The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

“A life lived in confusion is meaningless,” she said softly, “just like my life.”

"You can join us now, Ms. Grey!"

Luna reached out and touched Helena's illusory hand.

"I?"

Helena looked bewildered.

"I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do..."

She was unusually flustered.

"I mean... I'm just a ghost, I can't change anything anymore..."

"Do not."

Scott said to her seriously.

“You have changed a lot, Helena.”

"Me?" Helena was a little confused.

Scott nodded.

"Do you remember when Medea appeared at Hogwarts, it was you who stepped forward?"

"It was you who brought me to my Ravenclaw mentor, and I must say, that changed my life."

"Even putting that aside, your usual care and help for the Ravenclaw students is an essential part of school life."

“The Ravenclaws all respect you, and even after they graduate, you will remain a real part of their memories.”

Helena was stunned after hearing Scott's words.

After a long while, she slowly revealed a beautiful smile.

"Thank you, Scott."

She said with a smile.

"I never thought that it would be meaningful for me to exist as a ghost in the human world."

Scott laughed too.

“Then, Miss Helena Ravenclaw.”

He stood up and performed a formal wizard's salute.

"I solemnly invite you to join the secret organization called 'Tower of Babel' and work with us to create a new world."

Helena nodded slightly.

“I am honored,” she said.

"Great!"

Luna clapped happily.

And so, Helena and Luna officially joined the Tower of Babel.

Scott's secret organization has been reduced to seven people plus a ghost.

"So, Scott, what are your plans to achieve the organization's ideals?"

Helena quickly got into character and began questioning Scott, the currently incompetent leader of the organization, about the organization's operational plan.

"Short-term plans are what I'm currently working on."

Scott gestured for her and Luna to look at the [magic mirror] in his hand.

"This……"

Both young ladies looked at the video footage in the [Magic Mirror] with some confusion.

"To be honest, I never thought I would have such thoughts one day."

Scott said with a mix of regret and embarrassment.

"To put it bluntly, the first step of the plan is to make a name for ourselves."

It's worth noting that he used to always uphold the ancient wisdom of "making a fortune quietly" and strived to keep a low profile in everything he did.

But now, in order to achieve his goal of the "Tower of Babel," he has to change his style of doing things.

Helena and Luna both nodded in understanding.

“You did the right thing,” Helena said. “To achieve your grand ambitions, you need more helpers, and that means building a reputation and expanding your influence is also essential.”

Luna also said, "Yes, you need a strong appeal."

That was exactly what Scott was thinking.

Creating a new world is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it.

Otherwise, even if he truly mastered the ancient super-magic called "Yuktrasil" and truly created a new world, it wouldn't necessarily be possible for all the wizards to move in.

In that case, everything he did would be meaningless.

If he simply wants to create a "paradise" for his family and friends, then he doesn't need to do much more, because the space within the Eye of Odin is already sufficient.

Based on these factors, Scott has changed his plans for the future in many ways.

He has already decided.

In the foreseeable future, he will need to play an even more important role in the British wizarding world's war against Voldemort.

Also, that prophecy about him and Salazar Slytherin, depending on the situation, could even be made public.

Of course, these were just some of his thoughts, and he didn't tell anyone.

The confidence he had in having such thoughts stemmed from the immense power he gained from his advancement to Super Magic.

Although his Ravenclaw mentor said he had only just stepped through the threshold, he certainly already had the qualifications to stand at the top.

Compared to before, the rest of the journey is much easier.

Of course, Scott was clear-headed; it wasn't time to put these ideas into action yet.

Before that, he still had many things to do.

For example, after that adventure ended, he didn't even have a proper talk with Dumbledore.

And after obtaining the Heart of the Sacred Tree, he must travel to the Sea of ​​Oaks to communicate with the Druid leader, Savannah's grandfather.

Not to mention, in order to further enhance their strength and obtain the attack magic "Gungnir," which is said to be absolutely inescapable, they also need to retrieve the research data of the [Asgardian] school hidden in the secret realms of "Niflheim" and "Jotunheim."

All three things are already on his schedule.

The conversation with Dumbledore is expected to be completed before the holidays, while the latter two matters will be addressed during the upcoming summer vacation.

In the following days, while successfully completing his end-of-year exams, Scott used his spare time to finish editing and post-production of the video, and then handed the finished product over to Eddie to handle.

Finally, on the afternoon of the day he successfully passed the Apparition qualification exam, he sat in the principal's office.

This was not an invitation from Dumbledore, but it was clear that Dumbledore knew his purpose.

“Oh, Scott, I didn’t plan this conversation.”

"Dumbledore said kindly."

"This means I trust you completely. In my eyes, you are no longer a child, but a mature and powerful wizard."

As he spoke, he raised his teacup toward a painting of Ravenclaw on the wall.

“I think your mentor, Ms. Ravenclaw, thinks so too.”

The entire wall of pictures features only one Ravenclaw instructor.

The portraits of the other former principals had already been "invited" away by her at Scott's request.

At this moment, Ravenclaw in the painting smiled slightly and nodded gently in response to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore continued to Scott: "Of course, I am also very pleased that you have taken the initiative to speak with me, which means that you trust me and regard me as a reliable friend and elder."

“You’re right,” Scott nodded with a smile. “I do need your experience and guidance.”

"It's my pleasure," Dumbledore said with a smile.

Next, Scott spoke his mind without hesitation.

Dumbledore listened intently, his blue eyes behind his crescent-shaped spectacles filled with curiosity.

After Scott finished speaking, he paused for a moment.

After a while, he spoke softly.

"I cannot determine whether such an ideal or such a future is correct. No one can determine that, not even a true prophecy can determine the future."

His tone was very serious.

"Of course, I can't determine if it's wrong either."

"Oh, what I really mean is that no one can truly predict the future, and we can't be sure that every decision we make is absolutely correct."

"You, and your friends, you are all a lovely group of young people."

"You are the future of wizards, the future of the magical world, and you have the right to create the future you want."

"As for whether it's right or wrong, I think time will tell."

Scott understood what he meant.

Dumbledore maintained an open attitude toward this matter.

We neither oppose nor interfere.

Of course, I won't join either.

Overall, he is still supportive.

However, it seems that what he supports is not the matter itself.

"Honestly, I'm very pleased, Scott."

Dumbledore continued.

"I'm so glad you have such a dream."
