Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 482 482. The Call with Luna
"The current situation is a bit complicated..."

Scott walked alone by the lake, holding a [magic mirror] and talking to Luna.

"...Dumbledore wanted Voldemort to successfully infuse Harry's blood with the Death Eaters scattered everywhere."

He recounted all the recent events.

Luna in the mirror is alone on the pier by the Black Lake.

After Scott finished speaking, she blinked, as if in a daze, and nodded after a while.

"So it was," she said. "Harry became the savior because his mother sacrificed her life to protect him."

Having said that, she raised her eyes.

"His mother is great, does Harry know about it?"

Scott shook his head, "Dumbledore told me this, and I don't know if he told Harry."

Luna said suddenly, "Everyone has been slacking off lately."

"What?" Scott asked.

Luna said: "Because the mysterious person has not appeared for a long time, the newspapers have been promoting the victory of the Ministry of Magic, and everyone thought that the darkness was about to completely dissipate."

"No, the dark forces are growing," Scott said.

"I reminded everyone before that the Mysterious Man hasn't failed yet, and we can't let our guard down." Luna smiled, "But some people got angry when they heard it."

"Angry?" Scott raised an eyebrow.

Luna nodded slightly, "They think that I, like Professor Trelawney, like to use fabricated prophecies to spread panic."

She seemed confused.

"I don't understand why they are angry. With their wisdom, they can clearly see that I am not telling lies."

"No, those people don't lack wisdom, they just don't want to face reality."

Scott explained to her,
"They think that covering their eyes will make whatever they're afraid of completely disappear."

"I don't understand this kind of psychology." Luna said, "Sane people should know that escaping doesn't work."

"Stop trying to convince others, Luna."

Scott said a little funny.

"It's not that those people don't understand the truth, nor do they want to lack wisdom. They just want to escape, or wait until the day when they can't escape before facing it."

What he didn't say was that for some people, Voldemort's presence didn't make much difference to them.

If the wizarding wars happen again, they can leave Hogwarts, or even leave the UK.

So they can turn a blind eye to the current situation and don't want to hear about it.

Isn't that the case in the "Original Book", when the Battle of Hogwarts, a considerable number of students left early.

Even Gryffindor House had a handful of students leave.

"So what are you supposed to do, Scott?" Luna asked him suddenly.

Scott looked puzzled.

Luna said, "I mean, if it's confirmed that Ms. Slytherin is hiding in Edinburgh Castle, what are you going to do?"

"I'll do it," Scott said, "or at least disrupt her recovery and let her sleep for a while longer."

Of course, it would be best to get rid of her.

Scott felt that there was little hope of getting rid of Medea, but making trouble was necessary.

He wants to buy more time for himself.

He must go on an adventure to the tower extending to the center of the earth, retrieve the [Heart of the Sacred Tree], and try to open the passage to Avalon.

"It will be very dangerous." Luna said with some concern, "Will Professor Dumbledore help?"

"I think he will."

Scott, who was still thinking about the tower extending from the center of the earth, said with a smile.

Luna said softly, "Do you have to go? I remember that the summer solstice is June 6, but the third round of competition is June 21."

Scott was a little surprised.

This is how Luna would know what he was thinking through the [Magic Mirror].

"Yes, I have to go." Scott said, "Three days should be enough. In short, I will come back as soon as possible, but there is nothing I can do if I can't make it."

"Do the professors know about this?"

"Oh, of course I do, I spoke to Dumbledore."

Hearing what he said, although Luna was still a little worried, she didn't persuade him to give up.

"Let me think about it, I will prepare some props to prevent curses, oh my dad may be able to help..."

Scott thanked her and said goodbye.

After putting away the [Magic Mirror], Scott stretched his waist.

That night, he received a message from Dumbledore.

[I took the time to visit Edinburgh Castle a few more times. The secret room where Ms. Slytherin hides should be in the depths of the dungeon in the castle. ]
[Of course, please do not act rashly, Scott, I will have a talk with you tomorrow. ]
After receiving the news, Scott immediately switched to the monitoring screen at Edinburgh Castle.

Of course, there are his "eyes" in the dungeon, but he didn't see anything wrong before.

But unfortunately, it was already night at this time, and the dungeon located deep underground in the castle was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen.

Then he looked at the place where the portrait of the King of Scotland was displayed.

It is still very quiet here, and the members of the All-Wizards Council and the portrait of Medea have not appeared again recently.

He had been thinking about how he should act that night, and he was absent-minded in class the next day.

Until the afternoon, Scott received the news again and couldn't wait to visit Dumbledore.

"Oh, Scott, have you figured out what to do."

Dumbledore asked him with a smile.

"The reason why I sent you a message last night is to give you more time to think."

"It would be nice if the honorable lady Slytherin could rest a little longer," said Scott.

Dumbledore served him a cup of unsweetened black tea, "Did you choose the most likely goal?"

Scott nodded, "Even Voldemort couldn't kill her, and neither should I."

Dumbledore looked at him and asked, "You want to do it yourself?"

"I'm not going to take any chances, Professor."

Scott laughed and pulled an ugly little lizard from his pocket.

"This is Gorzan. He has the ability to travel underground. I don't know if it will be useful."

Dumbledore looked at the finger-sized mini Komodo dragon in his hand and shook his head.

"I have to tell you, Scott, that the Chamber of Secrets is very difficult to break from the outside," he said.

Scott expected this too.

"Since Medea chose to 'cultivate' there, it means that it is the 'safe house' she built for herself."

He put the wagging little lizard back into his pocket and looked at Dumbledore.

"Do you have any good advice, Professor?"

Dumbledore clapped his hands.

With a crisp and melodious chirp, Phoenix Fox suddenly appeared in the room singing.

It danced gracefully in a circle.

"Oh, Professor, has it grown again?"

Scott looked up at the proud and beautiful bird.

He still remembers that Phoenix Fox had a nirvana in the Quidditch World Cup finals last summer.

"Come on, Scott, the time is right."

Dumbledore stood up and took Fawkes's tail feathers with his hands.

"At this time, there are no Muggle tourists there anymore. I will accompany you there now, Edinburgh Castle."

　Today there are only 2000.

　　Well, the two leave slips have been used up.

　　This month's lazy share has been exhausted.

　　Normal updates will resume tomorrow.
