited.

"Fortunately, before my tears came out, I found that there was nothing there."

"Sorry." Scott apologized again. "At that time, I had no time to react. I could only activate the port key."

"I gotta say, you did a great job!"

Roger deliberately laughed.

"But unfortunately, you didn't see the expressions of those two guys at that time, oh, and Professor Flitwick who was really angry."

He gestured with a very exaggerated expression.

"Professor Flitwick who is angry is simply too scary, beyond imagination, those two guys have been taught a bad lesson, and even managed to escape!"

Roger kept talking as if being caught by Eddie, and Scott didn't know how to answer for a while.

But he was just a little curious about what happened to Professor Flitwick who was really angry.

At this time, Roger began to describe the chaotic scene in detail.

"...The Muggles were very excited at first, thinking we were doing some kind of magic show, they kept moving forward, and even reporters were taking pictures."

"Seeing those two guys suddenly return to their original appearance after being attacked by Professor Flitwick, those Muggles reacted!"

"Besides, if it weren't for the Muggles running around in a panic, Professor Flitwick, who is fully armed, would definitely be able to take down those two damn Death Eaters."

After listening to his narration, Scott understood what happened at that time.

"I'm thankful," he said. "I've been worrying about other ambushes, they're obviously coming after me, and I don't even know what to do if you get hurt because of this."

and……

"This is already the second time."

When he said this, his tone was very calm, but his heart was definitely not calm.

Scott was extremely angry when he almost caused his friend to be in danger twice in a row because of his own affairs.

He even wanted to launch a counterattack without hesitation.

Although this urgent impulse had been suppressed by him, he never let go of the idea of ​​fighting back.

He will definitely make the Carlo brothers and sisters pay a terrible price.

"Milton."

At this moment, Roger began to turn to Milton who had been silent.

"Don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"No, you came to Austria because of my invitation." Milton's voice was a little choked.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Scott came back to his senses and walked up to Milton.

"Why do you think that? As I said, they're after me."

He reached out and put a hand on Milton's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of this incident that your recital didn't come to a successful conclusion. But I have to say, the recital part was really successful, and all the audience were captivated by your amazing talent gone."

"It's my fault." Milton shook his head, "It must be because my news was published in British newspapers, so they would think of coming to my concert to lurk in search of opportunities, otherwise they would never find you .”

"You're digging into a dead end, those guys can always find opportunities." Scott was a little helpless.

Although Scott said this, Milton still lowered his head and remained silent.

Scott looked back at Roger, but Roger shrugged his shoulders at him, with the same helpless expression on his face.

"Listen." Scott patted Milton on the shoulder. "This happened by accident. Again, they came after me. Anyway, no one will think it's your responsibility."

Although Scott could only pat lightly, Milton fell on the sofa as if his legs were weak.

"I know what you mean, Scott, I just... I was being interviewed at the door, and I also saw you being overwhelmed by the green light of the Death Curse..."

Knowing that the scene where he suddenly disappeared was too shocking, Milton was obviously frightened, and Scott didn't know what to say.

At this time, he thought of Mr. Graves and the lady who appeared to be Milton's mother who appeared in the concert hall.

Opening his mouth, Scott didn't know whether to say it or not for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to hand over this matter to Professor Flitwick, an elder, but the accident happened so suddenly that Professor Flitwick probably hadn't had time to tell Milton about it.

"Have you anything to say to me, Scott?"

At this moment, Milton raised his head and looked at Scott with red eyes.

He who is very sensitive to other people's emotions seems to have noticed something.

"It's something very important to me, but you don't know whether you should tell me?" At this moment, Milton seemed to have the same ability as Luna, "Is that so?"

Scott smiled helplessly, but he was not going to lie to Milton.

"Yes. How did you find out?"

"Obviously," said Milton, "it's rare to see such hesitation on your face."

Scott gave him the thumbs up.

Milton kept staring at him, "Tell me, what happened?"

At this time, he calmed down instead.

Scott was stared at by his non-threatening clear eyes, but felt a lot of pressure.

At this moment Roger interrupted, "What are you talking about, oh Scott, I remember when the performance started, you found 3 wizards, besides the Carlo brothers and sisters, who is the other one?"

"It's my dad?" Milton said the answer directly.

"Um...well, yes." Scott wasn't trying to hide.

Milton had a complicated expression when he heard that, "So he really came..."

"Did you find out?" Scott asked in surprise.

Milton shook his head, "I felt familiar eyes, but I didn't see familiar people."

Scott was considering whether to mention Milton's mother, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Professor Flitwick walked in.

"Are you all okay?" he asked.

"We're fine," Roger replied. "Shall we leave, Professor?"

"Of course, you are underage wizards, you can leave early." Professor Flitwick said, "I will take you to the hall, and you can return to the UK through the international Floo network on your own, and go to Hogwarts to wait for us."

