The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Just then, Scott saw Luna waving at him from the window in the distance.

Scott got up and walked over to her.

“I’ve prepared something for you,” Luna said. “It’s an invention of my dad’s, and I had him send it over.”

She pulled Scott to a table and pulled out a few strange-looking things from her knitted handbag.

A headdress with two curved, golden hearing aid-like devices on it.

A headband with two sparkling little blue wings stuck on it.

A small, bright orange radish.

Scott remembered seeing these things in Luna's second-floor studio, where they were worn on the head of a Ravenclaw statue.

Luna pointed to the headdress with the receiver, "This is a harassment siphon that can eliminate any area around a thinker who is distracted."

“And this,” she pointed to the headband with small wings, “is a spiritual propulsion device that can guide you into a higher state of mind.”

Finally, there are the small, orange-red radishes.

"This is the airship Li, which can enhance the ability to receive unusual things."

Luna shoved all three items into Scott's hands.

"I think they can definitely help you."

"……Thanks."

Scott looked at the three bizarre inventions of Mr. Lovegood in his hands.

Luna looked up at him.

“I know you don’t really believe in these things,” she said evasively, “but you should take them with you; they might come in handy.”

"Okay, I'll bring it."

It doesn't take up much space anyway.

Scott stuffed all three items into his deformed lizard skin bag.

“That’s good.” Luna laughed. “You will definitely become a warrior, Scott.”

Scott smiled and said, "I hope so."

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone at Hogwarts gathered on the wide lawn outside the castle.

Dumbledore led a student delegation of 25 people to one side, while Professor McGonagall and the other professors led the remaining students to see them off.

"Time is almost up."

Dumbledore drew the Elder Wand.

"We're about to set off."

Scott watched his movements with great curiosity.

To date, he still doesn't know what kind of transportation they should take to get to France.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time.

Chapter 459 Beauxbatons School of Magic

"Separation at the top of the tower".

As Dumbledore waved his wand, a rumbling sound rang out.

Everyone turned around and looked in surprise at the magnificent roof of the auditorium.

At this moment, the rocket-shaped spire in the center of the roof began to rotate at Dumbledore's command.

“Hmm…” Dumbledore also looked up, glancing at the spire with some concern, muttering, “Even though I became the headmaster of Hogwarts, I don’t know all the secrets of this castle… It hasn’t been activated for centuries…”

Only Scott and a few others who were nearby heard some of his words.

Scott looked up as the tower floated up and slowly detached itself from the auditorium roof.

This tower is actually a "vehicle"?

In the original story, facing an attack from Voldemort and the Death Eaters, the Hogwarts students could only escape to Hogsmeade through a secret passage. Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, he suspected that Ravenclaw had told Dumbledore this.

This is what's known as the butterfly effect.

Scott thought.

In the original novel, Ms. Grey never returned to that study, nor did she wake Ravenclaw.

Scott's presence changed something, causing Peeves, who was used to wandering around Hogwarts, to happen to end up in that secluded underground music room.

Medea's consciousness was awakened because Peeves was captured by Medea's arrangement a thousand years ago in the underground music room.

Because Medea's magical oath influenced many students, Helena mustered the courage to enter the study in order to stop her.

When she confronted the mistakes she made during her lifetime, she awakened the consciousness of Ravenclaw, who was dormant in the portrait.

Perhaps the existence of the Ravenclaw portrait will allow the professors to learn more about the castle's secrets and make Hogwarts safer and harder to conquer.

As Scott pondered, the spire flew overhead, casting a massive shadow.

Everyone looked up, their mouths agape.

Roger said to Scott, "So we're going to take this 'rocket' to Beauxbatons?"

"Cool!" Fred yelled. "That's so cool!"

He was extremely excited and turned around to wave vigorously at George in the crowd in the distance.

Amid gasps of surprise from the crowd, the spire slowly descended onto the lawn.

Upon closer inspection, Scott discovered that although the spire was very tall, it was not very large in area.

Judging from the outside, the tower is far too small to fit more than twenty people.

But nobody is worried about that.

“Now it’s time to start it,” Dumbledore said. “Let me think about what to do.”

He waved his wand again.

"The spire is mobilized."

As he chanted the incantation, the stone wall beneath the spire caved in, revealing two magnificent doors.

The red wooden gate is inlaid with various metals that form the Hogwarts school crest.

At the same time, the bricks below the gate moved to form several wide stone steps.

"A wild boar flew in."

Dumbledore waved his wand again.

Following his gaze, two dark figures rose into the air at the gates of Hogwarts Castle.

The two winged boar stone sculptures that usually hovered on either side of the gate flew over and landed on the pillars on either side of the spire gate.

clack clack...

Immediately afterwards, a sound like mechanical turning came from inside the tower, and the eyes of the two boar stone sculptures began to glow, with white mist spewing from their nostrils.

Click.

The two large doors slowly opened, and a red carpet extended from inside the spire, covering the stone steps at the entrance.

"Let's go, let's set off."

Dumbledore was the first to walk towards the door.

Scott and his companions followed behind him, carrying their luggage, and headed into the tower.

"come on!"

"Win the championship!"

Long live Hogwarts!

A chorus of cheers and encouragement came from behind.

They turned back and waved, then stepped onto the stone steps and entered the gate.

"Oh, it's a pity Warrington didn't show up," Fred said regretfully. "I was hoping to thank him properly before I left."

He's afraid you'll drive him crazy!

Scott thought to himself.

Stepping through the gate, a spacious hall comes into view.

Sure enough, the interior of the spire was much larger than it appeared from the outside.

The interior decoration style is similar to that of the Great Hall at Hogwarts, only smaller in size.

There was only one long table in the center, which could seat more than thirty people.

Despite saying that, Scott felt that the hall could easily accommodate all the teachers and students of Hogwarts without being too crowded.

Dumbledore walked to the head of the long table and turned to face everyone.

Behind him were two staircases that wound their way up from either side, leading to the upper floor.

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the door behind them closed, shutting out the cheers from outside the tower.

"Hold on tight, let's go!"

With his command, the entire spire once again suspended in mid-air and soared upwards.

The whole process was very smooth, and Scott did not have any problem with losing his balance.

They all went to the window and waved to the outside.

"champion!"

"Hogwarts! Champions!"

They heard several hysterical screams and immediately burst into laughter.

As the spire rose higher and higher, the crowds of people seeing them off gradually shrank from their sight.
