Chapter 436

After breakfast, Scott first confirmed the contents of the "Daily Prophet". After seeing that there was no report of his own, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He understood that someone deliberately suppressed the news for him.

Scott didn't know who did it, maybe Professor Flitwick, or someone else, but it saved him a lot of trouble.

Afterwards, he followed Fred and George to their room, and the two showed him the results of their summer research.

"We've improved the magic camera."

"Of course, there are other good things."

Scott watched their results with great interest.

[Magic Camera] has not changed much, but it is much more convenient to operate.

Others are little mischievous gadgets.

These things might sell well, but they don't serve much practical purpose.

Scott also shared his latest work-[Magic Phone] with them, and made two of them on the spot.

Fred and George are obviously very interested in the [magic mobile phone]. After trying to exchange messages and calls with Scott, they also realized the huge business opportunities contained in it.

"If everyone can talk to each other, just like [The Book of Prometheus], ​​this thing will definitely sell!" George said excitedly.

Scott said: "Relevant knowledge is exchanged in the [Knowledge Bank], and the underlying rune circuit is derived from the retained information of the [Knowledge Bank]."

Fred asked, "How do you get everyone to talk to each other?"

"That's hard."

Scott thought about it.

"The connection between us now is based on my [Magic Mirror] as the matrix. You all know that the materials I used to make [Magic Mirror] were not precious, and obviously it cannot carry too much information."

Fred and George soon understood.

"To make it possible for all wizards in England to be able to talk to each other on [the magic phone]..."

"You need to build a magical device like the [Knowledge Bank]."

Scott nodded, "Not to mention the technical difficulty of building a magic device, the first problem we have to face is the cost of precious materials, which requires a lot of money."

Money matters are not to be underestimated.

But Fred and George were only depressed for a while and then cheered up again.

"But it's a great invention that could change the entire wizarding world."

"We must make it!"

Scott couldn't help laughing.

"I think we can change the wizarding world and the way all wizards live..."

The [Magic Video Camera] invented by the twins, the [Magic Crystal Player] and the [Magic Mobile Phone] he invented, plus the knowledge left behind by Nicolas May after making the [Knowledge Bank], they can change many things.

Maybe they can make television, movies, mobile phones, even the Internet, these Muggle inventions, enter the wizarding world in another form.

On a whim, Scott couldn't help talking a lot.

Of course, most of them are just pointers on paper.

But both Fred and George listened with gusto.

Although they didn't know much about many of the terms Scott uttered, they were all open to new things.

And Scott couldn't help thinking in the process of telling, maybe he can really take these as a career.

He thought of Eddie's dream of starting a magical media company.

He, the twins, Eddie...

Maybe there are more like-minded guys out there.

If done seriously, they may be able to create a new era.

Unfortunately……

The magic world is not peaceful now, and coupled with the prophecy he has to face, Scott is not sure that he will be able to survive the catastrophe safely.

In short, although the ideal is beautiful, there are still many practical problems that he has to face.

And before everything calms down, they don't have the sufficient conditions to do this.

But Scott feels that he can accumulate strength from now on, which can also be called a technical reserve.

Although he himself didn't plan to spend too much energy on doing this, the two guys in front of him who are always full of whimsical ideas might bring him more surprises.

It's just that their thinking still needs to be developed, and listening to him is obviously not intuitive, and many things can only be understood after personal experience.

So he suggested, "You should go to London with me and spend a few days experiencing Muggle life, maybe it will give you more inspiration."

They could borrow Milton's apartment in London.

Both Fred and George were moved by his proposal.

But if they want to go out to play, the first problem they need to face is parental consent.

At the lunch table, Scott volunteered to bring up the subject to Mrs Weasley.

His claim, of course, was that the twins were curious about everyday Muggle life and he could take them to experience it for a few days.

Hearing his words, only Percy was unmoved, and Ron and Ginny looked at the twins with some envy.

"Oh, dear, no." Mrs. Weasley turned down his proposal, "I know them, Fred and George, these two guys are so naughty, they will make a mess of everything, and they will be killed in the end." The Ministry of Magic arrests them."

She glared at the twins.

