The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"Now that I think about it, Mrs. Zabini's performance just now was clearly a delaying tactic."

"We all thought she was just trying to get away from the Aurors' questioning by lying."

"Moreover, she knew your grandfather's personality very well and used his temper to make him close the door himself."

Chapter 553 Time Converter

"Perhaps my grandfather had already thought of this; he deliberately cooperated with Mrs. Zabini to close the door."

Milton said in a choked voice.

"He just doesn't want to involve us."

Scott did not refute him.

Although he didn't know if old Mr. Grevis really thought that way, since Milton was willing to take everything as his grandfather's good intentions, he wouldn't be so tactless as to question it.

"Here."

Scott stopped and looked up at the ceiling.

He stepped onto a chair, then enlarged the chair until it was almost touching the ceiling above his head.

Then, he raised his hand and touched the ceiling.

As the magic collided, several layers of complex magical runes appeared.

Clearly, there was Dong XZ in the middle of the ceiling, and these magic rune circuits served to conceal the fluctuations of magic power, thus isolating Scott's magic power perception to a certain extent.

Scott broke through the ceiling and took out an inconspicuous stone.

Then, he shrank the chair back to the ground and examined the stone in his hand carefully.

“There’s an alchemical artifact inside,” he told Milton.

As he spoke, he broke the stone and took out a round, thin metal sheet from it.

He examined the magic runes engraved on the thin metal sheet and then forcibly activated the constant magic spell on it using magic.

"It is a magical item used to break through spatial limitations and for positioning."

He handed the metal sheet to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked down for a moment, then nodded.

"It should be a matching alchemical item. Lady Slytherin also has an item that looks like a Portkey. Only by working together can we break through the room's restrictions on spatial magic."

Scott said, "It's similar to the feathers I used before for positioning and jumping around."

"It seems that Lady Slytherin's mastery of spatial magic is also astonishing."

As Dumbledore spoke, he handed the thin metal sheet in his hand to Mr. Grevis.

"This must have been done by Zabini!"

Mr. Grevis said angrily.

"Some time ago, this house was open to her, and she secretly hid this thing in the ceiling when we weren't looking."

“We have no evidence to prove any of this,” Milton said. “Although she has been taken away by the Aurors, it will be difficult for the Ministry of Magic to convict her in what happened today.”

Mr. Grevis's voice trembled slightly, "I know that she is, after all, a pureblood, and with the methods she has always used, the power she wields is not to be underestimated."

Scott was somewhat annoyed. "I'm sorry, if only I had been this observant before..."

Milton shook his head.

"That's none of your business. We were all distracted by the commotion outside, and you didn't have time to pay attention."

“Yes, this is none of your business,” Mr. Grevis said. “You’ve done your best.”

Although they all said that, Scott was still somewhat dissatisfied with himself.

He believes that his strength has increased too quickly, and he has become less cautious than before. This incident is both a lesson and a warning.

He didn't say anything, but silently warned himself that he couldn't be so careless in the future, and that he should pay attention to every detail.

At that moment, Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder.

“I’m fine, Professor,” Scott said. “I just reflected on my actions.”

Dumbledore didn't say much. He comforted Mr. Grevis and Milton for a few more minutes, and then returned to Hogwarts with Scott.

Milton, of course, stayed home; his grandfather had passed away, and he and Mr. Grevis still had to deal with the aftermath.

Upon returning to Hogwarts, Scott found that every student was staring at him with curiosity.

It seems that the news of his sudden departure from class has spread throughout the entire campus.

"Scott, what happened earlier?"

"Professor Snape died with his nose crooked!"

"Ravenclaw has been penalized twenty points!"

Scott didn't say much to the classmates who approached him to inquire about his situation, but simply told Roger and Eddie what had happened.

But he kept the lie about old Mr. Grevis completely hidden.

Roger and Eddie were both furious after hearing Scott's story.

They believed that Medea was simply better at disguising herself than Voldemort, and was essentially a dark lord like Voldemort who had no moral bottom line.

While they were denouncing Medea, Scott was thinking about something else.

Scott encountered Medea twice, but each time she only possessed a ceramic doll and did not reveal her true form, which made it impossible for him to catch her.

This was a problem that Scott had not considered before.

Since mastering the unavoidable "Gungnir," he thought his offensive magic was sufficient, but he had no good solution for this situation.

Although "Gungnir" is known as an unavoidable super magic, it is limited to targets within sight and does not ignore spatial distance like Odin's artifacts in mythology.

To achieve that effect, he would need to combine the magical systems represented by "Gungnir" and "Yuktrasil" into one.

After having this idea, he began to think about it carefully.

Unfortunately, both of these super magics fall under the category of spells. While Scott is quite talented at learning spells, he doesn't seem to be as adept at it as he is at learning transfiguration, and he doesn't have a good idea of ​​how to do it right away.

Both "Gungnir" and "Yuktrasil" are extremely complex super magics, and it is very difficult to learn just one of them, let alone the combination of the two.

Learning these two super magic spells individually is somewhat traceable; Scott can learn them step by step based on the knowledge left by his predecessors. However, the difficulty of combining them is self-evident.

But if it could really be done...

Scott began to imagine.

As long as the opponent's soul aura is captured during the casting of the spell, "Gungnir" can break through space and relentlessly pursue them no matter where they flee.

That's when there's truly no escape!

Thinking about this, Scott could no longer sit still.

He suddenly stood up and walked out of the dormitory.

"Scott?"

Where are you going?

Eddie and Roger asked.

“I have some new ideas.”

Scott left a message, ran to the common room to tell Helena, and then went to the Room of Requirement.

After the study door opened, Helena also passed through the wall and arrived there.

Upon seeing the portrait of Ravenclaw, Scott immediately told her his thoughts and asked for her help.

"Combining them? I've had that idea before, but it's too difficult, so I didn't remind you."

Ravenclaw was not surprised.

"I think that as time goes by, when you have mastered those two super magics to a certain extent, you should be able to move in that direction."

Helena asked, "Do you think this is something Scott can only achieve in the future?"

“That’s just my expectation of him,” Ravenclaw said. “I’m not sure if he can live up to it.”

Scott asked, "If I want to do that, where should I start?"

“The initial runes,” Ravenclaw said. “You only have a portion of them at the moment.”

“I think so too.” Scott nodded knowingly.

“But it may be too late,” Helena said.

Scott said, "Time converter."

“That’s one way,” Ravenclaw said. “Although the Time-Turner is mortgaging the future, it’s the best way for you to increase your leverage.”

“I have never been a fan of students using time converters. If it were you, you could apply for one.”

Helena frowned.

"The time-twister is dangerous. Remember, you can't go back more than five hours, and you shouldn't meet your past self."

Scott nodded.

He decided to go all out.

In addition to applying for the time converter, he also plans to apply for the privilege of not attending classes, as well as the right to use the crown.

With the help of the crown, even more time can be saved.

During the experimental phase, the assistance of arithmetic divination helped him avoid many detours.

Without wasting any time, Scott left the Room of Requirement and explained his ideas to both Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick, and submitted his application.

Both Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick were well aware of the prophecy and the difficulties Scott would face, and they readily agreed to Scott's application.

Back in his dorm room, Scott told Roger and Eddie about his decision to stop attending classes.

"I will support you logistically."

Eddie patted his chest and said.
