Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 507 507. Leaving Beauxbatons
As Scott made his choice, the writing on the parchment slowly faded away, and then two new lines of writing emerged.

[Selection completed.

The virtual alchemy test bench is on! ]

Kaka…

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical rotation, the huge experimental table in front of Scott instantly split into several pieces and twisted like a Rubik's cube.

Soon, the experimental bench was reorganized and reappeared in front of his eyes.

Scott found that the tabletop of the laboratory bench had changed drastically.

The original reddish-brown countertop has turned into pure black, and the utensils and stone slabs placed on the countertop have also disappeared.

[Please select the alchemy array]

A line of prompts appeared on the black table.

Scott stretched out his fingers and swiped across the table, selecting one from the dazzling array of alchemy arrays.

Following his selection, the alchemy array instantly expanded, moved to the center of the table, and began to rotate slowly.

[Please select the alchemy material]

Scott then selected a few more from the available material.

Soon, the materials selected by him appeared directly on the table.

Scott tried to reach out and touch the material, only to find that it was just a phantom.

It's like a holographic projection.

"I see."

Scott knew what was going on with the so-called virtual alchemy experiment.

He followed the prompts and moved his fingers on the countertop to move the materials into the alchemy array.

After that, follow the prompts to set the temperature of the virtual flame.

The alchemy experiment started immediately.

After several experiments, Scott was delighted to find that the hint on the parchment did not lie.

The virtual alchemy test bench can indeed simulate 100% of most alchemical reactions, and can also speed up the reaction process.

This made Scott jealous.

If you can have such a test bench, you can save a lot of materials and time when practicing alchemy.

No need to be as tempting as that fake Philosopher's Stone, Scott already wanted to move the experimental bench in front of him home!

This feeling of wantonly squandering all kinds of precious materials and wantonly verifying all kinds of conjectures is really... so cool!

Unfortunately, he can't do that.

The very sensible Scott sighed.

Since you can't get it, make good use of this time that you can use to your heart's content!
Scott quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the alchemy experiment.

Until a crisp bell rang.

Scott glanced at the watch on his hand, two hours had passed by now.

"The last warrior to complete the challenge." Professor Roselle's voice sounded, "Come out, everyone."

The door of the alchemy laboratory opened.

Scott reluctantly left the alchemy test bench and walked out of the laboratory.

He found two more doors on one side of the wall, through which Fleur and Krum came out.

Seeing that the two doors were exactly the same, with the number of [Flame Alchemy Laboratory] written on them, Scott was sure that he had been cheated.

What he entered was not the real [Flame Lab] at all.

In the living room, Professor Russell had already stood up from the sofa.

"follow me."

He turned and walked to the other side, stretching his hand to open the heavy curtains.

What was exposed behind the curtain was an elevator.

"test……"

A mechanical female voice sounded.

A portrait of Professor Russell was outlined on the metal door of the light blue elevator.

"August Russell."

"Identity confirmation."

"Approved."

The elevator door opened slowly, and Professor Russell walked in.

The three of Scott followed behind him and walked into the elevator.

"Beginning to rise."

The lift started to move, but stopped shortly afterwards.

With the door opened, Scott found that they were back in the lobby of the Alchemy Museum where the audience was.

They were greeted with deafening applause and cheers.

Scott waved to where the Hogwarts delegation was.

"Let us welcome the three warriors! And, the assistant for this round, Professor Russell!"

Mr. Jolly's voice sounded a little hoarse, but he kept shouting.

"This round of competition is over!"

"Next, is the most exciting part!"

"Five members of the referee team, including me, will score the performance of the three warriors in this round of competition!"

"After scoring, the champion of this Triwizard Tournament will also appear soon!"

"The champion will not only add honor to his school, but he will also receive a cash reward of up to one thousand Galleons!"

With Mr. Jolly's passionate cry, the cheering voice of the audience suddenly went up to a higher level.

