The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"Quiet!"

Professor Flitwick waved his hands.

Fortunately, this was Ravenclaw, and Professor Flitwick's prestige within the house was unmatched. The students immediately obeyed and quieted down.

Professor Flitwick then spoke in a serious tone.

"Another major event occurred tonight, and even Severus and I went with Albus to provide support!"

Scott's eyes narrowed upon hearing his words.

Is Medea up to something again?

Professor Flitwick continued, "That witch who escaped from Hogwarts a few days ago, the Slytherin daughter..."

really!

Scott thought to himself.

"...She led a group of men to attack the Sir Merlin Order's headquarters tonight!" Professor Flitwick said angrily.

The headquarters of the Sir Merlin Order?

Scott's eyes flickered.

The Order of Merlin was founded in the mid-11th century by the famous medieval wizard Merlin. It is the oldest and most prestigious magical organization in the wizarding world.

Wizards in the British magical world often consider it an honor to receive the Order of Merlin from the Order of Merlin.

Such an ancient magical organization must have an extraordinary headquarters.

Scott guessed that Medea was probably there for the magical source within the buildings.

Moreover, the letter he received today...

That letter was probably a reminder from Medea before the operation, giving him a chance to retrieve the gift.

The question remains: what will be the outcome of Medea's attack?

Chapter 161 Things Have Become Interesting

The students were stunned when they heard Professor Flitwick say that the famous Sir Merlin's headquarters had been attacked.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment for the first time.

Everyone's first reaction was—

"The Merlin Order actually has a base?"

"I've never heard of it..."

Perhaps noticing the confusion on the students' faces, Professor Flitwick said loudly, "That's right, the Merlin Order does have a residence!"

He explained to everyone, "That is a hall hidden by magic, and only wizards who have received the Order of Merlin, First Class, are qualified to go there to hold their award ceremony!"

“I never imagined such a place actually existed!” Eddie exclaimed in surprise. “I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to go there.”

"Oh."

Roger, perhaps still resentful of his earlier mockery, retorted sarcastically, "You? Impossible! Just think about what kind of people those who received the Order of Merlin, First Class!"

“Why not?” Eddie retorted. “Even Lockhart received the Order of Merlin, Third Class!”

Roger looked at him with disdain: "Are you as good at writing books as Lockhart? Are you as handsome as him? Are you as good at lying...?"

He paused for a moment at this point.

“No…you should be able to achieve that,” he changed his mind.

Upon hearing his words, Scott and Milton immediately laughed.

Eddie didn't seem to care. He said enthusiastically, "Why hide a place like that? It's useless most of the time! I suggest turning it into a tourist attraction and charging admission fees. Wouldn't that be better?"

At that moment, Quidditch captain Bruce raised his hand and shouted to Professor Flitwick, "Professor! Did you stop the witch's attack? Did you capture her, daughter of Slytherin!"

Upon hearing his question, everyone fell silent again, staring intently at Professor Flitwick, awaiting his answer.

Even Scott was no exception.

"It's a pity."

Professor Flitwick shook his head.

"We arrived there too late..."

His expression was somewhat sad.

"Of the jazz order members stationed there, two were murdered, and the magic contained within the temple building was completely depleted..."

"This……"

Scott saw Bruce's eyes widen in surprise.

"Since the Merlin Order's headquarters are hidden by magic..." the seventh-year prefectural headman asked loudly, "Could there be a traitor among the members of the Merlin Order?"

“That’s what we think too,” Professor Flitwick sighed. “Unfortunately, we don’t yet know who betrayed the Order of Merlin.”

"Is she really... Slytherin's daughter?" another student asked hesitantly, clearly influenced by the newspapers.

"Of course she is! All the students who were hospitalized during the last Hogwarts incident know that's true."

Professor Frivi affirmed.

"Moreover, during today's attack, she identified herself as Medea Slytherin, and the members of the Jazz Order saw her control a group of snakes with her Parseltongue voice, which they firmly believed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the common room instantly became lively again.

Everyone is talking about this.

This is so rare.

Even Voldemort never dared to lay a finger on Ser Merlin's Order!

No wonder she is the daughter of Slytherin and the blood ancestor of Voldemort.

Scott was also lamenting about this—

In just a few days, Medea has done quite well; she has even infiltrated the members of Sir Merlin's Order.

Just a few days ago, he heard Professor Flitwick say that Medea needed a powerful source of magic to perform a transformation ritual in order to truly be resurrected.

Professor Flitwick was convinced at the time that such places were rare.

It seems he didn't expect Medea to attack the Merlin Order's base.

Yes, who would have thought of that?

However, Scott had more to think about.

Given what has happened, the Ministry of Magic can no longer afford to pretend to be deaf and dumb and cover it up.

Merlin can be said to be the faith of British wizards, and his representative significance is probably more important than Hogwarts.

Not to mention, the members of the Order of Merlin are all prominent and famous figures in the magical world, and their combined power is something that the Ministry of Magic cannot easily withstand.

Even if the Ministry of Magic wanted to suppress it, it couldn't!

This matter is likely to escalate significantly.

By this time, Scott was starting to look forward to it, anticipating the Ministry of Magic's reaction and what they would do.

Of course, there's also Voldemort, who's currently barely clinging to life.

What would his reaction be if he found out he had an ancestor who was putting pressure on him?

Thinking about these things, he found things to become interesting.

Scott's gaze swept around the common lounge.

Judging from everyone's expressions, he realized that he was not alone in having a number of students who shared similar thoughts.

Although no one knew that Voldemort was still alive, many people were clearly waiting to see the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet make fools of themselves.

Birds of a feather flock together, as they say.

Ha ha.

Scott couldn't help but chuckle.

“What are you laughing at, Scott?” Eddie asked him curiously.

Scott answered softly without hesitation, "Of course I'm looking forward to tomorrow's newspaper."

“Is that so?” Eddie couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m really looking forward to seeing what the reporters will say, especially that annoying Rita Skeeter!”

Milton retorted sarcastically, "You underestimate how adept those reporters are at changing their tune!"

Clearly, he also disliked those reporters.

"Why has no one ever taught Rita Skeeter, who loves to talk nonsense, a serious lesson?" Roger asked curiously.

"That guy must be too cunning."

Scott said calmly.

"Haven't you noticed? She usually only messes with people she can afford to mess with."

Roger emphasized, "She even dared to slander Dumbledore!"

“Because she knows that Dumbledore wouldn’t stoop to revenge against her.” Scott shrugged.

But she wasn't that smart either.

Scott thought.

Because she offended him.

If it weren't for her, Mike and Millie wouldn't have left England!

The vengeful Scott had already added her to his blacklist.

He had already decided that he would give her a hard time as soon as he got the chance.

Unfortunately, he hasn't encountered such an opportunity yet.

Because he had no idea where Rita Skeeter was.
