The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts
Chapter 435 435. Moody's interrogation and a visit to the Burrow
As soon as Scott sat down and took a few breaths, a group of wizards suddenly appeared below the cliff, outside the range of the anti-Apparition spell.
Professor Flitwick ran quickly to him the moment he saw him.
"Oh, Scott, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Professor, I'm just a little exhausted." Scott replied.
This was the first time he tried to use transformation to create such a large monster, which consumed a lot of magic power and physical strength.
Others also came over.
The Aurors were led by Crazy Eyed Moody, whom Scott had met before.
Moody was leaning on a cane, his blue magic eyes moving around all the time.
He looked at the charred flames on the cliff, and finally looked at the fierce fire on the cliff behind Scott that was still not extinguished.
"Li Huo."
He waved at several young Aurors.
"Go deal with it."
The young Aurors quickly took the order and stepped forward past Scott and Professor Flitwick.
Scott was a little curious about how they were going to extinguish the Lihuo, so he turned to look.
At this time, Mr. Weasley, who was originally at the back of the crowd, ran over.
"Oh, Scott, you're fine."
He said to Scott kindly.
"Sorry, Mr. Weasley, I'm a little exhausted right now." Scott apologized for being unable to stand up. "And thank you, and of course, Bill."
Mr. Weasley waved his hand nonchalantly, "You're welcome, kid. It's a pity that we're a little late."
Scott shook his head.
At this moment, there was the sound of rock cracking behind him.
He looked back and realized that the way the Aurors dealt with Li Huo was to cut a layer of rocks and throw them into the sea.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
Moody walked over step by step on crutches.
"There are three dead in total, two of them are the prisoners who escaped from Azkaban a few days ago, and the last one has been reduced to ashes."
He stared at Scott with his terrible magic eye.
"Did you kill them?"
"Yes." Scott nodded.
"Amazing." Moody suddenly grinned, "Boy, what grade are you in now? Have you ever thought about becoming an Auror after graduation?"
"Eh?"
Scott was waiting for him to ask what happened. Unexpectedly, Leng Buding was stunned for a moment when he heard such words.
Moody smacked his lips in displeasure, "Why, haven't you ever thought about becoming a glorious Auror and active on the front line against dark wizards?"
"No……"
Scott was about to speak, but was interrupted again.
"Okay." His tone suddenly became very serious, "After all, three people died. It's still not possible to judge that your kid is completely innocent, so let's talk about what happened."
"OK."
Scott started to tell very cooperatively.
It starts with receiving a phone call from Michael.
However, his story was interrupted again just as he started.
"Mobile phone? Is it a new invention of Muggles? A portable phone without a phone line? It's amazing..."
Mr. Weasley's eyes widened, obviously interested in the phone.
"Don't get in my way, Arthur!"
Moody glared at him until he shut up.
Scott glanced at Mr. Weasley apologetically and continued to describe his experience of the day.
He did not add any exaggeration and simply told the story of how he returned to the town of Hastings because of a phone call and fought with three wizards.
However, except for Professor Flitwick, who was aware of his strength, everyone else had strange expressions after hearing his account of the battle, as if they were listening to a made-up story.
"Oh Scott, you should report it to the Ministry of Magic immediately after hearing the news that the house was damaged. The Aurors will handle such cases." Mr. Weasley spoke first.
Scott explained, "Because I'm not sure if it was caused by a wizard, I wanted to come back and check first."
Moody asked, "Can transfiguration really do what you say?"
Scott nodded.
Several dark crows flew down from the sky, and flames suddenly appeared around them.
After they flew around everyone, the flames on their bodies suddenly subsided, and they opened their mouths to spit out several thin lines of fire.
Although the lines of fire looked thin, they were extremely hot and intertwined with each other, drawing several scorched black marks on the ground.
"This is really unprecedented."
Watching Fire Crow's performance, Moody's normal eye was as round as his magic eye.
"After identification, the injuries on the two deceased persons were indeed caused by such a line of fire." said an Auror who had just inspected the corpses.
Moody nodded.
"Now, go see your house."
He said to Scott in a commanding tone.
Scott nodded and stood up reluctantly. Mr. Weasley quickly held his arm.
Moody asked three Aurors to stay on the cliff to deal with the aftermath of the corpse, and a group of people walked towards the residential area where the Trollope family was located.
