The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Scott looked at Luna, wanting to know her choice.

But after thinking about it, Luna asked Scott a question.

"What will you do?" She looked at him with curiosity, "I know you don't want me to tell others about you."

Scott was no longer surprised by her reaction.

He answered truthfully, "I will sign a contract with you and use the contract to bind you to keep it secret."

Luna did not speak immediately after hearing this, but stared at Scott for a while.

Then she nodded directly, "Okay, I agree to sign a contract with you."

Scott's face showed a surprised expression.

Luna asked lightly, "Are you surprised?"

"It's true that I'm a little surprised." Scott said.

Luna smiled lightly again, with a little pride.

"The contract should be mutual." She said briskly, "I can keep it secret and not tell anyone about you, but you should also agree to my conditions."

Scott raised his eyebrows, "Please speak."

Luna said seriously, "My condition is that you will not lie to me."

Scott was stunned.

He asked in surprise: "You mean, if I don't tell you any more lies, you won't tell anyone about me, whether it's in the past or in the future?"

"Yes!" Luna nodded affirmatively.

"I don't quite understand." Scott looked into Luna's eyes, "This isn't a fair clause, it's actually in my favor."

Luna tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Does it matter? You said we were friends."

Scott asked softly, "But are you the kind of person who indulges your friends?"

"I'm not." Luna said, "So I'll watch you."

Scott laughed, "But this means that what I did in the past is over, and you can't stop me from doing what I want to do in the future, and you can't even tell others."

Luna nodded again, "I know."

Scott said, "I can't think of a reason for you to choose this way."

Luna lowered her head and said in some distress, "Because I know I can't stop you, and I don't want to see you imprisoned in Azkaban because of those things."

When she said this, she raised her head and looked at Scott again, and said in an especially serious tone, "You said we were friends, and I can see that you're serious."

At this point, she stretched out her hand.

Scott felt her warm little hand holding three fingers of his left hand.

Luna continued, "If you can't lie to me, I will know everything about you. If I can't stop you, I will choose to get involved."

Scott looked at her serious expression and was touched.

He knew in his heart that although he did think Luna was his friend, the attitude and dedication of the two towards friends were incomparable.

At this moment, looking at Luna's pure and bright eyes, he even felt a little ashamed.

At the same time, he began to feel a headache.

After a long while, he spoke again.

At this time, his voice was a little hoarse, "Do you think that when you become my accomplice, I will have some scruples? Luna, I always think you are a smart girl."

Luna tightened the hand holding Scott's fingers, and smiled again with a little cunning.

"You said that we are friends." She said stubbornly, "I don't think I did anything unwise."

Scott frowned and began to consider whether to agree to Luna's contract conditions.

Because he really couldn't bear to let such a little girl get involved in his own affairs.

Luna seemed to see his hesitation and said quickly, "Since we have agreed, we can't go back on our word."

She still looked straight into Scott's eyes, "I'm already prepared, and I've grabbed your hand, so you can't sneak up on me and make me sign the contract."

"Okay." Scott said helplessly, "I give up."

So Luna laughed again.

It's not that Scott couldn't force Luna to sign the contract, but he was still a normal person after all.

When faced with malice, he could retaliate fiercely, and even increase the amount. But when faced with kindness, he couldn't repay it with malice.

Especially when faced with such a friendship and concern without any impurities, he compromised according to his own wishes.

"Then let's get started."

Luna let go of his hand and looked at him expectantly.

Scott took out a piece of parchment from the deformed lizard skin bag hanging around his waist, and then took out the wand.

He waved the wand, and the handwriting slowly emerged on the parchment.

When the contents of the contract completely appeared on the parchment, he used his magic wand to draw several golden, glittering and complex patterns on the paper.

When the pattern disappeared, Scott let go of his hand, and the parchment floated in the air. The contract was completed.

He said to Luna: "Next, as long as we use magic to sign our names on the paper, this contract will take effect."

"I'll go first." Luna raised her magic wand directly.

"Don't you want to think about it anymore?" Scott asked.

