The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Harry immediately showed an expression of extreme disgust upon hearing this.

“I wanted Professor Lupin to teach me, but he said he wasn’t good at that magic either,” he said. “I’m planning to have my godfather teach me during the summer… By the way, do you know Occlumency?”

He looked up at Scott expectantly.

“I can,” Scott said, “but I learned it on my own from books in the school library, so I’m not an expert.”

“Could you…” Harry wanted to ask Scott for help, but he was a little embarrassed and couldn’t quite bring himself to say it.

“I can lend you my notebook,” Scott offered. “Besides excerpts from books, it also contains some of my own thoughts.”

"Thank you." Harry looked a little disappointed.

"Because my expertise in this area is limited, even if I teach you personally, I can't say anything more than the insights recorded in my notebook."

Scott reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"The laptop is in my dorm room. I'll give it to you with breakfast tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around, and walked down the stairs.

"Goodbye," Harry whispered behind him.

"Goodbye," Scott replied.

He did not lie to Harry.

While partly it was because he didn't have time to personally teach Harry Occlumency, the main reason was that, given his skill level, he simply couldn't teach it anything meaningful.

Chapter 379 News of Carlo and Roll

Scott sensed an impending storm brewing.

Because of Medea's sudden appearance, the "original story" that Scott originally knew has completely gone out of control, and the situation in the magical world is now in complete chaos.

And now Voldemort has clearly started to make his move.

Scott was unable to figure out how things would develop next.

The attacks continued over the next few days.

Despite the Ministry of Magic's efforts, the Aurors were unable to catch the perpetrators of the attack.

Although Scott lent Harry his notebook, Harry's Occlumency training did not progress much in a short period of time, and his condition visibly deteriorated.

Perhaps out of concern for Harry's condition, Sirius Black returned to Hogwarts on Thursday and began serving as Professor Lupin's assistant.

His return made Harry seem a little better, but Snape's mood was visibly worse.

Rimbaud, whom Scott had not seen for some time, flew into the castle after dinner on Thursday and took the initiative to find Scott.

Scott took it to an empty classroom and talked to it.

Rimbaud cleverly waited until Scott had set up the spells around them before speaking.

"Congratulations! The gift you gave out during last Christmas holiday has finally come to fruition," it said excitedly to Scott.

"A gift?" Scott thought for a moment before remembering, "The gift for Carlo?"

He had almost forgotten about it recently.

But since Rimbaud brought it up, Scott immediately became interested.

"What? Has Carlo finally made a move against his cousin, Roel?"

“Yes,” Rimbaud replied, “he must have made a move.”

“Tell me in detail!” Scott urged.

Rimbaud said, "I don't know exactly what happened, but the latest news is that the Roll family and the Carlow family clashed in Diagon Alley in front of a crowd."

It flapped its wings.

"The two parties involved in the conflict happened to be Caitlin Roll and Elijah Caro's father!"

Scott's eyes widened in surprise. "How could that be? I thought it was one of the crows you sent to Durmstrang that came back to deliver a message to you."

“Demstrand is too far away!” Rimbaud said. “After the Raven has been sent so far away, I wonder if we can still rely on it!”

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Scott was very curious about the public confrontation between Mr. Roll and Mr. Carroll.

Because these pure-blood families care a lot about their reputation, they would usually resolve things privately, so why would they make a scene in public?

Apart from the fight between Malfoy and Weasley at Flour and Blotts, nothing like that has ever happened before.

"Tell me about the conflict that happened in Diagon Alley."

“I didn’t get to see it happen,” Rimbaud said. “I heard about it when I was wandering around the Ministry of Magic. Apparently, they just bumped into each other, but suddenly started arguing and ended up fighting.”

Scott guessed, "Since you're sure my gift worked, then there must be quite a few people who heard their argument."

Rimbaud excitedly flapped his wings again, as if possessed by Eddie, and couldn't wait to begin his story.

"Mr. Rolle demanded that Mr. Caro hand over 'that damned son of a thug,' but Mr. Caro accused Mr. Rolle, saying, 'Your daughter is also responsible for this.'"

"Mr. Roll shouted, 'Do you know what my daughter has suffered!' and then punched Mr. Carroll in the face!"

"They wrestled and even pulled out wands, but the others immediately separated them as soon as they did."

“I understand,” Scott said with amusement. “So, something really did happen between Elijah Caro and Caitlin Roll. Caro’s father-in-law has even called him a thug.”

