The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Of course, he didn't intend to specifically seek out Dumbledore; he planned to bring it up when he encountered the old headmaster.

After entering the castle, Scott soon stopped again.

Around the corner ahead, Harry, Ron, and Neville were confronting Malfoy and his gang.

"The trial has begun," Malfoy said arrogantly. "Just wait, Potter, that big oaf Hagrid is about to be fired!"

“They might even end up in Azkaban!” Parkinson chimed in with a shrill voice.

"Of course, that damned beast will also be sentenced to death," Malfoy said sarcastically. "You'll cry then, Potter, because you'll lose two good friends at Hogwarts."

Malfoy's two burly henchmen immediately burst into gloating laughter.

Harry angrily said, "Shut up, Malfoy! Your father won't get away with it! Hagrid won't be expelled, and Buckbeak won't be executed!"

"That's not up to you, Potter," Malfoy said smugly. "Just you wait and see!"

“Let’s go, Harry. Ignore him. We all know Dumbledore is in charge of this school,” Ron said to Harry.

"The Ministry of Magic isn't run by Dumbledore, Weasley," Malfoy said dismissively, looking at Ron. "And of course, it's not run by your poor old man either; he has no power in the Ministry of Magic."

"You bastard!" Ron was immediately enraged and wanted to pounce on Malfoy and punch him.

Now it was Harry's turn to hold off Ron.

Malfoy snorted and walked away arrogantly from Harry and his companions with a few of his followers.

When they saw Scott standing at the end of the corridor, they immediately became much more subdued, lowering their heads and quickly passing by him.

At that moment, Harry and his two companions also saw Scott.

"Hey, Scott," Harry rushed over, "Hagrid's case has started today, you know?"

Scott shook his head. "Sorry, I didn't know it was today."

“Um…” Harry asked somewhat nervously, “Do you think… William can help Hagrid win this case?”

Chapter 320 Felix Felicis, Dreams, Taming

When Harry asked him, Scott could only tell him, "Hagrid should be fine."

As for Buckbeak, that hippogriff will most likely not be able to escape punishment.

Otherwise, wouldn't old Malfoy have wasted all his effort? Scott didn't think the cunning old Malfoy would be so useless.

However, he couldn't say for sure, because he hadn't paid any attention to this matter during this period.

After understanding Scott's meaning, Harry's expression turned somewhat grim as he said, "So, Buckbeak really might be executed? Malfoy was the one who provoked it first!"

Scott said helplessly, "Whatever the reason, Buckbeak hurt people after all. Compared to the wizards, the trials of Wizengamot will be much harsher on animals."

As he spoke, Scott made contact with the Harry doll hanging on Harry's backpack and began to listen to its "report".

"Isn't there any other way?" Ron asked, frowning.

Scott was distracted, listening to the "report" while answering Ron's question, "I don't know either, it depends on whether William can come up with a solution."

"I really hope William can help Buckbeak get acquitted, otherwise Malfoy will be smug." As he said this, Ron's face scrunched up, as if he was thinking of Malfoy's smug look.

Harry clenched his fist and said, "There's nothing we can do now, we can only wait for the outcome."

“That’s the only way.” Ron shrugged.

He seemed to suddenly remember something, so he lowered his voice and said, "Seriously, do you guys think Hagrid is a bit unlucky? No, you should say he's always been unlucky."

“What do you mean?” Harry asked.

“His magical creatures always seem to get into trouble,” Ron said mysteriously. “Last year, all the eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest died, this year the Thestrals were stolen, and now Buckbeak might also be in trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Harry's expression immediately changed.

"This...this has nothing to do with whether Hagrid is unlucky or not, right?" He said this with a somewhat unsure of himself.

“I think there’s a connection,” Ron said definitively.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and Harry immediately changed his tune.

"What can we do then?" he asked worriedly. "Is there any way to help Hagrid change his bad luck?"

Scott's lips twitched slightly.

Even he was just now wondering if Hagrid was really having a run of bad luck.

At this point, Neville said somewhat uncertainly, "Felix Felicis?"

"What is that?" Harry asked, somewhat bewildered.

“It’s a magic potion, also called a lucky potion,” Neville said. “It’s said that drinking this potion will bring you good luck.”

"Oh!" Harry's eyes widened in surprise. "There's such a potion?"

He turned to Scott. "Is it true?"

