The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Scott said, "I have to say, I haven't been this angry in a long time, and I haven't seen such an idiot in a long time."

He looked at Waldo calmly.

"However, I know very well that when faced with a fool who can't understand human language and can't see the situation clearly, there is only one way to shut him up, and that is to make him feel real fear."

“Very well.” Waldo began to grit his teeth. “I’ve never seen such an arrogant Mudblood as you! Fear? Come on, let me see it!”

Scott gave him a dismissive smile.

"According to the plan!" Waldo shouted angrily.

Immediately afterwards, four of the people surrounding Scott simultaneously pulled out a small metal ball and threw it on the ground.

Four small spheres simultaneously emitted a beam of light into the sky.

Soon, the light began to extend to the left and right, creating a huge magical barrier.

Because of the small metal spheres located at the four corners, the magic barrier is a standard cube shape, enveloping everyone except Lucio and Charles within it.

After all this was done, Waldo began to laugh triumphantly.

"You're dumbfounded now, Mudblood! That means you can't escape by turning into a bird as an Animagus!"

"Hmm... are there alchemical items that can construct large magical barriers?" Scott immediately became interested in the small spheres.

He carefully sensed the strength of the magic barrier and then commented, "Not bad."

"Of course! A mud-blood like you has probably never seen anything like this before!"

Waldo shook the wand in his hand.

"However, you have a knack for making people angry. So I've changed my mind now. Even if you want to apologize and admit your mistake, you'll inevitably suffer a bit and learn a lesson."

Everyone else also pointed their wands at Scott.

“No, I didn’t mean to apologize.” Scott smiled.

"Oh? You think you can defeat a dozen of us with your two passable shapeshifting skills?" Waldo became even more arrogant.

Scott shook his head. "It's not Transfiguration. I'm afraid I might not be able to control myself and accidentally take your lives."

He was telling the truth; whether it was the fire line of the Fire Crow or the water blade of the Sailfish, they could easily destroy a person's body.

Moreover, he tested it and found that his own Ironclad Curse could only hold for three seconds.

But Waldo and his cronies seemed to think he was exaggerating, and burst into laughter again.

Scott laughed too. "Alright, let's show you something more interesting."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Snapped.

In an instant, absolute darkness descended.

Everyone lost all light and could only see pure blackness.

Immediately afterwards, panicked voices came from the darkness.

"How is this going?"

"I can't see it anymore!"

"What kind of curse is this?!"

"Calm down, defend!"

"Don't attack rashly, or you'll hurt your own people!"

"Armor protects you!"

Everyone began to use defensive spells or activate magical items that could resist damage.

"hehe."

Scott's voice rang out.

"Isn't it interesting?"

"This is something I've been researching in private, and this is the first time I'm putting it into practice."

"Because I wasn't very familiar with it, I had to spend time setting it up, while listening to a mad dog barking wildly."

"Oh, and I also want to especially thank you for setting up the magic barrier, which allowed me to trap and beat the dog."

"Kari! Help us shut down those balls!" Waldo began to shout frantically.

Kari's calm voice came through, "I've said it before, I won't get involved in this kind of thing."

"You bastard!" Waldo roared.

Immediately afterwards, more panicked screams rang out.

"what!"

"What's this!"

"What's holding me back!"

"Let me go!"

"What have you done!" Waldo shouted the loudest. "Let me go!"

Scott's voice rang out beside him, "I remember it very clearly, you said that insulting word eight times."

"Let me go, you mudblood!" Waldo roared again.

“Nine times now,” Scott said calmly. “Then I will make you experience nine more unforgettable pains.”

"The Crucifixion Curse? How dare you!"

“Oh, Waldo, of course I wouldn’t dare, but the Cruciatus Curse isn’t the only thing that can make you feel pain.”

"You can't do it! I have magical items that automatically activate defense! You can grab me, but you can't harm me with ordinary spells!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"If you touch me, I will make sure you don't leave France alive!"

"Who knows, but before that, you will suffer greatly."

"I told you, you can't hurt me... ah..."

Waldo suddenly let out a piercing scream of pain.

"You damned Mudblood! I swear, I will kill you!"

"Ten times."

"what……"

At this point, Kari, who had been saying she wouldn't participate, couldn't stand it anymore.

"and many more!"

But Scott ignored him.

"what……"

Waldo's cry of pain rang out once more.

"Stop," Kari said again.

“Don’t worry, I’ll stop,” Scott said. “But there are still seven more.”

"Ah... I won't let you get away with this!"

Waldo's shouting voice no longer sounded as energetic as before.

"I will dispel the magic barrier!" Kari shouted. "If you don't stop, things will get out of control!"

His response was still Waldo's cries of pain and wails.

“Five more times.” Scott was still counting.

The other subdued men remained silent, seemingly completely stunned.

Soon, Scott could sense that the magic barrier had been removed.

But Kari did not come over to rescue Waldo.

Because the absolute darkness that enveloped everyone remained solidified and refused to dissipate.

"what!"

"Four more times."

“Mr. Trolop! This is a crime! Waldo is a Gilard, and you will face the most serious consequences!” Kari warned solemnly.

This guy finally lost his composure.

Scott scoffed.

Are you no longer pretending?

They adopted a condescending attitude, believing that Waldo's trouble with Scott was just a charade, and even said that the Girard family could easily handle it.

He said he wouldn't participate, but now, hearing Waldo's cries of pain, he couldn't stand still.

Scott hated people who put on airs in front of him.

So he ignored Kari's warning and sped up his actions.

"Ah! You..."

"Three more times."

"Ah... I'm going to die..."

"Two more times."

"Let me go, ah..."

"One more time."

"Waaaaah..."

Finally, when Waldo's voice was reduced to sobs, Scott was satisfied with having achieved his goal.
