Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 82 082. Rimbaud Reply to Lockhart

That night, Scott deliberately waited until after Milton returned to the dormitory after the curfew to discuss it with him again.

But in the face of the stubborn "British Jade", Scott couldn't dispel his thoughts.

In the end, he could only persuade Milton to pay attention to his body at all times, and it is best to keep some potions to replenish energy.

Milton gratefully agreed.

For the next few days, he still went out early and returned late every day, and he couldn't see anyone except for class and bedtime.

Scott could only use his magic sense to detect his physical condition every time they met, in an attempt to figure out what was going on with that weird oath.

Milton listened to Scott's advice and prepared a potion to replenish his energy, and his physical condition improved significantly.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

But what Scott never expected was that the things he had been worried about were completely resolved after a few days.

This matter was not resolved by anyone, but the group of music-obsessed musicians in the classical music club gave up on their own.

After hearing the news, Scott was stunned for a long time.

Make fun of me!

He shouted inwardly, with a feeling of being stuck in his throat.

"Why gave up?" he asked Milton.

Maybe the tone was too complicated, and it also attracted Roger and Eddie's astonished glances.

Scott didn't have time to explain to them the complicated feelings of emptiness and loneliness after fighting wits and bravery with the air.

"We tried our best, but we still couldn't play the piece as it really was."

Milton said reluctantly.

"Gideon suggested that everyone give up. In order not to tarnish such beautiful music, we decided to try again when our skills improve in the future."

"..."

For this reason?
Scott suddenly felt that this was indeed something that this group of literary men and women could do.

This reason he Scott approved.

He took a deep breath and said to Milton, "It's better to give up. You were already depleted of energy by that song, and your health was getting worse and worse. It's just entering a vicious circle."

"Thank you, Scott, we think so too." Milton smiled lightly.

Since his state has been tense a few days ago, Scott and the others haven't seen him so relaxed for a long time.

In the days that followed, everything went back to normal, and nothing bothered Scott again.

He also temporarily left this matter behind, and devoted himself to the second transformation set by Raven Rimbaud.

It's temporary because...

I don't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that this matter was not over yet.

But Scott deliberately ignored that feeling.

For him, the most important thing at this stage is the progress in Transfiguration.

Regarding Rimbaud, in Scott's view, the last failure was that he was too pursuit of perfection.

In order to make Rimbaud more "useful", in his setting Rimbaud not only can speak, but also has the wisdom of an adult, rich combat experience, and flying faster than most birds...

These stacking conditions obviously greatly increased the difficulty of performing Transfiguration.

And Scott's own Transfiguration attainments and magic level have not yet reached the corresponding level.

So the result is that Rimbaud appeared briefly for a while and then disappeared, and he himself passed out due to overload.

After thinking about this, Scott decided to change the plan.

That is to let Rimbaud evolve step by step with his own progress.

In this way, the initial version only needs to set the simplest ability.

Scott pondered for a few days and finally made a choice.

He set Rimbaud as a raven with no other abilities except speaking, and his intelligence was reduced to a level similar to that of an ordinary owl.

As for memory and experience, it has been simplified a lot.

This time he succeeded.

"Scott!"

The newly "born" Rimbaud shouted Scott's name, flew over his shoulder, and rubbed his head twice in the face.

"Hello, Rimbaud."

Scott reached out so that the raven was now in his palm.

"Hello, Scott!"

Rimbaud flapped his wings and looked very happy.

Scott's hand gently stroked the raven's shiny black feathers, and the smile on his face was somewhat stylized.

Although this initial version of Rimbaud can almost look fake, it is only equivalent to an ordinary intelligent robot.

It's actually a world of difference from the final version he wanted to be close to the real creature.

Looking at the raven in his hand, Scott had already thoroughly figured it out.

Transfiguration is just Transfiguration after all.

He actually wanted to challenge the "God's Domain" of the "Creator" as an apprentice wizard!
It's so insane.

He guessed that the raven that appeared briefly in the previous attempt was actually far from the set level.

But Scott wasn't ready to give up.

Because wizards have been so arrogant since ancient times!
In historical records, magical animals born in the hands of wizards are not uncommon.

The most typical example is the basilisk bred by the notorious dark wizard "Despicable Haierbo" in ancient Greece.

Scott believes that magic itself has no boundaries, only wizards have boundaries.

Dumbledore said that there is a cost to using magic.

He just couldn't pay the price yet.

Packing up his mood, Scott used Transfiguration to create a bonsai in the shape of dead branches.

He placed the bonsai on the bookshelf by the bed, and let Rimbaud perch on the dead branches.

With Rimbaud in place, Scott unfolded a piece of parchment and began to consider writing a reply to Bill Weasley.

He finally decided to conceal the results of his initial combination of Transfiguration and Ancient Rune.

Despite the clumsy step-by-step approach he used, and although his results seemed insignificant, such results were nonetheless revolutionary.

Scott really wanted to exchange this knowledge with Bill Weasley, because the other party is now in Egypt, and there are a lot of first-hand research materials in those pyramids.

But he is not familiar with each other after all, and there is no basis for mutual trust.

Out of the habit of caution, he finally decided to speak slowly.

He didn't want to rely on the descriptions in "Original" to define a living wizard.

In this letter, he just expressed his gratitude and regret, and at the same time, he took the initiative to exchange some other problems with Transfiguration.

These questions strive to be meaningful, can arouse the other party's interest in discussion, and show their genius to a certain extent.

In this way, the other party should also reply to communicate with him.

When there is more communication and the two sides are familiar with each other, Scott will be able to understand what kind of person the real Bill Weasley is.

Scott folded the letter he had written and put it in the envelope, and decided to take a trip to the school's owl shack to mail it.

At this moment, Eddie suddenly opened the door and rushed into the bedroom.

"I can't believe it!" he exclaimed. "Guess what I found? This is a shock!"

Scott didn't speak, just looked at him with calm eyes.

Eddie clapped his hands violently. "Okay, maybe I should give you a hint."

He walked over to Scott's desk and said deliberately mysteriously, "This has something to do with Lockhart. You have absolutely no idea what he wants to do!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in anything about that idiot." Scott turned his head.

He'd had enough of Lockhart's class plays and homework that required everyone to write hymns.

"Okay." Eddie took the initiative to talk about the details, "Lockhart deliberately ran into Dumbledore who was walking, and someone heard that he was applying to Dumbledore for a duel club!"

Another "original" event is about to be staged?
Scott turned to look at Eddie.

"Dumbledore rejected him!"

Eddie spoke more vigorously.

"Lockhart has been pestering him and advocating his status as an honorary member of the Alliance Against the Dark Arts."

Refused?
Scott was a little surprised.

Not too surprised though.

Now that the "Secret Room Incident" has been completely resolved, the students do not need a temporary duel club to improve their combat ability.

"...At this time, the most shocking thing happened!"

Eddie's mouth didn't stop when Scott was distracted.

"Snape showed up!" Eddie said with self-doubt, "He actually helped that Lockhart!"

I will do this.

Scott thought.

Snape just wanted to take the opportunity to give a hard lesson to Lockhart, who had robbed him of his desired position.

It would be better if the other students outside of Slytherin House could make a little bit of embarrassment by the way.

Especially Potter.