After a while, the scoring session officially started.

"First of all, it is to score the last warrior who completes the challenge in this round."

"She is, the warrior from Beauxbaton School of Magic, Fleur Delacour!"

While explaining, Mr. Jolly raised his wand first.

A huge number [8] rises.

Next came Mr. Lefeble.

He also gave 8 points.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Maxim gave 8 points.

Professor Hartman gave 7 points.

Dumbledore gave 8 points.

Mr. Joly announced loudly, "Miss Delacour scored this round, 39 points!"

In the standings, Furong's total points became 128 points, temporarily ranking first.

"Next, let's score the second warrior who completed the challenge in this round."

"He is, the warrior from Durmstrang School of Magic, Viktor Krum!"

Mr Jolly gave Croom a 9.

Mr. Leifeble, also 9 points.

Madame Maxime took one look at Professor Hartmann and gave it a 7, prompting boos from the Durmstrang delegation.

Dumbledore raised his wand and revealed the number [9].

In the end, Professor Hartman directly gave 10 points.

Of course, he got boos all over the place.

"Mr Krum scored this round, 44 points!"

The standings changed again, and Klum's total points became 129 points, surpassing Furong by one point and temporarily ranking first.

"Oh……"

Beauxbaton's students all sighed angrily.

"Next, we will score the first warrior who completes the challenge in this round."

"He is, the warrior from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scott Trollope!"

Mr. Jolly gave Scott a 10 outright.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Lefeble, Mrs. Maxime, and Dumbledore all gave 10 points one after another.

Only Professor Hartman is left unmarked.

He raised his wand, seemingly hesitantly.

At this moment, uniform shouts came from the auditorium.

"10 points!"

"champion!"

"10 points!"

"champion!"

"10 points!"

"champion!"

It's Scott's classmates.

They shouted and shook their fists at Professor Hartman.

In fact, at this time Scott's championship has been stabilized.

Even if Professor Hartman gives 0 points, he is still the overall champion of the three rounds.

But it's clear that Scott's peers don't think so.

They had long been dissatisfied with Professor Hartman, who had been grading unfairly.

[10]

Perhaps because he understood that his score could no longer affect the ranking, Professor Hartman finally gave 10 points amidst the shouts of the crowd.

"Congratulations!"

Mr. Jolly led the applause.

"Congratulations to Mr. Trollope for getting a full score in this round, 50 points!"

"I think it didn't come as a surprise to everyone."

"Mr. Trollope's excellence is obvious to all!"

"Congratulations to him!"

"Congratulations Hogwarts!"

Amid endless applause, Scott topped the standings with a total of 144 points.

"Congratulations, Scott."

"Congratulations."

Both Fleur and Krum gave Scott a hug politely and generously.

Next is the awards ceremony.

Behind Scott and the others, the elevator sank to the ground, and a stone platform rose.

The passionate music sounded, and countless ribbons and flowers fell from above.

Mr. Joly and Mrs. Maxime walked down from the jury.

On behalf of the two organizers, the French Ministry of Magic and Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they handed over a trophy and a Gringotts check to Scott.

"Congratulations, Mr. Trollope!"

Mr. Jolly hugged Scott warmly.

"You are the best young wizard I have ever seen!"

He made no secret of his admiration for Scott, posing with him in front of the reporters' cameras.

"Congratulations."

Madam Maxim also bent down and hugged Scott gently.

"What a pity, Mr. Trollope."

She spoke sincerely.

"I noticed that you have a strong talent for alchemy. You should really have come to study at Beauxbatons."

"Thank you." Scott replied politely, "Hogwarts is also very good."

"Of course, I have no intention of belittling Hogwarts."

Madam Maxim straightened up gracefully.

"But as far as I know, Hogwarts doesn't offer alchemy, does it?"

"You're right." Scott said helplessly.

Hogwarts is indeed missing this course.

