The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

On the surface of the [Magic Mirror], one familiar figure after another appears, and at the same time, Ravenclaw's portrait also appears in the frame.

"good evening!"

Scott smiled at everyone.

“Ravenclaw Mentor”.

"Professor Dumbledore."

"Professor Frivi."

Milton.

Roger.

"Eddie."

"Luna".

“Fred.”

“George.”

……

"Good evening……"

The others also responded.

"After this adventurous journey, I have many things to share with everyone..."

Scott and the others chatted enthusiastically.

Outside the window, under the tranquil moonlight, Shay the owl, who had grown quite plump, squinted his eyes, seemingly dozing off.

Side Story 001. Twenty Years Later

2016, fall.

September 1st is the annual day when young wizards enroll in the magic academy.

A brand-new-looking three-story red bus was parked by the roadside. Harry stepped off the bus briskly and took Ginny's hand.

Three children followed behind the two.

The little red-haired girl pouted and followed behind her two older brothers with teary eyes.

“You’ll be going there to school soon, Lily,” Harry said, turning to comfort his youngest daughter.

“Two more years,” Lily said dejectedly. “I want to go now.”

“Hey, you haven’t finished elementary school yet,” said her older brother James, who was a head taller than her.

Lily looked at Ginny with some resentment, "Mom didn't go to elementary school when she was a child."

Ginny laughed.

"I believe the Ministry of Education's decision to offer preschool magic education for young wizards is a wise one."

She turned to look at Harry.

What do you think, darling?

Harry shrugged. "Oh, our Minister of Education, Ms. Granger, would be pleased to hear that."

Ginny couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"gone!"

At that moment, James shouted and led the way towards the seemingly brand-new station, with his younger siblings quickly following behind him.

"Slow down!" Ginny snapped.

The family entered the station and walked through the spacious and bright hall.

At the front of the lobby, a huge mirror that covers the entire wall is displaying train timetables and advertisements on a loop.

"Hey!"

Ron rushed over with his two children.

"Why are you all alone?" Harry asked with a smile.

“Hermione’s going crazy!” Ron shrugged. “Those Americans have agreed to enter the wizarding world, and their Ivermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is moving in too.”

Ginny's eyes lit up. "That means there will be four magic schools in the wizarding world! I'm planning to interview them when they move in."

“You should ask Hermione,” Ron said, pursing his lips.

"father!"

Harry's youngest daughter, Lily, ran over and hugged his leg, looking up at him with her green eyes.

"Rose and Hugo went to the Muggle world. What's it like there? Can we go and have some fun?"

"We want to go too!"

Her two older brothers also said the same thing.

Harry and Ginny looked at Ron.

“It was George and Fred,” Ron said irritably. “The other day, the two of them took the kids to the Muggle world.”

“Oh, speaking of which, because the procedures for entering and leaving the wizarding world are a bit complicated, I haven’t been to the Muggle world for several years.” Harry’s face showed a nostalgic expression.

"We want to go!"

The three children emphasized it again loudly.

“It depends on how you behave!” Ginny said sternly. “If you do well enough at school, I’ll consider taking you there for Christmas!”

Harry lowered his head, looking at Lily's aggrieved face with a helpless expression.

"Alright, it's time for us to enter the station."

Ron gave a reminder, and the group walked noisily toward the waiting room.

……

This is a heavy oak door with a brass-colored nameplate hanging on it.

[Ministry of Magic, UK - Minister's Office]

Hermione rushed over from the other side of the corridor and knocked on the door.

The door opened.

"Minister Diggory!"

"Oh, Hermione."

Cedric, who was engrossed in his work, looked up.

"I already said, just call me Cedric."

“This is the workplace, Minister Diggory,” Hermione said firmly.

Cedric smiled helplessly and nodded readily, "Yes, Minister Granger."

"This is a notification from the Supreme Magic Council."

He pulled out a document and handed it to Hermione.

"It's a document outlining the establishment of a magic university."

"University?"

Hermione took the document with interest and began to read it.

"Open to outstanding graduates from all magic schools who wish to pursue further studies... The headmaster is... Scott Trollope? He's going to personally serve as the headmaster of this university?"

Cedric said, "Look at the lineup of professors. He has poached almost all the best professors from those magic schools, including Hogwarts."

Hermione glanced at the faculty and, unsurprisingly, saw several familiar names.

"This is outrageous!" she couldn't help but frown deeply. "It's absolutely infuriating!"

Cedric quickly tried to calm the seemingly furious education minister.

"I know this weakens the teaching force at the UK Department for Education, but there's nothing we can do about it..."

"hateful!"

Hermione screamed again!

"Why! Why wasn't this magic university there when I graduated from Hogwarts?!"

She gripped the document tightly in her hand, clearly very unwilling to accept it.

"...So that's how it is..."

Cedric looked at her in surprise and chuckled awkwardly.

Hermione stepped forward and slammed the document on the table.

“Ask that Scott guy for me!” she said. “Can working people still go to university? Like me!”

“This is inappropriate…you are already the Minister of Education…” Cedric said weakly.

“He’s the Minister of Education at the British Ministry of Magic!” Hermione emphasized. “And my goal is to enter the High Magical Council!”

Cedric nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I'll ask for you."

……

This is a hidden paradise of flowers where the sun shines eternally. A pure white giant tower stands on the lakeside in the center of the flower sea, surrounded by flowing water.

Scott was entertaining his guests in a room at the top of the tower.

Twenty years later, Scott looks much more mature and composed.

Although wrinkles are not yet visible on her face, she has lost the youthful innocence and vitality of her younger days.
