The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

After watching this play full of profound meaning, Scott had mixed feelings.

It was clear that Medea was deceiving Mrs. Rol, because Scott knew very well that the Resurrection Stone could not bring any of the dead back to life.

Mrs. Roll, preoccupied with the resurrection of her husband and daughter, became a pawn that Medea planted beside Voldemort.

Although it's unclear how effective this move will be, Medea has clearly made arrangements.

Scott continued to stare at the mirror.

Because Medea in the portrait did not disappear after Madame Rohr left.

A short while later, two more figures dressed in green robes appeared and bowed to her in the portrait.

Good evening, madam.

"Good evening," Medea said with a slight smile. "My friends."

The newcomer lifted his hood, revealing his true face.

One of them was someone Scott knew, Milton's stepmother, Mrs. Zabini.

The other middle-aged male wizard was someone he had never seen before.

“Madam,” said Mrs. Zabini, “do you really think Trinity Roll is trustworthy?”

Medea said somewhat coldly, "Of course, she had no choice but to do so in order to resurrect her husband and daughter."

“Oh, I’m not questioning her choice, madam,” Madame Zabini smiled alluringly. “I just don’t trust her abilities.”

Medea smiled too.

She was not angry because of Mrs. Zabini's questioning.

She simply said, "Just wait and see, I believe Trinity will surprise us."

“Since you’ve said that, then I can only look forward to her performance,” Mrs. Zabini said sweetly.

"Hey, you'd better mind your own business, Zabini."

The middle-aged male wizard standing to the side spoke up.

"After all this time, you still haven't completely tamed even one Grevis. This makes me very doubtful of your past record."

“Greengrass”.

Lady Zabini then revealed the name of the middle-aged male wizard.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for poor Trinity?"

Mr. Greengrass said seriously, "No, I just think you shouldn't question any of Ms. Slytherin's decisions."

"Oh."

Madame Zabini covered her mouth with her hand and gave a graceful bow to the portrait of Medea.

"I'm so sorry, madam."

“I don’t mind,” Medea said. “I’ve said it before, we’re friends, and you don’t have to obey me.”

Mrs. Zabini clearly didn't dare to take her words seriously.

"Thank you for your understanding, madam."

Although her every move exuded an undeniable allure and frivolity, her attitude towards Medea was undoubtedly respectful.

But when she turned to face Mr. Greengrass, her attitude changed dramatically.

"Like you said, mind your own business and don't interfere in my affairs, Greengrass."

As she spoke, she swayed her voluptuous body and moved closer to Mr. Greengrass.

“Unless…” she switched to a teasing tone, “you’re really interested in what’s going on between me and Grevis?”

"Get out of the way, Zabini!"

Mr. Greengrass took two steps back, his brow furrowed in disgust.

Mrs. Zabini didn't seem to mind; instead, she smiled victoriously.

"Useless," she said dismissively.

“Alright, you didn’t come here to argue, my friends,” Medea said.

"Yes, ma'am."

Madame Zabini quickly looked at Medea in the painting.

"So far, Grevis hasn't betrayed you, but I think he clearly can't let go of his Muggle wife and half-blood son."

When she mentioned Mr. Grevis, her tone was equally dismissive.

She looked particularly disgusted when Milton and his mother were mentioned.

"Thank you for your hard work," Medea said. "I'm sorry, you can't leave Grevis's side for the time being."

Mrs. Zabini smiled indifferently.

"It's okay, it's just a charade anyway, but..."

Her expression darkened.

"That old man in the Grevis family keeps Dong X very secret, it seems even his children don't know about it."

Upon hearing this, Scott's spirits lifted.

Is this why Medea set her sights on the Grevis family and went so far as to arrange for Madame Zabini to marry Mr. Grevis?

Because Milton's grandfather was hiding something important.

“No need to rush, you have plenty of time,” Medea said.

“I will find a way to get that thing, madam,” said Mrs. Zabini. “I don’t believe that old man can stay hidden in his house forever.”

Medea nodded gently.

"Madam, with our help, the Ministry of Magic has captured another group of Death Eaters, but the Man of Varian has yet to appear," said Mr. Greengrass.

“I can imagine.” Medea seemed unsurprised. “Tom got the child’s blood, but he probably hasn’t figured it out yet.”

"I really can't understand how the Dark Lord, who is feared by all, would value a minor child so much."

Mrs. Zabini said in a mocking tone.

"'Savior,' 'The Boy Who Lived,' Harry Potter—did the great Dark Lord actually believe the praise those ignorant people gave to that child?"

Mr. Greengrass said, "There must be a reason why the Mystic did experience failure because of Harry Potter in the past."

Mrs. Zabini didn't take it seriously.

“No normal person would believe that the mysterious man’s failure was really because of that child, who was just an infant at the time.”

She expressed her opinion.

"The Potter family is also a long-established wizarding family. Perhaps it was the Potters' last-ditch effort that led to the Mystic's previous failure."

Greengrass shook his head in disapproval.

"This is not enough to prove why Dumbledore valued that boy so much."

"Dumbledore always felt that the wizarding world needed a flag."

Mrs. Zabini also offered an explanation for this.

"He used to be himself, but he was getting old and dying. Coincidentally, Harry Potter, who has a great reputation in the wizarding world, was his chosen successor."

"Regardless of the reason."

Medea said.

"Tom and Dumbledore's concern for that child is a fact. What we need is not speculation, but the real reason."

Mrs. Zabini and Mr. Greengrass quickly bowed their heads.

"Dear Madam."

"Give us some more time."

"We will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Chapter 479 Dumbledore's Investigation

As Madame Zabini and Monsieur Greengrass also vanished in an illusion, Medea in the painting gradually became transparent until she disappeared.

The portraits of the kings were then returned to their original positions.

After watching this segment, Scott reviewed the surveillance footage from other locations but found no further clues.

He turned off the recording and turned on the live monitoring.

The old palace was bustling with activity, as a group of Muggle tourists were touring it.

Scott stared at the portrait of the king for a while, but couldn't figure out what it was.

He had initially assumed that the presence of members of the All Witchcraft Society in Edinburgh was because Medea had awakened.

He thought that perhaps he could determine where Medea was hiding based on the actions of these people.

Medea, however, only appears in the painting.

Scott had no way of knowing whether she had separated a segment of her consciousness and hidden it in the painting before falling asleep, or whether her main body had already awakened.

Of course, it's unlikely that surveillance could pinpoint Medea's true location.

Scott tapped his finger repeatedly, extracting and editing the segment from the surveillance footage, then sending it to Dumbledore's [magic phone].

Then he turned on the video of the Triwizard Tournament, opened his sketchbook, picked up a pencil, and began to design cartoon images of himself and the other two warriors.

After sketching a few portraits at random, he decided to stick with the Disney style that Eddie had mentioned.

After sketching the portrait, he extracted several highlights from the competition video and prepared to draw some half-body and full-body portraits based on them.

Of course, he didn't intend to draw exactly as it appeared in the video; instead, he deliberately exaggerated the characters' movements and expressions.

After completing the sketches, he imported them into the [Magic Mirror] and sent them to Eddie.

Eddie replied quickly.
