The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

After the two monsters crawled out of the gate, they immediately spread their wings and flew up, landing around the stone platform where the control room was located.

Mr. Jolly's voice came from behind Scott again, "Go for it, Mr. Trolop, I look forward to seeing what you do!"

Scott smiled and put his wand back into its sheath inside his clothes.

Mr. Jolly immediately began shouting, "Oh, what is he doing? He's taken his wand back! Am I seeing things? Is the champion of Hogwarts going to forfeit?"

Trollope ignored the boos from the surrounding crowd due to the unreliable commentary and instantly completed the Animagus transformation.

Mr. Jolly immediately changed his tune, “It’s Animagus! He completed Animagus! Oh my god! He’s a genius!”

Scott transformed into a peregrine falcon and soared into the sky, ignoring the various noises around him, flying at lightning speed toward the control room on the stone platform.

Before the two griffins could react, he had already reached the stone platform.

However, just as he was preparing to fly directly into the control room, the two griffins finally launched their attack—

They took flight together, and at an unexpectedly fast speed.

Before Scott reached his destination, a griffin blocked the doorway to the control room, while another fiercely lunged at him.

A massive shadow fell, and the steel monster was many times larger than Scott's transformed peregrine falcon, bringing an unparalleled sense of oppression.

Although the griffin was fast, the peregrine falcon was even faster, and Scott dodged the griffin's attack with incredibly agile movements.

After passing the griffin, he turned and flew back below the stone platform, quickly transforming back into human form and landing on a huge rock.

"Roar!"

The griffin that had pounced on the attack roared and began to take the initiative, giving chase.

Scott drew his wand as fast as he could, waving it at a rock to the side while chanting a spell.

The Transformation Charm flashed, and the massive rock instantly transformed.

A giant raven bathed in raging flames took flight.

The fire raven was almost the same size as the two griffins, and it bravely flew towards the attacking griffins.

"Gah!"

The unpleasant cawing of the fire crows echoed across the sky.

It quickly extinguished the flames burning around its body and opened its mouth to spit out a scorching line of fire.

The flame was extremely hot, almost white in color.

At the same time, Scott waved his wand at the other rock again.

Splash!

With a splash, a giant sailfish encased in a massive water sphere leaped high into the air.

This sailfish, nearly five meters long, swam toward the stone platform, wagging its tail and shaking its head.

Then, Scott put away his wand again, transformed into a peregrine falcon, and soared into the sky.

Chapter 464: First item completed, second item prepared.

The heatwave rolled in, and the fire struck the attacking griffin.

zizi...

The fire raven gently turned its head, and a bright white line of fire left a long red scar on the griffin's massive steel body.

"Roar!"

The griffin roared, and glowing blue runes instantly spread across its entire body, erasing the long wound.

The scorching fire did not penetrate its surface defenses.

Scott, disguised as a peregrine falcon, did not stop upon seeing this, but instead flew upwards for a distance.

A crackling sound came from behind him. He looked down and saw the griffin raising its head and opening its beak, spewing a swirling storm towards him.

"Gah!"

The fire crow spread its wings and flew swiftly, blocking the storm and using the surging flames around its body to resist the storm's onslaught.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Scott accelerated and swooped down toward where the sailfish was.

The sailfish, now encased in a giant water sphere, had swum to the side of the stone platform.

The floating water sphere rose, parallel to the griffins guarding the entrance to the control room.

As the water sphere approached, the griffin landed on all fours, spread its wings, and let out a series of menacing roars at the sailfish.

The sailfish made no sound, but continued to wag its tail and move forward.

Scott lowered his altitude and followed behind it.

"Roar……"

The griffin blocking the control room door roared once more, its body also covered in blue-glowing runes, and it opened its mouth to spew out a spiraling storm.

boom!

Amidst the swirling dust, the swirling storm collided with the enormous water sphere, transforming the round sphere into an irregular shape.

Water splashed everywhere in the strong wind, as if a torrential downpour had taken place nearby.

But the size of the water sphere did not change, as Scott's sailfish continuously replenished the sphere with new water.