Madam Maxim smiled slightly, "You are still in the sixth grade. If you want, you can also transfer to Beauxbatons in the last year."

"what?"

Scott looked up at her in surprise.

Madam Maxim still smiled friendly and continued to persuade Scott.

"You have already experienced it, the virtual alchemy test bench in LeMay's alchemy laboratory."

"If you transfer over, I can decide to open up to you."

"One year is enough for you to take a big step in alchemy."

"Also, don't worry about the NEWT exam. Certificates issued by the French Ministry of Magic are also used in magical societies all over the world."

Having said that, she lowered her voice.

"You should understand that coming to France can also save you from the chaos in England."

Scott felt Madame Maxime's sincerity.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for your invitation. To be honest, I am really tempted, but..."

He still shook his head.

"As you said, Britain is in chaos now, and I should also contribute to this, instead of choosing to escape."

Madam Maxim was stunned when she heard the words, raised her huge palm and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Oh, you're a good boy."

She said quite moved.

"In that case, I won't say any more."

"Thank you for your appreciation." Scott thanked again.

"My invitation will remain valid as long as I am the principal of Beauxbatons."

Madame Maxime continued.

"In the future, even if you have graduated from Hogwarts, you can still choose to come to Beauxbatons to study alchemy."

"I'll think about it carefully." Scott said solemnly.

Madame Maxime nodded.

After the hustle and bustle of the award ceremony, Scott finally got rid of the annoying flash lights and reporters and walked together with his classmates.

Everyone was very excited, congratulated Scott tirelessly, and took turns to hold the huge trophy.

"I guess it's going to be in the prize room on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle!"

Fred held up the [Magic Mirror] to shoot the trophy, and said loudly to Scott.

"Students punished for labor service in the future will be responsible for cleaning it, and then pay tribute to your name!"

Scott couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't look up, I'm still alive."

"I think it should be in the Ravenclaw common room," Roger said.

But his statement was met with opposition from everyone.

Ethan kept patting Scott's shoulder.

"This is an honor that belongs to Hogwarts, and of course, it also belongs to Ravenclaw!"

He was so happy that he kept giggling.

The crowd walked out of Beauxbaton Castle surrounded by Scott and the trophy, and returned to the Hogwarts tower on the lawn.

Fred yelled, "When are we going back to Hogwarts? I can't wait!"

"Don't worry, we'll go back now."

Suddenly Dumbledore came in through the tower door.

"Can we go back now?" Fred asked in surprise, "No farewell, no farewell?"

"Oh, they've come."

Dumbledore motioned for them to look out the gate.

At this time, Mrs. Maxim had already led Beauxbaton's students to the lawn.

Scott also saw Lucio waving in this direction.

On the other side, the Durmstrang delegation also boarded the ghost ship docked by the lake.

In this way, in the farewell of the teachers and students of Beauxbatons, members of the Hogwarts and Durmstrang delegations left the beautiful Beauxbatons by magic vehicles.

In the lifted-off tower, Scott and the others stood in front of the window of the hall, looking at the Pyrenees Mountains that were gradually moving away.

"Oh, I'm going to miss this place."

"Me too."

"It's a perfect ride."

"You are right."

The girls are a little sad.

The tower rose above the clouds and flew towards England, pulled by the Thestrals.

In the following time, Scott and the others began to hold an aerial banquet in the hall on the first floor of the tower to celebrate the victory of the Triwizard Tournament.

The industrious house elves warmly presented various delicacies.

The atmosphere in the tower became joyful again.

Until Ethan's sudden words broke the happy atmosphere.

"I want to remind you." He said, "The NEWT exam is waiting for our seventh graders when we go back."

Cedric added, "Sixth grade also takes the apparition qualifying exam, oh, of course, and the end-of-year exam."

The hall became quiet.

A few seconds later, everyone was crying and howling again.

"Oh!"

"No!"

"Ruined!"

"Damn it, why did you remind me!"

"It's not true..."