Luna waved her magic wand directly, using magic to leave her glittering name in the air.

[Luna Lovegood]

Watching her name flying and soon attached to the parchment, Luna turned her head and looked at Scott again.

Scott also waved his magic wand.

[Scott Trollope]

Two gleaming names appeared on the parchment.

As the names of the two people also faded away and turned black, it meant that the contract officially came into effect.

Luna reached out and took off the parchment, carefully rolled it up and put it into her pocket.

She jumped down from the flower bed and looked up at Scott.

"I'll keep it," she said.

Scott shrugged, "I don't have a problem with that."

Luna put the parchment away, jumped a few steps, and then turned to face Scott.

"Now, it's your turn to answer my question," she said. "You can't lie."

Scott reminded her, "While I can't lie, I can choose not to answer."

"It doesn't matter." Luna didn't care.

She pointed to her eyes, "Even if you don't answer, the little guy who lives in my eyes will tell me the answer."

She blinked again, "Although it's blurry."

Scott put his wand into the wand holder fixed in the lining of his robe, "Okay, what do you want to ask?"

Luna calmed down the expression on her face and looked a little serious, "It's about the newspaper. I want to know why you did that."

"I told you," Scott replied, "They all tried to kill me."

"I want to know the details." Luna emphasized.

Scott asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Luna nodded.

Now that Luna has signed the contract, Scott has nothing to worry about.

"The origin of the matter starts with Jacob, who is at the same level as you..."

Because Jacob's misfortune involves Jasmine Travers.

The girl developed ill will towards Scott and even joined the house elves in trying to murder him.

And because of the death of Jasmine Travers, Caitlin Rohr hated him.

Later, because the Yaxley family wanted to represent Travers' property, they promised Jasmine Travers' father to take Scott's life.

As for Elijah Caro, his ill will toward Scott stems purely from Caitlin Rohr.

Luna listened to Scott's story without interrupting him.

But her expression became confused again, and mist gathered in her eyes.

Scott has come to understand that this is a stress reaction when she doesn't know how to deal with it.

But he did not choose to avoid answering, nor did he conceal his ongoing murderous behavior.

He thought that Luna would be scared and stay away from him.

In this way, she can't tell anyone about him, and she won't take the initiative to get involved in his affairs.

It was the best outcome Scott could think of.

In short, Scott told almost completely all his experiences in the past two years.

It wasn't until the moon rose high in the sky that he stopped talking and looked at Luna calmly.

Luna's thin body was trembling slightly, and her expression was in a trance, as if she was in a trance.

Scott didn't say anything anymore, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Luna finally recovered.

The smoke in her eyes dissipated, and she focused again, looking at Scott.

Scott still looked at her calmly.

"This is tiring." Luna said softly.

When Scott heard this, he instantly felt that the expression on his face became a little stiff uncontrollably.

Luna was still looking at him seriously.

She asked: "If you had made different choices at the beginning, would you have been happier later?"

Scott thought for a while, but still shook his head stiffly.

"I don't know," he replied.

He didn't know what changes he would have made if he had not killed Jasmine Travers.

Maybe it will save a lot of trouble and, like Luna said, live a happier life.

Maybe there will be more trouble, because even though Jasmine Travers is just a little girl, she is also an evil, perverse and paranoid witch.

Of course the smart Luna can also think of this.

"I don't agree with your choice, Scott. What you did seems to me like an overreaction." She said, "But who can conclude that only my idea is correct. Even myself, This cannot be concluded.”

Listening to her words, Scott laughed, "Of course you can choose to live according to your own ideas."

Luna asked, "So, can you stick to your own ideas?"

"That's what I've always done," Scott said.

Luna nodded, "Me too."

When the two of them said this, Luna smiled again first, but then reacted quickly.

"I was almost convinced by you, Scott." She raised her head and looked into Scott's eyes, "But my dad once told me that we should not only see the hurt and pain in our eyes, let alone Touch Hate.”

Scott asked her, "Do you think I only see the bad things in my eyes?"