"Your father said that the Ministry of Magic has been very busy recently, and the outside world is not peaceful, so don't cause trouble for everyone!"

"Oh no!" Fred covered his head in pain.

"Mom, trust us! We can guarantee that we will never cause trouble!" George emphasized loudly.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere!" Mrs. Weasley refused even louder.

She also said to Scott: "You too, my dear, you have just been attacked by a dark wizard. I don't know if you will encounter other dangers. For your safety, you should stay at our house. Unless Professor Flitwick has come to fetch you, or Arthur and I would not have let you leave alone."

Before Scott could say anything, she said forcefully, "That's the decision!"

Scott didn't expect that he would be restrained at all, but he couldn't live up to Mrs. Weasley's kindness, so he could only vaguely agree.

So he got the eyes of the twins looking at the traitor.

"Oh, Scott, what's the matter with you, compromising so quickly!"

After lunch, Fred couldn't help complaining to Scott.

"I thought we could really go to London." George muttered, "I really want to watch the TV and movies you mentioned."

Scott could only admit that he hadn't thought carefully, "Mrs. Weasley's worries are not unreasonable, and I'm also a little worried about being attacked again."

Unlike the fact that he killed the Carlo brothers and sisters, no one knew about it. Although this time the incident was not reported, many people knew that he killed two Death Eaters who had just escaped from prison, and it was inevitable that it would spread to the ears of other Death Eaters. Go, who knows if there will be follow-up revenge.

Anyway, be careful.

Scott doesn't want to hurt his friends again because of his own affairs.

Fred and George were tangling about not being able to play, but Ron and Ginny surrounded them. They had just heard from Mrs. Weasley that Scott was attacked by a dark wizard, and they were curious at this moment I want to ask clearly.

Even Percy didn't rush back to the room, and sat aside pretending not to care, listening with strained ears.

Scott didn't tell Ron and Ginny the details, only that Strielner destroyed their house and brought two dark wizards to take revenge on him.

Both Ron and Ginny still remembered what happened at the Dueling Club, and both had impressions of Stryllner.

"Do you think Malfoy will bring a dark wizard to revenge on me? Oh, and Harry!" Ron said seriously, "I'm going to write to Harry to tell him to be careful!"

Ginny couldn't help rolling her eyes at him.

"Don't worry, Ron, Malfoy doesn't take you seriously, Harry lives with Professor Black."

"What do you know!" Ron shook his hand impatiently, "Because I often fight against Malfoy, that kid must hate me to death!"

Next, Ron cited a lot of evidence to try to prove that he was Malfoy's old enemy, and his status and importance could be equal to Harry's.

But Ginny dismissed it, and Ron was so angry that he quarreled with her.

Fred and George belonged to watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, so they decisively joined the "battlefield".

"Oh, Ron, my silly brother."

"I guess in the eyes of little Malfoy, you are just Harry's sidekick."

"Like Goyle and Crabbe in your eyes."

"Just as silly."

Ron blushed with anger, "Harry and I are friends! You two are Scott's followers!"

Scott didn't expect that the flames of war would affect him like this.

Fred and George didn't care about Ron's counterattack, and laughed.

"Yes, we are Mr. Trollope's followers."

"Because the great Mr. Trollope can make money with us."

The two deliberately put on a proud look, and pretended to squeeze Scott's shoulders and beat his back, like two dog legs.

Ginny giggled happily when she saw this scene, but Ron seemed insulted, and he yelled, "That's not the case with me and Harry!"

"Ron, don't make a scene, don't bully your sister!" Percy scolded him, turned and went upstairs.

Ron's expression looked like someone had punched him hard in the face.

"What's none of his business?" He moaned in pain, staring at Percy's back indignantly.

However, both the twins and Ginny gleefully laugh at him.

Scott fully appreciates Ron's family status at the bottom.

It's too awful.

He couldn't help but patted the young man's shoulder sympathetically, but only got Ron's inexplicable eyes.

For the rest of the time, Scott either wandered around the village with the Weasley siblings, or researched with the twins, made some gizmos, or helped Mrs. Weasley with something.

Three days later, he couldn't resist writing to Professor Flitwick.

Because it's a bit boring, I can't study quietly according to my own plan, and I can't call the Ravenclaw tutor to attend the class.

