The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

The raven flapped its wings and took off again, then soared into the sky like a swift arrow.

Splash...

As if in response, countless dark shadows soared into the sky from the dense forbidden forest, following behind the raven.

Scott stood up and watched the huge flock of crows fly away.

During this time, Rimbaud had subdued all the crows he encountered, becoming the overlord of the Forbidden Forest, a true king of crows.

Crows are highly intelligent animals; even ordinary crows without magic are much smarter than most animals.

After Rimbaud gained a large group of men, it became much easier for Scott to find out any information he wanted.

For example, the Yaxley family, which he had long blacklisted, the Caro family to which Elijah Caro belonged, and even the only remaining prison, Azkaban, where Travers was located, were all monitored by Ravens who provided information to Scott.

Just now, Rimbaud brought the latest news about Elijah Caro.

Three days ago, the Slytherin student who attacked him in the Forbidden Forest with Brandon Yaxley had quietly emerged from the Ministry of Magic's dungeons and even returned to the Carlow family unharmed.

Although he had anticipated this, Scott still found it somewhat ironic.

It is an undeniable fact that the upper echelons of the British wizarding world are controlled by pure-blood families.

It's important to know that during the time this happened, newspapers were all investigating Dumbledore's negligence and denying Medea's true identity.

However, no report ever mentioned the attack on Hogwarts professors and students by pure-blood wizards.

Scott and Professor Friev, as the victims of the attack, never even received any explanation.

The wizard who attacked Professor Flitwick at least disguised himself, which gave him an excuse that the killer couldn't be found.

But Dumbledore witnessed the two men who attacked Scott.

Even Elijah Caro was personally sent to the Ministry of Magic by Dumbledore.

But the result?

Elijah Caro was only imprisoned for a few months in the Ministry of Magic's dungeon, which was far less secure than Azkaban, before being quietly released.

The worst punishment he ever received was being expelled from Hogwarts.

Such punishment is utterly insignificant to a pure-blood wizard like Elijah Caro.

Because Rimbaud told Scott that within just three days of his release from prison, Elijah Caro had already completed the formalities to enroll at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, along with his cousin Caitlin Roll, who had already dropped out of Hogwarts.

Durmstrang in Northern Europe, along with Beauxbatons in France and Hogwarts in England, are known as the three great magic schools of Europe.

Unlike Hogwarts, Durmstrang only admits pure-blood students and takes a lenient attitude towards the Dark Arts.

The infamous dark wizard Grindelwald, who once stirred up trouble throughout the magical world of Europe and America, also attended this school.

Dumbledore once told Scott that he would give him an explanation regarding the attack.

Now it seems that even the former principal is powerless to handle this matter.

After all, there are just too many things that this principal needs to worry about these days.

Unlike in the "original" books, Dumbledore now probably has to worry not only about Voldemort and the "savior," but also about Medea, who could cause trouble at any time...

As the dark flock of crows disappeared completely on the horizon, Scott took a deep breath.

Suppressing his somewhat chaotic thoughts, he turned and walked towards the castle.

He had made up his mind not to let his enemies grow in Durmstrang.

For Scott, Elijah Caro was no ordinary enemy.

Because he had genuinely wanted to take Scott's life.

Thus, he became an enemy that Scott could not tolerate.

Rimbaud had already sent out many crows to investigate the location of Durmstrang School of Magic, as requested by him.

Yes, Scott wanted to take Elijah Caro's life, but he wasn't prepared to let him die in Britain.

Because nothing could clear Scott of suspicion more than the death of his enemy in a foreign land.

With the ability to indirectly control a large flock of crows, killing an enemy wouldn't be that difficult for him.

"Scott!"

The shouts from afar caught Scott's attention.

He turned his head and saw the Weasley twins running towards him.

Fred and George soon arrived in front of Scott.

“Oh, Mr. Trolop,” Fred said, glancing at the book in Scott’s hand. “You’re certainly enjoying yourself.”

Scott stretched and smiled, saying to him, "The sun is so warm today, perfect for enjoying a leisurely weekend."

"Listen to that!" George exclaimed. "Mr. Trollope certainly knows how to enjoy life!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Weasley."

Scott gave him a fake smile.

He looked closely at their faces and said with concern, "Oh, you two should take better care of yourselves. Look, you both have dark circles under your eyes."

"We are researching new products."

"I was busy until 3 a.m. last night!"

The twins stared at him with their dark circles under their eyes.

"Why are you two running so fast?"

Just then, Eddie came running up, panting.

“Here you go, Scott.” He handed Scott a money pouch. “This is your share of last month’s bonus.”

"Oh?"

Scott took the money bag, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Looks like you guys worked really hard, not bad, not bad."

Eddie was immediately infuriated by his capitalist attitude.

“Vampire!” he muttered, in a tone Scott could hear.

Scott didn't seem to care, tossing his money bag in his hand with a broad smile on his face.

Being a successful hands-off boss is so satisfying.

“Eddie, Fred, George, you’ve worked so hard.” He said with a relieved tone, “I knew I wasn’t wrong, you really are my best friends!”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of his three close friends in front of him became even more unpleasant.

Chapter 207 The Weasley Brothers' War

Scott knew that his three good friends were itching to teach him a lesson and vent their frustration at being enslaved by capitalists.

But before that, he had stopped flirting and cleverly changed the subject.

"You don't need to give me this money right away." He shook the money bag in his hand. "I can continue to invest and expand our business."

"Oh, cunning Scott!"

Eddie glared at him through gritted teeth.

Do you want to own more shares and receive more dividends next time?

He suddenly waved his hand.

“Let me tell you, that’s impossible!” he shouted. “Hogwarts only has so many people, and the market we’re facing is already saturated!”

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Scott feigned confusion. "I'm just thinking about our business."

He then looked at the Weasley twins.

“Researching new products also requires R&D funding, doesn’t it?”

"Humph!"

"Research and development funds have been allocated!"

"These dividends are from the portion outside of the reserved funds."

Fred and George crossed their arms and said smugly that they had blocked another way for Scott to expand his investment.

"I see."

Scott grabbed the money bag with his other hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Then I'm relieved," he said with a smile.

The three people in front of him all wore victorious smiles.

Scott didn't seem to care and asked them again, "Has the dueling club's activities ended?"

Fred and George both wore expressions that looked like they'd just eaten shit.

Eddie chuckled. "Oh, it's such a shame you didn't come today, Scott!"

"What happened?" Scott asked curiously.

Eddie pointed at Fred and George, "Those two..."

However, he only managed to say half a sentence before the twins covered his mouth.

But Scott already understood.

"Did you two get a lecture from Percy again?" he asked, amused.

Yes, in short, the Duel Club was successfully formed, but it fell into Percy's hands.

This was an unspeakable pain for Fred and George.

This was surprising yet not entirely unexpected, given that Percy, now in sixth grade, is the best student in Gryffindor.

Last year, in fifth grade, he earned 12 certificates in the OWLs, just like Bill, the eldest son of the Weasleys.

This is undoubtedly excellent.

So when the students wanted to form a fighting club, Percy was elected as the leader by the sixth and seventh-year students of Gryffindor and received the approval of the professors.

Incidentally, Professor Flitwick, who won the dueling tournament in his youth, is the instructor of this dueling club.
