The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Carol continued her story, and Scott finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that after Medea took the initiative to establish contact with Carlo, she simply used music to increase his magical activity level, and easily won his admiration and worship.

Scott was not surprised by this.

When Voldemort rose to power, he knew to use the banner of being the heir to Slytherin to garner the support of pure-blood wizards.

It's easy to see why the identity of being Slytherin's daughter was very attractive to pure-blood wizards.

Especially for a crooked-mouthed, delusional teenager like Carlo.

After a few days apart, Scott felt that Carol was now taking on the shape of Lady Slytherin.

According to Carlo's account, Medea immediately contacted Carlo secretly after learning that Lady Grey had commissioned Scott to start the challenge.

In other words... in the afternoon, Medea was dealing with herself and Ms. Gray while simultaneously using Carlo to manipulate things?

Scott looked at this strangely.

After receiving Medea's orders, Carlo immediately contacted the Yaxley family.

Recently, among several families associated with Death Eaters and the Dark Lord, the Yaxley family's intention to kill Scott is clearly no secret.

Medea wanted to take advantage of this.

Yaxley wanted to kill Scott to gain benefits, while Medea wanted Scott to fail in his challenge and thus lose his eligibility to challenge. It was a win-win joint operation.

In short, with Carlo acting as a messenger, Medea and Yaxley quickly reached an agreement and formulated an action plan.

The original plan was simply for Carlo to notify the eight-eyed spiders in advance so that they could prepare. Then he and someone from the Yaxley family would guard the spider nest and wait for Scott to arrive.

But Professor Flitwick's arrival disrupted their plans.

However, upon receiving the news, Yaxley quickly found a mysterious helper who successfully made Professor Flitwick and Ms. Grey disappear into the Forbidden Forest together.

It's worth noting that, presumably to prevent outside wizards from poaching in the Forbidden Forest, Apparition is not possible within Hogwarts' Forbidden Forest.

Yaxley's efficiency in getting things done is somewhat terrifying.

To achieve such efficiency, the only methods Scott could think of were the Portkey and the teleportation magic of the house-elves.

However… Scott wasn’t sure if these wizards would still trust the magic of house-elves after what happened in Travers.

"Perhaps we should stay with those eight-eyed spiders."

He heard Carlo say that.

"We can take him down by ambushing him while he's fighting the eight-eyed spider, and then let the spider eat his corpse. It's quick, clean, and leaves no trace."

"Then we also have to deal with those eight-eyed spiders who know we're the murderers? I don't want to do that kind of troublesome work."

Yaxley said dismissively.

“You know, those big guys can talk, and they might tell Dumbledore the truth.”

"If Trollope dies in the mouth of the spiders, won't they tell Dumbledore about my notification to them?"

"To maintain secrecy, we still have to kill those spiders!" Carlo asked doubtfully.

"No, that's just you, boy."

Yaxley has turned hostile again.

"I did not appear in front of the spiders."

"you……"

Carlo's voice sounded extremely shocked.

"Look on the bright side, Elijah."

Yaxley's voice was still warm and friendly.

"It doesn't matter if you can't kill those spiders. You didn't kill that mud-breed yourself, so no one can convict you."

“But I’ll be expelled from school!” Carlo said angrily.

"Oh……"

Yaxley drew out a long note.

"Then let's pray to Merlin that the Mudblood will kill all the spiders and come here."

His voice suddenly turned cold.

“If he comes here, I will kill him with my own hands, and then kill the last remaining eight-eyed spider.”

As Scott listened to these words and looked at the two wizards who wanted to kill him, his most immediate thought was, of course, to kill them.

But he managed to suppress his murderous intent.

Dumbledore has arrived.

Chapter 138 The Joyful Spell That Grants Happiness

Scott wouldn't dare kill someone in front of Dumbledore.

At this moment, Dumbledore stood precisely outside Scott's former magical perception range.

He just stood there watching, adopting a bystander stance, without any intention of taking action.

Scott knew that he probably wanted to see what he would do.

Tsk.

Although somewhat annoyed, Scott couldn't help but feel grateful to Medea.

If it weren't for her musical magic expanding my sensory range, I probably would have been doomed!

Kill someone in front of Dumbledore?

Then he would definitely send me to Azkaban.

Scott took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, finally managing to calm his lingering fear.

Regardless of the true nature of the world, the magical world appears to be a society governed by the rule of law.

but……

On the bright side, now that Dumbledore has arrived, Scott doesn't need to be too careful.

With that thought in mind, he gripped his wand and took a few more steps forward.

He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The dazzling red light of the Stunning Curse pierced through the deep darkness and instantly appeared before Axley.

Scott even caught a glimpse of Yaxley and Carol's shocked faces for a moment.

Porphyrin.

The Stunning Curse struck Yaxley in the chest before he could react.

Why is that sound?

Scott was somewhat surprised.

But the next second, a blinding green light shot out.

Avada Kedavra!

It was Yaxley's voice.

Scott immediately tensed up.

But he didn't panic; instead, he calmly waved his wand.

"Grow bigger quickly!"

Suddenly, a horizontal tree branch ahead rapidly expanded, blocking the incoming death curse.

Bang!

An explosion rang out, and the tree branch was shattered into pieces.

"Crushed to pieces!"

"Armor protects the body."

Scott waved his wand again, blocking the flying sawdust and Carlo's shattering spell.

Then, he quickly ran to the other side.

“Looks like you’re more troublesome than I thought, little Mudblood,” Yaxley said. “Distortion Charm? I didn’t expect you to be not only a Transfiguration genius, but also capable of using such a spell.”

Scott didn't say anything, but just moved slowly and quietly.

The Illusion Charm, which is not as effective as the Invisibility Cloak, is particularly effective in this dark environment.

The other party probably doesn't know his location now, and he has no intention of revealing it by speaking out.

The most troublesome thing now is the magical item on Yaxley that automatically defends against the Stunning Curse. Scott doesn't know if it can automatically defend against other spells as well.

"Hidden?"

Yaxley said with a smile.

"But it's no use!"

He waved his wand, and a terrifying ball of flame landed on the ground, then spread rapidly.

"This is the Fiery Curse!"

Carlo screamed in terror.

"Are you crazy? This is a forest!"

Yaxley did not answer; he directed the ever-growing fire to spread outwards.

At that moment, Scott was very glad that he had kept moving.

He had already reached the rear of Yaxley.

Looking at Yaxley's back, he waved his wand, whispered a spell, and used an unexpected magic.

A golden light struck Yaxley in the back in an instant.
