The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

She asked Luna some questions and quickly expressed her admiration for her.

Unlike others, Ravenclaw could connect with Luna's seemingly magical thought process without any obstacles, even more smoothly than Scott, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

“This little girl may become a great wizard,” Ravenclaw told Scott. “Not only because of her talent, but also because she sees the world from a different perspective than most people. In short, it’s very interesting.”

Scott was not surprised by this.

Because he also thinks highly of Luna.

Next, Scott told Ravenclaw about the current state of the druids and sought her advice.

"You want to go to Avalon?" Ravenclaw asked.

Scott nodded. "If we could disrupt Slytherin's plans beforehand..."

“But breaking through the passage requires the scabbard of the Sword in the Lake,” Ravenclaw reminded him. “Salazar entered Avalon with the scabbard and then closed the passage from the inside.”

Scott said, "I think the Druids of the Doherty family must have a way to open the passage."

Slytherin disregarded the druids' objections and forcibly broke open the passage with their scabbards, causing heavy casualties.

Ravenclaw agreed with his guess, saying, "Then you should go. You have to do something in the face of prophecy."

Of course, like Luna, she advised Scott not to go alone.

“You’re too young, Scott. Your words don’t carry enough weight.”

Scott had to admit this as well.

Ravenclaw added, "Fortunately, times have changed. The fact that the heirs of the Druid priesthood also attended Hogwarts shows that Hogwarts still holds some weight for them today. If it were our time, I doubt anyone could have influenced those conservative Druids. Even Salazar only managed to do those things through violence."

“Perhaps Professor Flitwick would be willing to come with me,” Scott said.

Of course, if Dumbledore were to step in, those people would give him even more face.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore must be extremely busy dealing with Voldemort right now.

After finishing his conversation with Ravenclaw, Scott took out the Magic Mirror and began contacting Professor Flitwick.

"Scott? Oh, and Luna too, hello."

Professor Flitwick's face quickly appeared in the mirror.

"Hello, Professor."

Good afternoon, Professor.

Scott and Luna greeted Professor Flitwick at the same time.

“Oh, I heard about what happened last night. You did a great job, Scott,” Professor Flitwick said with a smile. “You and Albus are on the Daily Prophet’s cover, and now everyone knows that Ravenclaw has a genius student.”

"Oh……"

Scott and Luna exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

“We haven’t seen today’s Daily Prophet yet,” Scott said. “We went to visit Roger in St. Mungo first thing this morning.”

"Roger? He's injured?"

Professor Flitwick immediately became concerned about Roger's condition.

After listening to Scott's explanation, Professor Flitwick finally understood.

"So he was the one who was cursed by the mysterious man? Poor kid, thank goodness he's alright!"

Scott nodded and began to explain his current thoughts and the situation facing the Dougherty family, and then directly asked Professor Flitwick for help.

"Is this your idea?" Professor Flitwick asked, somewhat surprised. "Of course, I can go with you, but those druids might not listen to me."

Scott said, "I want to give it a try. We don't know when Medea will wake up, and now might be the best time."

Professor Flitwick nodded, acknowledging his idea.

“Then, tomorrow,” he said to Scott. “I’ll come to see you first thing tomorrow morning.”

"Thank you, Professor. I'm staying at the Weasleys' house now."

After ending the call, Scott sent another message to William, who was undercover at the All Witchcraft Society.

Not long after, William replied.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much progress on William's end.

But he still told Scott some intelligence.

Only those few wizards who were resurrected in terracotta bodies know where the woman is now. They are all under her control and would never betray her.

[I suspect that the lady made arrangements before she fell asleep. The most important thing for the entire Wizarding Council right now is to elect its own Minister of Magic.]

[They've already started making their move; their nominee is Mr. Grevis, the Secretary of the Minister's Office.]

Milton's father?

Scott was somewhat surprised.

but……

This may be the most suitable candidate.

The All-Witchcraft Society was not established for long, and among the members of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge, who had held the highest position in the past, was undoubtedly Minister.

