The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"Ravenclaw College will be deducted 5 points for making loud noise in the hallway."

A voice that didn't belong to them suddenly rang out.

That distinctive tone ruthlessly revealed the visitor's identity.

Scott's three roommates, who were cheering, immediately fell silent.

Snape appeared from around the corner of the corridor, sneered, his black robes billowing as he strode past them.

The three startled people only breathed a sigh of relief when he pushed open the door to Professor McGonagall's office and walked in.

“Scott!” Eddie stared, lowering his voice. “Why didn’t you warn us?”

Roger stepped forward and wrapped his thick arms tightly around Scott's neck.

“Eddie is right. I believe you sensed Snape’s magic a long time ago, but you didn’t say anything.”

“This is not my fault,” Scott said. “Who would have thought I’d get points deducted for this reason, especially since it’s the weekend.”

Snape was just in a bad mood and looking for an opportunity to annoy them.

But he still had some sense of proportion; a mere 5 points was nothing to Ravenclaw.

"Hmph," Eddie said somewhat unhappily, "We haven't even settled the matter of him suddenly speaking up and letting those two thugs escape. Who knows if he did it on purpose?"

"Shh, don't talk about this." Roger released Scott's neck and looked around. "Let the professors handle this."

Eddie glanced at the door to Professor McGonagall's office and shut his mouth.

"Let's go, let's go make up for the lunch we missed."

The group walked together toward the stairs.

Scott believed that Snape did it on purpose.

This would allow him to gain Voldemort's trust more easily.

This is also how he should behave as a double agent.

On the way to the kitchen, Eddie kept pouting, looking displeased.

Scott then asked him, "Didn't you say that other colleges also wanted to make promotional videos, and you took on the editing and post-production work? I'm already helping Fred and George with post-production now, and you still haven't asked me to borrow the [Magic Mirror]."

“Oh, yes, that was the case, but they haven’t contacted me since. They probably haven’t finished shooting the footage yet.” Eddie shrugged. “That’s normal. Not everyone can be a director…”

Once the topic turned to business, Eddie became quite talkative, forgetting the unpleasantness from earlier.

After chatting about some pleasant topics, the group went to the kitchen in the basement and enjoyed a delicious meal.

In the kitchen, Scott, seeing Lulu, suddenly remembered the house-elf Tata who had sneaked into Hogwarts with Carol.

"Lulu".

He simply called out, and Lulu ran to him as fast as she could.

"Respected little wizard, Lulu is here. Is there anything else you need? If you'd like something else to eat, I can make it for you right away!"

“There’s enough food, Lulu,” Scott said. “What I wanted to ask was about Tata, the house-elf that Carol brought with her that night…”

"Tata!" Lulu screamed, her eyes widening immediately. "Tata, that bad elf!"

“Yes, where is it now?” Scott asked.

Lulu turned and ran away, and soon returned somewhat roughly, dragging another house-elf along with her.

“Here she is! Tata is here!” Lulu shouted. “That wicked elf attacked the Hogwarts students, and the Headmaster told Lulu to watch her. Lulu and her friends have been keeping an eye on her and haven’t let her escape!”

Scott looked at Tata, who was being pulled around by Lulu.

Tata looked rather miserable.

There was a scar on his forehead that hadn't fully healed, and his body was covered in bluish-purple bruises. The tea towel he was wearing had turned into a dirty rag.

"It's you!"

Tata glared at Scott with hatred, her tennis ball-sized eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

"It was you, it was you who caused my little master to be taken away!" It raised its withered fingers at Scott.

How dare you!

Lulu screamed and punched Tata in the chest, knocking it to the ground.

Tata wailed loudly, "My poor little master, it's all Tata's fault for being useless!"

As it spoke, it got up and slammed its head against the table leg.

Clang.

The food on the table was knocked over and spilled, adding another wound to Tata's forehead.

"You naughty little elf!"

Lulu roared angrily, rushed up and pounced on Tata, knocking it to the ground and beating it hard.

"Bad Tata!"

"You've done something bad again, Tata!"

"How dare you attack a young wizard from Hogwarts!"

The other house-elves in the kitchen were stunned.

A moment later, they also dropped what they were doing and rushed over, starting to beat Tata up.

The kitchen was in complete chaos, with Tata's wails echoing throughout.

Just then, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Harry walked in with Ron and Hermione, looking at the chaotic scene in shock.

"What are you doing!" Hermione screamed and rushed forward. "Stop! Stop!"

The house-elves all obediently stopped.

Hermione gasped and covered her mouth when she saw Tata lying on the ground covered in wounds.

"How could this be?" She looked at the pitiful Tata in disbelief.

"what happened?"

"So even house-elves fight each other?"

Harry and Ron walked over to Scott and the others and asked quietly.

At this moment, Hermione turned around and glared angrily at Scott and the others.

"It's unbelievable that you just stood by and watched this happen?"

Scott glanced at her, then calmly continued eating.

“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding,” Milton said.

"What misunderstanding?" Hermione asked somewhat aggressively. "All I saw was you enjoying your meal while coldly watching a poor house-elf get beaten up!"

Eddie shrugged. "To be honest, it's not pitiful."

Hermione got even angrier. "Does she have to be beaten to death to be considered pitiful?"

Eddie shook his head, then pursed his lips, and continued eating calmly, just like Scott.

"Hermione!" Harry rushed over and grabbed her. "We should find out what happened first."

Hermione's breathing became rapid.

"It's very clear that these poor little guys are doing unpaid labor! No rest, no wages, not even a decent set of clothes!"

She glared at Scott and his group again.

"What's even more terrifying is that they are still foolishly bullying each other, precisely because of the wizards' cruel exploitation and indifferent indifference!"

Her voice was loud and filled with anger.

The house-elves listened while shaking their heads wildly.

They immediately started screaming as soon as Hermione finished speaking.

"horrible!"

"too frightening!"

"rest!"

"Wages!"

"clothes!"

"That's terrifying!"

"How could there be such a terrifying little wizard!"

"This is a crime!"

"A good house-elf never needs these!"
