The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

My cousin Ramos, 28, has a serious demeanor much like his uncle Caleb. He's an investment broker. His wife is a university lecturer.

On the surface, the Hill family seems to have completely shed its gang background from two generations ago.

After a lively dinner, and only after all the relatives had said their goodbyes and left did Scott realize—

"So, this is our home after all."

Scott sighed, exhausted, and collapsed onto the sofa.

Scott's cousins ​​Adelina and Ramos have a total of five children, and Scott has had a lot of trouble remembering all of them.

This was the first time he had ever felt so exhausted from taking care of a child.

"I almost thought this wasn't our home just now." With only the three of them left, Michael finally felt a sense of presence.

"What nonsense are you two spouting, father and son!"

Emilia grumbled and brought Scott a cup of tea.

"Darling, did you demonstrate magic to Caleb just now?" she asked Scott curiously.

Scott nodded.

"Did he react?" Emilia asked again.

Scott shook his head.

Caleb was somewhat surprised, but he didn't react much.

"Oh……"

Emilia looked extremely disappointed.

"That guy never believed me, and I was expecting him to look utterly shocked," she muttered.

“Speaking of which, Scott has never cast a spell in front of us.” Michael looked at Scott. “I don’t even know what you can do with magic now.”

Emilia immediately looked at Scott expectantly, "Now that you've demonstrated it, does that mean you can use magic outside of school in Spain?"

Scott blinked, somewhat reluctant to move.

But seeing the expectant looks in his parents' eyes, he gave in.

First, he used the power of the severed arm bone to envelop the living room, and then waved his wand to automatically draw the curtains around the room.

Then, he waved his wand repeatedly, turning the furniture in the living room into animals, including some ferocious beasts.

The living room had turned into a zoo.

Finally, amidst Emilia's screams, Scott restored everything.

“Very good.” Michael clapped his hands. “You can turn a whole circus into one person.”

"..."

Scott slumped back onto the sofa, unmoved by his "praise."

Michael asked him, "Have you thought about what you want to do after graduation, given that you've already passed the halfway mark of your studies at Hogwarts?"

“You need to plan for the future, darling,” Emilia said.

Scott looked up and saw the concern and worry in Michael and Emilia's eyes.

This was the first time they had discussed this topic with Scott.

Scott instinctively sat up straighter.

“I want to go further in my magical journey,” he said earnestly. “After graduation, I want to travel the world, and after that, I will try to return to Hogwarts as a professor.”

Scott thought this way because, for him, the best place to study magic after graduation was still Hogwarts.

It has the best library in the British wizarding world, and there is also a portrait of his mentor Ravenclaw.

There's also Medea's Chamber, the secret room that was once Slytherin's laboratory, which Scott desperately wants.

Of course, traveling around the world was also essential, as Scott was very interested in the different kinds of magic in different places.

His current plan is to travel around and then try to become a professor at Hogwarts, in charge of a less important subject.

Ideally, it should be an elective course that doesn't require too much effort, such as Muggle Studies.

After Scott finished speaking, Michael gave him a special look, as if to confirm his determination.

Scott met his gaze intently.

In the end, Michael simply nodded and did not comment on Scott's plan.

"So you're saying you'll stay in the wizarding world forever, eventually marry a witch, and have a few little wizards?" Emilia couldn't help but ask.

She looked at Scott with some sadness, as if he was about to leave her completely.

Clearly, she was worried that Scott, who remained in the wizarding world, would drift further and further away from his parents in the Muggle world.

"This……"

Scott had never really thought about getting married and having children.

That's still a long way off for him, and it's not in his current plans.

“Don’t worry, Millie, distance isn’t a problem for wizards,” Scott said, holding her hand to comfort her.

He began to describe to her the wizards' transportation system: the Floo Network, Portkeys, and the Apparition Charm.

“I can make my home anywhere in England, and as long as I have access to Filo, I can come and go freely via the fireplace,” he said with a smile.

“But we are in Spain…” Emilia said, still dissatisfied.

"It's only temporary."

Scott and Michael exchanged a glance, then continued to say to Emilia, "We'll go back, back to Hastings."

“Of course, I prefer Hastings, the English town, to Madrid, the capital of Spain.” Emilia then became happy.

“Of course, that’s what I think too,” Scott said with a smile.

Next, he told his parents many interesting things that happened at school during the semester that had just ended.

While only reporting good news and not bad, let them know as much as possible about their studies and life at Hogwarts.

Clearly, both Michael and Emilia were very interested in this.

At 10 p.m., Scott, led by Amelia, finally entered his room in the villa.

“This…” He looked at the familiar furniture and decorations in the room with some surprise, as well as the owl on the windowsill.

"How was it?" Emilia asked with a hint of pride.

"You brought all my things?" Scott was delighted to see the familiar desk and the familiar books on the bookshelf. "I love it."

This is a complete replica of his room in Hastings.

Emilia said, "Caller helped; he had everything in your room shipped from England."

“Looks like I should thank Uncle Caleb properly,” Scott said with a smile.

"Of course, you can thank him next time you meet him."

Emilia hugged Scott.

Goodnight, my love.

Goodnight, Millie.

After Emilia left, Scott closed the door to the room and went to the windowsill.

"Long time no see, how are you, Shay?"

He spoke softly to the owl that was staring at him.

Chapter 244 Summer Vacation Limited Romance

On the first day of summer vacation, Scott did nothing.

He played Nintendo Super Famicom all the time except for mealtimes.

The classics of his previous life had become the right time in this life, which felt somewhat subtle, but it didn't stop him from spending a whole day on it.

By the way, Ramiro came over around noon.

He had planned to take Scott out to play, but his cousin unknowingly became addicted to the game and played against Scott for an entire afternoon.

"You absolutely have to come with me tonight! I've already made plans with my friends!"

At the dinner table, Ramiro said to Scott.

Before Scott could even speak, Emilia agreed on his behalf, "Of course, Scott will go, thank you Ramiro."

Ramiro grinned. "Don't worry, Aunt Millie! I've had my friends bring their younger siblings, so there will be Scott's peers at the party."

As he spoke, he winked at Scott.

After dinner, Scott got into Ramiro's car.

"I didn't expect you to organize a party so quickly. Thank you, Ramiro," he said first.

Clearly, this cousin organized the party specifically for him.

Ramiro stepped on the gas, and the car sped out of the residential area.

"You're welcome!" he said with a smile. "I hired people to organize parties, so I didn't have to worry about it!"

Once out of his elders' sight, Ramiro immediately displayed a carefree and irresponsible demeanor.

Scott had anticipated this.

“This party is in one of my villas, you can have as much fun as you want there,” Ramiro said loudly.

"Oh, by the way!" He glanced at Scott, "Do you drink?"

“Don’t worry.” Scott smiled.

"Oh...it seems you're not such a pure goody-two-shoes after all!"

Ramiro clearly misunderstood something, gave Scott a meaningful smile, and then reached out and patted him hard on the shoulder.

Scott did not refute this.
