The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

He heard voices behind the spider's nest.

"If you ask me, that kid hasn't come over yet. Could he have been eaten by those eight-eyed spiders?"

It was the voice of a stranger.

"Isn't that even better? We don't have to lift a finger."

The voice sounded familiar, and Scott immediately made a judgment.

It's Elijah Caro, the Slytherin with the crooked smile, Caitlin Roll's cousin.

At this moment, the unfamiliar male voice complained, "I really don't understand why I came here to do this kind of thing!"

"Ah……"

Carol's laughter successfully conjured up an image of his crooked mouth in Scott's mind.

“This was an operation spearheaded by your Yaxley family,” Carlo said with displeasure.

“Of course,” the male voice said, “but what I mean is, is it really necessary for me to personally deal with just a Mudblood student?”

The Yaxley family?

Scott recalled the intelligence he had previously asked Eddie to investigate.

The Yaxley family, one of the so-called Twenty-Eight Holy Families, appears to have had several marriage alliances with the Travers family throughout history.

Carlo continued, "Stop complaining. I'm taking a risk. You see, I've offended Professor Snape, and he's been keeping a close eye on me lately."

Yaxley asked, "Offended Snape? Just because you went to teach that Mudblood a lesson?"

“No,” Carlo said dejectedly, “it’s because our actions forced him to deduct points from Slytherin House.”

"Serves him right."

Yaxley's voice sounded somewhat gloating, "I heard that the four of you together actually lost to that Mudblood?"

“Don’t underestimate him!” Carlo warned. “Although he’s a Mudblood, his Transfiguration abilities are incredibly powerful.”

"Transfiguration?"

Yaxley scoffed.

"I don't think a student's Transfiguration can play any role in combat."

“You’ll see when you do,” Carlo said. “But it’s also possible you won’t see it.”

There was even a hint of regret in his tone.

Yaxley, however, was quite dismissive. "Why bother with all those fancy tricks when a single killing curse can take care of an enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Scott finally began to take action.

He turned around and changed direction, preparing to go around the spider's nest.

To his ears, the two men's conversation was still going on.

At this point, Carlo revealed more information, "To be honest, I didn't expect your Yaxley family to be willing to let that person take action, especially against Professor Flitwick. Aren't you afraid of offending him?"

"Hmph, so what?" Yaxley said smugly. "That's just Flitwick, not Dumbledore, and he wouldn't know who it is."

Upon hearing this, Scott narrowed his eyes.

It seems the other party has a lot of confidence in the wizard who is in charge of dealing with Professor Flitwick.

"I didn't expect Travers to agree to your proposal."

Scott heard Carol say something sarcastic again.

"If you kill the murderer who killed his daughter, the Travers family's property and estate will be temporarily placed under your control."

Yaxley chuckled smugly twice. "My cousin is currently in Azkaban, and as relatives, it's only right that we help him maintain his wealth. This is also proof of the good relationship between the Yaxley family and the Travers family."

“As far as I know, that Mudblood isn’t the murderer,” Carlo said mockingly. “You’re being far too perfunctory in helping your relatives.”

Yaxley countered, "Jasmine's death was an accident; there was no real killer, but that Mudblood was the primary cause of her death."

“I hope Travers will be satisfied,” Carlo said sarcastically.

“I’m telling you, kid…” Yaxley’s voice sounded a little angry, “Aren’t you being a bit too bold in front of me?”

Immediately afterwards, Scott heard a "snap" sound.

Yax said in a commanding tone, "Don't smile at me like that!"

"you!"

Carlo's voice was filled with shock, as if he couldn't understand why the other party's attitude had suddenly changed.

“Speaking of which, I am your elder, Elijah!” Yaxley said coldly. “Don’t think that just because I’m kind to you, you can act recklessly.”

“I’m just your collaborator, not your subordinate!” Carlo said angrily.

“You’re not the heir to the Carlo family, Elijah.”

Yaxley smiled dismissively.

"Neither your uncle Amicus nor your aunt Alecto will make an enemy of me for your sake."

“I was the mastermind behind this operation!” Carlo retorted defiantly. “I received the favor of that lord!”

Tsk.

Sure enough, Medea secretly extended far more than just one tentacles.

Scott thought.

It seems that Carlo was also Medea's tool.

"You are nothing but that person's tool, Elijah."

Yaxley said the same thing.

"As for cooperating with that person, that should be left to us adults. You just need to pass on the message."

Chapter 137 The Ins and Outs of the Matter

Medea is quite the troublemaker.

Scott remarked with emotion.

How long has this lady been awake? And she's already starting to win over the pure-blood families outside Hogwarts.

All I can say is... she truly lives up to her reputation as Slytherin's daughter.

I don’t know what she’s trying to do. Does she want to rule the British magical world like her descendant Tom?

Scott is getting closer and closer.

Soon, he saw two blurry black figures in the distance.

One of them appeared to be sitting on a rock, while the other stood in front of him.

He didn't act rashly, but instead prepared to listen to what they had to say.

There may be some unexpected gains.

At this moment, Carlo, who was somewhat bewildered by Yaxley's sudden change of attitude, spoke up again.

“I understand, Uncle Yaxley,” he replied, seemingly obediently.

However, even Scott could tell that there was insincerity in his tone.

But Yaxley is clearly not a normal person either.

“You are a promising young wizard, Elijah,” he praised kindly.

Then he stood up and patted Carlo on the shoulder.

"To be honest, I admire you."

His tone was incredibly friendly.

“You did a great job this time. If you ask me, you really should communicate more with other pure-blood wizards outside the Carlo family.”

Then, he unexpectedly changed the subject, subtly hinting at Carlo.

Judging from his tone, it seemed that as long as Carlo befriended him, he could even help Carlo seize the position of head of the Carlo family.

Before long, the young Carlo was completely captivated by the other party's superb rhetoric.

He was completely swayed by Yaxley's words, almost considering the older wizard a close friend, seemingly forgetting how the other had just turned on him.

Immediately afterward, Yaxley began to probe for information.

He kept praising Caro's talent and led him to boast about how he had managed to get close to the Slytherin girl.

Hearing this, Scott was already amazed by Yaxley's smooth and eloquent performance.

What a talent!

Indeed, wizards from pure-blood families are not to be underestimated.

Scott was filled with admiration as he listened to Carlo's exaggerated boasts.

It turns out that Carlo and Medea made contact on the very night he and Stryner attacked Scott.

“Although that Mudblood defeated us unexpectedly, and although he is indeed stronger than me now, I have a better future than him,” Carlo boasted.

"Lady Slytherin values ​​my potential more!"

Scott knew he must be grinning crookedly at that moment.

“I heard the voice of salvation in my most humiliating moment!” Caro exclaimed fervently. “Of the five people present, only Ms. Slytherin contacted me.”

“And that Mudblood,” Yaxley reminded him.

"No! That Mudblood found Lady Slytherin with the help of the Ravenclaw ghost!"

"Carlo said indignantly."

I'm afraid it's more than that.

Scott wanted to tell him that Medea had contacted far more people than just him and himself.

"It was because of that ghost that Lady Slytherin faced the Mudblood challenge..."
