The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"When I learned that more than twenty students had arrived at the hospital at the same time, my heart almost stopped. It gave me a huge shock!"

Are they alright?

Scott couldn't help but ask.

“They’re just exhausted because their magic was drained in an instant,” Professor Flitwick said. “They’ll be fine after they get some nutrition.”

"That's good." Scott breathed a sigh of relief once again.

As they spoke, Professor Flitwick accompanied him and Ms. Gray back to the college's common room.

After saying goodbye to Professor Flitwick and Ms. Gray, Scott, exhausted both physically and mentally, stumbled back to his dormitory.

He no longer cared about what kind of gift Medea had left him; he just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

When he pushed open the dormitory door, he found that neither Roger nor Eddie were asleep in bed.

Roger sat on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, while Eddie sat crookedly on the edge of the bed, wrapped in a quilt.

The sound of Scott pushing open the door immediately startled them awake.

"Scott!"

Eddie jumped up suddenly, but tripped over the blanket he was wrapped in and fell straight onto the carpet.

"You're back!"

Roger also stood up, forgetting to mock Eddie, and quickly checked on Scott's condition.

"I'm fine," Scott forced a smile.

Eddie stood up and leaned closer to look at him. "You don't look good!"

"I'm just too tired."

Scott waved his hand.

Milton is fine too, he's just unconscious.

As he spoke, he stumbled to the bedside, not bothering to take off his clothes and shoes, and threw himself onto the bed, falling asleep in an instant.

Chapter 147 News Report, An Unsettling Calm

When Scott woke up, he found his dorm room empty.

He threw off the covers and sat up, only to realize that he hadn't even taken off his clothes and shoes.

Thinking back to the scene before he fell asleep, it was probably Roger or Eddie who covered him with the blanket.

He couldn't help but rub his temples, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time; it was already afternoon.

Looks like I've missed another day of class.

At this moment, although his spirit had been restored through sleep, his body felt weak and listless.

Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Eddie ran in with a newspaper in his hand.

"you're awake!"

He ran up to Scott, waving the newspaper in his hand, and handed it to him.

"Come and see today's newspaper!"

"Ok?"

Scott took the newspaper from him, but didn't look at it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Have you gone to see Milton? How are they?"

“It’s alright.” Eddie waved his hand. “Milton and the others are already awake. Roger is at the school hospital with his girlfriend.”

"That's good."

Scott looked down, unfolded the Daily Prophet in his hand, and glanced at the headline.

Dumbledore's grave negligence! Numerous Hogwarts students injured, two wizards dead!

This title...

Scott raised an eyebrow.

That's a unique angle.

He quickly checked the contents of the report.

[Reported by Rita Skeeter, special correspondent for this newspaper.]

Last night, a horrifying incident occurred at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

This incident resulted in dozens of students falling into a coma and two adult wizards being killed!

It is reported that the two adult wizards who died were Brandon Yaxley, heir to the Yaxley family, and Gilderoy Lockhart, professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The severity of this incident is chilling, and I immediately sought to understand the situation…

According to a current student, students from various colleges suddenly left their dormitories last night and were later found unconscious in the school hospital.

The cause of death of the two adult wizards is currently unknown!

What exactly did they go through?

Was Hogwarts subjected to a terrifying attack by a dark wizard?

Why did Brandon Yaxley, who held no position at Hogwarts, die mysteriously at the school?

Does the ancient Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry still have the power to protect all its students?

Did Dumbledore, the world's greatest wizard, become too old and incapacitated, leading to such a major mistake?

As of now, neither the Ministry of Magic nor Hogwarts has offered any explanation for this matter!

The Yaxley family is reportedly deeply saddened by Brandon's death and has stated that they have filed a lawsuit against Wizengamo.

Faced with this situation, I went to Hogwarts several times to conduct interviews, adhering to the attitude of pursuing the truth and serving the public, but was firmly refused.

Is there some unknown secret hidden in this?

As a journalist with a conscience, I believe that a great reputation is not an excuse to cover up mistakes. Journalists have the right to conduct interviews, and the vast majority of wizards need to know the truth!

The Ministry of Magic should also carefully consider whether to continue appointing an elderly man who has repeatedly made mistakes to continue the important task of educating the future of the magical world.

For the safety of the students and to put the wizards at ease, I have decided to conduct a follow-up investigation to uncover the truth.

Please continue to follow Rita Skeeter's follow-up reports.

"Tsk."

Scott put away the newspaper.

Good heavens, it's that woman Rita Skeeter again. She's a real master at stirring up trouble.

This puts a lot of pressure on Dumbledore.

Scott suspected that the Ministry of Magic would try every means to suppress the news of Medea, or that they simply did not believe in Medea's existence.

They will shift all the pressure onto the old principal.

This is also the method the Ministry of Magic used after Voldemort's resurrection in the "original book".

After all, the Minister of Magic's only need was for the wizarding world to maintain a semblance of stability, and he didn't care even if it was just self-deception.

However, Scott himself was not without doubts.

Dumbledore's performance last night was utterly disastrous.

He didn't manage to stop either the deaths of the two male witches or Medea's escape.

On the contrary, he listened with great interest when Medea was telling stories.

This seems to suggest a serious lack of effort.

Of course, Scott only thought about it and didn't directly point it out to Dumbledore.

He didn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter.

In his view, whether Dumbledore really made a mistake or did it intentionally, it was best not to involve himself in this matter.

Although he was one of the main parties involved in this incident, he was just an innocent 14-year-old student!

His biggest concern now is Ravenclaw's next mission and the gift Medea left him.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Eddie, "Eddie, were any Aurors coming to investigate at school today?"

“Maybe,” Eddie shrugged. “But I didn’t see it.”

“Even you haven’t heard a whisper? Then they must not have come,” Scott concluded.

He felt very hungry, so he took some biscuits out of the cupboard and ate them.

“Anyway, Headmaster Dumbledore didn’t show up at school today,” Eddie said, grabbing a cookie and eating it. “Nobody knows where he went.”

Scott found it strange that the Aurors hadn't come to the school to investigate such a big incident.

This is also unreasonable, and it seems to be related to Dumbledore's departure.

Did Medea take over the Ministry of Magic?

Scott let his mind wander and speculate wildly.

In fact, the current situation made him feel that this calm was somewhat eerie.

Of course, the fact that the Aurors didn't come was a good thing for Scott.

Because if the Aurors come to the school to investigate, they will definitely question him, one of the parties involved.

He avoids such things whenever possible.

He knew very well that if this kind of thing happened too often, it wouldn't be good for him.

Even if you are always found innocent and manage to escape unscathed, it will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction and suspicion from others.

Scott didn't want people to say, "Why are you everywhere?"

Scott sighed and asked Eddie, "What are people saying at school now?"

"There are all sorts of opinions."

Eddie shook his head and said.
