Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 438

Professor Flitwick gave Scott a definite answer the next day.

A potions master agreed to the deal Scott proposed.

It was Damocles Belby that Professor Flitwick had specifically mentioned.

The wizard who had won the Medal of Merlin for inventing the wolfsbane potion.

Professor Flitwick has given the formula to the other party.

"You don't have to worry about Belby's reputation, and you don't have to worry about not getting all the materials together."

Professor Flitwick told Scott.

"Unlike Snape, Belby is a potion master who likes to use expensive materials. The Wolfsbane Potion he invented cannot be fully promoted because of the high cost."

Scott, of course, had no objection.

Although he had no contact with Damocles Belby, the potion master, and could not generate trust, he trusted Professor Flitwick.

Since the professor said there was no problem, Scott was relieved.

In the next few days, while studying, Scott entered the illusion of Sailor's astrolabe many times, and finally recorded the star map that records the starry sky arrangement in the illusion.

The verification of astronomical knowledge and complicated calculations took another two days, and he got a detailed coordinate.

Then, he found the position revealed by the coordinates on the globe——

It was the Norwegian Sea, north of Britain, even further north than Iceland, somewhere in the Arctic Circle.

After finding a more detailed map for inspection, Scott found that the location revealed by the coordinates did not have an island, but was on the vast sea.

Of course, since all he could find were Muggle maps, he couldn't be sure there weren't any islands there.

In short, after Scott recorded the coordinates, he temporarily put the matter aside.

He is indeed curious about the hidden coordinates of the Sailor Astrolabe, but he has doubts about whether to investigate.

There is only one coordinate and no other information. Even if you go there, you may not get anything, but you may fall into danger.

After all, it's also possible that the guy who made the Sailor Astrolabe did it out of malice.

But Scott is not without gains.

As the number of times he entered the illusion increased, his control over the sailor's astrolabe also increased.

Unless he takes the initiative, he will no longer passively enter the illusion in the process of communicating with the sailor's astrolabe.

This means he can start parsing the magic item.

He is very interested in the principle of illusion formation, and if he can get the corresponding rune circuit, it will undoubtedly greatly enrich his own tactical system.

Time flies by in such busyness, and most of August will soon pass by.

On August 8, the morning before the Quidditch World Cup final, Scott bid farewell to his parents and returned to the oak hut in the Scottish Highland forest through the portkey.

He was greeted by Rimbaud's chattering complaints.

Because after that fight with Strillner, he "abandoned" Rimbaud in Hastings.

"Before this, you have complained to me many times through the [magic phone]." Scott said helplessly.

Rimbaud became even more furious.

"You don't answer my calls at all!" it said loudly, "Are you bullying me that it's not convenient to send messages!"

That's why I don't want to talk to you!
Scott complained.

"Sorry, I'm just too busy."

He surrendered again and again, and it took him a while to coax the angry Crow King and Lord Blackwing.

Didn't stay in Oak Lodge, just sorted it out, after talking to Fred through the [Magic Mirror], Scott turned into a peregrine falcon, and flew to the village of Ottery St. Catchpole in southern England with Rimbaud .

They reached the sky above the Burrow at noon, Rimbaud flew directly to Ferret Mountain, and Scott landed directly outside the garden and changed back into human form.

Ron and Harry were catching goblins in the crumbling garden.

"Oh...Scott?" Harry was taken aback, and then bitten by the goblin in his hand, "Oh damn!"

He raised his hand and threw the goblin out of the garden.

"Long time no see, Harry."

Scott went into the garden.

"Oh, long time no see." Harry was a little embarrassed, "By the way, thank you for giving me my birthday present, and congratulations on learning Animagus."

"Hey Scott!"

"Come up!"

Fred and George poked their heads out of the windows of the third-floor room.

Scott gestured to them.

"Mom said, you have to help deal with these damn goblins too!" Ron complained loudly.

