The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"I've accepted reality!"

"Tsk."

Scott raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

"Do you think I did this for Milton?"

Is he really such a warm-hearted person in his friends' eyes?

Am I thinking too highly of him?

"This is none of your business."

He said this to Milton, glancing at Ms. Gray in passing.

"I am fulfilling the commission that Ms. Gray gave me."

Ms. Gray nodded. "Scott is right, you don't need to stop him."

“Really?” Milton stared at Scott.

“Really,” Scott said with certainty.

"What does Ms. Gray want you to do?"

Milton glanced at Medea and Lady Grey, then stared intently at Scott and asked.

"Release the oath from Medea's control."

Scott was telling the truth.

"Because the oath is constantly draining the magic of Hogwarts Castle."

Before his friends could ask, he revealed the details of the challenge that would break the oath.

"Forbidden Forest?"

"Eight-eyed spider!"

Fred and George exclaimed in surprise.

"so cool!"

“That’s not cool at all!” Milton shouted. “That’s too dangerous!”

“No, you have to trust Scott,” Fred said, shaking his head.

George also laughed and said, "He wouldn't agree to do something like this if he wasn't confident and there were benefits involved."

"Too."

That's not wrong.

Roger and Eddie nodded in agreement.

"Thank you so much for understanding me like this," Scott said irritably.

"You're welcome."

The four of them said in unison.

Milton knew Scott no less than they did, and now that he had shaken off his panic, he had become much calmer.

"Are you really going to do it, Scott?" he asked seriously again.

“Of course,” Scott said with a smile. “Don’t worry.”

"Are you done?"

At this point, Medea said somewhat impatiently.

"My patience is limited."

She looked at Scott coldly.

"If you are not going to continue the challenge, please leave as soon as possible!"

"Come on, let's continue with the contract we just made."

Scott reached out his hand again.

"Humph."

Medea snorted and raised her hand to grasp it.

The red light enveloped their clasped hands once more.

Medea then began to state the conditions that both parties to the contract should abide by.

Scott listened attentively.

"...If Scott Trolop can single-handedly and completely eliminate all the eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest before tomorrow, the challenge will be considered a success."

"Upon successful completion of the challenge, Medea Slytherin shall, in accordance with the covenant, release Medea Slytherin from the oath she has made with Rowena Ravenclaw."

"If the challenge fails, Scott Trollope may not attempt it again."

Medea then looked at Scott again.

"So, Scott Trolop, do you agree that the contract is valid?"

“I, Scott Trollope, acknowledge the validity of the contract,” Scott replied.

“I, Medea Slytherin, acknowledge the validity of this contract.”

Medea then said something, and the red light enveloping their hands gradually faded.

Scott withdrew his hand and looked at it.

He could not see or perceive anything unusual.

"Isn't it an unbreakable vow? I'd like to be a witness one more time."

Scott heard Fred say this with some regret.

“The ‘witness’ to this contract will be Hogwarts Castle,” Medea said, dissatisfied. “It will be more secure than an unbreakable vow!”

After saying that, she turned around haughtily and walked towards the wall where the organ was.

"You may leave!" her cold voice rang out. "Don't bother me again until the contract is complete!"

"go!"

Ms. Gray said something and floated towards the exit first.

"Let's go."

Scott called to his friends.

"Hey, Scott."

Fred quickly moved closer to him and put his hand on his shoulder.

"You've discovered a new secret, but you haven't told us!"

“This is a betrayal of the great friendship between George and Fred,” George chimed in.

He appeared on Scott's other side and put his hand on Scott's shoulder.

“But your roommates all know.” Fred pretended to wipe away tears.

George said, “Perhaps Gryffindor doesn’t deserve the sincere friendship of Ravenclaw.”

"You all knew?" Scott asked.

“That’s right,” Fred said with a grin. “Milton was too hasty; he couldn’t keep a secret.”

"So Roger just told us everything," George laughed.

Fred was clearly very interested in this place. "Isn't it amazing? You can trade anything here."

“I think Percy could trade his voice for a more likable personality,” George said.

Fred chimed in, "That way he'll become a popular mute."

"Oh!" His eyes lit up. "That's the perfect Percy I can imagine!"

George then suggested, "Perhaps Ron could trade his height for a bit of wisdom?"

“That’s right, that way our big, goofy little brother will become a bit more likable.” Fred nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, the group emerged from the exit and stood on a platform made of giant stones.

"Perhaps the two of you could exchange something."

Scott, who had been listening the whole way, said to the twins in an annoyed tone.

“It’s a pity that George and I are already quite perfect,” Fred shook his head with feigned regret. “We don’t need to exchange anything.”

“Otherwise, I’d also love to experience what it’s like to make a vowed deal.” George nodded in complete agreement.

Scott didn't want to pay them any attention.

At that moment, Mrs. Grey turned to look at him.

“Scott,” she asked, “are you sure?”

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Perhaps you should let Frivi go with you, so you can get help in case of emergency. I hope you won't be reckless, because there's no punishment for failing the challenge."

"I understand."

Scott nodded.

He doesn't refuse to add an extra layer of insurance for himself.

Hearing their conversation, Scott's friends breathed a sigh of relief.

With Professor Flitwick by his side, Scott would never be in any real danger, no matter what.

“Now you go to dinner.” Mrs. Grey floated upwards. “I’ll go inform Flitwick.”

Chapter 132 seems to have been tricked.

After dinner, Scott returned to his dorm, changed into his boots, and went with his friends to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Not long after, Ms. Gray and Professor Flitwick arrived.
