The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Scott could tell that Mr. Grevis was annoyed by Milton and his group's disrespectful attitude.

But the gentleman managed to maintain the surface temperature.

“That’s good. Summer vacation is almost here anyway,” he said to Milton. “Let’s talk again after you come home for vacation.”

“Yes, Father,” Milton replied politely as always.

Mr. Grevis said somewhat awkwardly, "Well...we'll head back now."

Milton nodded. "Goodbye, Father. Goodbye, Madam."

Mr. Grevis glanced at him, then turned and walked away with Mrs. Zabini.

Scott heard him say to Mrs. Zabini in a slightly ingratiating tone, "Darling, shall we go see the boy, Blaise?"

“No need, the child doesn’t like to be disturbed,” Mrs. Zabini said.

The two walked away until their figures disappeared from the group's sight.

Milton remained standing there, stunned.

Behind him, Eddie and Roger frantically winked at Scott, urging him to go and talk to Milton.

Scott gave them a disapproving look, then walked up to Milton and slapped him hard on the back.

"gone."

He put his arm around Milton's shoulder and walked forward.

"Everyone's hungry, let's go have a big meal!"

Milton was led forward several steps before he came to his senses.

“Okay, I’m hungry too,” he said with a smile.

He then broke free from Scott's grasp.

"Thank you for earlier."

He glanced at Scott and smoothed his long, shiny brown hair.

"But don't get too close to me, I don't like close contact with anyone."

Scott was completely speechless at his words, while Roger and Eddie burst into laughter.

Since the exams were over, the school did not schedule any classes in the afternoon.

After lunch, Scott walked alone to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and sat down against a large tree.

Not long after, Rimbaud descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

"Good afternoon, Scott," it greeted Scott with some excitement.

"Hello, Rimbaud."

Scott took out his wand and cast a soundproof spell around the area.

"I did it!"

Rimbaud jumped onto Scott's lap, looking for praise.

Travers is dead!

"Thank you, Rimbaud."

Scott laughed.

He wouldn't hesitate to kill a notorious Death Eater.

Or rather, Scott would have no qualms about killing anyone who wanted him dead.

Why would the Yaxley family target Scott?

It's all because Travers offered them tempting terms.

He reached out and stroked the raven's stiff feathers.

"No one has noticed you, has anyone?" he asked.

“Of course not,” Rimbaud said smugly. “I flew there mixed in with a flock of crows.”

It told Scott what had happened.

Because its language skills are ultimately limited, it speaks haltingly, but fortunately Scott can understand what it means.

Since Rimbaud became known as the King of the Forbidden Forest, his flock of crows has had a territory in the Forbidden Forest.

Even Scott didn't know exactly where it was.

Of course, he deliberately didn't want to know.

After Rimbaud acquired the territory, Scott entrusted it with hiding some sensitive items from his body.

For example, a virus, or a poison.

Travers was killed using the infamous toxin ricin.

This toxin is frequently used as a weapon in international espionage and terrorist activities, particularly for assassinations and sabotage.

The ricin in Scott's possession was left to him by Michael before he left England.

Of course, he didn't know where Michael got it from.

The lethal dose of this potent toxin to humans is approximately 7 mg.

Several hours after poisoning, the person will become drowsy and eventually die from circulatory failure.

Given that wizards are much more resilient than Muggles, Scott prepared far more than 7mg of ricin for Travers.

The process by which Rimbaud killed Travers was also quite simple.

Azkaban is an isolated island in the North Sea, inhabited by terrifying creatures like Dementors.

Although the Ministry of Magic had assigned several wizards to guard the area, they stayed on the perimeter and did not approach the Dementors' territory.

Dementors do not attack animals.

The island was home to many prisoners who died suddenly and were left to rot in the wilderness, so scavenging creatures like crows naturally inhabited the area.

Therefore, Rimbaud faced no obstacles in entering Azkaban with the other crows.

All it had to do was fly into the prison and find Travers.

Then, while he was sleeping, he injected him with ricin using a syringe. After confirming Travers' death, he left and threw the syringe into the sea.

After listening to Rimbaud's account, Scott felt that the operation had gone very smoothly.

The last member of the Travers family has died.

Next, we just have to wait for things to develop.

Once this news spreads, the Travers family, with its vast wealth, will be devoured by hyenas.

The Yaxley family, the family that plotted to kill Scott, must be very unwilling to accept the change in the fortune they were about to obtain.

Thinking about this, Scott laughed.

Driven by their unwillingness to accept defeat, the Yaxley family will definitely compete with other pure-blood families for it.

Conflicts will inevitably arise whenever there is competition.

What if a member of the Yaxley family died without cause during the most intense period of conflict?

Then anyone would think that it was other families who made the move.

In a struggle for the Travers family's fortune.

Scott smiled again and took off the silver snake necklace that was wrapped around his hand.

Next, he took out a small glass bottle containing mercury from the deformed lizard pocket at his waist and soaked the snake necklace in the mercury.

"Take this with you."

He sealed the glass bottle tightly and handed it to Rimbaud.

“Take it to your territory, bury it in the ground, and bring it back to me in three days.”

"what is this?"

Rimbaud gripped the glass bottle with his claws and tilted his head.

“An untraceable door key,” Scott replied.

Rimbaud tilted his head to the other side again. "The door key?"

Scott explained, "Three days later, it will record the location where it was buried, and then no matter where I am, I can instantly reach the location it recorded using the door key."

"Really? That's great!" Rimbaud gripped the glass bottle tightly.

"I've been inviting you to visit me, but you've never come." It flapped its wings and flew away.

“I’m deliberately not memorizing your territory,” Scott said. “That will be my safe house in the future.”

"Alright, I need to find a good place to bury the bottle as soon as possible!" Rimbaud shouted, and flew directly into the Forbidden Forest.

"and many more."

Scott called out, but due to the curse, Rimbaud did not hear him and flew away.

He felt somewhat helpless.

He also wanted Rimbaud to instruct the crows to find out who might be interested in the Travers family's property.

Forget it.

There's still time in three days.

Or rather, the timing was just right at that time.

Scott stood up, dispelled the spell he had previously placed, and strolled toward the castle.
