The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

"Professor." Cedric stood up, "Excuse me, when you said 'put aside the appearance of the body', did you mean that what Scott painted was actually your magic power?"

Professor Flitwick smiled and pointed at Scott, "Why don't we let Mr. Trollope answer this question himself?"

Seeing Professor Flitwick's signal, Scott stood up and said, "That's right. Just like Professor Flitwick said, everyone's magic power is different."

He turned to look at Cedric.

"To be precise, this painting is a painting of my feelings about Professor Flitwick's magic power after I sensed it."

"Is that what you saw?" Cedric asked him.

Scott shook his head, "It's not really seeing. It's a kind of perception, but it's very clear. I just recorded my feelings in the form of painting."

"Yes, magic perception!"

Professor Flitwick said sharply.

"Mr. Trollope has done what most adult wizards cannot!

Not only did he clearly sense my magic, but he also used unprecedented creativity to accurately express his feelings to others through painting!

Although this is a Muggle oil painting, I think the meaning in it is more valuable than a moving magical portrait! "

"Professor." Cedric asked again, "Are you saying that not everyone can do this through in-depth study of magic?"

"Yes, it requires a talent for perception."

Professor Flitwick did not deny it.

He further explained: "Basically everyone can perceive magic, but some people can only perceive it vaguely, while some people can clearly detect the information contained in the wizard's magic..."

"Is this why you can always detect who is approaching you in advance?" Roger whispered to Scott.

Scott nodded and said to Roger and Milton: "I think Milton also has this talent."

Roger agreed, "Yes, Milton, you've always been very perceptive."

"It's still far behind compared to Scott."

Milton was in a good mood at the moment and seemed to have forgotten last night's "failure."

He even joked to himself, "Also, most people would just say that my personality is too sensitive."

At this time, the official class time has arrived.

Professor Flitwick immediately ended the topic on magic perception and asked everyone to open their respective textbooks.

"Please read the first chapter of the book. What we are going to learn today is the Flying Curse..."

…

Scott didn't know if others had discovered that he could roughly judge a person's personality and inner character by sensing magic.

This can actually be seen from Milton's interpretation of the painting.

This was also the reason why he thought Jacob Kent was not lying before.

At the same time, he was also thinking that in the "original book", Tom Riddle, who had not yet become Voldemort, was loved by all the teachers in school, but Dumbledore never believed him, probably because his magic performance could not convince Dumbledore.

…

When the midday sun penetrated the classroom windows and hit everyone, the morning spell class ended.

"Thank you for the gift, Scott. Now, I'm going to show this student work to the other professors!"

Flitwick spoke to Scott alone, then waved his wand to make the painting float behind him, and left the classroom with his head held high.

"Oh! Now you are going to be completely famous, Scott." Roger patted Scott on the shoulder, indicating that he should pay attention to the looks of the students around him.

"This is good. Scott has such a talent and needs to be shown." Milton was happy for Scott.

The Ravenclaw classmates also came over to congratulate Scott.

"Congratulations, Scott."

"Good job, Scott."

Often, Ravenclaws admire those who go the extra mile, no matter what.

They knew very well that Scott's ability to do things like that couldn't be summed up in one sentence: "talent".

Talent also requires accumulation of sufficient knowledge and experience to turn into actual strength.

"Thank you." Scott thanked him calmly.

"Scott, you did something unexpected again."

Cedric of Hufflepuff also walked over with a smile.

Scott and he are both members of Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club, and the two have a good relationship.

The two belong to different academies and are equally talented in the art of transformation. They are both friends and competitors.

Cedric also patted Scott on the shoulder, "Don't leave us peers too far behind."

"I'm not stopping, Cedric," Scott said with a smile.

Cedric sighed, "Looks like I need to work harder."

…

Four days flew by.

On Sunday, Roger woke up everyone in the dormitory early in the morning.

"What's the matter? Roger."

Scott leaned back on the pillow and didn't want to move, only opened his eyes and looked at Roger.

At this moment, Roger had put on a full set of Quidditch uniforms and protective gear, holding his broomstick in his hand.

"Come on, come with me to the stadium and see if Ravenclaw will have any decent newcomers this year." Roger said enthusiastically to his three roommates.

"Please..." Milton said vaguely with his eyes closed, "I remember the Quidditch team selection is on the weekend of the second week?"

Roger said: "Captain Bruce decided to observe the newcomers who are interested in participating in the team selection a week in advance and give them some guidance. He hopes that the newcomers will perform better in the selection next week."

Eddie, who had just sat up, fell back on the bed with a bang, "Just because of this? What does this have to do with us!"

"Come on, friends! You are all Ravenclaw!" Roger raised his voice, "I think you need to know more about our college team."

Scott felt that Roger's words were completely illogical, and he picked up a pillow and threw it at Roger.

"We won't go!"

...

But Scott and the others finally came to the Quidditch stadium and sat in the audience.

"Merlin! Roger is so annoying! He murdered our sleep!"

Eddie gnawed a sandwich and kept complaining.

Milton leaned on his seat with lifeless eyes, looking up at the sky still floating with morning mist.

Scott also took a piece of bread and ate it slowly. Neither of them responded to Eddie's meaning.

But Eddie didn't care. He seemed to be talking happily alone.

"Yesterday morning, the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams had a conflict here because of the competition for the court."

He showed off the news he had inquired about to Scott and Milton.

"Malfoy, a second-year student in Slytherin, became their new seeker because his father, Malfoy, sponsored the latest flying broom, Nimbus 2001, for their entire team!"

Seeing that Scott and Milton still didn't respond, he talked about the Ravenclaw Quidditch team in front of him.

"If you ask me, the most watched Quidditch star in Ravenclaw this year is Qiu Zhang, a third-year student. It's a pity that she wants to become a seeker, and our seeker will not graduate until next year. Maybe she will temporarily become a substitute seeker?"