During this period, he did not see Luna.

According to Ginny, Luna's father took her out of the house, not knowing where to observe magical animals.

After making an appointment with the twins to meet in the Quidditch World Cup final, Scott followed Professor Flitwick to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts through the fireplace.

Dumbledore has returned.

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore."

Scott took the initiative to greet Dumbledore who was sitting behind the desk.

"Good morning, Scott." Dumbledore observed him, "Are you all right?"

Scott understood what he meant.

I want to know if his state is still normal after taking the life with his own hands.

"I'm fine, Professor." Scott said calmly.

He was very calm after taking a life for the first time, so he would not play any psychological trauma.

Dumbledore glanced at him again.

"I'm glad it looks like you've come out."

Scott said: "The Weasleys have a great atmosphere."

"Oh, that's a loving family, isn't it?" Dumbledore said cheerfully, "It's really enviable."

Ok……

It is indeed very loving, but Scott is not an orphan, so he will not be as envious as Harry.

"So I also want to go back to my home as soon as possible." Scott said.

"Very good." Dumbledore nodded repeatedly, "The warmth of a family can heal everything, and only true love can save a wounded soul."

Scott wanted to emphasize that his soul was not injured, after all, he did not use the death curse to kill people.

What Dumbledore said next surprised him a little.

"By the way, I wanted to tell you that I went to Hastings," said the old Headmaster. "I can tell you've had a tough fight."

Scott didn't speak.

It is indeed difficult.

Although the process was not too thrilling in retrospect, if Rimbaud hadn't led the crows to defend him against the black magic with their flesh and blood, and if he hadn't killed him ruthlessly, he really wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed.

That battle was also a test of Scott's own strength, giving him a clearer understanding of his own level.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, he did not use methods such as poisoning, or shrinking the crow and disemboweling it.

Dumbledore said kindly again: "Don't worry, we don't mean to blame you. At any time, there is nothing wrong with an attack just for self-protection."

"I understand." Scott said truthfully, "Although I have some regrets about killing those three people, I will not feel sorry."

Hearing what he said, Professor Flitwick, who was standing beside him, patted his arm comfortingly.

Scott flashed him a quick smile.

Dumbledore added: "Of course, yes, no one will blame you for this, except the other Death Eaters."

He told Scott to relax, sat him down with Professor Flitwick, served them tea and refreshments, and started chatting mode.

"I think you should have heard a lot of news. Voldemort has really been resurrected. After the first failed prison break, he tried the second one. Unfortunately, he succeeded."

"I know a lot."

Scott didn't intend to reveal that he monitored Azkaban, or it would reveal the fact that he had been in Azkaban himself, but he didn't hide it all.

"You should know that I can command the crows to do things for me, including seeking information."

Dumbledore asked with great interest, "Oh? Because of that magical raven that can grow bigger? Can you tell me more about it?"

Scott truthfully told Rimbaud's origin and its role.

It has to be said that it was a bit extravagant for him to spend a one-time magic stone to make Rimbaud.

But both professors could understand his thoughts.

The urgency to take the magic that one loves further in this way is irresistible.

Scott continued: "Rimbaud has become the king of crows. The crows can not only assist me in the battle, they are very smart, so the more important role is to scout for news everywhere."

Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up, "Because Rimbaud exists, it saves you the trouble of finding ways to communicate with other crows."

Scott nodded.

"I suspect..." he said solemnly, "Voldemort is hiding in Malfoy Manor."

"I know," said Dumbledore.

Scott didn't ask him why he didn't attack Malfoy Manor, but instead talked about Medea's affairs, most importantly William.

He recounted in detail his meeting and conversation with William.

Professor Flitwick became anxious when he heard the news.

"Oh, William, that silly boy." He fidgeted a little, "Albus, we can't let such a young man be in danger."

Dumbledore sighed a long time, "But we can't do much, Felius, don't forget, we haven't been able to remove the Dark Mark from those people's hands."

Professor Flitwick's shoulders slumped.

Dumbledore was interested in the communication tool Scott gave to William.

Scott took out two [magic mobile phones] that he made at Weasley's house, and gave them to the two professors after an explanation.