"Thank you, little Ronnie."

"We'll pay you a Sico."

But Ron was not satisfied with the twins' bid, "One silver box is too little!"

"That's a copper Knut!"

Fred and George closed the windows directly.

"Those two bastards!" Ron gritted his teeth.

"It's okay, the two of us can finish it." Harry persuaded him in a good-tempered manner.

Scott smiled apologetically at the two working boys and walked into the house.

After greeting Mrs. Weasley who was busy in the kitchen, he went directly to the third floor.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Fred ask, "Genius Scott, have you received your OWLs transcript?"

George also asked, "How was the test?"

"Unbelievable." Scott pretended to be surprised, "You guys would take the initiative to talk about grades."

"Because our grades made my mother a little angry."

"She thinks we won't be able to find jobs and support ourselves in the future."

"In my mother's imagination, we would have a miserable future."

"So we want to tell you."

"Don't talk about your good grades."

"Otherwise she'll spank our butts in anger!"

Scott said with a smile: "Because I block my name most of the time, the owls can't find me. My transcript has been collected by Professor Flitwick."

Fred's and George's eyes lit up simultaneously.

"so……"

"So you don't know your grades yet?"

"Of course I know." Scott shattered their illusions, "Professor Flitwick also has a [magic phone], and by the way, I got 10 certificates."

"Oh, you should pretend you don't know."

"Mum almost refused to let us go to the World Cup final."

"Okay." Scott was a little amused, "How bad are the grades of the two of you?"

"Oh, it's actually not bad."

"We're pretty happy with ourselves."

Both Fred and George laughed.

"Everyone got three certificates."

"If you ask me, we've exceeded expectations by going to the exam."

"...three?"

Scott didn't expect these two guys to have such poor grades.

In his impression, these two guys are actually very smart, and their magic level is not bad, even better than many people. The reason for their poor grades is that they don't want to do their homework seriously and are too lazy to take the exam.

He really didn't expect that it's okay to pass the usual exams sloppily, but they didn't even take the OWLs seriously.

But Fred and George really don't care about it.

"We don't think that's going to work."

"A few small certificates can't represent our talent at all!"

"But Mom doesn't think so."

"After all, she wants us to work in the Ministry of Magic, like Dad."

"She doesn't understand us at all."

"For us, that future is scary."

Scott shrugged, "She's just worried that you won't be able to support yourself. You have to prove that you can live well without those certificates."

Fred and George shook their heads in unison.

"Unless we show her the money we've made in school for the past two years."

"But the only result of that is confiscation."

"Then you'll just have to tell with time," Scott said with a laugh.

"Only Percy would want to work in the Ministry of Magic." Fred curled his lips. "After all, he is an official fan."

George said gloatingly, "It's a pity that he can only stay at home and can't find a way out. Of course, Dad doesn't agree with him entering the Ministry of Magic now."

"The current situation is really not suitable." Scott said.

It was not a good choice to enter the Ministry of Magic before the situation was stable. If a newcomer like Percy who had just graduated accidentally got involved in various battles, he might lose his life in a daze.

"We all understood what Dad meant, only Percy didn't."

"His temper is getting worse now."

Fred and George complained dissatisfied.

Scott was a little embarrassed to hear that, and quickly changed the subject, and then they began to guess what kind of wizards would be the professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions in the new semester.

They didn't go downstairs until Mrs. Weasley called everyone to lunch.

Only then did Scott realize that Hermione was there.

Their relationship was a little stiff because of an earlier argument about the treatment of house-elves, so they just said hello to each other.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Weasley asked Scott about his OWLs as the twins worried.

Under the twin's non-stop eye gestures, Scott followed their instructions and prevaricated with the reason that Professor Flitwick collected the report card on behalf of him.

Mrs Weasley obviously didn't have much reason to believe him.

Although she didn't continue to ask, she gave the twins several hard glances.