But now that Fudge is dead, Mr. Grevis, who was appointed Secretary General, has become the highest-ranking official.

Although Mr. Grevis's position is not very high, with Mrs. Zabini's formidable connections, he certainly has a chance to rise to a higher position.

"Medea couldn't have been eyeing Mr. Grevis all along, could she?" Scott muttered.

"Why do you say that?" Luna asked curiously.

Scott told her, "Because Mrs. Zabini was married to Mr. Grevis through Medea's arrangement."

"Why him?" Luna asked, puzzled.

Scott didn't understand either.

Mr. Grevis doesn't seem to have anything that Medea would value.

Is it because they don't have a powerful family behind them, making them easier to control?

Scott shook his head, instinctively feeling that this couldn't be the reason.

Is there anything he hasn't discovered yet?

only……

Leaving aside the reasons why Medea chose Mr. Grevis... Scott recalled the time when Mr. Grevis secretly took Milton's mother to listen to his son's concert; perhaps he had not truly submitted to Medea.

Scott wasn't sure either.

Because there is another possibility...

This possibility was somewhat frightening, something Scott had never mentioned to Milton.

What if Milton's mother hadn't lied to him, and had truly left?

If Mr. Grevis and Mrs. Zabini married only for power, they would each lead separate lives after marriage.

If Mr. Grevis couldn't bear to part with his first love, and instead found Milton's runaway mother, forcibly keeping her by his side...

If that's the case, it's just too melodramatic.

Scott shook his head, trying not to think about that possibility.

He relayed William's message to Professor Flitwick and Ravenclaw, then bid farewell to Luna and Mr. Lovegood before heading to the Burrow.

Although Luna wanted to invite him to stay for dinner, Scott left to avoid further upsetting Mr. Lovegood's poor, fragile heart.

Mr. Lovegood visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he declined Luna's invitation.

Upon returning to the Burrow, Scott discovered that Hermione had already left.

Not only Hermione, but Bill and Charlie have also left to return to their workplaces.

But Harry is still here.

“Hermione’s gone home,” Harry said. “But I have to stay here. Sirius’s too busy to go home right now. Oh, and he’s become a full-fledged Auror.”

Sirius Black becomes an Auror?

Scott was extremely surprised to hear this news.

Given Sirius's unrestrained personality, it's hard to believe he would be willing to become an Auror.

"There's no other way. The Ministry of Magic is in dire need of manpower right now, and Sirius Black wants to do his part in the fight against the darkness."

Although Harry spoke with a sense of helplessness, he couldn't hide the pride in his voice.

Scott laughed and said, "It seems you really aspire to be an Auror."

“That’s right.” Harry said a little shyly, “If I could, I would like to become an Auror in the future.”

Harry's ideals were highly praised by Mrs. Weasley, who used them as a positive example to criticize the "unproductive" twins.

However, her criticisms were ineffective for Fred and George.

"Oh, did you hear that, George? Mom is still having such unrealistic dreams."

“I heard it, Fred. But I thought I was hallucinating.”

“Oh, Mom, I thought we’d known each other for 16 years and that we knew each other well enough.”

“That’s right, Mom, you’re not a young girl anymore. You’re way past the age of dreaming.”

The two men's banter infuriated Mrs. Weasley, who grabbed a spatula, ready to teach them a lesson, causing another chaotic scene in the Burrow.

Scott found it amusing.

Fred and George are even more unruly than Sirius, and they hate any form of constraint, so Mrs. Weasley's wish for her sons to succeed is clearly not going to be fulfilled.

Mrs. Weasley chased after the twins, panting and out of breath, but couldn't catch them. She could only stand there and scold them loudly.

Scott, who made the newspapers for participating in Dumbledore's massive Transfiguration, was also used as an example by her, which led to the twins teasing Scott quite a bit.

Therefore, Scott also saw the Daily Prophet that day.

Although Voldemort was featured on the front page, Scott's name appeared on the second page, accompanied by a photo of him and Dumbledore performing Transfiguration.

Scott, having witnessed the creation and stabilization of the massive passage from an outsider's perspective, also wanted to boast a little.