They met another group of wizards on the road.
"They are members of the accident reversal team." Mr. Weasley said softly, supporting Scott.
A middle-aged wizard said to Moody: "There was too much movement. There were 37 witnesses in total."
While speaking, he glanced at Scott.
"Several people saw a fire-breathing dragon appear on the beach, and a Muggle even took a photo!"
Mr. Weasley told Scott, "They are responsible for erasing the memories of those Muggles."
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone," Scott said.
"It's nothing." The middle-aged wizard shrugged, "This is our job."
After saying this, he apparated away with the members of the accident reversal team.
The remaining people continued on and came to the door of Scott's house.
Moody led several Aurors directly into the courtyard and inspected the house for a while.
After walking out of the house, Moody said to Scott: "It seems you didn't lie. This house was indeed destroyed by magic."
He looked back at the dilapidated house and waved.
"Now, come with us to the Ministry of Magic."
Scott had no objections.
He was led by Mr. Weasley and disapparated to the outside of the Ministry of Magic building in London, and then followed this group of people to the Auror headquarters on the second underground floor.
During this time, Professor Flitwick and Mr. Weasley stayed with him.
But upon arriving at Auror headquarters, they were all kicked out by Moody.
Scott sat alone in a small room and watched Moody walk in from the door.
The formal interrogation began.
Moody started asking for lots of details.
Scott had no intention of hiding anything, so he answered exactly.
This process took a long time, and Moody, the old Auror, asked the whole incident over and over again several times.
Scott forced himself to be patient and answer repeated questions from time to time.
Moody examined his wand in detail and replayed the magic he had used with a flashback spell before finally asking Strelna about his motives for planning the attack.
"I want to know why Idric Strelner attacked you, taking with him two relatives who had just escaped from prison."
"I think it's because he hates me..."
Scott honestly recounted the origins of conflicts between himself and Strelna in the past at school, and the two duels in the dueling club.
"Because of the failure of the duel?"
Moody frowned when he heard the answer.
"It's not just because I defeated him," Scott said, "It's because I, a fourth-year Muggle-born wizard, defeated him, a seventh-year pure-blood wizard, in front of everyone."
He spoke again of the attack on the viaduct and of the [waste] he had left on Strelna's forehead.
"In short, he didn't mess with me anymore after that, and I didn't know that he was always worried about these things until the incident when Elijah Carlo sneaked into Hogwarts and attacked me..."
"You are saying that the time Elijah Carlo attacked you was because Strelna gave him information so that he could grasp your movements?" Moody said in a deep voice, "But you have never said that before. "
"Caro told me this personally, but I have no proof," Scott said.
Moody's magic eye stared at him for a while before looking away.
He no longer asked questions, but held a quill and recorded something on a piece of parchment.
"I didn't break the law, did I, Mr. Moody?" Scott asked. "My actions should be self-defense. Of course, I used legal spells during the fight."
"Wrong!" Moody shouted. "Don't forget, you are an illegal animagus!"
"Oh... I just learned it not long ago. During this summer vacation, I haven't had time to register yet. All the professors at Hogwarts can vouch for me." Scott said quickly.
"It better be this way."
Moody's magic eyes moved swiftly, staring at Scott again.
But he didn't dwell on the Animagus issue.
"But you're a little weird."
A ferocious smile appeared on his face covered with horrific scars.
"A student at Hogwarts, an underage wizard, why are you always in trouble? I dare say that more accidents have happened to you than the Boy-Who-Lived in Harry Potter."
"About this, I also want to know why." Scott said with a wooden face.
"If you really have no problem..."
Moody was still staring at Scott.
"Perhaps this is the unique fate of genius. Every genius who can ultimately influence the magic world grew up in the midst of bloodshed."
He opened his mouth and smiled, looking even scarier.
Scott didn't know what expression to respond to, so he could only continue to have a dull face.
"You can go." Moody put away the smile on his face.
Scott stood up and thanked him politely.
As he walked out of the room, Moody spoke again.
"Although it seems that you are innocent for the time being, I do not completely believe you. If I have time, I will continue to investigate you, boy."
Scott didn't respond and kept walking out of the small room until he walked out of the Auror Command office.
Professor Flitwick and Mr. Weasley were waiting for him in the corridor.
"Professor Flitwick, Mr. Weasley."
