The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Chapter 505 The Third Round of the Competition Begins

After breakfast, Scott and the others walked out of the Hogwarts Tower.

"Good morning!"

Lucio waved to them from outside the tower.

"Today, it's my turn to lead you to the competition venue again!"

He looked very excited, as if he knew some inside information about this round of the competition.

"Good morning."

Scott walked up to him.

"Thank you for your help."

"Don't mention it, let's go."

Lucio smiled and turned to walk towards the castle.

“Oh, Lucio…”

"Is this round of the competition taking place inside the castle?"

Fred and Roger stepped forward, each flanking Lucio on one side, and put their arms around his shoulders.

"Yes, in the castle."

Lucio said calmly.

“I know what you’re planning, but I absolutely will not say any more.”

"Oh, you're overthinking it, Lucio."

"We didn't want to ask about the competition."

Fred and Roger laughed and joked.

Was today's match interesting?

You seem really excited.

Lucio insisted, "I will not tell you any more."

At this moment, Durmstrang's students also disembarked from the ship and came over.

Good morning, Viktor.

Scott took the initiative to greet Krum.

"Good morning."

Krum remained silent, responding to Scott once before falling silent again.

But his gaze kept shifting, occasionally glancing at Caccini in the Hogwarts group.

Scott noticed this but didn't say anything.

He doesn't have the habit of meddling in other people's relationship problems.

But to his surprise, Krum actually spoke up first.

Has she mentioned it?

He lowered his voice, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"I mean, did Kacchini mention me?"

"Sorry, I'm not sure."

Scott smiled apologetically.

"You know, girls usually only talk about these kinds of topics with other girls."

Krum nodded and fell silent again.

But after a while, he spoke again.

"You and she are friends, right?"

“Yes.” Scott nodded.

"Based on your understanding of her..."

He looked even more embarrassed.

Why did she reject me?

"..."

Scott glanced silently at Roger, who was still clinging to Lucio.

At that moment, Caccini and Angelina suddenly rushed forward, pulled Fred and Roger apart, and rescued Lucio from their entanglement.

"How embarrassing!"

Caccini kicked Roger quite fiercely.

"What's the point of asking these questions now? We just need to trust Scott!"

"You tomboy!"

"What did you say? Speak louder!"

Although these two bicker and tease each other, everyone can see that there's something real going on between them.

"So, it really is because of Davis?"

Krum seemed quite calm.

"He's a womanizer. I don't understand why Kacchini would like him."

"Uh……"

This question stumped Scott.

Honestly, he doesn't understand either!

He's not a relationship counselor.

In his opinion, perhaps Kacini was blind?

Fortunately, Krum didn't really want an answer from him.

He glanced again at Caccini and Roger, who were playfully fighting, and silently returned to Durmstrang's group.

At this moment, Cedric walked over to Scott, looking him over as he moved even closer.

Scott gave him a questioning look.

"Feel sorry."

Cedric said with a smile.

“I always felt that something huge had changed about you, but I was not quite sure.”

Scott did not deny it.

He simply said, "Perhaps your magical perception is already showing some signs."

“Really?” Cedric said in surprise. “It’s all thanks to you for telling me how to practice.”

"No, it's all thanks to your own efforts."

Scott never expected that Cedric would actually be able to develop a feel for it.

He initially told Cedric about the practice method because he felt that the method was quite effective in improving transfiguration.

Of course, he was also pleasantly surprised.

He said with some excitement, "If you can develop true magical perception, Cedric, maybe we can be considered to have pioneered a path to unlocking magical perception."

As they spoke, they walked across the fountain square in front of the castle, climbed the steps, and entered the castle.

Lucio and another Beauxbatons student led them through several corridors into the castle's basement.

Finally, they arrived at an exceptionally spacious and tall underground lobby.

There are towering pillars, some several stories high, and walls covered with grids.

Those compartments, large and small, display all sorts of alchemical works.

From ferocious alchemical beasts to small jewelry, the variety is dazzling and all-encompassing.

"Welcome to the Beauxbatons Alchemy Museum."

Lucio introduced them to Scott and his team.

"These are the finest alchemical works ever created by the Beauxbatons wizards."

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the ceiling of the lobby.

Clearly, this place is located directly below the fountain plaza.

Looking up from this lobby, its ceiling is transparent, allowing a clear view of the statues of the Le Maire couple in the fountain.

Sunlight streamed through the shimmering fountain pool, adding a lively and vibrant touch.

"Everyone except Scott can now enter the stands."

Lucio gestured for the others to enter the audience seating that had already been set up inside the museum.

"Go for it, Scott."

"The championship is yours alone!"

Scott's companions offered him words of encouragement before they went into the lobby.

“Wait, Fred.”

Scott found the [magic mirror] and handed it to Fred.

"Don't forget you still have a job."

“Oh!” Fred took the [Magic Mirror]. “Let’s make this clear first, I won’t be giving you too many shots.”

Scott ignored his feigned arrogance and waved for him to leave.
