Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 519 519. The last school year begins

On September 9, Scott and his friends met at King's Cross Station.

"If nothing else, this should be the last time we cross platform 9 and get on the Hogwarts Express."

Roger stood at the gate of the station where people were coming and going, and said in an emotional tone.

"Don't forget the Christmas holiday." Scott gave him a contemptuous look.

Hearing his words, both Eddie and Milton couldn't help laughing.

Roger looked unhappy, "Can you stop spoiling the atmosphere when I'm feeling emotional?"

"Okay, don't be emotional." Scott patted him on the shoulder, "It's time for us to stop."

With that said, he took the lead and walked into the waiting hall.

Eddie and Milton also walked past Roger smiling, following Scott's pace.

"Hey!"

He was called out by the remaining Roger, and followed up helplessly.

They passed through the muggle passengers coming and going, passed the wall familiarly, and entered platform 9.

Across the wall is another world.

"Oh, another batch of freshmen are enrolled..."

It seems that Roger's literary and artistic cells have not been exhausted today, and he stared at the little ones in the crowd who were obviously newborns and felt emotional.

"what?"

Even Milton, who has always been the most literary and artistic, can't understand where he came from.

"...and we're almost graduating."

Roger looked grave.

"Go, get in the car."

Scott went straight into the car, found an empty compartment and sat down.

Soon, three of his roommates also sat in.

"Don't you have any emotion?" Roger asked, "This is our last year at Hogwarts."

"Not including me, thank you," said Eddie, who is in sixth grade this year.

"I didn't talk to you."

Roger stared at Scott and Milton.

"Um……"

The kind Milton still cooperated with him.

"I feel a little complicated, a little bit sad, and a little apprehensive, but I will cherish this last year of campus time."

Roger nodded and stared at Scott again.

Scott turned to look out the window.

"Hey!"

Roger kicked him.

"what?"

Scott simply played dumb.

But Roger was still staring at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Scott was a little helpless.

"Even if I want to announce my graduation announcement, I have to wait until the end of the school year. Right now, I don't have any complicated emotions brewing."

"Ok."

Roger was a little discouraged, and changed to a slumped posture.

"I'm just a little confused. You all seem to have clear goals, but I don't know what I should do after graduation."

"Of course, the 'Tower of Babel' is our common ideal, but besides that, I still have to have a job, don't I?"

"Um……"

Both Scott and Milton looked at him in surprise.

They don't seem to have really discussed this issue in depth.

Milton asked: "I remember the career guidance in the fifth year. Your volunteer is to work in the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic? Isn't that great?"

"Ministry of Magic." Roger's expression was a bit complicated, "I don't know if it would be a good thing to enter the Ministry of Magic at this time... I mean, everyone knows that the mysterious people may attack there again at any time."

Eddie suggested, "You can choose to go abroad, just like Milton."

Milton nodded, "I will go to the Vienna Academy of Music for further studies."

Roger continued to be troubled.

"There is still a year to go, you have a lot of time to think slowly."

Scott stood up.

"Maybe You-Know-Who was knocked out before we graduated?"

With that said, he turned and left the compartment.

"See you later, I'm going to the prefect's compartment first."

"Wait for me." Eddie stood up, "I'm going too!"

They walked through the carriages towards the locomotive.

People greeted Scott from time to time along the way, and many freshmen also looked at him with surprise.

"See, you've become more and more popular." Eddie said proudly, "Of course, I'm also responsible for this."

"Yes……"

Scott gave him a complicated look.

Eddie's grasp of publicity is a natural genius.

Since the Triwizard Tournament, he has been publishing articles in newspapers to promote Scott.

Of course, his starting point at that time was to sell more merchandise.

Until Scott won the Triwizard Tournament and they established the "Tower of Babel", Eddie was keenly aware of the importance of publicity.

He decisively asked the Weasley twins to increase the shipments of [Magic Crystal Player], cooperated with his publicity channels, and used Hogwarts students as the link, successfully sold peripheral products including videos to everyone. Part of the British wizard.

Thanks to these, Scott has almost become a household name in the British magic circle.

In short, Eddie has already understood all the tricks of publicity.

"Keep working hard," Scott said with a smile, "You are the Minister of Propaganda for 'Babel'."

Eddie said, "I'd rather be Treasury Secretary."

"Then let's do it."

"Is it that easy?"

"What do you think?"

Of course, they were just joking.

There are only a few people in the "Tower of Babel" at this stage, and Scott has no intention of setting up any "ministers".

Moreover, many things have to be done step by step.

According to his speculation, for a long time to come, the "Tower of Babel" will be a relatively loose organization without any hierarchy.

While joking, they came to the prefect's compartment at the front of the car.

Pushing open the door, Scott found his partner Caccini already inside.

I haven't seen him for a summer vacation, and Caccini's hair has grown a little.

Although the girl still wears a man's hairstyle, at least it is not close to the scalp.

"Good afternoon, Caccini."

Scott offered to say hello.

"Good afternoon, Scott." Caccini raised his head, "It seems that this year's male student council president is you."

"it's me."

Scott nodded.

"Then I can rest assured." Caccini said with a smile, "If it were you, our work would definitely be much easier."

Scott expressed doubts.

Caccini said: "Please, everyone has seen your performance in the Triwizard Tournament. Believe me, no student at Hogwarts dare not listen to you."

"Is that so?"

Scott thinks it's not bad, at least it will save a lot of trouble.

"You have many admirers, Scott."

Caccini said again in a mocking tone.

"Especially those little wizards in the lower grades, they simply regard you as an idol."

"..."

Is it a bit too exaggerated, Scott turned to look at Eddie.

Eddie winked at him with a smug look.