As Scott dodged the splash, he glanced back and saw his fire raven still desperately trying to stop the griffin from returning to the stone platform.

However, since this fire crow was a temporary creation hastily crafted by Scott using rocks, it could not compare to the alchemical beasts meticulously crafted by alchemists in either attack or defense.

It looked like it was about to succumb to the griffin's frenzied attack.

It seems we need to hurry.

At this moment, the storm in front of the control room door gradually subsided, and the deformed water sphere instantly returned to its round shape.

The sailfish suddenly accelerated, like a giant arrow, carrying a water sphere and arriving in front of the griffin in an instant.

Its long, sharp upper jaw broke through the water sphere like a sharp sword, slamming into the body of the steel monster.

boom!

With a loud, resounding clang, the griffin involuntarily took a few steps back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the sailfish retreated back into the water sphere and spewed out a jet of water.

The slender water blade struck the griffin's chest, producing a piercing screeching sound, and water and sparks flew together.

Although the water blade still failed to penetrate the alchemical griffin's outer defenses, it did prevent it from returning to the control room door.

Scott flew into the control room like a fleeting shadow, taking advantage of the peregrine falcon's small size compared to these behemoths.

"Roar!"

Two angry roars rang out at the same time.

The nearby griffin stretched out its huge claws and scratched at the control room, while the other griffin that had defeated the fire crow was already flying rapidly toward the stone platform.

Scott transformed back into human form as quickly as possible, raised his hand, and slammed it down on the large red button on the metal pillar in the control room.

Drip, drip.

The button is flashing red.

Instantly, both griffins fell silent, lying still on the ground, no longer making any movement.

"Incredible! Incredible! He succeeded!"

Scott snapped out of his reverie, and Mr. Jolly's passionate commentary and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience once again reached his ears clearly.

"He didn't use any spells, only three Transfiguration Charms throughout, and ended the match in the fastest possible time!"

"He completed the task in just five minutes, yes, five minutes!"

"Oh my god, this is an amazing transformation technique I've never seen before! I bet nobody has ever seen anything like it!"

"I also have something to announce, which I just found out myself! It's unbelievable, everyone should remember the Quidditch World Cup final held in England three months ago!"

Mr. Joley suddenly mentioned that nightmarish World Cup final, and the room fell silent.

Scott initially thought the French Ministry of Magic official was trying to mock the British Ministry of Magic's incompetence, but he suddenly changed the subject—

"The young wizard who helped Mr. Dumbledore open a path of life for everyone is none other than this warrior from Hogwarts, the 16-year-old Scott Trollope!"

"Yes, according to Mr. Dumbledore, this youngest warrior truly played a vital role that day!"

Amidst the uproar, everyone looked at Scott in surprise.

Scott stepped out of the control room in full view of everyone, pulled out his wand and waved it vigorously.

The giant sailfish turned back into a rock and fell from the water sphere, which then turned into a stream of water and rushed to the ground.

On the judges' side, an excited Mr. Jolly was already interviewing Dumbledore.

He craned his neck to look at Dumbledore and asked loudly, "Professor Dumbledore, is the Transfiguration course at Hogwarts different from other courses?"

But Dumbledore simply shook his head, clapped his hands, and did not answer his question.

“Oh, alright.” Mr. Jolly pulled his craning neck back. “Yes, it’s time to score the third warrior. All judges, please show your scores! Well then, I’ll go first!”

As he spoke, he raised the magic wand in his hand.

"I'm giving it a perfect score!"

A huge number [10] shot out from the tip of his wand and flew into the sky.

Then, the others started giving scores.

First was Mr. Lefebvre, who was sitting next to Mr. Jolly. He raised his wand and revealed a huge number [10].

Then came Mrs. Maxim.

She glanced at Scott from afar, pondered for a few seconds, and also gave him a score of 10.

Then came Professor Hartmann from Durmstrang, who also hesitated for a moment before finally giving it an 8.

The huge number [8] flew into the sky, causing an uproar among the surrounding audience.

A chorus of boos erupted.
