The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

"Welcome, it's been a long time."

He hugged each of his guests.

"Professor Dumbledore."

"Professor Frivi."

"Professor Russell."

When it was Snape's turn, dressed in all black, the Potions Professor refused the hug with a look of disgust, only shaking hands with him reservedly.

“I appreciate your proposal to establish a university.”

Professor Snape said in his usual smooth tone.

"But I hope you can be strict in your selection process and not follow the tradition of magic schools, always recruiting a group of students who are not much smarter than trolls."

“Of course,” Scott assured him. “We only accept the best graduates from magic schools.”

Professor Flitwick, who was standing nearby, said, "Oh, don't worry, Severus, only bright and inquisitive students choose to study at university."

Scott gestured for everyone to sit down, and said with some regret, "Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall declined my invitation."

Professor Dumbledore said helplessly, "Alright, Scott, you're draining Hogwarts dry. Minerva is the headmistress of Hogwarts, and she said that your skill in Transfiguration has surpassed hers."

“But I might not necessarily teach,” Scott said with a laugh.

Next, they began to discuss the university's curriculum.

Side Story 002. Scott and Luna (They're a couple)

After discussing the university's curriculum with a group of professors and seeing off all the guests, Scott stood alone by the window, looking down at the endless sea of ​​flowers.

On the shimmering lakeshore, a group of unicorns, their bodies bathed in a soft glow, were bowing their heads to drink.

In the blink of an eye, a graceful figure appeared among the unicorn herd, bending down to gently stroke the mane of a baby unicorn.

She wore an unremarkable long dress and a somewhat worn straw hat, but her long, curly hair stood out, radiating a faint glow like that of a unicorn.

"I'm back."

Scott crossed space and appeared behind her.

"My Magical Creatures Expert".

"Hi Scott, I'm back."

Luna turned around, a contented smile on her face.

Twenty years have passed, and Luna's youthful appearance has faded, but her ethereal and quirky temperament remains unchanged.

She always lived happily in her own world, seemingly untouched by any worldly influences.

“As of today, all the magical creatures in North America have been transferred to the magical world,” she told Scott happily.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Scott reached out and took off her straw hat, then smoothed her slightly messy hair behind her ear with his fingers.

“No,” Luna shook her head. “I’d be happy to do it.”

As she spoke, she looked at the unicorns again.

"I hope that all magical creatures can start a wonderful new life in the magical world, just like us and like them."

“No problem,” Scott said with a smile. “The magical world is large enough, with a variety of natural environments, to be a new home for all magical creatures.”

Luna nodded, her smoky gray eyes looking at Scott. "I know, it's all thanks to you."

"No, it's the result of our collective efforts."

Scott took her hand, and the two strolled along the lake.

“The magical communities in South America and Africa have already contacted us and expressed their intention to join the magical community.”

He whispered to Luna.

"After the wizards in North America have settled down, they will also move in."

Luna was overjoyed upon hearing this. "So, only Eastern wizards remain?"

Scott nodded, his expression somewhat complicated.

"What's wrong?" Luna asked.

“Most of the countries in the East should be fine,” Scott said. “Especially Japan in the Far East, where Milton spent a long time and the wizards there were almost all captivated by his music.”

Luna nodded gently upon hearing this. "I know where the only exception is."

“China,” Scott murmured, uttering the word that held a special meaning for him. “None of us know anything about it.”

Luna was somewhat surprised. "You don't even know Cedric and Qiu? I've met many wizards from China and seen some magical creatures from China."

“Those wizards are just of Chinese descent,” Scott explained. “Like Qiu, her family left their homeland several generations ago, and she was the only one who awakened to become a wizard, so it was only natural for her to come to Hogwarts to learn magic.”

Luna's eyes widened. "You mean?"

Scott nodded affirmatively.

“Currently, all the sorcerers in China who are publicly known have this background; they are all Chinese who have studied magic abroad. But I believe that there are still hidden traditional forces in that land.”

Luna, "Have you been in contact with them?"

Scott shook his head.

“Those Chinese wizards are not enthusiastic about joining our magical world. Judging from their reactions, they may have an alternate world similar to the magical world.”

At this point, they arrived at the white tower, naturally ending the conversation.

"By the way, our envisioned university is ready."

Scott talked about the magic university under construction.

"You should also prepare your classroom for protecting magical creatures, Professor Lovegood."

In college, each student would only choose one subject to study for a period of time. Scott adopted a small class teaching system where one professor was in charge of one classroom, similar to a graduate school in a Muggle university.

"What else?" Luna asked with interest.

Scott told her, "Professor Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape, Professor Russell, and many other distinguished wizards from other magic schools will all set up their own classrooms at the university to enroll their students."

Luna said, "I can't wait to see the day school starts."

“There are other surprises as well,” Scott said with a smile. “The university also has a ‘knowledge bank’ from the academic community, and we’ve also set up some elective classrooms that are only open at certain times each year.”

Luna immediately understood, "It's them?"

Scott nodded.

"Milton's magical music classroom, Eddie's magical media classroom, Fred and George's economics classroom, Cedric's management classroom, Harry's Quidditch..."

He rattled off a list of elective courses his friends had set up, as if they were his own treasures.

It is foreseeable that life at this university will be very colorful.

Chatting and laughing, the two arrived at the top of the white tower.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's the name of this university?"

Before going to take a shower, Luna turned to Scott and asked.

“The university is named ‘Asgard,’” Scott replied. “This is in honor of the predecessors of the ‘School of Asgard,’ whose knowledge made a great contribution to the formation of the magical world.”

"So, where's your classroom?" Luna asked again.

“My classroom is named ‘Rimbaud’,” Scott said softly.

"It sounds beautiful."

"Thank you."

Scott walked to the window again, looking at the clear sky outside, and seemed to see a black raven spreading its wings and taking flight.

With his magical skill, he could have used Transfiguration to create a new Rimbaud that looked exactly like the old Rimbaud and even had his memories, but he never did.

"Oh, do you miss him?"

After a long while, Luna, having finished her shower, came out of the bathroom and leaned against him.

“I miss him a little too,” she said softly. “The Blackwing Lord is my friend too, isn’t he?”

Yes, he likes you a lot.

Scott turned around and hugged her.

"I lost something in order to defeat the enemy."

He inhaled the faint floral scent of her hair.

"But I'm still glad I didn't lose anything more."

Luna reached out and hugged his waist tightly.

She buried her face in his chest and whispered, "At least, I've always been here."

Scott chuckled softly.

"Thank you, Luna."

I'm so lucky to have met you.

Side Story 003. Lily's Day

"I love you, Anna."

"I love you too, Edward."

Lily cupped her burning face in her hands, her eyes fixed on the handsome man and beautiful woman slowly approaching in the scene.

"Oh, Lily! On the first day of summer vacation, you're watching that stupid TV show again!"

Just then, her brother Albus's mocking laughter came from behind the sofa.

"They're so silly, aren't they? Oh, I wasn't talking about your favorite celebrities, I was talking about the characters they play in TV dramas..."