"I am very happy to see these whimsical ideas of young people." Dumbledore poked the mirror of the [magic phone] with his hand, "It will make me feel like I have seen a better future."

Scott immediately explained to him his vision for the future and the existing knowledge base.

Both professors were captivated by his ideas.

Using magic to realize TV, movies, and instant messaging can really change the lives of wizards in a big way.

Dumbledore said with a smile: "I can't wait to see that future."

"I can't wait to realize this future vision with my friends." Scott said, "It's a pity..."

He shook his head.

"Everything will be fine." Professor Flitwick quickly reassured him, "You will definitely have a bright future."

"I will work hard."

Scott skipped the subject and went back to Medea and William.

"According to William, Medea has fallen into a deep sleep because of Voldemort's curse, which may have completely disrupted her plan."

Dumbledore understood, "Our forces in the Ministry of Magic will take this opportunity to move faster."

He obviously didn't think of Scott as an ignorant child anymore.

Scott also directly said: "The Ministry of Magic needs a strong leader, but just being strong is not enough. It also needs to be able to unite most of the forces."

In this period, perhaps only Dumbledore could be qualified for this candidate.

But Dumbledore obviously still had no intention of it.

"I would put Ms. Burns on," he said.

Scott doesn't think the somewhat rigid Ms. Burns is up to the job of Minister for Magic in these troubled times.

It can be seen from her previous arrangements for Azkaban.

But Ms Burns has her upside too.

The upside is that she's obviously going to do her best to cooperate with Dumbledore and not be as obsessed with power grabs as Fudge or others are.

So Scott just said: "If Ms. Burns becomes a minister, she may need to arrange more wizards to protect her safety."

Otherwise the lady might not be able to withstand even one attack from Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and it would be too late for others to come to her rescue.

Dumbledore just smiled, "It seems that you do know a lot."

They chatted until noon and had lunch together before Scott was sent to London Heathrow Airport by Professor Flitwick.

After Scott bought the ticket, they talked for a while in the corner of the airport lobby.

Professor Flitwick said earnestly, "Scott, I hope you can focus more on magic itself, not on other things..."

He didn't like to see Scott getting involved in too many other things.

Obviously, as he said before, he would prefer Scott to take a purer path and not be distracted by other things.

Scott was really helpless about this.

He didn't take the initiative to get involved in many things, it can only be said that he couldn't help himself.

"Of course, I know, because of the prophecy, you are very disturbed." Professor Flitwick continued, "But because of this, you should focus on magic. Nothing can compare to improving your own strength more important."

"I know, Professor, I'll pay attention." Scott nodded in response.

Professor Flitwick sighed.

"If everything is peaceful now and you won't encounter those things, then I will support you to have more hobbies. But obviously, your time is not too much."

Scott nodded again in agreement.

Until he got on the plane, he was thinking about Professor Flitwick's words and reflecting on himself by the way.

Although some things are indeed involuntary, it is really not the time to think about things like transforming TV or movies with magic.

Scott decided to temporarily hide those wonderful thoughts in the back of his memory.

In the afternoon, when he returned to his home in Madrid alone, Emilia scolded Scott to greet him.

Obviously, she just went abroad to listen to a concert, but there were many accidents, and she went to England for a long time before returning home, which made her very angry.

Scott pretended to be hippie and coaxed for a long time, and the expression on Emilia's face looked better.

He couldn't help but be thankful that Emilia didn't know about the battle at Hastings, otherwise she would have been even angrier.

After coaxing Emilia, Scott went out to Michael's antique shop and told him what happened in Hastings.

"I told you not to go." Michael knocked his head hard, "but you want to risk yourself."

Scott rubbed his head and said, "It turns out it's not too dangerous."

Michael disagreed: "You can't guarantee that you will have good luck every time."

Scott said aggrievedly: "But you didn't stop me on the phone, and you even said to trust my judgment!"

"I do trust your judgment."

Michael glanced at him.

"A guy who can only destroy uninhabited houses to vent his anger is not very clever. I believe you can handle it."

"Then why..."

"Of course I hope you will be more cautious in the future."

"I see, Dad."

There is no reason for a father to teach his son a lesson, right?
