The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"To use the Time-Turner, you'll need potions to replenish your stamina and energy. Oh, and if you have Felix Felicis at crucial moments, you'll be more likely to succeed. In short, leave the potion procurement to me!"

Roger also said, "If you don't have time to eat, I can deliver your food."

Scott didn't stand on ceremony, "Then it's up to you."

The application for the Time-Turner required approval from the Ministry of Magic. Before that, Scott, Roger, and Eddie took leave to attend the funeral of Mr. Grevis.

The funeral was held on the hilltop where old Mr. Grevis's house was located.

Besides their three roommates, Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick, and several of the original members of the Tower of Babel organization also came.

Of course, Milton's mother also emerged from the Eye of Odin.

At the funeral, Scott also saw Milton's uncle's family.

Compared to Milton's father, his uncle was more like Mr. Grevis, even sharing the same stern and unsmiling personality.

The two families did not seem to have a close relationship; in fact, they were somewhat distant from each other.

None of the people who attended the funeral saw the body of old Mr. Grevis; from the beginning, the coffin, placed amidst the flowers, remained tightly sealed.

The others were not too surprised by this, simply assuming that old Mr. Grevis's body had been damaged by Medea.

But Milton secretly told Scott that the coffin did not contain a real body, but rather stones of equal weight to the body.

“Father hadn’t made up his mind yet,” he said in a low voice, “but my uncle immediately carried out my grandfather’s order after he returned.”

Scott offered no comment, only reassurance: "This was Mr. Grevis's choice; he wanted to protect you descendants."

Milton added, "My father and uncle had a big fight, and our two families will become even more distant from now on."

Scott patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't forget, you possess unique musical magic, which is also a unique legacy. Once you get married and have children, you might be able to develop a special family."

Milton shook his head.

"You know, I will never fall for anyone, and of course I have no plans to get married."

Scott then realized that his friend seemed to be asexual.

All he could say was, "In the future, you can adopt a child, or teach a few apprentices, or even develop a school of musical magic."

Milton finally smiled. "That's too far off."

After the funeral, Uncle Milton and his family left in a hurry, supposedly because they were worried about Medea's revenge.

Scott was also worried that Medea, who had been fooled by the lies, might actually want revenge, so he had Milton's parents move into the [Eye of Odin] space with him.

Milton, on the other hand, returned to Hogwarts with Scott and the others.

The day after Scott returned to Hogwarts, he received the Time-Turner from Dumbledore.

Dumbledore told him that Scott's application was approved because of Ms. Burns' help. Scott, who was already in seventh grade, had been accepted.

Scott listened patiently as Dumbledore explained how to use the Time-Turner before thanking him and leaving.

After that, he took the crown from Professor Flitwick.

From that day on, Scott stopped going to class.

He meticulously planned his hourly schedule based on the frequency of his use of the time converter, and set up several studios in the responsive room where they would not disturb each other. After that, he plunged headlong into the ocean of learning.

His first challenge was mastering the basics of runes.

Although his first encounter with runes was related to the ancient runes he had previously studied, namely runes, the difficulty of learning them was undoubtedly much greater.

Compared to runes, each of these runes represents a more complex meaning and contains a more powerful magical force.

Not to mention the connections and combinations between different runes, which are even more profound and complex.

Even with the help of the crown, Scott still put in a lot of effort.

To save time, he didn't even go back to his dorm room, but instead set up a bedroom in the Requirement Room.

For a time, he almost disappeared from Hogwarts Castle.

In terms of logistics, Eddie and Roger took turns delivering meals to Scott according to his schedule.

Furthermore, because their schedules are not equal, the frequency of their meal deliveries does not align with Hogwarts' three-meal-a-day schedule. Scott needs far more than three meals a day, which requires them to frequently order food from the kitchen.

Eddie and Roger had to attend classes, and later, Fred, George, Luna, and a few other friends joined in taking turns delivering meals.

With the help of others, Scott made the most of the time converter and mastered the initial runes in just one month.

Of course, a month is for other people.

For Scott, it took a full six months.

Chapter 554 Sailing Towards a New Future

After gaining a basic understanding of runes, Scott rested for two days before immersing himself in frequent time reversals once again.

He began to try to disassemble the two super magics and combine them.

Although he knew it would be very difficult, the actual difficulty far exceeded his expectations.

Scott could only try again and again with the help of a crown and arithmetic divination.

Time slipped away quietly like that.

When Scott finally stopped this repetitive, upside-down lifestyle, it was already June.

NEWT has arrived.

NEWT, the advanced wizarding exam, can also be referred to as the Hogwarts graduation exam.

By passing this exam, the seventh graders will officially graduate.

It was only after concluding his current research that Scott noticed the changes in his reflection in the mirror.

What might be four months for others felt like two years for Scott.

In other words, his biological age is already 19 years old.

Both his height and appearance have matured.

But Scott didn't care; it was all worth it.

Next is the exam.

As expected, he passed the exams smoothly and obtained all the certificates he wanted.

After the exam, Scott gathered the original members of the Tower of Babel.

"Was your research successful?"

In the conference room, several people who knew the inside story asked Scott.

Perhaps they were worried about affecting their exams, which is why they hadn't spoken up before.

“It was a success, but there’s still room for improvement,” Scott said. “Because it hasn’t been fully tested, we don’t know how far the maximum attack range will be.”

Although he said that, he was actually quite satisfied with his results.

Others also offered their congratulations.

Scott didn't elaborate on that issue, instead shifting the conversation to the future after graduation.

"This meeting is mainly for the seventh-grade members: Roger, Milton, Fred, and George. I want to ask each of you about your plans for the future."

Fred shouted, "We'll open a joke prop shop first!"

“This has always been our dream,” George added.

“I will continue to study music further,” Milton said. “Only by studying music itself more deeply can I further enhance my musical magic.”

Roger shrugged. "I still haven't decided."

Eddie stood up abruptly.

"Didn't I tell you? We're going to start a media company together! And control the most important propaganda channel in the magical world!"

He spoke loudly to the crowd.

"You should have waited for me for a year!"

Scott asked him, "Is your idea still to build a magical network television?"

Eddie nodded. "The traditional print media in the British magical world has been monopolized, so we have to find another way."

“We can perhaps make some preparations,” Fred said.

Scott said, "I need to wait until it's all over."

“It will be over soon,” Luna suddenly said. “Very soon.”

Scott smiled and nodded.

After the meeting, Scott was temporarily unwilling to participate in other practical matters related to the Tower of Babel.

As graduation approached, he had a hunch that everything the prophecy revealed was about to unfold.

On the eve of graduation, Ravenclaw College, as usual, held a farewell party in the common room.

After Professor Flitwick finished speaking, Scott found himself seemingly the most popular person in the room.

In addition to his classmates from the same year, many younger students who were not usually familiar with him also came to talk to him.

Scott handled the situation with relative ease.

After speaking with almost three-fifths of the students in the entire college, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the sofa in the corner, sat down, and enjoyed Milton and his classmates' performance on stage.

Not long after, Luna walked through the crowd and sat down next to Scott.

She was wearing a sparkly cake dress, and her hair was a mess from dancing wildly with a group of people; she looked a bit crazy.

Congratulations on your graduation.

She raised her glass to Scott.

"Thank you."

Scott picked up his glass and clinked it against hers.

Luna took a sip of butterbeer and then started to space out.
