The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Scott gave her a thumbs up.

Behind Hermione, Harry and Ron also gave Scott a thumbs up.

Having dealt with Hermione, Scott turned and walked back to Neville.

"Have you rested well, Neville?" he asked.

Neville nodded somewhat nervously. "Okay."

“Let’s give it a try,” Scott said. “Cast a random spell and see if you improve.”

Neville swallowed hard and nodded again. "Okay."

He pulled out his wand and raised it.

"Grow bigger quickly!"

He waved his wand, and a beam of light struck the lawn.

The next second, the clump of grass began to grow wildly, becoming several times larger in the blink of an eye.

"Success..."

Neville stared at the clump of grass in disbelief.

"I succeeded!"

He then turned to look at Harry and Ron.

"Fantastic! Neville!" Harry excitedly ran to the clump of grass, looked at it, and shouted, "That's the Inflation Charm we just learned this term, and you did it!"

"real!"

Neville quickly ran over and reached out to touch the grass blades that had grown several times larger.

"Great!"

The next second, his eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but jump up.

Congratulations, Neville!

Ron and Hermione ran over too, both looking happy for Neville.

"Thank you!"

Neville thanked his classmates, then turned around and bowed deeply to Scott.

"Thank you, Scott."

He was so excited that his face turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

I don't know how to thank you.

He said, wiping away his tears.

“I will write to my grandmother, and she will be very grateful to you.”

Scott walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

He said gently, "I should also thank you for showing me more possibilities for wizards."

"Do not……"

Neville shook his head repeatedly, but was too tongue-tied to speak.

"Alright, alright, now tell us how you did it!" Eddie said impatiently. "I can't wait."

"We're curious too."

Fred and George were also looking at Scott.

"Okay... how should I explain this?"

Scott stroked his chin.

"Of course...it's all because of the amazing magic!"

After saying that, he smiled, turned around, and ran away.

"stop!"

Explain yourself!

The others were stunned for a moment, then immediately followed him.

But Scott quickly rushed into the castle, and using the Marauder's Map that hadn't yet been returned to the twins, he quickly escaped the men.

To avoid being caught by those people, he ate dinner alone in the kitchen that day.

Eddie finally caught him in his dorm room that evening.

"There's definitely something fishy going on here!"

Eddie stared intently at Scott.

“Good that you understand,” Scott said with a smile.

"Huh?" Eddie was taken aback. "Really?"

“Of course.” Scott leaned back on the sofa. “Some things won’t come true if you say them out loud.”

"Oh……"

Eddie squinted.

The next second, he said with a grin, "As long as Neville doesn't know, I can still listen."

“You?” Scott glanced at him and shook his head. “A mouth like yours is really not suited to keeping secrets.”

Eddie was furious, jumping up and down. "You're slandering me! Nobody's tighter-lipped than me!"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

Scott knew that although Eddie usually acted like a big mouth, he wouldn't reveal things he was told to keep secret.

He said, "What I'm saying is that my actions only had half the effect."

"What do you mean?" Eddie didn't understand.

Scott explained, "I cast a very mild psychedelic spell, along with words, to help Neville resolve his inner conflict in his imagination. It's similar to the methods used by Muggle psychiatrists."

Eddie nodded.

“At the same time, I used my own magical fluctuations to guide Neville’s magic,” Scott continued, “dispelling the gloom in his heart while guiding his magic to become active along with my magical fluctuations.”

"I see."

Eddie understood.

"Only someone like you who can sense magical fluctuations can use this method."

He said with a hint of envy.

“Actually, it didn’t have that much of an effect.” Scott smiled. “As I said, Neville’s problem is mainly psychological. Even without me, he would probably get better naturally as he grows up.”

"So what's the catch?" Eddie asked again.

Scott said, "The trick is... while this incident made his magical fluctuations more active, it didn't immediately allow him to successfully cast spells he couldn't cast before."

"I see."

Eddie immediately lost interest.

"The reason he failed to cast the spell was probably mostly due to psychological factors."

He had already guessed it.

“Your ‘treatment’ helped him build confidence, which is why he was able to cast the spell successfully.”

Scott nodded.

“Neville is a typical example of someone who lacks confidence. But magic is the power of belief, and when we cast spells, we must be firm in our inner conviction and in the act of waving our wands.”

"Are you worried that if he finds out this, he'll overthink things, start to doubt himself, and lose confidence?"

Eddie looked at Scott.

"I didn't expect you to be so kind."

“Of course,” Scott said with a smile. “I’m a very kind person who loves to help others.”

Chapter 184 is really doing good deeds.

After lunch on Sunday, Scott was called back by Jacob as he left the auditorium.

"Scott."

Jacob smiled and held up two fingers, waving them.

Is this a second transfiguration instruction?

"I see."

Scott nodded, greeted his roommates, and went with Jacob to an empty classroom.

"How are you doing with the methods I taught you before?"

Scott sat down first.

"There has been significant progress."

Jacob sat opposite him.

"Although the progress has been somewhat slow, I understand that it is due to my limited talent, not a problem with your methods."

Scott then sensed his magic.

“Actually, you don’t need to rush,” he said. “You’re only in first grade now, and you’re still in a period of rapid growth.”

Jacob smiled. “I understand, but if we are slow in one step, we will be slow in every step. I need to do my best.”

Scott would certainly agree with that.

but……

“Actually, your talent isn’t bad.” He looked at Jacob. “At least in terms of magic, you’re probably at an average level.”
