The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

The idea of ​​using that little Thestral to lure him here probably came from someone who knew him and Luna quite well.

Scott already had someone in mind to suspect.

"Enough with the nonsense, Amicus." Alecto Carlo frowned impatiently. "Hurry up and deal with this little mudblood. He needs to pay a heavy price for the death of our nephew, Elijah!"

Amicus Kalo glanced at her and nodded. "Understood."

In an instant, Scott tightened his grip on his wand, and no one saw that he was secretly holding a golden acorn in his other hand.

Before the Carlo siblings could make a move, he activated the spell that Savannah had sealed within the golden acorn.

"The root of the sacred tree".

Not far in front of the Carlo siblings, several thick tree roots burst out of the ground, lashing at them with a sharp whooshing sound.

Since Scott didn't wave his wand, the Carol siblings obviously didn't notice the sudden attack. They both cried out in pain as they were whipped away by the thick tree root.

Just then, Scott keenly sensed another hidden magic flash by.

However, time was of the essence, and he did not have time to investigate further.

"Send the signal!" he shouted calmly.

Roger quickly raised his wand, and a red spark shot out from it, instantly soaring into the sky.

At the same time, Scott raised his wand as fast as he could.

"Flocks of birds!"

"Gah gah... gah..."

With a series of harsh cries, jet-black crows began to emerge from the tip of Scott's wand.

Scott put the golden acorn in his pocket, pulled Luna along, and ran a few steps to meet up with his three roommates.

"Gah...ga ga ga..."

The flock of crows grew denser, circling and dancing around the group, their black feathers scattering gracefully from the sky.

"Heart-piercing and bone-scraping!"

Avada Kedavra!

Just then, two spells, one red and one green, flew over from the other side.

"quack……"

Several crows rushed forward, using their bodies to block the two evil spells, then fell from the sky with screams.

“How dare they!” Milton’s voice trembled slightly. “This…this is…”

"Stop thinking about it, fight back now!"

Roger gave a stern reminder.

"Crushed to pieces!"

He waved his wand in the direction from which the two spells had come.

The Shattering Spell struck a large tree, accompanied by a dull thud, causing a layer of bark to explode and wood chips to fly everywhere.

"Attack, don't stop," Scott told his companions.

Upon hearing his voice, Eddie, Milton, and Luna all joined in.

With Roger continuing his attack, the four of them attacked simultaneously, forcing the Carol siblings to hide behind a tree and refrain from showing themselves.

Scott smiled and took the opportunity to wave his wand repeatedly.

Click, click...

Where the Carlo siblings were, two adjacent oak trees nearby began to move.

The tall trees instantly transformed into rough human figures, their thick branches intertwining to become enormous hands, and their twisted roots becoming feet, pulling them out of the earth.

Four enormous hands crossed and slammed down hard towards where the Carlo siblings were.

Bang!

A loud bang.

The ground trembled slightly from the powerful slam of the "Oak Guardian".

Just then, Scott briefly sensed another person's magical fluctuations.

A very slight, well-hidden fluctuation of magical energy.

If his magical perception hadn't become increasingly refined, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect such subtle clues.

But at that moment, he still had no time to pay attention to these things.

In his perception, the magical fluctuations belonging to the Carlo siblings had instantly changed location.

He knew very well that the Carlo siblings had used Apparition to get behind them.

Avada Kedavra!

The deadly green light came on again.

"Gah...gagga..."

The flock of crows bravely blocked the path of the Death Curse, their black feathers fluttering, and several crows suddenly fell into the mud.

Boom!Boom!thump...

Heavy footsteps sounded, and two "Oak Guardians" strode over and stood guard beside Scott and his companions.

"Let's go!" Alecto Carlo's voice rang out.

“But…” Amicus Caro seemed to hesitate.

Avada Kedavra!

Another green light appeared.

This time, the crows managed to dodge in time.

The "Oak Guardian" standing at the front waved its huge hand.

Bang!

A muffled thud.

The Oak Guardian's hand blocked the Killing Curse, yet it itself was not seriously damaged.

"How is that possible!"

Amycus Caro exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, Scott's tense body suddenly relaxed.

“It’s alright now,” he told his companions.

"Divine Sharpness Without a Shadow!"

Snape's voice rang out almost simultaneously with his speech.

When Snape suddenly spoke, the Carol siblings immediately Apparated away from the Forbidden Forest.

"Severus!"

Professor Flitwick's displeased voice followed immediately.

At the same time, a spotted cat appeared nimbly and swiftly in front of several students, its body stretching and transforming into Professor McGonagall with a serious expression.

"Are you all alright? Is anyone hurt?"

Professor McGonagall raised her wand and glanced back at the group.

“We’re fine, Professor,” Scott replied quickly.

Professor McGonagall finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up at the two "oak guardians" standing beside the students and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

“Well done, Mr. Trollope,” she praised Scott. “Amazing transformations.”

As she spoke, Professors Snape and Flitwick walked over.

Professor Flitwick immediately checked on his students and, seeing that everyone was alright, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Merlin! I'm so glad you're all alright!" he said happily.

Professor McGonagall asked, "What about the two Death Eaters?"

“Apparition escaped,” Snape said.

Professor Flitwick looked up at him, and his previously pleased expression fell.

“We could have caught those two thugs who attacked the students,” he said, disgruntled. “If you hadn’t spoken up so suddenly, Severus.”

Snape remained silent, his face grim.

He glanced at a few students, then looked at Scott.

“It’s you again, our genius Trollope,” he said in his distinctive tone. “Looks like you’re even more of a troublemaker than our savior Potter.”

He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a forced, insincere smile.

“Minerva, perhaps you could accept transferring these reckless Ravenclaws to Gryffindor.”

With that, he tossed his robe aside, turned, and left.

Scott glanced at his retreating figure, his black robes billowing, then at the expressions on Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick's faces. Needless to say, both professors looked rather displeased.

After a long while, Professor McGonagall looked at the students again. "Can anyone tell me what happened? Why did you all end up in the Forbidden Forest?"

“I saw a Thestral fall from the sky,” Luna said, stepping forward to speak.

She pointed to the injured Thestral lying in the grass on the other side.

Professor McGonagall glanced at Thestrals in surprise and nodded.

She pursed her lips and said, "Next time you encounter something like this, you should learn to notify your professor immediately."

The students all nodded obediently.

“I’m sorry, Professor, it’s all because of me,” Scott said. “According to them, they came for me, including luring Professor Dumbledore away and injuring Thestrals, all of which were premeditated.”
