The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Scott asked, "Didn't you say before that Professor Girard would definitely punish him?"

“But he’s all lively and energetic again now,” Lucio said. “I warned you, he’s an idiot, a complete fool, and he won’t learn his lesson from one punishment.”

Scott had a basic understanding of the situation.

It seems that the trouble Furong was referring to mainly involved Waldo Girard.

but……

"Do you think he can do anything to me?"

“With his magical skill, he is indeed no match for you,” Lucio said. “But you still need to be careful, because he not only has a group of sycophants who fawn over him, but he also uses any means necessary. Don’t forget, he comes from the Gilal family, so it’s normal for him to possess some powerful magical items.”

He reminded him again, "In short, you'd better not be alone. Like before, have your classmates with you to protect you."

“Thank you, Lucio,” Scott said gratefully, “but I’m not worried, and I don’t need protection, just one thing…”

"what?"

"If I teach him a lesson, I wonder what the consequences will be? Of course, that is, assuming he provokes me first."

“You’re really confident,” Lucio said, looking at him in surprise. “I hope you’re not just arrogant.”

Scott smiled without saying a word.

"Ok."

Lucio curled his lip.

“Even if you can teach him a lesson, it’s best not to. I’ve told you before, the Girard family has considerable influence in the French magical world. They can even influence the Ministry of Magic and the Board of Governors.”

He lowered his voice again.

"They might prevent you from continuing the game, or even strip you of your Warriors status."

Scott said, "I represent Hogwarts and Britain."

"Come on," Lucio said dismissively. "Britain is already in enough chaos; don't add to the workload of your headmaster and Minister of Magic."

Scott was speechless.

Indeed, given the current tense situation in Britain, the Ministry of Magic may not take this Triwizard Tournament seriously.

After all, dealing with the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters is the most important thing, which is undoubtedly much more important than a Triwizard Tournament.

They might not have the energy to deal with this kind of thing.

While Dumbledore wouldn't ignore it, Scott didn't want to cause trouble for the old headmaster who was already making so many trips back and forth.

However, it's impossible for him to swallow his anger.

He told Lucio, "Well, I'll try to be careful not to teach that guy a lesson too harshly."

"Fine, whatever you want," Lucio said, somewhat helplessly.

Just then, Scott suddenly pulled out his wand. "I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"What?" Lucio's face fell instantly.

Soon, the tall Waldo walked over from one side with several people, while at the same time, several other people appeared from the other side, blocking the two's retreat.

Upon approaching, Waldo didn't look at Scott, but instead stared intently at Lucio.

“Very well, damn Lucio.” His face was extremely unfriendly. “You’ve been secretly passing messages to your friends, haven’t you?”

Lucio looked around and, seeing that the two were already surrounded, couldn't help but mutter "shit" under his breath.

“Answer me, Lucio!” Waldo continued to stare intently at him.

Lucio then let loose, saying, "Yes, Waldo, I want to warn him to be careful of you, because you always ignore Madame Maxim's warnings and lead a group of people astray."

“I must say, you’re meddling too much.” Waldo smiled sinisterly. “He’s just a mud-blooded Spanish. You should thank God that you’re even in this school.”

Hearing this, Scott couldn't help but speak up, "Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

"So what if you heard it?" Waldo said arrogantly. "I've heard that you're just a Mudblood. You'll find out what kind of people you are."

“I’ve changed my mind, Lucio,” Scott said.

"What?" Lucio asked nervously.

"Forget about the three-way battle for supremacy, I'm going to teach this guy a lesson."

Scott laughed.

“I decided a long time ago that I would make everyone who insults me with that word never dare to look me in the eye.”

Chapter 467 Pain

Upon hearing Scott's words, Lucio was stunned, while Waldo threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He pointed at Scott.

"What nonsense are you talking about? A Mudblood is a Mudblood, and that's a fact that can't be changed no matter what!"

Then, his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Scott and Lucio with a sinister look.

“I have been trying my best to endure it, but you filthy mud-bloods always appear in front of me and breathe the same air as me.”

As he spoke, he nervously reached out and grabbed his neck.

"I only have one feeling, and that is disgust!"

Upon hearing this, his followers all burst into laughter.

They all looked at Scott and Lucio with disdain.

"Valdo, what exactly do you want to do?" Lucio shouted.

Waldo scoffed. "What do I want to do? You're asking me?"

The people around him spoke arrogantly on his behalf.

“You should know very well, Lucio.”

"This guy from Hogwarts should honestly apologize to Waldo."

"I swear I will never go near Miss Delacour again!"

"Oh, and also, don't be too flashy in the upcoming three-way battle."

"If you agree to these conditions, we might be willing to let you go."

“Well said,” Waldo said. “Otherwise…”

He pointed his wand at Scott.

"You two need to suffer more."

Lucio shouted, "Are you kidding me? Do you know the consequences of doing this? Mrs. Maxim won't keep giving the Girard family face forever!"

"Don't threaten me with that woman, she's just..."

"Waldo!"

Just as Waldo was about to say something disrespectful to Madame Maxime, someone immediately stopped him.

A Black boy emerged from behind a pillar.

He was taller than Waldo, but much thinner, looking like a bamboo pole.

But the moment he stepped forward, everyone else fell silent.

The Black boy said calmly, "It's okay for you to act recklessly, Waldo, because with the Girard family around, some troubles can be easily resolved. But if you say certain things, the Girard family will have no choice but to give up on you."

Upon hearing his warning, Waldo's expression twisted slightly, but he managed to suppress it.

“Cari, so you were here too!” Lucio looked at the black boy. “Why didn’t you stop Waldo!”

"The Gilard family can easily handle these squabbles caused by jealousy and rivalry."

Kari's tone remained calm.

"But don't worry, I won't get involved. Lucio, I suggest you do what I do and just stand by and watch. Don't worry about your friends; if they go too far, I'll still stop them."

Hearing his words, Waldo turned and looked at him with displeasure. "Cari, you want me to let Lucio go?"

But Kari didn't fawn over him like the others did.

“You’d better not touch him,” Carrie said, “unless you want to completely offend Professor Russell.”

Waldo snorted coldly.

"Get out of my way, Lucio," Waldo waved his hand impatiently. "I'll let you off the hook for Professor Rosell's sake."

"you……"

“Alright, Lucio,” Scott suddenly spoke up, “you’d better listen to me and stand back a bit.”

“But…” Lucio looked at him with some concern.

"Thank you for your concern." Scott smiled at him. "I'll be fine."

Just then, Waldo gave a signal, and two strong boys rushed up, grabbed Lucio's hands, and dragged him aside.

"Let me go!" Lucio struggled desperately.

Unfortunately, because he was obsessed with alchemy for many years, he was thinner and weaker than the average person.

Although Scott could sense the two men's movements in advance, he had no intention of stopping them.

It's a good thing to let Lucio go to the side first, so that he won't have to protect him if a fight breaks out later.

Waldo instructed the two men, "Don't let him go and tell the professor."

"no problem."

"Do not worry."

The two men who had captured Lucio quickly agreed and then immediately cast a petrification spell on him.

They then placed Lucio next to Charles and returned to the group surrounding Scott, laughing and joking.

Waldo laughed again. "Alright, now it's time to get back to what we were doing before."
