The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

"Nidhog."

Outside the tenth courtroom, Scott broke the alien space that enveloped the courtroom.

The Auror strikers rushed into the courtroom and formally arrested the four people who were subdued.

Scott also put away the silver puppet and let the phantom clone dissipate.

At this moment, the hoods of the other three people had been lifted, but Scott did not recognize Williamson, who had already revealed his face.

Ms. Bones said to Scrimgeour: "First, detain them in the dungeon, and be sure to send trustworthy people to guard them."

Scrimgeour nodded and directed the strikers to escort the four people away.

"Don't worry, we just made some minor mistakes, there is no need to do something unnecessary to make the mistake worse."

A wizard with a thin face smiled as he passed by Ms. Bones.

"I believe the minister will handle it impartially."

Among the four people, except Williamson, the other three did not seem to care about their arrest. Instead, they all put on a fearless attitude.

Only the youngest Williamson still looked indignant, staring at Scott with vicious eyes.

Watching the four being escorted away, Scott smiled, "How arrogant."

"They really didn't commit a serious crime."

Ms. Bones said very calmly.

"These four are not alone. Even if we want to deal with them seriously, we will encounter a lot of resistance."

Scott said: "But this is also a good thing. At least they have been exposed. We can keep an eye on them in the future."

These four are wizards who did not participate in the activities of the All-Witch Coven in the past.

All the members of the All-Witch Coven who appeared in the battle of Azkaban in the past have been recorded by Ms. Bones who was also present at the time. These people have not taken any action so far.

"I really didn't expect that the Ministry of Magic would become their gathering place."

Ms. Bones frowned.

"It seems that the security measures of the Ministry of Magic will be strengthened in the future."

Ms. Bones looked quite distressed. Although she is now the Minister of Magic, the only ones who will obey her orders completely are still the group of wizards who stood on the same side with her in the past.

But Scott was not very interested in these things, and Dumbledore did not say much. They exchanged a few words with Ms. Bones, then left the Ministry of Magic and returned directly to Hogwarts.

"You can relax a little."

Dumbledore said to Scott.

"I will also keep in touch with Mr. Graves."

Dumbledore did not stop taking care of things just because Voldemort disappeared, which made Scott relieved.

After thanking Dumbledore, he left the headmaster's office.

After returning to the dormitory, Scott released Milton from the [Eye of Odin] space.

"It's a pity." He said to Milton, "Medea was too cautious. Not only did we not find her current residence, but we also failed to catch her."

He recounted the details of what happened.

Milton couldn't help but thank Scott again and comforted him not to be too disappointed.

In fact, Scott was not too disappointed.

Although his original intention was to trap Medea unexpectedly, he didn't expect to succeed at once.

But...

Thinking about what Medea said when she left, Scott was a little unsure of what she was thinking.

"Perhaps, she is not really on the same page with her father?"

This is Helena's guess.

"At the beginning, Medea did not marry Gaunt voluntarily."

At this time, Scott and Helena were in Helena's study, talking about what happened before in front of the portrait of Ravenclaw.

"So, what is the meaning of what she did before."

Scott thought, trying to sort out the logic.

"Obviously, Slytherin himself doesn't know of my existence."

"After all, I am a [non-existent person], not observed by [Clairvoyance], and not recorded in [Book of History]."

"Medea's existence is Slytherin's backup against fate."

"He arranged for Medea to revive in modern times, stirring up the future he observed through [Clairvoyance] and disrupting the predetermined fate."

"I think [Book of History] must be in Medea's hands."

"After Medea revived, she found me, a [non-existent person]."

"My existence will make the future that Slytherin observed at the beginning go to the unknown, and will allow Medea to better complete the task assigned to her by Slytherin."

"This is also the reason why she tried to win me over and took the initiative to give me a gift."

"Medea has always wanted Slytherin to look at her with a new eye."

Helena had a new guess.

"Or...she wants to seize Slytherin's achievements."

When she said this guess, even she widened her eyes in surprise.

But she was convinced by her own guess.

"That makes sense!"

She was a little excited and spoke very quickly.

"Why does she want to get the magic item of the Graves family?"

"Because she wants to use the power of the item to break the magic and enter Avalon, or to break the arrangement of Slytherin in Avalon."

"Why doesn't she care much about the disappearance of Voldemort's soul?"

"Because she has a better goal!"

"Why is she so calm about you knowing the truth through the prophecy, and even expecting you to do something?"

"Because she wants you to weaken Slytherin's power first, and it would be best if you and Slytherin both suffered losses, so that she can gain the greatest benefit!"

As Helena asked and answered herself one by one, both Scott and the Ravenclaw in the painting looked at her in surprise.

Scott and Ravenclaw were not surprised by what she said, but they were surprised that Helena, a "naive and innocent" girl, would have such a "dark and cruel" guess.

It was quite impressive.

Helena felt a little embarrassed by being looked at.

"I just know Medea well. After all, she and I were once friends... Of course, this is just my random guess and can't be taken seriously."

"I think your guess is not impossible." Scott said, "I remember Medea once said that she loved her father, but she hated him more."

Ravenclaw said to Scott: "If that's the case, you have a lot more room for maneuver."

Scott nodded, "You are right. If Medea herself is not completely obedient, then I have a lot of room for maneuver."

Ravenclaw smiled slightly, "Since it is not impossible, then we must make plans in advance."

Scott also laughed, "I also ask you to help me with more advice."

Scott and Ravenclaw discussed and had some rules for what to do next.