Scott solemnly thanked the two of them again.
Professor Flitwick looked a little sad, but patted his arm comfortingly.
"I'm sorry that things like this are still happening from the past." The professor shook his head with regret, "I don't know when the students at Hogwarts will no longer hate each other."
Scott whispered: "Professor, I'm sorry..."
"Oh, I know it's not your fault, Scott." Professor Flitwick smiled at him reluctantly.
Mr. Weasley also patted Scott on the shoulder, "In a one-on-three situation, it is impossible to show mercy, otherwise it will cost your life."
Professor Flitwick quickly cheered up and asked Scott, "By the way, where should you go now? The summer vacation is not over yet. Oh, maybe you should go back to your parents. Of course, you can go back with me. Stay at Hogwarts temporarily, and then I will send you away from England."
"Come to my house." Mr. Weasley invited. "Fred and George often mention you at home. If they hear about what happened today, they will definitely be very worried about you. You have also made an appointment to watch the Quidditch World Cup together. Final, isn't it?"
Scott thought for a while and happily accepted Mr. Weasley's invitation.
After saying goodbye to Professor Flitwick, he was taken by Mr. Weasley to apparate through space and came to the Weasley house.
"This is it. Welcome to the village of Ottery St. Catchpole. This is my home. We call it The Burrow."
Standing at the door of the crooked house, Mr. Weasley happily introduced Scott.
"Oh..." He looked up, "At this time, maybe everyone has fallen asleep."
He pushed open the door of the house.
"Of course, those two troublemakers, Fred and George, may not be asleep yet...Molly, dear, are you still awake?"
"Oh honey, you're back."
came the voice of Mrs. Weasley, who seemed to be still asleep.
"It's too late, I'm a little worried..."
"Molly, we have a little guest."
Mr. Weasley walked into the house, revealing Scott standing in the doorway.
"Oh...it's you, honey."
Mrs. Weasley obviously remembered him.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Weasley."
"Scott, welcome."
Mrs. Weasley walked up to Scott and gave him a warm hug.
Just then, the sound of running was heard on the wooden stairs of the Burrow.
"I thought I heard Scott's name."
Fred and George, wearing pajamas, ran down the stairs one after another, and both looked surprised when they saw Scott.
"Hey, it's really you!"
"Welcome to visit, brother."
"Your brother is me!"
"Friends can also be called brothers!"
While quarreling, the two ran up to Scott and shook hands with him one by one to welcome him.
Mrs. Weasley, who was pushed aside, glared at them with a tigerish face, "You two... you really didn't sleep well!"
"Please, Mom!"
"It's a free summer vacation now!"
The twins were unfazed.
Mrs. Weasley also wanted to teach the two of them a lesson, and Scott's stomach let out a hungry growl at the right time.
"Oh, honey, are you hungry?"
Mrs. Weasley immediately shifted her focus.
"Sorry, I couldn't have dinner." Scott said a little embarrassed.
"Poor kid, just wait, I'll make some food right away." Mrs. Weasley immediately turned around and walked to the kitchen.
"Thank you." Scott thanked him quickly.
Mr. Weasley said with a smile, "Oh, it's okay, I happen to be hungry too."
"Mom, I want it too."
"And I!"
Fred and George also raised their hands in response.
The two of them pulled Scott to the dining table and sat down together, staring at him with their eyes.
"I thought something must have happened."
"Scott actually came to our house one night with his dad."
"Well……"
Scott didn't know whether to say anything, so he turned to look at Mr. Weasley.
"The child was attacked." Mr. Weasley sat down on the other side of the dining table. "After being questioned by the Aurors and having nowhere to go, I brought him back."
"Attack?"
"who is it?"
The twins' eyes widened in surprise.
"Strilna, there are two black-robed wizards I don't know." Scott answered.
After hearing the answer, the twins thought for a while before they remembered who Strelner was.
"The Slytherin who was defeated by you twice?"
"I'm not surprised by the answer. It's obvious that he's always had a grudge against you."
"I didn't expect to find help."
"Slytherins are always so mean!"
Mr. Weasley added: "Those two black-robed wizards are Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban a few days ago."
Fred and George were even more excited when they heard the news.
"Oh, damn Strelna!"
"He is indeed hanging out with those Death Eaters!"
