The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Roger, of course, couldn't give a satisfactory answer to Eddie's question.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell Milton about this." He looked very conflicted.

“There’s no need,” Scott said.

Roger and Eddie both looked at him.

Scott said seriously, "Let's not even talk about whether the musical talent that Cachini traded was Milton's. Even if it was... can we take it back? Milton sold it himself."

“Even so,” Roger sighed, “I still feel there’s something…”

"Don't overthink it." Scott felt that this was something that really didn't need to be worried about.

Moreover, since Milton has already come to a complete understanding, there is no need to bring it up again.

Roger sighed again, "Kachini's magic has diminished considerably."

"Could she have used magic to get it?" Eddie asked, somewhat puzzled. "What was she thinking?"

Roger made a face as if he had a toothache. "Kachini thinks he won't participate in battles, so he only needs enough magic for daily life."

That's a bit naive.

Scott disagreed as well.

Do you entrust your safety to a peaceful society?

Anyone who didn't know better would think that the current security situation in the magical world has surpassed that of their former homeland.

Chapter 150 The Auror Finally Arrives

What happened next was exactly as Scott had predicted.

Although Dumbledore announced Medea's news at Hogwarts, the Daily Prophet treated it as a joke the following day.

The headline of the day was like this—

The Hogwarts Massacre: The Ministry of Magic urges wizards to await the official investigation results.

This report was clearly commissioned by the Ministry of Magic.

In the article, officials from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement claimed that the case was "still under investigation," but that "there are already some leads," and urged everyone to wait for official news and "not to be easily swayed by rumors."

At the long table during breakfast time, Eddie placed the newspaper he had finished reading on the table.

He pointed to the front page headline and said, "This report has absolutely no substantive content; its main purpose is to refute the news announced by Dumbledore."

"They claim their investigation has made progress, but they haven't released any updates." Roger smiled sarcastically.

“They didn’t do any investigation at all!” Eddie scoffed. “We haven’t seen a single Auror at Hogwarts!”

At that moment, Scott was already flipping to the next page of the newspaper in his hand.

"The Daughter of Slytherin Reborn? A Look Back at Dumbledore's Lies Over the Years"

This article by top journalist Rita Skeeter further criticizes Dumbledore's "lying" behavior, stating that this "senile old man" has done it "more than once."

She also listed other nonsense uttered by Dumbledore in the article.

She believes that Dumbledore's most outrageous lie was that he continued to warn students about the threat posed by the Man of Void more than a decade after Void's disappearance.

“Dumbledore is clearly still basking in his past glory,” Rita Skeeter commented. “He wants his students to idolize him and still see him as their spiritual leader in the fight against the Void.”

The second outrageous lie the reporter listed was that Dumbledore referred to the perpetrator of the "Hogwarts tragedy" as the daughter of Slytherin.

"He created a character that does not exist in modern times, a fictional legendary person, in order to attract attention."

Rita Skeeter's biting satire.

"He hoped that such sensational news would divert everyone's attention from the problems at Hogwarts, but no rational wizard would believe such an obviously false lie."

As for the third most outrageous lie Dumbledore told, it was that he "repeatedly praised a pile of cockroaches as the best candy."

Rita Skeeter disagrees with such nonsense, believing that "everyone knows that honey candy is the most delicious."

"..."

Upon seeing this, Scott couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He didn't continue reading, but instead flipped through the other pages of the newspaper, discovering that today's paper was full of multi-faceted commentary on the matter—

The Hogwarts Board of Governors convened, and Dumbledore may be removed from his position as headmaster.

"A Discussion of Why the Daughters of Slytherin Could Not Live for a Thousand Years from the Perspective of Magical Theory"

Parents of current Hogwarts students are calling on the school to strengthen its security management.

Insider information: A Hogwarts student believes the killer is an unknown magical creature.

"Wow, what a grand display."

Scott sighed.

This situation is not good. How will Dumbledore resolve it?

There is widespread anxiety within the school, and if some strong measures are not taken in time, more trouble may arise.

“My mother wrote to me and said she wants to bring me home.”

“My dad said the same thing.”

“Maybe I’ll transfer schools. Beauspatton in France is a good option; my cousin goes to school there.”

"I want to go to Durmstrang."

Scott heard the students around him talking amongst themselves, and some were even preparing to leave the college.

Just then, Professor Flitwick walked into the auditorium.

"Mr. Trollope!"

He stood at the auditorium door and waved to Scott.

Scott quickly stood up and walked over under everyone's gaze.

“The Minister of Magic has brought Aurors to the school,” Professor Flitwick said in a low voice. “Come with me; you need to go to Minerva’s office.”

"Okay, Professor."

Scott responded and followed Professor Flitwick out of the auditorium.

Did the Aurors still come?

“Professor,” he asked softly, “why are the Aurors only arriving today?”

“Ms. Slytherin stormed into the Ministry of Magic yesterday!” Professor Flitwick replied softly. “She was already gone when Dumbledore arrived.”

"what?"

Scott never expected that a sentence he made up yesterday would actually come true, while Dumbledore didn't mention it last night.

"What did she do at the Ministry of Magic?" he asked curiously.

Professor Flitwick shook his head. "I don't know. The Ministry of Magic has blocked the news."

"What about today's newspaper?"

Scott was speechless; he suspected that the Aurors' visit to the school today was just a formality.

Professor Flitwick looked furious. "Oh, the newspapers are full of nonsense today! Those damned things!"

"Why did they do that?" Scott wondered. "What good would it do to offend Dumbledore in this situation?"

"They really thought it was just a witch posing as Slytherin's daughter! And they knew that offending Dumbledore like that wasn't so terrible, and wouldn't cost them anything!"

Professor Flitwick said through gritted teeth.

"If a crisis arises in the wizarding world, Dumbledore himself will still step up!"

Scott was speechless.

The Ministry of Magic's actions are utterly shameless.

However, he still wanted to clarify, "Are they trying to deny Medea's existence? What am I supposed to say later?"

Professor Flitwick looked up at him and said, "Just tell the truth."

"Ok."

Scott nodded.

The two soon arrived at Professor McGonagall's office door.

At this moment, two Aurors who looked very young were guarding outside the door.

Upon meeting Professor Flitwick, they all smiled respectfully and even helped open the office door.

Professor Flitwick nodded and went into the office first.

Scott followed behind him and immediately spotted two familiar faces.

It was Shackle and Williamson, the feuding Auror duo, who both turned to look at him.

On the other sofa, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were talking to a middle-aged wizard with gray curly hair and a stocky build.

That must be Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic in England.

Professor McGonagall's expression was serious, her lips were tightly pursed, and she looked very unhappy.

Dumbledore and Fudge, on the other hand, seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, and they even laughed from time to time.

It seemed that the slander and defamation in the newspapers had nothing to do with him, and his mood was completely unaffected.

This scene struck Scott as somewhat eerie.

"Mr. Trollope."

Professor McGonagall stood up immediately upon seeing Scott.

She walked to the door and instructed Scott, "Scott, the Aurors will ask you some questions in a little while. Just tell them the truth."

Chapter 151 A Very Vengeful Person

After listening to Professor McGonagall's instructions, Scott nodded.