The whole lunch process was not pleasant.

Not because Mrs. Weasley was worried about the twins' grades, but because Percy remained stern and silent.

When the others were halfway through eating, he put down the tableware, left the dining table silently and went upstairs.

This prompted the remaining Weasley siblings to complain.

"Mom, look at him!" Ginny took the lead in attacking.

Ron then complained, "He must make everyone unhappy, right?"

"Oh, poor baby Percy."

"Maybe he needs to be hand-fed by his mother so that he can eat more,"

The twins' mouths were full of yin and yang.

"It seems that even with 12 OWLs, there is still no way to find a good job."

"And in Baby Percy's eyes, the Ministry of Magic is the only good job."

But Mrs. Weasley obviously felt sorry for Percy, and forcefully suppressed their dissatisfaction.

"Shut up, all of you!" She growled with her eyes wide open, "Percy is just in a bad mood, you should understand him."

Hearing her words, the four brothers and sisters showed displeased expressions.

At the dinner table, Scott, Harry and Hermione, who were not members of the Weasley family, were a little embarrassed.

Scott was fine, but Harry and Hermione became more cautious when eating.

Mrs. Weasley found out this, so she desperately stuffed them with food, and Harry and Hermione, who couldn't stand the enthusiasm, were even more embarrassed immediately.

In the afternoon, Scott was in Fred and George's room, helping them make the goods on the order.

In the evening, Sirius came to the Burrow with Mr. Weasley.

In the early morning of the next day, a group of people headed to Ferret Mountain, where they will look for the door key to the finals.

On the way, they met Cedric and his father, Mr. Diggory, who had the same purpose.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they climbed to the top of the mountain together.

Along the way, Mr. Diggory, the Dazzling Demon, couldn't stop boasting to Cedric, and all kinds of words and words came out endlessly.

But he soon met his match.

Because under his influence, Sirius also turned into another dazzler, pulling Harry out to fight against Cedric.

Harry was no match for Cedric, a model student, compared to his academic performance, and Mr Diggory easily won the first round.

Sirius went on to brag about Harry's "amazing" Quidditch talent "inherited from his dad".

Mr Diggory made no show of weakness, secretly connoting that Harry hadn't been captain of a Quidditch team like Cedric had.

Cedric interrupted many times and changed the subject, but he couldn't stop his father, and could only smile apologetically at the others with a blushing face.

Of course, Harry also seemed to be haunted by shame.

His face was redder than Cedric's, and he could only hide it by lowering his head.

Mr. Weasley, who has a lot of children and does not lack the capital to show off, did not participate in the previous war between the two dazzlers, he just listened cheerfully.

Scott felt that this was the big guy with deep merit and fame.

Amidst the noise, they came to the top of the mountain and found the target door key - an old boot.

"Everyone, put your hands on it!"

They stood in a circle and put their fingers on their boots, at Mr. Weasley's command.

And Rimbaud, this time Scott didn't forget it.

The door key was activated, and after a while of spinning around, Scott landed smoothly in an open space.

Other than him, only Cedric and the three adults landed standing up, and the others all rolled into a ball on the ground.

"Five past seven from Ferret Hill," said a voice.

As the others struggled to their feet, Scott turned his head to survey his surroundings.

The place they had come to resembled a vast, desolate, misty swamp.

In front of them stood two weary, sullen wizards.

One of them held a large gold watch, the other a roll of thick parchment and a quill.

Both were dressed as Muggles, but they were neither fish nor fowl.

The man with the gold watch was wearing a tweed suit and a pair of thigh-length galoshes underneath.

His colleague wore the pleated kilts of the Highland men and a South American cape.

Mr. Weasley greeted them and handed the old boot to one of the men.

The man told them the location of the camp, "Weasley... walk about a quarter of a mile, the first camp ahead. The groundskeeper is Mr. Roberts. Diggory... you are in the second camp... look for Penn gentlemen."