Out of righteous indignation, they alternated their passionate output and cursed Strelner non-stop.
Listening to this, Scott couldn't help but feel sorry for Strelna, who had turned into ashes.
"Okay." Mr. Weasley clapped his hands, "This matter is over. Your friends are safe."
For some reason, he didn't say that Scott killed three people.
Scott also cooperated and talked about Bill's help to him in this matter.
"Thanks to Bill for notifying Mr. Weasley in time..."
Fred and George's attention was immediately attracted to this event.
"Yes, we are all members of the Scholars Alliance and can contact each other through [The Book of Prometheus]..."
Scott took out his identity card, activated the [Book of Prometheus], and demonstrated it to them.
Fred and George did not like the Scholars' Union, a magic association named after scholars, but were very interested in the [Book of Prometheus].
The two picked up Scott's [Book of Prometheus] and tried to contact Bill.
Bill responded quickly.
He had always been a little worried about the outcome of Scott's incident.
Fred and George were very excited and happily chatted with Bill using the [Book of Prometheus].
At this time, Mrs. Weasley brought hot food.
After a midnight snack, Scott, who was full and satisfied, was arranged by Mrs. Weasley to a room on the third floor.
"This is Charlie's room."
"But it's empty now."
"We live next door!"
Fred and George enthusiastically introduced it to Scott, but were driven to bed by Mrs. Weasley.
After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Scott was just about to go to bed when Fred and George sneaked into the room with a lamp.
"Hey, I think we can continue chatting."
"About your fight with Strillner."
Putting the magic lamp on the floor, Fred and George sat down on the floor beside the bed.
Scott yawned, "Maybe tomorrow..."
"No, we can't wait to know."
"What happened."
"Okay." Scott sat cross-legged on the bed, "Those three guys are dead, I did it."
"Oh..."
Fred and George both opened their mouths wide.
Scott supported his chin with his hand and looked at them calmly.
After a long time, Fred, who reacted, asked hesitantly, "Should I say it was a good job?"
"I think so... Those are Death Eaters. If they are not killed, Scott will be killed?" George's tone was also a little uncertain.
"It was indeed a good job!" Fred nodded affirmatively.
"Well done, buddy!" George gave a thumbs up.
"Thank you."
Scott saw that they were not reluctant to accept it, so he laughed.
Fred and George accepted the news that Scott killed his opponent, and began to ask about the incident.
Scott had to tell the story again...
The next morning, when Scott was awakened by various noises, he found that Fred and George did not go back to their room, but slept together on the floor in front of his bed.
"Mom! Fred and George are not in the room!"
He heard Ron shouting outside the door.
"Look again! Breakfast is about to start!"
Mrs. Weasley's powerful voice was still powerful across the floor.
So Fred and George were also awakened.
The two rubbed their eyes and looked at their situation, both of them were a little confused.
"Fred! George!" Ron was still shouting.
"Oh, we are here!"
"Little Luo Luo!"
Fred and George also shouted at the top of their voices.
"Don't call me Little Luo Luo!" Ron pushed the door open, "You are hiding in Charlie's room, I'm going to tell Mom..."
"Oh, Scott? Why are you here?"
He looked at the three people in the room in surprise.
"Good morning, Ron."
Scott waved his hand.
"Good morning... Good morning." Ron's expression was a little embarrassed, "Breakfast is ready, you guys come down quickly."
Fred and George laughed.
"Now even our friends know about it."
"Little Luo Luo is just a little boy who likes to complain to his mother."
"Shut up!"
Ron ran away with a red face.
At the breakfast table, Scott also saw Percy and Ginny.
Percy welcomed Scott's arrival seriously.
Scott cheered up and exchanged a few words with him.
But the "official" atmosphere created by Percy was soon broken by others.
Because apart from him, the other members of the Weasley family behaved very casually.
Ginny also behaved very generously, and specifically mentioned to Scott that Luna's family also lived in the same village, and they often played together.
It's just...
She was soon broken by Fred and George's teasing.
"The difference is too big."
"What?"
"Why wasn't our little sister so talkative when Harry came to visit?"
"Because Scott is not her idol, so she won't feel shy?"
"Shut up!" Ginny roared in the same way as Ron.
In short, there were only a few people, but the table was very lively.
Finally, under Mrs. Weasley's strong suppression, they finished their breakfast in peace.