Well, it seems that this "Minister of Propaganda" is also indispensable for fueling the flames.

As the train started, the prefects of various colleges and grades also came to this carriage one after another.

Scott greeted everyone he knew, including Keira, Cedric and others, as well as Ron and Hermione, who became the new prefects of Gryffindor's fifth grade.

He also copied a list in Caccini's hand, and quickly remembered everyone's names when she called the roll.

After that, he said that he and Caccini assigned tasks to these prefects and asked them to inspect the carriages.

After all the prefects went out, Scott and Caccini still had to sit in the prefect's car and wait in case the prefects couldn't find them after an accident.

After there was no one else, Scott took the opportunity to chat with Caccini about Miss Graplan who had let him join the Scholars Union.

"You should know better than me." Caccini was a little surprised, "After all, you are all full members of the Scholars Union."

Scott shook his head, "I have no contact with her. It should be said that I have basically never used [The Book of Prometheus] except for the few days when I got it."

To be precise, [The Book of Prometheus] only helped him complete the Animagus.

There is no way, the faculty he has is too amazing, and there are many adventures, and he can't finish the knowledge he gets for free, so he won't think about spending credits to buy it.

"Is that so?" Caccini was even more surprised, "I thought..."

Obviously, she thought that Scott's explosive growth in strength was due to [Book of Prometheus].

Scott shook his head.

[The Book of Prometheus] is not so easy to use.

If he could only rely on that thing in exchange for knowledge, he wouldn't be able to grow so fast.

Just look at Miss Graplan. In order to earn some credits, that lady even took the risk of sneak attacking the centaur in the Forbidden Forest.

"Not because of [the book of Prometheus], ​​but because of some adventures."

Scott didn't explain in detail, and Caccini was very knowledgeable and didn't ask more questions, but instead talked about Miss Graplan.

"I haven't seen Stephanie for a long time. I heard from Wilmina that she went to America to study Thunderbirds."

Scott nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Maybe because Mr. Bird was in prison, this Stephanie Graplan, who used to pretend to be Wilmina Graplan, took the opportunity to run away.

After that, Scott and Caccini did not chat any more, but just discussed some work arrangements for the next school year.

For the convenience of the future, they carefully made some work plans and discussed the methods and standards for handling some routine events.

Of course, there are also some unconventional plans.

The reason why it is said to be unconventional is that this plan is based on the assumption of "if Voldemort attacks Hogwarts again".

If such a thing happens again, they, as the presidents of the student union, must stand up and guide the students to evacuate. In order to avoid the chaos and chaos at that time, preparing a plan in advance can be regarded as a precautionary measure.

Time passed quickly, and in the afternoon, the train arrived at the Hogsmeade platform smoothly.

When the train stopped, both Scott and Caccini couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It couldn't have been better for them that the trip had gone without incident.

After getting off the bus, Scott found his roommates and took a carriage with them to Hogwarts Castle.

The brightly lit auditorium, the dazzling array of food, the old students who call friends and friends, and the freshmen who are nervous, the annual school opening dinner is staged again.

Dumbledore's headmaster didn't have much new ideas in his speech, but he just welcomed the freshmen who had completed the division as usual.

But at this time, except for the freshmen, most of the students in the auditorium were staring at a certain professor in the teacher's seat with surprised eyes.

Eddie, who was sitting next to Scott, also looked at their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in astonishment——

Professor Moody.

"He is really amazing!" He said in an exclamation tone, "It's incredible! He defeated the curse of the mysterious man! This is the first one!"

Everyone else was in the same mood as him.

Given Voldemort's curse on the position, this is the only Defense Against the Dark Arts professor any Hogwarts student has ever seen for two consecutive years.

But Scott just wants to say that Professor Moody is really brave.

Now that the school year has passed safely, shouldn't he be glad that the curse didn't take effect while leaving the job and laying down to keep safe?
This professor dares to be re-elected!

He doesn't know how powerful it is, Dumbledore should know.

So the old headmaster should dissuade him. After all, Professor Moody is also a key member of the Order of the Phoenix and cannot afford to lose.

But Professor Moody still sat here, which meant that he did not listen to Dumbledore's advice.

Could it be that this is called the boldness of a high-level artist?

Facing the complex gazes of most of the students in the auditorium, Professor Moody remained unmoved.

His chubby magic eye just turned around, and immediately made all the students look back.

Because of Professor Moody's intimidation, no one in the auditorium opened up about him.

After dinner, the Ravenclaws who returned to the common room immediately had a heated discussion on this issue.

Some people think that this is because Professor Moody is strong enough, stronger than any previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, so he can resist the curse.

Some people think that Professor Moody, who is a senior Auror, has completely broken the curse, and they no longer have to worry about changing the teacher of this course every year.

More people think that Professor Moody is just lucky, but it won't last long.

Some people even began to "prophesy" his miserable future.

Of course, some students who liked Professor Moody more began to discuss about giving the professor some magic items that could resist curses as gifts.

I don't know what Professor Moody will think when he hears this.

Anyway, the group of freshmen who followed the fifth-grade male and female prefects to the common room were stunned and frightened.

Scott and the others did not participate in the discussion, they just listened in for a while and then returned to the dormitory.

They are going to enjoy Milton's magic music recital.

Roger and Eddie had seen it, but they kept it secret, as if they wanted to see Scott's surprised reaction.

Of course, Scott is also very curious about Milton's music magic, not knowing the difference between it and Medea's music magic.

Back in the dormitory, they urged Milton to start his performance without even packing their luggage.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Scott also looked forward to watching Milton take out his cello, and cast a few spells in coordination to isolate the sound inside and outside.