Roger hesitated, "But about Milton..."

Professor Flitwick said: "Go to Hogwarts first, Milton can come back after the matter is dealt with, and I will send him over then."

"Thank you, Professor." Milton stood up quickly.

Professor Flitwick nodded and led them downstairs, watching the three leave through the fireplace.

When the three of them walked out of the fireplace in the atrium of the British Ministry of Magic, they woke up the young wizard on duty.

He was sleeping on the table.

Scott took the initiative to explain the situation, and the three of them came to the Hogwarts principal's office through another fireplace.

It was already midnight, but Professor McGonagall and Hagrid hadn't slept either, and were sitting in the principal's office waiting.

"Mr. Trollope, Mr. Davies, Mr. Graves..."

Seeing them appear, Professor McGonagall anxiously asked about the situation.

After the three explained what happened, both Professor McGonagall and Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing you're all fine."

Professor McGonagall said the same thing.

Now that she understood the situation, she didn't ask any more questions, and waved them back to the dormitory to rest.

"I've had the house-elves tidy up your dormitories," she said.

The three expressed their thanks quickly, then left the principal's office and walked through the deserted castle.

Scott led the two of them to the prefect's bathroom to take a good bath, and then returned to the dormitory to sleep soundly.

"It's summer vacation, but I wake up in this familiar bed, feeling like the vacation has been evaporated."

When Scott woke up in the morning, he heard a wonderful word from Roger.

Scott smiled, got up and put on his slippers, picked up the wand and walked to the window, aiming the wand at his heart.

"Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."

Feeling the clear second heartbeat in his body, Scott completed his daily homework.

After washing up, Scott noticed that Milton looked at him frequently, hesitating to speak.

But Scott didn't point it out.

The three left the Ravenclaw Tower and went to the kitchen to have a hearty breakfast.

After breakfast, they were summoned to Professor Flitwick's office by his patron saint.

"The incident has subsided, and the employees of the Austrian Ministry of Magic have also eliminated the influence of that incident among Muggles." Professor Flitwick said to them, "It's just that Dumbledore and Moody may still need to be responsible there. Negotiation work for a period of time."

Scott was a little regretful when he heard the words, and he wanted to talk to Dumbledore as soon as possible about the details of Mr. Bird's arrest.

For nothing else, he wanted to find the Carlo brothers and sisters through Mr. Bird.

In the Ministry of Magic's trial against Elijah Caro, Elijah Caro's reaction coincided with the content of the letter sent to him by Mr. Bird, which made Scott always suspect that there was some kind of relationship between them. connect.

Coupled with the rewriting of the memory of the defendant and witnesses, Scott also suspects that such a difficult matter is inseparable from Mr. Bird.

Scott is eager to get revenge on the Carrow brothers and sisters, so he must first find their hiding place, which makes him not want to let go of any relevant clues.

Professor Flitwick said a few words, let Scott and Roger leave first, leaving Milton alone.

Scott knew this well, and he assured him about the appearance of Milton's parents.

It was already noon when I saw Milton again.

After lunch, the two returned to the dormitory and found Milton sitting on the windowsill with his legs crossed.

He had a dazed expression on his face, and he didn't even react when Scott and Roger walked in the door while talking.

Scott and Roger looked at each other, neither trying to comfort him.

Because they all know that many things need to be figured out by the parties themselves.

Scott, of course, was eager to criticize, lashing out at a couple who weren't sure if there was a real divorce.

If it was a sham divorce, why did Mr. Graves do it?
Pretending to be separated and then marrying another woman while hiding the ex-wife sounds outrageous.

In the end, it was Roger who broke the quiet atmosphere in the dormitory, "Oh, I don't know how long we will stay at Hogwarts, I still want to continue watching the Quidditch World Cup."

Scott turned his head and glanced, only to find that Milton was still sitting there motionless, completely unresponsive.

After a while, Scott finally couldn't bear it and walked to the window.

"We're not sure if that's your mother, Milton," he said. "If it's her, it's not a bad thing. At least you know she's doing well."

Milton's glazed eyes finally turned.

"Yes, I'd rather she live well and hide, than live in a place I don't know." Milton said in a faint voice, "Also, I don't have to keep looking for her, I can wholeheartedly to pursue their dreams.”

Although he was speaking, his eye sockets turned red quickly, and tears fell down one by one.

Scott quickly comforted him, "I don't think she meant to lie to you, maybe she has some last resort, maybe Mr. Graves didn't find her until recently."

He racked his brains to help Milton's mother find an excuse.

"Thank you, Scott, but don't comfort me like that."

Milton said while crying.

"I'm just happy, yes, I'm just too happy."

Scott fell silent again.

Such a poignant tone.

Of course he could easily tell whether Milton was really happy or sad at the moment, but he chose not to expose Milton's lie at the moment.