“That’s what I think,” Rimbaud said.

“It’s a pity,” Scott said regretfully. “It’s a real shame that I can’t witness the outcome of the play I directed myself.”

He reached out and touched Rimbaud's feathers. "Thank you for bringing this good news, my friend. I am relieved to know that my enemies are not doing well."

"It's nothing."

Rimbaud proudly raised his head and cawed a few times.

“Go ahead, and bring me as much detailed information about this as possible afterward,” Scott said with a smile.

“No problem,” Rimbaud assured him.

Scott walked to the classroom window, ready to release it, but it still had something to say.

"I also heard the official name of Medea's organization: the All Wizarding Society," it said with particular pride. "I now have a partial list of All Wizarding Society members, especially those currently working in the Ministry of Magic."

“Good.” Scott laughed again. “You truly are my best helper, Rimbaud.”

He took out his notebook and pen and wrote down a long list of names as Rimbaud read aloud.

After finishing writing, Scott looked at the list with a headache, "Is this only part of it?"

Even just a portion of it is already astonishing.

Especially those currently working at the Ministry of Magic, ranging from the Minister of Magic to low-level clerks in obscure departments, there's something for everyone.

Moreover, they are distributed very evenly across all departments.

"It seems Medea is almost ready to change dynasties at any time," Scott said with a sigh.

“There’s another matter,” Rimbaud added. “Regarding the Death Eaters’ attack on Ministry of Magic officials and some civilians, apart from the pro-Voldemort faction which hasn’t taken any action, the other two factions within the Ministry of Magic are doing their best to find the culprits, but there has been no progress.”

Scott nodded. "That's not surprising. If Voldemort dared to do that, he must have been confident he wouldn't be tracked down. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the showdown between the witch and the demon king."

Next, Rimbaud said goodbye to Scott.

It seems to have already gone completely wild, or become another Eddie, eager to fly into the crowd and observe more "fun things".

"Be careful. Don't forget, Medea knows you exist and has even tried to harm you before."

Scott gave it a few instructions and then released it.

The news from Carol and Roll was like a diversion for Scott; it brought him some pleasant cheer, but that was all.

But to Scott's surprise, on Friday night just one day later, he saw Elijah Caro himself inside Hogwarts.

This boy, who likes to give a crooked, "wicked" smile, seems to have really gone mad.

He somehow sneaked into Hogwarts, donned an ordinary invisibility cloak, and lurked beneath Ravenclaw Tower at night, preparing to ambush Scott.

Little did he know, how could an ordinary invisibility cloak conceal the magical fluctuations emanating from his body?

In Scott's perception, his presence was as conspicuous as a burning candle in the dark.

Chapter 380 Carlo's Utter Madness

On Friday night, Scott left Professor Flitwick's office close to curfew, and the castle was deserted.

Before even reaching the base of the Ravenclaw Tower, he sensed magical fluctuations from afar behind the stone wall on the right side of the tower.

Although it had been a long time since he last sensed Elijah Caro's magic, and although the nature of the magic he perceived had changed significantly, Scott still managed to identify the source of that magic in the shortest amount of time.

After all, Elijah Caro had left a deep impression on him; he was an enemy whom he had carefully marked.

As a cautious fellow, Scott would never forget the magic of his enemies.

However, he never expected to see this enemy again under such circumstances.

Scott smiled silently as he walked down the left-hand corridor of the tower.

It has to be said that Elijah Caro's appearance was somewhat too coincidental.

Having just received dueling instruction from Professor Flitwick, Scott was exhausted and weak, his physical strength and magic power nearly depleted, and his condition was extremely poor.

It is no secret that Scott now regularly trains under Professor Friev.

Because his own combat strength was now less than one-tenth of what it used to be, Scott immediately stopped in his tracks after sensing Carlo's magic and stood behind a thick stone pillar in the corridor.

Physical exhaustion also affected his magical perception range; at this moment, he was only about 200 meters away from the stone wall where Carlo was.

Furthermore, he wasn't sure if Carlo, hiding behind the stone wall, had somehow spotted his arrival from afar.

No, he quickly realized it.

Carlo had indeed seen him, because when he stopped, he could sense that Carlo's magic had begun to move, and it was clearly heading in his direction.

Judging from the situation, Scott seemed to be at a complete disadvantage at this point.

But Scott didn't panic.