“There is indeed such a potion,” Scott said.

"Where can I buy it?" Harry asked eagerly. "Sometimes I feel like I'm just lacking a bit of good luck."

Scott smiled. "Potions have a limited duration, and luck potions don't actually bring real luck."

"Not real luck? Or is it just giving people the illusion of luck?"

Harry immediately lost interest in Felix Felicis, and Ron and Neville also looked disappointed.

Scott explained, "Taking Felix Felicis will greatly enhance your abilities in all aspects, such as magical abilities, reaction speed, thinking ability, etc. This is why Felix Felicis is called the potion of luck. Taking it will make you feel that everything goes smoothly."

Harry, Ron, and Neville's eyes lit up again.

Scott chuckled again. "Florence Felix is ​​very expensive, extremely expensive. Its preparation process is extremely complex and takes six months. Moreover, taking an overdose of Felix Felix can cause dizziness, recklessness, and arrogance."

His words successfully dispelled the three boys' fascination with Felix Felicis.

Harry said disappointedly, "It seems this potion won't help Hagrid get rid of his bad luck."

He seemed to have completely believed what Ron had said.

At this point, the Harry doll had finished its "report," and Scott had also obtained an important piece of information.

Harry had a dream about Voldemort last night.

Perhaps because the boy who had miraculously survived didn't take the dream too seriously and didn't want to scare his friends, he only mentioned it briefly to Ron and didn't even tell Hermione.

As Scott chatted with Harry, he carefully examined the scar on his forehead.

Perhaps because Voldemort's soul fragments were not active at the moment, he could only sense a faint magical fluctuation that did not belong to Harry.

However, Scott knew that as Voldemort's true form grew stronger, the influence of his soul fragments on Harry would become increasingly significant.

Since Harry is not a true Horcrux, the fragment of Voldemort's soul within him, upon sensing the restoration of the main soul through the invisible connection between souls, will instinctively want to leave Harry and return to the main soul.

This is also why Harry often had headaches after Voldemort's resurrection in the "original book".

Unable to find out anything further, and not wanting to ask Harry directly, Scott bid farewell to the three Gryffindors and returned to Ravenclaw Tower.

He found Luna and Savannah in the common room and delivered the message that Grapland had asked him to convey to the two girls.

"Hmm...we should find her first?" Luna asked, somewhat surprised. "Is it necessary for us to do that?"

Savannah shook her head.

“I’m just passing on a message,” Scott said with a smile. “How you proceed is up to you.”

Luna suddenly glanced at Scott a few times and asked him, "What's your suggestion, Scott?"

“My suggestion?” Scott walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite the two of them. “I suggest you don’t go to the Forbidden Forest.”

"Then let's not go," Luna nodded.

Savannah nodded in agreement.

Scott looked at Luna with some surprise; this girl didn't seem like the type to be so obedient.

Luna didn't seem to care about his gaze, or rather, she continued flipping through the book in her hands with ease, even under his watchful eyes.

Scott decided to ask directly, "Why did you decide not to go after I said that?"

“You…you must have a reason for saying that,” Savannah said. “I think it’s better to take your advice.”

Perhaps because they had become more familiar with each other, the girl finally seemed more at ease in front of Scott.

At that moment, Luna looked up from her book.

“I wasn’t planning on going again anyway,” she said. “That little guy is almost tamed by her.”

“Her?” Scott asked in surprise. “Grapple? Not Hagrid?”

Luna nodded affirmatively, "She will take good care of it."

After saying that, she lowered her head again and began to read.

"Did you realize this?" Scott asked Savannah.

Druids should be able to communicate with animals, right?

Savanna shook her head, somewhat bewildered.

Chapter 321 Advice, Gossip, Skills

That evening, as Scott left the Transformers Club, he saw Harry standing at the other end of the corridor, waving at him.

Scott went over and found Ron and Hermione there as well.

"Scott, the verdict is in." Harry's face was grim. "Just as you said, Hagrid is out of the woods, but Buckbeak is sentenced to death."

As expected, Scott thought.

He asked, "When will it be implemented?"

“Hagrid said it was the day before the Christmas holidays,” Hermione replied.

Harry asked Scott expectantly, "Is there any other good way to save Buckbeak?"

Scott shook his head.

Harry looked disappointed. "Is there really no way? Hagrid is heartbroken. He's suffered a great blow."
