The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

The interview was met with thunderous applause.

Scott thought the Gryffindors probably clapped their hands until they were red.

With that, the promotional video came to an end.

When the performance finally ended, the Gryffindors clapped enthusiastically once again.

The Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students applauded politely, but the Slytherins remained unmoved with sour faces.

After a long while, the applause subsided.

Just as Dumbledore was about to speak from the teachers' table, all the Gryffindor students sprang into action.

The quick-thinking Fred and George took off running, and the other students swarmed after them.

Despite being surrounded and pursued, the twins failed to escape and ultimately suffered retaliation.

Whether they were already unhappy or were laughing happily, no one showed any mercy.

Surprisingly, Professor McGonagall did not stop the "turmoil" that occurred.

Dumbledore, who had been interrupted, watched with amusement.

When the crowd dispersed again, the terrible state of Fred and George was finally revealed.

Antlers grew on their heads, their ears became very long, their skin turned black, chives grew from their nostrils, and two long front teeth protruded from their lips.

Fred and George helped each other to their feet, glanced at each other, and then turned their heads away in disgust.

The auditorium erupted in laughter once again.

Even the professors in the faculty section couldn't help but chuckle.

Fred and George stumbled to their seats and began to fake cry, wiping away nonexistent tears.

After a long while, the laughter, which had been rising and falling, finally stopped.

Dumbledore stood up from the teachers' table.

"First of all, thank you to the two Weasleys for the joyful moment they brought us."

As he spoke, he waved his wand.

A beam of white light fell from the sky, accurately enveloping Fred and George, and the changes on the two quickly subsided.

Fred and George immediately stood up and bowed to Dumbledore with somewhat exaggerated gestures.

Dumbledore nodded to the two of them, then looked at the other students in the Great Hall.

"Another academic year has come to an end, and here I would like to present the winners of this year's College Cup."

At the Ravenclaw table, Scott's classmates sat up straight, many of them wearing expressions that were clearly smug yet pretending to be indifferent, which was somewhat comical.

"If I remember correctly."

Dumbledore waved his wand again, and the Great Hall was filled with Ravenclaw flags.

Congratulations Ravenclaw!

At his lead, everyone began to applaud.

The Ravenclaws, who had been feigning composure, completely abandoned their composure and threw their hats at the ceiling.

Just then, a delicious and abundant feast suddenly appeared, piling up on the long table in front of them.

Everyone was eager to get started.

“I must say…” Eddie, holding a chicken leg with his mouth full of grease, still managed to say, “I hope Professor Black will continue to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts next year.”

Roger reminded him, "Professor Black is now a teaching assistant."

“I know,” Eddie said, “but I prefer Professor Black competing with Snape to see who can deduct the most points.”

Scott glanced toward the teachers' table.

At that moment, Sirius was whispering to Lupin.

He didn't know if either of them would resign.

Of course, they were all core members of the Order of the Phoenix, and after finally managing to retire unscathed this year, Dumbledore might not let them take on that dangerous position again.

In the original book, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the next school year was Alastor Moody, disguised as Barty Crouch Jr., but the situation in the wizarding world has changed so much that Scott can no longer "predict" who will fill the position next school year.

Of course, he didn't know whether the three-way battle described in great detail in the "original work" would actually take place as scheduled.

After dinner, Scott and his roommates gathered again in the common room to chat.

“I’m going to the United States again with my dad this summer,” Eddie said. “Hopefully I can meet some American wizards, and of course, I’ll bring you gifts.”

Roger was not optimistic about his wishes, saying, "If you knew the annoying rules of the American wizarding world, you wouldn't have high expectations for American wizards."

Eddie, however, didn't seem to care. "Who knows? You know, the situation in the British wizarding world isn't exactly good right now."

“I’m also planning to go abroad,” Milton said. “My destination is Vienna, Austria, and I hope I can successfully learn how Muggles travel abroad.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of your plan,” Scott said, looking at him curiously.

“It’s a recent idea,” Milton smiled. “Since my musical talent was restored, I’ve overturned my previous plans. I want to go out more often, to experience more music, and at the same time, to search for my mother’s whereabouts.”

Scott patted him on the shoulder. "Be careful, and I hope you meet your mother safely."

"Thank you."

The next morning, Scott and his companions boarded the Hogwarts Express and arrived at King's Station in London at noon.

At Platform 9¾, he said goodbye to Luna and met her father, Mr. Lovegood, a wizard with an artistic temperament.

After leaving the platform, he said goodbye to his three roommates outside the station, and then arrived at London Heathrow Airport accompanied by Professor Flitwick.

In the afternoon, Scott walked out of Barajas Airport in Madrid, Spain.

"Scott!"

Outside the airport exit, his cousin Ramiro was waving to him from afar.

"cousin."

Scott walked over with a smile.

"It's so nice to see you again!"

Ramiro gave Scott a bear hug as always.

How are you doing?

"Long time no see," Scott said with a smile. "How is everyone?"

"Everyone is doing well, and of course, everyone misses you."

Ramiro patted Scott on the back and led him toward the parking lot.

"Isn't the magical world too isolated? I don't think it's good that I can't keep in touch with my family often."

Scott didn't say that he wasn't contacting his family for safety reasons, he just said, "It's okay, I'll graduate in two more years."

"And after graduation?" Ramiro asked curiously. "Will you live in the world of ordinary people?"

Scott thought for a moment and could only reply, "We don't know yet. We'll have to see how things go in the wizarding world."

He knew that, given his situation, graduating from Hogwarts would likely mean entering a dangerous period, and in order not to implicate his family, he would probably have to stay far away from everyone.

But he doesn't want to talk about these things right now.

After the two got into the car, Ramiro asked many questions while driving.

He remained interested in Scott's life at the magic school.

Scott then played along and told some funny and interesting stories.

Ramiro listened with great interest.

When the two drove back to their villa in Salamanca, Scott's family was already waiting outside.

Everyone came, including his parents, uncles and aunts, cousins.

After Scott got out of the car, Amelia was the first to rush up and hug him tightly.

"Oh, my dear son."

She gave Scott a big kiss on the cheek.

I miss you so much!

"Mother."

Scott was a little embarrassed, but mostly happy.

He reached out and hugged Emilia, saying, "I missed you too, Mom."

"Oh, you've grown taller again, baby."

Emilia looked up at Scott, as if she couldn't get enough of looking at him.

“Of course, I’m almost 16,” Scott said with a smile.

Emilia nodded repeatedly. "Of course, darling, I'm all ready. We'll celebrate your birthday together next month."

She then let go of Scott and led him toward the others.

Scott quickly greeted the other relatives, "Long time no see, Dad, Uncle Caleb, Aunt Flora, Cousin Ramos, Cousin Adeline..."

Everyone smiled at him, even his usually stern Uncle Caleb's expression softened.

Aunt Flora was as warm as ever, holding Scott's hand tightly and asking him many questions with concern.

Scott patiently answered each question.

Of course, Auntie still didn't seem to know Scott's wizard identity, and she kept complaining that Emilia and Michael wouldn't help Scott transfer to Madrid.

After a while, Aunt Flora finally let Scott's innocent parents go and took Emilia and her cousin Adelina to prepare dinner.
