The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"And we are already adults."

"We have our own money."

"You can go home by yourself."

"go quickly!"

The two sang in harmony, waving repeatedly.

Mrs. Weasley was angry but couldn't do anything about it, so she slapped them hard on the back a few times, gave them a stern warning, and then led Ron and Ginny away from the bar.

As soon as she left, Fred and George immediately wanted to cause trouble.

Scott reminded them of something.

"If you're not sure about your alcohol tolerance, it's best not to try now. I don't want to take care of two drunkards."

But the twins couldn't resist their urge to try it. Although they didn't choose the Flame Whisky, they still ordered two drinks with a lower alcohol content to try.

They sat in the bar for a while, and then Scott's three roommates walked in through the bar door.

"Oh, Scott!"

Milton seemed unusually excited today, and he ran over first.

You're right!

He lowered his voice but couldn't hide his excitement.

"Music truly is magic!"

Scott stared at him in shock.

"what do you mean……"

"Yes, I succeeded."

Milton nodded vigorously.

“We can prove it,” Roger said with a complicated expression.

Eddie shrugged. "Although I don't think it's scientific or magical."

It took Scott a while to process this fact.

Although he said that to Milton, it was more of an encouragement!

Using music to cast a spell was simply giving Milton a suitable direction to move forward.

For Scott, this was completely baffling.

Who would have thought that Milton would actually succeed in such a short time!

outrageous.

"Milton, you're a true genius!"

Scott patted Milton on the shoulder forcefully.

"A true genius!"

Milton just smiled shyly.

The twins also gave Milton a thumbs up.

"amazing."

"cool!"

How did you do that?

"Can you demonstrate it for us?"

Milton looked around. "It's not convenient here. I'll demonstrate it for you when we get back to Hogwarts. Of course, the effect will be very weak."

“But you’ve taken the hardest first step,” Scott said. “In short, I believe in you; no one is better suited for this kind of magic than you.”

Amidst laughter and chatter, the group left the Leaky Cauldron and entered the bustling Diagon Alley.

Upon arriving here, Scott elicited more screams.

On his way to Gringotts Bank, he was greeted by several unfamiliar wizards.

Of course, the most enthusiastic were the children. There were always children looking at him with admiration, and the bolder ones would shout "Warrior!" while crowding around him for autographs.

Scott's friends were teasing him, saying he had become an even bigger celebrity in the wizarding world than Lockhart had ever been.

Scott was not keen on accepting this kind of comparison.

After entering Gringotts Bank, Scott took out the check he had won in the Triwizard Tournament and cashed it.

The bank's goblin clerk didn't seem very happy to see the 1000 Galleons on the check.

Especially after Scott rejected its proposal to open the vault.

Scott didn't care.

Everyone knows that these greedy goblins don't want a single Galleon to leave Gringotts.

But Scott didn't need to open the vault at all; there was no safer place to hide his gold than the Eye of Odin.

"Please hurry."

Scott knocked on the counter, urging the bank clerk who was deliberately dawdling.

The fairy-like employee reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, your withdrawal amount is too large and must be approved by the bank manager."

“Very good.” Scott raised an eyebrow. “Then let the bank manager come over.”

He was already getting impatient.

At this moment, the other people who had withdrawn their money also gathered around, standing behind Scott and looking at the fairy employee on the counter, putting pressure on it.

The fairy employee named Kag shrank back and gestured to Scott, "Please follow me."

Scott and his companions followed it to a room on the side, where they met the fairy chief, Prag.

Kag whispered something to the fairy manager's long ear, and Prag's expression changed. He immediately responded to Scott with a somewhat exaggerated enthusiasm.

"Oh, welcome, Mr. Troop, the hero, welcome to Gringotts."

Scott didn't want to talk to it anymore. Instead, he waved the check in his hand and stated his purpose directly.

"Here's the check, 1000 Galleons in total, give it to me immediately."

As he spoke, he channeled all his magic power to create an aura that pressed down on Prag's head.

Scott's imposing aura was so strong that even his friends couldn't help but take a step back, let alone the two fairies.

They plopped down on the ground, looking up at him in terror.

I don't want to hear any more nonsense.

Scott retracted his stance.

"Yes."

Prag wiped the sweat from his brow and glared at Kag again.

It rubbed its hands together and said obsequiously to Scott, "We'll prepare 1000 Galleons for you right away."

But when facing its subordinates, it immediately changes its attitude.

"Hurry up, you lazybones!" it yelled at Kag. "Go and prepare Galleons for our guests!"

"Yes, supervisor!"

Kag quickly got up from the ground and staggered out of the room.

When cornered, the fairy can move very quickly.

In less than ten minutes, a total of 1000 Galleons were piled up in front of Scott, gleaming in the sunlight.

Perhaps because they didn't want to give Scott the gold so easily, the goblins didn't use any bags to hold the Galleons; instead, they piled them up directly on the ground.

"Honorable guest, please check the number."

The fairy manager, Prag, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"Oh, let us help!"

Fred and George were eager to try.

"We've never counted this many Galleons before!"

"no need."

Scott smiled, drew his wand, and tapped it lightly.

Countless golden lights formed numbers that danced in the air, then quickly disappeared, leaving behind a neat line of [1000].

"This is?"

"It is simply a simple application of the computational part of arithmetic divination."

Scott nodded.

"Very good, there is neither one more nor one less."

Under the watchful eyes of the fairies, he removed the pendant from his chest and stored all the gold coins in his spatial storage.

Finally, they left Gringotts amidst the disappointed gazes of the fairies.

"Let's go to Flourish and Blotts to buy new textbooks first."

So they walked to the other end of Diagon Alley.

At Flourish and Blotts, they ran into many acquaintances.

It seems that most of the Hogwarts students choose to shop in Diagon Alley the day before school starts.

Mrs. Weasley, Ron, and Ginny were also there, and Harry and Hermione had joined their friend Ron.

Scott bought the books as quickly as possible and left the crowded bookstore without waiting.

As Scott passed the entrance to Knockdown Alley, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Eddie urged. "Hurry up, I need to go buy a new crucible."
