The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

That's all I wanted to say.

He said with a smile.

"Now, I'm going to visit Mrs. Maxim."

With that, he left his seat and walked out of the tower.

Left behind, Scott had no choice but to face the "siege" of the crowd.

"Scott!"

Fred rushed over and wrapped his arms tightly around Scott's neck.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

Roger also asked, "Why didn't any of us know about this, yet Professor Dumbledore brought you along?"

Cedric didn't even bother reading the letter Cho had written to him before rushing to ask, "How's the Ministry of Magic? How's Hogwarts? Most importantly... has anyone been killed?"

Clearly, he was very worried about Mr. Diggory, who worked at the Ministry of Magic.

Upon hearing his words, Fred immediately realized what he meant and tightened his grip on Scott's neck.

"Any news about my father?" he asked. "Well, and Percy too."

The others also started asking questions all at once.

"OK OK!"

Scott forcefully broke free from Fred's arm.

"I can barely breathe..."

He reached up and rubbed his neck.

"Alright, no need to rush. Hogwarts hasn't been breached at all. It's just that, as far as I know, the Ministry of Magic did lose a few Aurors..."

Upon hearing that someone had sacrificed their life, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Of course, there's no need to worry too much, Cedric, Fred, and everyone else."

He added.

"Since Dumbledore didn't give any hints, it means your family is all safe and sound."

“You’re right, Scott,” Cedric said happily. “Since Dumbledore didn’t mention it, it proves that my father must be alright.”

"I'm not too worried."

Fred stubbornly insisted.

“My dad is very strong, even though he still needs to protect a useless Percy.”

Roger patted him on the shoulder. "I have to say, based on your past performances at the Duel Club, Percy is stronger than you."

"No, that's only because I didn't give it my all."

Fred started bragging.

"If I beat Percy, he'll lose face as president of the boys' council, and he'll definitely write to his mother crying..."

No one paid any attention to his boasting. Although Percy's personality wasn't very likable, his excellence was undeniable.

At least in most people's minds, he is much more reliable than the mischievous twins.

Next, Scott briefly recounted his experiences from the previous day.

Of course, he made some changes in many places.

He did not reveal that he could remotely monitor Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic's battlefield, nor did he reveal that he possessed a special Portkey.

Although he had personally registered with Voldemort during the battle to defend Hogwarts, he was still cautious and did not want Voldemort to know that he could obtain intelligence through remote monitoring.

It wasn't that Scott didn't trust the students present, but rather that the more people who knew, the greater the risk of exposure.

He only mentioned that when Dumbledore received the message, he happened to be in his room, so he had Dumbledore's phoenix take him back to Hogwarts to join the battle.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among others, especially Fred and Roger.

"You should have called us!"

"Hogwarts was under siege, and we were completely unaware and missed it!"

Scott offered no explanation, only making fun of Roger.

This guy had previously said that if war broke out at Hogwarts, he would run away, and he even had a disagreement with Fred about it.

Now, however, he is just as enthusiastic as Fred, regretting that he was unable to participate in the war.

But Roger refused to admit his true feelings, stubbornly insisting, "That's because I already know Hogwarts hasn't been breached, and the enemy has been kept out of the castle by protective magic, that's why I said that..."

“Shut up, Roger Davis!” Caccini glared at him with disdain. “Saying things like that will only make you look worse!”

Roger awkwardly shut his mouth.

Scott then gave a brief but still detailed account of the battles that took place at Hogwarts.

Especially noteworthy is Voldemort's personal appearance and the fact that everyone worked together to repair the magical barrier using the Ironclad Charm.

Of course, he also mentioned the four students who were expelled.

"...That's how it happened. Then, this morning, Dumbledore and I came here together."

Scott thought his "report" should be over, but everyone kept pressing him for details.

Voldemort, in particular, was someone everyone feared but was also incredibly curious about.

Given that Scott said that the closest he ever came between himself and Voldemort was only a magical barrier, everyone wanted to ask for more information about Voldemort.

They wanted to figure out everything about Voldemort, from his appearance and magic to his voice and clothing.

Most of the people here had already seen the Dark Lord during the Quidditch World Cup final.

On a whim, Scott turned a stack of plates on the table into a large Voldemort figurine.

The lifelike figurine's appearance instantly startled most of the people present, with several students even leaving their seats and taking several steps back.

Scott, however, reached out and flicked Voldemort's bald head with his finger.

"That's Voldemort for you. You can take a closer look."

"Oh……"

Fred was the first to come over.

"I knew it! He really doesn't have a nose!"

Ultimately, it was just a figurine, but the others grew bolder and began to comment on "Voldemort".

"His... his eyes and skin color are not human-like either."

"He wasn't wearing shoes!"

"His clothes didn't seem to be ordinary clothes; they looked like they were formed from black mist."

"So, he was completely naked, only wearing a magically conjured robe?"

"what……"

"nausea."

And so, that morning, the Hogwarts delegation of students all skipped class.

Scott suddenly thought that this kind of activity was quite good; with more of this kind of commentary, perhaps it could even reduce everyone's fear of Voldemort.

At the same time, he suddenly remembered an evil video he had seen in his previous life.

A video of a man dressed as Voldemort and performing a sexy dance in women's clothing.

Oh, by the way, the actor playing Harry also did that kind of dance, it was really cringe-worthy.

What would happen if Voldemort's "sexy dance" were widely spread throughout the wizarding world?

For a moment, Scott's desire to cause trouble began to stir.

But he was also very wary of Voldemort's curse.

Voldemort could even curse the position of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor; it's hard to say he couldn't directly curse the person who spread the video.

Forget it, let's play it safe here.

Scott regretfully abandoned this interesting idea.

After lunch, Scott and his classmates went to Beauxbatons Castle.

They discovered that news of what had happened in England the previous day had already reached France.

The Forsternberg Daily had already reported on the war that was taking place in Britain that morning.

Scott saw the newspaper from his French classmate.

Although the report did not provide much detail about the events, it did summarize the two battles that took place between the British Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts.

Under these circumstances, Scott and his group's appearance undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, and even the students in Durmstrang's delegation were curious about what was happening in Britain.

“Oh damn, we should have waited a few days before coming to class,” Roger said.

He was clearly uncomfortable with the attention that was focused on them for such a reason.

"Do you feel ashamed?" Fred said. "But that's the reality of Britain."

Cedric said, "They can't just stand by and watch. The war more than a decade ago affected more than just Britain."

“But it’s mainly in Britain,” Fred added. “After all, the Mystic’s power is not as great as Grindelwald’s was back then.”

Scott said, "Grindelwald genuinely wanted to change the world, while Voldemort was only after his own interests."

This is a difference in perspective.

Grindelwald's desire to conquer the world on behalf of wizards and make them the masters of the world is not an unacceptable proposition.

This was also because he predicted that the Muggle wars might destroy the world.

To be honest, Scott wasn't against his ideas.

However, wizards are a minority among humans, so achieving such a goal is really difficult.

Would Voldemort have had the courage to do such a thing?