Luna shook her head, "No, I can see that there is always love in your heart."

Scott said: "The difference between us is that your tolerance and love can be given to most people, but my tolerance and love can only be given to a very few people."

I didn’t expect that I could describe “small-mindedness” in such a refreshing and refined way...

He thought to himself at the same time.

Luna seemed convinced by him again.

"What's wrong with that?" she said. "I am the same. My love for anyone will never exceed my love for my parents."

After saying that, she suddenly shook her head.

"Oh... I can't figure it out, and I don't know how to tell you what I think." Her tone became erratic again, "I decided to wait until I think about it thoroughly before talking to you."

With that said, she turned around and left in a daze.

Scott stood there without moving, just watching her back disappear among the flowers.

After a while, Scott was ready to leave the garden from the other direction.

Passing by several couples hiding in the garden on dates, Scott met Grapeland at the exit of the garden.

This time she didn't take the Thestral for a walk, but took Hagrid's hound Fang.

"Good evening, Scott."

Graplan was still puffing away his words while speaking, and his teeth were whimpering, as if he wanted to stay away from her.

"Good evening, Miss Grapeland."

Scott stopped.

Graplan's plump red lips curled up, "Do you have anything to ask me, boy?"

Scott looked at her confident look, but he didn't want her to feel proud.

"Not really." He shook his head directly.

Grapeland just glanced at her.

"It's okay." She said with a smile, "If you have anything to ask, you are welcome to come to me at any time."

"Really?" Scott also laughed.

"Of course." Graplan nodded.

Scott took a step forward, squatted down and touched the rough hair on Fang Ya's head.

"Although Fang looks very vicious," he said in a confused manner, "but according to Professor Hagrid, it is actually a useless coward."

Grapeland coughed suddenly, appearing to choke on her sage smoke.

She coughed for a while and then asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"

"nothing."

Scott rubbed Yaya's head again and stood up.

He looked at Graplan with a smile, "I just suddenly remembered after seeing Yaya and said a few nonsense words."

"Really?" The smile on Graplan's face became a little forced.

"Of course," Scott responded.

Graplan spoke again, "Mr. B..."

Scott put his finger in front of his lips and made a silencing gesture to stop her words.

"Shh." He still smiled, "I have already met Mr. B."

Grapeland blurted out in shock: "Impossible, you don't know who Mr. B is."

Scott said calmly: "Mr. B is not the only one in the Scholars Alliance."

"You..." Grapeland stared at Scott suspiciously, "Who did you contact?"

"That's none of your business, Miss Grapeland." Scott began to show off.

Grapeland looked at him for a while, then said in a firm tone: "No, you are lying."

Scott smiled and said nothing.

Grapeland regained his composure.

"You are just an underage wizard. Without Mr. B's guarantee, I would not be able to recruit you to join the Scholars Alliance."

"Except for Mr. B and me, no one else in the Scholars Alliance has noticed you, an underage wizard, so you can't come into contact with those people now."

Scott blinked.

"Thank you." He said with a grateful tone, "Thank you for telling me two important pieces of information."

"What?" A look of astonishment appeared on Graplan's face again.

Is this lady really a Ravenclaw graduate?

Scott was a little skeptical.

He held up a finger.

"First, when I said that I had met Mr. B, the reason for your rebuttal was very interesting."

Graplan's expression changed again.

Scott shook the finger.

"You blurted out that I didn't know who Mr. B was, but didn't say that it was impossible for me to see him. What does that mean?"

"This shows that in your subconscious mind, I do have a chance to meet Mr. B."

A look of remorse appeared on Graplan's face.

Scott continued: "I think I did meet Mr. B on Friday when I went to the Ministry of Magic to attend the trial, right?"

"So what?" Grapeland managed to calm down, "You must have met a lot of people at the Ministry of Magic that day."

"Indeed." Scott nodded without further explanation.

Although he met many people, there were very few suspects.

Especially when the name is so coincidental, there is only one.

He had just thought about whether to directly tell Mr. Bode's name to deceive Graplan, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.

