The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

He quickly recounted the events of the night before to the two Aurors.

Of course, he omitted the part about his battle with the eight-eyed spider, and focused on the fact that Yaxley and Carlo wanted to kill him.

Perhaps because the three professors were present, the two Aurors did not make things difficult for him at all.

They simply made him recount what had happened.

As for that Minister of Magic?

The current leader of the British magical community did not spare Scott even a glance.

Scott left Professor McGonagall's office shortly afterward.

He walked quickly down the corridor; class was about to start, and he had to get to the Ancient Magic Script classroom.

He kept replaying the look Williamson had given him in his mind.

Kingsley Shackle was a seasoned Auror, and Scott couldn't glean anything from his expression.

But the young Williamson failed to hide his emotions.

His gaze toward Scott held a mixture of condescending sympathy and disdain.

Especially when Scott talked about Yaxley and Caro.

It seems that the trial of Carlo may not go so smoothly.

Scott narrowed his eyes.

Thankfully, Brandon Yaxley is already dead!

However, Scott suspected that the Yaxley family would not let the matter rest.

They originally intended to use Scott's life to seize the Traverse family's wealth, and now they've lost a family heir in the assassination attempt on Scott...

Although Brandon Yaxley's death was actually unrelated to Scott, it's easy to imagine that those domineering pure-blood families wouldn't reason with a Muggle-born wizard like him.

Given their style, Yaxley's death has probably already been blamed on Scott by his family.

It's still not enough!

Scott thought as he walked briskly.

My abilities are still insufficient!

Now, if he is facing a skilled adult wizard, he is confident that he can win when there is only one enemy, but he will have to struggle when there are two.

However, if he were to be besieged by even more enemies, he would surely perish on the spot.

Having not yet learned Apparition, he wouldn't have been able to escape in that situation.

Scott arrived at the ancient runes classroom before class started, forcing himself to focus on the lesson.

By noon, he couldn't help but start thinking about his safety again, and he was even somewhat absent-minded while eating.

He was planning in his mind how to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Although improving one's strength is not something that can be achieved overnight, in addition to continuing his previous study plan, he actually had two unknown gains.

Firstly, regarding Ravenclaw, if he completes just one more commission, he can receive instruction from Ravenclaw.

Although he wasn't a real Ravenclaw, just imagining the knowledge his founder possessed was enough to make him happy.

Scott also knew that this was not a quick way to improve his strength.

Leaving aside how difficult Ravenclaw's next commission will be, just the process of improving one's strength through learning is a relatively long one.

The other gain that Scott truly pinned his hopes on was Medea's gift.

Compared to Ravenclaw, Medea was an unconventional person.

Scott thought that perhaps the gift she left behind would be a pleasant surprise for him.

Unfortunately, although he wanted to get the gift as soon as possible, he dared not make any rash moves.

Hogwarts is currently in the spotlight, and its music room may also be under constant scrutiny.

If he sneaks in and opens the hidden chamber that no one knows about, he will be in big trouble if he is discovered.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Scott, despite his anxiety, had not dared to make any rash moves these past two days.

After thinking for a while, Scott realized that for the time being, he could only improve his skills step by step through studying.

Despite the sense of urgency, he didn't become too anxious; instead, he quickly calmed down after reaching a conclusion.

Ultimately, there are still several months until summer vacation.

During this period, as long as he doesn't enter the Forbidden Forest or go shopping in Hogsmeade, he won't encounter any danger.

As for the summer holidays, Professor Flitwick will also send him away from England.

His current sense of urgency stems from nothing more than caution.

Moreover, being protected by others is never as good as having your own strength.

Having calmed down completely, Scott decided to complete Ravenclaw's next commission over the weekend.

Medea's gift could only be given when the time was right.

Wait until the situation has largely calmed down before looking for an opportunity.

That evening, Scott went to Professor Flitwick's office again.

Before starting his spell practice, Scott decided to find out about Yaxley and Carol.

"Professor, do you know where Elijah Caro is?" he asked Professor Frivius directly. "And what about the Yaxley family, who attacked you? What will be done about them?"

After Scott raised this question, Professor Flitwick's expression quickly became somewhat complicated.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Carlo is imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic's dungeons, as for Axley..."

He looked at Scott with an apologetic gaze.

“I have no evidence to prove that they were the ones who attacked me, and Brandon Yaxley is dead. The Ministry of Magic is currently unwilling to investigate this matter further.”

“The Ministry of Magic’s dungeons?” Scott raised an eyebrow. “Not Azkaban?”

Professor Flitwick shook his head again.

"The Ministry of Magic's dungeons are places where wizards suspected of committing crimes are temporarily imprisoned."

He explained.

"As for Azkaban, only criminals from the Wizengamot trial are imprisoned in that terrible prison."

Scott nodded in understanding. "That's right, Carlo hasn't been tried yet."

He then asked, "Do I need to be present at the court hearing?"

“Of course, you can wait for the court notice,” Professor Flitwick said somewhat awkwardly. “They can’t worry about Carlo right now.”

I'm afraid we won't be able to wait that long.

Scott drew his conclusion.

Medea has now disappeared, and those people in the Ministry of Magic are just busy doing nothing for show.

How could they possibly neglect Carlo?

It's just an excuse.

"it is good."

Scott seemed oblivious to anything amiss and nodded in response.

Judging from Professor Flitwick's behavior, it seems unlikely that the Ministry of Magic will punish Carlo according to the law.

In this way, Carlo will not receive any other punishment besides being expelled from school.

Apart from Brandon, who was unlucky enough to be killed by Medea, the rest of the Yaxley family will escape unscathed.

Scott knew, of course, that Professor Flitwick was lying because he was afraid of doing something impulsive out of resentment.

After all, Scott's situation is quite dangerous right now, and he doesn't dare to run away casually for the time being.

But Professor Flitwick was really bad at lying, and Scott saw right through his lying expression.

Fortunately, Scott didn't intend to expose the professor's well-intentioned lie, since he had already anticipated it.

However, he wasn't going to let this go so easily.

Scott took a deep breath and thought to himself.

He's a very vengeful person!

Chapter 152, Second Request

The major events at Hogwarts seemed to have come to a hasty and chaotic end thanks to the Ministry of Magic's deliberate delays.

Scott was unaware of the efforts Dumbledore had made, but ultimately the Daily Prophet published a wanted poster of Medea, identifying her as the murderer of the "Hogwarts massacre."

However, the newspapers did not publish her name, but instead referred to her as "an unknown, crazy, and evil witch."

It seems the Ministry of Magic doesn't believe she's a Slytherin girl.

Of course, the newspaper article also warned all the wizards that this witch was very dangerous.

Scott believes this was probably also Dumbledore's doing.

Of course, given the Ministry of Magic's attempts to downplay the situation, it's hard to say how much weight this warning actually carries.

After the newspaper was published, Medea seemed to have quickly become a star in the magical world thanks to her unique beauty.

Even among the students of Hogwarts, she had a group of admirers.

It truly became a scene where "one's values ​​follow one's appearance."

This reaction undoubtedly surprised Scott greatly.

He couldn't help but recall the news he had read in his previous life: some vicious serial killers in Europe and America had a group of crazy fans.

He couldn't help but think that if Voldemort hadn't been disfigured, he might not have had so many opponents.

Saturday morning.
