The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

At this point, Roger said with great frustration, "Oh! How could I not have thought of that! No one thought of that at the time!"

Scott felt this was just habitual thinking.

Because this is Hogwarts, no matter what happens, people will always subconsciously make some mysterious associations.

The next morning, Scott dragged Eddie out of bed.

"Wake up." He patted Eddie on the shoulder twice. "Eddie! It's your turn to act!"

Eddie rubbed his eyes, forcing himself to stay awake.

"Okay, watch me."

He quickly dressed and quietly slipped out the door.

Scott couldn't help but yawn; he had gone to bed too late the night before and was feeling a bit listless.

Eddie was a professional at handling rumors, not to mention that Scott's sensationalist writing was incredibly explosive. By breakfast time that day, the newly emerged "message" had spread among all the students.

While students who knew something about Dementors simply treated the rumor as a joke, some students who had no idea what Dementors were chose to believe it.

In short, although the idea that Gaunt and the Dementors had an heir sounds completely unbelievable, the students, whose lives were rather dull, were happy to discuss such a bizarre topic.

Scott, who was eating breakfast at the Ravenclaw table, heard the students around him having an enthusiastic discussion. He raised his glass of milk and clinked it with Eddie's, then turned to the Weasley twins and gestured to them from a distance.

George and Fred, who were still a little dazed, also raised their glasses with smiles.

Before the first class started, a large number of students began to gather in the third-floor corridor, all of them there to see the newly appeared messages.

Scott came here with the Ravenclaw students.

He casually walked to the window where the camera lens was installed and subtly activated the two puppets hidden under the vines on the outer wall.

Just as he told the twins, these two puppets were created by him using transfiguration after dismantling many sets of Wizard's Chess.

He can give them some simple, repetitive instructions to complete some mechanical tasks.

For example, right now, he has one puppet responsible for pressing the shutter every 3 minutes, and since a roll of film can take 36 shots, another puppet is responsible for changing the film every 108 minutes.

Although there will be some errors, this method is sufficient.

"Scott, you?"

Roger walked over, quietly pointed to the wall, and looked at Scott with a questioning gaze.

Scott just smiled and didn't answer him.

Roger seemed to understand something and didn't ask any more questions.

At this point, more and more students gathered around.

Students from each college reacted differently to this matter.

The Slytherin students all looked puzzled. The message seemed to be nothing more than a rumor targeting the Gaunt family, and apparently had nothing to do with them.

But the fact that it involved "Slytherin's successor" made them particularly uncomfortable.

Most of the Gryffindors were openly watching the spectacle, with many even pointing and whispering about the Slytherin students, occasionally letting out a burst of laughter.

The Hufflepuff students, however, kept a low profile. They mostly huddled together whispering, and no one went out of their way to provoke the Slytherins.

The Ravenclaws generally stood quite far away, and many of them were watching everything with a scrutinizing eye.

Of course, there was no shortage of discussion.

Scott overheard nearby Ravenclaw students discussing the Permanent Sticker Charm, while others speculated about who did it and why.

Even more absurdly, he even overheard people seriously discussing the possibility of a wizard and a Dementor combining.

This topic almost gave Scott a back injury.

He thought there was a reason why people thought the Ravenclaws were all crazy.

"Although we don't know who did it, they will definitely pay a heavy price!"

Malfoy's voice came from the other side; he was speaking angrily in a voice that was almost screaming.

"The heirs of Slytherin will not tolerate any insult!"

……

Chapter 059: Waiting for this matter to slowly develop.

"Torn apart!"

Malfoy angrily raised his wand and fired a cutting spell at the "shock symbol" on the wall.

The spell collided with the wall with a "snap," but the line of letters made of wire stuck to the wall remained completely undamaged.

Upon seeing this, the Gryffindor students burst into loud laughter.

Malfoy's face turned red with anger, and he waved his wand repeatedly.

"Torn apart!"

"Torn apart!"

"Torn apart!"

In a fit of rage, he cast several cutting spells in succession, but still saw no effect whatsoever.

This made the surrounding students laugh even louder, and even the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students laughed.

Malfoy's pale face turned even paler, and he glared fiercely at the people around him.

But no one was afraid of him; many people looked at him with mocking eyes.

Scott heard Fred shout from the crowd, "Should we call your dad for help? Oh, poor Malfoy!"

His words immediately elicited a burst of laughter.

"damn it!"

Malfoy gripped his wand and raised his hand again.

"Get out of the way, Malfoy!"

A senior Slytherin boy stepped forward and roughly pulled Malfoy away.

He gave Malfoy a cold look, drew his wand, and swung it, “Reducto!”

He swiftly cast a shattering spell, which was even more lethal than the cutting spell.

boom!

The spell struck the wall again, but still had no effect.

The Slytherin upperclassman's face immediately turned very ugly.

"What's going on, Stirrner?" his classmate asked him.

“It’s a Permanent Adhesion Charm,” Stryner said coldly. “Once this thing is stuck to the wall with the Permanent Adhesion Charm, Hogwarts Castle will treat it as a portrait and protect it.”

At that moment, Scott overheard two upperclassmen from Ravenclaw talking in hushed tones beside him.

"Ha, Stirrner has finally found it."

"I thought no one in Slytherin would have noticed this."

Scott curled his lips into a smile.

That's why he would use this method.

Of course, the protection that a castle automatically provides to things like portraits attached to it is also limited.

He remembered that in the original story, Sirius Black had vandalized the portrait that guarded the door in the Gryffindor common room.

But he also believed that ordinary students' magic couldn't reach this level unless the professor intervened.

Just then, Filch's angry shout came from the other end of the corridor, "You little rascals! What are you doing! Aren't you in class?! Gathering here and causing trouble!"

The Gryffindor students standing in front of him had made way for him, allowing him to see Stirner raising his wand against the wall.

"Gotcha! You little rascal who cast spells in the hallway!" Filch came running over quickly, carrying a set of cleaning tools and a bucket.

It was too late for Stryner to put his wand away; Filch put what he was holding on the ground and glared at him fiercely.

“It’s all because of you disobedient bastards…” he cursed, reaching out his dirty hand to grab Stirrner’s wrist.

"And you too!" Filch glared at the students around him. "I remember it's almost time for class!"

“Look at the wall, Mr. Filch.”

A student in the crowd reminded him.

“What good thing have you done now…” Filch turned his head and froze the moment he saw the “shocking headline”.

“This…this is truly…” he stammered, “If it was indeed that damned heir who harmed my Lady Lorris, then he is perhaps a hundred times more evil than the Dementor who gave birth to him.”

At this moment, Scott suppressed a laugh and looked away.

"Scott."

Eddie squeezed through from the other side and waved to Scott.

The two arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor.

“Filch is here, and the professors will find out soon,” Eddie whispered. “Sorry, it’s impossible to keep news that’s spread among the students from the professors.”

Scott chuckled softly. "Don't worry, Eddie. You've done a great job. Now, just let things develop."

Eddie looked at him, puzzled. "Is that enough? What if a professor comes along and destroys the message?"

Scott smiled meaningfully at him. "But none of the professors are here yet."

He patted Eddie on the shoulder, turned and went up the stairs, calling out to Roger loudly.

"Roger, let's go, it's time for class."

The first class that morning was about protecting magical creatures, and the Weasley twins quickly caught up with Scott and Roger after they left the castle.

“I thought Stryner and Filch would fight!” Fred said with great regret.

Roger asked curiously, "Oh! After we left, Stirner and Filch had a conflict?"

George said, "Filch wanted Stryner to help him clean the glowing words on the wall, but Stryner disagreed, saying he had to go to Potions class."
