The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Ten times.

Not too much, not too little.

This lesson will surely be a lesson Waldo will never forget.

"Remember, never say that word in front of me."

"Waaaaah..."

"Ok?"

"Waaaaah... I understand... Waaaaah..."

“Scott!” Lucio’s voice came through the phone.

Kari lifted the petrification curse from his body.

“Calm down, Scott!” Lucio’s voice was somewhat panicked. “It’s not worth putting yourself in jail for a guy like that!”

"Thank you for your concern, Lucio."

Scott said with a smile.

"But who said I'd go to jail?"

He snapped his fingers again.

The darkness that had obscured their vision vanished instantly.

"But you...he..."

Lucio stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

The dozen or so men who were besieging Scott, including Waldo, had their hands and feet bound by iron chains extending from the mud beneath their feet, yet these chains kept them from falling.

The reason they hadn't made a sound was because their mouths were also tightly bound with strips of cloth.

Scott stood next to Waldo, whose hands and feet were also bound by iron chains.

Of course, Waldo's mouth was not tied.

“I didn’t hurt Mr. Girard.” He smiled and gently patted Waldo’s face. “Look, he doesn’t have a single scratch on him.”

This was exactly what surprised Lucio and Cari the most.

They looked at Waldo's tear-streaked face, then at his unscathed body.

Lucio opened his mouth, "This seems different from what I imagined..."

“What are you imagining?” Scott turned and walked towards him. “A bloody scene?”

Lucio gave an awkward laugh.

Scott waved his wand, and the iron chains binding everyone turned into dirt and fell to the ground.

Without the support of the iron chains, Waldo's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

He remained silent, his expression blank, tears streaming from his eyes.

When Scott looked at him, he shrank back in fear.

No one else dared to make any further moves, and they didn't even dare to look at Scott.

Scott took a few steps forward, waved his wand, and the four small metal spheres that had just formed the magical barrier flew into his hand.

"Consider this a gift to make amends to me."

As he spoke, he put the small metal ball into his pocket, walked past Cari who was staring at him, and went straight to Lucio.

"Then, I'll be leaving now."

He turned to Kari and said.

"Furthermore, I didn't hurt anyone; I just subdued them and threatened them a bit. Obviously, this kind of fight caused by jealousy won't land me in jail."

After saying that, he strode away.

For some reason, Kari didn't stop him from leaving.

"Wait for me!"

Lucio followed behind him.

"How exactly did you do that?"

He asked loudly, somewhat excitedly.

"Why is he crying so bitterly if there are no wounds? And what exactly is that darkness obscuring his vision?"

Scott said, "Remember that sailor's astrolabe?"

"The one we bought together at the Zugalamudi thrift store during summer vacation?"

"That's right, there is a snowy illusion hidden in the Sailor's Star Chart. The illusion is so realistic that you can even feel the real, bone-chilling cold."

"I understand! You've analyzed the Sailor's Astrological Chart! The darkness and pain are all caused by illusions!"

Lucio was overjoyed to receive the answer.

"Damn it, we were all shopping for secondhand goods together, why are you the only one who's so lucky!"

"Luck is something you're born with."

"Wait a minute! Can the illusions in the Sailor's Astrological Chart actually manifest in reality?"

"No, it just pulls a person's consciousness into an illusion."

"But Charles and I both saw that dark illusion! Even though we weren't inside it! And how did you set it up?"

"Well, that's a secret."

Scott stopped in front of the fountain square.

"Okay, sorry, I shouldn't have asked so many questions."

Lucio also understood that it was impolite to pry into the secrets of other wizards.

Scott didn't care; he knew Lucio was just too curious.

"Next, I will go back to the tower."

He said to Lucio.

"My classmates and I will not leave the tower until Professor Dumbledore arrives."

When it came to serious matters, Lucio calmed down and said, "You're right, I will tell Mrs. Maxime and Professor Russell what happened."

“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Scott nodded.

"It's okay... By the way."

Lucio looked back.

“Be careful of Kari, he’s also a pureblood from the Kama family.” He lowered his voice. “In short, only a few people know that Kari is a more terrifying guy than Waldo.”

Dogs that bite don't bark.

Scott understood this principle.

Compared to the arrogant and willful Waldo, the calm and collected Kari is certainly more difficult to deal with.

But he wasn't too worried. Now, no matter what situation he faced, he was confident that he could at least protect himself.

After parting ways with Lucio in the square, Scott returned to the tower alone and locked the tower doors.

Meanwhile, the other students in the Hogwarts delegation were having breakfast in the hall.

"Scott, why did you lock the door?"

Fred, still chewing on his food, asked curiously.

“Perfect timing, everyone’s here.” Scott walked to the long table. “I want to apologize first, because I’ve caused some trouble, and also, I hope everyone will stay in our tower.”

Fred swallowed the food in his mouth. "What happened?"

Scott sat down in the chair. "I got into a fight with a group of people. Anyway, I gave Waldo Girard a good beating."

"Oh!" Fred's eyes widened. "Cool! But why didn't you ask me for help?"

"Shut up!" Angelina slapped him.

She asked Scott, "Girard... is he the guy who deliberately tampered with the translation headset?"

Scott nodded.

Terence Higgs of Slytherin said, "I asked around with Derian, and the guy is Professor Girard's nephew from the Girard Alchemy Classroom. His family is very influential in France."

“That’s it,” Scott said. “He’s only here to cause trouble because of Fleur.”

"Oh……"

Several girls spoke at the same time, making a drawn-out "oh" sound.

"So you fought with him?" Kacchini asked, "For Hibiscus?"

Scott replied, “Of course not. The reason I reprimanded him was because he called me Mudblood ten times.”

Upon hearing this, Roger immediately became angry. "That bastard! You should have called us!"

"Well done, Scott, that bastard deserves to be taught a lesson!" Fred pumped his fist.

The other people's expressions were also not good.

“He’s insulting you,” Cedric said angrily. “Insulting you is insulting everyone at Hogwarts.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Scott said, "Well... anyway, I taught him a lesson he won't forget."

"What if they come after you?" Ethan asked nervously. "What do we do? And Professor Dumbledore isn't here right now."

Scott said, "To avoid any accidents, I mean, we'd all better stay in the tower and not go anywhere until Professor Dumbledore shows up."

“That’s the only way,” Cedric said. “The tower is protected by magic, and no one should be able to force their way in.”

Fred said, "If anyone tries to break in, we'll go back to Hogwarts! I've asked around, and the house-elves control this tower!"

Hearing him say that, everyone felt relieved.
