The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

However, Professor Flitwick does not attend every club event.

During dueling club activities, Percy would often demonstrate for the other students.

At this point, he would have one of his two mischievous younger brothers act as his rival.

However... neither Fred nor George can defeat Percy at this stage.

Regardless of their academic performance, a two-year age difference is enough to create a gap between them.

Fred and George certainly resisted.

When Percy was elected head, they clamored to refuse to join this "no-laughter club".

But Percy went even further; he wrote a letter to Mrs. Weasley.

So Fred and George, along with Ron and Ginny, were forced to submit to Percy's "reign of terror" at their mother's insistence.

Scott still remembers their reaction at the time.

"This is the most tragic moment in the history of the Weasley family!" Fred said, overcome with grief.

"This will be recorded in family history, without a doubt." George was utterly despondent.

“Things have changed in this family ever since Bill and Charlie left,” Ron said, lost in thought.

“Don’t say that, Percy just… well, you guys bear with it.” Ginny said indifferently.

As the youngest sister in the family, she still had special privileges, even in front of Percy.

As the twins had predicted, Percy, methodical and serious, turned the Duel Club into a "no-laughter club."

This is also why Scott rarely attends events.

And now, he is once again gloating over the twins' misfortune.

“Oh, Fred, George, my friend.”

He said this while feigning sadness.

"You used to be like two free-roaming balls, running amok, but now you've become a Guffin, a ball that Percy can hit anywhere..."

Scott wiped away non-existent tears.

"This is just... hilarious, hahaha..."

Eddie, whose mouth was covered by the twins, was also laughing so hard he was shaking.

The twins let go of Eddie's hand, wiped the drool off their hands on Eddie, and let him laugh and fall onto the grass.

“This can’t go on, brother!” George looked at Fred with a serious expression.

“You’re right, brother,” Fred said. “We have to fight back!”

The two held hands tightly.

"who are we?"

"We're the freest Weasleys in 500 years!"

"We absolutely cannot let Percy ride roughshod over us!"

"Down with him!"

"He must be taught a lesson!"

"So that he won't dare to order us around anymore!"

After saying that, the two turned around at the same time and strode confidently into the castle.

"Hahahaha... The freest Weasley in 500 years... How was this year calculated..."

Eddie was still laughing, rolling around on the ground as he laughed.

Scott watched the twins' retreating figures, then stroked his chin with feigned seriousness.

"Has the Weasley brothers' war begun...? Who will emerge victorious?"

“I bet Percy will win!” Eddie shouted, getting up from the grass.

“No, I bet on the twins,” Scott said. “They won’t go out and fight Percy on the fair side.”

“But Percy can file a complaint later!” Eddie retorted.

Scott shook his head. "Fred and George can think of that too, so they might choose to use Percy's weaknesses against him."

Eddie didn't believe it. "Oh, Percy, a top student and a Gryffindor prefect, what could he possibly have on him?"

Scott smiled enigmatically. "Peneno."

“Oh…” Eddie still didn’t believe it. “Percy is already in sixth grade. Being in a relationship isn’t a valid excuse.”

Scott smiled without saying a word.

A romantic relationship is certainly not grounds for suspicion, but a clandestine date after curfew can be.

For Percy, who was very concerned about his image, this was a huge weakness.

Scott said to Eddie, "See, they'll be coming to borrow my camera soon."

Sure enough, not long after he said that, before he and Eddie had even returned to the castle, Fred and George came running over again.

"Scott!"

"Can we borrow your camera?"

Fred extended his hand.

"of course."

Scott smiled, took a camera from the deformed lizard skin pouch at his waist, placed it in Fred's hand, and thoughtfully offered him a box of film.

Chapter 208: Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

Three days later, at breakfast time, Fred and George swaggered over to the Ravenclaw table and placed the camera on the table in front of Scott.

Scott calmly put away his camera and turned to look at the two men.

"It seems you've succeeded," he said with certainty.

"of course."

Fred's nose was practically pointing to the sky, and the freckles on his face turned bright red with excitement.

“Percy is no match for us,” George said smugly. “He should know by now that we’re not to be trifled with.”

"Hehehehe..." Fred let out a strange laugh, "We already have a huge weakness in his hands..."

Suddenly, his voice grew softer and softer, and his face turned terrified.

Scott followed his gaze and saw Peneno, who had been sitting at the other end of the long table, staring intently at them.

When Scott and she made eye contact, Peneno stood up and walked over to them.

"Hahaha... I'm so hungry when I wake up this morning, I'm going to have a big meal!"

Fred chuckled awkwardly a few times, then pulled George and prepared to turn and leave.

George pulled his hand away and whispered in Scott's ear, "We got a picture of Percy kissing her in the hallway."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran off with Fred.

Scott was left to greet Peneno's arrival alone.

Good morning, Scott.

Peneno brushed a strand of hair from her cheek and greeted him softly.

Good morning, Peneno.

Scott looked up and composed himself, staring at her with a puzzled expression, seemingly unsure why she had come over.

“So it was you who lent it to them.” Peneno stared at Scott. “The camera.”

“A camera? Yes.” Scott looked puzzled, took out the camera and handed it to her. “Do you want to borrow the camera to take pictures too?”

Peneno didn't take the camera; instead, she stared directly into Scott's eyes.

“Hmph.” She snorted. “You’d better really know nothing, Scott.”

"Know what?" Scott's expression became even more confused.

Peneno stared at him for several more seconds, as if confirming something, then turned and left with an ugly expression.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief and put the camera away again.

“Oh, thank goodness you can hold it in, Scott.” Eddie winked at him from the side.

“What are you holding back?” Scott turned to look at him innocently. “Do you know what Fred and George did, Eddie?”

"No," Eddie denied, shaking his head repeatedly. "I don't know anything."

Scott nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. Otherwise, I was worried that Peneno would cause you trouble."

Eddie's fork scraped across the plate with a harsh sound.

Under the watchful eyes of his classmates, he lowered his head and began to eat his meal obediently.

After breakfast, Scott, Roger, and Milton went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

“I told you so!” Roger complained to Scott. “This class has turned out like this again, and now we can only study on our own! And the first week of next month is the end-of-year exams!”

Milton said, "Currently, only fifth and seventh graders have professors teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, and this year is their year of OWLs and NEWT."

"We're going to pass OWLs next year too. I really hope the school can hire a reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this summer!" Roger said, dissatisfied.

Milton nodded. "To be honest, we haven't learned anything useful in this course over the past few years."

Scott immediately thought of Remus Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who would join the faculty the following semester in the "original book".

Although Lupin's true identity is a werewolf, in terms of teaching quality, he can be considered the most reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the entire "original" series.

When Scott and his classmates were in their first and second years, the two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors who didn't appear in the "original book" weren't actually that good; their teaching quality was only slightly better than the exceptionally eccentric Quirrell and Lockhart.

However, their fate was better than the other two; they only had to leave their jobs due to accidental injuries, and at least they didn't lose their lives.

If given a choice, Scott would prefer that the "plot" remain unchanged in this respect.