Because doing so has the possibility of alerting the enemy.

At this time, he saw that Graplan had breathed a sigh of relief.

She has probably concluded that Scott can't find the real Mr. B.

Scott smiled again and stretched out a second finger.

"There is a second thing I need to thank you for, Miss Grapeland."

Graplan frowned again when he heard this.

Scott said: "Second, it seems that you did not tell me all the procedures after joining the Scholars Alliance."

"As my guarantor, Mr. B's [Book of Prometheus] and his authority in the [Knowledge Bank] are higher than mine. He can even restrict my communication with other people in the alliance, right?"

This time Grapeland showed no signs of embarrassment.

"That's right." She admitted directly, "I thought you had discovered it but didn't tell anyone, but I didn't expect that you didn't discover this at all. This kid has never tried to contact anyone!"

Scott shrugged.

He did not try to contact others, or in other words, he did not want to have a deep connection with the somewhat strange association of the Scholars Alliance.

At this time, Grapeland obviously didn’t want to say anything more to Scott.

"If you want to get more in the Scholars Alliance, take the initiative to contact Mr. B." She said, "If he is satisfied with you, your [Book of Prometheus] can get more permissions."

After saying that, she waved her hand casually and left with the whining Yaya in hand.

Scott also returned to the Ravenclaw common room to work on his essay.

He saw Luna again in the college library, but the girl was holding a huge book and reading seriously, and had no intention of communicating with him for the time being.

After finishing writing the paper as quickly as possible, Scott came to the common room.

He found that many people, including Eddie and Roger, were gathered in the common room, still discussing the bombshell news published in the Evening Prophet.

Regarding the discussion on this matter, these Ravenclaw students have now been divided into several factions.

Some people insist that this incident was the revenge of the Rohr family. Some people think that the murderer is other dark wizards who like to kill people and create panic. Some people think that the murderer is other prisoners of Azkaban. Some even say that it is a dementor. Dry.

Scott also sat and listened for a while.

"Scott."

Not long after, Eddie, who was arguing very enthusiastically with others, came to him.

"What do you think?"

He winked at Scott, trying to get Scott to agree with him.

Scott shook his head, "Let's wait for the results of the investigation by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic."

No one agreed with his words.

It seems that everyone has been disappointed with the Auror's investigative abilities.

"What are those Aurors for?"

"There have been many cases in a row without finding out the truth!"

"I have given up hope on them."

"Originally, I planned to become an Auror after graduation, but now I have changed my mind."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Scott suddenly thought that he seemed to be responsible for several unresolved cases in the past two years.

So he said sorry to the Aurors in his heart.

That night, Eddie and Roger were still talking about related topics until they went to bed.

Scott and Milton, who had returned from practicing piano in the music room, were both tired after a day of intense study, and just listened silently to their heated discussion.

Not sure if it was because he felt that Scott and Milton were not involved, Eddie quickly changed the topic.

He said in a somewhat deliberate tone: "The two followers of Elijah Carlo are not having a good time now. They are the two guys who ambushed Scott on the elevated stone bridge with him."

Hearing him mention the two Slytherin students whose names he didn't know, Scott became a little interested.

After all, they had all been defeated by him before, and thinking about it, they still miss him a bit.

So he asked, "What happened to them?"

"Their relationship with Carlo is so good, just like Malfoy's two big followers." Eddie said enthusiastically, "When the news that Carlo killed Roll reached Slytherin, Slytherin Everyone in Leitlin distanced themselves from them."

Milton asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with them?"

Eddie said: "I don't think it matters either, but those Slytherins don't think so."

Before Scott and the others could ask, he explained: "Although Caitlin Rohr was once a Ravenclaw, she is also a pureblood. Not only is Carlo's cousin but also engaged to him."

"I know that Carlo committed a heinous crime against his family and fiancée." Roger said nonchalantly, "But it still has nothing to do with those two former followers of his."

Eddie said angrily: "In short, those Slytherins isolated those two guys because of this incident!"
