The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"Scott."

Just then, Luna emerged somewhat laboriously from the crowd in front of the stands.

"Luna?"

Scott put down his binoculars and reached out to help her.

"Why did you come to the back row?" he asked. "You can see better if you're in the front row."

“I want to watch it with you,” Luna said.

"Oh, you can sit here, Luna."

Eddie, who was originally sitting next to Scott, stood up and offered his seat.

He winked at Scott and slipped away to the other side.

"Thank you," Luna said, then sat down.

The game started.

"Gryffindor!"

Throughout the match, Luna cheered for Gryffindor.

Of course, Scott would also side with Gryffindor over Slytherin.

On the field, most of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were waving small flags that read "Gryffindor".

The Gryffindor players did not disappoint the support of most of the school. After several hours of intense competition, they narrowly defeated the Slytherin team and won the championship.

In the main stands, Professor McGonagall laughed without any restraint, while Mr. Weasley and the other Gryffindor parents were practically beaming with joy.

Old Malfoy and the other Slytherin parents looked ashen-faced. Snape fared slightly better; though his expression wasn't pleasant either, he still managed to clap in a perfunctory manner.

All the Gryffindors were having a wild party.

Not only the students, but Sirius Black was also incredibly excited. He leaped down from the high stands and rushed onto the field like a mad dog, embracing his godson tightly.

“They’re so happy,” Luna said.

“Of course I’d be happy to win,” Scott said, “but it doesn’t matter, this year’s College Cup still belongs to Ravenclaw.”

Luna immediately laughed, "We'll be very happy then..."

Just then, she turned around and glanced back.

“Scott.” She tugged at Scott’s sleeve and pointed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. “Look, it’s flying.”

Scott looked in the direction she was pointing and realized she was referring to the little Thestral.

"It's grown up and learned to fly," Luna said with some relief. "That's wonderful."

“Yes,” Scott chimed in.

Both of them looked up at the little Thestral flying unsteadily over the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

Suddenly, the little Thestral flying in the air seemed to stiffen its wing flapping.

“Something’s not right.” Scott narrowed his eyes. “It seems like it can’t fly anymore.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little Thestral's wings stopped moving completely, and its entire body began to plummet straight down.

"Come on!"

Luna quickly pulled Scott down from the stands.

"What happened?" Roger asked from behind.

“The Thestral in the Forbidden Forest is injured,” Scott replied hastily, then quickened his pace.

"Let's go help!"

Roger followed with Milton and Eddie.

Scott grabbed Luna's hand and ran, quickly reaching the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"What exactly happened?"

Behind him, Eddie asked breathlessly.

“That little Thestral fell from the sky on its first flight,” Scott explained to his three roommates who couldn’t see the Thestral.

“Then let’s go check on it quickly,” Milton said worriedly. “Hopefully it’s alright.”

The group then entered the forbidden forest.

After entering the forbidden forest, their speed inevitably slowed down, but they still managed to reach the injured Thestral within 20 minutes.

"Here!"

Scott used his magical senses to locate the little Thestral lying in the grass.

Luna quickly crouched down to take a closer look. "It broke both its legs."

Scott pulled out his wand and waved it.

"Healed completely!"

“I can only see some bloodstains,” Roger asked. “Is it alright?”

"There is no danger to his life, but I can only provide basic treatment."

Scott raised his wand, letting the white light envelop the Thestral's wounds.

Luna squatted down and gently stroked the Thestral's head and neck to soothe it.

“Then we need to send it to Mrs. Pomfrey,” Scott added.

He asked his three roommates to make a simple stretcher and told them the approximate dimensions needed.

The three roommates responded and ran to the side to use the Chopping Charm to cut down any usable branches and vines.

At that moment, Scott's expression changed.

He turned around and tackled Luna to the ground.

A red spell flew over their heads and struck a tree trunk nearby.

At the same time, Scott's wand trembled.

"Armor protects you!"

boom!

Another red spell flew in from another direction and collided with the transparent magic barrier that appeared in front of Roger.

"Watch out!" Scott shouted a warning.

At that moment, Eddie cleverly pulled Milton to Roger's side.

Scott cautiously and slowly got up from the ground, but was not attacked again.

He looked intently at a large tree in the distance.

“Amicus Carlo, Alector Carlo,” he called out, “I have sensed your magic.”

"Hey hey hey..."

"Well done, you little mud-blood."

The Carlo siblings emerged from behind the tree, their faces bearing gloomy smiles.

“What do you want?” Scott pointed his wand at the two of them. “Don’t forget, this is Hogwarts.”

Chapter 399 The Attack That Ended Suddenly

"Don't forget, this is Hogwarts."

As Scott spoke, his three roommates also came to their senses and took out their wands.

Behind him, Luna also got up from the ground.

"Hey hey hey..."

Amicus Caro chuckled and stared at Scott with a contemptuous look.

His sister, Alecto Caro, glanced at Luna behind Scott with a gloomy look and smiled knowingly.

“I know this is Hogwarts, Mudblood,” Amicus Caro said in a voice that sounded even hoarser than Rimbaud’s, “but it doesn’t matter…”

He glanced at Scott and his companions.

"It won't take us more than a few minutes to deal with you little brats; we have plenty of time."

Upon hearing his words, the students' expressions changed.

Roger shouted, "Dumbledore is on the pitch, not far from here. If you do anything bad, you won't be able to escape!"

"Crushed to pieces!"

Alecto Caro suddenly attacked, shattering the armored spell in front of Roger.

Roger, along with Eddie and Milton behind him, involuntarily took a step back.

"Hahahahaha..."

Amicus Carlo laughed loudly.

"Are you expecting Dumbledore to come and save you?" he said dismissively. "Unfortunately, he's probably no longer at Hogwarts."

Scott's calm voice rang out, "So that's why you dared to come here and attack us? Someone helped you lure the principal away?"

"Yes."

Amicus Caro waved his wand.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, but rather wanted to toy with these young wizards like a cat playing with mice.

Looking at his performance, Scott immediately said, "It seems that the little Thestral wasn't injured by accident."

“It was just a small experiment,” Amicus Caro did not deny. “I didn’t expect it would actually attract you.”

He stared at Scott with malice, "Little Mudblood."

Scott's mind raced, and he thought of many things in an instant.
