The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

But Scott always felt that he would do it again.

Judging from his usual behavior, Snape was also a very vengeful person.

Even if Peter is imprisoned in Azkaban, Snape might still find a way to kill him.

Thinking of this, Scott clicked his tongue and went downstairs with a relaxed expression.

As he walked into the atrium, he looked up at the window of the principal's office on the eighth floor, where light was shining through, and smiled silently.

After that, he was no longer needed.

If, now that things have come to this, Dumbledore can still let Peter escape like Sirius Black and Lupin did in the "original" story, then Scott will have nothing to say.

But when Scott tried to return to the base of Ravenclaw Tower, he found a group of people waiting for him in the distance.

The five Weasley siblings, Harry and Hermione, and Scott's three roommates.

Harry, who had been vomited on by Ron, had already changed his clothes.

"This is really..."

Scott didn't stop; he walked straight up to them.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, feigning ignorance.

"Scott."

"You've arrived."

Fred and George rushed over immediately, standing on either side of him and putting their hands on his shoulders.

Scott smiled and asked them, "Why aren't you going back to the Gryffindor common room? What are you doing here?"

"You sneaked away earlier."

"Someone saw you and Snape go to the Headmaster's office together!"

Fred and George asked, feigning seriousness.

"What exactly happened? What just occurred? What did Snape do?"

"Tell us now, or else..."

Scott shook his head. "I was told by the professors that I can't say."

Fred and George stared at him from either side.

“Forget it, since the professor has already given instructions to Scott, we shouldn’t ask anymore,” Hermione said.

Scott nodded and gave her an approving look.

At this moment, the meticulous Percy also spoke up, "Let him go, Fred, George. Since Dumbledore said he would tell Mom and Dad, perhaps we shouldn't ask any more questions."

Scott nodded again and gave him an approving look.

Even characters like Hermione and Percy can be helpful sometimes.

"Come on, Hermione, Percy," Ron said irritably. "Don't tell me you don't want to know."

“I don’t want to know!” Hermione said firmly.

Percy hesitated.

Scott looked at his roommates. "Hey, you guys, are you just going to stand there and watch Gryffindor bully me?"

Roger and Eddie smiled and remained silent, while Milton seemed completely oblivious to the situation.

Just then, an owl flew over and dropped a letter at Harry.

Harry quickly tore open the letter and glanced at it.

"Hagrid replied to me!" he said happily. "He really does know Peter Pettigrew!"

Everyone immediately looked at him.

Harry's expression was somewhat peculiar.

“Oh… Hagrid didn’t answer the question about Sirius Black, but he did say Peter is my dad’s good friend, and Hagrid said Peter is a hero?”

He continued reading the letter with surprise.

“My dad and he always played together when they were in school…there were four of them in total, and there were two more Hagrid didn’t mention…”

He put the letter away and couldn't help but smile.

Harry seemed to be in a good mood because he had received news related to his father.

“Oh, I haven’t met him yet, I mean… Peter.” Harry was a little excited. “Of course, I saw him every day when he was a mouse.”

He didn't notice that Ron's expression was not good when he brought up the topic.

“A hero?” Ron scoffed. “I don’t think so! Harry, you’ll be utterly disappointed if you meet him.”

“I understand, Ron.”

Harry gave Ron a reassuring pat on the shoulder, as if to say, "I understand you."

Ron looked even angrier.

Harry was still eager to try.

He looked up at Scott. "Scott, do you think... if I go to the Headmaster's office now, Dumbledore will let me in? By the way, do you know the password to the Headmaster's office?"

He seemed eager to meet his father's good friend.

Scott looked at the pure joy in his eyes and sighed silently.

He looked at the Weasleys, "Dumbledore clearly instructed us to keep everything a secret."

"..."

The four Weasley brothers looked at the sky and the ground, but not at him.

“I don’t think there’s anything to keep secret,” Harry said.

Scott said, "You'd better not go, Harry."

Harry asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Scott shook his head. "Peter has been a rat for 12 years. He's become mentally unstable and can't even speak clearly."

“I don’t mind, I just want to get to know him,” Harry said with a smile. “He should know a lot about my dad.”

Scott said, "Secrecy was necessary. Peter stayed as a rat for 12 years to escape persecution by those people."

Scott felt a pang of unease as he said those words.

Although I felt some sympathy for Harry, since he had been instructed not to say those things, it was not up to him to do so.

If the truth is to be told to Harry, it should be Dumbledore who does it.

"You haven't been talking about it everywhere, have you?" he asked Fred and George, who still had their arms around his shoulders.

The twins shook their heads. "Only those present know."

Scott broke free from their grasp and said to Harry, "Of course, this is just my suggestion. You can also ask Dumbledore; I believe he has considered things more comprehensively than I have."

Harry nodded.

Scott didn't say anything more.

After saying goodbye to his Gryffindor friends, he and his roommates climbed the spiral staircase of the tower.

Chapter 238 Exam Results Announcement

Back in the dorm, Eddie couldn't wait to ask Scott, "What happened? It's so strange, isn't it? Someone actually willingly played the role of a rat for 12 years?"

"You're saying he's afraid of being persecuted?" Roger shook his head. "Couldn't Dumbledore protect him?"

"What happened?" Milton asked, completely bewildered.

Scott shook his head. "Don't ask anymore. I've already been told to keep my mouth shut. Besides, this has nothing to do with us."

"Boring! You should trust us to keep this a secret!" Eddie's curiosity was left unsatisfied, and he looked extremely anxious.

Scott shook his head again.

He asked Milton, "Milton, did Professor Frivy provide you with any documentation?"

Milton said happily, "I talked to Professor Flitwick for a long time, and he agreed."

“That’s good.” Scott nodded. “I think it’s good for you to get used to Muggle life.”

“That’s what I think too,” Milton said with some anticipation.

When Eddie and Roger realized that Scott really wouldn't say anything about Peter Pettigrew, they had no choice but to give up asking.

They also joined Scott and Milton's conversation.

To prevent Milton from making a fool of himself in the future, the three of them worked together, offering their advice and guidance on how to adapt to Muggle life in London.

As the night passed, a new day began.

This day is the day when the end-of-year exam results are announced, and it is also the last day for students at school.

In the morning, Scott and his companions woke up a little late because they had talked late the night before.

After washing up, Scott glanced at his pocket watch and said to his roommates, "It's already 9:30 a.m., and there's no more breakfast."

"Let's check the grades first, then go to the kitchen to find something to eat." Roger put on his robe, stretched, and was the first to leave the dormitory.

"Walk."

The four of them went to the common lounge and found envelopes with their names on them on the table in the center of the lounge.

Scott took the envelope, walked to the window, and sat down on the sofa.

Luna peeked out from the sofa and greeted him, "Good morning, Scott."

She was also holding a report card in her hand.

“Good morning, Luna, how did your exam go?” Scott asked as he opened the letter.

“Not bad.” Luna handed over the parchment.

Scott took it and looked at it. "It's very good."