After leaving Helena's study, he returned to the dormitory again and contacted Mr. Graves in front of Milton.

Milton had already told his father what happened before, so after the communication was connected, Mr. Graves kept thanking Scott.

Scott said a few polite words, and then asked him directly: "Is your father willing to give up the magic item?"

"This..."

Mr. Graves in the mirror turned his head with an embarrassed look.

"Impossible!"

A cold and hard voice sounded.

Afterwards, old Mr. Graves appeared on the communication screen.

He looked completely unrelated to adjectives such as "kind" and "kind". Rather, on the contrary, he was an old wizard who looked very old-fashioned and even a little mean.

"Don't have any ghost ideas, kid!"

He said to Scott unceremoniously.

"That thing belongs to the Graves family. It is the foundation of protecting the existence of the Graves family! No matter who it is, I will not give it away!"

"You misunderstood, Mr. Graves."

Scott still maintained politeness.

"It's not that I want your magic item. I just think that, just in case, it's not impossible to give the magic item to Medea. After all, the safety of the family is more important than a magic item."

"Humph!"

Old Mr. Graves snorted coldly.

"This is the Graves family's business!"

It means that he doesn't want to listen to Scott's instructions.

Listening to the conversation between the two, both Mr. Graves in the communication screen and Milton beside Scott looked very embarrassed.

"Father!"

Mr. Graves also tried to persuade.

"What Scott said is not unreasonable. Since we can't resist, handing over the things is also a way to save the family."

"Shut up!"

Old Mr. Graves's attitude was obviously unyielding.

"I don't have a weak son like you! If you are afraid, you can leave now, you can hide far away!"

Mr. Graves questioned, "Is the life of your family not as important as a magic item?"

"I didn't ask you to die!" Old Mr. Graves said, "I said you can go!"

"Father, why do you say that now?"

Mr. Graves said angrily.

"When you secretly sent my brother and his family away, you didn't think of Milton and me."

"You caused the trouble! You deserve it!"

Old Mr. Graves said mercilessly, then turned around and walked away.

"Sorry..."

Scott was stunned at this time because of the quarrel between the father and son, and hurriedly apologized to Mr. Graves.

"It's none of your business."

Mr. Graves looked very tired.

"To be honest, I have already persuaded my father before this, but unfortunately, he would rather die with the magic item than hand it over."

Scott comforted him a few words.

Finally, he reminded, "If there is any accident, please notify me. In addition to me, Dumbledore should also pay attention. If Medea wants to forcibly snatch it, we will stop her."

"Thank you."

After the call ended, Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

Milton began to thank him again, and he quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"My real intention is not only to ensure the safety of your father and grandfather in case of an emergency, but on the other hand, Medea getting the magic item may be good for me..."

He wanted to verify Helena's guess and see what Medea wanted to do after getting the magic item.

If Medea entered "Avalon" first, it would not be unacceptable to Scott.

Anyway, Scott has reached a cooperation with the Druids guarding the entrance to "Avalon" and can always grasp the movements there.

Scott could even try to go from light to dark on Medea's side.

After hearing Scott's idea, Milton asked worriedly, "What if she uses that magic item against you?"

Scott wasn't worried.

"Don't forget, that magic item requires a long time to accumulate strength in exchange for a single blow that can break any magic."

In other words, the power that can be called super magic is actually only one strike.

As long as you are prepared, it won't pose much of a threat to him.

"Unfortunately, my grandfather was unwilling to give up."

Milton said very guiltily.

"Sorry, Scott, I can't help. There's no way Grandpa will listen to me."

"It doesn't matter."

Scott waved his hand.

"There are other ways I can verify my guess."

After that, he deliberately didn't mention it again.

They were among those who returned to school one day early, and the others did not return to Hogwarts until the next night.

Before dinner started, all the students looked at Snape sitting on the teacher's bench in surprise.

"what happened?"

Eddie put on a mask of pain for a moment.

"Why is Snape back?"

Roger looked at Professor Slughorn, who was also sitting on the teacher's bench, "Professor Slughorn is still here!"

"I don't see Professor Moody."

Scott glanced at the teacher's desk.

"It seems that Snape has taken over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Oh..." Roger looked unhappy, "He finally got his wish."

Eddie touched his chin, "Snape or Slughorn, who will be the Head of Slytherin House?"

They were not the only ones discussing Snape in the auditorium at this moment.

Almost all students are curious about this.

Until Dumbledore stood up.

"Due to the busy schedule of the Ministry of Magic, Professor Moody has accepted the invitation from the Ministry of Magic and resigned from his position as professor."

He announced loudly in front of everyone.

"Let's welcome Professor Snape back to Hogwarts as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding.

But Snape was not a popular professor at all, which resulted in the applause from the other three houses being sparse except for the warm applause from Slytherin House.

Snape obviously didn't care about this. He just nodded very slightly, and the expression on his face didn't change at all.

"also……"

Dumbledore said again.

"Since Professor Slughorn wants to focus more on teaching Potions, Professor Snape will also take over the position of Head of Slytherin House."

This time it was Professor Sgrughorn who led the applause.

Snape was quite polite to the old professor and raised the glass in his hand to signal him.

"Oh, now Snape has another reason to favor Slytherin." Eddie complained dissatisfied.

Scott felt it didn't matter, "Even if he didn't serve as the head of Slytherin, he would favor Slytherin."

Roger smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we will graduate in half a year."

"yes……"

Milton's tone was a little sad.

"This is our last term at Hogwarts."
